HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON🎂

So for his birthday I’m elaborating on the headcannon that Jason goes to Valhalla

So, he died in between HoT and SotD

His Valkyrie is a fourteen-year-old einherjar who’s been there for about a decade, named Natalia.

Most people call her Talia, but she lets Jason call her Nat or Natalia because of his own sister, Thalia

And she’s not one of those people who ‘will kill you if you call me anything else’ like SO MANY characters I know, so yeah

Anyway, Natalia was kinda brought to Valhalla by mistake

Her grandfather is Mars, but she didn’t like being cramped with all the Romans, stuck in New Rome, so she left when she was, like twelve

When she was in Boston, she made friends with another Valkyrie (not that she new that) and when a cyclops killed her, the Valkyrie shoved her knife into her hand and waited for another Valkyrie to come

Which one did

And then there was a whole scandal with trying to cover up the fact someone let a Roman into Valhalla, and they ended up covering it by making her a Valkyrie.

It’s happened before, where they bring people in from the wrong pantheons, but this time the Norns told them not to call Pluto and have to do all the paperwork to get her back to the Underworld.

Most of the people she brings in are from the Greek/Roman pantheon, and it’s normally not a fuss.

They have a pretty clean system of lying about the person’s parentage, to not cause panic amongst the residents of Valhalla, but the Thanes usually know.

But it’s a lot harder with Jason, because now there’s Valkyrie Vision so they can’t lie about how he died and there was a lot going on when he died so THAT will be hard to explain.

Natalia’s smart though.

She pulls a Samirah and has her camera “accidentally” facing the sky instead of the ground, and besides all the noise (which makes Jason tear up) and some explosions and the storm things or whatever, no one see’s anything.

So they twist their words.

Jason is related to Thor, they say, but they don’t know how

It’s not a total lie. Thor might be another form of Jupiter, but they aren’t entirely sure what the parallels are.

He can fight well because he was trained in a military school

Not a lie

And he knows both of his parents, who are both assholes he doesn’t miss

They are satisfied with that, even if he doesn’t say whether or not one of those parents is immortal

Backspace a bit, Jason’s room is on Floor 19, but not in the same hall as Alex and Magnus and those guys, because otherwise he probably would have been mentioned in SotD

Jason’s hall mates consist of a daughter of Thor from medieval times, a son of Tyr who died in the first war of Scottish independence (he just remember’s him as the one who lived through Braveheart, though), a viking girl young woman who is much more muscular then any female he’s ever met (which is saying a lot), and a World War Two veteran soldier.

They talk about Magnus’s crew sometimes, since they’re on the same floor and preparing for that big quest

And Jason feels a bit antsy because he’s used to being the one going on the big quests and a part of him wants to help

But the rest of him is completely aware that he’s dead now. He’s not alive. His time is over, until Ragnorok.

Sure, he can help out every now and then, like everyone else, and there’s always the games they play (which he fines blatantly annoying because death is supposed to be when you’re at peace) to keep him on his toes.

He’s still anxious about Apollo and his friends, though it never does occur to him that Magnus, who has the same last name as Annabeth and looks like he could be her little brother, might be related to her, so he never asks.

And Annabeth’s never mentioned Jason.

Even if she has, never enough for Magnus to connect the dots, himself.

And Jason could always send a raven or something or try to get in contact with them,

But he’s dead now.

He wants them to know he’s at peace.

But then he remember’s Nico

Oh, Nico.

Nico’s probably going insane.

He could feel his death, but he couldn’t feel where he was.

The poor son of Hades was probably arguing with his father about knowing where Jason was.

So Jason finds Apollo in a dream and tells him he’s okay and acts like a wise dead guy or whatever

Which he mostly is.

And then one day at breakfast, after everything is over, Jason decides to go over to Magnus’s crew and congratulate them for saving the world.

“Hey,” he says, “I just wanted to congratulate you guys for, you know, saving the world and stuff. I know how hard it can be and how much pressure it can feel like. It was really cool what you did.”

And they kind of look at him weird.

“What do you mean you know?”

And he kind of awkwardly tells them about his own boat trip across the Atlantic with six(ish) friends and how there was some evil earth deity they were trying to stop from rising

And while the others are trying to figure out what deity he’s talking about, Magnus and Alex are like.

Oh.

And that’s all I’ve got for now but I also like the idea of TJxJason but that’s for another time.

