Hi! Idk if you’re still doing the 250 followers event (congrats btw ;D), but I’d like to request a wildflower for a daughter Hermes x drew Tanaka or a daughter of Tyche x Luke Castellan (idk what’s your opinion of him, and I saw no mention, so yeah…). Have an enjoyable day!

drew tanaka my fav bitch this is the first x female character I think I've ever gotten <3 also luke is me and me is luke if we're being honest I would've joined him in like four seconds and I'm not even a simp

-you guys watch trashy movies together. she's a chronic end of movie crier and you've been sworn to secrecy.

-Drew would be so fucking done with you sometimes. the Hermes kid habit of doing dumb shit just makes her roll her eyes at you. and then you grin at her and then she's grinning too. she finds it very annoying.

-what is not annoying, though, is when you just happen to slip her favourite lipgloss into the pocket of the jacket you borrowed [stole] from her when walking through the store. you're just such a good girlfriend. and it never goes on sale.

-you help her untangle her hair from her big hoop earrings.

-the spinny chair by her vanity is yours now. you love watching her do her make up. and then ruining her lipstick, of course.

-Connor and Travis planned to give her a 'if you hurt our sister they'll never find the body' talk but they chickened out when she glared at them.

-she's always invited over for game night. and wins celebrity heads every time.

tough love! leo valdez ೃ࿔*:

leo valdez x fem!aphrodite!reader (platonic drew tanaka x fem!aphrodite!reader)

“no chance i waste my twenties on random men / not one of them is smarter than all my friends / and i hate to leave him bleedin' / but i know now what i'm leavin' for”

‘the secret of us’ m. list

song: tough love – gracie abrams

You’d been back at Camp Half-Blood for a few weeks now, but it still stung. Leo.

You hadn’t expected to feel anything after the breakup, but now, sitting at the edge of the Aphrodite cabin with the warm night breeze brushing your hair, you couldn’t help but think of him. His goofy grin, his messy hair, the way he always knew how to make you laugh when things were hard.

But now, it felt like you were looking at someone you barely recognized.

It wasn’t that you hadn’t known it was coming. You’d seen the cracks for a while—Leo’s endless charm, his inability to stick with anything serious, and the way he treated relationships like they were just something to pass the time until the next big adventure came along.

You tried to ignore it, tried to make it work, but in the end, you couldn’t change who he was.

And now, you were sitting in the cabin, surrounded by the girls who had always known you, who didn’t need explanations when you were down.

Drew noticed first, perching herself on the arm of the couch next to you, her sharp eyes studying you.

“Alright, spill. What’s going on?” Drew asked, her tone half-amused, half-concerned. “You’ve been quiet lately, and you know we don’t do quiet.”

You took a deep breath and set your glass down on the table. “It’s Leo,” you muttered. “I guess I’ve been thinking about it more than I should.”

Drew raised an eyebrow. “You mean the guy you left? The guy who made you feel like an afterthought while he chased the next big thrill?” Her voice was light, but there was an edge to it.

You gave a short laugh, shaking your head. “Yeah, I guess that’s the one.” You shifted uncomfortably, pulling your knees to your chest. “I thought I’d be fine, you know? I thought I’d be happy the second I got away from him. But… now, I don’t know. I hate feeling like this.”

“I get it,” Drew said softly, sitting down beside you. “It sucks when it’s someone you cared about, and it feels like it ended before it even started. But I’m telling you—you’re better off. You know this wasn’t meant to last.”

“I know,” you sighed, looking out at the moonlit camp. “It’s just… I thought it would feel different. When I left him, it felt like a joke. Like it didn’t matter. But now… it’s like there’s this gap inside me. And every time I see him—” You stopped yourself, clenching your fists. “I know it’s over, but… I don’t know. Does he miss us? Does he even think about what we had?”

Drew studied you for a moment, then leaned back on the couch, arms crossed. “Sweetheart, do you really think he does? Because I can tell you something—I know Leo. And he doesn’t do the long-term thing. He’s not built for it. And he’s definitely not someone who’ll sit around and regret it, no matter how much you might.”

You felt a strange mix of frustration and relief at Drew’s words.

She was right. It had always been casual for him, always about the next thrill, the next fix. You had put your heart into something that was never meant to be stable.

