As a Cinderella Boy reader and fast-passer Idk where else to put this but I have THOUGHTS okay. Fast-pass episode 58 spoilers below the cut (obviously)

OKAY SO, “STILL WATERS PT.2” WAS PAINFUL, but I have thoughts. Not great thoughts cuz season finale be upon thee, but thoughts that need out! Chase has mentioned several times in previous chapters that he dislikes boats. Deacon laughs it off and says it’s just cuz he gets seasick, but he didn’t seem so seasick on the little ferry that rode calmly on a quaint lake.

Chase ALSO didn’t want to do the book where their ship wrecks and he and Deacon would get stranded on an island until Deacon said they’d use the bookmark trick and just chill on the beach.

He claims he doesn’t like water when Buddy tossed him in the ocean as revenge for a beach ball to the face (LOL) but he didn’t mind it all that much because it was shallow water. He DID NOT want to go in Deacon’s Ship books because storms are in the name and the water would likely be rough and deep and dangerous.

Now water is seeping in from everywhere and filling up the book and Chase is panicking about being stuck in a book with sudden rising water.

Do you see where I’m going here???

Guys. GUYS. I don’t think our boy can swim.

Favorite and least favorite activities, if you’re willing to share?

Also, did you learn anything about what’s going on with the new guy down the hall? Sure, you were supposed to stay out of it, but you’ve got to at least be a little curious, right?

LEO: *quiet guilty thoughts because he can't ask about if Loki is like Loki in the movies* *pretending to know anything about Norse mythology*

MAGNUS: *overthinking about Uncle Randolf and the Loki symbols* *forgetting that Norse demigods aren't the only demigods bc they still haven't talked about his Greek cousin*

Souls of Sea and Storm Chapter 4 is up!

Preview:

Percy’s nerves were on high alert as Piper, in her stolen uniform led them down the path. They all knew the way as Nico and Piper had spent the past few days slipping in and out of Grace Manor without so much as breaking a sweat. It was shockingly easy and that in itself was concerning. The Grace's wealth was no secret and the Manor reflected that. A place that rich, with that many shiny things should’ve been harder to crack. It made Percy wonder what would happen when someone with far less noble intentions gave it a go. Well, not to say his intentions were noble; he was no saint, but he wasn’t there to harm. He only needed one thing and so far things were going according to plan, well… almost.

Chapter 4

December 21, 2023

Annabeth took a deep breath as she put her coat on. She was honestly tired of feeling so anxious, and it had been only 24 hours since she’d arrived in her hometown. God, she missed when being around Percy was what calmed her down instead of making her freak out.

“You’re going out?” Her dad passed by the door, carrying some books that had been left out of place last night, and noticed her. He looked surprised.

“Oh, I’m just going to go bring my car back from Percy’s.”

He just nodded and continued on his way.

It was ridiculous, but as Annabeth opened the door and felt the cold wind on her face, she felt her eyes start to tear up. She would never admit it out loud, but she just wished he… cared. Growing up, she had convinced herself that she liked not having so much attention on her, that she was fine spending her time with her books, figuring things out alone in her room. But, really, she wasn’t.

There was a brief period, just when she was entering her teenage years, when he’d tried to get closer to her. He would come to her room and ask her about what she was reading, and they would talk about it. He would bring her a book from his office or from the bookstore, and they would discuss it together.

However, as her brothers started to demand more of his attention again, all of that faded. As a result, she spent more and more time in her room or at Percy’s house. When they’d started dating, her father and his wife didn’t even seem to notice until the day she didn’t come home and woke up in Percy’s bed with 10 missed calls from them. When she got home, she expected to be grounded for a month. She waited for her father to say she wasn’t allowed to spend the night there ever again, or at least not for the next month. All she got was a five-minute conversation about how she couldn’t disappear like that without letting them know where she was, along with a brief “please make sure you use protection” lecture from her stepmother.

Maybe she should be glad she had parents who let her do her own thing and didn’t mind her being alone with her boyfriend at 16 or ask her a million questions every time she went out. Maybe this was every other teenager’s dream. Not hers, though. Her dad wasn’t all bad, but she just really, really wished that he cared more. That he’d been more present and even a bit more controlling at times. She had always felt like an outsider, a third wheel at home (or fifth, for that matter). They were always so practical, so cold toward her. And she desperately craved more warmth.

So, yeah, it was probably silly that, while she walked to Percy’s house, in all her 24-year-old glory, she felt a tear streaming down her cheek—or maybe two. But she couldn’t help it.

