#grace writes stuff

[angelsdean]

There are some souls that are particularly bright and resilient. They can endure more, they regenerate faster. You take a chunk out of them, on the rack, and they hold strong. These souls are very attractive to powerful beings. Gods and wannabe deities and supervillains-in-training and weakened and wounded beings set their eyes on these souls and see a shining power source. They want to feast on all that soul-juice. If they manage to get close enough and ensnare one of these super-souls they'll just suck and suck, vampiric and voracious. It can be hard to counteract an attack like this, even for the most resilient ones. As soul-energy is depleted they grow weaker and weaker to wretch themselves away from the leech. However, outside intervention is often successful. If another energy source is injected into the soul at greater rates than depletion then it can effectively restore the lost energy and allow for the soul to escape the clutches of the attacking force. Now, there are a few ways this infusion can be performed. One method is to use angel grace. Angel grace is similar to soul energy. It vibrates on similar frequencies, it manifests as light, but also possesses a liquid quality at times. Soul and grace are quite compatible, however the issue that arises is that few angels would be willing to perform such a procedure on a human soul. If one were to find a willing angel with a close enough connection to a human, then options for grace infusion are as follow:

grace transmitted through healing (may not always work if the soul is heavily depleted)

oral ingestion of grace

reaching into the body and touching the soul, leaving behind traces of grace

engaging in sexual intercourse and transmitting grace via ejaculation (this method is generally not recommended as it may result in the creation of a nephil)

similar to method No. 4: pumping grace directly into the soul. This is the most effective method for restoring soul energy, and carries less risk of nephil conception.

Once grace has effectively been infused into the soul, the human should experience a restoration of energy and in most cases will be able to successfully fight off whatever has been feeding on it. However one must exercise caution when using angel grace on a human soul, as angel grace does not deplete and instead regenerates. Meaning any grace that enters the soul will remain there for life, unless it is later extracted. Side-effects of angel grace remaining within the human soul are unknown at this time as little study has been conducted on this topic.

Nico: Hey. Thank you.

Jason: For what?

Nico: For basically forcing me to be your friend.

Jason: You wanted to be friends with me too. You just didn’t know it.

directions to the truth

pairing: jason grace/nico di angelo rating: T total word count: 35.7k important tags: canon universe, POV alternating, fluff & angst & humor, hurt/comfort, grief/mourning, nightmares, sword fighting

Three times in three days. This guy is really sticking it to Nico’s trust issues. A small voice in the back of Nico’s head whispers, what does he want with you? People — especially people like Jason — don't just decide you're worth their time. He must want something. Everyone does. Except… The look on Jason’s face when Nico thought he was using him to get Leo back. The genuine distress. The fact that when Jason confronted Nico in Auster’s palace, when Nico pushed, Jason only pushed back, stern and unafraid. Telling him take a risk. No, not telling him; challenging him. • Immediately following the war, Jason and Nico keep choosing each other.

welcome to my post-BoO canonverse exploration of jasico at camp half-blood after the war. it was supposed to be short, and then predictably spiraled way out of control. there are eight chapters, linked below as i update them, which will happen most likely over the next few days. have fun :)

I. NICO // II. JASON // III. NICO // IV. JASON // V. NICO // VI. JASON // VII. NICO // VIII. JASON

Click and zoom on the image for better quality tho-

I made hazel's eyes glow upon seeing her jewels bc I thought it was a cute concept of her eyes lighting up along with the gems around her

(tw: mentions of sexual harassment, dnr if that's a bad topic for you)

ok let's all hold hands in a circle and think about piper mclean angst and complexities for a second. the sheer disgust (if not disgust then at least uncomfortability) that she has irt others expressing attraction to her is such a troubling part of her character. she goes out of her way to downplay her attractiveness and rick describes it as her "not liking the attention" and that makes sense but let's dig deeper here. if you're a woman then it is surely not just about "not liking the attention", there's a pervasive undercurrent of fear that a man's attraction to you will result in something very dangerous happening

especially for a demigod! how many times have the gods terrorized a woman because she's "just so beautiful" and they "can't resist". jason's father is an obvious example but leo's father has done it too. (not just pulling an old myth out of nowhere and asserting it as pjo canon here, hephaestus sexually harasses athena in the "percy jackson's greek gods" book. it's in the athena chapter and it's pretty much written for laughs to downplay the darkness of daedalus' birth origins.) I'm definitely not implying anything about jason or leo here but I just think it has to be unsettling to be someone like piper and exist with all of that history so closely around her

and like yes piper was written by a man in 2010 and has some "not like other girls" disdain for conventional femininity and makeup and whatever (I prefer to think of it as slightly misguided anti-materialist sentiments) but I think that if you dig deeper, in piper's mind there's likely a sincere lack of understanding as to why a woman would go out of her way to be more attractive. she's probably exhausted of people making their attraction to her her problem, to the extent that wearing makeup and cute clothes ever just sounds like an extreme exacerbation of the problems that she already faces for being the prettiest woman since helen of troy (she's never described that way but I mean the paris/helen parallels between jason and piper are all over the books)