Chapter Three: no daddy issues here! none! none whatsoever

It was strange for Magnus to sleep in a bed. He hadn’t in so long before he died. It was even stranger when he was shaken awake by his Valkyrie, a strange smirk on her face.

“Gunilla, what’re you doing here?” He croaked out, mouth dry as sandpaper.

“I have a meeting today and I’m bringing you along to it. It’s in Vanaheim, it’ll be fun!”

By fun Magnus hoped she didn’t mean they would have to cut off someone’s head or anything but since everything else was to the death, why not meetings too? Then again, wasn’t Vanaheim a different world?”

“Where’s that?”

“It’s one of the nine worlds, the home of the Vanir.”

“Who’re they?”

“Gods of nature and healing and… stuff. There’s three main gods, Njord and his children, Frey and Freya.”

“My dad?”

“Yes, barn. I have a meeting with Njord about Jomungandr,” Magnus looked at her questioningly, “I’ll explain later but, go get dressed. I’ll wait in your living room. Be quick.”

Magnus hopped out of bed and quickly pulled on yet another green t-shirt and jeans. There was a hoodie there today too, monogrammed with property of Hotel Valhalla. He grabbed it too. He rarely got cold but the big pocket would be nice and hoods were fun to pull over his head.

He shouted into where Gunilla was, “Do I need my sword too?”

“Yes.”

So he took that too and bounded into the living room where Gunilla was lying on one of his recliners, cleaning her fingernails with a penknife. Magnus hadn’t noticed earlier, when she was waking him up but she wasn’t wearing her uniform today or typical Valkyrie armour but instead a pinafore dress over a longer long sleeved tunic. She still had her hammers though, strapped to her sides by a thick leather belt.

“Good, you’re ready,” she said as she rose from the chair. “We should leave soon or we’ll be late.”

“How are we leaving exactly?”

“Since you’re einherjar, normally you’d have to sign forms to leave but because of my position as Thane and Captain, we can leave without permission and not get in trouble. A little benefit of the job,” she tapped her nose, “All we have to do is take the world tree, which is why I wanted you to bring your sword. It’s also good practice for you to carry it, little one.”

Magnus supposed she was right but he still didn’t like the big chunk of metal at his side. It was heavy and he could barely use it effectively. Knives were much better.

“How did your fight go yesterday?” Magnus told her what happened, “Good job surviving that long. I remember I died in the first twenty minutes of my first battle. Next time, don’t be afraid of hurting people in battle. They want to hurt you,” she prodded her finger into Magnus’ chest, literally driving the point in. “you’re short. That gives you an advantage with your height. Use it.”

Magnus nodded meekly, “How do we get anywhere on a tree?”

“Yggdrasil is the tree that holds all the worlds. You can use it to go from one to another, although, it isn’t the safest.”

“And how do we get there?” Gunilla pointed him to his atrium where his trees were, all calming and beautiful.

“We use one of these,” she grabbed him, slung him on her back and started to climb. Magnus clenched her shoulders, anxious not to fall off. Eventually, she left the trunk for a branch, almost the same size as it and edged along it. The atrium floor was impossible to see now, just as foggy as the Gap. Or maybe it was the Gap now?

Yggdrasil’s trunk was a wall of wood, stretching out in front of them, blocking the entire view. Granted, there wasn’t much of a view but the sheer size of the tree was impressive to say the least.

“So,” he said, trying not to be jostled too much, “How the hell do we get to another world from here? I don’t get it?”

Unlike his mom, Gunilla never scolded Magnus for swearing. Last night, she had even taught him some new words so she probably didn’t care that he was a child.

Then again, neither Luke nor Thalia told off Magnus and Annabeth when they swore. It wasn’t like either of them were raised regularly either. They probably barely knew it was bad.

He felt out with a hand, some kind of instinct guiding him. “So is Vanaheim like sunny and stuff? But also naturey?”

“Yes, that about sums it up.”

“Cause I think we should go down there.” He pointed at a branch where the feeling was coming from. He couldn’t see Gunilla’s face but she felt very still, like she was thinking.

“Yeah, you’re right kid. It’s a weird feeling but I think you’re right.”

She switched branches and continued to crawl along. At this point, Magnus felt like a baby gorilla attached to the back of its mother. Hopefully he would be able to get down soon.

Eventually the branch thinned to such an extent that Gunilla just shouted “Hold on!” and jumped into what might’ve been the abyss.

