Undead at Dusk
hehe the plan is finally planning, although i did not take my time writing this Word count: 1k Pairing: Platonic everything? Ig, gn! reader Warnings: New cast introductions, -Asnyox
After the movie marathon you were beat- however at least you could sleep in for the day. However, your sleep was mostly cut short when Nico worriedly shook you awake.
“Look, I know you have been hiding something- together with Leo and Jason.” “Ghhrh,” you sleepingly sat up as Nico continued his story.
“Why are there dead beings coming closer, (Y/n).” Nico asked, squeezing your shoulder, “How did you even manage to raise the dead?” “The what?” You blinked twice, and saw Will peaking over Nico’s shoulder, “the automatons aren’t dead.” You said, before you gasped, “I mean, what automatons? There’s an automa-TON of fun to be had. How late is it?”
“It’s nine,” Hazel spoke up as she stepped next to Nico. She put a hand on Nico’s shoulder. “I don’t know what automatons you’re talking about, but there really are undead coming this way.” Hazel looked at you pointedly.
“Why do you guys think I have something to do with them?” you sighed, “Fine, I’ll get up and we can go take a look. What’s the difference between undead and dead anyways?”
“Not important.” Nico scoffed, “hurry up so we can prepare for the worst.”
“Why are we going all the way out to fuck knows where for a Halloween party?” Mallory glared at Magnus. “Because I didn't feel for ‘Halloween to the death 101’ this year.” Magnus told her, “Besides Annabeth and Percy will be there, and Blitzen has business somewhere around here.”
“I for once agree with this decision,” Alex said, “There’s nothing like forgetting you’re technically dead by celebrating Halloween.” “I am excited for this! I haven’t ever before celebrated Halloween outside of Valhalla.” TJ was grinning, “Besides, I am loving this costume thing! I’m dressed up as a Brit!” he laughed as he once again looked over his costume.
“Okay, but where is this waystation? I feel like we’ve been walking around for hours by now.” Blitzen said, “I have things to do and would like to do so before the party starts.” “We’re not lost, are we Magnus?” Alex looked pointedly at Magnus. Magnus gulped. “I’m sure we’re going in the right direction!” Magnus looked around, “We should be there any minute now.”
You had been ‘hunting’ for the undead all around the Waystation, mostly trying to avoid the areas where you had noticed automaton activity. You had the small hope that perhaps these undead would show up, fight the automatons, and both parties would perish in the end.
However, nothing seemed to be roaming around. Nico and Hazel both were on edge- clearly they could feel something approaching. The closest you got to finding a threat was Klaus, who was snooping around for some reason (probably trying to hide from Percy).
Meanwhile, the Waystation was decorated, all your demigod friends were there to attend, and costumes were being put on by most. Annabeth seemed to be a bit on edge, as apparently her costume was delayed, whatever that could mean. If anything- people were all hyped about the costumes, for there was a contest to be won. Yet, your head was occupied with something else as Leo and Jason quickly approached your little group.
“Hey, (Y/n), you busy?” Leo was gasping for air.
“Uh- sort off,” you side eyed Nico, “We’re trying to find some undead.” “Oh cool, so not busy,” Leo grabbed your hand, “Let’s go!”
Before anyone could react, Leo had whisked you away. Jason turned to Nico and Hazel. “Where have you looked for the undead?” he asked, “Maybe they’re outside- where it’s safer than in here and whatever. You should go, and look, and uh, we’ll send (Y/n) to you when they’re free, cool? Cool." Jason turned around to follow Leo and you.
The party was almost starting now- and Nico and Hazel went outside. What were you up to? “You can still feel them coming, right?” Hazel asked and Nico nodded. “I just don’t see anything. No skeletons, ghouls, ghosts, no nothing.” Nico sighed, “maybe it is just the dead acting up since it is Halloween. I should check it with Leo and his moms later on, just in case, having this many unresting spirits in a place is often just a disaster waiting to happen.”
“Perhaps it is time we go and join the others at the Halloween party.”