“Yeah… I guess I just wanted him to care,” you muttered.

“Well, now you know what you don’t need,” Drew replied, her voice soft but firm. “You don’t need anyone who doesn’t see you for everything you are. You don’t need someone who doesn’t give you the respect you deserve. And you sure as hell don’t need someone who can’t handle the truth about love. That’s tough love right there.”

You glanced over at her. “It doesn’t feel like love.”

“It’s because it isn’t,” Drew said with a slight smile. “It’s something else. Something temporary. And you, babe, you’re not here for temporary.”

You leaned back against the couch, trying to calm the ache that had settled in your chest.

Leo had always been impulsive, the type to dive into things headfirst and then bail when it got too real. That was never your style.

It wasn’t even just the breakup. It was all the things you had tried to ignore—the way he made you feel like you were always second to whatever or whoever he was chasing.

You didn’t need to waste time on someone like that. Not when you had a whole future ahead of you, full of people who would value you. And the ones who truly loved you, like Drew, who would tell you the hard truths even when it hurt.

“Okay,” you said, straightening up and taking a deep breath. “I’m done feeling sorry for myself. You’re right. It’s tough love, and I can handle it. I can walk away from this and move on.”

“Hell yeah, you can,” Drew said, throwing her arm around your shoulder. “And you will. Leo? He’s just another guy. But you? You’re better than that. You’re going places, and he’s stuck in his own mess.”

You laughed, the weight in your chest starting to lift. “Thanks, Drew. I needed that.”

Drew grinned and stood up, extending her hand to you. “Anytime, sis. We’re all here for you. And trust me, you’re going to be just fine.”

As you took her hand and stood up, you felt the familiar strength of your cabin and your friends wrap around you. The camp felt a little more like home again, like the space where you could heal, grow, and build your own path.

The past few weeks had been a hard lesson in learning to let go, but as you walked back into the warmth of the Aphrodite cabin, you knew one thing for sure: you weren’t alone. And no matter how much it hurt, you’d come out stronger for it.

Claiming

[this was supposed to be a silly little headcanon, but now it's a semi-story wtf]

When you arrived to camp, you stayed in Hermes' cabin for a while where Luke took care of helping you settle down. The days grew longer as you waited for your godly parent to claim you, and yet to no avail. Luke did his best to cheer you up, and after wallowing in your emotions for too long, you accepted his help and lived a semi-normal life in the camp.

You would train with Luke in the arena, first with swords, but when you realised that daggers were more your style, Luke brought in his little sister, Annabeth, to help you. She was a tiny girl, but she took your training very seriously, as expected by a Child of Athena. By the end of your third week in camp, you had mastered all you can wielding a dagger.

Throughout the days, you and Luke have gotten into shenanigans— he mostly pulls you in when he's planning pranks on the other kids, or even Chiron— and you honestly forget that you're still an unclaimed child.

That was until Drew, the daughter of Aphrodite, accidentally did more damage than anticipated with her charmspeak on an unlucky daughter of Hephaestus.

Silena dealt with Drew in their own Aphrodite-like way, but Charles had trouble consoling his little sister from the manipulation she went through. Luke had brought you to visit Charles and his sister at the infirmary, to see how she was doing, when you got the urge to sit next to the poor girl and ask the boys to leave the room. Although Charles was hesitant about leaving you alone with his sister, Luke put a hand on his shoulder and convinced him to go outside.

Once you and the little girl, Sarah, we're alone, you started talking about your day, telling her all about strawberry picking with Luke and Annabeth for her to enjoy. She seemed to enjoy the sweet fruit you brought for her, and it gave you the opening you were looking for.

After a gentle prod with your words, Sarah opened up about what happened to her. How Drew and some of the meaner Aphrodite kids used their charmspeak on her to make her do whatever they wanted. At first it would be small things like cleaning their room or getting them drinks, but it soon turned into more and more humiliating orders until Drew took it a step too far.

You grew angry at what happened to Sarah and wanted to storm into that garishly pink cabin and give Drew a piece of your mind. Yet, as you stared into Sarah's teary eyes, you couldn't help but give her the warmest hug you have and let her cry her pain into you. There was a soft, golden glow coming from your chest, but neither you nor Sarah noticed, too caught up in the comforting hug.

