Imagine Jordan being jealous you're with Luke:
They couldn't help it. Every time they saw you and him together, something snapped inside them. They twitched. Luke didn't deserve you. You were the smartest in the school. You were almost as powerful as Luke. You should have been number one, and you should have been with them. You two had more in common. You had the same sense of humor, the same drive, the same want to be the best. You were living in Golden Boys' shadow in class and in your relationship. They could treat you so much better. They could show you what an equal relationship looks like instead of just being known as the person dating Golden Boy. It wasn't right. You two had clicked instantly, and yet, you chose him over them. It didn't make any sense. They knew they had no right to you, to your emotions,but they were sure if you just gave them a chance that you would see that you were right for one another. Not you and Luke. You and Jordan.

The thin line between love and hate
Fifth part: "Astrid"
October 3, 2022
I was running through the corridors of God U, my heart pounding wildly in my chest and my feet sliding on the smooth floor. The watch on my wrist showed a time I never wanted to see: I was late, again.
My bag bounced on my shoulder, filled to the brim with books and notes that seemed to weigh twice as much while I ran. Each step echoed in the empty corridors.
"Hurry up, Astrid..." I muttered through clenched teeth, almost out of breath. I wished I could at least have a moment to catch my breath, but there was no time. The English Literature class had started last week, and it was held on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Today would be the fourth time in a row that I couldn't make it on time, and just the thought of entering that classroom full of already-seated students made my stomach knot.
I reached the classroom door, my breath ragged and my cheeks flushed from running. Without a second thought, I grabbed the handle and pushed, hurrying inside. The professor was already speaking, and her stern gaze hit me like a lightning bolt as soon as I crossed the threshold. I didn't dare look her in the eye, nor did I dare apologize yet again; I just wanted to get to my seat as quickly as possible.
But fate seemed determined to make me pay for every minute of lateness. As I tried to weave between the desks to find an empty chair, my foot caught on the edge of the rug, making me lose my balance. I let out a strangled cry as I fell forward, my hands desperately reaching for something, anything, to stop the fall. The sound of my books, pens, and all my belongings spilling out of my bag and scattering across the floor filled the room.
For a moment, time seemed to stop. I could feel all the students' eyes on me, like spotlights illuminating me in a scene of a drama I had never wanted to perform. I felt my face flush immediately, a mix of shame and anger burning my cheeks. I bent down to pick up my things, trying to ignore the growing murmurs around me.
"Great start, Astrid," I thought bitterly as I grabbed the pens and shoved them back into my bag. I wished I could disappear, vanish into a dark corner of the room where no one could see me anymore.
But then, amid my trembling hands and scattered books, someone knelt down beside me. I hadn't even noticed that one of the students sitting in the front rows had gotten up to help me. He was a tall guy with blond hair and a kind look in his eyes that seemed to convey more than his words could express. He handed me a notebook and a book that had slid far away, and our eyes met for a moment.
I was speechless, caught by those clear eyes that looked at me with a mix of curiosity and concern. He seemed like he wanted to say something but couldn't find the right words. He helped me up with a gentle gesture, and I thanked him shyly, my voice barely a whisper. I was so embarrassed that I couldn't even hold his gaze, but at the same time, I couldn't take my eyes off his face.
"Thank you," I mumbled, feeling the warmth that continued to rise on my cheeks.
"You're welcome," he replied, his tone calm and reassuring.
We stayed silent for a moment, our eyes still fixed on each other. It was one of those moments that seem to last longer than they should, one of those brief instants when you forget everything around you and let yourself be carried away by something bigger. But reality crashed down on us like a bucket of cold water.
"Miss Steenwijk, this is the fourth time you've been late to my lessons," the professor's shrill voice startled me, yanking me back to reality. I turned towards the desk, finding the stern gaze of the woman aimed directly at me. "Don't you think you should learn to be more punctual?"
Her words were harsh, cutting, and I felt each letter hit me like a punch to the chest. I didn't trust my voice; I knew that if I tried to speak, the lump tightening my throat would betray me.
"I'm sorry, Professor," I finally managed to say, my voice weak and despondent. I tried not to lower my gaze, but I felt myself sinking into the floor under the weight of her words.
"Sorry isn't enough, Miss Steenwijk," the professor continued, without a hint of understanding. "If you intend to follow this course, you'll need to learn to respect the schedule like all the other students. It is unacceptable for you to be late every single time."
I nodded without arguing. There was nothing I could say to defend myself, and I knew that every word would only make things worse. I quickly made my way to an empty seat, keeping my head down and shoulders slumped, trying to make as little noise as possible. I sat down and tried to hide behind my books, hoping the lesson would resume soon and everyone would shift their focus to something other than me.
The boy who had helped me returned to his seat without saying another word, but I could still feel the weight of his gaze on me. I had never liked being the center of attention, and at that moment, I felt as though every single flaw, every single mistake, was on full display for everyone to see. I just hoped the rest of the lesson would pass as quickly as possible, that the embarrassment would dissolve with time.
The lesson ended more slowly than I would have liked. I got up from my chair as soon as the professor's voice, which had dominated the classroom, faded away, and I quickly gathered my things. I didn't want to stay there a minute longer than necessary.
I grabbed my bag, still slightly out of breath, and left the classroom, heading toward the campus exit. The hum of conversations around me was just an indistinct background noise as I walked briskly, almost running. All I wanted was to get out of there and regain control of my day.
Once outside the building, I immediately saw the black car with tinted windows waiting for me. The driver, a man in his fifties with perfectly combed gray hair and an impassive demeanor, opened the back door for me without a word. I sat on the soft leather seat and sighed in relief as the car silently pulled away, leaving the chaos of the campus behind.
My uncle Alexander had arranged to meet me at a very exclusive restaurant in the city center, one of those places I had never seen, nor would I have imagined visiting if not for him. He had told me he was about to buy it and wanted to show it to me in advance. Despite my mixed mood, the idea intrigued me. Alexander always had impeccable taste, and anything he touched turned into something unique.
When we arrived, the driver opened the door for me, and I stepped out onto the street, trying to focus on the restaurant's façade. It was a historic building with large decorated windows and an elegant sign indicating the name: Le Jardin de Verre. I entered and was immediately greeted by an atmosphere of understated luxury, with dark wood furnishings, crystal chandeliers, and green plants hanging from the ceiling like a suspended garden. The air smelled of fresh flowers and exotic spices.
My uncle was already seated at a table in a secluded area of the restaurant, a quiet corner away from the other guests. He was wearing an impeccable dark suit, and when he saw me, his face lit up with a smile that softened his features and made him look almost younger.
"Astrid, darling!" he said, standing up and coming toward me with open arms. "You get more beautiful every time I see you." He hugged me tightly, giving me that warm feeling of familiarity that only he could.
"I'm happy to see you, Uncle," I replied with a sincere smile, hugging him back. It felt like coming home.
We sat down at the table, and Alexander looked at me for a moment with his penetrating gaze, always attentive to details, capable of reading even the thoughts I tried to hide. But soon, his smile faded slightly, replaced by a hint of concern.
"What's wrong, my beauty? You look upset," he said gently, tilting his head to one side. "You seem so thoughtful. Is something bothering you?"
I felt a bit silly admitting the reason for my bad mood, but with Alexander, I had never had to hide. "It's just that... this morning, I got scolded by my English Literature professor. It's the fourth time I've been late to her class, and today she reprimanded me in front of the whole class." The words spilled out, my tone frustrated and a bit embarrassed. "I always feel like I'm rushing, always out of sync. I can never seem to get there on time, no matter how hard I try. I set the alarm, do my best, but I always end up being late."
My uncle smiled and burst into a sincere laugh, without a hint of reproach. "Oh, Astrid, sweetheart. This reminds me so much of when you were little. You were always late to school, piano lessons, even your own birthday parties! You haven't changed a bit."
I couldn't help but smile, even though the memory was bittersweet for me. "I know... but now I'm in university. I should be more responsible. I can't keep acting like a child."
Alexander shook his head and looked at me with a fondness that made me feel a little less guilty. "Don't be so hard on yourself, my dear. You've made a big leap by coming to God U. You're smart, capable, and talented. If you're late once in a while, it's not the end of the world."
I nodded, appreciating his attempt to cheer me up. We talked some more, ordered food, and I felt a bit more relaxed as I told him about my first days at Godolkin University.
"I've started the basic Criminology courses," I explained as we ate the appetizer. "Heroic Ethics, Understanding Branding... they're interesting, although sometimes a bit challenging. It's all very different from high school, and I'm still trying to find my rhythm. But I think I'll manage."
Alexander nodded, listening attentively. I always enjoyed talking to him about my studies; it was as if every time I shared a detail, even the most insignificant, I could bring him a little joy. And yet, I knew there was a question Alexander was eager to ask me, the one he posed every time we saw each other.
And sure enough, it didn't take long.
"So, Astrid, tell me," he said with a mischievous smile as we finished the first course. "Have you met any cute boys on campus? Anyone who's caught your eye?"
I rolled my eyes and gave him a look I knew he wouldn't misinterpret. It was a topic Alexander never failed to touch on whenever he could. "Uncle, really?" I sighed, trying not to sound too annoyed. "This isn't the time to think about these things. I'm trying to settle in, to focus on my studies."
Alexander raised his hands in surrender, but a playful smile was still plastered on his face. "Alright, alright, I get it. I'm not trying to push you. It's just that... you're young, you're beautiful, and I can't help but hope you find someone who makes you happy. It's not a crime, you know?"
I shrugged, trying to drop the subject, but he kept looking at me with his curious and affectionate gaze. "And if you haven't found a boyfriend, maybe a nice girl... friends, someone to spend time with. You know how much I care that you don't feel alone."
I tried to hide the smile tugging at my lips. Alexander had always been protective, and even though he could sometimes seem intrusive, I knew he did it only because he wanted the best for me. "Don't worry about me, Uncle. I'm not alone."
He nodded, uncertain about my answer, but his gaze didn't leave my face, searching for something that perhaps even I wasn't ready to say out loud. "And Michael?" he finally asked cautiously. "Is there something I should know about him?"
I shook my head, trying not to let my uncertainty show. "Technically, I still have a boyfriend," I said with a half-smile that didn't reach my eyes. "But... things are complicated."
My uncle sighed, and his expression immediately shifted from that of a loving confidant to a disappointed protector. "Sweetheart, you know what I think of Michael," he said, shaking his head in disapproval. "I've never liked that boy, and it's not because I'm overprotective or because I want you to have a Prince Charming by your side. It's because he's never been worthy of you, and I've told you that from the very first day."
