"one should not touch that if one does not know how to use it," zoe said, appearing silently from the tree line. she had sensed the presence of someone in the archery clearing. heard their feet crunch on the remaining fallen leaves. "does thou come for a lesson? they do not start for a few more weeks," she said, running a hand over a bow's curve before picking it up off a stand.

thalia grace & zoe nightshade @lcngliive
"we're closing soon." thalia warned the person who'd walked into the room. they had pretty much done all their close-out duties and were just biding time for the clock when the last person walked into the vinyl music shop.

zoe wanted to argue again. because she would always feel as though it was her fault. if she was thinking properly, she would have taken someone more experienced. zoe had faith in bianca, that much was true, but the quest was dangerous. she nodded though, at his words. "we succeeded in the end, so our deaths were not in vain," zoe admitted. "yes, hopefully me being here means bianca may be too."
Tumblr media
Nico shook his head, raising a hand to try and stop her apology but he didn't interrupt. "It's not your fault Zoe, never was. Bianca made her choices, she wanted to be a Hunter, and wanted to go with you on that quest. Had we talked about this years ago maybe I would've blamed, you, but I don't anymore. It wasn't your fault, and I'm sorry you didn't end up surviving that quest either." Nico was being genuine, not wanting the woman to blame herself for something she hadn't actively done. If anyone other than his sister was to blame it was likely himself, for making her feel like she needed to take that figurine for him in the first place. "Glad to see you ended up here."

random facts about random riordanverse characters from my characters doc:
percy jackson: thalia once dyed his hair neon green (which, he has black hair, so no clue how) and it lasted for two weeks before washing out entirely
thalia grace: actually very close to will solace. he treated her when she first woke up, and reminded her of jason. she's basically a big sister now. she threatened nico about him.
nico di angelo: got so nervous about asking will out he accidentally asked in chinese, before reverting to welsh, and then latin. finally, he stutters it out in a mix of greek, italian, and english (luckily will understands all three). unfortunately, will responds in sign language for some reason??? nico doesn't know sign language.
meg mccaffrey: meg has a horrendous obsession with gatorade. like. she won't drink water, it's gatorade or nothing. apollo is SO concerned because he doesn't know what gatorade is and also it looks VERY unnatural.
leo valdez: not only can he cook tacos, he knows how to make tamales. actually, while on the argo ii, he and percy made most of the food. this man can COOK.
will solace: has a habit of always carrying pens around with him (both as a way of keeping close to michael, who collected pens before his death, and just bc he's in the infirmary so much) and he clicks them ALL THE TIME as a fidget. people forcibly take them from him sometimes.
Annabeth Chase: she's autistic and so is her dad. part of why they have so much trouble having a good relationship with each other. they both have really black and white thinking styles.
Calypso: she's like 7 feet tall.
Magnus Chase: he really likes the chronicles of narnia series. when he was a kid, he dressed up like the lion for three halloweens in a row. his favorite is the lion the witch and the wardrobe.
Alex Fierro: felines are easier than canines in regards to shapeshifting.
Sadie Kane: she likes strawberry ribena the best
Carter Kane: he wants to grow his hair out. when he's in his twenties, he does. sadie helps him braid it.
Clarisse La Rue: after her mission in ttc, she's extremely claustrophobic.
Piper McLean: the reason she was so against feminine stuff in TLH is because she was so sexualized by the media when she was girly. so she openly rejected it.
Travis Stoll: makes oddly specific t-shirts about what happens at camp. like, “I defeated the greek personification of time this summer and all i got was this lousy tee shirt.”
Connor Stoll: isn't dyslexic. loves reading.
Katie Gardner: she drops out of college after her first semester. it just wasn't for her. she owns a flower shop called petal to the metal, where she says "have a punk rock day" to all her customers.
clovis: he doesn't actually need to sleep 24/7, he just doesn't want to interact with people.
Cecil Markowitz: a threesome baby. no, really. he's 25% his mum, 25% his dad, and 50% hermes. he-- he has a lot of questions and no answers, and that's probably for the better.
Lou Ellen Blackstone: she's black, and usually keeps her hair in braids. before alabaster torrington defected he did it (he's white, learned just for her), and after, beckendorf did her hair.
Zoe Nightshade: she's regenerating. she was a titaness, she'll be back.
Lee Fletcher: he dropped out of high school. it wasn't for him. got his GED and took college classes on the side til he died, but personally modern schooling wasn't really for him.
Rachel Dare: when she turns 21 and gains access to her trust fund, she immediately donates the entire thing.
Hazel Levesque: definitely the person who always has a cardigan/sweater for you to use if you get cold.
Frank Zhang: goes back and finds his grandmother after HoO
Jason Grace: jiper was comphet. he's gay.
Reyna: didn't actually join the hunt. i don't think that really is a natural character ending? she is ace though.
Grover: turns out pan passing his spirit on to grover actually made grover a god?? yeah grover didn't realise for //years//
juniper: fought in the battle of manhattan. she just brought a couple of her berries with her.
Chris Rodriguez: following going insane and becoming sane again, he develops anorexia to regain his sense of control over his life.
Drew Tanaka: she's actually aro-ace.
Malcolm Pace: in an effort to always be prepared he sleeps in jeans and street clothes, and always has a bag of supplies on him.
Ellis Wakefield: is from somalia. his first language is somali. he speaks somali, english, arabic, and greek.