Nico turned and quickly pointed his sword at the undead-
Unbothered, the green haired girl blinked at him and asked, “Oh, you guys know where the party is?”
“You’re dead.” Nico answered her question, and she smiled. “Is that a problem? Because I can make it a problem if you make it one.”
“It’s not a problem.” Hazel quickly said, “We do know where the party is, uh, are you invited?” She looked over the group of people- some more clearly in costume than others.
“My cousin, Annabeth, invited us.” the blonde in the group answered, “We’ve been looking for this uh, ‘waystation’, but have been unable to find it.”
“And we’re running late,” the most well-dressed of the group said, “There is so much I still need to do. Please tell me you can bring us to the waystation.”
Nico looked behind him, at the waystation, as Hazel looked at them confused.
“It’s right here?” she pointed at the building. After a moment, the group seemed to all see the Waystation in its full glory. Whereas there was a clear mix of relief and anger on the faces, nobody commented on the appearance of the building.
“Thanks, let’s go.” the well-dressed person said as he adjusted his backpack and walked forward, mumbling about what he still had to do.
A moment after the group left, Hazel turned to Nico.
“What are a couple of undead Bostonians doing here?”
“Celebrating Halloween, apparently.”

The Automaton Mash
Last part from Halloween of the year! Hope y'all enjoyed our brainwaves. Pairing: A lot platonic, both MCGA and TOA, x gn!reader Word count: 2.9k Warnings: only our humour I suppose Happy Halloween! - Danny & Asnyox
Lester is the next guy to come up to you in a frantic state. “Have you seen Hecate?”
You stare at him without understanding. “Yeah, plenty of times. Not today though.”
“Very funny. Seriously, I thought I had handled that yesterday but I could’ve sworn that I saw her like three minutes ago and I keep hearing these scratching noises coming from the vents…”
Your heartbeat picks up at his statement. “Eh, what now? Are you sure it isn’t the music echoing through the vents? We’d never held a party indoors before, maybe that’s it?”
“No, no. I tell you, Hecate is here,” Apollo winces. “Maybe I should stop using her name. Anyway, if you see her tell me right away. Gods, you wouldn’t believe how hard it is to keep her from showing up at your parties since the one you held years ago at her house, now she keeps saying how she’s so eager to see it first-hand but if she realizes there are no large campfires with dancing witches all over and that you’ve also invited people from other realms she’ll be so disappointed that she’ll forbid you from making parties!”
You frown. “Is that the reason why you’re always around during Halloween? Wait, what do you mean other realms? Is this about the undead, because I don’t know who invited those guys, Nico didn’t.”
“Klaus is literally right there.” He gives you a look pointing at the entrance. “Why else would I be here every freaking year?”
“Because you love and miss us?”
Lester brushes it off. “Yes. Lots and lots. Anyway, we must find Hecate—”
“It’s not Hecate,” you sigh heavily. “I know what the noises are, but I don’t think we can do much without halting the party. I could use your help, though.”
“Oh. Doing what?”
“We need an expert at dressing up to judge the costume competition and you are our guy,” you smile. “So in about twenty minutes or so go meet Calypso in front of the stage, pretty please?”
Lester glances at the hallway again but gives in. He hopes nothing bad happens while he sits back and enjoys the party.
Percy was looking for Alex. He felt bad for whatever Klaus and possible-real-santa had to put up with on a yearly basis. Starting the preparations for Christmas during Halloween? That’s just insane. But he also knew that he had approximately 20 dollars, a half pack of gum, and a pharmacy receipt in the pockets of his costume.
If only he could recall what Alex was dressed as- he hadn’t seen her yet, but he knew that Annabeth told him before, in one of her costume planning rambles. With a little chance she might have more money on her, and if not he could try Piper too.
In Percy’s searching frenzy he wasn’t really looking out where he was going, until he bumped into someone. Percy quickly looked and saw blonde hair, pointy ears and-
Oh gods there were three of them. Did all the elves have to go to this party? Did they have nowhere left? Was the world that far gone? Without a second thought he blurted out a quick “I’ll get you money!” to the closest elf, before running off in a different direction. Said elf turned to his two fellow Legolase’s.