I looked at him, surprised by his direct reaction. Alexander had always been cautious in his judgments, but when it came to Michael, he couldn't hide his disdain. "Uncle, I know you don't like him..." I tried to explain, but he raised a hand to stop me.
"Listen to me carefully, Astrid," he said, his voice firm but full of concern. "Michael has never been a reliable guy, too focused on himself and his stupid ambitions. He's never put you first, and honestly, I don't think he ever will. What's happened recently is just confirmation of what I've always suspected."
I bit my lip, trying not to be overwhelmed by his words. I knew Alexander was right, at least in part. Michael had disappointed me more than once, and the incident with his betrayal had hurt me more than I wanted to admit. But there was still a part of me that struggled to let him go, a part that continued to hope things could be fixed.
"I don't want to see you wasting your time and energy on someone who doesn't deserve you," Alexander continued, his tone now softer but firm. "You don't have to settle, Astrid. You're a brilliant girl with an extraordinary future ahead of you. Michael is just a shadow holding you back, and you're not meant to live in anyone's shadow."
I lowered my gaze, struggling with the emotions swirling inside me. I knew he spoke from the heart, that he only wanted to protect me. The problem was, he didn't know the whole story. In truth... no one did, except me and Michael.
Alexander squeezed my hand, his touch reassuring and determined. "Promise me you'll think about it, Astrid," he said with a gentle smile. "And that you'll never let anyone make you feel less than you are."
I nodded, grateful for his support. "I'll think about it, Uncle. I promise."
After a few more laughs and some light jokes, I felt that lunch was coming to an end. My uncle had lifted my spirits, as always, but there was a question that had been spinning in my mind since we sat down at the restaurant. Alexander was always busy, and a spontaneous lunch with me, without a specific reason, was quite rare.
I leaned back in my chair, absentmindedly playing with the edge of my water glass. "Uncle, anyway... all this has been lovely, but why did you ask me to have lunch with you today? Is there a particular reason?"
Alexander smiled and took a moment before answering, as if he was carefully choosing his words. "Astrid, you know I love spending time with you, but today I had an extra reason to see you." He paused, and his smile widened. "I was thinking of taking you shopping."
I looked at him, puzzled, trying to figure out where he was going with this. "Shopping? Really? It didn't seem like the kind of thing you'd ask me to meet for."
Alexander laughed, enjoying my reaction. "It's not just any shopping, dear. I wanted to take you to pick out something special for the charity gala organized by Vought. You know, the one I told you about..."
I nodded, though the thought alone made me uncomfortable. I had received the invitation only a few days before, and since then, I had been hoping to find a valid excuse not to go. It felt like yet another event where I had to play a role that didn't suit me, where everyone expected something from me just because of my last name.
"Oh, right... that gala," I replied with a tone heavy with sarcasm, crossing my arms. "Yeah, I got the invite, sure. But you know how much I love these kinds of things, right?"
Alexander smiled, a little amused and a little sympathetic. He knew well my aversion to social events, and even though he understood, I knew he'd still prefer to have me by his side on every occasion. "I know you're not thrilled, Astrid. And I understand why. But it's important to me. This evening is a chance to present you officially in front of my colleagues and other guests. I want everyone to see how special you are."
I sighed, feeling the weight of his words on me. It wasn't just about having to attend: I knew how much it meant to him. He wanted everyone to know who I was, to see me as the heir to something great. But to me, it was just another mask to wear, another moment where I felt out of place.
Alexander, noticing my disappointment, leaned forward and gently took my hand, flashing one of his smiles that could melt even ice. "Listen, my darling niece... I know I'm asking a lot, but trust me: I'll make this much more pleasant for you."
I looked at him with a raised eyebrow, curious to know what trick he had up his sleeve this time. My uncle had always been a master at sweetening even the most bitter pill. "And what do you have in mind?" I asked, already suspecting where he was headed.
"If you come to the gala and stay by my side all evening, I'll give you a gift you can't refuse," he said with a conspiratorial smile. "I want you to choose a piece of jewelry to wear that night, something unique and special, just like you. Something that will shine as brightly as you do."
I couldn't help but smile. Alexander knew me all too well and knew exactly where to strike: my weakness for anything that sparkles. I was aware that he was bribing me, but there was something incredibly affectionate and disarming about the way he did it.
"A piece of jewelry, huh?" I said, trying to mask my interest with feigned indifference. "So this is your big strategy, Uncle? Trying to buy me off with shiny things?"
Alexander burst out laughing, a warm and sincere laugh that echoed in the restaurant. "Oh, Astrid, my dear, it's not bribery if you benefit too. And admit it, I know you have a thing for sparkly things. Everyone knows, even the streetlights back home!"
I looked at him, pretending to be offended, but it was impossible not to laugh along with him. "Alright, I admit it, maybe I do like shiny things," I replied with a playful smile. "But you're still a skilled corrupter."
Alexander squeezed my hand and looked at me affectionately, with that sly smile of someone who knows they've won the game. "Maybe so, but I do it because I know how special you are, and I want you to feel your best that night. And with something sparkling on, I know you'll shine even brighter."
I gave in with a small laugh, knowing he had reeled me in. I nodded, though part of me was still a little reluctant about attending. "Okay, Uncle, I'm in. But know that I'm only doing this because it's you and because I want to see what jewelry you have in mind."
Alexander raised his hands in victory, with a satisfied smile. "I knew you'd give in. You've made an old uncle very happy today. I can't wait to see you shine that night!"
I found myself laughing, struck by how Alexander always managed to turn the situation in his favor. It was impossible to say no to my uncle, especially when he pulled out the heavy artillery: affection, pampering, and... diamonds. In the end, with a piece of jewelry around my neck and my uncle by my side, maybe that evening wouldn't be as daunting as I thought. And besides, let's be honest: with something that sparkles, everything always seems a bit more bearable.

— here comes the sun ꣑ৎ‧₊˚.
warnings: just headcannons pairing: riordanverse boys x daughter of apollo
percy jackson loves how good you are with your bow and arrow. he sucks majorly at archery so when you found this out you did everything in your power to teach him to be just as good as you were. this took four months. but! the good thing was that he learned eventually. it took this long solely because every time you were explaining something his eyes would trail down to your lips and he’d zone out and one thing leads to another now he’s kissing you and now you’re kissing back and now you’re not even in the archery field anymore— it’s a whole thing. during the fourth month you got sick of his nonsense and forced him to finally listen to your words and he ended up finally learning basic archery (he later earned a reward for his obedience). besides your great archer skills you’re also skilled at painting. like usual, percy loves to fool around. you’ll have your canvas out and paint sprawled along your pallet but this dumbass takes a finger of paint a spreads it over your face. you both end up covered in paint and your work long forgotten. you made a mental note never to let him paint with you again, but knowing percy and his gorgeous sea green eyes you had no choice but to let him join you again. though you do warn him not to play around with your paint or he’d wake up blue (he probably wouldn’t mind this though)
jason grace is utterly obsessed with your singing voice— most to all nights this is the only thing that can soothe him to sleep. but not even just during the evening, it’s basically mostly throughout the day when you’re singing to him. sometimes you even play a variety of musical instruments to add onto the factor (he ended up learning how to play piano thanks to you). and!! another thing he loves about you is your poetry, especially when the poems are about him, those make his knees go all weak and his cheeks flush pink and he’s such a school girl, it’s ridiculous. but he loves your poems regardless if they’re about him or not, he likes listening to your sweet-like-honey voice and your extremely high vocabulary (gods, he loves your high vocab). along with your love for poems you also share a love for reading, often you’ll find old books to read together, whether it’s together, or separately then you talk about them later, he adores talking about nerdy books together. and since writing is something dear to you and your siblings you wrote your own novel some day with the help of your boyfriend (he’s your number one supporter), including a sweet dedication to him as a thank you and an I love you
leo valdez takes advantage of your healing abilities. every hour he shows up in the infirmary with a new injury whether it’s a small cut or something serious. after a while you started to realize he was purposely hurting himself so he could see you during your work. you scolded him for this and told him you’d much more appreciate his visits if he wasn’t hurt all the time. so after you told him this he started spending less time with his trinkets and getting hurt and more time bothering you in the infirmary (additionally bothering your patients). you’ve found, though, it’s not so easy to care for your patients when your boyfriend has permanently attached himself to you, you eventually had to restrict him from seeing you during your working hours. but do you think this would stop him? no it did not. every day he would wait for you outside as you work, your siblings scold him and tell you to take care of him so that resulted in you getting kicked out of the infirmary too. though with this new free time and all your siblings busy you were able to get the cabin all to yourselves!!
luke castellan is pretty sure every room you walk into instantly brightens up with beams of sunshine (not even figuratively, he really does believe this). your aura is enough the blind the regular man— but lucky for luke he is no regular man, he’s your boyfriend. unfortunately, this does have its downsides, which includes you waking up at the literal ass crack of dawn watching as the sun rises. slowly and carefully you slip yourself from his arms to sit on the porch of cabin eleven as you watch the sky switch from a dark purple/black hue to various colors including orange, pink, or yellow (sometimes all three if your dad is feeling generous enough). over time, though, luke realizes you aren’t in his arms anymore— the first time this happened he was confused and searched frantically for you, but eventually he gets used to you waking up early. on some mornings he will sit outside with you (he loves the way your irises get all bright and yellow at this time of day), he likes how everything is quiet and tranquil and this is one of the only times he’s able to spend alone time with you. he savors these moments over anything else in his life

—would’ve, could’ve, should’ve
pairing: luke castellan x fem!poseidon!reader
summary: you try to live with the loss of luke castellan and the betrayal he brought upon you
warning: angst
notes: the timeline is all over the place lmao. i haven't read the books yet (i probably will in the future) so i have no idea how or when luke got claimed. i just made it up for the sake of the story, hope that's alright :)
the wind splashed in your face like the ocean did when you would throw your body in the water. it was different, colder than it normally was. you weren’t used to the shiver your body felt, you had always felt at ease at camp halfblood.
now it was nothing like it used to be.
percy and annabeth were down at the camp, far away from the cliffside you were standing on, probably consoling each other.
you had felt nothing but loneliness from the moment he had left.
not even your brother or annabeth could’ve done something to change that.
you felt almost the same you did the day you came to camp. afraid and nervous, hands holding on to luke as you ran after him. thalia, annabeth and grover not far behind you.
but you had felt a bit of familiarity that day too. everything was new to you, but luke wasn’t. you had grown up together, experiencing the first effects of being a half-god side by side. there was no one who could take on the role he had held for you.
you stared into the clouds, the width of the sky in front of you, as your mind wandered back.