Mitchell: went to military school for a bit. has a habit of calling people sir/ma'am after every sentence now.
michael yew: has the gift of prophecy, knew going into manhattan that he was going to die.
miranda gardiner: summer only camper, takes over counselor during the summer (katie doesn't want it. also she's vietnamese. i know thats two facts i just think it's important.
sherman yang: he has two dads. his mortal dad's name is jeff. sherman sees him like, one week every two months? jeff lives in seattle.
jake mason: he's got a fish named bubbles. he says it's because harley wanted to name it. he lies.
silena beauregard: summer only camper, she volunteers at a domestic abuse shelter during the year, and hopes to go into social work.
charles beckendorf: he was 16 when he died, but had finished HS work 2 years early. had been accepted to MIT. he wouldn't have gone, anyway, because of the expense, too far from camp, but-- it had been a nice dream
Nyssa Barrera: she's a year round camper, and always been mad that taking care of harley fell to her.
Lacy: physically disabled. she's got JRA, and is in a wheelchair part time.
Harley: really likes unsweetened cheerios.

Goddess
Tumblr media
pairings…zoë nightshade x fem!goddess of the hunt
description…zoë joins the hunt and meet you, a minor goddess of the hunt aka the right hand woman of Artemis. she quickly falls for you but doesnt think your her soulmate.
warnings…fluff
requested…yes
w/c… 464 words 2423 characters
an…im so so sorry this came out so late ive been busy and when i wasnt i was lazy ive been busy with a summer camp and i finished this in the car before another summer camp.
It was late at nice when you both met. Zoe walked into Artemis’ tent hoping to join the hunt. You stood to Artemis’ right. “Hello, do you require anything?”
“I would like to join the hunt” Zoe said firmly.
“Do you understand the things you must leave behind?”
“Yes ma’am.”
“You cannot fall for any man, you become immortal, and never interact with man.”
“I understand.”
“Good. Welcome to the hunt. My partner will show you to your tent.”
You walked forward and out the tent, Zoe following close behind. “What is your name?”
“I’m Zoë. Can I ask your name?”
“You will find out soon enough. I’m one of the minor goddesses of the hunt.”
You reached the tent she would be staying at which had another girl in it. “You two will be sharing a room. Get along.” You spoke and walk off back to Artemis.
Zoë swore she was freaking out. Her heart was beating so quickly. How was she so pretty.. She quickly snapped out of it. There was no way she was her soulmate.
You started to head back to the tent with Artemis. “The new girl, her name I believe is Zoë, she acts weird around me. I do not understand why.”
“Really? I will find out why soon dear.”
“Thank you ma’am.” Night passed into morning, and morning passed to night. No words were spoken from Artemis about Zoë.
Artemis visited Zoë at her tent when her tent partner wasn’t there. “How are you adjusting here.”
“It’s been good.”
“How do you think of the other goddess here?”
“Uhm, I’m not sure.. She’s very pretty.”
“You think so?”
“I do, I love her hair, she’s very gorgeous.”
“Do you think you are her soulmate?”
“Oh I don’t know about that..”
“You should tell her. I know she will not mind.”
“I can’t do that.. That’s awkward!”
Artemis chuckled. “It’s not awkward, many of the girls of the hunt have said such about both me and her”
“Are you sure?”
“Oh of course!”
“I’ll tell her soon..” Artemis left the tent and Zoë thought about what she would say.
Artemis knew that the two were soulmates but it isn’t right to tell them.
“Excuse me.. I’m sorry if this is a bother but I was to speak to you” Zoë walked up to you. She only reached your shoulder so you had to look down.
“Yes, what is wrong dear?”
“Nothing I just wanted to tell you something..”
“Which is?”
“I think you’re really pretty and I hope it isn’t weird to say but I have a crush on you”
“Really? Oh well I think you are quite pretty as well.” They started to feel something weird like they were drawn together.
“Are we soulmates?”
“I believe so.”

Calypso ReWrite
So a LOT of people don’t like Calypso which is… fair enough
Since I refuse to accept canon I decided to try and ‘fix her’ (I am not a writer) so tell me what you think!
(P.S. If you like Calypso (ESPECIALLY if you like Caleo) please scroll - This is just a thought experiment but I don’t want to insult anyone)
In the Odyssey, Odysseus is trapped on Ogygia with Calypso for 7 years. Calypso falls in love with Odysseus and rapes him during that time. This does not work for a children’s book, so Rick changed it so that Calypso is cursed to fall in love with every man that comes to her island, which is still weird because she’s now 16.
In my version, she’s an adult. When Odysseus shows up, she doesn’t fall in love with him, but grows an unhealthy attachment to him due to being stuck on her island for thousands of years. (though she does mistake this for love) She doesn’t assault him, but still keeps him trapped in Ogygia for the 7 years, before she is told to release him. She gives him a parting gift of Moonlace before she leaves.
When Percy shows up, she’s doing a bit better due to visits from Hermes. (They traded drugs) When she finds the strange child half-dead on her island, she cleans him up and stays with him until he wakes up, and heals him for some time.
She ends up trauma-dumping to telling Percy about her past. How she had been imprisoned on Ogygia for supporting her father, Atlas, in the Titanomachy, and could never leave. He asks her about Odysseus, and she tells him how she hurt him in many ways and could only beg for forgiveness. In the end, once Percy is fully healed, she sends him off with Moonlace.