“What’s Percy’s problem?” Magnus asked, as Jason shrugged. “I think it has to do with Klaus again,” Will said, and Jason seemed to understand. Magnus, however, was left in the dark, for only a moment, before Will sighed and started explaining the saga of Klaus and Percy’s obsession with Christmas.
Percy figured he would simply give his earthly possessions to Klaus immediately- he can always do a fundraiser next Christmas for the elves. With this mindset he went back out to meet with Klaus and his friend. Before Percy could come close enough to see what they were doing, Klaus’s friend pointed at him. Klaus turned around and smiled widely.
“Ah Percy, found any gifts?” He said, as he made sure that Percy stood in front of both his friend and him. Percy squinted his eyes as Klaus seemed to be using sign language, but he didn’t question it.
“I have twenty dollars and some gum-” he said and he felt himself get flustered. Klaus’ friend was staring intensely at his face while he was talking. Percy sighed, “I couldn’t find Alex, but I promise I’ll raise more funds soon!”
“Oh, but twenty is plenty right now,” Klaus said, “Let’s go get some resources for our workers- I know just what candy they need.”
And without question, Percy followed the two elves to the nearest store.
Alex saw her newest target- a Latino on the smaller side. She simply knew that he would be an easy scare- he was already looking extremely anxious. Besides, he was clearly dressed as some sort of dwarf appropriation, and Alex figured he should get a good scare for daring to do so.
She also figured he was probably unaware of his crimes, but that didn’t matter to her.
So, slowly, she stalked her way to the boy. She didn’t need to try too hard to be silent, as the noises from the party would cover any footsteps. She was hovering right next to the Latino’s shoulder as he turned around and screamed, high and shrill, for only a moment, as the ghost in front of him started cackling. Leo regained his breath for a moment.
“Geez, are you one of those undead that are visiting?” he eyed the ghostly figure in front of him, which casually nodded. “Sure am.” she answered, like a normal person and not at all like what Leo imagined La Llorona to sound like. At his scrutinizing gaze Alex felt like she should elaborate, “This is just a costume though.”
Leo nodded slowly, before properly looking at the costume.
“Sick costume! Did you have help from Blitzen making this?” he asked. “How do you know Blitzen? Either way, this is all homemade by yours truly.” she answered and Leo whistled.
“I just met the dude, uh, are you joining in the costume contest?” he asked and Alex shook her head. “Why not?” “If too many people see the costume I can’t freak anyone out anymore.” Alex shrugged, “Besides I have seen what Blitzen has made and there’s no way I am winning, it’s unfair.”
Leo eyed La Llorona for a moment, before casually looking to the side.
“If it’s unfair, you know you can bust the awards ceremony.” he suggested, “I live here, I know exactly where you could come from to scare everyone in the audience, if you aren’t a pussy at least.” It barely took a second for Alex to answer.
“I’m in.”
As you sit down between Calypso and Lester at the judges table, you look around searching for Jason or Leo, but neither is within sight. Holding back a groan, you put on an easy-going smile and signal to Calypso so she goes upstage and speaks to the crowd, announcing the costume competition.
As the contenders quickly gather backstage, Calypso explains what they’ll be basing their ratings on and how the crowd is allowed to interact with the process. The prize is, of course, a bag of drachmas and the opportunity to host next year’s Halloween party if the winner wishes to.
Calypso goes back to her seat giddily and calls out through the mic. “First contestant, you may come out now!”
While the competition comes through, you have one eye on the costumes and the other on the vents. If only you had a set of security cameras set up on this stupid table to switch channels every so often and see if the animatronics are getting closer or further away, now that would be helpful and certainly not scary at all.
When Annabeth comes up on the stage she’s holding a large, worn cloak over her body, and you all stay silent whispering about her strange choice and why she deemed it competition-worthy. That is, until she swirls the fabric with a dramatic flare and twirls, tossing the large cloak aside and revealing a highly realistic armour underneath.