“look at the water!” annabeth called loudly.
your hand gripped luke’s arm, as both of you watched the giant wave travel to the shore.
“poseidon” an unknown boy behind you muttered and luke and you exchanged glances.
the wave broke down right in front of you, soft water glistening onto your feet as the lake opened up, perfectly wide enough for you to stand in without getting wet.
“what?” you mumbled, as the water fell back into its position right as luke was trying to follow you. it drenched you completely, but as your hand moved forward it bend away beneath your touch, moving just as you guided it to.
“she got claimed by poseidon” a few girls muttered in awe.
“claimed?” you repeated, still standing in the lake. you looked at luke, as if he knew any better than you.
you had to move out of the hermes cabin the same day and into a shed that felt less like a home and more like a punishment.
you had been overwhelmed at the bustling loudness of the hermes cabin at first, but now you were missing it. luke slept next to you for the first week, until you decided that you had to do this on your own. still, luke spend every evening with you, until the last alarm rang out and he had to leave if he didn’t want to be caught outside after nighttime (or eaten by harpies).
luke and you only grew closer during your time at camp. you did everything together. people got used to it quickly, always pointing out if one of you was missing.
luke found solace in your presence, telling you about his shattered hope regarding his father, someone who was still unknown to him. and you felt bad about it. it had taken days for you to be claimed and luke was still in the dark after months.
it was simply unfair.
you couldn't always relate to his frustration regarding the gods, because your father tried to reach you in forms that was allowed, shipping letters or presents your way, but you always listened to him, understanding that he was going through something different and he desperately needed someone on his side.
to say that luke's claiming was a bit of a let down was an understatement. luke had hoped so long for something that all his expectations had been incredibly low and hermes still managed to undercut them even further.
he didn't bother to pay attention to any of his children, none of them were treated as if they were more than just one piece of a big puzzle.
a letter arrived in the middle of july, listing a bunch of names that hermes had concluded to be those of his children. luke was included on the list. it was nothing special, nothing worth of a mention.
luke stayed in the hermes cabin and lost a bit of hope with each day passing without hearing from his father.
sometimes he found his anger directed at your father, who seemed all the more caring than his own. and although he didn't wish for you to go through the same grief he had gone through, he sometimes wondered what it would feel like to have you understand his experiences.
time passed and luke stopped mentioning his father or anything about the gods completely. you tried to ask him about it, but he claimed to have moved on, not caring for the attention of someone who couldn't be bothered to give it.
that was about the time you started seeing luke in a different light. he was no longer the little boy you had grown up along, he was almost a man, features loosing their boyish touch and dissolving into something more grown. something you had never seen in him before.
it was like getting to know him all over again.
it seemed like it wasn't any different with luke as he suddenly grew interested in the kind of perfume you were using or the little rings on your fingers when your hand would rest on his biceps a little too long.
the infaturation came fast, almost overnight and neither of you was ready to longer deny what was so clearly happening between you.
luke and you started dating that same year. it was the first relationship for the both of you and everything felt special. you couldn't have asked for a better boyfriend. he was kind and funny, always kept an eye on you wherever you went and quickly became the most important person in your life.
faster than you noticed, your whole life revolved around luke castellan. maybe that was why you felt like you had lost everything the night that he left.
you were dating for more than a year by the time percy showed up at camp.
those few days were probably the last you had truly been happy. you had a brother now, he was lovely and you immediately formed a bond with each other, having had similiar experiences regarding the truth about your father.
you remembered the night so clearly. it was like a never ending flashback in your hand.
you were taking a drink out of gina's hand, right as annabeth came running through the forest.
"y/n!" she called, her voice slumping down when she noticed you not far away. "percy" she simply said when you turned around. the distress on her face was enough to make you follow her.
luke looked up at the sound your footsteps were making. and annabeth quickly threw something, that made him let go of what he was holding. you realized too late that it was a sword.
percy was laying on the ground in front of luke. your features turned into a frown, when you looked at your brother and back at your boyfriend.
"y/n" luke said, surprise and worry in his voice. "annabeth"
you were so confused. you didn't even know what was going on. but what he had planned to do send shivers down your spine.
"i heard everything" annabeth said.
luke looked at you, like he was quietly asking if you had heard it too.
you shook your head. "what have you done?" you stepped around annabeth, who tried to hold you back without any luck. you stopped to glance up at him.
luke averted his eyes, feeling your breath against his neck, as your head was still recoiled backwards.
"look at me!" you said loudly, warningly, and you could see the muscles moving in his chin, a frown evident on his mouth.
"he's with kronos" percy announced, before luke had the chance to say something.
the rest of the memory was in a blur, but you clearly remembered your tears. tears of confusion, of betrayal, of hurt. that someone so close to you would betray everything you had fought so hard for? it seemed unfair to say the least.
and that someone was luke, your luke. you didn't even recognize him anymore.
you remembered his hand reaching out for you, the pleading look in his eyes, the silent question, to come with him and leave everything you loved behind. but you shook your head, turning away from him. you didn't even want to look at him. you would rather remember who he had been all those years before.
"sorry" he had muttered and neither annabeth nor you had been fast enough to stop him, as he ran away and through the portal he had opened.
now luke castellan was just a memory that haunted you. like a ghost that never really left your side. you missed him so dearly. all while you wished that he would stay far away at the same time. it was confusing and you hated that you were still so in love with him after everything he had done to you friends, your brother and even you.
you threw his chain into the relentless waves of the sea beneath you, before you walked back into the forest and away from the cliff.
"i haven't seen you all day" percy stood up and fell into a quick step beside you, when he saw you approaching.
"i was up on the cliff" you shrugged.
"oh" he muttered.
he had been following you around camp relentlessly after luke had left a few days ago. the hurt was still fresh, but felt so distant at the same time. percy was worried about you, you could clearly read that from the expression on his face.
he treated you like someone had just died. and that wasn't even far off.
"have you eaten anything?" he asked, not giving up.
"i didn't feel hungry" you mumbled. "where's annabeth?" she had been the only one who could at least somewhat understand what you were feeling. luke had been like a brother to her and both of you were now collateral damage on his path to power.
"you should really eat something" percy retored, matter of factly. "she went to change. i accidently spilled some ketchup on her shirt"
you halted in your step, turning to face your brother who looked up at you with a curious look in his eyes.
"don't ever change" you whispered, reaching out and hugging him close to your chest.
"what?" he mumbled against your body.
you pressed a kiss onto his head, before you let go of him. "thank you for being so caring" you smiled softly. "i will get through this, but i wouldn't without you"
"of course you would" percy shook his head and pushed his hands against his hips. "he's just a boy"
"no" your voice was soft and you tried hard not to let it break in front of him. you had done a pretty good job at avoiding to cry when percy was around you. "he was so much more to me"
percy sighed, but finally nodded. "yeah," he muttered, almost to himself "i get it."
you smiled sadly, appreciating his attempt to understand. the silence stretched between you, the rustling of the trees and the distant crashing of waves filling the space.
then, percy took a deep breath and glanced out at the horizon. "you know," he said, his voice quiet but firm. "the hardest thing isn’t losing someone. it’s realizing that no matter what they’ve done, you still carry the good parts of them with you."
you blinked, surprised by the depth of his words. he met your gaze, his eyes filled with a mixture of compassion and resolve. "and that’s okay. it’s okay to hold onto that. to let yourself feel it. but it’s also okay to let go when you're ready. you loved luke for who he was, not for what he was going to become"
for a moment, you just stood there, absorbing his words. percy, the little brother you never expected, was showing you a wisdom that went far beyond his years.
"yeah, you might be right about that" you said as soon as the words returned to you. "when have you gotten so wise?"
"well, nearly dying does all sorts of things with you"
you smiled, pulling him against you once more. "thank you for coming back home, percy"
"we're in this together now" he assured. "i never had a sister before, but i will try my best to be a good brother"
"you already are an amazing brother, you know?" you said softly. "but you're so much more to me, too"
at that, he send you a look that would probably cure your nightmares for days to come. you and luke had relied on each other all your life, but now he was gone and you had to learn to accept that.
now someone else was relying on you and you promised to not let it come this far again. you would make sure that percy jackson would never experience all the disappointments and frustration you and luke had to endure throughout the years.
you would make sure that percy never felt unwanted or less loved like kids who had normal parents.
you would not fail percy like you had failed luke.

Nobody’s son, nobody’s daughter
Pairing: Luke Castellan x Poseidon!Reader
Summary: You loved him, and you left him, years later you met again, now hunter and pray.
Warnings: hurt, self-fulfilling prophecies, Lovers to Enemies, english is not my native language
Word Count: 1k
(i. You’re in the wind, I’m in the water)
Prophecies had a funny way to become true. The more you did to prevent them, the more you helped to fulfill them. Asked Laius, King of Thebes. He gave away his son Oedipus because it was prophesied that his son would kill him. At the end Oedipus killed Laius because he didn’t know that the King was his father. Not to mention that Oedipus, after killing Laius, married his own mother, hence it’s called Oedipus complex, if someone is interested in one of his parents. All of this could have been prevented if Laius had not tried to stop the prophecy. You had thought that would be enough for everyone to learn the lesson about self-fulfilling prophecies and trying to meddle with fate.
But that was before you learned about the Great Prophecy given by the Oracle over seventy years ago. A prophecy which was hanging over you like a sword of Damocles since you had arrived at camp and your father had claimed you.
The prophecy in question said, that a kid of one of the big three, had to save or damn the Olympus at the sweet age of sixteen. Right now, you were the only known child of one of the big three. A few years back, there had been another child, Thalia, daughter of Zeus, but she died on the border of Camp Half-Blood. Now the responsibility felt solely on your shoulders, and you hated it. Some days you would love nothing more than to scream at your father, Poseidon. But you were already cursed enough, you didn’t want to draw his wrath onto yourself. You just wanted peace. You just wanted to turn sixteen without having to save Olympus. Was that too much to ask for? It seemed so.
“Sometimes I hate everything about being a half blood”, you told your boyfriend Luke Castellan, son of Hermes, as you two were sitting at the beach, watching the waves hitting the shore. The sun was slowly setting, painting the clouds about your heads in a mix of orange and pink. He was sitting behind you with his arms around you and his chin was resting on your shoulder. He was the golden boy of the camp, and you were glad, that he had found interest in you. You, who had been cursed with this prophecy. The fate of the world was resting on your shoulders and that didn’t make you easier to love. But he loved you and was possibly the only reason you hadn't freaked out from sheer fear yet. Fear about what was to come, fear about messing it all up.