Sarah looked tremendously better than earlier, her small smile brightening her adorable face and her giggle melodious as you pinch her cheeks. At the sound of her laughter, Charles and Luke, with Will by their side, barged into the room and were dumbfounded to see you tickle Sarah's sides.

While Charles was happy that his little sister was feeling a lot better, Luke and Will were gobsmacked at the sight of Apollo's Lyre hovering above your head.

Luke felt a sharp sting of jealousy when Will exclaimed and hugged you tightly, and resisted the urge to drag the blond off of you since you looked so happy to finally have a place in the camp. After you and Will talk about moving your stuff into the Apollo Cabin— Luke frowned at that— you jumped at him and hugged him with all your might, you happiness quite literally making you glow from the inside and simultaneously making Luke warm and relaxed.

[Later down the line, Luke asks you to join him to get revenge on the gods and use your powers to emotionally manipulate convince the gods to change. When you refuse, Kronos kills you with Luke's hand, leaving Luke to live with the emotional pain you would've gladly taken away for him.]

PJO FANS I HAVE A CONTROVERSIAL OPINION AND IM GONNA SAY HALF OF IT: Drew isn't necessarily wrong about silena. Is Drew a bitch?

Yes. Is a broken clock right twice a day? Hell yeah. Don't attack me, if you want me to go more in depth I will.

I Love it When you go Crazy

A/N: I have so many Random Leo Valdez moments in my drafts that it's actually concerning. Take a look at my masterlist!

Pairing: Leo Valdez x Fem!Reader

Warnings: None!

Requested?: Nope!

It was your first campfire at Camp-Half Blood. Earlier in the day, Piper had taken you on a tour of Camp. You had immediately clicked with her as she told you about her quest with Jason Grace and Leo Valdez. She explained that they were staying here for the summer, then sailing off to New Rome once Leo finished building the Argo ll. 

The flames of the campfire flickered a warm golden color, reflecting the mood of all the campers. The Apollo cabin began playing some modern songs, which was rare because nobody usually heard about any new songs. Yet the Apollo cabin was playing ‘there’s nothing holding me back.’

Your head bobbed up and down to the beat of the music as you made your way toward Piper. “Hey,” you said, reaching her. “Great music, huh?” “I feel like I should dance,” Piper agreed. “I just can’t do it in public!” You didn’t know what you were saying, but you blurted out, “you can if I lead!”

You hadn’t had the chance to tell anyone yet, but you’d been taking dance classes since you were five. This was the perfect opportunity to show off.

So you grabbed Piper's hand and led her to where other people were dancing.

You didn’t really think about what you were doing. You just danced. Piper watched you for a moment then started to mime you. 

Then of course during the bridge, Drew Tanaka had to trip you from behind. “Oops! Sorry!” She said as you started to fall. 

As fast as lightning, a hand grabbed yours before you could hit the ground. A Latino boy’s face was hovering over yours, and you realized that Leo Valdez had grabbed you before you could fall. You had noticed that most of the time he was always grinning, but right now, his face was etched with concern. It took a while for you to realize it was concern for you. 

He helped bring you fully to your feet, his hand still in your grasp when you were standing. Leo stared at you for a moment before leaning in. “I love it when you go crazy,” he whispered in your ear in time with the song. Then he spun you around. When you turned back to look for him, you saw that he had vanished into the crowd.

You waited until your racing heart had calmed down before rushing off to where Piper was still dancing.

sparks fly

"i’m on my guard with the rest of the world, but with you" "i know it’s no good"

pairings: drew tanaka x zeus fem!reader

warnings/tags: none. mean lesbian drew.

summary: drew hates everyone but you.

in the quiet corners of camp half-blood, drew tanaka, known for her sharp tongue and intimidating aura, found herself in a predicament. she had a crush.

unlike others, you seemed unfazed by her cold demeanor, and instead, you saw through the tough exterior to her vulnerable heart within. drew found herself stumbling over her words whenever you flashed her your electrifying smile, a sight that never failed to leave her a flustered mess.

despite her best efforts to maintain her composure, she couldn't shake the feeling of being completely flustered whenever you were around. she found herself going out of her way to spend time with you, seeking solace in your calming presence.

as the two you grew closer, drew found herself drawn to your gentle nature, a stark contrast to her own fiery demeanor. but it wasn't just drew who noticed the change— her siblings couldn't help but tease her mercilessly.