When Leo shows up, all of the above happens again, but she opens up more. She tells him about how she had been the ‘weak link’ among her sisters (Pleiades) and when the rest became a constellation, she was imprisoned on Ogygia. They also had similar interests, with Calypso enjoying designing things similar to what Leo builds. (There are many small mechanical-magic animals on Ogygia) Leo, relating to their shared belief of being the weak link (neither of them actually were) vows to help her escape. She gives him Moonlace as a parting gift just like the others.
It is important to note that her interactions with Percy and Leo are PURELY PLATONIC. She’s traumatized and bonded with the first beings she saw who weren’t her dealer
After Leo frees her and they do some adventuring, she goes of on her own, and blesses Leo. (Maybe she joins the hunters, or works for Iris. Who knows.)
She never curses Annabeth since she doesn’t have a crush on Percy so all is well.
…I just made Zoe Nightshade in a different font. Gods dammit Rick.

[ braid ] sender begins to braid receiver's hair (from Artemis) @seccndchances
Tumblr media
zoe let out a soft hum at the familiar feeling of having her hair woven gently by her lady. it was comfort, a reminder of how times used to be between them both after a hunt. even the new hunting ground artemis had acquired in the woods made it feel oh so familiar in an odd world. "thank you, my lady," zoe said turning over her shoulder slightly to look. she had been starting to do it on her own, but zoe had always preferred the way artemis braided. the styles she did. "though, you don't have to trouble yourself with it." but she did want her to continue. liking the feeling of her hair softly entwined with the goddess' fingers.

WHY HEROES OF OLYMPUS IS MY LEAST FAVOURITE RRVERSE SERIES
Disclaimer: I like Heroes of Olympus and every single book in the RRverse, it's just a few things I found lacking so stfu before you come fuming
Spoiler warning for both Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan
Most of my issues boil down to some aspects which had potential for exploration but were just forgotten
The potential of some of the friendships between the Seven (we all know Piper and Percy would dominate)
Percy and Annabeth being forgotten after GOING THROUGH TARTARUS?! YOU CAN'T TELL ME THEY'RE NOT TRAUMATISED
also also also Dark Percy would be so fucking cool (not exactly a criticism, just something that would've been interesting)
Shipping every other character (case in point: Caleo)
The battle in Blood of Olympus is kinda lackluster. Half of the Last Olympian was the battle between the demigods and the Titans but here it's eh just Piper, Leo and Jason doing their thing (I'm glad Rick didn't go that route for The Tower of Nero, The Tower of Nero was good shit)
Okay let's be honest lots of these criticisms are of Blood of Olympus I enjoyed Blood of Olympus but there wasn't enough payoff for some things hinted earlier in the series (like the implication of Percy not being able to sacrifice something given his fatal flaw is loyalty)
The antagonists are fine tbh, they're just not as compelling as Luke Castellan from PJO was
The plot IS high stakes, but you what would make it even MORE high stakes? Death, which there isn't enough of! It would just make it more meaningful and no Leo doesn't count he comes back to life I feel like he should've stayed dead he doesnt do shit in The Trials of Apollo. Beckendorf, Silena, Luke, Zoe Nightshade: these deaths were all so impactful. The killings started in The Titan's Curse and when they started, it was like "Oh SHIT we're really in it now"
Anyways a few things I just wanna point out that aren't criticisms
I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT PERCABETH'S GREY STREAKS FADED I REJECT THAT CANON
Ngl I don't care about the Curse of Achilles getting washed away like yeah it was cool in The Last Olympian okay bye lmao
WHERE WAS GROVER MAN COMES FOR ONE SCENE IN THE ENTIRE SERIES HE WAS PERCY'S BEST FRIEND 😭
To end it here, I do want to say that I like Heroes of Olympus and that I'm a fan of the Riordanverse. The characters and their interactions (at least what we got), the return of old characters like Percy and Annabeth, the action and adventure, the prophecy, the high stakes, the return to the world of the Greek gods, the humour, the angst: I thoroughly enjoyed it. Again, it's just a few criticisms. Just cause you criticise something you love doesn't mean you don't love it at all.
Anyways Trials of Apollo is way better the villain is incredible and the ending HOLY SHIT THE ENDING MADE ME CRY LIKE A BABY THE LAST PARAGRAPH WAS IMMACULATE

chapter six
< previous: chapter five
Tumblr media
Y/N wanted to think that Percy took the news well, but his expression clearly defined his distaste for the situation.
The truth was, Percy wanted to strangle the Hunters of Artemis one eternal maiden at a time. The rest of the day he tried to keep busy but was worried sick about Annabeth. He kept messing up in any activity he joined.
At the top of Half-Blood Hill, Mr. D and Argus were feeding the baby dragon that guarded the Golden Fleece. Then it occurred to him: no one would be in the Big House. There was someone else...something else he could ask for guidance.
His blood was humming in his ears as he ran into the house and took the stairs. He'd only done this once before, and he still had nightmares about it. He opened the trap door and stepped into the attic.
Over by the window, sitting on a three-legged stool, was the shriveled-up mummy of an old lady in a tie-dyed hippie dress. The Oracle.
Percy made himself walk toward her. He waited for the green mist to billow from the mummy's mouth like it had before, but nothing happened.
"Hi," he said. "Uh, what's up?"
