So in the hypothetical scenario where Pet Au Ody meets other versions of himself, how would he view the Persephone Au and Helios Au Odys. They’re all in a similar situation, being in relationships with powerful Gods, but the power imbalance and lack of autonomy in Pet Au seems a lot more blatant.
one of the first thing he notices... is how they all have their cloaks but him.
This one has been a long time coming, but it’s finally done! @bigidiotenergytm ‘s Helios AU with Ody inspired this! I’ve been calling it the Sun Trinkets AU! Basically, since Kharmion already gets saved by Apollo on Helios’ Island, both Helios and Apollo end up with a human after the events of Thunder Bringer. It doesn’t take them long to realize that their humans would make each other happy and start setting them up on play dates. Things of course, evolve from there. Helios and Apollo may decide they ship their humans, and then it takes a step further and becomes all four of them involved with each other.
Cabs were scary to get into during the day, but even scarier at night. Being drunk out of your wits, the weird man driving the big yellow taxi didn’t deterrent you from crawling into the back and letting him take you directly to best thing you’ve ever had in life and most definitely the weirdest.
The man at the bar meant well when he called you a cab…or was it the bad date that you just had? The alcohol running within your blood wouldn’t allow you to remember exactly who. But you did know someone had called a ride for you to get home and all you were expected to do was wait outside for them and be able to recite your address correctly.
Earlier than the expected time a yellow cab pulled up in front of you with only the driver inside. You were almost sure whoever called was for an Uber but again ,you were too far gone to comprehend much at all. Using all the strength you could gather you threw yourself into the backseat of the dark cab and took in your surroundings. It wasn’t anything unusual, a clean leather back seat that smelled like sweat and food masked in Lysol. So you shrugged it off and shut the door.
The driver didn’t speak to you once, he just started the cab and began driving. Your head was spinning so you decided to lean it up against the window and murmur incoherent nonsense into existence. As much as your indulged yourself with tonight, the memory of your date from hell would not leave your mind. The guy you met online was a weirdo, and you didn’t even want to get into the details but to it up he had a lizard with giant testicles tattooed proudly down the side of his face. The eye catching tattoo was NOT in any of his photos, you’re sure you would have remembered. You still gave him a chance thinking maybe it was a prank, but no, this man lived up to the assumptions you had. You didn’t even remember how many drinks your downed, but none of them made him anymore attractive.
“Your stop.” The cabbie announces for the first time the entire ride. His voice wasn’t unusual, he sounded like a middle aged man with a smoking addiction.
“Huh? Oh, okay.” You nod, your body realizing the care as idling before your mind did. Again, you were forcing yourself to open the door and step out.
“Have a nice night ma’am.” He calls out once more, never turning his head or even hassling you for a tip. Your drunken haze didn’t help you realize you never once gave him your address until you blinked away the blurriness a few times and realized this was a neighborhood you weren’t familiar with.
“Oh, sir this isn’t—“ But by the time you were able to speak the cab was gone. You could have sworn you had heard the loud engine running behind you but there was nothing and no one around. “Great.” Uou mutter.
Signal on your phone was nonexistent meaning you’d have to walk around this neighborhood and it’s lack of street lighting until you could pick up enough service to make a phone call. The cabbie stayed in the back of your mind. Why would he drop you off in an unfamiliar place like this? Was he sick in his head?
Eventually you were reaching close to a closed gas station and your phone picked up exactly one bar. That was enough for you to make a call, so you were stopping and dialing your Mothers number. It rang for a short time before the automated voice told you that the number could not be reached due to long distance fees.
“What the hell?” Did she go on a trip without mentioning it to you? You weren’t even sure what do now since you’d never gotten that message before, and your phone was back to being useless. So instead, you let out a whine and began walking again, this time in the opposite direction of where you came.
When it came to the street you had been dropped off at your eyes widened in surprise. Three men were fighting, well two against one was what it seemed like to you. The third guy was getting some pretty good hits in too, but he wasn’t a match. Minutes later the third guy hit the ground with a loud groan and sirens from a distance caused the other two to take off in fear.
You didn’t know why your drunk legs were carrying you toward the man but your mind was screaming objections. Just as the toe of your shoes reached him, he was picking himself up, without actually looking at you. “Ace, this is between me and— who are you?”
“Y/N.” You slut, wobbling on your legs while blinking at the man who you could now barely see. You were exhausted which could be why you didn’t fear him or anything right now.
“It’s not safe out here Y/N, go home.” He instructs, looking around to make sure the two of you were alone.