Gasps are heard everywhere, and in the back you hear a girl squeal. “Oh gods, she’s Chappell Roan!”
Annabeth sighs. “I knew that would happen,” she raises her voice. “I’m Joan of Arc, guys, not Chappell! Love her music, though!”
Calypso, Lester, and you lean your heads closer together and whisper. “Okay so that is a pretty cool costume,” Lester starts. “I love Joan of Arc! She was super funny.”
“Mhm, not to be that guy, but if Annabeth wins she’ll get to host Halloween next year and you guys weren’t here to see that, but let me tell you, if she hosts that means Percy and Grover host, and you do not want to see how things go when they’re left in charge.”
“Yeah? And how’s it going for you tonight, hm?” Lester raises a brow.
“What?” Calypso looks slightly concerned. “Is something happening that I don’t know of?”
“Nothing, my sweet, stay in your bubble.” You pat her head distractedly. “Now, Lester, in my defense I’m not hosting, Leo and Calypso are. And the bad side of things is all Leo. However, you may’ve noticed Leo is nowhere to be found, so maybe he already fixed things while everyone was gathered here in a safe space!”
A dreadful high-pitched scratching comes from the ceiling and the vents when two dozen automatons fall out in a cascade of rusty old bodies. You wince, staring at the chaos as three of them fall too close to Annabeth.
“And that’s our queue to stop arguing!” You claim already halfway out of your seat and jumping over the table to fight the machines.
Lester makes his bow appear and Calypso pulls out a dagger from her ankle. You have no idea if she’s got any more hidden and if she also had them on while chilling and watching movies with all of you, but now there are worse things to worry about.
Annabeth stumbles back in shock when the automatons all start crawling towards her, and then a male voice shouts her name, getting her attention. “Your costume!” Blitzen shouts. “It works as real armor, you can fight!”
Annabeth seizes the banner she’d carried to the stage and twists it. It splits in half, creating two medium-sized spears with shiny silver points. “For le goulash!” She shouts before stabbing one of the robots in the head.
Your eye catches a glimpse of something squirming over your head just as you decapitate an automaton and you gasp. “Holy shit, is that a ghost bride?”
Lester squeaks out. “It’s Hecate!”
But you pale when the girl falls directly over an automaton and cuts right through his middle as if it were made of butter. “That’s not Hecate, that’s one of the undead!”
“That’s my friend Alex!” A short man runs past you smiling from ear to ear. “Mess them up, my friend!”
“Isn’t that…” You squint, but Lester tackles you before you can finish your thought.
From the ground you watch as a large guy dressed up as a bear tears the costume off his body and, in what can only be described as an act of pure madness, sticks a pumpkin over his head. A lit, real-life pumpkin.
You get up to help him but a guy, looking extremely similar to Jason but speaking in a more high panicky voice, urges you to run to the other side. “He’s fine he’s just excited, keep moving!”
“And who are you?” You demand, feeling like you’re suffering some kind of mass hallucinating from smelling Leo’s half-baked goulash.
“I’m Magnus!” He responds while his sword flies all around him slashing robots. You’re not very sure, but every time that thing flies past you, you could swear its humming the Monster Mash.
“Oh, Annabeth’s cousin! Didn’t know she invited you! So you must be the undead Nico sniffed!” You retort after tripping an animatronic and slamming it’s head against the ground.
The human Jack O’Lantern runs past you with the remnants of his costume now also on fire, but he really must have some thick skin, because it doesn’t seem to bother him. Next to him a red-haired girl dressed as Merida shouts instructions at him so he knows where to hit next, given that his vision sucks at the moment.
“Demigod life, am I right?” Magnus says with a hint of dry humour.
You smirk. “Dude, and you didn’t see our last year’s competition of cabin decorations for Christmas.”
“You guys celebrate Christmas? Aren’t you pagan and stuff?” Magnus pauses. “Oh no, am I the racist Legolas?”
