Luke Castellan didn’t like going to bed.

Going to bed meant falling asleep and falling asleep meant he’d dream and dreaming meant he’d be met with images of death, revenge, destruction, and hope. He often saw the destruction of Camp Half-Blood the minute his head hit the pillow. Of Mount Olympus and the Gods. But, mostly of you.

Luke would hold your limp and cold body in his arms as he cried for you, jerking awake with gasps and tears. An aching feeling settling in his chest as he clawed at his rapidly beating heart, trying to calm himself down, gripping the sheets beneath him as he caught his breath. Nights like these always ended up with him dragging himself to cabin seventeen, crawling into your bed as you soundly slept, arms instinctively wrapping around the body of your beloved as if you knew he needed the comfort.

Those kinds of nightmares shook the Castellan boy to his core. He didn’t know why he dreamt of those kinds of things. Causing any kind of pain to you was something he’d never dream of doing, but yet his dreams were often full of it. You dying by his hand, blood staining his hands crimson.

Sleep didn’t come easy when he was alone. Haunted by the future images of destruction and loss. It was a never ending cycle that Luke Castellan could not escape. His only freedom from it was in your arms, which is a place where he found himself tonight.

Luke currently found himself sprawled across your nearly made bed, all four corners tucked tightly into the bedframe and stuffed animals piled onto the end of your bed. His calloused fingers lightly drummed against the soft material of your bed spread. He was always impatient when it came to waiting for you to return from your nightly gossip sessions in the Aphrodite cabin.

The familiar sound of cabin seventeens buzz began to quiet down as the night got later and everyone got settled for bed. Luke was the only one awake by the time every Nike child fell into a deep slumber, tossing a small stuffed teddy between his hands as he continued to wait, desperately trying to silence his racing thoughts.

It was always the same every night—lay awake, stare into the dark corner of the Hermes cabin, strain his ears for any strange sounds until he heard his voice, and try not to go mad.

He succeeded most nights. But on the nights where Luke’s strength and sanity wore thin, he crawled into the very space he’s occupying at the moment.

Luke.

The teddy bear fell limp against the boys chest as he halted his movements in tossing it.

Luke, I know you can hear me.

Eyes squeezed shut and muttering the same comforting story his Mother used to whisper to him as a child before slumber took him into their embrace.

You can fight it all you want, Luke. But we both know you’re already mine. You can’t stop fate.

The Hermes boy continued to mutter the bedtime story to himself, losing count of how many times he had to repeat it. His throat began to hurt.

It’s fate. All of it is fate. You’ll join me. She’ll die. The Gods will submit to our orders and grant you whatever you desire, Luke.

Luke’s eyes were closed so tightly that the rushing of blood in his ears began to hurt his head, tears spilling out from the corners and ran down the sides of his face.

No matter how hard you try, you’re not strong enough to save her.

“Shut. Up.” Luke whispered, hands going up to his hair, tugging the strands in frustration.

I thought you wanted this, Luke? Wanted the Gods to pay for their negligence and cruelty? To see them bow at your feet, begging for mercy?

“No,” he muttered. It’s not worth it if she dies. None of it is. He thought to himself.

Luke Castellan knew that the visions Kronos showed him in his sleep were exaggerations of what could happen. So when he started to see your death by his hands, he began to reconsider reaching out to Kronos and exact revenge on the Gods. He couldn’t live without you, as dramatic as it sounded. It was true.

The dark haired boy knew that the old Titan was going to answer, but the creaking of the cabin floors and the sound of your familiar pitter-patter is what broke the connection.

Luke bolted up, the stuffed teddy falling to the floor.

“Oh my Gods, Luke! You scared me. Why aren’t you in bed?” You whispered, hand over your chest as your heart rapidly beat against it from the unexpected fright.

Your boyfriend didn’t answer you. He instead stood up from your ruffled bedspread and gathered you into his arms, face digging into your neck as he held you tightly to his frame.

“Hey, hey, what’s wrong?” You gently asked, hands wrapping around his shoulders as your hands wandered to his dark curls.

Luke’s silence is all you needed as you hummed out an acknowledgment, fingers gently rubbing circles into his scalp. He had told you of his particular struggles after he had battled back and forth with himself for days about the wrongness of it all. You were shocked he would ever do such a thing, but you understood. You understood what he was trying to achieve, begging him to not go through with it. Being intertwined with a Titan like Kronos could not garner positive results. Luke agreed to not go further, but Kronos still lingered and until the two of you could find a way to break that connection, he would continue to whisper horrendous things into Luke’s ear.

“Let’s get you into bed, yeah?” You asked, softly pulling him away from your neck so you could get a good look at him.

He had dark circles under his eyes. His dark locks were tangled and wild. His cheeks looked sunken in a bit, a sign that he wasn’t eating or sleeping properly.

