Luke deserves more recognition and every new person arriving in camp needs to know about him

As the preview of cotg has released, I just had to read it and I came across the paragraph where Percy mentions that when campers grow up and monsters don't deem them important enough to attack anymore they leave camp and go in colleges where they find a new life except a occasional monster here and there. We have already seen this with Clarisse, Charles bekhendorf (atleast he would have gone if he lived with silena). I am guessing that the older campers get chiron to manipulate the mist to make a application for the mortal institutions, especially the year rounders.

Luke was also a year rounder, he was 19 when we first saw him in lightening thief. He could have asked Chiron to do the same for him and left his demigod life behind to become something more in the mortal world. But he didn't do that. He took notice of the unclaimed campers in his cabin who go on stupid quests to make their parents notice them where sometimes they die unknown, sometimes they fail and continue unclaimed and sometimes hardly they are recognized. He looked at Annabeth, his sister who wanted to prove herself to someone who would never be proud of her to the extent she deserves. He saw his friend Thalia who protected the campers more as a tree than the gods ever did. The unclaimed campers would never be happy, Annabeth's eagerness to make her mom proud could cost her life and Thalia being a tree was only due to zeus taking pity, this was the pity a god had on them.

Luke could have left, but he didn't. He started a war against gods for all these reasons. Yes there were moments I hated Luke when he betrayed Percy, manipulated Annabeth and poisoned Thalia. Yes he was responsible for many deaths and he did choose the wrong side because of his short sight. But no one can tell me his intentions were wrong. His execution went against his morals of saving campers, however the gods were no saint and deserved the blow. He really had no choice though, the gods had already lost his trust and kronos manipulated him to make himself the better option and he failed to notice until too late. Even then in the end he did the right thing and he never let his intentions go in vain. He used his dying breath to pass on his ideals and made percy promise that he will make sure the demigods have better life.

Yes the new campers need to be told Percy is the reason they have their cabin family where they find people similar to them and their parents notice them including children of minor gods, however they also need to be told about Luke castellan who was the first one to notice them and who till his last breath fought to make their life better. Luke was a hero who did negative things but in the end he was also the reason the lives of greek demigods changed for the better even if slightly.

Please write more demi-god Au!!! Especially for celebrating celebrating S2 renewal I'm so happy 😊

I am so happy that s2 has been announced! I love Sea of Monsters, and can't wait to see what they do with it. Although I do wish that they give us slightly longer episodes 😭

But here! Have a little something!

"He's got a face that no one could ever love"

Lando didn't respond to the taunt. It was one he'd heard before, and in all his years at camp as an unclaimed kid, he'd heard worse. It didn't really bother him anymore so he just focused on what he was doing.

The bident in his hand was well balanced. A courtesy of Kevin, one of the older kids in the Hephaestus cabin. Kevin was one of the most skilled campers at crafting weapons, and an even better friend to Lando. The older boy had always looked out for him, and creating the perfect weapon had been part of that.

"Look at his hair. Does he even brush it?"

Another round of laughter burst from behind him, and Lando huffed but focused on the task at hand. He focused on guiding himself through the different excercises when a smile crossed his face at the voice that called out behind him.

"With a forehead like yours Estelle, and hair with that many splits ends, Adam, you two had no room to talk", Charles voice was cold and cutting, but it was a familiar and welcome voice to Lando.

"Bitch", Estelle hissed, but when Lando turned around, her and Adam were walking away. Only Charles remained, his arms crossed and eyes narrowed as he watched them walk away and only when they were out of sight did his gaze soften as he turned to look at Lando.

"Charlie, you didn't have to be rude", Lando teased, lowering his silver and black bident to rest the butt against the ground.

"They were being assholes, not me", Charles grinned with a laugh, moving only to hug Lando tightly, "I missed you"

Lando let himself melt into his friends embrace. His eyes closed as he hugged him back just as tight because he had missed Charles. He always missed the sharp witted son of Aphrodite whenever he was away from camp.

"I miss you too, pretty boy", Lando teased, pulling back with red cheeks, "Dod you bring me back anything nice?"

Charles stared at him for a moment longer before throwing an arm around his shoulder to lead him away from the training grounds.

"I got you something nice, yes", Charles smiled, leading them towards the Aphrodite cabin, "Did you make any new friends while I was gone?"

Lando grinned.

"I got a pet Cerberus"

"WHAT?"

Daily diary: Saturday, 11 May 2024

“Spiritual life is not mental life. It is not thought alone. Nor is it, of course, a life of sensation, a life of feeling – “feeling” and experiencing the things of the spirit, and the things of God.” – Thomas Merton, Thoughts in Solitude

It’s 05:12.

I’m sat here in the kitchen. The sun is peeking out, but not yet risen. I have a cup of coffee poured; the mug that it sits in has a picture of Charles Bukowski smoking. That pleases me – all of it. 

All of it.

I have looked at Tumblr and shared a wonderful Mary Oliver poem from this site.

And I feel (as yesterday) grateful. 

A sort of relaxed grateful, one I inhabit with a light touch. 

I know that ‘this’ won’t last and won’t be forever.

I was told yesterday by Allison and daughter #2 that I was unemployed. Technically I am but I am being paid for the next seven days – the number of days holiday I accrued from the last teeth-gnashing gig that I never took. I also have a job lined up to start a week Monday and so: (a) I don’t feel unemployed, (b) I want to kick back and feel the full width of my seven-odd days before I’m back in the admininstrivia that will order my days, and (c) I feel I’ve earned this period, given that I’ve not taken my foot of the workplace gas for the last six years.

What shall I do today?

I don’t honestly know. See my kids and hopefully speak to daughter #1. I was going to go see her next week but the only day she can fit me in is the same day I’m attending a funeral of someone I once worked with. I’ll go for a walk – I might do something a bit different instead of my loop around South Brent – and undoubtedly I’ll lose myself in the haze of “chores” that need doing around our wee house. There will also be a bit of reading; I want to use the above book as a form of daily meditation. Merton’s favourite book of mine is “New Seeds of Contemplation” which I can highly recommend, alongside any of his work.  And there will be some poetry. Always poetry. 

And then?

Who knows.

The thing is: as you get older, or as I age, I find myself lost in the reverie of the small and quite insubstantial things. That’s code for saying I can sometimes find myself looking at a tree, admiring the view or even grinding coffee by hand and feel I’m touched by a deep spiritual valance.

Anyhow, enough of my rambling ode to the day.

Happy days campers.

Blessings, Julian

PS. Here is a Mary Oliver poem – if you’re not already familiar with her work.

When death comes

When death comes like the hungry bear in autumn; when death comes and takes all the bright coins from his purse

to buy me, and snaps the purse shut; when death comes like the measle-pox

when death comes like an iceberg between the shoulder blades,

I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering: what is it going to be like, that cottage of darkness?

And therefore I look upon everything as a brotherhood and a sisterhood, and I look upon time as no more than an idea, and I consider eternity as another possibility,

and I think of each life as a flower, as common as a field daisy, and as singular,

and each name a comfortable music in the mouth, tending, as all music does, toward silence,

and each body a lion of courage, and something precious to the earth.

When it's over, I want to say all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

When it's over, I don't want to wonder if I have made of my life something particular, and real.

I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened, or full of argument.

I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.

--Mary Oliver

Five times Beckendorf was there for Lanta, and the one time he wasn't

Warnings: Angst, Major character death, fluff, found family

Pairings: None

Characters: Charles Beckendorf, Atlanta Jackson (OC)

1-

Lanta sits alone after dinner, her first day already awful. Only eight. She lost a flight with Clariese earlier in an attempt to prove she could protect her family and go home.

As per her hasty deal, she's to stay here for a while until she's good enough with a weapon to protect her family.

The strawberry fields are green and blooming in the late spring evening.

"Hey, Atlanta." Calls the dark skinned boy from earlier. He'd tried to help her find a solution to her problems.

"Lanta. Atlanta sounds wrong." She says without bothering to look at him.

"Lanta. I just wanted to check on you."

"I'm fine."

"I know you are. But I meant after that fight. Clariese hits hard."

"I hit back!" Lanta defends, turning to look at him.

He laughs at that, low and warm. "You did. Don't tell anyone- but I saw Clariese rubbing her side afterwards. "

"Good." She sniffs, crossing her arms in pure defiance. "I would hate to loose without a fight."

"Good. That means you'll learn fast."

"I-... I'm sorry. What was your name? I- met a lot of people today..."

He smiles, sitting beside her with little fanfare. "Beckendorf. "

"That's a weird name. But okay, nice to meet you."

"Is Luke treating ypu well?"

"Yeah. He is. Got a bunk and everything."

"That's good. And hopefully you'll be claimed soon."

"I hope so... I just hope I'm not Ares... his kids are loud."

Beckendorf snorts at that, "They really are. Maybe you'll be Hepehstus. Or aphrodite?"

"Maybe Apollo. I always loved music."

"Maybe so. But you know your godly parent doesn't define you. Right?"

"I know. Mom always said-... That I was special because I was me..."

"You miss her already?"

"Yeah. Her and my brother."

"I'm sorry, Lanta."

"It's fine. I'm sure I'll go home in no time."

"Me too."

++++

2-

Lanta spends the rest if spring at camp. And summer brings all sorts of new campers, new faces. Two days in she's on the lake with a nice girl named Ivy when Clariese splashes them.

The other girl rolls her eyes and Clariese laughs, sparking off.

Lanta doesn't really mind Clariese or her exterior, having found her a good match for sparring. But she does mind the water soaking her socks!

A wave rises in the lake as Lanta wishes to flip Clariese's canoe.

Everyone falls silent, pointing above Lanta’s head. A glowing trident graces the space above the brown curls.

"Hail Atlanta Jackson, daughter of Lord Posidon the earth shaker." Chiron calls above the muttering voices.

Lanta is lost as things happen, being called to the big house and having it explained she's the daughter of a big three god. How that means a lot of things.

But when she moves her things from the Hermes cabin to the Posidon cabin Beckendorf helps. His presence calming.

"So... I talked to my cabin and we agreed you should join our classes. And I know you're a cabin counselor now but- you also have me and my cabin to help you. And Luke."

"Oh- thanks. That's- really nice."

"Of course. You deserve someone to help ypu learn the ropes, Lanta."