She exhaled and rubbed her cheeks, trying to pull herself together as she stopped at his door. She stared at its recent dark blue paint for a few seconds. Being here brought her a sense of safety and familiarity that nowhere else did. She could almost smell Sally’s cookies from there, though she wasn’t sure if it was a real sensation or just a memory.

She finally evened her breath, gathered courage, and knocked. A few moments passed before the door opened to reveal Sally Jackson, her cooking apron filled with blue stains, and a not-so-little-anymore girl hiding behind her.

“Annabeth!” Sally sounded surprised, but her smile was as welcoming as ever.

chapter 3! *does a cartwheel off a cliff*

Chasing chapter three - Captain

Hers would be the first Hogwarts Quidditch team assembled in two years, riding the legacy of the last inter-house clean sweep under a Captain with the same surname. The cup in Gryffindor’s trophy case drew small crowds between lessons, bearing the name of its last champion— the most famous wizard in Europe, the one who’d captained his team to victory and moved right on to saving the world.

Potions and penalties.

Thanks to those who've let me know you were looking forward to this chapter! Weather's getting cold enough for Quidditch and Hogsmeade; stay tuned for chapter 4...

So today I was watching "Sea Patrol: Pups Save Puplantis". For clarification it is chapter 26 season 4.

So I remembered that when I came out and and I saw it for the first time it was very good because everyone goes and has fun with the mer-pups, but then Sid's ship appears, and Chase who was excited to go and become a mer-pup with everyone else but when he saw the ship he better stayed to help.

And then again he stayed to help they all went in submarine subpatroller? it is i think but chase stayed and he didn't go in the submarine even though he really wanted to go.

And Chase found Sid's submarine who is sinking for so many pearls because they stole the oyster from puptlantis.

And Chase takes out all the things of Sid's boat, and the mer-pup transforms Chase into a mer-pup

just look at him, he was so excited that finally was a merpup

And he saved the puptlantis oyster, and Chase was also able to have fun being a merpup. I love him.

And out of this chapter came an idea about 4 years ago, which was weird, kind of bloody, and I don't really remember much about it, maybe later I'll do a post specifically about that idea.

[koalas-koalas-everywhere]

Anyone waiting for WLWAAOD (which I've recently realized I've been naming wrong, as the quote's supposed to be "when love became an act of defiance", and that's the name of the actual file, which I'm gonna have to rename since the tagging system with wlwaaod is much more extensive), I'm sorry to say this scene has been holding me hostage for almost two months.

CHAPTER 4 IS OUT NOW!

Excerpt:

“A little birdie told me that your couch-surfing friend is signing up for the academy,” said Bobby. Tommy grinned. “He is,” said Tommy excitedly, “I’m really proud of him. You should see him preparing. He’s read the entire manual twice. He can recite random laws. It’s – actually a little scary how much he knows now, but I’m more impressed than anything?” “That’s great. I know he’s been coming here for lunches and dinners – ” said Bobby and Tommy’s heart sank a bit. “He’s not a problem. I swear. He’s been the perfect guest every time he visits,” Tommy babbled, and – and Bobby was gesturing for him to stop. “Hey. It’s okay. I like him around. He’s a good sous chef,” said Bobby. “He is a great cook,” said Tommy. “I’m glad you’re helping him out. I’ll be keeping an eye on his progress in the academy,” said Bobby, “I hope that’s okay.”

Chasing Fires

This fic is based on this idea originally thought up by @kinardsboy in this post and expanded on in this post I made a few days back. I hope you enjoy this different first meeting AU between a younger Tommy and a younger Evan! 🥰

Chasing Fires

| Pairing: BuckTommy | Rated: M | WC: 21.1K | Chapters: 4/11 |

Summary: 24-year-old Tommy Kinard meets 19-year-old Evan Buckley as Evan tries to steal food at a grocery store. Tommy decides to let Evan crash at his place until Evan figures out what his next steps are, giving Evan the same help someone had given Tommy when he had been kicked out of his house years ago.

Excerpt:

Usually, when Tommy saw someone stealing food, his rule of thumb was no, you didn’t. Tommy had been that kid before. He wasn’t going to make someone’s life infinitely worse due to their own desperation. And this wasn’t Tommy exactly calling the kid out. But. He really was not going to fit that giant bag of chips into his sweatshirt in a way that was going to conceal it. And as Tommy watched the guy struggling to shove the party size bag of Lays Classic of all things into one of his sweatshirt pockets, Tommy couldn’t help but say, “Ramen.” "Ramen?" ... “Easier to hide,” offered Tommy as he remembered when he was about as desperate as this guy must be now, “Full meal too.”
