I feel so bad for zephyr, what are some of her happiest memories? Would it be first meeting the members of her local group? I assume they would be built after her, was she excited about them being built or was she not informed at all?
she wouldn't be very... Present. most likely hadn't managed to be there for every Iterator when they first came online. she is very removed from most of her group because she's unable to stick in the chats for too long with all the damage and her endless attempts to conserve herself as much as possible, so her interactions with others outside of the Anemoi (and this one guy called Orion's Pathway) are extremely limited
Boreas, though, ever the life-saver, updates her on any new Iterator projects being build, how are the already existing ones doing- see she is kind of hard to cheer up and as a rule she never really laughs, but oh hearing about successes of others always manages to make her happy. that has been a thing for her since day one!
so Boreas would make a list of the Eo group's achievements with Euros and Orion's help and he'd read them out for her during their routine calls. those calls are probably one of her happiest memories, since she got so much serotonin and motivation out of hearing about her family (n also just in general- their start might've been rocky but Zeph n B really really love each other [platonically ofc])
they might not Know her, only be aware that their senior is called Abet Zephyr and her appearances are strangely rare, but she loves them all. if she hadn't, it wouldn't be called Mission Self-preservation. it'd be way more revenge focused. her number one priority is the safety of her family even if she doesn't know them personally. she puts them above her anger, physical and emotional trauma cuz she just fuckin loves them that much
her other happy memories include some stuff with Sparrows! after Zephyr allows her opinion about the Ancients develop, she finds herself glad whenever Sparrows would show up to do some more repairs and spend some time with the old humidifier. jgklsdmclk just like with a grandma, Sparrows would show her some stuff on her phone/Mechanic's watch and Zeph would be confused about it but she gets to spend the time with someone she likes so it's okay
along with Euros on a call the three of them would sing folk songs from Sparrows' home with Boreas usually listening in, very rarely joining in
Zephyr wasn't given overseers until Sparrows showed up for the first time, too, so when she synced with the eyes and took a peak outside for the first time in her life, that was... that stuck with her as a strong memory, too. can't exactly say it was a Happy memory, but only cuz there was so much happening in her emotionally in that moment that simplifying it to a singular one wouldn't really represent it right
here's her lighting up while Boreas tells her about positive recent events of the group
her antennas are broken- that's why they are always down like that- but Dammit she is Happy we Gotta wiggle 'em at least a wee bit

hello, hello!! first of all, i just wanna tell you that your fics got me kickin' my feet and shi. with that said, can i request a luke castellan x gn! reader where reader is a minor god's kid and so they're staying at cabin 11 it was just this fluffy thing where luke and them are just being domestic and all that, like almost acting like parents to the younger kids? i'm such a sucker for domestic fluff it's INSANE
lego blocks
luke castellan x reader — percy jackson and the olympians
[gn!child of eos reader]
summary: parental figures are hard to come by at camp half-blood, so you and luke (barely old enough to not need them yourselves) take up the mantle where you can. and, well, it’s the hermes cabin, so it’s a little more chaotic than anyone bargained for.
warnings: like two minor swear words, pure fluff, kissing, reader is called pretty (but reader is still gn)
word count: 1.4k
(hiiii omg thank you for this request it’s so cute and was so fun to write!! and thank you for your compliments ahhh you’re so sweet! AND DOMESTIC FLUFF IS WHERE ITS AT FR i can’t believe i haven’t written any before smhhhh)
——————————————
scarcely a day in the hermes cabin went by without an injury, an issue or an altercation.
just in the last week alone, you’d seen a fist fight, an argument, many stolen belongings, three bad nightmares and six threats of death or violence. it was your job (unofficially) to diffuse the tension. and it was luke’s job (officially) to have your back.
just like every morning, you woke up at dawn. as a child of eos, goddess of the dawn, you were always awake with the sun. the moment dawn struck, you, like the apollo cabin, snapped awake. it was something you’d complained with them about many times, but it eventually became something you found yourself at least trying to enjoy.
you slipped out of bed quietly and padded across the dim cabin to the door, stepping out onto the porch to watch as the sky turned from dark blues to soft pinks.
just as the sun was beginning to peek through the trees, you heard footsteps behind you.
“morning,” luke’s gravelly morning voice reached you as he rested his chin on your shoulder and hugged you from behind. “pretty today.”
“it is,” you sighed contently, leaning back into him.
he yawned. “meant you.”
you smiled and turned in his arms, pressing a kiss just beside his lips. he pouted.