Percy winced at how stupid that sounded he said a little louder, "I have a question. I need to know about Annabeth. How can I save her?"
No answer. The sun slanted through the dirty attic window, lighting the dust motes dancing in the air.
He waited longer.
Soon he got angry and said, "All right, fine. I'll figure it out myself."
That night after dinner, Percy was seriously ready to beat the Hunters at capture the flag. It was going to be a small game: only thirteen Hunters, including Bianca di Angelo, and about the same number of campers.
Zoe Nightshade looked pretty upset. She kept glancing resentfully at Chiron like she couldn't believe he was making her do this. The other Hunters didn't look too happy, either. Unlike last night, they weren't laughing or joking around. They just huddled together in the dining pavilion, whispering nervously to each other as they strapped on their armor. Some of them even looked like they'd been crying. Maybe Zoe had told them about her nightmare.
One team had Percy, Y/N, Beckendorf, and two other Hephaestus guys, a few from the Ares cabin (though it still seemed strange that Clarisse wasn't around), the Stoll brothers, and Nico from Hermes cabin, and a few Aphrodite kids. It was weird that the Aphrodite cabin wanted to play. Usually, they sat on the sidelines, chatted, and checked their reflections in the river and stuff, but when they heard they were fighting the Hunters, they were raring to go.
"I'll show them 'love is worthless,'" Silena Beauregard grumbled as she strapped on her armor. "I'll pulverize them!"
That left Thalia and Percy.
"I'll take the offense," Thalia volunteered. "You and Y/N can take defense."
"Oh." Percy hesitated because he'd been about to say the exact same thing, only reversed. "Don't you think with your shield and all, you'd be better defense?"
"Well, I was thinking it would make better offense," Thalia said. "Besides, you've had more practice at defense."
"Yeah, no problem," he lied.
"Cool." Thalia turned to help some of the Aphrodite kids, who were having trouble suiting up their armor without breaking their nails.
"Wow, you gave in quick," Y/N chuckled, amused by their interaction. Although they weren't having long conversations as they did before, things were a bit calmer between them. Well, to be clear, Y/N wasn't seeking him out anymore. It became clearer than ever to Percy how exactly they'd been behaving with her as Annabeth went missing. Y/N was never there with them whenever they were having fun but was always there for them when they got into trouble. With Annabeth gone, and their little fight, he slowly began to understand why she preferred to spend time with Harris.
"Hey...you-" Percy got interrupted as  Chiron's hoof thundered on the pavilion floor.
"Hm?"
Percy turned to look at her. Y/N's eyes looked dull. She looked like she didn't get much sleep. He should've asked how she was doing. But...her eyes were still really pretty.
He snapped out of his thoughts as Chiron started the announcement and said, "Nothing."
Tumblr media
"Percy!" Chiron pleaded.
Well, Camp-Half Blood lost and it was because of both Thalia and Percy. They had a little spat and were now ready to have a full-on fight. Y/N watched them from a distance. She didn't want to get in between their fight and look like some kind of messiah, saving the day by stopping her two friends' fight. They had some issues and they needed to sort it out - in what way was none of her concern. To be honest, her mind was too busy worrying about Annabeth. She already lost her aim a couple of times which made her mood bitter. She was in no mood to resolve the fight.
Percy was about to hurl it at Thalia when he saw something in the woods. He lost his anger and concentration all at once. The water splashed back into the creekbed. Thalia was so surprised that she turned to see what he was looking at.
Someone... something was approaching. It was shrouded in a murky green mist, but as it got closer, the campers and Hunters gasped.
"This is impossible," Chiron said. I'd never heard him sound so nervous. "It... she has never left the attic. Never."
And yet, the withered mummy that held the Oracle shuffled forward until she stood in the center of the group. Mist curled around their feet, turning the snow a sickly shade of green.
None of them dared to move. Then her voice hissed inside their head. Apparently, everyone could hear it, because several clutched their hands over their ears.
'I am the spirit of Delphi, the voice said. Speaker of the prophecies of Phoebus Apollo, slayer of the mighty Python.'
The Oracle regarded him with its cold, dead eyes. Then she turned unmistakably toward Zoe Nightshade.
'Approach, Seeker, and ask.'
Zoe swallowed. "What must I do to help my goddess?"
The Oracle's mouth opened, and green mist poured out. They saw the vague image of a mountain, and a girl standing at the barren peak. It was Artemis, but she was wrapped in chains, fettered to the rocks. She was kneeling, her hands raised as if to fend off an attacker, and it looked like she was in pain. The Oracle spoke:
'Six shall go west to the goddess in chains, One shall be lost in the land without rain, The bane of Olympus shows the trail, Campers and Hunters combined prevail, The Titan's curse must one withstand, And one shall perish by a parent's hand.'
Then, as they were watching, the mist swirled and retreated like a great green serpent into the mummy's mouth. The Oracle sat down on a rock and became as still as she'd been in the attic as if she might sit by this creek for a hundred years.
Tumblr media
Dionysus later called the council of cabin leaders to discuss the prophecy. Since almost all of the Apollo cabin members were not in the camp, Thalia suggested that she should attend. As the meeting started, everyone started talking about the prophecy and its meaning. Y/N quietly observed everyone. She was just waiting for the right moment to talk, that is when the members would be selected - who should be out there to help.