A frown etched itself onto your face, thumbs traveling to his cheeks to gently caress them. He leaned into your touch, Luke’s eyes bore into your own as the two of you stood there in complete silence and darkness.

“It’ll all be alright, okay? We’ll figure it out. We always do, Luke” you whispered, pressing a soft kiss to your boyfriends chin, narrowly missing his bottom lip.

Luke only meekly nodded, allowing you to guide the both of you to your bed, swiftly tugging at the tightly tucked sheets. Once the soft sheets were untucked, you crawled in first, laying yourself back first as you opened your arms for Luke to nestle himself in. And that he did.

You wrapped your arms around Luke as he brought the covers up to both of your chins, face tucked into your neck once again. He melted into your frame, body relaxing as the only thing he could hear was your heartbeat against his ear.

No words were further exchanged between the two of you. The only sound of crickets and the howling wind echoing throughout the cabin. You knew that this would be a topic for tomorrow and that the only thing that mattered in the moment was Luke getting some deserved sleep. You couldn’t fathom the kind of struggle he went through everyday and you only hoped that your presence at least eased it in some way.

Luke knew that this had to come to an end. He was tired of feeling this way and not getting a reprieve from the Titan. He needed to protect you from the influence of Kronos. No matter what it took.

Sleep finally consumed the both of you after minutes passed. You dreamt of archery and training with your siblings while Luke dreamt only of darkness and guilt.

you can’t tell me percy didn’t do his very best to care for nico because he did. percy tried so hard to be there for nico after bianca’s death because he knew just how gut wrenching it could be to lose someone (sally’s “death”) and be so confused about who to blame, who to look to for comfort. he helped nico despite the storm of shit he was in and he was so sensitive to his plight even if it meant bearing nico’s angry accusations and hurtful words because he understood what shape grief could take, because he understood that nico was just a child.

but you know what?? percy was just a child, too. he was fourteen and shouldering the blame of bianca’s death, feeling so incredibly guilty about it and when nico blew up at him, he accepts it and lets himself be told he’s the reason for his sister’s demise and when nico leaves, he does his level best to keep nico’s parentage a secret because he can’t have this ten year old become the centre of a surely fatal prophecy, because he feels responsible for his safety. this–this forced maturity that percy had to acquire is such a huge failing of the adults around him and it hurts my heart to think this kid was at one time in his life completely okay with being blamed for causing someone’s death if it meant another kid could find some peace of mind.

Leo: every night I sleep with a ruler underneath my pillow.

Frank: what? Why??

Leo, barely holding back laughter: how else am I supposed to know how long I slept.

Hazel: oh god make it stop

[scarlicbread27]

i think we can all agree that luke’s motives were right for his whole anti-gods rebellion but WHY THE ACTUAL FUCK did he choose the child chomper??

he saw this titan and his silly myths and went ‘i want that one’

Artemis in TOA > TTC

Guess who didn't realise there was like 50 books before she started reading Percy Jackson, this girl. Anyway I'm on The sun and The stars and then I have the Kane chronicles and magnus chase then I'm free. (idk what ill do with myself)

[tangerinearies]

If Zeus turned Thalia into a tree to prevent her death, he must have expected something like the fleece to revive her down the line.

So what if Luke’s reason for desperately wanting a quest was because he believed the next one was to be about finding this way to revive thalia… instead, after all his begging, all he got was a dumb place holder quest for an item no one wanted.

Partially deaf Connor Stoll because YES

Lost some of his hearing during the Titan war [how is linked to my headcanons in my AU but there are a few alternate ways you can deafen this mf. eg. Cabin 7's canonical sonic arrows]

He doesn't tell anyone of it at first, he can still fight, he needs to fight. Other people need healing more.

When he does mention it, Travis yells at him for not saying anything and drags him to Will back at the hotel after they raid the store for medical supplies

Will of course cant do anything, the damage is done and he's exhausted from healing Annabeth anyways so he's stuck with it for life.

After the war the Hephaestus cabin start work on hearing aids for him

That gets put on hold for a while because curse of cabin 9

so he has to make do with mortal hearing aids which he breaks in like a week because of all the dumb shit he does

He learns ASL and Greek sign language while waiting. Travis, Malcolm, Drew and Lacy do too.

no but the fact that one day we might get to SEE the character development and evolution of percy going from a reluctant heroic figure to completely embodying what it means to be THE leader of camp halfblood is something i await dearly because percy is soooo important amongst his fellow peers. the way he boosted their morale and never ever stopped thinking of them and their well-being is very personal to me. we often forget that annabeth wasn’t the only one percy left godhood for–it was also to bargain for a better life for the other demigods. percy really is their true leader.