“brush your teeth first, and then i’ll kiss you properly,” you teased.
he just sighed a little, a small gracing his face, before looking away to watch the sunrise.
you had only around ten minutes before you had to wake everyone else in the cabin up, and you’d be damned if you weren’t going to enjoy the peaceful quiet and sweet chirping of birds in the trees for as long as you could.
it would become hectic later, when you had to rouse everyone from their sleep and rush them to the dining pavilion for breakfast. you never enjoyed it, and you often wondered how luke had managed it on his own before you came along. so you soaked up the sun rays peeking through the leaves, watching as the world around you turned from blue to gold in a dazzling array of colours that made you ever grateful for your parentage, and relaxed in the warmth of luke’s embrace. the peace wouldn’t last for long. it never did.
“tom, put the knife down!” you called across the room as you moved a chess piece along the board. a groan came from a few bunks over and the sound of a knife hitting the floor echoed. “and, max, will you please stop trying to fight jennifer? she’s gonna kick your ass again, and i’m not even gonna tell her off or patch you up.”
a disappointed, “fine!” came back in return, followed by jennifer’s teasing.
“jennifer!”
“sorry!” she replied.
your chess opponent, a young girl you were almost sure was a daughter of athena, scowled at your move and studied the board, giving you a chance to look around at the hermes cabin.
it was your scheduled downtime between activities and dinner, and while some of the residents of cabin 11 were out around camp, many were inside playing games or hanging out. so, that was where you were—diffusing the tension every time you had to and pretending to enjoy chess because sandy really wanted to play, and who were you to deny her hobbies?
two hands landed on your shoulders and a kiss pressed to your cheek. you could smell the familiar scent of pine, sword polish and leather—luke.
“hey, babe,” he said softly. “any issues?”
sandy moved a piece on the board. “check.”
“again?” you leaned forward in shock. “okay, uh… yeah, the only issue is how i win this game, actually. oh, and tom’s got that knife back somehow and he won’t stop threatening khalid with it. i’m a little concerned about them. max and jen should be fine now, but maybe check on them? oh, and make sure callie hasn’t stolen any snacks again? last time, she got really sick and—“
“and we stayed up all night making sure she was okay, i remember. i’ll check on presley too. make sure he’s not drawing on the walls again.” luke patted your shoulders gently as he stepped away. “i got it. you focus on winning.”
“i’m trying,” you pouted. realistically, you weren’t too bad at chess. however, you felt like it was only fair to give sandy a chance to show off, since she’d been in the hermes cabin, unclaimed, for a month now. you knew how that felt. before your mother claimed you, you’d been unclaimed for just under two months. in all fairness, you’d always flown under the radar, until your sunshine and smiles reputation breached the walls you’d attempted to build up and you started dating the golden boy of camp half-blood. the second that had happened, just over seven months ago, everything changed. suddenly, you had respect, appreciation, love, family. so maybe you didn’t have your own cabin. and maybe you were stuck in one that was full to the brim of kids. and maybe you had to be somewhat of a parent for many of those kids—those who missed their families, who had never had families, who had never had a place to call their own. but did you mind? not at all. it would have been impossible without luke though. it was like he could read your mind sometimes. he knew, just as well as you did, all of the ins and outs of the kids in your cabin, how to appease the older kids, entertain the younger ones, and make sure the cabin was still standing by the end of the day. you’d never know what you did in a past life to deserve him, but it had to have been something goddamn saintly.
finally, you moved a piece. you knew it would easily put you in checkmate, but you didn’t mind.
sandy’s eyes lit up. she moved her knight into position and looked up at you, grinning widely. “checkmate!”
“no way!” you protested. “how did you even—?”
“i’m good at chess.” she blushed a little.
“uh, yeah, you are.” you extended a hand over the small table to her. “good game.”
“good game.” she shook your hand with a smile and skipped away to gloat to her friends.
luke’s arm slipped around your shoulders as he sat next to you. “you let her win?”
“no, of course not,” you lied with a smile. “and if i did i’d never compromise my dignity by telling you.”
you could see his smile out of the corner of your eye. “sure. my bad.”
you hummed and turned to kiss him, but just before your lips could meet, a resounding “ew!!” echoed through the cabin.
you pulled away to see what was going on. maybe another bug needed dealing with? or someone had thrown up or wet their pants? no. everyone was staring at you and luke. you frowned. “wait, what?”
“you guys were about to kiss,” tom cringed, somehow holding a new knife. “that’s gross.”
luke laughed while you shook your head in amusement.
“it’s not gross!” you protested. “and put that knife down.”
“it is!” one of the slightly older girls exclaimed as tom dropped the knife on his bunk with a groan.
murmurs of agreement followed.
you laughed along with luke as he cupped your cheek in his hand and kissed you, deliberately slow and sweet, much to the chagrin of the campers around you.
you pulled away first, laughing, as someone threw a lego block at you and luke, hitting you in the arm lightly.