"I appreciate it a lot." She says, putting her bedding on the bunk she's chosen in her new cabin.

"And just so you know, you are always welcome in the Hepehstus cabin. You've already proven yourself."

"Oh. Really?"

"Of course. Anyone who takes on Clariese for fun and is willing to brave the forge for hours is good in our books."

"It's not that impressive I just liked watching you make a sword."

"If you say so."

"Hey Beckendorf?"

"Yeah?"

"Who would I talk to about different weapon choices? Even well balanced blades feel wrong."

"Probably the Ares or Hepehstus cabins."

"Thanks."

++++

3-

Lanta stands in the middle of the circle her friends have created. Milo, Ivy, Freddie, Lorena, Annabeth, Luke, Clariese, and Beckendorf all smiling at her.

Lanta tenth birthday drawing their group together in celebration.

Beckendorf hands a small wrapped package to Lanta, "Happy birthday, kid."

"Thanks Beckendorf." She says.

Opening the present she sees a golden ring-braclet that's joined by chains it has four rings. There is a separate golden ring as well, engraved with waves.

Lanta puts the jewlry on, her hand chain piece warm. The separate ring stands against her skin.

"They're weapons. I pulled some favors with the hekate kids, they'll return to you if lost."

"Wait- weapons?"

"Twist and pull the ring."

Lanta does, and a large trident appears, balanced to her. With a gasp her eyes light up.

Dropping the weapon, she pulls Beckendorf into a hug, "Thank you!"

"You haven't even seen the other one."

"Wait they're both weapons?!"

Beckendorf laughs at that, "Course. Pull the hand chain off, and it becomes a net."

"A net?! Beckendorf thank you thank you thank you!" She says, hugging him tighter. "You're the best!"

"Of course kid. I want you to be safe."

"You're so cool!

"I made them myself. And the enchantments mean they'll stay just right fir you."

"Oh my gods Beckendorf!" She squeals, hugging him tighter still.

Beckendorf laughs, picking her up off her feet, "Anything you need kid. You let me know."

"I will. Thank you. Really."

"That's a hell of a gift." Clariese snorts.

"Yeah. I lobe it!"

+++++++

4-

Lanta collapses into Beckendorf, shaking as she finds solace in him. "Percy is still stuck with Smelly Gabe."

"Oh, kid. Atalantic."

"Beckendorf I am scared to go home. And perce still has to face-"

"Atlanta. Kid. You're allowed to be scared. And your twin would never want you ti go home if you're scared."

"But he's there-"

"Atlanta we will get that man away from your mother. But for now we need you to be safe."

"But-"

"Atlanta. Please kid. Just trust me."

She shakes harder as she holds back the blurring years in jer eyes. She looks up at him, blue eyes blurring.

"But what about-"

"Percy is fine. I promise."

"I should go home. I can fight monsters from mythology one mortal man-" She chokes on a half hearted sob.

"Atlanta Jackson, listen to me. You are brave and resilient and you protect those you love. But you are nor expected to save everyone. And it is better you stay here. As awful as it is, you are out if practice with the man. Percy is not."

"But-"

"We can send Clariese after him next summer."

Lanta chuckles a little at the thought, "Yeah. And Lee?"

"And Lee. Now rest. Mh?"

"Okay... Stay with me?"

"Of course, Lanta."

++++

5-

"Charlie." Lanta whispers as she joins him on the lake shore.

"Jackson."

"I'm terrified. War is coming and I don't think we're going to win. Much less live."

Charles Beckendorf looks at her, his eyes warm like embers. "Not all of us will. But we will win."

"How are you so sure?"

"We have to. The titans are far worse than the gods."

"I- yeah... but we're going to die."

"Atlanta. For us to win, we have to want to win more than we want to live. Then after that, when we've won, we have to choose to live again."

"But- we'll have lost so many."

"You'll live. Do you understand what that means?

"Breathing?"

"That's surviving. Living is enjoying life. We'll win. And then we'll live, memorize the ones lost."

"You're smart... But I'm still scared."

"We all are." He says, setting his hand on her shoulder. "But you'll be fine. I'm sure of it."

"Maybe I'll live. But who do I have to lose first? My partners are already away on a quest I was medically forced out of."

"I know. But no one knows how many will be lost."

"Too many already, Charlie... Just- stay safe tomorrow with Percy. Okay?"

"Okay. And for what it's worth, you're a good kid."

"Thanks for being my big brother. "

Beckendorf falls quiet at that, the quiet that means he's thinking. He isn't a loud person, or talkative beyond reason. But thus quiet means something.

"Thank you for being my sister." He says, pulling her into a hug. "You are always welcome in the Hepehstus cabin."

"Thanks."

Beckendorf just holds her, his arms and large frame dwarfing her. She is by no means small, muscled and six foot tall, Beckendorf is just that big.

++++

+1 -

Lanta dosen’t mourn- really mourn until she is home from the battle of Manhattan.

She collapses into the lake as soon as she makes it to camp. The water loosening the dried blood from her form.

In the last two weeks she's lost so many, her partners, her friends, Beckendorf, the people who helped shape her life.

The draiyds and other lake dwelling creatures all watch her with curious eyes.

Lanta sobs, as she sinks further intot he water. Her life is ruined. And she-

Camp went from two hundred or so to twenty total. And that's during summer.

She curls in on herself, falling onto her side as the bottom of the lake envelopes her. She just wants back her family.

Wants back the people who shaped her.

And yeah, she has Percy, and Annabeth. And her mom!

But-

Her big brother is gone.

Her lovers are gone.

Silena- who had always been kind and like family died righting the wrongs she made.

Lanta feels more alone than ever, with Lee and Michela and most people gone she's lost.

She just wants to go back for five minutes, hug them one last time.

And she can't.

She's lost them all.

🌳

Thank you for sending me a prompt :D This one shot it definitely not proofread, so I'm sorry about that.

I tried to do something different aside from Percabeth for once - Ruegard! Also tw: character death

Thorns and Roses

Silena looked at her. “Clarisse…” she mumbled.

“No. Please don’t,” Clarisse cried. Tears clouded her vision and her last moments with her.

“I’m so sorry.”

It took a mere split second for Clarisse to fall deep for her. It was a lazy glance to the side of the arena, when she saw her smile and wink. The encouraging wave of her hand that rose as Clarisse slammed Percy with her magical spear.

But that was all that it took, many summers ago. It was all that Clarisse little hardened heart needed. Clarisse La Rue, formally bully exterior, now nothing but a shell of destruction and failure.

She was truly her father’s creation. Her looks, her wit, her sharpened senses, her rage. All came from him unfortunately. But with the looks came the bad. The legitimate children of Zeus and Hera were cursed, no one wanted to admit it. They lacked in tact, they lacked in grace. Their status was only high lightened by their status and birth rights.

The captivating beauty of one Silena Beauregard was all that made Clarisse nearly forget those facts. Those pesky thoughts that had haunted her ever since she was a child. A child of Ares who had the greatest honor and the greatest displeasure of actually meeting her father.

The minute the son of Poseidon stepped into the camp; everyone knew. He looked like a younger and smaller version of his father; most people just played the indifferent card aside from that annoying Athena girl. Had Annabeth owned the medical tool kit from the Apollo cabin, she would have dissected Percy as if he were an insect. But no. Percy was successful with retrieving the lightning bolt and found out that one of the most beloved and prominent campers was a traitor. It was a wonder that Luke never bothered to try to recruit from the Ares cabin. With Clarisse on his side, it would have been a stroll through the parks, waging war against Olympus. Not only that, Percy had the nerve to humiliate her father for all to see. The Ares cabin had been the laughing stock for a whole year.

Then the sea rat stole her mission and final chance to shine and marked Clarisse’s downfall. Disgust. That was what her father breathed the few times she had seen him and pleaded for his advice. Strategizing wasn’t the strength of the legitimate war children. It was blood lust, destruction, interruption. And just like that he had wiped the Iris message with his hand, closing their call.

Clarisse La Rue, the biggest failure on Mount Olympus. But she was different. Silena, who greeted her every day. Silena who asked how she was feeling. It was Silena who was nurturing and caring. She who clearly sought her out and bonded with Clarisse. The campers saw it and yet they didn’t. Clarisse turned from the loud and brash leader of the cabin into a more solemn version of herself.

Love and war. Thorns and roses. They were opposites, but who was about to say they would attract each other? Love was pure and soft. It made you swoon and see the world through different lenses. War was the other side of the spectrum. It tore apart, it hurt, it caused pain. It would leave scars for eternity as love stood by its side to caress it. Ares and Aphrodite. Two forces not to be reckoned with. The beauty of a rose was always accompanied by the pain of its thorns.

“I want to see Charlie. See… Charlie…” coughed Silena. Blood sticked to her torn lips.

“I’m in love,” Silena had giggled back then. She tried to bite the smile down that came through anyways. Just like always.

Clarisse could hear her own heart beat louder with every new tact. It was beating to the rhythm of anticipation. She licked her lips and tried not to nervously touch her dull hair. I love you too.

“It’s Charlie, Charles Beckendorf.” Silena admitted, her blue eyes shining as bright as a thousand stars. Then she smiled again and broke Clarisse’s heart into tiny pieces.

It was the greatest irony of them all that a child of Hephaestus stole the heart of the daughter of Aphrodite all while the mighty speechless fruit of Ares could do nothing but sit there and watch. The gods must have a feast with that gossip on Mount Olympus.

O gods, why did you shoot Clarisse with the arrow of love? Eros, how could you? Didn’t she suffer enough shame and humiliation? It wasn’t that Clarisse was angry or disappointed. She was truly as happy for Silena as Silena was in love. She wanted to see her flower bloom and see her smile every day. If it meant that it was Charles who captured that precious place so be it.

But it was… Jealousy? No, Clarisse didn’t want to steal Silena away from Beckendorf. They deserved each other. Despite the children of Hephaestus being mental twins to the children of Ares, both with their and non-conforming looks, their strength and the cautious glances the other campers threw into their direction, Clarisse didn’t wish her cousin any harm. Beckendorf was shy around Silena and even if watching them share small kisses here and there caused Clarisse’s stomach to drop. She wanted Silena to blossom.

