these are my own tags but i wrote a short little fic about it while in institute:
Grace can't quite wrap his head around it. "Wait, so . . . Jesus? Like, Jesus from the Bible? He visited you guys?"
Rocky's leg taps thoughtfully. "What Bible, question?"
"Um. It's a book of Jesus's teachings, I think."
"Oh understand. Erid has book of Jesus teachings, too. Very long book. Much to learn."
Grace, raised agnostic and grown atheist, really does not know how to come to terms with the fact that the Eridians know who Jesus is. He hasnāt moved since Rocky mentioned it, not even to fidget. That means that Jesus is real? Apparently? Christianity is rightāor, well, the Mormons are right?
"So Erid already knew about humans," Grace states, crossing his arms. That, at least, is something he can address right now. He can work on the whole restructure of his belief system later. "Because Jesus wasāis?āhuman."
"Is not," Rocky says with a vehement shake of his body. "Jesus is like Eridian. Jesus is Rock."
"No."
"Yes. Jesus say so Himself."
"Pretty sure he didn't say that."
Rocky makes a trilling sound that Grace has come to recognize as a huff. "Grace not read Jesus book so he not know. Rocky read Jesus book every day. Rocky baptized. Rocky š š „š ®š š „š Æš š „š ® (endowed). Not Grace."
Grace rubs his eyes with his palms, knocking his glasses entirely off his face. "Well then, how did they crucify him?" he asks, not even trying to hide his frustration.
āNo understand word.ā
"Crucifixion? They make a cross, like this?" He makes a cross sign with his fingers. "Nailed Jesus up there? How would they nail him if he was a rock?"
Rocky doesn't even hesitate. "Strong nails. Not cross. Asterisk."
Grace just barely doesn't burst out laughing at that image. It makes sense, he supposes. An Eridian Jesus would have to be crucified on an asterisk.
"Look, Rock, I'm no expert on Jesus," Grace says, raising his hands in surrender. "But maybe we have two different ones? Because I'm pretty sure he was human on earth, and the whole thing he did was die for our sins."
"Yes. Die for our sins."
"I mean, like, earth's sins."
"No, die for all sins. Earth and Erid."
"Did he die on Erid, too?"
"No. Jesus died somewhere else. Rocky now know was earth. Came to Erid after."
It doesn't make sense. It would be like - like saying Jesus went to the Americas after he died in Jerusalem, or wherever it was.
Then again, none of this makes any sense.
"Okay," Grace relents, before Mary can intervene on what sounds to her like a conflict. "Okay. So, Eridians are Mormons?"
"Yes, š š „š ®š š „š Æš ," Rocky says, a word that sounds like a four-part harmony lingering on a high note. "Mormon. ocky will teach Grace! Like science!"
He might as well learn about Erid's religious culture before they arrive. It's definitely something he ought to be at least passingly familiar with. "Sure, buddy. Teach me."
Rocky hops excitedly. "Yes, yes, yes! Rocky set apart as missionary in case of aliens. Preach My Gospel in my room!"
Grace laughs. "A missionary? Like, one of the guys with name tags?"
Rocky hums. "Yes, I need name tag. Grace make Rocky name tag."
"You don't need that."
"Human missionaries wear name tag. Rocky need name tag."
"Rock."
"Cannot be consecrated missionary without name tag."
Grace sighs. "Fine, but it's gonna be made of paper. Happy?"
"Happy happy happy! Like Plan of Happiness!"
Grace doesnāt ask what that means. Heās sure Rocky will explain everything in-depth, whether he wants to know or not.
Hello hello hello! Back for round two today! I have for you another entry for @rrverseflashfics and this time it goes out to the one and only @gay-mormon-wizard who is in the labs trying to cook up some Jason/Will! I hope this helps your scientific endeavors <3
So, may I present my very first Wilson fic: Doctor's Orders
āWe tattled on you,ā Kayla said, jutting her chin out defiantly. āAnd weāre not sorry.ā
Will looked between them both before scoffing incredulously. āIs that supposed to scare me? Iām head camper, and Mr. D and Chiron have given me full jurisdiction of the Infirmary. What, did you tell dad? Hate to break it to you, but heās got some really bad time-management skills. Heāll be down here in six minutes to six years. So, just who did you tattle to, exactly?ā
āUh, that would be me.ā
Will whirled around to see his boyfriend filling the entire doorway, looking every inch the Roman superhuman he was. Willās eyebrows knit. āWhat are you doing here?ā
āKayla said you needed a day off and refused to take one,ā Jason explained. āIām here to make you take it.ā
āYeah, all right, Hercules, letās see you try it,ā Will snorted, turning his back on Jason to focus on his work.