“Okay…I’m kind of lost.” You admit, leaning on the wall to support your heavy weight.
“I can tell.” He chuckles, tilting his head at you. “Where did you come from anyway?”
“A club in Seoul I think.” You nod along, agreeing with what you’d told him.
“Seoul? Where is that?” He asks, unsure if you were even stable enough to go home alone.
“Korea.” You roll your eyes. You hadn’t been in that cab long, surely Seoul wasn’t far unless this stranger was playing mind games with you.
“Never heard of it. I think you’re drunk miss.” He frowns, truly not understanding where you’d come from. “Come on, let’s find you a shelter to stay in until you sober up.”
He wrapped his arm around up shoulder but that proved to be more work than anything because your legs were no longer in use. The poor stranger had no choice but to carry you half way across town while injured just to be turned away by the women’s shelter that was full for the night.
“Now what do we do?” He asks out loud hoping you’d have even a crumb of an idea but you were out cold, head leaning against his shoulder as you snoozed away. “What are we going to do with you Miss?”
The next morning you woke up in what you could only describe as a set from a horror film. It looked like it was once an apartment but now was just the ruins of one. The bed was awfully destroyed and the room itself looked almost condemned, almost. It was obvious that someone had been taking care of it or else it would already be a pile of rubble on the ground.
Just as you were about to get up and try finding your way back home or to a pay phone someone walked in, a very familiar person. “Good, you’re awake. Now tell me who you are and how you got here.” He demands, arms crossed over his chest.
He was somewhat intimidating with his broad stature, decent height, the new and old scars marking his skin…but his features were soft like a doll no matter how hard he had been trying to toughen them. Thanks to that, you were able to speak.
“I’m not sure, I just woke up here.” You explain, looking around in confusion. He didn’t look angry but confused and you’d be confused too if you found a stranger sleeping in your home. “I’m leaving now though…do you happen to know what town this is? I think my cab brought me here by mistake.”
The cab, just thinking about it made your skin crawl. The more your sober mind put things together the less sense it made. He never asked for your address, never spoke to you, never even charged your for three ride. Who was that guy?
“I’m not asking how you got in my place, I’m asking how you got here, to my planet.” He demands once again, stepping closer and narrowing his eyes on you. “It’s impossible for anyone not from here to get through the barrier so how are you here?”
“Your planet?” You sputter in laughter. How many weird men were you going to come across in the next 24 hours? “Have you been drinking too?”
His face hardened some as he stepped closer, grabbed your arm and pulled you from the bed. He ignored your yelling for him to set you free and continued to pull you outside.
“Let go of— what the hell…” You gasp, eyes squinting from how bright it was, unusually bright for anytime of the day. “Why is it so bright?”
The man let go of you and went back inside, jogging back a few seconds later to hand you a pair of sunglasses. Slipping them over your eyes you were able to see, it was still bright but not unbearable. Things were different, but only slightly. The birds didn’t have feathers, but fur which made them look like tailless rats with beaks. The people you could see were just about the same as anyone you’d ever seen. The houses and buildings were just like the mans, broken and only getting worse, and you swore every so often you could see the wind. There were no clouds above or a sun, just brightness over you.
“Where am I?” You ask out loud, not intending to receive an answer but being grateful when the man behind you spoke up.
“Helios.” He answers in a know it all manner. “Now tell me how you got here and where you came from.”
“I’m from Earth…Seoul, Korea.” You whimper, only now starting to panic. How did you get to wherever the hell ‘Helios’ is??? “I’m not sure how I got here, I went drinking with friends last night, I got in a cab with a creepy driver and now? Now I have no clue but I want to go home.”
“I want you to go home too. You aren’t made for this planet, you’ll die before the week is up, I’m sure of it. It’s too dangerous.” He hums out loud, ignoring the surprised gasped slipping past your lips.
“Excuse me?” You ask a bit too loud because he was clamping his bandaged hand over your mouth and pulling you inside, carefully watching his surroundings as he did so. Once you were back in what you assumed was the safety of his bedroom he removed his hand.
“You want to be found don’t you? They never taught us about how loud you people from Earth were.” He hisses, covering what was supposed to be a window with a piece of plywood.
“I’m sorry but where I come from, we don’t take a threat to our lives so calmly.” You defend yourself with your hands in the air.
“Then why did you come here?” He asks again, keeping his arms crossed. As composed as he made himself look you could see the stress and confusion on his face. “How did you even get through the barrier?”