“It's not fair what everyone expects from you, but you are handling it so well, love”, he whispered in your ears and feeling his hot breath on your skin, you closed your eyes. If you could, you would stay at this moment forever. The soft rushing of the waves in the air, his warm hands on your body, the peace of your mind.
“I love you”, turning in his embrace, you gazed into his beautiful brown eyes. You loved him more than you could ever put into words. You loved to watch him comfort the younger kids, flying through air with his winged shoes or sword fighting in the area.
“I love you more, and I will always stay by your side”, he promised, before connecting his lips with yours.
Later, you would realize, that this promise was meant to be broken, like all promises.
Luke broke his promise, that he would always stay by your side, in the cruelest way possible. Your sixteen’s birthday was less than two weeks away, when he got a quest from his father. He could have taken you with him, but in the end he didn't. He left you back at camp, according to him, for your own protection. He left you when you needed him the most.
Your dreadful birthday came closer and closer, and you couldn’t take it. In the end your angst was stronger than your love for him, and you did the only thing you could think of to prevent the prophecy. You left camp and Luke behind and joined the Hunters of Artemis to stop aging.
(ii. Nobody’s son, nobody’s daughter)
Years later you met again. Everything had changed except your appearance. You looked frozen in time, still like the girl that he left behind at camp all those years ago. But everything else had changed.
He was older, a gruesome scar adored his face and, in his eyes, laid no more kindness. He was no longer Hermes son; he was a traitor. You were no longer Poseidon’s daughter; you were a huntress. You were no longer lovers; you were the hunter, and he was your prey.
Putting an arrow in your bow, you took aim. But something was holding you back, you couldn’t shoot.
“Y/N!”, finally he took notice of you. Years ago, there was love in his voice, when he addressed you, now there was only pain. He had hurt you, and you had hurt him, that was the way things went. And now you would kill him for his treason.
Letting go of the arrow, it pierced through the air, the feathers were caressing his face, before the arrow embedded itself in the trunk next to Luke's head. Both of you knew, that if you really had wanted to kill him, he would have been dead. But in the pit of your stomach was something that felt like regret. Something that stopped you from piercing his forehead with your arrow.
He left you first, but he returned. You never returned. He returned from a failed quest to find out his girlfriend left him, to join the maiden hunt. That wasn’t an excuse to swear an oath to Kronos, but by wanting to prevent the prophecy you pushed Luke in the wrong direction. Now it was the job of your younger half brother to safe Olympus, he was the kid of the prophecy, thanks to you.
“The next time I see you, I will kill you”, your stern voice left no room for doubt. You wouldn’t miss your next shot.
“Run!”, you didn't have to tell Luke twice. Like a hare fleeing from a wolf, he ran away. It hurt to see him running away instead towards you. Maybe that would help to finally learn your lesson about self-fulfilling prophecies.

Marie: I'm so happy, I could kiss you!
Jordan: Um...Neat.
*later*
Jordan, lying face down on their bed: I said "Neat," Andre. Who the fuck says neat these days? It's not neat to say neat but I said it anyways because I'm fucking stupid.
Andre, reading a book: Don't beat yourself up too much, Jordan. Everyone gets nervous sometimes. Remember what I did when Cate and Luke confessed their love for me?
Jordan: Didn't you thank them?
Andre: *closes the book and looks at the ceiling* I fucking thanked them.

Imagine trying to talk down Luke:
"Luke, look at me. It'll be okay. Just calm down, okay?"
"Okay. . . " The flames around his body disappeared. Luke stepped closer to you, your open arms, embracing you. He was holding you tight and you reciprocated. His skin was still hot. Whatever happened, whatever was wrong, it scared him. Luke was Golden Boy. He had a perfect image to uphold. This wouldn't hurt it too much, but he would definitely hear from the higher ups about this. Vought would certainly try to clean it up. You didn't care about that, though. You didn't care about the other students with their phones out or the whispers. You just wanted Luke to be okay, to be safe. You rubbed his back, feeling him shake in your arms. He cried on your shoulder, his words tangled together. You could only pinpoint a few of them before you hushed him, trying to comfort him as much as possible. If he was going to explain, he had to be calm. He was talking about his brother, but you couldn't decipher the rest. "Okay." He repeats, his voice fragile. What happened? Who did this? Luke was big and bright, like the sun. He was unbeatable. Now? Now he was falling apart.
"It's okay, we'll figure it out together, whatever it is. I promise."

The Man Who Sold The World | Luke Castellan
Spotify Playlist Link
Katherine. She was the one who started it all for Luke Castellan, the reason he did what he did.
Warnings: Mature themes/language. Violence. Smut. Switch dynamic. Praise. Rough sex. Oral(both receiving). Slight choking. Overstimulation. Spitting. Blood. Minors DNI.
Chapter Eight
Chapter Nine: Coney Island Baby
After their return from Hades, Luke and Katherine slept for an entire two days. They were exhausted beyond understanding. It had taken Luke a while to readjust to mortal luxuries, like time and space.
Luke eventually woke one morning to sunlight pouring in through the window, a welcome improvement from their time in the Underworld. Katherine slept beside him in their shared bed, and all was well at the moment. He knew to relish in the present calmness, as it naturally wouldn’t last.
He was happy to wake up without anywhere they had to go, or a nightmare to recover from. Luke was pretty sure he’d had a nightmare some time in the first few hours of sleeping, but eventually, so much time had passed he’d since forgotten them. He laid in the hotel bed with his feet curled into his body as Katherine faced him, mirroring his body language.
“You okay?” she asked softly, a smile on her face for what felt like the first time in forever.
He nodded, genuinely able to mirror that smile. “Yeah. I’m okay. I feel a lot better.”
“Me too,” Katherine nodded. “I feel like the Underworld really fucked us up.”
“Yeah… I guess we have more to be haunted by than most people.”
“We should do something fun,” she sighed, “And not be miserable for once.”
“I think… that’s a really good idea,” Luke decided, his voice still deep from exhaustion. “I’ll take you wherever you wanna go.”
“Really?”
He nodded. “Mm-hmm.”
“I wanna go to Coney Island,” she said slowly. “I’ve never been. I wanna know what Lou Reed was talking about.”
“Okay,” Luke agreed, not needing any further reasoning. “Coney Island it is.”
It felt great to the both of them waking up at 2 PM. As Luke finished his shower, towel still wrapped around his waist, he heard Katherine speaking, but couldn’t hear the words. Opening the bathroom door, he emerged with wet hair.
“What’s that?”
Standing coquettishly against the wall, in only an oversized shirt that he’d lent to her, she didn’t bother to hide the grin on her face as she spoke.
“What should I wear?” she asked.
This was a question Luke never expected from Katherine. He’d always felt that she was a very confident sort of person, the kind of person who just always woke up knowing exactly what they wanted to wear. If anything, he would’ve thought she’d tell him what to wear.
“…What do you want to wear?” he asked, not wanting to overstep any boundaries.
“I don’t know. Something I wouldn’t usually wear,” she admitted. “Something you can’t find somewhere that sells fishing bait.”
“What do you like?” Luke asked, genuinely curious what she actually liked that wasn’t leather jackets or jeans.
“I don’t know,” Katherine admitted. “…Should I wear a skirt?”
“If you want to, yeah,” he nodded, kind of flustered. “That’d look nice.”
“Alright,” she shrugged, still looking at him even though the conversation had come to a conclusion.
Luke watched as her eyes slowly trailed downward, chuckling as he put his hands on his hips.
“What you looking at?” he asked.
“Your face,” she smiled innocently, crossing her arms as she met his gaze.
“That’s not my face.”
“Oops,” she shrugged, wandering off as he just shook his head.
Luke truthfully wasn’t really sure what was going on with Katherine, but he didn’t really question it. They were both having fun. He figured eventually, he’d figure out if she would be a friend, girlfriend, or something in between.
He decided to put on his nice brown leather jacket and a dash of cologne, putting in the effort that he felt someone like Katherine deserved.
“You ready?” he called, car keys in hand.
“Yeah,” she called, slowly coming out of the bathroom after putting on her makeup.
Luke had almost forgotten she was one of the prettiest girls he’d ever seen. She had the softest skin, the prettiest lips, and long, shiny hair. She was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, and what he could only describe as one of the shortest denim skirts he had ever seen, along with a pair of heeled leather boots.
He could smell her perfume, and it made him feel lightheaded with ecstasy.
“How do I look?” she asked, already knowing the answer.
“Like I’m gonna have to win you every stuffed animal they’ve got,” he said proudly.
He playfully threw his arm around her as they climbed into the Pontiac and headed for Coney Island.
“I’m gonna tell people you’re my boyfriend so they get scared you’re gonna beat the shit outta them,” Katherine said as she put on her lip gloss on the car.
“I’m gonna tell people you’re my girlfriend so they think I’m really cool,” Luke smiled.
For once, the voices in his mind were quiet. There was no screaming, and no pain or guilt. All he thought about was how much he really, really liked Katherine as they sang along to Smashing Pumpkins in the car. Wandering around Coney Island and going on the roller coasters with her was enough to make him forget about being anything more than a person.
For the first time in his life, Luke didn’t have to do anything. He wasn’t too busy saving the world to realize that his world might just be someone else.
As he watched Katherine genuinely laughing and smiling, he felt he didn’t deserve the chance to see it. It was so unusual to him, seeing her enjoying herself. It definitely felt strange that it was being with him that made her enjoy herself. But he loved every minute of it, whether it was exploring with her, or sitting next to her on rides, or standing behind her in lines so that she could live in peace.
“Oh, look. A basketball game,” Katherine pointed out.
“You wanna play?” he asked her.
“No, I wanna watch you play,” she grinned.
“Okay,” he sighed jokingly, “Which one do you want?”
“Surprise me.”
Luke examined the wall of various sizes of stuffed animals, trying to decide which one he liked the best. Eventually, he settled on a tiger, because in a strange way, Katherine reminded him of one. It didn’t take long for him to make enough baskets to win one. He’d gotten just about every single one, which Katherine admittedly found attractive in him as she picked at the pink cotton candy he’d decided to get for them.
Luke turned around with a goofy grin as he showed off the stuffed tiger he’d won for her. Laughing happily, Katherine excitedly jumped into his arms as he caught her instinctively, stunned and touched by the gesture. Luke gladly spun her around in a circle as he allowed her to wrap her legs around him, the two of them fitting in with the families around them surprisingly well.