It was envy. If Clarisse could switch parts with Beckendorf she would do so in a heartbeat. He was polite and quite popular even if he wasn’t aware of it. While most of Hephaestus’ creations had a harsh tone to them, Beckendorf was truly one of his best to rise. The heart of a fighter and the smarts that could beat any quantum computer. And he beat Clarisse too, when it came to Silena Beauregard’s heart.

Clarisse tried to branch out, meet new people even in camp. She tried to keep an eye out for any other possible romantic partner, alas to no success. She was no dainty small girl which others seemed to prefer. She had her height and her muscles in her arm that beat most mortal men. No chance for her witty and empathetic personality to shine through.

Clarisse was no child of Aphrodite. She couldn’t smell emotions on a whim, but her father’s powers gave her a similar skillset. She could sense whenever something wasn’t right and it started months ago before the Battle of Manhattan. Silena was distant. Her hair was less shiny and her eyes as dull as the calm seas. She couldn’t look her in the eyes. She was distracted, looked to the side.

Something was off with her, no matter how much positivity the daughter of Aphrodite used to cover her tracks. Clarisse could tell, but she was tactful enough to not pry. Oh, had she pried back then. She had seen the signs, why didn’t she step up and say something? The difference between desperation and the calm before the storm was so small.

Silena ran away from Clarisse as if she had been hit by the arrow of hatred. The beauty could tell that she was unable to deceive her dearest friend. So, she stopped talking to her at all, avoiding her on every occasion. No more boy trouble, no more talks, no more sneaking off to the beach, no more laying down and watching the stars. Well, Silena watched the stars. Clarisse could only see her.

The manipulation of the Aphrodite cabin never worked on the children of Ares. They saw clear through lies and deception. In war every moment counted. You needed to be one with your environment. You needed to know your opponent. Was he stronger than you? Did he have more men? Was he able to do things you could never do? Would he risk things you would never do?

Avoidance was clearly the better tactic. Silena had learned a lot from Annabeth and the other children of Athena back in those days.

The moment Clarisse’s heart began to break forever was when it turned out that Silena had been the spy for the cursed Castellan boy. That he was. A naïve boy who thought that whining and throwing a fit on the ground would cause change. As the son of one of the master manipulators on Mount Olympus, Luke should have seen Kronos’ betrayal a mile away. But he was a broken and cursed boy like all of them, a kid in college and the Titan Lord cracked him like a walnut. No one in camp could have resisted, not even the strongest children like Percy, Thalia and Nico.

But why her? Why Silena? What did he do to Clarisse’s sweet Silena? What did he do that made her lights go out forever? What did he do to let her die like that? She deserved the death of a warrior, not the death of being the traitor’s second-class shadow.

Silena had chosen her in the end. Her, poor Clarisse La Rue. Like Patroclus and Achilles back then, millennia ago. She chose to disguise herself as Clarisse. The greatest deception, a war tactic of its own.

How had Achilles overcome his loss? How did he mourn? With agony. With the most destructive pain. With anger. Was he ever reunited with his lover? Clarisse did not know the answer. All she saw was her rose wilting on the dirty grounds of Manhattan.

The poison tore Silena’s face apart, the sad reminder of her being was slowly decaying. The shell of her being. The pain that she left in Clarisse’s heart. Silena had coughed and Clarisse knew it was time for Thanatos to put an end and for Hermes to bring her to the other side. She knew it, yet didn’t want to face the truth. It would break her already broken heart.

“Why did you do this?” whimpered Clarisse. “Why did you, you silly girl?”

But Clarisse knew why. It was like always – Silena did it out of love. Both for Beckendorf and for her. Her last moment was dedicated to the both of them.

The last red petal fell. It was just like that. One last breath and her life force was gone, the eyes dull and an ash gray layer covered her. The teary blue eyes. It was no picture for the gods yet something Clarisse would never forget. Of that she was certain. Silena’s black hair was framing her body like a dark halo. They were putting down roots on the cold and hard concrete. The final whispers of an escaped nymph making peace with the situation.

A piercing cry haltered all movements. Monsters and men alike. It echoed through the streets and drowned out all the noise from the battle grounds. Today they would die. Rage covered every inch of her body. The movements were robotic as if a parasite had taken over her, but it truly was the devastation that manifested itself within Clarisse’s mind.

She had killed that fucking drakon just like it killed one of the most precious people on earth. She never had the chance to hell her that she loved her dearly and sincerely. Deep down Clarisse knew that Silena knew the entire time. But she never had the guts to say it to her face, rejection be damned. To be freed of the burden and speak her truth. Clear her consciousness and her mind.

She was shaking with pain and desperation. Every muscle, every thought burned and hurt. Clarisse channeled all the ugliness of war. All of her strength just for her. She who had just left this plane of existance.

Clarisse had lost her.

The thorns had lost their beauty.

And they would all pay for it.

I hope the Apollon and Daphne theme shone through ^^ lmk what you think!!

Imagine (based on the incomplete fanfic Son of Underworld) (3/5) (Son of Hades! Percy AU)

Before reading, check the masterpost - and read the warnings before proceeding :)) Good reading!

Percy goes back to Yancy, and things proceed as normal. He has nightmares, he misses his mom, who he only saw for a week. He thinks back on last summer and asks himself if it's worth going back to.

Annabeth tries to go back to her father's family. It doesn't go well, but at least they could keep contact using a landline for the three months she can deal with the monsters in her father's new location. There's a weekend he tries to visit her in San Francisco - but he still isn't perfect and lands in Sacramento.

It takes him an hour and a half to reach her - and it's the best weekend of the year, even if he doesn't meet anyone in her family - she is afraid they'll double the monsters in her house.

And her stepmom is racist. So there's that.

Annabeth makes fun of his Academy Uniform, the blazer and the black gloves, the red tie that he hates, and he calls her Wise Girl - he is two grades over her because of her years as a runaway.

It feels a little like a date. There's pizza, and they hold hands when she takes him to see the Golden Gate. He notices that Annie's eyes look literally like molten silver - every demigod carries a trace of their parent, he finally notices.

He can't come back after that - they were attacked by a Hydra, and killing it was only possible because he managed to use fire - a green, weird fire that he did not know he had - to cauterize the stumps.

Blackjack shadow travels him back to Yancy Academy and he and Annie keep the contact for another two weeks before she has to go back to Camp since San Francisco is becoming too dangerous.

It's his last year of middle school. Next year, he doesn't know if he'll continue in Yancy or go for a scholarship at Phillips Academy, in Massachusetts.

It's far. It's almost four hours from his mother, it's six hours from Camp. But it's the best school on the East Coast.

He does his midterms exams. He is in all high of A+ in Geometry, Algebra II, Economics and Government, Ancient World History, and Health&PE.

U.S. History and Science keep between B- and D+, and he is okay with that.

Language Arts and World Cultures can go die in a hole. He hates reading, writing makes him anxious and the only language he can get a C+ is Latin.

They give him a tutor for English - his GPA is only sustained by math. His grades raise a little: They go from F to E+.

There's a girl being tutored with him. She is Cherokee and a grade below him - her name is Piper.

He hates verbs. He hates To Kill a Mockingbird. He will kill a mockingbird if it stops them asking him to read again.

He cheats in his essays - makes skeletons write them for him. They suspect - it's not his handwriting, it's not the way he writes, it has no errors.

They can't prove it, so he scrapes Language Arts with a D+.

His midterm GPA is amazing. He goes see his mother for Christmas, even though he thinks there's no Christ. Maybe. Who knows? He is not celebrating Jupiternalia anyway.

He barely put his bag down when his four weeks with his Mom go down the drain - Thalia and Annabeth appear in his door. He grabs his backpack, his weapons, and go.

Annabeth looks at his hands with wonder - it's the first time she sees them bare in two years, but he puts his gloves back quickly enough.

Thalia is less skittish around him, and that's good. Better, at least. He notices that her eyes aren't only green - there are waves in them, it's like looking at the sea. It changes with her humor, perhaps? He doesn't know.

They make fun of his uniform - but they are going to Westover Hall, and he will merge better if he looks like a preppy kid from a boarding school.

Percy knows about the Mist this time. He helps Thalia to control it - his heart aches when he thinks of his friends. Its been a year and a half now. He misses them.

The daughter of Zeus asks him who taught him.

"The same person who taught you"

She looks at him appreciatively now, but he knows he'll come short of whoever she is measuring him against.

They see the kids. There's a girl looking nervous and overlooking the gym, and a boy by her side fiddling with his cards. Their hair is black just like his - he wishes for a brother and a sister.

Their skin is not like his - but it doesn't matter that they have a different mom, does it? In the end, it's family. Grover says they're powerful - so Big Three might be a possibility.

They're not children of Poseidon - their skin lacks the tan and the hair lacks the messiness, the windswept look - And Zeus is a lot of things, but a hypocrite isn't one of them, is?

Percy dances with Annabeth, and he feels alive. Then, he is running to save the children.

He doesn't shadow travel them. Shadowtravelling with more than one person is tricky, and he still hasn't mastered not going to Wyoming.

He kills the manticore with his Warhammer, but as it crumbles to dust, Annabeth falls.

The earth trembles at his feet - but it's Thalia's hand in his shoulder that remembers him there's two kids here, and Artemis Hunt is all looking at him with varying degrees of disgust and fear.

It's nothing he is not acquainted with. For being black (and not even a normal shade of black), for his clothes, for not having a father, for having a father and it being Hades. Just now, he was being judged for being a man.

Misandry is news for him. His mother raised him to respect all genders (even when he discovered a few months ago there's more than two), that women deserve the same as men. Annabeth fights alongside him frequently enough. Clarisse wipes the floor with his ass. Katie Gardner doesn't - it doesn't make her weaker, or less deserving of respect.

He knows women have to fight for their place in society much more than he has to. He knows these women are probably traumatized by violent men and unable to fight back.

It still doesn't make it right for them to be bullies. It gives a reason, but not a justification.

And when they take Bianca Di Angelo, who has a little brother and barely has any idea of what she is doing, who was just attacked by a thing that shouldn't exist and is probably still in shock, he wants to scream.

Artemis sees something in Bianca - and he finally looks at the girl's eyes. There's a storm raging in them.

Zeus is a hypocrite, after all.

But it's not his place to say anything, nor to the children, nor against Artemis, so he just leaves the tent and goes ask the only other boy here to teach him Mythomagic.