like growing up in the mortal world she probably gets catcalled all the damn time. and we see potentially dangerous non-mortal beings express attraction to her regularly throughout the books, and unfortunately for her she has to make use out of that attraction in order to save herself and her friends regularly. the efficacy of her charmspeak is explicitly linked to whether or not her target is/could be attracted to her

so she has to weaponize her appearance (arguably her sexuality) to bring down her foes. she's 16 years old and the foes are so often male gods/monsters who are hundreds and thousands of years older than her. it's horrifying actually. obviously the idea that physical attractiveness = more sexual harassment is a complete fallacy (because harassment can happen to absolutely anyone) but like. in the context of greek mythology? yeah no wonder piper wanted to completely remove herself from the greek world in toa. take all of this in stock with the historical+ongoing oversexualization of indigenous women and we've got something really fucked here!

[bibuckaroo]

so i made the outline of my khunbam fanfic with female!khun au and i’m so excited!!! what i have for now:

• khun as a jahad princess because i always headcanoed that if he had been born female, khun would’ve been the obvious choice to become a princess, because his older sister relied on him and maria became a princess because of him. but if he had the chance, why would he help anybody else if he could become a princess? i mean he already has the beauty, the brains and the right family and now he has the gender!!

• bam as a slayer candidate who does know all his friends already and that is why he’s working for fug (i’m trying not to change his story so much, but obviously there will be major changes because he won’t have khun with him to certain moments all his life)

• i think it will have around 8 chapters, trust.

• it is inspired on taylor swift’s songs (of course it is, have you met me?) because i only had the idea of this au listening to but daddy i love him and it makes soooo much sense, also i created a playlist for it!!

• besides having enemies to allies to friends to lovers in it, it is also a you’ve got mail au and it will work out beautifully (in my head at least).

[sodamnbored]

Did they ever actually specify who named Jason in any of the books? I can’t remember, but I thought it was just a sort of vague mention of why he was named Jason, as opposed to a concrete “Dad named you because / Mom named you because” kind of explanation?

So now I’m thinking, wouldn’t it be super cute and bolster the only ever implied sibling bonding if it was Thalia that had chosen his name?

Like, loads of older siblings get the opportunity to weigh in on picking baby names for younger siblings anyway. And if we can presume that Thalia had a similar situation to Annabeth in that her mortal parent was fully aware of their godly hookup and was very open about that with their kid and Beryl told Thalia lots of stories about the mythology, or like Piper she got interested in the stories and dug around on her own.

Then Thalia is like, what, seven or so years older than Jason? Totally old enough to have ideas and comprehend at least simple story ideas, but still young enough to work off the easy little kid logic to solve problems.

So she’d have been old enough to notice Beryl beginning to get anxious, beginning to get a little paranoid. She’d hear her mom talking about them being in danger, especially her baby brother to be, and all because Juno was mad at her brother before he’d even arrived.

And she could be reading stories and suddenly the answer presents itself and it’s so simple. And she asks to call the baby Jason because Juno liked and protected the original Jason from the Argonauts story. Therefore little kid logic demands that Juno likes Jason, so if they make her brother Jason, Juno won’t be mad at him anymore when he arrives and will like him too. Problem solved.

It would’ve been the very first time she ever protected her baby brother and she probably didn’t even know how much it had protected him from an angry god. And he hadn’t even been born yet.

But the thing that gets him every time, the head trip of it all, is that Leo lets him. Whatever whacked off hair-brained way Jason wants him, Leo just holds on for the ride. It's intoxicating, to be allowed to move this man he's been obsessed with for almost his whole life and put his mouth on him any way he desires. To get him off in every way he can, until Leo is shaking and crying with it

He's obsessed, if Leo wasn't such a workaholic Jason wouldn't let him out of his bed now that he has him there.

And the fact that Leo will just wear his mark. The blooming bruises across his neck and chest peeking out of his tank top. Proof that Jason has been there, proof that they are both here and alive and together. Everyone teases and rags on them, but Leo never makes him stop

It also scratches this itch in the back of his brain, this jealous need to let everyone know Leo is his. The smartest most stunningly wonderful man in the world with be going to bed tonight with Jason fucking Grace, it just adds to the pure head trip of it all

And whats even better is when Leo decides Jason has been having too much fun and needs to be put in his place. Because the mess he gets to make of this man he finally gets to be with is only made because Leo lets him.

Leo has to know what he's doing at this point, he may hem and Haw about how he's only passing with speaking wolf but his actions say otherwise.