Thankfully it wasn’t. They landed in some kind of field in a heap. And by heap, Gunilla was unfortunately on top of Magnus. He was extremely grateful that he was super-strong now because otherwise she might’ve crushed him to death.

“Sorry kid,” she said, rolling away and standing up. She brushed the grass off her dress and pulled her braids back into place. “Didn’t mean to fall right on top of you there.”

“It’s okay. Are we here?”

“It looks like it. I need to find a servant of his now. Or Njord himself I suppose.” Magnus had no idea where they would find his grandfather or his servant but thankfully at that moment, a frazzled man in a brown tunic and cape bustled out of the cape.

He nodded at Gunilla but when his eyes lowered to Magnus, they widened in surprise. Only for a second though. Then he strode towards them, all purposeful like.

‘Greetings Thane Gunilla. Are you here for Njord?”

“Yes. This is Magnus,” she nudged him forward with her knee. Magnus tried not to blush in embarrassment. “Hi,” he waved weakly.

The servant bent over to get a good look at him. He had extremely blond hair. “Hello, little prince. My name is Bjorn,”

“Nice to meet you.” Magnus tried to be polite but he was extremely confused. Little Prince? Weird.

Bjorn straightened up. “I will take you to my master now. He’s by the sea, as always. Follow me.” Then he marched across the field.

Gunilla looked at Magnus for a minute, obviously considering something. Magnus had a bad feeling what it was.

She picked him up and ran after the servant.

When they arrived at the beach, there was a man there that reminded Magnus of a lifeguard. He had dark bond hair, like honey, peppered with grey and his skin was golden tanned except for his feet.

It was odd to say, but the man had amazing feet with soft white skin and perfectly pedicured toes. He was also flexing them about like he was showing them off.

Just like Bjorn had, he smiled at Gunilla but startled at Magnus. Was he not meant to be here or something? Should Gunilla have not brought him?

Gunilla bowed her head in deference, which Magnus copied, “Lord Njord, thank you for meeting with me. You have beautiful feet, as always.”

“Thank you Thane Gunilla. Who is the boy?”

“This is Magnus Chase, son of Frey.”

“Ah,” said Njord. “Hello Magnus, I am your grandfather.”

Magnus resisted the urge to make a Star Wars joke, “Hi, Grandpa.”

Njord put his hand behind his back before taking it out with a knife. “Here, boy, take this.”

It was fairly normal, straight ending in a point, with a wooden leatherbound handle. Magnus removed it from its sheath to reveal a steel blade engraved with runes that he didn’t recognise.

“Don’t cut off your fingers, barn, and try not to hurt yourself.” Was all that Gunilla said before she started talking to Njord about adult stuff.

Magnus tried not to listen, he really did, but they were standing so close to him, it would take more effort not to hear them that it would to eavesdrop!

Still, he only heard snippets, “... Jormungandr took… valkyries… of them.” Whatever Jormungandr was or who he was, Magnus didn’t fancy meeting him any time soon.

The knife was nice, it reminded him of when Luke found his old one for him in a monster den. It had probably belonged to another demigod, one that fell unlucky at the hands of the cyclops which he killed by dropping a lead pipe over its head. Celestial bronze might’ve been the only way to cut a monster but internal damage caused by external maiming could definitely kill one too.

Luke had been really nice about it too. He gave Magnus the knife, he won the fight and as a treat they got cake with their dinner (stolen). Luke even taught Magnus how to fight with the knife by feinting and trying not to be seen. Apparently his height was good for something at least.

However, when the conversation turned to him, his eyes strained to hear what was being said, “How do you have my grandson with you, Thane Gunilla? How did he die and why is he not with my daughter.”

“I found him with Greeks on the verge of death but I didn’t realise he was Vanir and it's a bit late now that he’s einherjar.”

“Is it? He doesn’t belong there in Valhalla, he’s a child and always will be now, yes, but that place is not right for him. Not as my son’s child, Frey is the god of peace, for Hela’s sake!”

“I cannot move him or give him to you. You would have to appeal to the whole of the Thanes as well as Odin for that to happen.”

“Very well.”

Then they were turning to look at him so Magnus had to pretend like he wasn’t listening. Twirling the knife around in his hand seemed to do the trick because he wasn’t accused of listening in and Gunilla simply grabbed him.

He decided just to give in and let himself be picked up. It was probably faster anyway.

When Gunilla was looking for something so they could get back to the world tree though, he saw a young man approach Njord. He was blond, summery and gave Magnus the same feeling he got when his mom and him hiked somewhere really high.