"looks like drew's gone soft for y/n!" one of her siblings snorted as they caught drew stealing glances at you during training.

drew rolled her eyes, but she could feel her cheeks heating up at the statement.

one evening, under the stars and with the soft glow of campfires flickering in the distance, drew finally mustered the courage to express her feelings for you. taking a deep breath, she looked into your eyes, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke.

"i-i know i may not be the best at this whole relationship thing," she began, her cheeks flushing pink.

"but i want you to know that every stumble, every awkward moment, it's all because... because i really like you, more than i've ever liked anyone before."

as she awaited your response, drew's heart felt like it was about to burst with anticipation.

you probably heard rumors about the children of aphrodite and their tendency to break people's hearts. would you be able to see her as more than just a daughter of aphrodite, as someone worthy of love?

your smile was as radiant as the sun breaking through the clouds after a storm. "you don't have to be anyone other than yourself with me, drew," you said softly, reaching out to brush a stray strand of hair from her face. "i like you for who you are— bitchy attitude and all. in fact, i like it when you're mean to me."

drew laughed as she hit you lightly on the arm. she felt a weight lift off her shoulders, replaced by a warmth that spread through her chest like wildfire. she leaned in, capturing your lips in a tender kiss, sealing your love beneath the watchful gaze of the stars.

hearts on sleeves : piper mclean

not x reader. character study. sisterly bonding. drew tanaka & piper mclean. post the books. cabin 10 series.

synopsis: the glamorous life of aphrodite's children! or cabin ten, after the smoke's cleared out: a view into the most misunderstood cabin at camp halfblood.

note: this was a series i wanted to start forever ago, mostly because i feel like the books don't explore cabin ten at all, and it feels all surface level. this is a repost, however, i want to dive deeper into this au, just focusing around cabin 10! aphrodite is more than just beauty + love is so much more, and that's essentially what this will be about! (repost from @the-ink-of-roses)

piper mclean doesn’t wear her heart on her sleeve.

she doesn’t really see the point in doing that; all her feelings have done before is hurt her. like the time where she woke up with fake memories of her and jason, a whole life curated to perfection, just to find out it was made up.

nothing was real, their relationship wasn’t real, even if they made it real later on.

or the time when jason died. he broke up with her to protect her, but piper didn’t know that. she was too caught up in her own feelings to know. the heartbreak took over everything and she didn’t think there was anything worse until his body was in pipers arm, washed up near her father’s beach.

piper mclean doesn’t want to wear her heart on her sleeve anymore.

it’s done nothing but hurt her, why not go back to being guarded now? it doesn’t dull her pain, but it protects her from experiencing more pain. the heartbreak, the tears, the uncertainty, the insecurity. no more of that, just plain old piper mclean who everyone loves.

piper mclean doesn’t wear her heart on her sleeve anymore, it’s too bruised to be in the open now.

as much as piper despises drew and her mean barbie way of life, over time she can see who her sister really is. that drew’s heart is as bruised and broken as her own if not worse.

drew tanaka used to wear her heart on her sleeve, even if it was a lifetime ago, piper can see that: she recognises the bruises of a broken heart much like her own. but a small part of her wonders, what would have been different if drew did? if, all along, drew and piper both got it.

what would being sisters mean?

piper mclean has seen a lot in the past few years to wear her heart on her sleeve.

and yet, drew’s seen more. despite their differences at first (piper cringes at her not like other girls phase, why did that exist), drew tanaka is piper’s sister.

piper would cry if something happened to drew, probably violently stab someone if they hurt her. but drew doesn’t need piper, that girl can draw blood from her nails if she wanted to.

but yet piper recognises the look of helplessness on drew’s face. it’s not a common occurrence per se, but it’s there nonetheless.

when their cabin excludes drew, when they send her a bitter look even if she’s just existing, or when they whisper things that piper doesn’t know about, but drew does. (and maybe piper hates herself a little more when the realisation that this was her fault sets in, she excluded drew first).