Turning his back was a very foolish decision.

Riordanverse Flash Fic Fridays 2026 "Sickfic"
Will knew how getting sick worked. He was aā well, he wasnāt a doctor, exactly, but he was the closest damn thing Camp Half-Blood had to one. Heād been in the Infirmary healing people since he was a whopping twelve years old, and in order to be a healer, you had to know what made people hurt in the first place. He knew that the best cure for the common crud was not getting it in the first place, and the best way to do that was with a good diet, plenty of water, and at least seven hours of sleep a night.Ā
Unfortunately, Willās days usually consisted of four pots of coffee, cat naps whenever he found fifteen minutes to sit still, and a peanut butter sandwich, if he was lucky. He was rarely lucky.Ā
So, it was no surprise when Will woke up in his bunk after about four hours of fitful sleep with his head throbbing, his muscles stiff, his throat scratchy, and a spectre of death looming over him. Still, the Infirmary wouldnāt run itself, demigods would keep trying to kill themselves, and Will would keep patching them up so they could haplessly wander in front of another round of archery practice or fall off a pegasus or trip face-first down a ravine or pick a fight with an acid-spitting monster or half-drown themselves trying to kiss an Nereid orā Well, there were a lot of things that could go wrong at a training camp for child soldiers souped up on divinity and new ones were being discovered each and every day, much to Willās chagrin. So, with a groan that sounded more like stone being rubbed against stone than he cared to admit, Will swung his legs over the edge of the bed and forced himself to face the day.Ā
Kayla and Austin both tried to argue him out of working that day. Kayla said that heād get other people sick, and Austin claimed that he looked like he was one heavy breath from just falling out right in front of them, but Will just flipped them off, ignoring the way his vision was getting fuzzy at the edges, and got back to work. He did his best to ignore them, but in his current state, he could only tolerate their concerned glances and shared whispers for so long before he snapped.
āDo the two of you have something youād like to share with the class?ā he asked sharply after Kayla did an interpretive dance with just her eyebrows and Austin nodded solemnly back at her.
Kayla glanced between him and Austin a couple times before she cleared her throat. āWell, weāve tried telling you to take the day off nicely, but you wouldnāt listen to us, so we, uhā¦ā
āYou, uh⦠what?ā
āYou canāt be mad at her,ā Austin said sternly. āIt was my idea.ā
āWhat was your idea?ā
āWe tattled on you,ā Kayla said, jutting her chin out defiantly. āAnd weāre not sorry.ā
Will looked between them both before scoffing incredulously. āIs that supposed to scare me? Iām head camper, and Mr. D and Chiron have given me full jurisdiction of the Infirmary. What, did you tell dad? Hate to break it to you, but heās got some really bad time-management skills. Heāll be down here in six minutes to six years. So, just who did you tattle to, exactly?ā
āUh, that would be me.ā
Will whirled around to see his boyfriend filling the entire doorway, looking every inch the Roman superhuman he was. Willās eyebrows knit. āWhat are you doing here?ā
āKayla said you needed a day off and refused to take one,ā Jason explained. āIām here to make you take it.ā
āYeah, all right, Hercules, letās see you try it,ā Will snorted, turning his back on Jason to focus on his work.Ā
Turning his back was a very foolish decision.
The thing that Will had forgotten in his nearly delirious state was that Jason was a very physical guy. If he saw a problem that he felt needed to be fixed, heād use his whole body to fix it without a secondās hesitation. At that moment, Will was a problem Jason felt needed fixing, boyfriend status be damned, so Will was hoisted up, and flung over Jasonās shoulder without a shred of remorse.
āJason Grace! Put me down this instant!ā
āAre you going to come with me voluntarily?ā
āNo!ā
āThen no.ā Jason shrugged, which Will felt because he was being handled like a god damn sack of flour, then turned to face Kayla and Austin, who were grinning like the traitors they were. āBye, guys. Iāll see if I can get him to nap.ā
āIām putting you two on KP for a month,ā Will growled, but it did little to curb their amusement.