She has been training a lot and her healing abilities improved a lot. She just knew, that whoever got selected, she has to be in there to act as a healer. That was what she was good at. Well, apart from that she also improved a lot on other grounds - practicing hymns, archery, shock waves, etc.
And as expected, she was included in it. Y/N could only feel pity for Percy. It must be killing him inside cause he was the only one who was thinking about Annabeth all the time. Currently, she was sitting along with Zoe and Bianca, trying to explain how Phoebe cannot be cured as quickly as they expected her.
"How are you going to heal us then if you can't even heal Phoebe?" Bianca asked.
Y/N sighed. This was the result of a foolish prank from the Stoll brothers. Centaur blood is like acid and they sprayed the inside of that Artemis Hunting Tour T-shirt with it. "Look, for the time being, I can make sure it's not so painful for her. But even to heal it with my power, it's gonna take weeks."
It's a lie.
At the most, she could heal Phoebe in two days. Of course, she would prepare everything to make sure Phoebe is healed within a week. With the members of Apollo cabin missing, no one is there to tell them the truth anyway. And no one knew to what extent she improved. This was the only chance to include Percy. Besides, she was sure that Zoe wouldn't wait to see how better Phoebe's condition gets after taking the medicine. Before they could realize it, they would already be out to help Annabeth.
She couldn't help but be selfish about it. If she knew Percy even a little bit, she was sure that he wasn't going to stay in the camp anyway. He would sneak out once again. God knows how, where and what he could be doing alone. It would be better to include him than to do nothing, knowing he was about to be kicked out of the camp again.
"She will live," Zoe said. "But she'll be bedridden for weeks with horrible hives. There is no way she can go. It's up to me... and thee."
"But the prophecy," Bianca said. "If Phoebe can't go, we only have five. We'll have to pick another."
"There is no time," Zoe said. "We must leave at first light. That's immediately. Besides, the prophecy said we would lose one."
"We can include Percy, you know. I swear you won't have to deal with him in any way."
"The prophecy said we will lose one," Zoe looked straight into her eyes and said, "We both know you don't want that."
"How are you even sure it's gonna be him?" Y/N asked in a tone filled with annoyance.
"No, I know that if six of us go, one is bound to..." she cleared her throat, "There's less chance of that if only five of us go."
Bianca was silent. "You should tell her the rest of your dream."
"What dream?" Y/N asked.
"No. It would not help."
"But if your suspicions are correct, about the General—"
"I have thy word not to talk about that," Zoe said. She sounded really anguished. "We will find out soon enough. Now come. Dawn is breaking."
As the girls sprinted down the steps, Y/N stopped and turned to her left. She could swear she heard someone breathe. Bianca yelled, "The lights of the Big House are on. Hurry!" And she followed her out of the pavilion.
Percy was almost caught. Y/N had a good sense of hearing. He almost made a sound when Y/N turned to look at him.
For a moment, he couldn't look away. They were standing so close to each other and her eyes...were glistening. Oh, she was trying her best to not cry on the spot. She tried her best for him, didn't she? His eyes couldn't help but go down to her lips.
Thankfully, Bianca called her at the right moment. He almost forgot the position he was standing in.

I have a question
Why do people ship pertemis
I’m fine with it
I just wonder why
Cuz
They have nothing in common
I think that they have only interacted in the books like once or twice
Artemis is an eternal maiden
Even if she wasn’t I wouldn’t ship her with Percy
I would ship her with Zoe nightshade
Which I do, I ship Artemis and Zoe together
Also
Percabeth
So
I’m just curious
As to why
People ship
pertemis

Hello my darlings.
I'm very late but September 11th was officially my one year anniversary of this bot. And what a ride it has been. You all knew what was coming, because I'm just sentimental like that.
@moonlightchn: First, Lola. Lola. You were one of the inspirations for me to start a cb, we've talked about how I used to stalk yours and go !!! and then you were the first to reblog my hastily put together activation post because you were awoken in the middle of the night. To think our first interaction was WHY ARE YOU AWAKE??? Ahh, little naïve me thinking you slept like a normal person smh. But beyond that, I treasure when we talk about anything and everything. Even when we disagree, it's still so much fun! And every AU we talk about, every iteration of an interaction, every what if, helps me feel so creative and involved in this bot. Your endless support of me and my ideas and my inability to self control makes me smile everyday. Thank you. For so so so so so much.
@mafia-chae: There are few things in this world that I love more than you, for your crazy chaotic energy and your humor and just all of you!! We started with this crazy rollercoaster of an interaction like literally what was that, but at the same time I look back on it with fond exasperation because where else am I going to get crackhead energy like this. Who else will ever match up to you. I know you're super busy n away right now and I dunno when you'll see this (probably today tbh I'll send it to you bc I want you to see it) but I still love you so much! I still love when you pop up outta nowhere to talk! I want you to know that you will always find a friend in me and that I'm here to support you in your tall person endeavors. Things will be okay, you will be fantastic no matter where you go.
@nightshade-minho: Listen, I love you. I know you're super busy now and not here often but I still wanted to include you because you were also my inspiration and one of my first chats and I just!! I want good things for you! I hope things come easily for you when you need them and I hope you're not too stressed and I hope you and I are still crying over Minho being literally perfect even years from now. Whatever it is you're doing, you 100% got this. I believe in you.