Nico Di Angelo asks way too many questions and has an infinite source of energy. He is prideful - a trace common of all Zeus children. His eyes aren't stormy like his sisters, there aren't clouds in his irises. They are white, like his probable father's lighting bolt.

Nico asks him why he has green eyes - and why they turned black after the question. He doesn't know the answer.

Apollo appears and says something about flying in the sun car - it's the first time he and Thalia agree on something.

But calls for Blackjack. He is not flying, not even under a god's asking. Apollo understands.

Thalia goes with him. Better through shadows than through air. He doesn't want to leave Nico with the misandry archers - but he has Grover, and Percy would probably land them in Iowa.

The daughter of Poseidon holds his waist while they ride on the hellhound. He focuses the best he can - and, for the first time, he lands exactly where he wants to land: in the woods at Camp.

Thalia helps him get to the Big House under weird looks of the year-rounders. They are there at least three hours before Apollo.

"You're kinda heavy, Corpse Breath. But that was cool."

"Shut it, Kelp Head"

He is anxious to just leave and go back to his mother, but Annabeth is in danger: They need a quest.

He has dreams. He can't fault Annabeth for doing what he would've done without a second of hesitation. It's Luke.

He helps Nico settle at Cabin 11, and avoids the huntresses. Connor hugs him, and Clarisse wipes the floor with him in wrestling - they are his friends now.

Clarisse, Connor, Annabeth, Grover, Charles. Luke, Ethan, Alabaster. The scales are tipping. He doesn't care for masters - he cares who is the defending.

Artemis goes missing, and they finally get a quest. Zoe Nightshade doesn't want a boy in the quest but tough luck: He is the most experienced camper here right now AND the quest goes through a desert, so he is going.

There's some doubt about taking Thalia - she is a daughter of Poseidon and can't do much in the wasteland.

So it's decided: Phoebe, Bianca, Zoe, Perseus, and Grover. No one is happy about it, and Percy knows Thalia is going to follow them.

He introduces himself as Perseus to them. He is stoic and doesn't smile around the girls.

Capture the Flag is horrible. He doesn't leave his post and blocks Zoe with skeletons for enough time that Thalia manages to snag the flag and cross the river.

The huntresses get mad and try to fight the campers - Phoebe tries to hit Nico with the pommel of her sword and a lightning bolt hits her, putting her out of commission.

He is claimed. Bianca isn't, but it doesn't matter: She is not a camper, she is a hunter. Her loyalty is to her half-sister now.

They leave in the morning without Phoebe before anyone wakes up.

Bianca looks at him weirdly because of his soft white and blue sweaters and scrunchies that he started using to take off hair from his face, and the contrast it makes with his dark skin and demeanor.

Newsflash: He doesn't care for a prejudiced daughter of Zeus's opinion.

Zoe doesn't even look at him twice: They have trans girls in the hunt, they're caught up with modern times. Except for the misandry and the exclusion of genderfluid, agender and non-binary people. But sure, caught up.

Nico asks him to protect his sister. He says he is going to try, but he understands death better than some. He says it'll be dangerous, but he'll do his best.

For some reason, Nico doesn't look worried.

Thalia joins them in the Space museum. She came in her Pegasus, Porkpie, and they fight the Nemean Lion together. His hellhound startles the hunters, and Thalia laughs.

They kill the Nemean Lion, and Perseus thinks he finally perfects his power over the earth when he uses a stone spike to pierce the monster through the mouth and barely gets tired.

The duster is not his style, but beggars can't be choosers. Zoe is warming up to them, he thinks, but he doesn't care either way: his objective is Annabeth.

He still hasn't managed to open the ground or to control metal's proprieties, but he controls the earth beneath his feet, shadow travels (very badly controlled, but sure), raises armies of skeletons and money and gems just sprout when he wants them. He has power.

But he isn't completely in control yet, so he doesn't want anyone touching him. And it's been such a long time since anyone except his mother ever been close to any skin below his neck.

Perseus has dreams. He is grateful that Artemis took the sky for Annabeth, so he burns the coat in her name.

Thalia says she has met Apollo, and Perseus is glad at least one god is on their side.

Perseus feels in the air: life. This town is cloying with the smell of life, of forests and waterfalls. He hates it on principle but wishes she could enjoy it.

He kills a spartoi. He doesn't manage to kill more, but now he knows. He wishes he could open the ground and swallow all of them, but even his own skeletons he only manages to turn them into piles of bones.

The boar carries most of them: it's still just a boar and they are five, so both he and Thalia enjoy Blackjack, who now is almost the size of a small rhino.

Perseus meets Ares awake this time. He didn't snitch on him to the gods, but he wishes he did.

Meeting Aphrodite is awful. Percy looks at her, and he sees blonde hair that he can't decide if it's golden or brownish, he looks at her eyes and see the blue and grey fight for dominance in the irises. Her skin flicks, and he sees a scar crossing her eye.

For a moment, her skin turns as black as his - his desire for family.

He hates her more than he hates Ares when she looks at him with a smile and says that his love life will be the most interesting tale she has ever woven.

They cross the junkyard. Bianca dies for a figurine of Zeus, and Perseus wants to scream at the skies for the injustice. He isn't close to Bianca, he won't miss her, but he blames himself.

What if he was good enough at shadow traveling to take all of them away? What if he was able to kill Talos before? If he saw the figurine in her hand, if he was clearer in his warning, if, if, if.

He is a son of Hades, and death follows him. The stench of it grabs at his clothes, but he doesn't cry. Bianca is not the first to die in the name of the gods - she won't be the last one.

Perseus tries and tries to reach for any part of her body - everything is gone.

The Hoover Dam goes exactly the same way - Percy finds the mortal girl cute, but he doesn't ponder on it. It's not the time. He tells her his name is Percy, because why not. He is not seeing her again.

He laughs at the dam joke and feels a little freer. He cares about Zoe. It's difficult not to.

They fly away, and Perseus doesn't like it, but he barely flinches.

They get closer - all of them. Perseus always makes friends in quests, and he is happier for it.

Thalia catches Nereus - and she tells them all about Bessie, the ophiotaurus. Percy thinks that, for a serpent cow, it's pretty cute.

Grover leaves with it back to Camp Half-Blood and away from the temptation that Thalia feels. He knows it - he feels it too, deep inside of him, the urge to kill all of them.

But is Kronos any better?

They meet Annabeth's father. Her stepmom caught a glance at him and sneers like he is covered in blood.

Luke is in Mount Othrys. Percy doesn't join him. He wants to. The drachma is still in his pocket. But Luke needs to pay for what he has done to Annabeth. This is not about the war that looms on the horizon, this is about his best friend.

They fight. Perseus holds the sky, but the thing in his fingertips is not the earth, it's something older and harder, that presses him to his knees. He draws strength from the earth, and he holds on.

They win, but at what cost? Luke falls. He cries and throws the drachma over the cliff - a promise gone with one of his first friends.

Zoe is dead. Three people dead, for a goddess who couldn't care less about them. Perseus wants to go back in time and accept Luke's proposal.

He wants to cry and he doesn't. They go to Olympus. Thalia joins Artemis, and he feels betrayed: just because she is afraid of power, she is going to throw the weight of this prophecy on him?

And on top, she just joined the eternal misandry group, and something in his heart festers. He thought he had one more friend in her, but she was just another pawn.

Annabeth basks in her mother's praise. He wants to vomit - two people are dead, but who cares.

Thalia pleads for the ophiotaurus life, but she doesn't lift a finger when they talk about his death. He hates her. He holds a grudge for his cousin just like his father holds one for his brother.

He just saved their asses for the third time, and they're talking about murdering him because he might not save them a fourth.

The gods. They take and they take and they take and the demigods keep giving.

His father saves him - no one dares to go against Hades' vote to let him live, because he is a hero.

They go back to camp, and Perseus is charged with the task to tell Nico.

"Well, so bring her back"

The boy says it non-chanlantly like he is counting on it. Percy feels guilt creep at his heart like a plague, all the ways he failed to save Bianca. If he just had a better grasp in his powers, if he was just better. And here it was, something else he couldn't do.

"I can't, Nico"

Nico yells at him. He screams that he killed his sister. Percy starts to retract, and they end up in the pavilion. Everyone is there, and they don't lift a finger to help.

Percy is so tired. He hasn't seen his mom since October. He just lost one of his best friends. He was on a mission for a week. He held the sky in his hands. Zoe is dead. Thalia is gone. Death follows him. The guilt claws at him - for not being enough.

Nico shouts and shouts. The final straw is when he says that he shouldn't have trusted a son of Hades, how everyone told him not to. He tells no one wants him here, and before anyone can say anything to contest it, spartoi appear.

People scramble for their weapons, but Percy opens the ground and swallows all of the skeletons. When they're gone, so is Percy.

Turns out? Percy doesn't want to be here anymore either.

Nico is prideful. People in camp scrambled for his attention. A couple of kids of Aphrodite tell him that Perseus wasn't a good company, trying to get in his good graces. This time around, there's no one to sing the praises of Percy Jackson.

Grover takes him aside and explains, a little against him own will, what happened with Bianca. He gives him the figurine.

Nico feels guilty. He is too prideful to admit, but he feels it burning in his heart - so he tries to understand what he just did. Grover tells him about the last two years. The guilt now fights with admiration, and resentment battles with adoration.

Some people steer clear of him for a while. Charles Beckendorf is too kind to isolate him - but Nico sees the sadness in his eyes. Annabeth doesn't talk with him - she just lost three best friends in a swoop. Grover reluctantly tells him more about Percy. Clarisse wipes the floor with him - and he doesn't complain when he wakes up and his makeshift bed in Cabin 1 is crawling with bugs - He is pretty sure Connor hates him.

Katie Gardner doesn't talk to him anymore. Will Solace - who is his best friend - consolates him. He tells Nico he was pretty awful to Percy last summer, and Percy still came back.

Pretty awful doesn't even begin to cover what Nico did. But he nods and settles. It's going to be fine.

Perseus wanders the Underworld. He plays with Cerberus, and it's finally time to go make peace with his father and meet Persephone.

There's the heavy weight of a drachma in his pocket.