The trek through Camp was, quite frankly, the most humiliating thing Will had experienced up to that point in his life. Jason had no problem tossing Leo and Piper around ā the freaks even seemed to enjoy it ā but that was because they were short. Will, standing at a proud six foot, was at least seven inches taller than them both. Unfortunately, Will was also lanky everywhere but his shoulders and biceps, which made him aĀ prime slinging victim. Apparently.
āI hate you,ā Will seethed as Jason casually tossed him on one of the Zeus cabin beds. Much to his dismay, his body immediately betrayed him and all but melted into the cloud-soft mattress. āYouāre literally the worst person ever.ā
Jason ignored him and just climbed in the bed, flopping his entire body on Will like a dog napping on the rug. There was a concerned crease between his eyebrows and a frown on his lips as he brushed his thumb over Willās cheek. āYouāre almost as hot as Leo.ā
āJason, Iām your boyfriend,ā Will drawled, trying not to press into Jason hand like a cat. āI donāt know how things are done on the Roman side of the river, but Greeks typically donāt tell their boyfriends theyāre only almost as hot as another guy.ā
āThatās not what I meant,ā Jason said softly. āYou really are sick, arenāt you?ā
Will wanted to insist that he wasnāt sick, just stressed out and tired, but Jasonās big blue eyes held him in place and stripped his defenses down to nothing. āItās not that bad.ā
āBut it is some bad.ā Will didnāt correct him, so Jason just nodded his own confirmation. He leaned in for a kiss, and without thinking Willās hand came up and shoved him away. Jason looked like a kicked puppy. āWhat was that for?ā
āIām sick,ā Will snapped, and that was the first and only time heād actually admit it. āIām not going to let you get yourself sick, too.ā
āI have a really good immune system.ā
Will narrowed his eyes. āSorry, but the only person whose immune system I trust is Leoās, and heās hotter than you.ā
āI said thatās not what I meant!ā
āI know exactly what you meant, and I know what I mean,ā Will said, arching his eyebrows. āLeoās resting body temperature is high enough to kill pathogens, so his is the only immune system I trust. Heās constantly running a fever.ā
āOh.ā Jason looked very sulky and watched Will with those big eyes of his. āSo no kissing.ā
āAbsolutely no lip-on-lip action.ā
Jasonās brows knit for a moment before he suddenly brightened. āOkay then.ā
Before Will could even think to question it, Jason once again used his body to solve a problem. He placed his massive hand over the bottom half of Willās face, then pressed a long, happy kiss to the back of his own hand. When he was done, Will was left laying there shock still, blinking. āWhat the hell was that?ā
āKissing with absolutely no lip-on-lip action,ā Jason said cheerfully. āWill that work?ā
There was no universe where that would actually work, but Will was too busy being a dumb, stupid teenager in dumb, stupid teenager love, so he just breathlessly nodded. āUh-huh.ā Jason smiled like heād solved world peace and kissed him again.
Jason got sick the very next day, and Will didnāt look Kayla in the eye for a week.Ā
Sorry sorry Iām still thinking about Laurie not even falling in love with Evander but creating him, begging for him to exist, with the sole intention of loving him and then physically digging him out of the very ground he bled into. How he says āGod was stronger than me when he made Adam and didnāt fall in love with him.ā How he would have given Evander anything if heād only asked and how Evander was never allowed to ask for anything. Neither of them can recognize a love that doesnāt hurt until they find it in each other
And then also how Laurie also just. Watches Evander gorge himself on potting soil and anything else he can conceivably put in his mouth and then finds out Evander also ate the pictures he snuck him when he was locked away. And he is so delighted by Evander. Like yes look at his little eldritch freak of a boyfriend. Heās going to spend the rest of his life with him
Headcanon that Leo doesn't celebrate his birthday because then in his mind he's never had a birthday without his MamĆ”.
This goes on into Piper desperately trying to get him to tell her because she loves birthdays and he just never tells her, he just randomly ages up and Piper is dying to know but he won't explain why because it's too hard for him.
i have a headcannon that leo doesnāt remember his birthday because heās been on the run for so long so his birthday is just whenever he wants it to be ā¤ļø