@vampiremomo: I think we started our cbs around the same time (don't quote me on this) and I know we don't talk much now but my heart goes !!! whenever I see you pop up in my notifs or on my dash. You were so kind and welcoming and eased my nerves from being new, and I just treasure that so much. Whatever you're doing too, know that you're a beautiful, sweet, kind, lovely person with a heart the size of a city and I appreciate you endlessly.
@shin-haneul: Babyyyyy, you're so adorable okay first of all and secondly you are also one of the first people who talked to me here and I know I suck super duper bad at responding all the time but getting notifs from you make me v happy!! I know you're kinda on break right now and I hope you're relaxing n resting properly. Haneullie herself means so much to me (and Jisung) but you too miss admin, are very important. I love your art, I love your excitement, I love your affection and concern and I hope you are happy no matter where you go. School will end someday and I hope you get to go into the career of your dreams so everyday feels like the best. Your hard work won't fail you!
@darkfaeskz: ZOE babes listen I know you're out rn too but like. You're so fun?? You came in one day and literally blasted off, I dunno how else to describe it. You make me laugh all the time whenever you pop in and out of existence, and I value that to the nth degree. Come talk to me whenever you want!!
@vitoria-oc: I literally cannot describe how much I care about you. It made me (and still makes me) so so happy when you said I was like a big sibling to you. I'm always delighted to help you out with advice from my own personal experience, and the way you take it in and appreciate it makes my heart get so full. Your kindness is overwhelming in the best way and I will always remember it. Don’t be hard on yourself for the things you have yet to achieve. Thank you, infinitely.
@sanie-cb: You may be a newer friend (sorta) but please know that you are literally so important to me. I love that I can just spam you with everything and I love having someone to talk to about all my stupid analyses and thank you infinitely for your support for my foolishness. You're adorable! I hope you know it!
@youridolxbot: First and foremost I appreciate your honesty. I know I wasn't really the best with you and I'm always sorry for that, but you still stick around and I think that's pretty incredible. Do what makes you happy because I support whatever chasing happiness means to you. Things here are different from before, not just my bot but the whole community and I know how difficult that has been. But I think that you have the strength of will to continue. I think you have the amazing ability to make it yourself, and that someday your hard work will be repaid. Thank you.
@cb-museclub: Ayla, tbh we're like new awkward friends and that's okay yknow and I always thought you were great and the way you ran your bots was awesome. I'm still getting to know you but I hope my awkwardness doesn't off put you from talking to me too, cause there's always lots to plot and we have a lot of fun when things are going yknow!! And it's fun to get to know you as you, and not as like a friend of a friend. Things will be alright, for both of us. Although our experiences are our own and no one will understand them like we do, that doesn't mean we're alone.
And of course to everyone else who has come and gone or stuck by me, thank you for making this such a wonderful experience that has given me so much. I hope that you are able to achieve your goals and that your dreams continue to grow and that you are given the space to rest as you need it. I hope that someday, you will be happy and continue to be happy. We can do it!

Empires on the Horizon IV
Jason is a CEO: Part IV
Here’s my masterlist for the next part and my other stuff 
Tumblr media
new beginnings
look fragile
like glass
but when grabbed
sparkle
like diamonds
-badpoetry
“Good morning Mr Grace,” Grover Underwood smiled from his usual spot behind the coffee machine.
“Morning, how are you?”
“Much happier for seeing you less like someone kicked your puppy,” He gave Jason a knowing look.
“How?”
“There are some things the brain cannot hide, matters of the heart are often one of them.”
He didn’t really have any reply to that, so he gave the man an awkward smile and shrugged.
“Your usual then?”
“Yes please, and an iced coffee for Hazel.”
“Ah where is the darling this morning?”
“She’s coming into the office later, something about needing to go home first? She must have stayed at a friend’s place.”
Grover raised a dark brow, “Mhmm and where is your driver this morning? I noticed you drove yourself in today.”
“Uh I think Frank took the day off,” He frowned trying to piece the conversation he’d had with his friend in his sleep-deprived brain.
“Oh interesting,” Grover’s chocolate brown eyes twinkled in amusement, but before Jason could question him a warm cup was being shoved into his hand and he was being ushered away to wait for the iced coffee.
Collapsing into a chair, he pushed his glasses up his nose and wrapped his scarf tighter around his neck. Winter was beautiful but gods it was cold. He glanced around the café taking in the familiar forest green walls and dark wood floors. There was no sun streaming through the windows today so the gold accents on the tables were dulled and dark, like hidden bronze. He traced his fingers around the edge of his cup, losing himself in the motion, in the feeling of heat on his cold fingers, in the small gusts of wind against his cheeks as the door opened and closed, in the noise of a bustling store, in the–
“Hello Jason,”
“Luke,” He took a deep breath, “Fuck off.”
“Aw don’t be like that,” He sniggered.
“Please Luke, I don’t have the energy for this right now,” Exhaustion was a thousand-ton weight on his bones.
“That’s your problem Jason you never wanted to take things head on. It was always let’s wait for this, let’s get their opinion first, let’s just give it a couple weeks. You could have had the world begging at your fingertips if you just went for what you wanted.”
“Are you done?”
Luke’s responding laugh was malicious, “You are so-“
“Leave.” His voice was stone.
His ex-boyfriend scoffed, “Pathetic.”