They were too far away from the gods to hear what they were saying but he caught one word “... Frey”.

The man was staring right at him, curiosity and surprise on his face. Magnus clutched the knife tightly, knuckles turning white.

And then they were gone.

Magnus wasn’t really paying attention on their journey back but the next thing he knew they were falling out a tree in a park in Boston.

He was quiet on the way back to the hotel, trying to not cry. He wasn’t a baby and he didn’t care about his dad!

He didn’t even hate him but if his dad was a god, why did he let him die, why didn’t he save him! It wasn’t fair!

Magnus was so distracted, he didn’t even notice Gunilla put him down in the lobby, asking him how he was. He rubbed his eyes till they were red and held back a sniff.

Gunilla was frowning at him, maybe in concern, maybe at him in general. She was saying something but her voice sounded like she was on the other side of a waterfall and there was a rushing noise in his ears and he couldn’t hear anything except that one name, his grandfather saying, “Frey”.

His father had been there. That was his dad. Who left him to die. Who let him die. How could he do that?

Magnus didn’t care that his father wasn’t there when he was growing up - him and his mom were fine without him! - but he had powers, powers that could fix stuff and heal and... stop him from dying. But he was here. And he was dead. And his father didn’t even care. Father of the year award goes to… anyone other than Frey.

Even Luke’s father helped them when they were running - he gave them that map to camp and sure, Hermes was a dick but at least he didn’t sit by while his children sacrificed themselves.

He dug his fingernails into his palms, hands curled into fists of righteous anger, skin splitting into half-moons where the nails broke it. He wanted to hit something. To hurt something.

Gunilla was still talking to him, crouched in front of him, holding his shoulder when Magnus broke free. He started running, unaware where he was headed, just dodging spears, swords and his fellow einherjar in the hallways.

Eventually, and he didn’t know how or when, he made it back to his room and collapsed onto the grassy ground in the atrium. He stared up into the branches of the trees, counting the alder and birch leaves that dotted the skyline along with elm and swedish whitebeam.

There were a few on the ground, probably from the climb from this morning. Magnus picked up a couple and started methodically shredding them. First, a tear down the middle, as close to the vein as possible, then every segment was separated as cleanly as he could do it.

It was something he used to do as a competition with his mom when they camped. She was better than him, with good nails to help and better motor skills, but he had done it with Thalia, Luke and Annabeth, when they weren’t at the immediate risk of dying, and it turned out that he was better than any of them at it.

After destroying maybe fifty leaves, there was a knock at the door.

“Hi Magnus, this is Gunilla. Can I come in?”

Magnus wasn’t as upset as he had been before. The anger and fury at his father, at where he was, at pretty much everything, had dissipated. Leaves were good for that. It took up too much of his concentration for him to be thinking about anything else.

It wasn’t Gunilla’s fault he was here (well, not really). Sure, she brought him, but she was just doing her job, like a shop assistant or a doctor or a vet would. Him dying wasn’t her fault. She could do nothing about it. There was no point taking his anger out on her. He could do that to his dad later.

“Sure,” he croaked out, voice sore from holding back tears, and the door opened.

Gunilla walked towards him carefully, like he was a wild animal she didn’t want to frighten away. “What happened, Magnus?”

Magnus took a shuddering breath and hoped he wouldn’t start bawling, “Back in Vanaheim, when we were leaving, I saw - I saw - my dad.”

Gunilla’s eyes softened. She looked older than eighteen, more like eighty. She cleared her throat, “You know, I’ve only met my dad a couple of times, but the first time, well, it was weird. I wasn’t a valkyrie then, just einherjar, but I had done a really big mission for Odin and he came to congratulate me. That’s how I got my necklace,” she touched the gold hammer at the base of her throat, “He wasn’t an ideal dad and when I grew up - there were plenty of kids without fathers but being a bastard? That was shameful. I was angry at him for never being there, not helping me, letting me die. But I also idealised him when I was in Valhalla. He was one of the most popular gods and I was proud of that. Nothing like what they say in the films and stories though. He’s a big muscle bound ball of flatulence and TV addiction. When I met him, TV wasn’t a thing. It was about… 1732, I think, but he loved all these bad stories and novels. Lives for the drama of everything. Along with explosions and stuff. His goats were odd too.”

“Goats?”

“Marvin and Otis are my father’s goats. They pull his chariot and he eats them every night and resurrects them in the morning. I’m pretty sure they have different names but Marvin and Otis are far easier to remember.”