[jasonsscar]

i know that we will never get more percy jackson musicals from the original cast. or maybe ever. so, i just want to make a post about iconic moments in the books and the kinds of songs ive imagined we could’ve gotten if it happened

Sea of Monsters

Percy’s weird dream at the beginning

Tyson having a solo. I’m-

Imagine if we got a ballad for Clarisse here

Tantalus and Percy just being like “fuck you” the whole time

WHEN THEY RUN INTO THE SIREN’S. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO GOOD

Circe’s Island

Guinea pig Percy. Don’t talk to me.

If we got DOA when they entered the underworld. Imagine what we would’ve got when they entered Polyphemus’s cave.

The final song with Thalia waking up and then the song arubtly ending and that’s how the musical ends. I’m not okay.

The Titan’s Curse

PERCY AND ANNABETH DANCING TOGETHER. NO SONG BUT I M A G I N E.

Intense singing and then Annabeth is gone when they save the di Angelo kids

OKAY. NICO SINGING TO PERCY ABOUT MYTHOMAGIC CARDS. IDBKADJ

Artemis singing the rules of the hunters of artemis

Thalia and Percy fighting/singing battle

Nico making Percy promise to protect Bianca on the quest. Really good song I bet. Short. But sweet.

The entire dam sequence. Has the same vibes as “Drive”

WHEN PERCY MEETS APHRODITE. PL E A S E

The audience knows. Everyone knows he’s in love with annabeth.

Percy coming back and telling nico about Bianca. AND THEN NICO SINGS ABOUT HOW HE PROMISED AND WE GET THE SAME INSTRUMENTALS FROM WHEN HE MADE PERCY PROMISE THE FIRST TIME.

Percy and annabeth dancing at the end to a song Percy’s singing that he is always going to protect annabeth but she can’t hear him because it’s an inner monologue

The Battle of the Labyrinth

Percy going to orientation and he becomes friends with Rachel. RaCHEL WOULD HAVE THE COOLEST VOICE. YOU CANNOT CHANGE MY MIND.

WAIT. PAUL BLOFIS. MY MAN. GETTING A SOLO. SINGING ABOUT HOW HE WANTS PERCY TO DO WELL. GENUINE CONFUSION FROM WHEN HELL BREAKS LOOSE AT SCHOOL.

Annabeth singing about how she does NOT like Rachel. But in a very sarcastic way.

When they find the Labyrinth. Mini duet song from percabeth. Sbaksb.

More Tyson singing?? But like softly in the background throughout the quest

When they meet Janus that song would be so fun omg

AND THE SPHYNX TOO

When Percy sees Nico giving the dead McDonalds?? I’m sorry that would be so funny and like sad at the same time. It would be one of the best songs.

The kiss on Mt. St. Helens. Need I say more

Calypso and Percy. Calypso would have a ballad song about how she is cursed to fall in love with every hero and how they always leave. And Percy is like “damn that sucks” the whole song so it’s not even that sad but we are feeling for calypso

Percy walking in on his own funeral would be wild in a musical lmfao

Daedalus would have the COOLEST techno song?? I can’t imagine it any other way. Someone please work with me to write the music for this musical. I’m begging you.

Pan’s song would be so sad omg. I’m crying thinking about it.

At the end it’s Percy singing alone on his birthday and then Nico appears in the song and interrupts Percy. And Percy invites him in. Ugh. So good.

The Last Olympian

Rachel starts off this musical and don’t try and convince me otherwise.

DON’T TALK TO ME. CHARLES BECKENDORF BASS VOICE. I’M SCREAMING.

And it’s a GOOD song about them invading The Princess Andromeda.

But we will never see him again but he had a good run with that song

Percy learning his prophecy. Imagine the song being so chilling and serious. It sends shivers down your spine and then the song ends with Percy’s voice cutting in after a couple seconds with “what?”

May Castellan. I don’t want to talk about but you guys know what’s up.

There was originally a song that the creator of the musical talks about that he cut out where Clarisse and Selena are arguing about who’s side they would be on if there was a war. I want that vibe of that song HERE.

The River Styx. It’s so emotional about how he sees Annabeth sbaksb

When they’re in war already and Annabeth takes that stab. AM I THE ONLY ONE SEEING THIS HAPPENING?? Her laying at base and singing to Percy. AAAAA

Okay hear me out. When Selena comes in as Clarisse to fight. The original “Put You In Your Place” music comes on here. But Percy knows it’s wrong because it’s not Clarisse’s voice

Kronos’s songs would be SO badass

Percy summoning his father to join the fight

Percy summoning that HURRICANE. The amount of toilet paper this would need oml

Luke dying would be so tragic in the musical. Annabeth and Luke duet. Eugh.

Rachel becoming the new oracle.

Annabeth singing to Percy happy birthday and they get thrown in the lake but it would be different cause there is no lake. But it’s the campers singing a cute mocking song about the two lovebirds

It ends with the same vibe as “Bring on the Monsters” but we’re all crying instead because it’s over.

I KNOW I MISSED A LOT OF MOMENTS BUT IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANYMORE YOU THINK WOULD BE AWESOME PLEASE ADD THEM IN. I KNOW ITLL NEVER BE POSSIBLE BUT WE CAN DREAM!’

Masterlist: FortySevens’ Kastle WIPs

Since @ck90 keeps CALLING ME OUT because she is the most enabling of enablers, I thought it would be a fun idea to compile a complete masterlist of my upcoming WIPs for after I finish @nxbodygoesafterher’s birthday fic, And World Peace (chapter 4 coming soon).

So, here’s the rundown, in no particular order, other than this is the order that they’re in on my computer.

Also ck90, no spoilers, because I know you know a lot of what all this vague nonsense means ;-)

FortySevens’ WIP Masterlist New Orleans Bath Bombs Post DDS3, Karen flees New York because Fisk puts a shoot-to-kill order on her head, and she accidentally gets adopted by the Thieves Guild. A year later, with a little help from Leo Lieberman, she’s reunited with Frank. Also with the help of the Lieberman clan, Karen gets to help one of her friends pull his head out of his own ass.

The Fourth Of July Post TPS1 - Inspired by my sister’s dog’s reaction to the Fourth of July fireworks show on the Charles River in Boston - Right before the Fourth, Karen realizes that Frank should NOT be in NYC for the holiday and takes him out of town for a couple days.

The One With The Time Loop Inspired by @the-restless-brook’s time loop extravaganza, except this time it’s Karen who’s stuck reliving the mess at the hotel and enlists a very confused Frank and David’s help breaking the cycle.

Two Franks, One Brain Cell Post TPS2 - Frank from the future travels back in time to save Karen’s life, shenanigans ensue. Present Frank is NOT happy with any of this, and Karen knows it. (Inspired by @superrpowerlesshuman’s gif of Karen and Frank in the hospital in DDS2 and TPS2, except it was running with DDS2 Karen staring down at TPS2 Frank, and then went ahead and broke my brain thinking about how to make time travel happen).

What’s In The Folder? Post TPS1, Road Trip AU - Karen is summoned to the DA’s office for a meeting with Blake Tower, who gives her a folder with information about [REDACTED]. Karen and Frank go on a road trip to [REDACTED].

Blue (aka the one that’s @ninzied’s fault) DDS2 through TPS1 - It’s not until Karen Page locks eyes with Frank Castle in his hospital room that she realizes just how much shit she’s in. In which soulmates see in color when they lock eyes the first time.

Mud For reasons I have yet to determine, Karen gets covered in mud. It’s Matt’s fault. Karen and Frank share a shower.

The World’s Most Awkward Dinner Party The third in the series that started with I Wouldn’t Know Where To Start and There Is No Easy Way To Explain, featuring, well…the world’s most awkward dinner party. Frank agrees to it because he’s petty and it IS the cutest.

5 Times: Karen Finds Frank In Her Bed Post TPS2 - Exactly what it says on the tin. Frank sure has a weird way of apologizing…

The Underworld Fic Post TPS1 - Frank adopts a dog, but…it’s not actually a dog. Karen’s the only one who can see that though. It causes a lot of problems, and Frank insists in following Karen down to the underworld, even if she doesn’t know if she’s going to be able to get him out in the end.

Beth Quinn Takes A Vacation Post TPS2, Beth wins tickets to the Rangers/Red Wings Game 7 in New York, and while she’s in town she decides to see if she can find out if Frank is all right after all the season 2 nonsense. She goes to Karen to see if she can find him. Hilarity ensues.

Five Times Frank Brings Home Very Large Foster Dogs (And One Time He Comes Home With A Kitten) Exactly what it says on the tin.

The Big Indulgence Post TPS1 - Karen befriends Sarah Lieberman, Darcy Lewis, and Pepper Potts, in that order, and her life is turned upside down because of it. Frank starts going to group regularly and meets Bucky Barnes, and his life is also turned upside down. Featuring a couple different Marvel crossovers, a classic case of miscommunication, found families, lost families, lost AND found families, [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and [REDACTED] causing some serious problems for our heroes, and [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] in a relationship.

The Sequel To TBI Found families, weddings, Hawaiian vacations at Tony Stark’s compound, oh, and Frank Castle might actually be a little bit [REDACTED].

The Other Big Indulgence (aka The Camp Fic - inspired by my trip to California this summer for what I call Camp Week) Post TPS1 - Karen is assigned to report on a summer camp in Vermont that burned in a fire five years ago and is finally reopening at their home location. The only reason the camp is letting her come while campers are around is because she grew up there, but Karen is reluctant to go because her family history is clearly very complicated. Frank volunteers to go with her to help keep her sane. Tropes galore, including fake-to-real relationship, bed-sharing, cuddling, etc. Oh, and some WHAM.

Star Trek Discovery Season 1 AU The one in which Karen is the comms officer, Frank is the head of security, and the Discovery not-so-accidentally ends up in the MirrorVerse. It gets even more complicated from there.

So that’s what I got. Excited for any one in particular? Let me know!

Chocolate Box Letter 2020

Dear Chocolatier…

  Thank you for writing for me!  I hope you find inspiration, if you need it, somewhere in this letter, but either way, good luck with your writing!

(some of the prompts are… rambly and disjointed; the lengths vary wildly, but dw I love them all.  I hope the rambly ones still make sense; this letter is uhhh almost 3k and my brain is Tired.)