Jason watched as the face he had been so in love with sneered at him, the scar running down a pale cheek twisting into malice. His soul ached for what could have been, it burned for what now was. It always surprised him how drained he felt after every interaction with Luke- like crashing down from a potent high. Being with Luke was a high, was euphoria and hope and sin. What the fuck went wrong? 
His phone buzzed in his pocket.
“Talk to me,”
“Why do you insist on answering the phone like you’re some sort of mafia boss?” His sister grumbled.
“Hello to you too Thalia,”
“I just wanted to let you know that I’ve set you up on a date tonight. Six-thirty at Sun and Songs.”
He groaned, “No. I am not in the mood.”
“Jason Grace,” She started; he could feel a rant coming on, “You cannot stop living your life because you have a wanker of an ex-boyfriend. You have been in a slump since Luke and it is affecting you in ways you’re too scared to admit.”
“It is not affecting me,” He was tired of having this fight, “I literally dated Piper for like three months.”
“Mhm and were you happy? Did you put all you could into the relationship?” She didn’t wait for his response, “No, you may have been a little happier, but you weren’t you. So you will go on this date tonight and in five years when we’re planning your wedding you better be thanking me in your speech.”
“Gods Thals,” He snorted, “We haven’t even gone on the date yet and you’re already planning a wedding?”
“Wait does that mean you agree to it?” She squealed through the phone.
“Yes loser,” He held in a laugh, “I’ll go on the date. But if it doesn’t work out you drop all of this. No more setting me up, no more interfering.”
“Yes sir. Now, how work’s going?”
“Besides the fact that Project Hestia is on hold because of this stupid contract everything is good.”
“Isn’t your fancy lawyer lady sorting it out?” She muttered.
“Reyna is a great lawyer and you know it.”
“Yea but she’s also my ex-girlfriend so I get to be a little resentful.”
He snorted at that, “Of course, and how are you?”
“I’m good. The Conservatory is still standing so I can’t be doing too many things wrong.”
“Didn’t you guys get cheetah cubs this weekend?”
“Oh Jase!” His sister cried, “They are just the absolute cutest things. Did you know cheetahs are so shy that some conservationists and wild-life biologists recommend giving them emotional support puppies?”
“So what you guys got puppies and cubs?”
“We haven’t got the puppies yet; they’re only arriving this week.”
“Well send me pictures when they’re together, maybe I’ll have them framed and hung around the office as a morale booster.”
She laughed, the sound crackly through the speaker, “Will do little bro. Listen I have to go but call me tomorrow to tell me about the date.”
“Wait!” He yelled, ignoring the weird looks from the café patrons as he walked out, “What’s her name?”
“Zoe.”
***
Jason was nervous. That was the only explanation for his shaky hands and the zoo of creatures in his stomach. He had gotten to Suns and Songs fifteen minutes early with a lavender and daisy bouquet in hand. The restaurant his sister had reserved was nothing short of incredible. Dark maroon draped over each table, and opulent candelabras sat in the center, lit only if the table was occupied. Glass and crystal chandeliers swung slowly from the high wooden beams, catching on the light and making a kaleidoscope of the room. Even the way the air smelt was decadent here. Like wood smoke and perfume, some hint of chocolate, maybe. He couldn’t quite put his finger on it, but he wanted to bottle the scent and bathe himself in it. Trying not to be suspicious he took another deep breath in; it calmed his nerves if nothing else.
“Mr Grace?” someone put a soft hand on his shoulder, “Your guest,”
He thanked the waitress, getting up to greet his date and pull out her chair. He tried to muffle his gasp when he finally turned to her. She was stunning. Midnight skin contrasting elegantly with the pastel yellow dress she wore. Braids intertwined with glittering strands; it cast a pale silver halo around her head. Small hoop earrings glinted as she moved, and the bracelets at her wrist clinked gently when they shook hands.
“Hi, Jason Grace,” He smiled.
“Zoe Nightshade.” She flashed beautiful white teeth.
He handed her the flowers, “You look unbelievable.” He truly was in awe of her.
“Thank you,” Her smile was soft, but her voice was crisp and direct, “And these are gorgeous.”
“Would you like to order drinks?”
They scanned the menu quickly; Zoe ordered a cocktail he hadn’t heard of and he ordered the first thing he saw that didn’t have tequila in it.
“So,” He asked, and then cringed at himself internally. Starting any conversation with so was bound to make it awkward.
He cleared his throat, “How do you know Thalia?”
“We work together at the Conservatory. I moved here a couple months ago because I got transferred from the wildlife center in Germany.”
Jason didn’t know what but something about her voice made his insides melt. She said everything so undiplomatically– like if it wasn’t a fact it wasn’t worth uttering.
“Oh that’s cool. What do you do?”
“I’m a veterinarian. You?”
“Well I was a structural engineer but somehow over the years I got roped into being a town and regional planner.”
She frowned, tilting her head assessingly, “You did not finish your engineering degree?”
“Oh no I finished and got my masters in structural but then I started my company and I realised I needed other qualifications to run it the way I wanted to so I had to go back and get a degree in urban and regional planning. By the end I felt like I had been studying since the dawn of time.”
She laughed at that, and a look of surprise crossed her face, as if it was as unexpected to her as it was to him. “I know how you feel. I love animals and I’m passionate about my work but when I was done studying, I vowed never to go back. Studying for seven years after school and then trying to do it all over again feels like a one-way ticket to the end of the road.”
He mirrored her smile, “How did you get into veterinary sciences anyway?”