“What barrier?” You ask, on the verge of tears. Your poor arm was sore from how many times you’d pinched it since you’d come to, hoping this was an alcohol induced nightmare and you’d wake up.
“The one you came through, people from Earth call it, uh…, what do you call it?” He grumbles, kneeling beside his bed and pulling out a dresser drawer full of papers and books. He flipped through one of said books before grinning proudly. “You people call it the sun.”
“The sun? Do you know how hot the sun is? It’s impossible for someone like us to get even close to it, let alone survive on it.” You laugh directly in his face, pulling on your hair and collapsing onto the bed.
“Only the barrier is hot and it’s too keep everyone who isn’t supposed to be here, out. Like you. So how did you get here? I need to know so I can report it and fix it and finally get some respect and not constantly worry about them finding me and trying to kill me.” He started off strong but by the end of his rant his voice was wavering and you could sense the sorrow.
“Who wants to kill you?” You ask. He visibly tenses and glances at you for a moment as if he was about to spill everything to you. But he doesn’t.
“It doesn’t matter. What matters is where you got in at. There has to be a weak spot. You are the first reported person from Earth to make it here, ever! So tell me how you did it.” He pleads, no longer talking like he’d rip your head off and chew on it. He was desperate.
“I already told you, I don’t know. The last thing I can remember was being in the cab and trying not to throw my lunch up in his back seat.” You frown. You did feel bad and a little afraid…okay, a lot afraid. Both of your lives were clearly on the line here, but who had more to lose?
He stared at you for several moments, really stared and contemplated what you’d said until he was sure you were being honest. With a heavy sigh of defeat he fell to his knees beside you and laid his forehead against the bed.
“I’m sure there’s a book or something somewhere that can tell us how you got here and how to send you back.” He assures you…while also trying to calm himself down. “But in the meantime we have to disguise you and keep you hidden.”
“Won’t I just blend in as I am?” You quirk. He scrunched his features and shook his head in disagreement.
“Absolutely not. Look at me, do I look like I would blend in on Earth?” He asks, standing tall again and gesturing to his clothes. “I have two outfits and they’re both very similar.
You looked him over and you had to agree, he wouldn’t blend very well on Earth unless he was one of the many unfortunate souls who lived on the streets. And looking down at the dress you’d gone out in, you wouldn’t blend in here.
“Fine, what do you want me to do? Stay here?”
He shook his head and chewed on the skin of his lip. “No, they’ll search here eventually. We need to pack up and keep moving.”
He left you alone in the room for a while before coming back and throwing a pile of clothes on you that you won’t lie, smelled like sweat and dirt. It was disgusting but judging by the small smile he had, it was your new wardrobe.
“I’m going to get my stuff together, you change into those.” He leaves no room for argument as he leaves and you have no other choice but to strip yourself of your nice dress and change into the torn clothes you were handed. He was a large guy, significantly bigger than you so the pants you were handed were having to be held up. The shirt was baggy and showed off portions of your skin that you otherwise would have wanted to keep hidden from view.
You poked your head out of the room and listened to the sound of murmuring and things moving until you found him digging up a bag form the ground. “These are too big.”
He turned to his head and rolled his eyes again, standing up and tearing down a rope from the ceiling. Unlike any same gentleman you’d ever met he pulled your toward him by the waist of his pants and started to use the rope as a belt. In any other situation like this you’d be foaming at the mouth and ready to go if you know what I mean, but this was strictly and only to keep you from being half naked. He loooed you over once more and shook his head, kneeling and taking a rusted knife from his boot to tear the legs of the pants unevenly, making it easier for you to walk. “I don’t have shoes for you, so we’ll find some, until then we’ll find an easier path for your feet.”
You nodded and watched him, move away again, grabbing the bag he dug up and walk to the bedroom again to stuff it with the things from the drawer. You weren’t sure of anything going on around you other than the fact that you needed to stay with him and he’d keep you’d safe for now, or at least that’s what you had hoped would happen. You had to hope.
“What do I call you?” You ask once he was pulling you out the back of the rubble towards the tree line.
“Jin.” He answers quickly, looking around frantically and making you crouch with him through the tall brush. “And you’ll be my burden until I can either send you home or bury you.”
“Or just called me, Y/N, and don’t bury me?”
“I’ll do my best now stay low, stay quiet, watch your step, pay close attention to all your senses and follow me.”
And you did.

When I get my laptop back I’ll put a cut at the beginning so it’s not so terribly long. I also want to make a part 2 of this and maybe more but I can’t guarantee they’ll be soon. (GIF found on Pinterest) 📌