General DNWs:

Rape/non/dub-con; non-canonical major character death*; smut/graphic sex scenes; heavy angst; hurt no comfort; graphic depictions of deliberate and methodical self-harm**; graphic depictions of suicide;  gore; heavy gender dysphoria; grimdark; complete downer endings; character bashing; incest; cringe comedy; a/b/o; mpreg; full setting AUs (canon-divergence, even significant canon-divergence, is fine); graphic eye trauma; graphic and/or permanent hand trauma (unless the setting can provide a more-or-less fully functional prosthetic or equivalent); issuefic.

*exceptions noted below.

**I don’t include things like, say, punching a wall in a fit of emotion under this. however, something like cutting would not be appreciated.

  General Likes:

I like family/friendship stories, things that play with canon in interesting ways, honestly… a lot of things.  I don’t know. articulating things I like is hard.

I’m an absolute sucker for identity porn/secret/mistaken identity drama, as well as non-sexualized/non-fetishized crossdressing (either direction, and especially if for plot-relevant disguise purposes!) and if you combine them, well, I’ll be a very happy camper.

Other things I like include wriggling into canon and exploring something left unexplored by said canon, what-if stories featuring some sort of canon divergence, and plotty fic, if you want to write something long enough for that to be relevant.

  Order of fandoms:

·        Star Wars Sequel Trilogy

·        Super Powereds – Drew Hayes

·        Tortall – Tamora Pierce

·        Carmen Sandiego (Cartoon 2019)

·        The Dragon Prince (Cartoon)

·        Frozen (Disney Movies)

·        Little Women (2019)

·        Original Prompts

·        Crossovers

    Star Wars Sequel Trilogy

Rey & Ben Solo | Kylo Ren (Star Wars Sequel Trilogy)

So uh I may be having a slight case of Feels™ over these two, though tbh I’m not entirely sure what those feelings are exactly.  I don’t know what exactly I’d most want, though I’d be interested in explorations of their evolving emotions in relation to each other, especially through Kylo Ren/Ben’s whole death/rebirth thing.  What-ifs are another thing; what if, say, Ben didn’t die?  What happens, then, since they’d have to actually deal with what he’s done?  Feel free to retcon the kiss (which I thought was rather devoid of chemistry; in general their dynamic came across to me more as weirdly sibling-ish, especially after the Death Star duel) to a hug or something, if you want.

If you want to go to a lighter place, I can also see all sorts of shenanigans emerging after they discover their Force-teleportation skills.

Also feel free to retcon Rey’s parentage, if that is where your heart takes you: might she be Luke’s secret child?  Leia’s?  A descendant of Obi-Wan Kenobi and, say, Satine Kryze?

Apart from that I’d prefer no full-setting AUs; canon divergence is fine, and if you go that route you can pick a divergence point as far back as you want.

Feel free to include whatever other characters are necessary for the story you want to tell.

(And also do keep in mind that you can absolutely cut off someone’s hand here, or for the Star Wars crossover farther down; in this franchise it is a goddamn motif.)

    Super Powereds – Drew Hayes

Adam Riley & George Russel | Relentless Steel (Super Powereds)

I’m utterly fascinated by the relationship these two have; the interplay of Adam’s… vendetta, maybe?  I’m not sure what the right word for it is… and the fact that George also serves him as a mentor/almost-parental, in some ways, figure.  And, you know, that Adam (maybe) kills him.  We don’t actually see that; for all we know he made a different choice.

Consider this an exception to my “non-canonical MCD” DNW, since it’s deliberately ambiguous in canon; you can kill George, if that’s where your muse takes you.

  Alice Adair | Legacy & Vince Reynolds | Jack of All (Super Powereds)

Their friendship/cousin relationship is Wholesome and I love it.  Any point in the timeline, post-canon, all of it is Good and Welcome.  Do they form a legacy children/villains’ kids club? They’re secret cousins; untangling the mess that is the past; so much juicy juicy stuff to work with!!

  Phillip Adair | Globe & Charles Adair | Alchemist (Super Powereds)

Brother vs brother! O the drama! But also, they grew up together; they were once best friends; and Charles grew hard and it all fell apart—give me their childhood, maybe, or HCP years or young heroes before Shelby’s powers grew too much for her, or lean into the tragedy of what comes later…

    Tortall – Tamora Pierce

Numair Salmalín | Arram Draper & Varice Kingsford (Tortall)

Numair Salmalín | Arram Draper & Varice Kingsford & Ozorne Muhassin Tasikhe (Tortall)

Ozorne Muhassin Tasikhe & Numair Salmalín | Arram Draper (Tortall)

Varice Kingsford & Ozorne Muhassin Tasikhe (Tortall)

I love these kids, okay?  And I wish they could all just… be okay.  But of course they won’t be; we already know what becomes of them, after all.

There’s a lot to explore here, with these three in their varying combinations of course.  Right now I’m most interested in the pre-Wild Magic timeline—what was Varice and Ozorne’s dynamic before Arram came along? what little snippets of things happen offscreen during the timeline of Tempests and Slaughter? how does Arram gain his black robe; how does Ozorne feel about that? Varice? how does Numair end up in exile, and how do the others feel about that whole affair?—but really I’d also be interested in something set during or around the time of Emperor Mage, from any of their POVs.  We get all the story there from Daine, who is great! but she doesn’t know the history between the three of them, not intimately as they do, and I’d love any of their emotional reactions to being together again under such strained circumstances, so many years after everything fell apart.

  Numair Salmalín & Myles of Olau (Tortall)

He was on a mission, was he not, when he became that hawk at the beginning of Wild Magic?  (please ignore if I am Wrong there.)  So how did they meet?  Why did Numair become an agent?  All sorts of questions, here…

  Prince Stiloit Tasikhe & Varice Kingsford (Tortall - Pierce)

Stiloit seems so… calm, and level-headed, especially when compared with Ozorne who is not.  And he clearly finds Varice interesting, and her company valuable.  So maybe tell me something about that—what does he think of her?  She of him?  What if, perhaps, he didn’t die when he does?

  Keladry of Mindelan & Nealan of Queenscove (Tortall)

They have a BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP and also ye gods when I reread First Test at like 19 (having first read it at 10) I was struck by how very, very fifteen Neal is in that book and it’s hilarious.  But more seriously—Neal’s PoV on things would be fantastic, since we only see him through Kel’s eyes and he doesn’t let her see everything about himself.

  Keladry of Mindelan & Raoul of Goldenlake and Malorie's Peak (Tortall - Pierce)

What a beautiful mentorship relationship, I love them.  Also, how does Raoul feel about this open girl page?  Who’s so determined, and has such potential in how she could become more, in an area he knows about (that being military command)—how does he feel about her, living her best life; how does he contextualize it in his intimate knowledge that Alanna could not do what she is doing—and yet it was Alanna, with her deception, who allowed this to be.

  Alanna of Pirate's Swoop and Olau & Numair Salmalín

The renowned lady knight-healer-mage and the black robe on the run from Carthak! How did they meet, anyway?  They’re something like the same age, I think, or at least he’s no more than ten years her junior.

  Alanna of Pirate's Swoop and Olau & Thom of Trebond (Tortall - Pierce)

My poor Important Destiny Twins… Look I just, I want some content with poor Thom, right?  I’d rather here that we set the story before his death, or that we make it an AU where he gets to live.

    Carmen Sandiego (Cartoon 2019)

Shadowsan & Hideo (Carmen Sandiego 2019)

There’s… so little of this stated or shown overtly, really, but I’m fascinated.  I can’t get over it.  Just tell me about the brothers, please.

    The Dragon Prince (Cartoon)

Runaan/Ethari & Rayla (The Dragon Prince)

Family fluff!  Or angst!  Or turn round and give them a reunion!  All depends on where in the timeline you pick, really.

(there’s a fic on ao3 with the tag “this fanfiction written by the ETHARI LOOK IN THE FUCKING WATER gang” and honestly that is just such a mood.)

  Amaya & Sarai (The Dragon Prince)

…I don’t have much to say here really, just that I love me some sibling dynamics.

  Callum & Ezran (The Dragon Prince)

A king by birthright, a prince only by adoption, who by age/maturity would probably be better-suited to ruling… look idk just, bros okay???

Maybe something when they were younger, or canon-era, or… idk I love them.

  Callum & Ezran & Rayla (The Dragon Prince)

Friendship! Angst! The gang’s all here!  If you want you can include rayllum but for this prompt at least I’d rather it be lowkey.

  Claudia & Soren (The Dragon Prince)

I am heartbroken over these kids and just—I need more content with them.  Even if it makes me sad.

  Callum & King Harrow (The Dragon Prince)

There are a lot of complicated feelings I have about them—how clearly Harrow loves his stepson, and how even after more than a decade, Callum still isn’t quite comfortable with his stepfather.

    Frozen (Disney Movies)

Agnarr/Iduna (Frozen)

How did they get together?  Why does Iduna stay with Agnarr; why doesn’t she just go home?  How does that revelation conversation go—when does it happen?  How do they come to decide to block Elsa’s powers; when/how do they decide to sail for Ahtohallan?

  Kristoff & Ryder Nattura (Frozen)

Reindeer bros!!  What did Kristoff do while Anna and Elsa were off doing the plot stuff?  Does he go with the Northuldra?  I love the dynamic between these two; it’s adorable and there’s so painfully little of it.

  Yelena & Mattias (Frozen)

So clearly they know each other, right? It’s been thirty-four years, and they clearly have some sort of sniping thing going on but they don’t seem to be actively antagonistic towards each other.  How do they feel about each other, really? How have they interacted in the past?  Is there anything there?  What about after Mattias goes back to Arendelle?

  Anna & Elsa (Frozen)

There is just.  There’s a profound tragedy here—they’re best of friends till they’re five and eight or so, then they don’t interact for thirteen years, they have three years together, and then they go off together to the Enchanted Forest and Elsa doesn’t come back to live in Arendelle, while Anna must return… I don’t know.  Tell me about that, maybe.  Or give me sweet fluff about them as children.  Or something.

  Anna/Kristoff (Frozen)

They’re adorable and I love them and I really just want more.  Maybe something from between the movies—how do they navigate forming a relationship, when he was raised by trolls and she’s been so isolated?

    Little Women (2019)

Amy March/Theodore Laurence (Little Women 2019)

…I don’t know, they’re cute, Laurie is a disaster, I love seeing Amy grow up, I hunger for moar content with them.