Katherine pulled away as Luke held her in his arms, throwing her own arms around his neck as she went in for a big, romantic kiss in the middle of the boardwalk. In that moment, the one thought swimming around in Luke’s head was that he really had been to hell and back with this girl.
Neither of them were in any rush to pull away. The kiss ended very slowly as they separated, only to see one another’s smiles.
“I’d kill for you,” Katherine whispered, giggling as they seemed entirely wholesome to the people around them.
“I’d die for you,” Luke reminded her, setting her back down on the ground. “And. You deserve all the tigers in the world.”
She eagerly accepted the gift, taking the animal as she made it face him, playfully snapping her teeth in a joking bite as he admired her.
“Thank you. For today,” he told her.
“Why are you thanking me?” she asked.
“Because, you let me see you smile,” Luke stated simply.
“I’ll let you see it even more if we can ride the roller coaster again,” she incentivized.
“Again? I’m gonna throw up,” he groaned.
They had spent almost all of their waking hours at Coney Island before they decided to go. Luke certainly didn’t mind driving as he watched Katherine blissfully do nothing for once.
“So, what do you wanna do?” he asked her readily. “Today’s about you.”
“Wanna keep the fun going?” she asked, a mischievous grin on her face.
Luke raised an eyebrow skeptically. “Why? What’ve you got in mind?”
“Let’s find a dive bar,” she suggested, an array of ID’s in hand. “I’ll kick your ass at pool.”
“You’re on,” he accepted.
Playing pool with Katherine while they each had a beer at a dive bar would’ve been fun, if it weren’t for the men in the room. Luke wasn’t sure if it was how much he cared about Katherine, or how he felt he owed her for completing Ares’s ‘quest’, or just common decency, but he wanted to gouge out every wandering eye in the room.
It was all he could think about as they played and drank. He knew it was ridiculous, because Katherine could easily kill everyone in the room probably better and faster than he could, but he still wanted to ‘defend her honor’, or something. Perhaps he just wanted to murder anyone who looked at her the wrong way.
He knew she could sense it. She knew why he stood right behind her every time she leaned over the pool table to take her shot. But, what he didn’t know, was that she took pleasure in the way he would lightly brush up against her. The tension definitely made several hours go by pretty quickly.
“Hey, Katherine?” he said, wanting to be serious for a moment.
“Hmm?” she looked up.
“I, uh… I know we moved past it, but… I just wanted to apologize for the way I treated you that night. With Ares,” Luke reminded her. “I should’ve told you how grateful I was to you, for what you did.”
“You don’t have to,” she promised him, knowing it was bound to come up sooner or later. “I know.”
“Okay,” he nodded, feeling less guilty.
“Alright,” she smiled, taking his hand in hers as she squeezed it for reassurance.
“For the record,” Luke purred, leaning down and whispering softly in her ear. “I wish I could’ve killed them myself.”
She looked up at him in surprise, feeling as if Tartarus had changed him.
“You deserve that much,” he told her, lightly brushing a stray strand of her hair behind her ear.
“That’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me,” she remarked.
“You want another drink?” he asked, cautiously glancing behind her at the man leering as he sat at the bar.
“Why don’t we go back?” she suggested.
“Sure. You go out to the car, I’ll just be a second,” Luke told her.
Katherine took the car keys from him and disappeared as Luke headed to the bar, crossing his arms as he approached the man who had been hungrily eyeing her for the past hour.
“Hey,” he said, his tone rather confrontational.
“Hey,” the man grinned in response, not perceiving a single reason as to why Luke could be angry with him. “Quite the hottie you got there. What an ass.”
Luke made a face, at both the comment and its unfortunate phrasing, watching as the man’s friend seemed to also think it was somehow cool. Not appreciating the lack of common decency, Luke heard a voice in the back of his head that just said ‘fuck it’. He snapped and pulled a folding knife from his pocket, holding it inches from the man’s face as he slammed it onto the bar.
Everyone around him stopped, not quite sure how they wanted to react to the situation yet. Luke calmly held the knife to the man’s face as both he and his friend panicked.
“Ah! What the fuck?!” the man hissed, his face smashed into the table.
“Yo, we don’t want any trouble!” his friend blurted out drunkenly.
“Talk about my girlfriend like that, and I’ll cut your fucking tongue out,” Luke threatened, waiting for him cry.
Not having anything else to add, the man nodded quickly, begging Luke not to hurt him as he roughly shoved him, leaving the bar as everyone, including the bartender, just watched, fully aware that calling the police to that particular establishment would just be bad for business.
Luke eventually joined Katherine in the car, climbing into the driver’s seat as she looked at him calmly.
“You okay?” she asked coolly.
“More than,” he assured her, feeling as if he’d done his part. “Also, we can’t come back here.”
“Okay,” Katherine shrugged, fully aware of what must’ve happened.
Luke started the car angrily, starting to wish he’d followed through on his promise. She could definitely tell the mood he was in.
“I bet it was really hot,” she said finally, “Watching you make that guy squirm.”
Luke stopped, turning to look at her as he knew exactly what she wanted.
“That’s nothing. You should see me make you squirm.”
That was what did it. Never before had Luke ever seen two eighteen year-olds more determined to do anything. It was practically a race back to the hotel. Luke had to fight every urge to carry Katherine through the hotel lobby, elevator, and hallway. As soon as the door closed behind them and Luke’s jacket was thrown off, it was a free-for-all.
Katherine jumped into his arms, kissing him passionately as she felt his strong arms wrapped around her. He sighed heavily into the kiss, high on her scent as he set her back down on the ground.
“Are you sure?” Luke asked her, searching within her eyes.
“I’ve never been more sure about anything,” she promised him.
That was all he needed to know. They all but slammed into one another in a messy kiss, his tongue driving her insane. She helped him pull his shirt over his head, gasping lightly as she felt his cold hands underneath her skirt, kneading her skin, hard.
“I want your thong in between my teeth,” Luke said suddenly.
Katherine sighed. “I love ADHD sex.”
Her hands slowly ran all the way down his bare chest as he kissed her, still playfully groping at her ass.
“You don’t have to be so gentle,” she teased.
“Neither do you,” he promised her.
He slid her skirt down her legs in one swift move, watching, aroused, as she got down on her knees to get his pants off. She patiently pulled down his briefs, her response to which could only be described as a greedy gasp.
“I don’t fucking deserve you,” he gasped, his hand slowly combing through her hair.
Grinning up at him, Katherine’s eyes darkened as she only opened her mouth, tongue just barely sticking out as she silently told him what to do.
“Oh fuck, I could die right now,” he groaned.
He slowly inserted himself into her mouth, gasping at the sensation. His pace gradually picked up as he held onto the back of her head, thrusting as fast as she wanted him to. She looked up at him coolly, eyes calm and serene as he fucked her face, thrusting so hard he was surprised she didn’t choke or cry at all. She didn’t even seem fazed; she was enjoying it wholeheartedly. Luke groaned, enjoying every second of it.
“Fuck, your mouth feels so good…”
He hardly even felt the need to contain his excitement. But eventually, he couldn’t wait anymore. Pulling out of her mouth, Luke grabbed her by her face, pressing a hard, wet kiss to her lips as he forcefully pried her mouth open and spit in it roughly, gulping as she looked him in the eyes as she swallowed. He could’ve fallen in love right then and there.
“You’re so fucking nasty, I love it,” he said in a low drawl.
Katherine loved that he didn’t care if kissing her after she’d had his dick in her mouth was disgusting. She mounted him eagerly, chuckling as he impatiently started grinding against her as she peeled off her undergarments.
Before she could, Luke aggressively flipped her over, grinning in an animalistic fashion as he pinned her down, nipping at her neck as he made his way down her body.
“Fuck,” she gasped.
She pulled, hard, on his hair as his veiny hands pawed at her breasts, not sparing her the pain as he took each of her nipples between his teeth, encouraged by her pulling his hair. He whined hungrily as he moved downward, positioning himself between her legs as he dug his fingers into the soft skin on her thighs.
Luke hungrily bit down on her hip bone as she laughed maniacally. He bit down on her thong, slowly pulling it down with his teeth before taking it off.
“You’re a fucking goddess,” he moaned, burying his face in between her legs with greed as he just breathed her in for a moment. “I’d do anything for you. Fuck me, you’re so wet.”
Katherine sighed as he suddenly latched his mouth onto her clit, roughly massaging her hips as he strategically overstimulated her.
“Fuck!” she hissed, giving his hair a harsh tug as he moaned into her, tongue still lapping at her insides. “I’m gonna rip you apart!” she vowed in anger.
He pinned her down to the bed by her his, grunting crudely as he ate her out. He wouldn’t let anything interrupt him.
“Wrap your legs all the way around. Fuck my face. Let me make you come on my face,” he ordered impatiently, sighing into her as she sucked him into her.
He felt as if she were some sort of violent ocean that he couldn’t help but get sucked into. He flicked his tongue faster and faster, groaning as he felt her thighs shaking around him. His head was completely trapped, not that he even cared. He stayed out, attacking her with his tongue until he felt her finish. Even as she got even wetter, he didn’t stop, reveling in his accomplishments as she pulled on his hair.
He looked up at her, eyes wide and locked on her as she glared at him. When he was finished, he didn’t waste a second. Flipping her over and manhandling her like a rag doll, he made it so that they were both sitting up on the bed, as he slowly buried himself in her, as she still came, losing his mind.
He held her close to him by softly holding onto her throat, his big hand wrapped around her neck for balance. This was essentially his love language.
“Fuck, Luke! Holy shit!” she gasped, feeling how long it took for him to completely bottom out. “Luke…!”
“That’s it,” he groaned, squeezing his eyes shut as he lost himself in her, “Let everyone know my name… Please, Katherine, please,” he begged her.
She gasped as he picked up the pace, his cold hand on her neck somehow making her chest feel even hotter. He slammed into her harder and harder, making her groan as she impatiently pulled away from him, lying down as she pulled him down on top of her, kissing him hard.
“I wanna see the stupid fucking look on your face while you fuck me,” she hissed.
“Katherine!” he cried out, almost collapsing on top of her as he lovingly kissed all over her neck. “Fuck. You’re everything.”
“I’m gonna fucking destroy you,” she cooed mockingly as she shoved his face into her neck, her hands resting on his back.
“Go ahead,” he pleaded, “Make me yours. Fucking destroy me, just use me…!”
He moaned loudly as he penetrated, trying to control himself as felt her fingernails digging into his back. He nearly screamed like some sort of horror movie character as she clawed her fingers down his back so hard she started to draw blood.