“Duck!” You exclaim, slashing your sword just an inch above his head and cutting through a robot’s arm.
“Here’s the elf candy!” Percy comes through the main entrance holding a tote bag.
Hearthstone and Klaus stop behind him, the three of them coming to an abrupt halt when they see the carnage of metallic limbs and oil stains scattered across the room.
“What the hell happened?” Percy scowled, locking eyes with Leo. “Dude, I know your waiters were glitchy but you didn’t have to butcher them!” He walks up to one of the bodies and picks up the head. “The off switch is right there!”
You and Jason share the same infuriated look. “Would you like me to hold the goulash while you strangle him with your wig?”
“No need, I’m gonna choke him with the goulash,” he grumbles, walking away to get to Leo.
“Your prize,” Calypso comes up to Annabeth holding a small bag of drachmas. “Your costume is awesome. Good luck hosting Halloween next year, don’t ever ask me to do it again.”
“I don’t wanna host Halloween,” Annabeth scrunches up her nose. “I share a house with Percy!”
“Leonidas Valdez.”
Leo gulped- he had really hoped that Jo and Em wouldn’t notice anything amiss. They said they would be gone for most of the party week out of respect, but here they were, at the end of the party. He turned to his moms, trying to not look as guilty as he felt.
“What is the one thing we said you were not allowed to do?” Jo’s voice was strict, and Em was standing next to her with the same look on her face. “Go see the automatons, lest they activate.” Leo admitted, knowing there was no way out of this. “And what did you do?” Em asked. “I went to see the automatons, and they activated, BUT-” Leo took one second to see no interruptions from his moms, “We dealt with the problem now! Nobody got hurt, and you don’t have to worry about the automatons anymore!” Em and Jo looked at each other for a second, before looking around the mess that was the Waystation currently. “You’re off the hook for tonight, but you will face consequences Leo.” Jo said, before she and Em joined hands and walked off, probably not wanting to see the aftermath for much longer. Leo hoped he could convince the party goers to help clean up.
“Wow, I’ve never seen them that strict, even with me.” “HA!” Leo jumped up, only to come face to face with Lityerses, “Ah, sorry Lit. Didn’t hear you coming this way.” Lityerses shrugged. “Anyways, Jason is looking for you, something about wanting to dump goulash on your head. I would go to him before he gets to you.”
As the chaos settled down, Blitzen reunited with Hearthstone, asking why Hearthstone was here.
Klaus is a childhood acquaintance of mine. He also hates Alfheim. He invited me.
Blitzen nodded as he looked around the room, only to be interrupted by Hearthstone getting his attention and pointing at Leo- still dressed as a dwarf. Blitzen turned to Hearthstone with a questioning gaze, as his friend had mischief in his eyes. He’s just like you. Hearthstone signed. Blitzen glared at him, as he pointed to the guy dressed like an elf next to Leo, holding a pot of food. He’s just like you. Blitzen signed, and Hearthstone hit him softly. I don’t even like goulash. His friend signed back.
Before Blitzen could react, Halfborn, still partially on fire with the jack-o-lantern pattern, went up the stage. Somehow this sight of him alone quieted the room, as a manical grin was on his face. “HEY,” He started, loudly, “IF THIS IS HALLOWEEN EVERY YEAR, Y’ALL ARE INVITED TO VALHALLA NEXT YEAR.”
Nobody cheered, and the next sound was TJ, still impeccably dressed as Sherlock, getting on the stage too.
“Uh, Halfborn, love the enthusiasm, but most people here are not dead. So maybe Boston will do?” he suggested, and it took a split second for Halfborn to nod. Before he loudly made a new statement. “Y’ALL ARE INVITED TO HALLOWEEN IN BOSTON NEXT YEAR. NOW CHEER.”
That seemed to do the trick, as reluctant cheering broke out in the crowd. What just happened? Hearthstone asked Blitzen, who seemed a bit disappointed. We’re hosting Halloween next year. Blitzen answered.

