demigod tae

i was gonna say something low key salty about got7 but i won't cause i don't want to get beat up

anyway this is demigod tae

if that wasn't obvious

alright let's start from the beginning shall we

tae’s dad was a simple man, just a farmer

a livestock farmer like a very small farm down in the countryside of upper new york, just past corning

can you raise livestock there well i guess you can now

it's mostly cows!! but there's also a little plot of land dedicated to growing some crops maybe like a sweet potato that seems valuable

okay anyway he has his little farm, taehyung’s dad that is, and he's pretty isolated all to himself

he gets together with some other fatness occasionally and sells his goods whatever that may be

idk about farming im just going off harvest moon okay

but you know it's whatever

okay down to the drama

there's a forecast for major flooding in the area, and tae’s dad is a little worried because while he's on high ground, he loves his little cows and he will not let them get hurt

so when the rain starts to fall, he grabs seven hundred blankets and treks out to the barn where all the cows are

he pats down some hay and makes a little nest for himself so he can chill with the cows

the rain starts to pour and it's actually rather alarming how hard it's slamming against the roof, but tae’s dad feels infinitely better knowing he's with the cows and they're safe

he's relaxing, singing some songs to the cows, when there's this sudden slamming against the barn door

tae’s dad thinks he must be hearing things, but he's maybe too curious for his own good, and so he goes to check it out for himself

he opens the door cautiously, and standing there in the pouring down rain is a pretty lady, with a hoodie under a pair overalls

she's very tanned, and her hair is dark and a little unruly, and her eyes are the color of the earth right after it rains

tae’s dad gets all flustered because she's gorgeous but then he snaps out of it and ushers her in

so what if she's oh, i don't know, a serial killer or something

she's kill him with a garden hoe or something smh

anyway he quickly searches around the barn and finds some old blankets and hands them over

he then takes off his jacket and says he'll close his eyes if she wants to put it on

he definitely doesn't try to peek through his fingers

no he wouldn't, he's a good guy and he gives her the privacy she needs and when she changes he opens his eyes again

“how'd you even find this place?” he can't help but ask

the lady ignores him at first, heading over to buttercup the cow and rubbing her head affectionately

finally she looks over at tae’s dad “lost.”

he gives her this look because who even wanders out into the countryside anyhow?? like how did she even find the countryside???

“you must really love these cows. they're fond of you.” the lady says with a soft smile. “especially this one.”

and tae’s dad eyes widen and he just gives her this look “wait can you---”

“what?” and she smiles and goes back to petting the cows

obviously she can't really escape the rain and so the lady decides to camp out with tae’s dad and the cows for the night

and they spend the entire night rambling about their favorite flowers and favorite garden plants and favorite vegetables to grow and the best ways to care for chickens

they don't even sleep because they spend the entire night talking and also the rain is really really loud they can't sleep under those conditions

and she won't reveal her name the entire night but when the sun starts to rise, she looks over at tae’s dad and kinda mumbles “the names demeter”

and tae’s dad eyes light up and he gets all smiley “you mean like the greek goddess??”

“something like that”

and by mid morning, the rain has calmed down into a soft sort of drizzle and demeter could easily leave but she chooses not too, instead the two of them stay in the barn and keep talking

and they kind of get on the topic of the farm and demeter is all “oh is it only you caring for everything here?”

and he nods “it's fine. not many people like farming.”

“i like farming.”

it starts out with demeter showing up bright-eyed every morning, ready to work under the blazing sun with tae’s dad and yes it's hard work but they're always smiling and getting to know each other better and tae’s dad’s corny farm jokes make demeter giggle and blush

get it

corny jokes

cause it's a farm

okay but the months go on and demeter is staying later and later and the two are getting closer and closer

and finally tae’s dad is like “there's an extra room in the house”

and that's when demeter officially moves in with tae’s dad

she's like wow yikes i wasn't planning on falling in love with him this is--- this is new

so she's like well i better tell him i'm the actually the greek goddess so when he's scared away at least there'll be a valid reason for it

and so one day she comes down to breakfast and sits on the old wooden bench where a plate of scrambled eggs and fresh strawberries is waiting for her

she kinda smiles a bit because wow she really is in love??

and tae’s dad comes down the stairs and his hair is a mess and he looks sleepy still and demeter is literally heart eyes for days

he comes and sits across from her and has the most gentle of smiles on his lips

demeter starts to play with her hands nervously “look, i gotta tell you something…”

and tae’s dad rests his hands on hers to try and calm her “it's okay!! i already know your secret.”