piper mclean doesn’t wear her heart on her sleeve anymore.

but drew tanaka used to.

at least piper thinks she used to.

piper knows drew couldn’t have been all sunshine and rainbows, that just seems abnormal for her, but if you asked piper ten months ago that she’d be on a quest to find out what happened with her cabin before so she can help drew (the others too, but piper worries about drew more), she would laugh at your face, so piper doesn’t erase sunshine drew.

its a terrifying possibility, but one nonetheless.

piper mclean doesn’t wear her heart on her sleeve, but she now has the confirmation drew used to.

the campers don’t speak much, and every time piper tries bringing it up, they cover their ears—to avoid charmspeak she presumes—and scurry away.

piper needs answers.

she doesn’t expect drew to give them to her directly, but its a stormy night, the clocks just strikes midnight and the date changes to august 18th.

the air shifts, piper sees drew slipping away during the campfire games.

piper knows she shouldn’t follow, but she does. its drew, piper tells herself she’s worried drew may stab someone with her nails, but she’s worried for drew. the five-ish years she’s been at camp now, piper has seen drew sneak away every august 18th.

this time she follows.

piper doesn’t expect to be climbing the rooftop for cabin ten—she didn’t think drew would climb even if she wanted to—or hearing drew cry. piper says nothing, choosing to slowly approach drew instead. she sits down next to her older sister.

drew says nothing, glares at her amidst tears and tries pushing her off the rooftop, but it’s a week shove. piper realises drew’s exhausted.

piper doesn’t demand for answers—it surprises her too—instead tugs drew closer and hugs her and drew begins sobbing even more, clutching piper like a lifeline.

both of them are painfully aware this is the longest interaction they’ve had in the five years they’ve known each other.

drew falls asleep on piper that night, and piper doesn’t move an inch.

all she does is pray to her mother for answers, some resemblance of clarity. (love exists, she tells aphrodite, even if it isn't romantic it exists here and piper wants help preserving it. aphrodite cries at how low her children have sunken, at how much they have forgotten when it comes to their mother's history. aphrodite knows love isn't romantic). piper wants drew to stop hurting, and she asks her mother how. (aphrodite smiles through her tears as the rift in cabin ten begins mending, starting with her two eldest kids.)

piper mclean and drew tanaka wore their hearts on their sleeves once. they are similar in ways no one would expect.

neither brings up the night for another month.

but piper sees drew relaxing when piper walks in, she sees drew subconsciously leaning towards her as a symbol of trust. piper begins dragging drew in cabin activities—she should have done that five years ago, but piper was so goddamn stubborn and stupid.

both of them know it’s not out of pity; they are kids of aphrodite after all, they understand emotions (somehow cant pick up on the sisterly love they have for each other though).

its a start, a small bandaid on wounds that are years old, but it’s a start.

piper mclean and drew tanaka are healing the wounds of wearing their hearts on their sleeves

the next change takes place on the 18th of september.

piper and drew get into an argument, a screaming match.

looking back at it, piper doesn’t even remember what it was for, but at that time it seems like a life and death choice, but there’s yelling, screaming, crying, insults, a lot.

but drew suddenly yells at her, calls her the wrong name.

“god, youre so stupid silena!“

the room goes silent, everyone stares at the two, and drew slaps her hand over her mouth. piper notices drew’s sudden shaking and the shift in the room, but before she can say anything drew runs out.

the rest of cabin ten flocks to piper, checking up on her, but she refuses to move fuelled by anger that not one of their siblings checked up on drew. she pushes them aside and runs to where she saw drew run off to, and its the same place.

cabin ten, rooftop.

nyssa from cabin nine (how the fuck did piper not see this in hindsight) is there with drew this time, gently consoling her.

piper turns to leave but nyssa tugs her back, leaving instead, piper turns to see drew staring at the piper with red eyes, but there’s no malice in them, and piper goes over and hugs drew. they sit quietly, neither demanding an explanation from the other.

its silent until drew breaks, crying out in a mess of tears. piper gets all the answers she wanted too.

silena beauregard.

piper has seen her in photos, but every-time she asks, they change the topic and now piper knows why.

drew cries her heart out to piper.

and piper mclean finally understands why drew tanaka doesnt wear her heart on her sleeve.
