Anyway thank you to percy jackson, i quite literally would not have started drawing if it weren't for this series. I so desperately wanted to show my friends how I imagined all the characters that I forced myself to learn how to draw.
They answered the call, now it's your turn.

A few brave campers took to tidying the dust encrusted Big House attic this past weekend, and uncovered never-before-seen documents regarding several important relics. May their sacrifice be our gain.

That smile seared into his side like an old wound, a crescent-shaped burn across worn down skin. He was so loudâmurky green eyes, sun-blasted freckles across tan skin, lopsided grin hanging against a single deep dimple. Too much, always too much.
âNico?â he asked again, and Nico blinked, eyes flashing instead to the shimmering Long Island Sound that felt just as much a part of Percy as the blinding smile.
âIâm tired. Can we do this later?â
âDoâlater?â Percy let out a dry laugh, ran a hand through his black curls. âNah, dude. Donât worry about it. Didnât mean to bother you.â
âIâm just tired,â he said again, nails digging into clenched palms.
Percy scoffed. âI get it. Itâs fine.â
âDo you?â
âYeah! You donât like me, Nico. I get it. Youâre miserable and stubborn, and Iâll take the hint and get lost. Okay? Alright.â He turned towards the strawberry fields, dots of red and green dancing in the setting gold sun, summer breeze wafting the smell of sun-warmed berries across soft grass and rolling hills. Nico wrapped a hand around Percyâs retreating wrist, letting it go with the next breath like it burned as much as that smile. It didâbranded against his fingers like a stain heâd never wash off.
âSorry,â Nico said in the same second Percy said:
âWhat?â
âSorry,â he said again, softer, cradling the offending hand against his chest.
Percy squinted at him, bent forward like the light obscured some truth he could parse through with naked eyes alone.
âWhat?â Percy repeated, sharp and short. Sometimes Nico thought he was the only one who got this Percyâthe one whose languid smile curled into sour distaste, whose patience and empathy ran dry. It was like the son of Poseidon turned off the tap, realized Nico was an ever-empty cup he would never fill, and Nico always felt it at the back of his tongueâthe thick scab of dehydration threatening to choke him.
âI justâIâm tired. I wasnâtâI didnât mean anything else by it.â
âSure you didnât.â
âIâm not trying to be difficult.â
âYou are. You always are.â
âIâm not!â
âYouâre doing it right now!â
âBecause youâre yelling at me!â
Percy ran heavy hands down his face, trampled a small circle in the freshly cut grass, let out a frustrated groan that sounded a lot like an insult. The sun threatened to dip below the horizon, last rays of daylight streaking across the shifting water, the fields, Percyâs frown.
âI didnât mean to. You justâI donât know. Is that a son of Hades thing? Bringing out the worst in people?â
The comment sank into Nicoâs stomach, curdled.
âSorry,â Percy said, shook his head, squeezed his eyes shut. âSorry. I didnât mean it like that.â
âSure you didnât.â
Pink and orange flashed across the horizon, a burning reflection wrapping the camp in warm glows and the first cool breeze of the day, drifting off the water and up Nicoâs spine.
âI just wanted to hangout,â Percy said, weak laugh pushing into the stiff air between them.
Nico folded tight arms across his chest, thought longingly of the aviator jacket stuffed under his cabin bed collecting dust in the hot summer months. âYou donâtâwhy?â
âBecause youâre my friend? OrâI want us to be friends. I donât know.â
âYou donât like me.â
Percy crumpled his nose, furrowed his brow. âWho told you that?â
âIâm not an idiot.â
âNico,â Percy started, and Nico shivered, name catching and flaring in his chest. âI care about you. I wouldnât be banging my head against the wall trying to talk to you over and over again if I didnât care.â
âI piss you off.â
âYeah, well, Iâm hoping we can get past that part if youâre ever willing to have a non-confrontational conversation with me.â
Nico looked awayâtowards the first flicker of a campfire in the distance, towards the darkening sky, towards the long off churning horizonâanywhere but at Percyâs earnest gaze, focused attention melting him into the dirt.
âI donât know how to do that,â he said, cleared his throat like that would counteract the softness leaking through.
Percy took a step forward like he sensed the weakness, was ready to poke and prod at the thawing pieces until his fingers sunk in, grabbed hold, dug and twisted at Nicoâs insides until heâd made sense of them.
âWould you be willing to try?â he asked, eyes so wide that Nico had to look, drawn to the imploring stare like a buzzing thing seeking a new sun at dusk.
âI donât know.â
âYouâre important to me, Nico,â he said, whispered it like the incoming night might overhear. âI wanna be able to spend time with you without it being an argument, right? Donât you want that?â
Nico stared, that dehydration crawling up his tongue, filling his mouth and clogging his airways. Percy was looking at him, really looking at him, and every point of well worn skin burnedâside, fingers, chest. Everything looked like a dream in this light, the in-between of day and night painting the world in blur and blue shadow, and Nico reached out, hand a pale smear darting to grab at Percyâs t-shirt.
His green eyes widened a fraction, lips parting on a word he couldnât say before Nico crashed them together, warm mouths meeting in the cooling air, unsaid word turning to a hum that buzzed against Nicoâs lips. Percy tasted like the oceanâof course he did.
Before Nico could think to sear this memory into every place they touched, into every bit of skin that wasnât already mottled and bruised, Percy pulled back, wrapped a gentle hand around Nicoâs wrist.
âIââ Percy started, and Nico felt the cold air slicing off the ocean smash into him full force when he met Percyâs eyes. âI didnât mean it like that.â
Nico opened his mouth, closed it, let the hand gripping Percy drop like a dead thing between them.
âIâm sorry,â Percy said, looked at him like he hadnât since heâd broken the news about Bianca years ago. Nico felt sick.
âRight.â
âBut itâsâyou knowâI donât mind that youâreâor that youâyou know.â
âRight,â he said again, took a stiff step back. Another.
âIâm just notââ Percy said, concern and panic so plain Nico had to look away, towards the deep blue sky, the shadowed forest, the final slash of pink against the horizon. âAnd you knowâAnnabethââ
âRight.â Nico nodded, continued stumbling backwards over dew-slick grass. âDonât worry about it. I shouldnât haveâjust forget that ever happened.â
âAre you sure? We can talk about it if you want to. I mean, likeâcan we still be friends? Did I ruin it?â
Nico dragged his eyes back to Percy, shoulders hiked to his ears, pout pulling at the dimple in his cheek, dark brows furrowed under a fringe of curls. This wasnât what Percy Jackson was supposed to look like. Nico didnât know how he did itâhow he always brought out the wrong parts of Percy, like sifting through the shallow waves for sea glass just to pull out unweathered shards instead.
âYou didnât ruin it,â he said, swallowed down the jagged pieces lodged in his throat. âFriends. We can be friends.â
Percy smiledâshaky and slowâand Nico felt it press into that crescent-shaped burn. âOkay. Yeah. Iâd like that. Friends.â
The last of the daylight fizzled and sank below the ocean, pink swallowed whole in one final struggle for life.
Friends.Â
