Hi, just wondering, are you planning to do something this year again?

Unfortunately all the mods are quite busy with real life at the moment and we can’t work on another event. Apologies.

[ID: An assortment of drawings featuring characters from The Magnus Archives drawn as characters from Percy Jackson and the Olympians. 1. A younger Martin stands with a bronze sword poised and a nervous expression on his face. Above him are the words “Percy!Martin”.  2. Martin sits in a car seat with a frustrated expression on his face, and he gestures with his hands saying “My best friend is h-half goat!”. Next to him, a younger Sasha pulls on her seatbelt with a smile, saying “Satyr, actually! Now put your seatbelt on.” Above are the words “Grover!Sasha”. 3. A younger Jon says “You drool in your sleep” with an annoyed expression and crossed arms. The words “Annabeth!Jon” are above him, and across from him Martin nervously fidgets with his hands. 4. Tim sits with one ankle resting on the opposite knee and rubbing his neck, smiling with a furrow in his brow as he says “Don’t worry about it, Martin. We’re extended family, right? We take care of each other.” Above are the words “Luke!Tim” (and a small doodle of a nervous face). 5. Tim, smiling, holds up a pair of sneakers with wings to Martin, who looks surprised. Tim says “A gift from my dad. Could come in handy for your trip!” Behind him, Jon faces him with a red face, playing with his hair, and Sasha looks over them smiling. End ID.]

Some would believe all angels to be soft, gentle, and loving. Those people would be wrong.

Happy October everyone! Here's Friday's entry for @alternatearchivesweek. Decided to go with the Angels/Demons AU route, so have some Angel!Melanie with a big fucking sword

Jonathan Sims. The man who got touchy about the slightest misfile, lectured him over typos, went on long lectures over professionalism, and whom he was fairly sure lived in nothing but crisp dress shirts, sweater vests and a perpetual scowl. That very man, now dressed in an old T-shirt, worn jeans, was cooing at a pile of kittens in his arms.

Martin was fairly sure he must have hit his head at some point. There is absolutely no way he was seeing this.

Thursday's entry for @alternatearchivesweek! Yes I chose Animal Shelter AU because I wanted to draw Jon with a pile of kittens. What of it

"Enjoying the view, Cap?" Tim called out, a teasing smile shot towards the figure at the prow of the boat.

"Something like that," Jon answered. He appreciated Tim's levity, but couldn't match the energy himself. He was far to caught up in his thoughts, worries and questions clamoring in his mind. He clutched the amulet around his neck, wondering how it connected to it all.

Wednesday's entry for @alternatearchivesweek! Anyone who's been around this blog for a little bit knows I go absolutely NUTS for Pirate AUs! So have some pirate Jon and Tim :)