“you, you do?!”

“you like me, don't you?”

and demeter just stares at him because he's giggling to himself and he looks so damn proud of himself

“i thought that one was obvious.” she laughs and she leans over and kisses him on the nose

and yes, she eventually tells him her actual secret and yes he totally flips out but not in a bad way more like the most excited wonderful way in the world

they don't actually get married because yah she's a goddess that kind of breaks the goddess rules but they basically act like it

they raise all the beautiful cattle and sunflowers and carrots together

but

but is that enough??

nah fam it's not

they're sitting at breakfast again right

and they're holding hands as the sun shines through the window and the birds sing outside

“look, i gotta tell you something…”

tae’s dad laughs and he kisses her forehead “oh come on, i already know you're the goddess demeter!!”

“i thought that one was obvious…”

they both laugh but get serious again

“look, the reality of it is… i'm pregnant”

tae’s dad screams for maybe the next seven years?? yah, at least seven

he spins her in his arms and kisses her face all over and then kisses her stomach

zeus doesn't even seem interested in demeter and gods only know why

but she gets to stay with tae’s dad, and eventually, with lil baby tae

as soon as he can crawl baby tae is out in the garden, messing with the sunflower, pulling up carrots, trying to talk to the bumble bees

he's the cutest baby and he's spoiled by his parents, especially so by demeter who gives him the gift of being able to grow plants by singing to them

like one day he'll have the potential to control plants with his song but right now he's a small bean baby

get it bean

cause demeter

anyway tae is raised knowing who his mom is and he's so damn proud even though he's not allowed to tell anyone he's so proud of her and he thinks she's the coolest person in the world

he obviously loves his dad too

small bean tae names all the cows after his godly aunts and uncles and apollo is so damn offended he has an ugly ass cow named after him

tae absolutely adores nature like both of his parents and he's like i'm gonna be a farmer like both of you guys are!!

and demeter is like look buddy… and that's when she gives him the whole demigod talk like we love you and everything but eventually zeus is gonna come for my ass and i won't be here to protect you any longer and you need to go to a special place called camp half blood

and tae just about sobs because he's such a momma and daddy’s boy like he loves both of his parents and the idea of having to be separated from his parents breaks his heart

after he hears about camp half blood he sleeps in his parents bed for like four weeks straight

but alas the time comes for him to go and unlike most demigods there's no monster attack, no monster chase scene

it's just him and his parents all walking hand in hand to the border of camp half blood

tae is sniffling, because even though he's like twelve years old he loves his parents more than anything

demeter promises he's always welcome back home but she might not be there, and he need to learn and train to be able to defend himself in the demigod world

so tae reluctantly steps past the border and when he gets inside he's a sniffling mess but guess what's above his head it's demeter’s emblem

the most adorable boy in the world comes running over to tae and he gets all flustered because the boy is up in space and he's so adorable

“hi i'm hoseok!! i know about you, you're the one who named a cow after my dad!! my dad said i should seek revenge but you're so cute, so i'll take you to your cabin instead!!”

that's how tae ends up in the demeter cabin, surrounded by a bunch of siblings who immediately put a flower crown on his head and a giggling hoseok who wants one too

i didnt know this was four pages long but it already is and im at school typing this aren’t you guys im willing to sacrifice my grades for this au

jk im in creative writing this is a really chill class and i can get away with doing this kind of thing

okay anyway tae grows up at camp and he always goes back to visit his dad because demeter is back up on olympus but she drops by sometimes and they’ll have picnics together

but for the most part his days are spent at camp, training and overall being one of the heartthrobs of camp

like i know demeter has a wicked wrath, just think like winter?? but i see the demeter cabin being pretty chill, almost like your stereotypical hippies

like tae is super happy go lucky we all know that but at camp he has like zero boundaries he would probably walk up to someone and be like wow you’re so cute i wanna kiss you!!