Luke huffed excitedly as he thrusted in and out of her, completely burying his face in her chest.
“Shit!” he gasped. “Oh…”
He cried out, overstimulated as she scratched up and down his back. He knew there was blood dripping, but hardly even thought about it. He didn’t want to finish yet, but he also knew that he was enjoying being with her too much to really do anything about it.
“It’s okay baby,” she promised him, one hand playing with his hair. “Just come. Come for me,” she whispered.
“Tear me apart!” he hissed. “Fucking destroy me!”
He felt himself fuck like he never fucked before. He thrusted in and out of her so hard, she saw splotches of black as she dug her nails into his muscular back. She sighed as he kissed the side of her neck, refusing to stop worshipping her with affectionate little kisses. Just as he felt her getting so wet he knew she must’ve came again, he moaned softly as he braced himself.
“Luke,” she whispered, mouth agape as he kept going.
“Fuck, that’s so unfair, don’t say my name like that,” he whined.
Reaching a shared climax unlike anything either of them had ever felt before, he pulled out, coming all over her bare stomach with her nails still digging into his back. Panting hard, he collapsed on top of her, continuing his worshiping as he kissed all over her neck.
“Katherine, you’re so beautiful,” he gushed. “You’re a fucking goddess. I don’t deserve you. I love the way you hurt me,” he moaned, falling on top of her.
She appreciated the way he put his full weight on her, sighing in exhaustion as she worked her fingers through his hair. There was come and blood kind of everywhere, but to both of them, it seemed to feel right. That’s what they were together, just come and blood.
“I think I’m in paradise when I’m with you,” she murmured.
“I’d come in my pants if you told me you hated me,” Luke confessed, flipping over beside her to give her some room to breathe.
Sitting up, Katherine momentarily excused the come on her lower stomach as she looked at the old digital alarm clock on the bedside table.
“It’s 7:23,” she told him, her voice still breathy as she realized it was already light out.
“What time did we get in?” Luke asked in confusions staring up at the ceiling.
“I don’t know, 11:48?” she approximated.
“Shit,” he breathed, thinking hard. “Did we just fuck for seven hours?”
“Yeah,” she nodded, “I think so.”
Luke had forgotten that he was a demigod.

Friends? pt.2
Luke Castellan x Reader
pt.1 here
You were nervous, of course you were but that nervousness was overshined on by your excitement. How could you not be excited when you were gonna practice with Luke this afternoon.
The way he was so close to you, teaching you how to wield a sword while his breath fanned your neck. It drove the butterflies in your stomach nuts.
You never learnt anything with him, by the way. (You were too busy trying to not make a fool of yourself in front of him) This proved to be helpful because it just gave more opportunities for Luke to ask you to practice with him. He cared for you, more than you would like but he wanted you to be good with the sword. It was for self defence afterall! Nothing like he liked you back or something.
It was a classic case of a hopeless crush but the way he looked at you, urgh!
So you never lost your hope.
Afternoon was here and you quickly finished Lunch to go find Luke. It seemed like he was already there in the practice area, waiting for you.
"Hey, did you wait long? Im sorry...* You said sheepishly.
"Nah you're good. I was sharpening these swords anyways."
And so began your so called 'practice'. Today was different though, it felt oddly intimate.
He was behind you, teaching you how to properly swing with your sword.
"Just like...that...there you go! This is the movement."
You both practice for a while, then Luke stopped. He was still behind you, and you looked at him, looking for a reason why he suddenly stopped talking.
He made eye contact with you. His eyes were beautiful, chocolate brown, just perfect. He suddenly lowered his head and kissed your temple, then wrapped a hand around your waist pulling you close.
Your back was touching his chest and you were sure you were blushing like crazy.
"you're looking stunning today. I cant resist myself when you're wearing this outfit"
You were so confused. What the heck was happening? First he kissed your temple, then he compliments you. Before you could continue your train of thoughts of your racing mind he nuzzled his face in your neck.
He breathed, once, twice then he said it.
"I like you, a lot"
He was now looking at you, almost pleadingly. And you can't even remember how you had the confidence to do this but you pressed you lips on his. His grip on your waist tightened.
"me too"
He grinned and then a smirk.
"is our cabin empty right now?"
You nod
"yeah, yeah it is"

12 Days of Ficmas ❅ Day 8
Word Count: 4.7K Paring: Jordan Li x Fem!Reader Prompt by @12-days-of-ficmas: christmas baby is sensitive about never being celebrated on their birthday/always feels skipped over Warnings: foul language
Summary: Being a Supe comes with its challenges. But there is no challenge bigger than being the child of Supes that do not care. (Y/N) has been constantly overlooked by her parents in all aspects of her life other than her abilities. Her birthday is not the exception. But there is one person that wants to make sure she knows how special she is, regardless of her powers.
A/N: I watched Gen V last year and naturally became obsessed with Jordan, so I had to give a day to them. I love them with all my heart and I loved this story too. Mainly because I selfishly wrote this about having a Christmas birthday 🤭🤭
<- Previous | Next ->
Studying at God U had been (Y/N)’s dream, much like many other Supes. She had been raised to idolize the lifestyle of a crime-fighting Supe and had been trained her entire life to one day become one of The Seven. That much her parents wanted for her.
Having been B-list superheroes just like Polarity, they had wanted more for their daughter. They wanted her to rise through the ranks quickly and efficiently, making sure her name was in everyone’s mouth. More than her parents, they were her managers. Appearing in her life if and when necessary to make sure her image and reputation were always pristine. No amount of money, time, or resources would ever be too much to make sure their baby girl was one of the greats. They truly provided her with everything she could ever need except the love and warmth parents should give.
(Y/N) had always been their biggest marketing ploy. The golden child of Storm Surge and Radiance –the only title her parents cared for. While they went around the world giving conferences and interviews, the girl was stuck at home, by herself, training, slowly being molded into a daughter those heroes could be proud of.
She grew up in isolation. There weren’t many people around her growing up the way she was. It wasn’t until she was touring the university that she finally found people like her –exactly like her.
The first two people she met were Luke Riordan and Andre Anderson. They were finishing their freshman year at Godolkin University and had run into (Y/N) after she had gotten separated from her tour group. The duo had taken it upon themselves to show her the real God U and promised to take her under their wing when she finally arrived that warm August.
In the coming months, the three of them engaged in nonstop communication as they helped her in her transition from intensive homeschooling and training to a more social and balanced life. They had also introduced her to Cate Dunlap and Jordan Li, the remaining members of the golden quartet of God U, as she liked to call them.
The four of them were a refreshing breath in comparison to her life of isolation. She couldn't help but grow a certain affinity for the group of Supes, desiring nothing more than to be at the university to finally experience their friendship face-to-face. Especially a certain bigender student that had caught her eye.
There was a sort of magnetism to Jordan Li that (Y/N) could not deny. She wanted nothing more than to know everything about them –their likes, their dislikes, their hopes, their dreams. She wanted to know what life by their side could be. And a small part of her hoped they wanted that as well.
But when the day finally came to move to God U, she was met with a version of Jordan she had not seen over the phone. Where Andre, Luke, and Cate had welcomed her with open arms, even going as far as to help her move into her dorm, Jordan had decided to keep their distance from her. In their male form, he would grumble under his breath as he moved boxes into her room, asking Luke how long the whole ordeal would last. When Luke answered that they would probably end up getting food and spending the night with her, he could only scoff and say he’d be going to spend the night in his room.
“Did I do something wrong?” (Y/N) questioned as she spread her duvet across her bed. “Why are they so mad?”
“They’re probably tired,” Luke shrugged. “Jordan can sometimes get into these moods when they haven’t gotten much sleep.”
“Maybe you should go check on them, then. I think I can manage by myself now.”
“Nonsense,” Andre grinned as he slid an arm across her shoulders. “We promised you some dinner, and that’s what you’re getting. Jordan’ll get over it soon enough.”
And that’s what she had hoped.
But as the days passed, the only thing that seemed to grow in Jordan was contempt. They would avoid (Y/N) as best as they could, even going out of their way not to run into her. They would barely talk to her when the group went out to a party or simply had a comfortable night in one of their dorms. It seemed like nothing the girl did was good enough for them, and she couldn’t help but wonder if her crush on them would only damage her in the long run.
Still, days turned to months, and suddenly (Y/N) was completing her first semester at Godolkin. She had become busy with her schoolwork, quickly rising through the ranks and coming very close to becoming one of the only freshmen ever to make it onto the Top 5. Christmas break had quickly approached, and the New York winter was coming in strong. Students all around were packing up to go home for the holidays, grateful for a small rest from the school. Granted, a lot of students had loving and supportive families to go home to. Even if (Y/N) didn’t, she was looking forward to sleeping in her own bed once more and having some time away from Jordan's icy treatment.
After packing what was necessary, she rolled her suitcase out of the dorm building, half expecting to find her parents waiting for her, happy to take her home. Instead, she saw other students reuniting with their families or simply groups of friends driving away to their planned vacations. Meanwhile, the fire-wielding girl stood freezing, hoping to see even a glance of her birthgivers.
Once twenty minutes had passed in the cold winter morning, (Y/N) knew deep down what had happened. But instead of jumping to conclusions, she dialed her parents’ phone. “Hey guys,” she said as their faces came up on the screen. “Where are you? You were supposed to pick me up half an hour ago.”
“Oh, honey, we forgot to tell you,” her mother answered, bringing her face forward on the screen. “We had some last-minute stops added to the book tour, and we won’t make it home for Christmas.”
“Yeah, kid, we talked to the Dean, and she said it was okay for you to stay at the dorms,” her father added. “Anything you need, just use the card.”
“Can’t I at least go home? I mean, I could still see you when you get back. Even if it’s after Christmas.”
“Honey, by the time we get back, you’ll be heading off to school again,” her mother said. “And there’s no point in you staying at home all by yourself. Might as well stay there and get ahead in some classes.”
“Are you serious, mom? What about my birth…?”
“Kid, sorry, the flight attendant is flagging us down,” her father interrupted. “We need to turn our phones off. But Nicole will come over sometime soon with your presents. And remember, any groceries or necessities, just use your card.”
“But…”
“Merry Christmas, honey,” they chorused before the screen went black.
(Y/N) shouldn’t have been surprised. It was not the first time she had spent the holiday alone, and it was definitely not the first time they had forgotten about her birthday. With it being so close to Christmas, it had somehow always slipped their mind. But something in her believed that it would have been different that time. She was out of the house and had very little communication with them; maybe they had missed her. Yet, nothing had changed. Nothing would ever change.