  Beth March & Mr. Laurence (Little Women 2019)

This has a lot of potential for cute/sad father/daughter dynamics, I think!  And I’d love more of it.

  Friedrich Bhaer & Josephine March (Little Women 2019)

Friedrich Bhaer/Josephine March (Little Women 2019)

I just want cute content with Jo and her dynamic with this man who actually respects her and her writing okay?  Maybe something like, I don’t know, navigation of boundaries around Jo’s writing and his criticism thereof… I don’t know.  Have fun with them.  And I really don’t care if it’s shipfic or not.

  Theodore "Laurie" Laurence & Josephine March (Little Women 2019)

Theodore Laurence & Josephine March (Little Women 2019)

Laurie is still a disaster but I love him anyway, and their friendship is sweet, and I need more content™.

    Original Prompts

In general: I’m not super picky about how shippy the shipfic gets; most of the ship prompts here would, I think, work as well for gen, excepting the suitor and the princess (which is not to say I’m asking that it be gen, obviously I’m not, but if your muse takes you that direction then go for it).  Likes I put up top still apply down here.

In terms of settings, I especially like high fantasy, space fantasy, or, if relevant, Classic Superhero City Setting, but I’m open to just about anything.

I’m also not tremendously picky about the genders of the characters involved; if it isn’t stated within the prompt, go wild, but please do stick to standard English pronouns; I have a lot of difficulty reading things with neopronouns.

Most of these pairings are prompts in and of themselves, but I’ll add in some bits of commentary for each one.

  Disgraced Vampire Queen Moonlighting As A Barista/Exhausted Vampire Hunter In Search Of Caffeine

Okay, so I just think this has great potential for absolute hilarity, and identity shenanigans aplenty.

  Dragon & Human Child (Original Work)

I love dragons.  I love playing with dragon-lore, though here I’d appreciate it being a relationship wherein the dragon is not evil, at least not to the child.

  Female Crossdressing General/Female Crossdressing Enemy General (Original Work)

So uh from my general likes, it should be… fairly obvious what called to me here lmao.  But there’s such potential here!  The drama!  Do they know each others’ real gender?  Do they know that they’re on opposing sides?  How does this romance across the battlefield work?  Is it even across the battlefield—are they at war, or just generally enemies?

  Female Failed Chosen One & Female New Chosen One

Such delicious depths to delve here… why did the first one fail?  What’s her relationship with her successor?  What have they been chosen for?  The setup of this makes me think that the failed chosen one is an adult of some age that’s distinctly older than the new one, who I’ve been imagining as an older child or young adult, but you should follow your muse there.

  Female Ship's Captain & Grumpy Stowaway Orphan Rebel

What kind of ship are they on, anyway?  Sailing ship?  Spaceship?  What’s the orphan rebelling against—an Evil Empire?  The Man?  Something else?

  Female Suitor Sent As An Insult To Ruling Monarchs/Princess Uninterested In Male Suitors

This seems like… I don’t know, there’s just such potential for dancing around each other and Misunderstandings™ about what’s going on.  Is this the princess’s Gay Awakening?  Has she known for a while why she’s not into the male suitors?  Why was this female suitor selected for the insult?

  Injured Male Superhero/Male Supervillain Who Saves His Life

I love superhero identity shenanigans, and ambiguous morals, and I’d love to dive into the emotional turmoil that results from this rescue decision—why does the supervillain do it?  How does the hero feel about being saved by his enemy?

  Musician/Dancer with magical powers (Original Work)

Another trope I love that I didn’t mention before is magic music and magical arts in general, so this here is right up my alley.

  Portal Fantasy Protagonist & Their Mentor In A Trade Useful In Both Worlds (Original Work)

…Look, idk man this is just sweet and wholesome and I Want.

  Retired Male Superhero/Male Supervillain Who Keeps Seeking Him Out Because He Misses Him

Is this not just the plot of Megamind?  In all seriousness, though, I feel about the same here as I do in the injury situation; I love me some hero/villain dynamics in general.

  Witch & Witch's Apprentice

Mentor and student!  Always a fun time.  I’m picturing this as some pseudo-historical or straight alternate-world setting more than modern, but follow your muse here.

  Wounded Werewolf/Female Apprentice Witch who Begrudgingly Rescues him (OW)

Honestly I feel like the dynamic here will probably scratch the same itch that the hero/villain pairings do.  Clearly I have a Type.

    Crossovers

Oliver Queen (DC's Arrowverse) & Matt Murdock (Daredevil(TV))

Local Vigilante Man With Many Issues Meets Counterpart From Another Universe would be the headline here, probably.  I don’t know.  I think they’d be fun to bounce off each other.

For reference though I haven’t watched all of either show: I’ve seen the first four seasons of Arrow in their entirety and some of what comes later, and I’ve seen the first two seasons of Daredevil.  You can reference later events, I’m not currently really following either show and am not particularly worried about spoilers, but without some degree of context I’ll be fairly lost.

  Shmi Skywalker (SWPT) & Ben Solo | Kylo Ren (SWST)

How do these two meet?  Is it time travel nonsense?  Shmi as a Force ghost?  Both of them in the afterlife?  And if it’s before Ben’s redemption but after his Fall, I do rather hope she’s Disappointed™ in him.

  Vince Reynolds | Jack of All (Super Powereds) & Midoriya Izuku (My Hero Academia)

Look.  Look.  All I have ever wanted since I started watching My Hero Academia (which… I haven’t seen much of, but don’t worry about spoilers I legitimately do not care) is to see Vince meet with the character who I immediately internally dubbed tiny green Vince.  How did this happen? Frankly I neither know nor care.  I just want to see it happen.

Thank you for writing me fic!!

Here's a few pairings. Bianca/Thalia/Annabeth, Bianca/Percy/Nico, Bianca/Silena, Bianca/Thalia/Zoe, Bianca/Jason. Thoughts?

Bianca/Thalia/Annabeth (Thaliancabeth) : Ohhhhh that's nice. If Annabeth had become a huntress this three would spend time together as the "new recruits" : Thalia and Annabeth could teach Bianca how to use her powers, they'd do archery contests, games strategy planning (and surprisingly, Bianca is really good at it)... And maybe, I like to imagine, that with Bianca, Annabeth and Thalia could finally reform their little family. Yes there'd still be the other hunters, Annabeth's siblings, Jason (later on) and of course Nico, but they'd have a lovely particular bond, one that could certainly make them leave the hunt one day, to be together like they want to be.

Bianca/Percy/Nico (Biancyco, Percica) : An AU where Percy, after many years of hesitation would finally say "screw it ! I love both of the Hades' children, I'll be with both of the Hades' children !" It would be an euphemism to say that Hades isn't very happy about it. But he wouldn't be able to do anything against it. That's a cool ship, but I'm not a big fan, but the Hades' salt potential is HIGH and FUN.

Bianca/Silena (Silianca, Silenca) : That's nice, really nice. If Bianca had survived and lived in Camp Half-blood they could have become friends, grow closer through the war. Bianca would need someone to help her and her brother with their powers, and Silena seems like the best candidate to motivate her : she clearly is one of the nicest and sweetest campers, she's not her cabin counselor for nothing. Maybe Silena and Charles would still be a thing and Bianca would be the one here to support Silena with Clarisse after his death (and now that I think about it, Bianca/Silena/Clarisse sounds really great too). And I like to imagine Clarisse and Nico helping them to accept and confess their feelings.

Bianca/Thalia/Zoe (Biancalioe, Thaliancoe) : I can't remember where but I'm sure I've already told how cool this ship is : the different combination of hunters are all great, this one is one of the best. Don't have a lot more to say, they would be powerfully cool and lovely.

Bianca/Jason (Biancason, Jasanca) : Told it here, that's awesome and it inspires me a lot for AU.

Great ships here anon, my favorites are Bianca/Jason and Bianca/Silena. Shipping Bianca is really fun, cause she has just enough development to still be pretty easily written by others without risking to be too OOC. And her personality is a perfect mix between sweetness and flaws, I like her and her ships are some of the cutest I have.

Walking avengers 18

Sorry its taken so long, decided to split this chapter as I'm struggling with the next bit!! Hope you all enjoy!

Colossus’s group was not what Sam expected at all, despite the various hints about their group, Sam was still surprised when Thor and he were introduced to them.

In front of them, crowded inside a small living room; wooden beam supports are placed here and there, most furniture sees to of been moved out of the room to leave space for bedding on one side. Windows boarded up and heavy fabrics cover them to make sure no light escapes, alerting the dead that the are there. Nearer the door to the left is supplies and bags piled up, easy and quick to grab in a hurry, the only bit of furniture left in the room is the sofa, cushions dark with dirt and tears here and there from weapons nicking them.

Sat on the sofa currently, is an old man; bold and in what looks to be washed out faded jeans and a plaid shirt. The man looks to be in his 50s at least, his eyes watch the new arrivals calmly and with a soft welcoming look framed by laugh lines and crows feet by the eyes.

Besides him, eating out of a metal container, is an elderly old, blind women, her dark skin has laugh lines and crows feet same as the man besides her. She’s wearing a tatty purple jumper that has obviously seen better days, she wears dark soft looking joggers.

The last one on the sofa is a young adult Indian man, he seems to be trying to clean a gun, following Logan’s direction who sat on the floor with Negasonic and another male. The last guy has light brown hair that would probably look blonde in the summer sun, his face is what most would consider handsome, the kind of face that would have been popular in school.

“Hello everyone, I hope Logan told you about the group we met? This is two of the members, Sam and Thor. They have come to see us and take us to their base if they are happy with our group” Colossus introduced Sam and Thor to the group had now turned to give the their full attention.

“Welcome Sam” the old man nodded at him as he greeted him before turning to Thor and nods at him as well, “Thor, I am Charles Xavier. This lovely lady besides me is Al and on the end is Dophinder. On the floor here is Negasonic who I’m sure you have already met, Logan and this is Johnny. We call him Pyro”

Smiling serenely, Charles whole personality seems to bleed safe and gentle. Sam can feel all tension leaving his bones as he looks at the elder man, muscles he didn’t realise were tense are now relaxing.

It’s Thor who nods back at him with a smile of his own, “aye, nice to meet you all though wish it was under better circumstances.”