“hey!” luke laughed and tossed it back in their general direction. “no one throws lego blocks at my partner.”
before either of you could do anything, lego blocks were flying.
through your laughs and trying to hide behind luke as a shield, you could only feel love for your boyfriend and the kids you both chose to spend your time looking after. despite the fact that they threw legos at you, and despite the fact that you weren’t related to any of them. this was your family. a messed up, too big, far too crowded unit of kids and teenagers, all crammed in one room, connected by two things alone: the fact that you were all thrust into this messed up magical world with no preparation, and love.
and lego blocks, apparently.

rate all the greek mytho married couples from most to least interesting (or your favorite to least favorite, depends on you!)
For fun I’ve split them into four categories:
The Really Interesting category, made their relationship everyone’s problem:
- Zeus and Hera (duh)
- Helen and Menelaus (happy ending)
- Helen and Paris (oof! ending)
- Odysseus and Penelope (has a whole word dedicated to their like-minded thinking)
- Rhea and Cronus (tragedy and cannibalism)
- Jason and Medea (tragedy and filicide)
- Clytemnestra and Agamemnon (tragedy and filicide and mariticide and matricide and misogyny and and OH gods-)
- Peleus and Thetis (the arranged mortal marriage blues, but in my head Thetis immortalized Peleus somehow by force and keeps him in her attic) (Because gods be damned if she will be the only one doomed to grieve Achilles)
- Orpheus and Eurydice (mf really went to hell for her and still didn’t get her back :<)
- Hector and Andromache (relatively the most normal ones in this category but still very tragic. Like don’t even ask.)
- Hecuba and Priam (them too)
The Really Cute couple category, bonus if it took them long to get there:
- Hephaestus and Aglaia
- Eros and Psyche
- Dionysus and Ariadne
- Perseus and Andromeda (they kinda remind me of Prince Philip and Aurora which is cute)
- Hebe and Heracles (listennn. they’re cute and important to the Heracles-Hera feud ending)
- Hippomenes and Atalanta (RIP Meleager)
- Philemon and Baucis (one of my fave Zeus myths)
- Alcestis and Admetus (Orpheus and Eurydice but with a happy ending thanks to the interference of Apollo)
- Iphis and Ianthe (trans man rep is good someone PLEASE write about them)
- Tethys and Oceanus (placing them here idc they are cute in my head!! The only titan couple who survived rip to Coeus/Phoebe and all the failed marriages thanks to the Titanomachy)
The Uhhh… Okay Category
- Hades and Persephone (placing them here because while I do think their relationship is interesting AND I find good various retellings of them (excluding LO) like Hades Supergiant, Hadestown, etc I long for more neutral/nuanced takes on the kidnapping, not just by their romance (or lack of romance) but Demeter’s role in the story to be more respected. (It also can’t be helped that HxP has the most over saturated greek mythology content everywhere that people get tired of seeing them, especially portrayed as the “only good greek myth couple” like okay get outta here)
- Gaia and Uranus (I like them, their relationship is clearly important for Cronus’ succession story, but their conflict to me seems so.. short lived? Like you have your son castrate your husband for imprisoning your less appealing babies but now the strife is gone and you work together to tell your son he is destined to be overthrown by his son and telling your grandson to cannibalize his wife as good advice??? Like good for them ig but Rhea and Cronus just do it better imo)
- Hypnos and Pasithea (getting ur wife from a deal with her mom that makes you commit treason by inducing your king with sleep… nothing sketchy about this at allll) (but maybe they’re cute and functional besides that who knows)
- Ceyx and Alcyone (in one version they didn’t do it, in the other they’re just… very dumb to call themselves Zeus and Hera.)
- Procris and Cephalus (eos RUINS lives)
- Hephaestus and Aphrodite (lets be glad it ended bc while they are interesting and Hephaestus did make their marital strife public, I just think they had a better relationship after the divorce)
The Kinda Boring category (to me, subjectively, put down the pitchforks)
- Poseidon and Amphitrite (do they have one myth together that isn’t the Delphin seduction myth… Amphitrite is nice to Poseidon’s worst son. That’s. That’s kinda it. I wish we had more, like how they are with their children or literally anything else to depict a dynamic between them. Especially since they ARE supposed to be the king and queen of the sea. But nope. At least with Oceanus and Tethys they’re both obscure in their personalities so headcanoning stuff is fun to me. Poseidon having a well established personality and Amphitrite… oh dear Amphitrite…)
- Cadmus and Harmonia (they’re a couple in order become ascendants of more tragic humans like Actaeon, Semele and that’s it. They become Snakes in the end to repent for Cadmus’ mistake. Nothing really about their relationship with each other)
- Deucalion and Pyrrha (The Greek rendition of Christianity’s Noah’s Ark and yeah. Thats it)

…
“whew..” you breathed out as you stepped out the shower.