As she felt tears falling from her eyes, (Y/N) turned around to head back inside before anyone could see her cry. Walking with her hands on her eyes, she bumped into someone harshly but couldn’t bring herself to care who it was. All she did was mumble an apology and head back into her room to sleep that bad dream away.
By the time she had woken up from her nap, the building had emptied, and she felt, for the first time in a long time, truly alone. The halls would normally be bustling with chatter and mischief. But that winter night, the silence was the most chilling sensation of all. Her footsteps echoed as she walked to the bathroom, every step reminding her of how empty the school was and how alone she was.
For three whole days, (Y/N) had fallen into an automatic routine. She had gone for groceries the very next day, buying all the junk food her parents would have chastised her for getting. But they weren’t there. She had free reign and a credit card with a pretty high spending limit. If she wanted to drown herself in chips and ice cream, she would do so.
Her parents’ assistant Nicole went by on the second day, but she had texted her to come downstairs and handed her a bag with presents without so much as looking up from her phone. It was the only human interaction she’d had; it had felt as cold as her parents had been.
When her birthday finally arrived, three days before Christmas, (Y/N) left the school to buy herself a birthday cake. Her parents would have been furious at her for indulging in such a treat, but they couldn’t chastise her if they weren’t there. She had been dreaming of devouring an entire chocolate cake, savoring the taste of the rich flavor. Alas, all she found at the nearest grocery store was a simple vanilla cupcake without as much as a candle to light. Defeatedly, the girl walked home with her simple treat and braced herself for another birthday in solitude.
Once she was back at her dorm building, she pulled the cake out of the box and produced a flame from the tip of her finger. “Well, make a wish, (Y/N),” she whispered to herself after singing a sad rendition of Happy Birthday. “Not that they ever come true.”
She blew away the flame and, with fresh tears in her eyes, took a bite of the slightly stale cupcake. It was rather hard and bland, but it was as good as she was gonna get without making it herself. And she had no energy left to bake herself a cake.
As the doors of the elevator opened on her floor, (Y/N) was ready to cry herself to sleep watching another movie. She had not expected her entire hall to be filled with her friends and a chorused “Surprise!” to leave their throats.
The girl startled at the noise, instinctually forming a ball of fire in her hand to defend herself against the intruder, but upon seeing her friends quickly put it out. There were couches in the halls, lights and streamers on the ceiling, and balloons littered all over. Where the vending machines normally were, a table of food and drinks rested, a beautiful birthday cake set in the center.
“Holy shit,” was all she could mutter as Luke stepped forward and twirled her in a tight hug. “How did you guys know I was here?”
“A little birdy told us, and we couldn’t let you have another birthday by yourself,” he smiled as he set her down. “Figured you’d want some company, at least for tonight.”
“Yeah, and it’s also a good excuse to party at an empty school,” Andre added with a grin. “It just so happened that it was your birthday too.”
“What if it hadn’t been?”
“Then we’d be celebrating Christmas,” Cate smiled. “Either way, we were gonna come spend time with you.”
“You guys are crazy,” she chuckled before wrapping them all in a hug. “Thank you.”
(Y/N) disappeared for a second to change her clothes, and once she came back, the party went on full-steam ahead. The music was loud, the lights were flashing, there was alcohol and drugs, and everything felt perfect. She was surrounded by her friends –and some acquaintances that had only come to party– and for the first time in a long time, she felt happy and loved. And, even if it surprised her, she had been able to steal glances at her painful crush.
Jordan had kept to themselves the entire time she had been there, finding ways not to run into her or even meet her eye. She noticed how he downed cup after cup, only engaging in conversation when others talked to him. But he hadn’t even smiled or nodded at her. If he was there, it was most likely because Luke had dragged them there.
The girl wanted to enjoy her party. Bask in the love and care her friends had gifted her with, but it didn’t take long before Jordan’s obvious disdain started to damper her mood. She was dancing with a scowl, and every shot she downed was in an effort to forget the person she wanted the most.
“Okay, what’s going on?” Luke asked as he pulled her away from the loudness of the hall and into her room. “I thought you would like the party.”
“I do.”
“Then why do you look so sad, (Y/N)?” he pressed. “If it’s too much, I can get everyone out, and it’ll just be the five of us.”
“No, the party is great. It’s honestly the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me,” she sighed, her shoulders slumping as she felt embarrassment bubbling at the words she would speak. “The problem is Jordan, okay? It’s the fact that, for some fucking reason, they hate me and can’t even find a way to hide it on my birthday.”
“Wait, you think… you think Jordan hates you?” he asked with a slight chuckle. “That’s crazy, (Y/N)!”
As he continued laughing, the door opened to reveal Andre and Cate with confused expressions on their faces. “What happened?” Andre asked. “Everything good?”
“Oh, yeah,” Luke said in between laughs. “It’s just that (Y/N) thinks Jordan hates her.”
“No way,” Cate snickered. “Are you serious?”
“Are you?” (Y/N) emphasized. “How is this coming as a surprise to you?”
“Alright, then. What makes you think they hate you?”
“Well, Andre, for starters, they haven’t even said a word to me all night,” the girl started. “They avoid me in the halls and in classes. They’re always trying to intimidate me by changing into their male form when they spot me. They don’t speak to me unless they literally have no other choice. I’m pretty sure if they had been able to, they’d throw me out of God U. Not to mention all the stink eyes they’ve given me these past months. Yeah, Jordan definitely hates me.”
“Oh, this is hilarious,” Luke said, still hunched over in laughter. “You really think they hate you.”
“How is that funny?”
“They were the one who planned this whole thing,” Andre answered. “If it hadn’t been for their call, we wouldn’t have known that you were here all by yourself.”
“Believe me, (Y/N),” Cate added. “They care a lot more than you know.”
“You’re kidding, right?” (Y/N) chuckled dryly. “There’s no way Jordan Li cares enough to do something like this.”
“You’re never gonna believe us, are you?” She answered Luke with a shake of her head. “Alright, then. All we have to do is get you two together so you can talk.”
“Good luck with that,” she scoffed. “The last time they were forced to talk to me, they did it all over text. And not a single emoji.”
“You leave that up to us,” Luke grinned. “We’ll get you two alone.”
(Y/N) didn’t understand what he meant until an hour after that conversation. The second they had left the room, they had gone back to partying. They danced and sang and drank, and she did everything possible to put Jordan in the back of her mind. But it was difficult as she saw them change from their male form to their female, taking a glass of champagne and downing it before going to talk to a girl. It irked her to no avail and only made her drink more and more.
She wanted to numb all feelings. She wanted to forget about her parents, forget about her lonely Christmas, and forget about her fruitless crush on the one person who would never like her back.
As she served herself her third whisky sour in that hour, Luke got onto a table and called for everyone’s attention. “Alright, everyone, are you having fun?” Everyone around him cheered, and a shit-eating grin spread onto his face. “That’s what I like to hear. But I think it’s time to kick it old school at this party and play a little rambunctious game. Something you might call seven minutes in heaven.”
His eyes fell onto (Y/N)’s as his grin grew, accepting a glass bowl from Cate as he continued. “I have here all of our names here, thanks to my beautiful girlfriend, Cate,” he said. “I’m sure you all know the rules of the game. But for the person who just came out of a decade-long coma, I will pull two names from this bowl, and those two people will be stuck in (Y/N)’s room for seven minutes. Normally, you’d make out or something similar, but you can’t force anyone to do that. So, whatever happens in that room is up to you.”
“Just do it on Marnie’s bed,” Cate interjected. “Not (Y/N)’s.”
“Hey!” Marnie, (Y/N)’s roommate, exclaimed before shrugging. “Eh, knock yourselves out.”
“Thank you, Marnie. I’ll make sure people thank you for your service,” Luke chuckled. “Well then, let’s see who our first person is. Andre, will you do the honors?”
The boy stepped beside his friend and stuck his hand into the bowl, making a whole scene out of mixing up the papers. But (Y/N) knew. “Jordan Li,” Andre announced. “Get over here!”
Jordan walked to the front of the crowd with a chuckle, her skin turning a soft shade of red. Luke got down from the table and draped an arm across her shoulders in a side hug, then landed his eyes back on (Y/N) before saying, “And who will be the lucky person to join our friend here, Andre?”
With another pretend mixing of the names, Andre pulled out a paper with a smile that spread from ear to ear. “Well, if it isn’t the birthday girl herself,” he exclaimed. “(Y/N), get your ass over here.”
At the mention of her name, Jordan’s smile dropped and quickly changed into his name form, making (Y/N) roll her eyes. The alcohol was taking effect in her system and was making confidence surge from deep inside. Unfortunately, it was walking hand in hand with anger, and she was ready to give them a piece of her mind.
She walked to the front of the hallway as everyone cheered and followed Luke to her room. Jordan walked in first, with her following close behind as their friend stopped at the door. “Have fun, you guys,” he smiled. “Your time starts now.”
As soon as Luke closed the door, Jordan sat on Marnie’s bed, looking everywhere but at her. He remained quiet and uninterested, making ire burn deep inside her. He played with his chain and kicked his feet forward, letting time pass by and anger build.
“What the fuck is your problem with me?!”
Jordan jumped at the sudden explosions, his eyes finally snapping toward her. He was sure steam was coming out of her ears, her face red with anger. “What do you mean?” he questioned. “I don’t have a problem with you.”
“You’re fucking kidding, right?” she spat. “You’ve been avoiding me this entire semester. I don’t know what I did from the first time we talked to the first day of school, but you’ve done everything in your power to stay away from me. So, either I did something, or you just don’t like me.”
“You didn’t do anything,” they answered sheepishly. “It’s… it’s complicated.”
“C… complicated?” (Y/N) stressed. “Complicated is the fact that something seemed to change before the first day of school. And it was big enough that it made you change your impression of me. Unless you were pretending the entire summer and it got harder to do once we were in the same place.”
“That’s not what happened. I wasn’t pretending.”
“Then what is it, Jordan?” she exclaimed, biting back the tears that threatened to spill in her intoxicated state. “Because this whole intimidation and avoidance thing is getting quite old.”
“Intimidation?” he questioned. “What are you talking about?”
“Come on, Jordan! Do you really think I’m that stupid?” (Y/N) questioned rhetorically. “Every single time you know I am near, you change into your male form. Whenever I try to talk to you, you walk away or answer in the shortest way possible. Hell, even when we all go out as a group, you keep as far away from me as possible. You’ve pushed me away all these months, and I think I deserve a reason why!”
