And what if I said Crest was to Apollo what Zoë was to Artemis. What then.

buzzfeed unsolved AU chapter 4 is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
we've reached The Burning Maze!! It's time to traumatize the ghoul boys!!!!
Three Lesters and a Crest. The third one is based on a conversation I had with a fellow short king Lester truther, and we made the fun lil hc that Percy's shirt was actually big on Lester, but since he's so used to loose drapery as clothing he's like "ah yes, this fits perfectly :D"
I don’t see many people talking about Crest! He sacrificed his life for Apollo and it tore Apollo up pretty badly, like he was sobbing and witnessed him getting stabbed by Medea as he could do nothing.
The Burning Maze was kinda traumatic for Apollo, mostly due to the two major deaths (Jason and Crest) happening as he could do nothing but watch. Crest was a hero, and all he wanted was to learn how to play the ukulele! I know he only appeared during the latter half of the book, but I think Crest was a pretty good character. Gosh I could talk about The Burnjng Maze for HOURS!!!
Lester, about Crest: Who’s that gay little dude? I fuck with him heavily.

Crest: *exists*
Me:
Sorry if I'm bothering you with this AU but I'm hyped now
I've been waiting for your reply since this morning. I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING. IT ALL MAKES SO MUCH SENSE.
ideas for the demon band: Hyacinthus is Jinu, Commodus-Baby, Caligula-Abby, Human Version of Incitatus-Mistery and Medea-Romance. Nero is the manager.
or, instead of incitatus, idk but someone else that has a beef with meg/apollo(?) HEAR ME OUT: Tarquinius.
Crest in this Au: he's a demon but his favorite band is the huntr/x so he helps them against Python/Gwi-ma
I think I'll go listen to the soundtrack again too.
haha i'm also lowkey hyperfixating on this au - so much so i uh. i may have a oneshot outlined? BUT I'M NOT TOUCHING IT I HAVE TWO CURRENT WIPS I NEED TO DO LMAO
and yes yes Hyacinthus is OBVIOUSLY Jinu I have no rebuffs toughs or complaints !! I will fight for this !!
this is peak demon band our Hunters are gonna have a conniption with this one (rip Apollo, having TWO of his exes in this situationship. poor guy.)
CREST IS ABSOLUTELY A SECRET HUNTR/X STAN HE CAN END UP BEING JASON'S PROTEGE/ASSISTANT MANAGER AND HE GETS VOCAL LESSONS FROM APOLLO RAP SESSION WITH MEG AND FREESTYLE DANCE FROM LAVINIA (they do a lot of tap too)
we're saving the honmoon with this found family !!
ALSO I FORGOT TO MENTION IN THE PREVIOUS POST - Artemis is also half-demon, right? But she's not a part of Huntr/x, so the question is what is she doing?
Well *gestures to Demeter's Demon Trauma* Apollo's demon genes get excused because he's a Hunter, but Artemis has a bit of a harder time getting along with Demeter because she can't help with the honmoon, and eventually she gets frustrated enough that she ends up making her own demon-killing squad, though they have a harder time taking demons out because you do need honmoon-weapons to kill them.
doesn't stop her from blowing them up >:3 She's also hidden her patterns, but eventually lets her closest friends in on them (Zoe, Phoebe, ect) so she's not as repressed as poor Apollo, though her patterns start growing around the same time his does, albeit at a bit of a slower rate, but because of it she can tell Something Is Wrong with Apollo.
She's there with Demeter when Apollo comes running in after the Idol Awards and blows up at Demeter after he leaves and she goes after him, so she witnesses Huntr/x making their comeback and kicking ass. She finds Jason and they're rooting their pack on !! (btw so Bobby calls Huntr/x "my girls" so Jason says "my pack" :3 WOLF MOTIF FOR HUNTR/X IN THIS AU AWHOOOOO!!!!!)