probably how he met jeongguk tbh, and then yoongi respectively who then threatened to beat the daylights out of him

okay anyway he always has his flower crown perched atop his head, it’s never like him actively picking flowers for his crown, but like since he has the ability to revive things, he can take flowers that have died and revive them for his cute little crown

he makes some for all of bangtan and it’s quite the ordeal because hoseok asks if he can pretty please have sunflowers, and pink roses are obviously the flower of choice for jin, but yoongi whines and complains when he doesn’t have the same kind of flowers as jeongguk has

tae should make a business out of it or something

okay but i don’t see tae as someone who actively wants to fight even if it’s for his own protection, he thinks that monsters probably have good in them if you look long and hard enough for it

but he can’t just rely on that philosophy when you know- he’s about to be eaten

he has a spear and it’s a perfect fit because he’s tall and he’s agile and it can be used as defense as well as a weapon unlike like, idk a bow or something

okay anyway back to tae being the cutest smallest bean at camp who isn’t actually small but whatever

okay so you’re pretty on the dl around camp, you stick to your cabin, a few close friends, but you definitely don’t go out there and try to get to learn everyone and their stories

you like to spend your days, sparring with close friends, reading, hanging in the arts cabin, or just kind of doing your own thing

the rockwall is something you’ve always wanted to try though and so one day you’re like you know what i’m gonna head down there and i’m gonna climb the wall of doom

but there’s kind of a line going on because like while anyone can just go for it, it’s hard to maneuver when there’s seventy two other people trying to climb the same area that you are

and you’re like i can do this, i’ll wait, it’s no big deal

but after a while, you feel a pair of eyes on you

you know how you can just tell when someone is staring at you?

well that’s the feeling you're getting right then and there and so you spin around and leaning up against a tree is the most handsome person you have ever seen

he’s tall, dark, and handsome

i finally can use this

yes, in all of these au’s, all the boys retain their natural glow, this is an anti-whitewashing blog

anyway he catches you staring and you would assume he would look away all embarrassed but nah fam, he gives you one of those nods, and then winks and you immediately turn back around and shove your hands into your pockets because that is not allowed to happen no sir how dare he do that to you

how dare he attack you in your own home

but guess what you can still feel his eyes boring a hole into the back of your head and you will not tolerate this oh no

so you spin back around and he smiles and motions you over and you’re like hoe don’t do it but you do anyway

you cautiously make your way over to him and when he sees you’re actually coming his eyes light up and this huge smile breaks out on your face and you’re like this is what heaven looks like i guess

“i’m taehyung, but you can call me tae, or babe, whichever you prefer”

you roll your eyes and laugh a bit and he laughs too and wow that’s a very nice life

you introduce yourself and then you ask why he called you over and suddenly he looks confused and you have this sudden panic that maybe he was waving to someone else but then he smiles all cute

“well, it’s cause you’re adorable!! and i wanted to tell you, duh”

and you get super blushy and flustered and stare up at him and he just gives a shrug and smiles again

“me and my friends are probably gonna head down to the lake later today, do you wanna come?”

a few hours later, you find yourself fending off hoseok and taehyung who are trying to splash you and jeongguk with water

seokjin pulls down his sunglasses to glare and jimin mimics him and yoongi naps under his floppy sunhat

namjoon is stuck in the middle of the war

when you prove very resistant to his attacks, tae starts singing to the seaweed and suddenly it’s all up on your legs and you squeal and try to move but the seaweed has you in place

tae giggles and demands your surrender but before he can claim victory, hoseok splashes him and tae falls back in the water dramatically

you break through the seaweed and run over to him to see if he’s okay but when you lean over, tae grabs your arm and pulls you down into the water with you

it’s really shallow so it’s not it’s dangerous and you practically fall onto tae so there’s that happening

you gasp loudly and try to get up but he tells you that it’s really fine and that you can be his human shield from that traitor hoseok

which you end up doing

besides tae is just warm?? and laying in the water next to him isn’t half bad

after that you’re always with the group, no matter what

mostly with tae but the group does exist in the background…

like you even get an honorary flower crown and tae acts oblivious when namjoon calls him out for using flowers that mean beauty and attraction and love

but you and tae don't really ever hang out alone because one of the boys if not more are tagging along--

until you get sent on a quest

and taehyung is the only one who tags along

there's been some suspicious activity out west and you and taehyung have been chosen to go expect the issue and fix what needs to be mended

the quest is really freaking vague and you and tae are somewhat confused but hey, as long as tae is by your side you don't mind

he's not very good at fighting and you always have to protect him, but he can use certain plants to heal your wounds if needed

he likes to set up camp at night and he always volunteers to watch first so you can sleep

he's also pointing out the different kinds of plants you encounter in each of the different states and he talks about all their properties

at first things were kind of !! because obv you both had a thing for each other deep down but after a week in tae was like you know what---

and so he casually holds your hand and when you question it he says “it's safer this way”

he lets you use his sleeping bag because he insists it's warmer

okay anyway you get to the good old west and you're like okay so what are we supposed to do---

and suddenly you get an iris message and yoongi and jin appear on the screen and you're like my dudes!!!