He startled at the raise of her voice. Her anger slapped him across the face, stinging as though she had actually hit him. They had been avoiding her, but she was nowhere close to the reason why. “I don’t hate you, (Y/N),” he said quietly. “I could never hate you.”
“Then, please, help me understand why you’ve been acting this way,” she pleaded. Her expression had softened, and Jordan could see the pain behind her teary eyes. “I just want the friendship we had in summer back. I mean, for almost three months straight, we talked nonstop, and suddenly, it was radio silence from you. What did I do for things to change so drastically?”
“God, you didn’t do anything, (Y/N). It’s me that’s the problem!” Jordan exploded as he stood from the bed. He felt angsty, pacing back and forth as he prepared himself for the inevitable rejection. “I know we built a good relationship over the summer, and it was so good. But that’s the problem. I don’t want to be your friend.”
“Oh,” (Y/N) answered defeatedly. “Sorry. I thought…”
“No! This is coming out all wrong,” he said as he ran his hands across his face in frustration. “I don’t want to be your friend because I want to be more than that. (Y/N), I’ve liked you from the moment we met. Through the phone, it was easy for me to keep my feelings in control. But here, seeing you around 24/7, it’s been hard to keep it all in control.”
“Wait, you like me?” she questioned, her heart fluttering fast against her chest. “Like, like me, like me?”
“Of course I do!” he yelled as frustration got the best of him. “You’re this amazing, talented, unbelievably bright girl. How could I not? But I thought pushing you away would be the easiest way to get over you.”
“But I don’t get it, Jordan. Why not tell me? Or, hell, even ask how I felt?”
“Because you’re you, and I’m me! You deserve to be with someone easier, someone that’s in your league,” Jordan confessed. “I come with very heavy baggage, and you don’t deserve to have to carry it. You should be with someone who knows who they are and knows what they want. Definitely not someone who needs constant validation to feel good enough. Even so, at the end of the day, I know you don’t even like me. I mean, you’ve only ever had boyfriends, and that’s an easier thing to explain to parents about and…”
(Y/N) couldn’t take it anymore. She grabbed Jordan’s face and crashed her lips onto theirs. They tasted of champagne and chocolate, a mix as soft and divine as their mouth felt. It took everything in her not to melt at the touch. And suddenly, the face they had been holding had grown smaller. As her eyes fluttered open, she saw Jordan’s female form in front of her.
“Oh, hi.”
“See? This is not what you want,” she sighed. “I’m not…”
Once more, (Y/N) interrupted them with a kiss. “I don’t care what gender you are, Jordan,” she smiled, running her thumb across her cheeks. “I like you for who you are. The entire time you’ve been trying to forget about me, I’ve been trying to get close to you because I like you, you idiot.”
“You’re just saying that.”
“Why would I lie about this, Jordan? Hell, you can ask Luke about it if you don’t believe me.”
“Luke?” she chuckled. “You’ve told Luke about this?”
“There have been a couple of drunkenly sad confessions over the past few months about it,” (Y/N) sighed, hiding her face in embarrassment. “Andre caught some of them as well. But yeah, they know. They’re actually the ones who orchestrated this whole thing.”
“Sort of gathered that seven minutes in heaven was a ruse,” Jordan smiled. “Especially since we’ve gone past seven, and no one has come to knock on the door.”
“Yeah,” she chuckled softly. “They also told me you were the one who planned this whole thing.”
“I was,” she answered meekly. “I overheard you talking to your parents on the last day of school. You actually bumped into me, and it broke my heart to see you crying like you were. I couldn’t bear knowing that you’d spend another birthday by yourself, so I made quick arrangements to get everyone back today.”
“So, you did the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me, and you still avoided me all night?”
“I’m a bit of a coward, (Y/N),” she laughed. “And, well, up until a minute ago, I thought there was no way you could actually like me. Not this version of me, at least.”
“Mm, that explains the continuous shifting into your male form when I’m near,” (Y/N) grinned. “But, regardless of everything that’s gone down these past few months, thank you, Jordan. You have no idea what this all means to me.”
“I thought it was about time you knew how loved and appreciated you are,” Jordan smiled, wrapping her arms around (Y/N)’s waist and pressing her close to her body. “Sorry that it took so long for me to tell you the truth. And I’m sorry your parents are assholes that don’t know how fucking special you are.”
“Thank you, J,” she said as a tear rolled down her eye. “I don’t care how long it took. I’m just happy it finally happened, and now you don’t have to pretend to hate me.”
“God, I’m sorry. I can’t imagine how horrible it must have felt to think that.”
“Well, now you have a lot to make up for,” she grinned, crossing her arms around Jordan’s neck. “Starting by wishing me a happy birthday.”
“Happy birthday,” Jordan said before kissing her lips and accentuating every word with a peck. “Happy. Fucking. Birthday. And. Merry. Fucking. Christmas.”
Their soft kisses rapidly turned heated. Hands exploring bodies, touching and searching. They twisted and turned until Jordan crashed (Y/N) onto the wall, kissing from her lips down to her neck, finding that one spot that made her moan. (Y/N)’s hands snaked into Jordan’s hair, gripping tightly at the base. It was passionate and feverish, and it was taking everything in them not to rip each other’s clothes off.
And it was also rudely interrupted.
“Hey, we’re gonna sing…” Luke said as he opened the door. “Woah. Didn’t think seven minutes in heaven worked this well.”
“Luke!” Jordan yelled. “What the hell?!”
“Sorry,” he snickered. “I thought you guys were only going to talk.”
“We… we did,” (Y/N) said. “We just moved on from that.”
“I’m glad,” he grinned. “But people want cake, and I’m not letting anyone get a piece until we’ve sung you happy birthday. So, get out here now. You guys can keep making out later.”
As he exited, both of them broke out into laughter as they wrapped their arms around each other. They smoothed down their clothes and their hair before walking toward the door, an aura of giddiness surrounding them.
“Will you stay after the party?” (Y/N) asked, pulling Jordan by their forearm. “After everyone’s gone back home, will you stay with me a little longer?”
“I’ll stay the rest of Christmas break if that’s what you want,” she smiled, threading her fingers through hers. “We really do have a lot to catch up on.”

I think people don’t talk enough about the fact that by casting people who look differently from the book description Uncle Rick not only scowled us that percabeth are soulmates in every universe, but also he showed us how similar Percy and Luke are.
I just saw a video about Percy and Luke. They put arts there. I caught myself on being unable to understand who I saw on the picture. I couldn’t understand who it was at first, Percy or Luke?
Percy had black straight hair. Luke was just like Hermes, he had ashy blond hair that was chaotic.
They became each other.
They were always the same.

show!Luke Castellan x daughter of thanatos!reader
DISCLAIMER: I don’t own the image above or any of Rick Riordan’s characters/world-building.
⚠️Warnings⚠️: attempted murder, swearing, parental neglect, overall sad vibes
A/N : this post is to set up context for the rest of the series (i have to set up the lore so everything makes sense lmao). this is my first time writing for luke, i promise i’ll get better at it with time :))
you essentially grew up at camp, having arrived at the young age of five
monsters began creeping their way into your life ever since you learned to speak. death seemed to be drawn to you.
first was the dracanea disguised as a nanny that tried to eat you while your mother was out of the house (she was a florist that prepared bouquets for funerals). you only survived because the dracanea was interrupted by your mortal older brother. when he saw you on the ground with the nanny about to wrap her hands around your tiny throat, he screamed so loud that the dracanea fled immediately. he then called the cops on her, but she’d long since disappeared. you were only three at the time.
the final straw was when an Aeternae attacked you on the preschool playground. it lept out from the large bushes near the fence and nearly ripped your face off. you would have died if your teacher, a satyr in disguise, hadn’t scared it off.
your preschool teacher, Mr. Maciolli, escorted your to camp the next day. he had a long talk with your mother, who didn’t put up much of a fight to keep you at home. you attracted trouble that she had no time to deal with.
with that, you were uprooted from your normal life and transported into the world of the Olympian gods.
you were the youngest camper by far. the older campers took you under their wing, helping you adjust to camp life as best as they could. they gave you a wooden sword and taught you the basics of combat. they made sure to keep you away from anyone who could cause you harm. and most importantly, the many unclaimed demigods that you met while staying in Cabin 11 taught you that the gods didn’t give a flying fuck about their kids.
though it was difficult at first, you were happy. sure, you missed your mom sometimes, but you reminded yourself that she hadn’t been interested in keeping you around anyways.
your first five years at camp were relatively peaceful. you developed your personality and learned your likes and dislikes, just like any “normal” kid.
however, there were occasional incidents that were absolutely unexplainable.
the worst one of all was this: a son of ares kept throwing pebbles at you while you were supposed to be picking strawberries. no matter what you said, he wouldn’t quit. after a particularly large pebble hit you in the back of the head, you turned around and screamed “stop it!”
the kid immediately collapsed, his skin turning pale. the other campers rushed him to the infirmary, and the apollo kids immediately got to work.
they concluded that his heart had stopped. he had been dead to the world for almost a whole minute. if not for the nectar that had been poured down his throat, he probably wouldn’t have made it.
campers did their best not to anger you after that. nobody could explain what had happened, but clearly, you had caused the son of ares to have a close brush with death.
you were claimed by Thanatos, the god of death, at the age of ten.
your social life turned on its head after that.
basically everyone except for Chiron and Mr. D avoided you like you were the walking Black Plague (which you kinda were)
after getting claimed, your powers increased. you could touch a small plant and kill it instantly if you wished to. wherever you sat, the grass would wither around you. you could even kill small animals with a simple touch (only if you wished it to die).
nobody wanted to risk crossing you and getting killed. so nobody tried to get close to you. they would say the occasional “hello”, but that was it.
you grew to resent not only your father, but all of the gods. they had everything, it seemed, while you had nothing. they didn’t even have the heart to check in on their own children.
you learned to thrive without any companions. you spent your days sparring against invisible enemies, building muscle, and developing stamina. you rarely conversed with the other members of Cabin 11, staying in your bunk in the far corner of the cramped space. during your down time, you killed flowers, dried and pressed them, and used them to make collages.
things were relatively stagnant for awhile.
until you turned fourteen.
at age fourteen, luke castellan arrived at camp, and changed your life forever.
Thank you for reading! Pls let me know what you think in the comments!!! I plan on making this a series, but I’m not sure how I’m going to format it yet. Stay tuned for the first official installment!
Let me know in the comments if you want to be added to the taglist!