“It is a shame indeed”

Heaving a sigh, Sam approaches forward a bit into the crowded room, eyes trailing over each person as he silently evaluates them all.

“We would like to invite you all to live in the same camp as us, work with us against our shared enemy. They took one of our people recently which is how we met some of you”

“Logan told us what happened, I’m sorry this has happened to your group. We would all like to extend our help to your group in defending against Francis and get your friend back”

Charles voice is calm and soothing as he speaks, yet firm and with utter confidence; Sam is positive that Charles could speak with such conviction that Sam could take on an entire hoard with one dagger.

The blind lady, introduced as Al puts her food container down finally and licks her lips, trying to gather the last of the beans sauce.

“Is the place where your group is stationed safe? What is your group like? I don’t want to move to a place easily invaded sweetie”

Sam could understand her concern, that’s why they have people seeing each group, to see them for themselves without having everyone in potential danger. Thankfully its Yukio who speaks up as she packs away some of their supplies, an opinion they would trust.

“It’s a big place, lots of rooms to booby trap and hide in if we get attacked. The group themselves are nice” she smiles sweetly as she presses a quick kiss to Negasonic’s lips as she passes her. “I’d say we would be safe there with them”

“Aye, the Avengers are a strong group, joining together we would be stronger. We have vehicles outside to move you all back to our place tonight if you wish to join us?”

Extending the offer, Thor looks between each person but settles his gaze on Charles, sensing that the elder man is the one that calls the shots here. Thor’s heightened senses can tell that Charles is a Sun, his calming aura only evidence of a lifetime using it to his advantage to influence situations and keeping everyone level headed. Even Thor can feel the effects and all tension bleed out from him, yet he knew nothing bad would happen to him not Sam here, that Charles was most likely trying to avoid any conflict or simply does this without realising now.

“I’m sure we would all love to join your group” Charles addresses his group asking for their vote; unsurprisingly they all voted in favour of going.

Sam and Thor helped the group pack up for the journey, helping Charles get his battered wheelchair loaded up while Logan carried him. Logan seemed particularly protective of Charles Sam noted, nearly always hovering nearby Charles when he could and being the one to help him when Charles asks for help.

Dophinder seemed to be the one in charge of watching Al as he helped her into the camper with the others. Most bags being thrown into the back of the truck so that everyone could fit into the camper.

The ride back was slow but silent, not wanting to attract any Deado’s as they made their way through the streets, they were also on high alert for any ambushes from Francis’s group. Weapons gripped tightly and senses dialed to 11. The hooting of an owl making them all jump at one point.

Sam was never so happy before in his life to see the drive and gates that lead to the mansion, drawing close to the gates, he pulled to a stop letting Thor off to open the gates.

Quick as he can, Thor makes his way to the gates, glancing around to make sure no one is hiding close by when his foot kicks something on the ground. Pausing and looking down to see what it was he kicked, Thor sees a small black walkie talkie. Taped to the front is some writing that he can’t make out in the dark, bending to retrieve it Thor realises it says Stark on the taped on bit of paper.

Feeling a sliver of unease go down his spine, Thor hurriedly pocketed the device and got the gates open as fast as he could, standing to the side to let Sam through before locking them up tightly again.

Getting back into the truck, Sam gives him a concerned look as he drives up to the mansion.

“What was that you picked up outside the gates Thor?”

Silently, Thor took out the device and passed it over once they pulled to a stop. Sam’s sharp intake of breath told Thor that Sam must have had a similar feeling as he did. Whatever is on the other side of this device, could not surely be anything good. Thor dreaded handing it over to Tony once inside.

Again, they all worked together to get everyone inside, Loki and Bucky coming out to help as they had been watching through the windows, awaiting their arrival. Once inside, everyone seemed to let out a collective sigh of relief, no longer a moving target out in the open.

Locking the door and casting a few wards and alarms on the door, Loki glances at the new group with an analytical gaze, storing away any tidbits of information he notices. Bucky seems to be doing the same to his side, the winter soldier training in him doing it practically on autopilot. Bucky may hate the years in Hydras grasp and he may despise what they did to him and made him do, but he cannot deny that the skills he picked up and honed has helped him survive this hell so far.

“Thanks for the help getting inside man” Sam nods at Bucky patting his shoulder as he passes him. “do you know which rooms are set up for these guys?”

“Me and Natasha set up the wing opposite ours, for everyone’s comfort both groups have a distance from each other, while still maintaining a sense of closeness and safety” Loki draws as he walks around the group, heading for the stairs leading up to the upper levels.

“Thank you for the consideration” Charles smiles softly at them all, still held in Logan’s arms, wheelchair being carried in Logan’s other hand.

Tipping his head politely, Loki calls for Thor to help the group carry everything upstairs to show the group to their rooms, allowing them to finally get settled in for the night. Bucky watches the weary and tired group trudge up the stairs, obviously exhausted from running all the time; looking themselves for much more permanent homes to dig in roots again.

Groaning, Bucky cracks his neck and rubs at the sore muscles, turning to Sam to bid him goodnight, just wanting to go to bed and drag Tony finally away from his project frenzy with Bruce. He pauses when he sees the worried look on Sam’s face, biting his bottom lip as he plays with something in his pocket.

“What’s wrong Wilson?”

Jumping at being caught, Sam glances at Bucky quickly before diverting his eyes to his own pocket again. With a heavy sigh, Sam pulls out the device he still had on him.

“Thor found this outside the gates when we came back… “

Handing the device over, Sam sees how Bucky’s eyes are immediately drawn to the tag with Tony’s name on it. The hand writing unfamiliar to him but Bucky is 99% positive Francis is involved with this thing.

“Do you think this has something to do with Francis?” Sam wondered quietly, his voice barely above a whisper in the suddenly vast entrance hallway.

“Undoubtedly” Bucky pursed his lips in irritation. Its way to late to deal with this but again, it could be something they will want to deal with sooner rather than later. If this has something to do with Steve, they will want to know tonight.

“I’ll go get Tony, Bruce, Nat and Clint if he’s up. You go see if Loki, Thor and whoever from the other group wants to join us. Meet you in the sun room down here in 20 minutes?”

“Sure thing”

Agreeing with a Bucky’s orders, Sam sets off up the stairs first. Leaving Bucky rubbing at his face in sudden bone deep exhaustion. If they didn’t have the undead to worry about, this wouldn’t have been as difficult, plans much more easily planned and the government on their side. As it is, they have so many things running against them, that what would normally probably be an easy rescue mission; was now mission impossible.

He can guess that the opponent is bombarding them with all this, to make them sloppy, rash in their decisions and easier to take down.

It’s how the winter soldier would of gone about something like this.

It’s nearly 30 minutes later when Bucky could pry Tony and Bruce from tinkering with the spare tech, meeting Sam downstairs with the Asgardian brothers, Colossus, Logan, Pyro and Charles. The rest must be settling down for the night, Nat offering to watch over the kids as well we Clint incase of any issues.

As Bucky glanced one person to the next, he noticed the increasing tiredness everyone was showing. Even Thor and Loki looked drained and weary from the last few days, the emotional roller coasters they have all been on. Hell he didn’t know what the new comers have been facing, but he has no doubt that they had similar soul draining days and encounters.

Once all seated, Bucky stood up to draw everyone’s attention.

“I know it’s late, and we all would rather be in bed right now; resting after such a busy day. However something has come up. Something we all need to talk and be present for, Sam show them what you found”

Sighing heavily, Sam holds the walkie-talkie; which Bucky had given him back once Sam had come back down with the others. Everyone’s eyes are immediately drawn to the name taped onto the front, then almost as one, they all turn to look at Tony who pales a bit. Eyes trained on the device.

Bucky takes up talking again as he takes a seat by Tony’s side, pressed tightly against him to offer comfort.

“They found this outside the gates on the way back home, it’s obvious that it’s Francis playing with us. We wanted to have everyone vote on calling now or waiting, find our what everyone thought as if we turn this on, there will most likely only be stress waiting for us on the other end.”

Taking calming breathes, absorbing the comforting smell and presence from the Dom at his side, Tony clasps the device in his hands resting in his lap. Tony is going mad being in this place, no suit to fly to bust Steve out from where ever he’s being held. So many times Steve has helped him on this journey and protected him and Peter, Tony hates the feeling of helplessness that he is experiencing right now.

“We should turn it on, the longer we take to answer the worse things could be getting for Steve and whoever else they have taken. The world may have gone to shit, but we are all still the Super Hero’s that once protected the world. We can’t let this Francis intimidate us, not now.”

Determined, Tony looks around at the others for their opinions, though he is pleased when he gets looks of agreement in return.

“This call will no doubt be staged to be as stressful as possible, aimed to push you into making rash decisions Tony. You must make sure you keep a calm head as much as possible, understood?” Charles chimes in, his soothing voice firm in a way most parental people somehow manage to have. The advice and support of the fellow Sub, strengthens Tony’s resolve to try and beat Francis at his own game. Simply having everyone there for support was helping him keep himself calm as possible.

“I’ll try as best as I can, Bucky I want you to intervene if you think I’m making bad calls OK?”

“no problem doll-“

“Are we sure it’s OK for Tony to call? You all had an emotional day, perhaps we can contact on your behalf?”

Concerned, Colossus speaks up. His face drawn into an uncomfortable frown, everyone pretty quickly got the impression that the big guy was very protective of every one around him; be it sub, dom or switch. Because of this, Tony found he felt no offense at Colossus’s concern for him, it came from genuine concern and not a sexiest view that he wouldn’t be able to handle this. The action reminded him briefly of how Steve is.

“Don’t worry wrecking ball, I’m OK to do this, I have you all here to help me or take over if I can’t handle it OK?”

Nodding, though still tense, Colossus sits back to listen. Bucky gives Tony’s shoulder a quick squeeze for courage and support, muscles tense with the impulse to steal the device and rip Francis a new one. Bucky was not looking forward to this conversation.

Taking a deep breath, Tony brings the device up closer to be able to speak into it, clicking a button to turn it on. Static crackles through the air.

“Hello? Can anyone hear me? This is Tony Stark. You left this outside our gates” Taking his finger off the button, Tony listens for any reply. Static seems to fill the room as every one holds their breathe in union.

It almost makes them all jump when they get a reply.