“My father was always busy, and my sisters were… interested in anything that could make them more beautiful, or richer. So I was pretty alone for most of my childhood. At some stage I convinced my father to get me a dog, Ladon. We were inseparable. But he got hurt when this man,“ She said it with such disgust he almost flinched. “This man hurt him. Kicked Little Ladon out the way when he was just trying to say hello. We had to take him to the vet, and I remember them being so sweet and kind to my dog and I knew I wanted to be exactly like that when I grew up.”
“Any chance you know where this man is so we can kick his ass?”
She laughed, raspy and bursting, “Don’t worry little eleven-year-old me kicked Mr Alcides as hard as I could in the shins.”
“Good,” he nodded with conviction, “He deserved more but you found your passion so there is some balance.”
She hid her grin behind a sip from her drink.
“Sir, ma’am,” Their waitress stepped to their table, “Would you like to order?”
Hours later, cheeks flushed from the liquor, laughing over Thalia’s antics and their shared need for structure, they finally decided to call the dinner to an end.
“The focaccia was to die for,” Zoe groaned, patting her stomach.
“Honestly, I may have to marry the pasta.” He sighed contentedly.
She giggled, and he knew it was a rare thing for her because her face caught that surprised look again.
“Want to grab dessert?”
“Oh gods no,” She shook her head in alarm, and then frowned as the realisation of what that meant washed through her.
“I had a really great time tonight,” He started softly.
“Do you want to walk to the park? We can stop and have gelato?” Her dark eyes were full of nervous hope.
He blinked at her, a little shocked she wanted to continue the date, “I thought you didn’t want dessert?” He teased.
“Maybe the walk will burn off some of these calories and i’ll have space for a little ice-cream.” She scunched her nose.
He knew the gelato was just an excuse, so with a grin that lit up his whole face he grabbed her hand and nodded, “Let’s do it Miss Nightshade.”
Her face glowed with relief and enthusiasm as they tucked their chairs in and exited the restaurant.
“Tell me about your family. How come you weren’t interested in the rich side of life like your sisters?”
“I guess being the youngest kind of made it all seem pointless. I had seen what happened when their vanity became malicious and I didn’t ever want to turn into something I couldn’t recognise. I went to stay with my Aunt Diana through high school. She owned a bird sanctuary. That’s where I interned in my college years.”
“Wow,” He looked down to her, awe evident in his face, “And it didn’t bother you to be so far away from your father and sisters?”
“Honestly, I’m not even sure they noticed when I left.” She shrugged, “It was a long time ago. I really only see them for family functions now.”
“And your aunt?”
“She still has the bird sanctuary, but she mostly works in the background now. My cousins, Bianca and Phoebe, run it full time.”
“Do you miss it? Were you guys close?”
“Much closer than my sisters and I. I do miss them, but I definitely can’t say I miss the sanctuary. Some of those birds were evil.”
Just then a loud squawk came from above them. She scowled at the sky, “I’m talking about you Auretta.”
He tried to hold in a laugh but Zoe stuck out her tongue childishly and they both bent over in laughter.
“Maybe we shouldn’t hurl insults while we’re out in the open.” He managed to gasp.
“Good thing the gelato shop is right there.” She grinned, grabbing his hand and sprinting towards the small, illuminated store at the end of the cobbled street. Her dress shimmered, moved like rays of light. She looked like a star.
“Come on,” She yelled, tugging at his hand harder.
‘Alright, alright,” He snapped out of his admiration and let her lead him into the shop.
“Hi, what can I get you?”
“Want to share?”
“Sure, you choose,” He waved a hand towards the abundance of flavours behind the glass.
“Please can we have one scoop of chocolate, one scoop of vanilla and,” Her brow furrowed as she scanned the tags, “And one scoop of cookie crumble.”
“Why did I think you were a sorbet girl?”
“Sorbet in the summer, anything else for the rest of the year.” She said matter of factly.
He nodded solemnly, “Yes makes sense.”
She swatted his arm, grabbing the cone from the lady with a thank you, “Gods I feel like a teenager again,”
“I know what you mean,” Her excitement was infectious.
“I have to ask,” She swallowed a chunk of cookie crumble, “What on earth were you thinking when you decided to eat a stapler?”
Jason groaned, “Why did Thalia tell you that? She swore she wouldn’t tell anyone and if asked I would say I fell off my bike or something.”
Zoe giggled, “Come on, spill.”
“Okay, first of all I was two,” He sighed, embarrassment heating his cheeks, “And it was shiny, and it made a cool clicking noise, and I wanted to know what it tasted like.”
“I can just picture a little Jason crawling onto the kitchen counter and trying to bite down on a stapler.” She teased.
“Yes well now I have this scar,” He pointed to his upper lip, rolling his eyes.
“Battle scars. Very worthy.”
He shoved at her shoulder lightly and they dissolved into laughter once more.
It was almost midnight by the time he had dropped her off at home and stepped into his apartment. He looked at his phone to see a couple work messages, and something from Hazel– things he could reply to in the morning he decided, tugging off his tie and discarding his clothes as he walked to his room. He was asleep before his head hit the pillow, his phone still glaringly bright and open on the chat with his sister.
You were right. We’re going on a second date.
-----------------------------------------------------
Grover is like some other worldy deity that spews life lessons every time they meet and i am so here for it! Anyway what y’all saying??? How are we feeling?