‘this hotel was perfect’ you thought to yourself, nothing like a vacation with your boyfriend to take your mind off of things. The beach was right outside and the waves crashed perfectly on shore.
Freshly painted toes stepping on the shower mat, the rest of your feet followed to the bathroom mirror. Picking up the towel you wrapped it around yourself. The material soaked up all the water and left you dry. Hygiene was a big thing for you, you constantly went to target smelling new lotions, perfumes, soaps everything. When you got your hands on the new Fenty beauty body butter you were eager to try it.
Picking up the small cream you quickly opened it and rubbed it on your body. The scent flooded your nose making you smile. Your hand reached to the EOS vanilla cashmere and mixed it in with the Fenty cream creating a vanilla cakey scent. You rubbed it all over your body and eventually put on your new House of CB bikini.
It was revealing but you were planning to bask in the sun today. Suddenly, your boyfriend walked in and audibly groaned.
“Baby what is that? You smell amazing.” He walked up behind you, digging his nose in the crook of your neck leaving small kisses.
“Oh my god..” He groaned. “I could eat you right now” He spun you around so you faced him. His hands stopped at your waist, thumbs rubbing up and down on your thighs.
“Yeah? you could eat me?” You joked, lips ghosting over his.
“Yeah.” He closed the gap, kissing you sensually. His tongue brushed across yours. It was slow and thoughtful because you smelled like a delicacy and that’s what he wanted to treat you as.
Breaking the kiss, you whispered.. “Order whip cream.” His eyes lit up like a little boy and ran to call room service. You followed him, chin resting on his shoulder as he excitedly spoke.
When it arrived, he wasted no time. With a light push you landed on your back onto the bed and your boyfriend hovered over you. His lips decorated light kisses along your skin. He kissed down your stomach until he reached your underwear to which he swiftly removed. Grabbing the whip cream can he swirled it on your aching clit, then he wrapped his lips around the bud sucking intently.
“Mmm~” you moaned, hands reaching to grab his hair, scratching his scalp.
He then licked a stripe passed your folds, pushing his face deeper into your pussy. He passionately licked and sucked wanting you to feel the utmost pleasure. The longer he was down there the more the scent pushed into his nose driving him crazy.
“Fuck.. You taste so good.” He whimpered. He placed kisses alongside your thighs before returning to eat you out. His lips were soaked in your essence it was all so erotic, the desperation of it all brought you to that point. His hand reached up to press down on your lower stomach while his thumb recklessly rubbed your clit.
“i’m gonna cum~ Fuck. Fuck” You mewled, breaths becoming heavier and heavier until you came. In your boyfriends head you looked like a lava cake, the way your cum was flowing out of your pussy made his dick twitch. You noticed that and flipped him over so he was on his back and you straddled him.
“Thank you baby.” You smiled and picked up the whip cream can putting some in your mouth before kissing him. Both your tongues danced around in the cream before it finally disappeared. To which you took his dick out of his pants and sunk down on it, causing both of you to gasp.
“Spit.” You ordered.
He listened and his saliva fell onto where you two were joined loosening some of the friction. You began rocking your hips and his head fell back in bliss.
“Shit.. just like that.” He moaned.
His hands were on your waist and he was moving you along his veiny dick. Hitting the spots both you and him liked. It was slow and sensual at first until you started going faster slamming yourself onto him your head leaned back.
“Does that feel good?” You breathed out.
“Yes mommy, please don’t stop.”
He could feel you pulsating against him and your pussy was sucking him in. It was too much, but he just couldn’t get enough. He thrusted up to meet your movements as you both moaned basking in each others pleasure.
“I’m gonna cum, can you cum with me? please mommy.” He whimpered. Eyebrows furrowed and lips red from biting them too much.
“Mhm~” You hummed in his ear as he thrusted up, repeatedly hitting your cervix. Seeing the face you make when he hits that spot is so meaningful to him, he would do anything to see it over and over again.
“Fuck, I’m so close. Please Please” You cried out as you felt that familiar knot in your stomach come undone.
“I know baby, cum.. just like that sweet girl.” He groaned as he felt himself release into you.
Both of you were breathing heavy as you calmed down. He was still inside you. Your boyfriend then grabbed the can of whipped cream and sprayed some on your nipples before licking it off.
“Babe..” You giggled, hands tangled in his hair.
There was a short silence before he asked
“Okay but seriously what was that lotion?” He asked
“Fenty.”
“Rihanna did her thing.” He said.
“Mhm..” You hummed
𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐂𝐀𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐒��𝐄𝐄𝐓 𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 ‧₊˚❀
this gives me gojo or armin vibes but imagine whoever ♡ ♡