Dark & Dragged
Halloweenverse fic 2! Not a lot of planning done for this one, but it has been written. Everyone who read the new book, how's our fics becoming canon working out for you? Request: no Pairing: Platonic stuff, includes Jason & Lityerses Word count: 850 Warnings: none! -Asnyox
“Wow, Leo had mentioned that the Waystation was creepy in the dark, but man,” Jason shuddered. Normally he had nerves of steel- nothing could get him and his Lupa taught bravery to stop. Yet- he had heard what happened yesterday from no uncertain source (Leo himself).
And it certainly didn’t help that he was lost. For some reason all the lights had gone off (might have been the thunderstorm outside), and Jason had really thought that the Waystation couldn’t be that big- but maybe he had simply been walking in circles. And Jason knew he was being followed- someone else was walking in the same circles and that meant that if he just-
“HA!” “AH!” you hit the aggressor in the face with the broom you were holding- soft side first, and started scrubbing him. It didn’t last long as Jason grabbed the stick handle and pushed the broom away. “(Y/n)? Why are you following me?” “You? Jason, to be honest, I am just a little lost.” you sighed, “And after yesterday I am NOT taking any chances, Grace. One of these doors should be welded shut- but I swear I have been hearing mechanical sounds everywhere, and I am not convinced that the cursed automatons can’t break out.”
“You were there?” Jason seemed intrigued- but before you could respond a loud, mechanical clang sounded behind you. You gasped, as you grabbed Jason’s hand and made a run for it.
You really hadn’t wanted to go back in here alone after what happened. To be entirely honest, you didn't want to be alone, period. But something bugged you- something being the thought of the automatons escaping and killing all your friends. The waystation didn’t have a security guard keeping watch, hence you felt obligated to check in on them for yourself, however scary that was. Luckily, Jason seemed to be hanging around dark hallways too. Unluckily, Jason seemed to be even more on edge than you were, and faster, as he took over and started pulling you.
Whatever it was that was following you would not let up. It knew the Waystation better than either of you- every turn you had to feel for it just took. You heard nothing over your labored breathing, except for mechanical clangs following you. This was it, this must have been the end. Unless-
A door, a way out. Jason let out a labored yell of surprise as he kept pulling you forward- he reached for the handle and-
The door was welded shut. The automaton following you should be on the other side, yet as you turned around it was towering over the two of you, and Jason and you screamed.
Lityerses was nervous. He never had expected to want to be a good host- but here he was, practicing to himself. Leo had explained all about Halloween a few years ago. It was some version of celebrations towards the triple goddess Hecate and heck (Lityerses wasn’t allowed to curse anymore) he had even gone trick treats with (Y/n) once. He knew the celebrations- yet now it was in his house. He had to make sure that the premises were safe. He had to make sure that the guests were comfortable. He had to make sure not to accidentally stab anyone. He had to make sure-
He didn’t know why he was this anxious for something that was not even life threatening. This feeling was also what set him on the move as soon as the power went out. He knew Leo could fix this easily- anyone living here could, but he was dead set on doing something.
Lityerses wasn’t silent when making his way over to the place where he thought he could just flip a switch to fix it (what was it called? a break?). He had two swords on him, a few knives strapped to his belt too, and a small bag filled with celestial bronze projectiles the size of pebbles that he could throw. Lityerses found comfort in carrying these weapons, and besides he wasn’t going to be caught unaware by what Leo described as “cursed mechanical bears”, after he tried to explain why cursed automatons were funny to Lityerses.
Yet- what if those darned automatons escaped? They could have turned off the power, and could be prowling these halls and-
Lityerses quickly turned as he saw something move in his peripheral, his swords clanging together. Right as his eyes locked on the perpetrator it ran away, and Lityerses started chasing it.
He quickly cornered the two he was chasing, sword at the ready to strike- as the lights flickered on and his targets started screaming. Lityerses quickly stepped back, and by the time he had sheathed his sword again, the screaming finally stopped.
And as he saw that his targets were actually two guests- he could only sigh. He would be a better host next time.
