FANFIC POLL TIME!
Descriptions (because i NEED to explain things haha-):
CHOOSE WISELY
Of Bridges Built & Burned: Based off this clowning between me and @moodyseal
BUCKLE UP THIS GETS WILD READ THE LINK ABOVE FOR A MORE DETAILED EXPLANATION
TD;LR- Commodus and Apollo get to both scream about their relationship (because it's usually only Commodus who does that), Commodus goes off to sulk/stew over it while Apollo completes his trials, then post-ToA they meet again and have a Much Needed Talk
...and *sobs* go separate ways... *ugly sobbing* DON'T MIND ME-
you know you love the ship when you write them breaking up in the most heart-wrenching scenario possible.
but shh...i have another idea to do with this but that's for another time😈
The Art of War: I've been DYING to do SOMETHING with Apollo (Favorite Son™) and Ares (Failure Son™) and I have 3 whole scenes in different points of time now!!!
First is when Apollo's young and new on Olympus. He's been shoved onto Ares for the time being because in Ancient Greece, boys were raised by their fathers and girls by their mothers, and when the father was unavailable, it was the eldest brother's job to watch his younger brothers.
Second scene is during/post Ares's kidnapping by the giants! Some Apollo angst, Zeus being the best dad ever (not), and Ares not having a good time.
Third and finally, is a little conversation post-ToA between them :3
The Sun's Rise: At last! Out of the vault! The moment we've been waiting for! Starring our boy Apollo, Prometheus being Prometheus, and a guest star you all should know by now :3
Hyapollo Multific: YEAH YOU HEARD IT. FIVE CHAPTERS OF HYAPOLLO, WITH SIDE DISHES OF APRICITY, HYARICITY, AND ONE-SIDED ZEPHYRUS PINNING FOR HYAPOLLO. COME GET UR FLUFF-DRAMA-ANGST FEST
@hyac1nthus i know you'd want to see this >:3
Koios ToA: What the hell was Koios doing during ToA? This fic will play like a snapshot of what our favorite titan was up too. Questions will be asked, answers will be found, and oh boy Phoebe and Koios are gonna have a bit o' long-overdue marital strife.
Drunk Twins: literally what is says on the label. the twins get drunk and the Hunt has to call in the mama wolf for backup lmao
The Conspiracy of Rachel Elizabeth Dare: based on this post by @hogoflight and expanded upon here by me! Rachel Dare is a conundrum to her friends, and they put their detective hats on to solve the case!
ToA BuzzFeed Unsolved: The Queer Capers of Lester Papadopoulos and Meg McCaffrey: BUZZFEED TIME! We need ToA buzzfeed fics so here I am making one :3
Apollo V Orion fight (with a side-dish of Jupiter & Commodus): Exactly what it says on the label lmao I had three oneshot ideas and then I went "COMBINE THEM!!" so here is a oneshot with three different things in it making a cohesive story :3
A Radiant Light: Did I make up an entire backstory for one background character? Yes. Is that character Phoebe the Hunter? Also yes.
how to get your daughter to divorce your brother and marry your nephew: a guide by demeter: funny fic about Demeter trying to get Meg, Nico, and Will to help her convince Persephone to divorce Hades and marry Apollo. Based off one of my headcanons haha

Copollo Fic Masterlist
lucius aurelius commodus of triumvirate holdings
I recalled how he looked sleeping beside me when we were teens. I remembered his easy laugh as we raced through the woods, and the way his face scrunched up adorably when I bounced grapes off his nose.
[..] My beautiful Commodus.
the wider pjo fandom is very ship orientated. I genuinely wonder if one of the reasons apollo isn't more popular is because of his lack of shipability. like his age makes any ship options really messy in the first place because he feels too old to ship with the teens as apollo but too young to ship with the adults as lester. normally the protagonist ends up with another member of the main cast, but the only other main cast member in ToA is meg, who is DEFINITLEY too young for him plus they have a familial relationship, so no ship options there. he has great chemistry with his exes, but that's just it, they're exes. his exes either now hate him or have died, so you can't really ship them in the present. apollo's already a dad and has had many relationships in his life, so shippers can't latch onto the "first love" or "one true love" tropes that other riordanverse ships have. ToA focuses much more on platonic relationships instead of romantic, so that again reduces the amount of shippers reading it. apollo as lester isn't conventionally good looking and a big part shipping is how attractive people find the characters involved. and of course apollo's the only protagonist in the riordanverse to remain single by the end of their series.
think about how popular will is. do you think he'd be that popular if solangelo didn't exist? think about how the most viral PJO and HoO posts are about percabeth. the fandom loves shipping, and unfortunately apollo suffers because of that
Back on my toa as a starkid musical bs. Has anyone ever watched Spies are Forever? (Technically Tin Can bros but whatever) Because the whole Curt Owen thing always makes me think of Apollo and Commodus.
Spoilers for spies are forever if you want to watch and I highly recommend cause it's one of my faves ⚠️:
It fits so perfect. The murdering your partner and still being traumatized by it years later. Your partner vowing vengeance on you and joining an evil organization. The heartbreak. The angst. The betrayal. Dying a lover and coming back a monster. The way in the end, Apollo and Curt have to kill their respective ex lovers. Also the DMA stabbing anyone and everyone has serious Commodus energy.
If I had the time, patience and energy for it I would do an animatic to 'One step ahead' or that part where Owen is like "our love was over the moment you left me for dead". (If anyone wants to do this please I beg. Will pay in tears of joy )
😭😭 poor Apollo :(
God the stories of his loves are so tragic, why y'all gotta do him like this 😭
Ouch 😭 I know Commodus is a bad guy at this hurts ;n; GIVE APOLLO A BREAK U MONSTERS
Unpopular opinion?
Have you ever thought about Apollo/Commodus being soooo hot in this flashback scene in TDP where Apollo was lying on a couch (or what was that) talking to Commodus?
I like scenes they`re interacting in cos there`re so many emotions (especially in flashbacks). Commodus is the only one Roman Emperor who has the common past with Apollo and we really observe it. The way Commodus talks to Apollo, the way he behaves, everything is full of something. There were feelings between them in the past and Apollo thinks about it much. He was very down whe he realised he had to finish Commodus off. Think of Commodus` feelings for Apollo. He really can`t accept the fact that his friend and lover killed him.
Back to the couch scene, it is soooo good. There were Apollo being careless and Commodus behaving familiarly with him and stupid grapes and so on. Somewhere in the past they were special for each other even if it lasted not long. All this distinguishes their interaction from Nero and Caligula`s with Apollo.
