I crave more of the ghost road trip au-

and i will provide!! tm9 travel with three pets*.

Frumpkin! Of course they travel with him they would never not. He's very much caleb's, and while he probably isn't a normal cat no one is willing to figure out what exactly he is so they've decided to ignore weird shapeshifting things when they happen

*Mister Raven! Not really a pet but he does on occasion travel with them. Specifically Molly, who used to think he was an omen and now just thinks he's fun. Larger and smarter than normal ravens, has gotten them out of a couple scrapes in the past.

Dottie. Beauregard's car. She's beat up as shit, neither of the doors on the right work, you have to kick the trunk a couple times to be certain it's closed, probably more duct tape than car at this point. Dottie comes from DT, which was a shortening of Death Trap.

Legacy of Chronos: Daughter of the Unknown God

Through her travels around the world/Infinite Realms, Ellie stumbles on Camp Halfblood and is mistaken for a demigod. She is determined to be a legacy of Cronus (Clockwork) and the child of an unknown god with a DP symbol (Danny).

Cue everyone mistaking Chronos for Kronos and thinking that the mystery god is a child of Kronos born sometime while he was in Tartarus. This misunderstanding is not helped by the fact that the Underworld is part of the Infinite Realms and portals to the Ghost Zone where often mistaken for portals to Tartarus.

Now Zeus is freaking out and wants to use Ellie as leverage against her father who obviously wants to take over Olympus. Percy/Thalia/Nico/Lester/whoever is now trying to keep Ellie out of Zeus’s paranoid clutches and get her back to Tartarus before her father goes looking for her.

(Ellie is so happy she made new friends, they’re even going to take her on a road trip to LA. Sure they seemed really nervous when she mentioned Danny would come looking for her if she didn’t check in soon, how was she supposed to know Hellhounds are cellphones anyway)

I had an extremely baffling encounter in my complex the other day wherein a nice looking lady was hovering around looking lost and frustrated. I made eye contact and rolled down my window and she hurried over in delight.

She was trying to get ahold of the people in the apartment next to mine and asked if I knew them. I said, sorry, no. She looked so crestfallen that I added, “Look, I’m a stranger and you have no reason to trust me, but if you have something you need to give them I’ll pass it along. I can leave a note on their door.”

She was absolutely ecstatic and said yes very gratefully. She told me she works for a company that just pays you to watch TV and was trying to get them to opt in. My scam senses started tingling as she gave me the pitch for her company but she didn’t ask for info or anything.

She was so grateful she ended up giving me the gift basket she was carrying as thanks for delivering the message. She asked if I’d like the opportunity if they turned it down. I cautiously said yes and took her info to give to the next door tenants.

To my surprise when I looked into it the company was completely legit, no associated scams popped up at all and it’s basically like winning the lotto to be one of their families. I scoped out the neighbor and saw the note and the packages on their doorstep had gone but they never contacted me. So I got to text her and say they didn’t seem interested, but I was.

She came by today to go over everything and talk about it and I’m pretty jazzed for it in general. So like, being a nice person pays off sometimes.

ghost road trip au.

so beau is like 24. and she knows that caleb is like 32. caleb does not know beau is 24, and learns this at the same time beau learns he dies in the year 2000, aka when she was going to kindergarten.

needless to say they both find this intensely distressing

WIP Wednesday

Have a bit more of the Kid Fic, that still doesn't have a name! No pressure tags: @sentientcave, @stuffireadandenjoy, @gemmahale, @mi-i-zori, and anyone reading this who is wearing socks but not shoes.

The drive is uneventful for the first half hour, then Soap becomes very aware of the nerves in his lips all at once. Next, the temperature of the truck seems to creep up a couple of degrees, and a gentle tingling settles in his fingertips, kneecaps, and toes. He takes a deep breath on reflex and realizes a split second later that he maybe shouldn’t have before the smell of oatmeal cookies, peaches, and lingonberry fill his senses and his muscles all seem to relax at once.

“Who the fuck smells like Ikea,” Soap asks, aloud, as soon as the thought pops in his head.

“That’s where I know that smell from!” the boy exclaims. “It’s the sauce!”

“He really does smell like oatmeal cookies.” The girl’s voice slurs a bit. “Still kinda spicy.”

“Cinnamon and paprika. That’s why he’s my favorite to sit next to on planes,” Soap says. His mouth waters. “God, I’m hungry.”

“I’m hungry,” the boy echoes.

“Hi hungry, I’m Ghost,” Ghost snickers.

“I want a cool nickname!” the kid cries. “I’m just Jackson.”

“Jax,” Ghost says.

“Give me one,” the girl whines. “My name’s Shantal.”

“Crepe.”

“That’s dumb! Give me a better one!”

Soap groans. “Ah’d kill fer a whole stack o’ crepes, aboot noo.” Now that he’s acknowledged it, he can’t help but remember that he’s not had a proper, non-MRE meal in 72 hours. He’d kill for some peanut butter. And, as if summoned, a peanut butter protein bar appears right in front of his face. He stares at it in cross-eyed wonder for a moment before grabbing for it.

Ghost shakes his hand free of Soap’s grip just as the kids pipe up from the back, wanting their own snacks. Soap opens the bar and hands it back without thinking, realizing too late that he’s given his only sustenance to two teenagers, taken hostage for who knows how long.

“This is gross,” Jax says through a full mouth. “I want a hamburger. And fries.”

Ghost’s scent gets the hint of nutmeg it sometimes gets after missions. He says, “Safehouse is a bit sparse, but I’ll see what I c’n do.”

“Are we on the run?” Crepe wonders aloud. “Like, witness protection? Do they have witness protection here? Where are we? Did we leave the country? I don’t have a passport. Do they let you back in without a passport? Why’s it called a passport?”

“Passport,” Jax says. “Paaaaassport.”

Soap loses time for a bit, listening to the kids, smelling the general contentment in the car. He turns his head to look at Ghost in the driver’s seat. The man is about as relaxed as Soap’s ever seen him on a mission, driving one handed, the other tapping methodically at the gearshift. To anyone else, he’d probably look imposing, but the mask is just comforting. Ghost catches him watching, huffs a chuckle, and keeps driving.

Happy Halloween! My song “To All Local Ghosts” is available NOW wherever you get your music!

This is an old demo of an even older song that I wrote about a roadtrip across the US from Florida to Washington in 2013. I thought I’d lost this extremely rough demo, and had abandoned hope of it reaching the public, but it’s been recovered and I’m so excited for you all to hear it! This recording is very… textured, but tbh I feel like that loans something to the vibe of the song. It feels… Alive. Haunted. It feels like it could’ve been recorded in a car on a road trip.

So give it a listen, you spooky little weirdos, and enjoy what’s truly one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written. Oh, and the last third is in French because little baby 2013 Jupiter was AMBITIOUS
