    Summary

    Athena has just crossed the limits, dragging Percy in their feuds. Poseidon may not be able to hurt her or her children but he was hardly the strategist of Olympus for nothing. There are so many more ways to hurt her than a physical assault. Featuring a heart-to-heart with Percy and good brother!Triton.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Poseidon gets to comfort his son and fuck up Athena’s day, all in one spiteful, insightful conversation.

    Not really Annabeth bashing, despite A/N.

    Summary

    “I just don’t get it,” he huffs to Will as they put up holiday decorations in the unusually quiet infirmary, “they talk to me like I’m supposed to know stuff. Like I’m the new Percy or something.”

    Nico expects Will to laugh at this, shrug off his concerns as unfounded and tell him he’s being over-dramatic like usual.

    He is wrong.

    “Okay, babe, don’t take this the wrong way. But, you kind of are the new Percy.”

    ___
    Based on a tumblr post I made about Nico being the obvious choice as Camp Half-Blood's unofficial leader when Percy leaves for college. (only no one bothers to tell Nico that)

    Summary

    “Is this your plan for all of eternity?” the mystery boy asked, looking almost amused at Jason’s wandering. “Sneaking out of Elysium and haunting your loved ones?”

    Jason turned, refusing to let himself get riled up. Instead, he glanced over at where Thalia began to make a paper airplane and then looked back at his apparent stalker.

    “I didn’t sneak out,” he said. “I have permission from Pluto to leave as I wish. It is my right as a spirit of Elysium.”

    The boy clicked his tongue. “I see,” he said, and looked at Thalia with a sad sort of smile. “And how is that going?” Jason didn’t answer. He didn’t have to. He didn’t know who this was - if it was a god, spirit, or something else entirely. “Do you know who I am?” the stranger asked as if reading his mind.

    Jason ignored him. It was time to go. He wouldn’t enjoy his time with Thalia if he was being harassed for the entirety of it. Could he visit Piper again? Or would this guy follow him there too?

    Just as he stepped away, the boy laughed. “Luke Castellan,” he called. “If you were wondering.”

    Or

    Jason is trying to have a productive death. Unfortunately, a certain son of Hermes is making his afterlife harder than it needs to be.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    8/9 It takes a friendship with Luke Castellan after they're both dead, but eventually Jason learns to live a little.

    Funny and philosophical. I want to savor this.

    Summary

    The child. Talon’s test. Not its first, not the first shaking form to be placed before it. They died, like Talon died, but didn’t move again. Talon thinks the first was hard. It was easy by the time they brought the child.

    They’d never brought it a child before.

    “What kind of shitstain hurts kids?”

     

    or; a newly-escaped, formerly-Nightwing Talon crosses paths with a newly-established Red Hood; both recognize something in the other. featuring Talon/Dick living off of protective instincts alone, Jason trying to give a bird-assassin therapy while actively killing people, and family coming together to spite odds.
