" i don't do crystal balls. " briar inspects the globe regardless, however ! staring into it's glassy depths, it is pristine & clear and magnifies a single eye, all as the child of hecate finds himself drawn to the object regardless.

closed starter, as written for @herm3son : luke castellan ! like for your own starter, here.

"we aren’t angry at you, luke," thalia says, though she can audibly hear percy scoff from behind her. she turns her head just long enough to give him a sharp glare before facing the other again. she remembers how he used to look— skin warm and full of life. now he’s pale, almost ghostly, and his eyes are so much darker. this wasn't the luke she knew. but a part of her still hopes that the boy who made that first journey to camp half-blood with her is still in there. "if you just come back with us… things will be different." she begs, her voice cracking. maybe it was naive of her to think the gods would allow him back with open arms after all that's been done, but she couldn't help but have hope despite knowing what will probably come.

34. YOU'RE GONNA GO FAR ... NOAH KAHAN. ( @herm3son )

we've been watching you for quite a while now .

that's definitely not creepy at all , he thinks to himself . usually , whenever a kid says something like that to him , it usually ends with percy being the target for every bully at school . he glances at the older boy , weighing his options before finally speaking . " should i be worried ? " he asks lightheartedly , though there's still a part of him that's preparing himself for a bad answer .

@herm3son sent "to alex: are you thinking what i'm thinking?"

"that dad should also send me a pair of winged shoes? because yes," alex said. she had just been claimed by hermes, his caduceus appearing above her head after pulling a particularly good prank. it was a relief, finally knowing who her dad was. yeah she had to stay in cabin 11, but knowing that she didn't have to walk around feeling like a fish out of water anymore was a little comforting. the stoll brothers had cheered for her and now she was talking to luke. alex had always admired him and it had grown even stronger knowing they were half siblings. "so what now? you gonna teach me how to pick locks? let me try on those shoes?"

you and i'll go ahead.

The hand rested firmly on Nico's shoulder, a gesture that might appear reassuring to anyone watching, but one that held an iron grip under its hold. And Nico found himself staring at the opening into the Labyrinth, which somehow seemed less frightening than the person and the hand on his back.

Of course it made sense in some regard, having a son of Hades to help navigate the Labyrinth. It was in the earth, which meant that Hades had some dominion over the construct, but it was also a monstrous place, which meant that any bonus he might have gotten by being the son of Hades was almost nullified by the Mist and everything else trying to kill him inside.

He did his best to hide a nervous swallow. "Lucky me."

@herm3son sent "to percy: you just don't get it, do you?"

"what's there to get?" percy asked. "you teamed up with kronos, who started this whole thing. now people are getting hurt and some are dying." he thought of silena, who confessed only minutes before dying. coming face to face with luke wasn't exactly his plan, but it felt good getting everything off his chest. "don't think i forgot about that scorpion," he added. "i get it, seriously. my dad ignored me for twelve years and didn't immediately claim me at camp but is this what you want?"

what are some of YOUR favorite things about writing percy?

this is cruel bc where do i start?

I LOVE that he is a sweetheart and a mama's boy to boot. I love that he's funny and doesn't take himself too seriously, but above all else, he's a mama's boy who will be a mama's boy and will beat Ares butt while doing so.
