see the THING IS I don't feel like I ever worked hard enough to have "earned" the burnout, which is. probably how we got here.
Ok so obviously most Greek demigods are bisexual or queer of some kind. But is it really because they’re descended from Greek Mythology? Or is it just because they all at some point see Percy swimming in the lake shirtless?
there’s something about hands:
• splayed flat over someone’s chest, a warm, grounding anchor. “easy. easy. lay still.”
• knuckles raked across a sternum. “come on back now… that’s it. there you are. deep breaths for me.”
• the vulnerability of uncovering a painful wound to let someone else inspect it. “i promise i’ll be really gentle, but i have to take a look.”
• gently frantic. “oh my god. is that blood? is all of that yours?”
• A held captive, strung up to the rafters by their wrists. B finally rushes in, clutches A’s face in their hands, tips their chin up. desperately searches for any hint of awareness. “A. A, look at me. please look at me. i need a medic over here!”
• B’s cool hand pressed against A’s fever-hot forehead. bonus points if they cup the back of A’s head with the other hand at the same time. A closes their eyes and leans into the touch ever so slightly.
Person A: *bursts into the room* "Oh my god—B! I'm here, I’m here, you're okay now—"
Person B: *flinching at the sound, trying to craw back* "Don't touch me-please-"
Person A: *freezes, hands raised* "It’s me. Just me. No one’s going to hurt you anymore."
Person B: *voice shaking* "They said you wouldn't come. That you'd forgotten me. I-I believed them."
Person A: *kneeling slowly, tears in their eyes* "I would tear the world apart before I'd let that happen. I'm sorry it took me so long."
Person B: *finally looking at A, eyes glassy* "I kept calling for you. I thought—I thought if I screamed loud enough, you’d hear me."
Person A: *voice cracking* "I did. I heard you. Every second you were gone, I felt it. I swear."
Person B: *whispers* "It hurts."
Person A: *gently, reaching forward* "I know. Let me help. Please. Just let me hold you."
Person B: *collapsing into A's arms* "Don’t let go."
Person A:*holding them tightly, as though the world.* "Never."
Maybe they don’t have much canon chemistry but can you IMAGINE if the prophecy about the world ending to either storm or fire centered those two people and they were in love with each other
Jason probably thought that going to an all-boys school after him and Piper broke up was be a good idea so he could keep his mind of dating and then saw one(1) cute boy and was like "shit😕"
I am screaming this is the best
On the Argo II at some point, when Leo was trying to finish the repairs...
That cute moment from Heartstopper made me think of them. Also, I swear, Nick Nelson is exactly the person Jason Grace would have been if Jason had been raised by a great mom instead of a pack of wolves and an army..
*(sighs morosely and stares out the window)* When will Valgrace Week 2025 prompts drop?
Im gonna feed him formula, wrap him in a blanket, rock him back and forth and sing him a lullaby
"I'm not disabled I have a system!" 24 hours of unexpected system collapse later, i am a quivering jelly of frothing misery puddling sadly on the floor