Like now, with Leo in nothing but his boxer briefs sitting on Jason's hips and pinning his head back by his hair. It forces Jason's face towards the headboard, the vulnerable line of his jugular exposed and open. Jason could probably get out of the pin, he's stronger and Leo is so tiny, but does he want to? Not with the way Leo is looking at him, half like he's a particularly tricky piece of wiring he's trying to solve half love-drunk awe. The hand not in Jason's hair is trailing over the soft weak parts of him. Fingertips tracing the line where his ribs meet middle, following his sternum up until his palm is over his Adams apple. Leo doesn't press or add weight, doesn't even squeeze, just lightly smooths the heel of his palm over. The vulnerability of it all has Jason whimpering and his fingers twitching on the near death grip he has on Leos calfs

Jason is near panting with it, shirtless and legs shaking as Leo idly explores him with his fingers. The line where the tendon in his neck meets collarbone, the indent made by his jaw bone under his chin, the rabiting pattern of his pulse point. Leo presses there, feeling the design of his lifeblood beneath his fingers

“You're like, really into this huh?” the other man asks, quietly and without judgment, almost in awe. Jason just lets out another pathetic whimper and tries to bare impossibly more of his throat

It didn't start as weird hindbrain kinky time, it really just started as cuddles and then Leo being a brat about finally getting a hickey on Jason for once. But once he was pinned by his hair Jason was gone for it, and because Leo is Leo and knows him at this nutso-ass level, clocked the shift immediately

Leo leans forward more, draping his torso across Jason's and his open middle. It puts the other man's face by Jason's neck, close enough to trade his fingertips for teeth against his pulse point. The sensation makes Jason's hips buck and a high-pitched whine escapes him

“Do you need to give me a color?” Leo tries, exchanging his teeth for his lips to press soft kisses up towards Jason’s ear. The color check-in is new but very welcome, a way to communicate through their shared wack-ass broken brain intimacy that yes I'm okay just going nonverbal, not dissociating or whatever. Like Jason is now, most likely nonverbal that is

“Hey,” Leo continues, adjusting himself so they can lock eyes “give me your color baby”

Jason first tries to get it out in the body language forward subvocal way you communicate in wolf, but that doesn't really work. For one there's not really a way to communicate colors, and it's also so loose and open to interpretation. Working to switch back to English takes a moment, but it grounds him all the same. When he gets out a shaky reply of “Green” Leo rewards him with a fresh smattering of kisses

“Do you want to be good right now?” Leo continues to check “or do you want me to take care of you?”

“I want-” Words are hard, words are always hard when its his wants and needs, but Leo always waits for him to find them “I want you to, put me where you want me”

“Where I want you?” there's a smile in Leo’s voice

“This is good” Jason tries to show impossibly more of his throat, trying to submit harder put himself more in Leos hands “when you make me-”

It's hard to verbalize. How do you express how this half-playful puppy pin half-total submission that's drowning in safety and trust makes his head spin? Makes him both totally relaxed but also vibrating on edge,

Favorite Colors (Nico & Aeon + 5)

Nico: If you have to pick one, what would be your favorite color?

Percy: Mine's-

Nico: Blue. We all know, Captain Obvious.

Percy: Wow. You just couldn't wait a second before verbally attacking me.

Nico: (grinning)

Hazel: Mine's probably... white.

Nico: I honestly thought yours would be either yellow or orange.

Hazel: I like them too. But white's a versatile color, so... (shrugs)

Jason: Purple for me.

Reyna: I don't really have any.

Jason: That's bor- (sees Reyna's expression) -... not fun. But not having a favorite is fine. (quickly turns to Nico) Yours is green, right?

Nico: Yup.

(w/ the sea-green eyes) Percy: Why do I feel happy with his answer?

(w/ the chartreus-green eyes) Alabaster: Funny. So am I.

(w/ the emerald-green eyes) Aeon: (rolls his eyes, but is happy as well)

Alabaster: Anyway... mine is brown.

Percy: Brown? Like earth brown?

Jason: Earth brown? Sounds like some made-up color.

Percy: It's not made-up! And you know what I mean!

Hazel: Actually, there is a color called earth brown.

Percy: Ha! Eat that!

Alabaster: (glaring at Percy) If you don't shut up, I'll shove earth brown down your throat.

Percy: (zips his lips)

Alabaster: Not earth brown. More like... russet brown.

Reyna: (smiles knowingly) I wonder why.

Nico: (has russet-brown eyes)

Alabaster: (gives her a pointed look)

Hazel: And Aeon?

Nico: His is-

Aeon: Pink.

All six: Pink???

Nico: Wait. I thought you like gold? Why do you suddenly like pink?

Aeon: (thinking about Nico's lips and his cheeks when he's blushing) No particular reason.

Alabaster: Why do I feel irritated by his answer?

Percy: Funny. So am I.