but they look absolutely worried and now you're kind of questioning what's going on

jin sounds absolutely panicked “you two need to leave, it's not safe for you anymore, we figured out why you two are there and-”

the message cuts off suddenly but right before it's gone you hear yoongi curse

you and tae exchange horrified looks but you shake your head “look, we're aware, we'll be okay…”

there's a sudden rustling from behind you and you and tae spin, but a small kid comes walking up and you're like where---

“hi, i'm minhyuk!! i'm from camp jupiter, you must be taehyung?”

taehyung glares “hey i'm not the only person here”

and he introduces you with a scowl

“it's okay…” you rub his arm soothingly “i didn't know there was another camp--”

“really??” minhyuk just shrugs. “well come with me, we have a lot to talk about!!”

minhyuk grabs you by the hand and tae just about has a heart attack because wait no other cute boys aren't allowed to touch you like that !!

but anyway you end up at camp jupiter or as you like to call it “camp sticks up their asses” because it's so strict

it's nothing like camp half blood and while it's definitely impressive it's not home whatsoever

and like everyone seems way too interested in taehyung and you're not liking it whatsoever

like everyone is like wow you're so handsome and so gifted and so strong

and tae is like i've never killed a monster lol

and they just--- still so handsome and so gifted and so strong!!!

and you're wondering what the heck is going on and why you're here and what your quest is

but one day while you and tae are eating your meal, one of the campers, a kid named wonho, asks tae to follow him

you get up to tag along but wonho smiles softly “we'll be back in a few okay??”

but they're not back in a few

in fact it's night and you're still waiting for tae

luckily a pair of friends named taeil and sicheng try to keep you company and cheer you up

but you're sniffling because you and tae are a duo and now he's gone---

and it's light out and camp and you go to the guest house alone

it's past midnight when tae comes stumbling in

you bolt up and slide off the bunk to meet him and you pull him into your arms

“what the hell is going on?!”

taehyung shakes his head “they're trying… the gods are a bunch of crackheads--”

and how he's rambling and he's talking about the gods and how their split personas are getting worse and how zeus///jupiter has this wild idea to try and merge camps permanently through an exchange program of sorts and how he was the one nominated along with the wonho kid and neither of them had a say in it whatsoever

and taehyung says he will not do it there's no way in all the underworld he will do it

and you tell him to calm down and take some deep breaths because he's overworking himself but he takes you by the shoulders

“i'm not leaving camp half blood!! i grew up there!! my family is there!! and you're there, i'm not ever going to leave your side!!”

“tae, nobody ever said-”

“i love you!!!”

and you two just stare at each other and there are hot tears streaming down his face but he smiles softly “gods i really love you”

and he leans down and kisses you so so so gently as if you might break if he's any rougher

that night you two crawl into the same bunk, snuggled together and praying for the best

you're both shaken awake violently though, and you open your eyes to see taeil and minhyuk standing there

“hurry up hurry up, we're getting you out!!”

the four of you sneak out of the cabin to the edge of camp and you're like but what about the guards but minhyuk just laughs and giggles

boom you're swept up in this black mist and it feels like you're body is pulling itself apart---

tae grabs your hand and squeezes it tight

when you open your eyes you're standing in the middle of what looks like a desert

“sorry, shadow travel is exhausting” minhyuk yawns

and you and tae just stare in confusion??? because minhyuk??? a son of pluto??? but he's so pure???

“opposites attract i guess!!!”

he says he and taeil will get you guys out of california for protection

and they do

you and tae make it back to camp half blood safely and you explain the details to chiron because he wasn't even sure what was going on

he says he'll try to mediate ok the gods behalf

and most of the gods side against zeus so it's okay!!!

you and tae are safe and very much in love

the end