“They’re okay with being eaten? Every day?”

“Like I said, odd. There is an old story where someone ate with my father but broke one of their bones and it resurrected broken. He was really pissed about that.”

“Woah.” Somehow, hearing about Gunilla’s father made Magnus feel better about his. At least, even if Frey was a bad dad, he wasn’t alone in the daddy issues club.

“What do you want to do now? I’m free until dinner.”

Magnus brought out the knife Njord gave him from his hoodie pocket. “Can you teach me how to fight with this? I don’t know very much.”

Gunilla nodded, “No problem.”

now i’m sitting here (before the fire)

Chapter One: this isn’t Elysium?!?

Dying hurt. It hurt like hell.

One second, Magnus was lying on the hill, weakened, dying, ready. The next - he wasn’t.

He felt like he was floating, like he was flying. Then he was dreaming.

Well, not dreaming exactly - more just seeing stuff. He’d heard from Luke that demigods tended to have dreams about important events. It was a bit late for him though. Just a bit.

first line meme

Tagged by the lovely @ejunkiet - thank you so much! ♥

Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favourite opening line. Then tag some of your favourite authors!

I’m going to go by AO3′s order of newest to oldest here; if a pairing has a “main story” it’s marked as multi-chapter.

1. Deja vu \\ Jamais vu [amy x thane / multi-chapter] “It’s not fair,” Amy breathed out, tears streaking down her face.

2. Five hundred courses of the sun [bailey x nate]

She gasps into the darkness, lethargy coating her limbs, and the weight atop her has her struggling for several seconds before she dimly registers that she’s tangled up in her sheets.

3. Good behavior [aveline x mason]

Ava stands beneath the showerhead, scowling at the tiled wall.

4. Voiced desires [ amy x thane]

The bed is soft, cozier than it usually is, and there’s a warm body pressed up against her back.

5. Beyond us [neria x solas]

It is raining in the Nahasin Marshes, something that should not surprise Neria as much as it does.

6. Sweet tidings [ elise x cullen]

It’s the sound of a heavy sigh that has her rousing from the sleep she’d inadvertently slipped into.

7. Distractions [gwen x benji]

Gwen takes a step away from the canvas and stares at it with a critical eye.

8. Addictive [aveline x mason]

It’s close to midnight, and Ava is still in her office, blinking blearily at the computer screen.

9. Unspoken emotions [nikita x adam]

It is hard watching Nikita- no, the Detective, it must be the Detective now, and nothing else- trying to not shift on the examination table as Elidor inspects her injuries.

10. Stir up [thalia x solas]

Thalia loves the kitchen in Solas’ home.

11. Moonlight [rasha x solas]

She’s sitting on a rock, pants rolled up to the knees, feet splashing lazily in the water.

12. Coping mechanisms [aveline x mason]

The sudden drop in noise is telling.

13. For goodness bakes [thalia x solas / multi-chapter]

The morning rush is over, the early morning commuters having hurriedly stopped by for a muffin or two to go with their cups of caffeine, all the more needed when the day is as grey and gloomy as it is.

14. A whole new world [samarra x solas] / multi-chapter]

She lifted her fingers from the laptop and stretched her fingers, letting out a sigh as she worked them from their stiffness.

15. Eidolon [neria x solas]

She hunts.

16. Succumbing [rasha x solas / multi-chapter]

Rasha stands over the body, her pen and pad in hand as she examines the body.

17. DAI: NPC ficlets [general, multi-chapter]

He’s lived in the Hinterlands all his life - like his father, and his father’s father, and all the men before him - content enough to till and tend to the land, to coax it to grow the food they need.

18. The inquisition job [elise x cullen / multi-chapter]

She unloads the last of her groceries from her little sporty hatchback, double checking to make sure the garage door is fully closed and properly locked.

19. Farmer’s market Solas [neria x solas / multi-chapter]

It is mid-morning by the time Lavellan finishes setting up her stall at the Skyhold Farmer’s Market.

20. What could have been [neria x solas]

Her heart’s going to fly clean out of her chest any second.

#wip meme #ask meme #this was really interesting #i guess i like to start off with setting the scene first?#definitely can see a difference between the one-shots and the multi-chapters #feels like i'd have written more if it weren't for my need to write stories with multiple chapters #apparently i can only do one-shots for challenges?#[cough lets ignore fuckuary hmm?]
