❛ a falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes ❜⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⬩❖⬩ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯"How . . ." She was at a loss for words. This was a dream, right? But if it was, how could she be feeling all of this? How could she feel his magic, or his touch, or the cool air of the corridor? None of it made sense.One of his hands raised, as though wanting to touch her face, but it hesitated before lowering. Some small part of Ana was left disappointed. "You're . . . you're here? How are you here?"Ana swallowed thickly. "I⎯I don't know. I thought I was . . . this is a dream. But then . . ."Realization dawned in his eyes. "Oh." Ana frowned. What did oh mean? "Shit.""What?" Ana asked. She needed answers. This was the second strange thing that had happened in four days. "Why are you saying shit? What's going on?"His hand wrapped around her wrist again and he pulled her through the darkness, away from the door. "She can't know about this. None of them can.""Who can't know about what?" Ana nearly stumbled over her footing, but her years of training kept her upright. "Tell me what's happening. Who even are you? How am I here?"…

❝ she knows how to be both beautiful and dangerous all at once ❞⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⬩❖⬩ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯"My favorite color is blue." Aurora bit her lip to block her laughter. How original? A son of Neptune liked the color blue. She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, glancing his way. Her cerulean eyes seemed to glow in the darkness. "Let me guess. . . you also love blue food?"Percy's cheeks heated up, his eyes meeting her own. "Maybe."The two walked in silence for a little while longer, nearing the boat after a few moments. Aurora shouldered hers and Hazel's bags while Percy grabbed his and Frank's. They turned and began walking back to the cliff where Hazel and Frank were.After a hesitant moment, Aurora spoke up. "My favorite color is, and don't laugh." She sent him a look. A glare with no heat behind it. A glare that made Percy chuckle softly. "My favorite color is yellow."Percy let out a loud, contagious laugh that echoed off of the cliff side. Aurora watched the years of stress and sadness leave his face as he tossed his head back, eyes crinkling with joy. Aurora soon found herself laughing as well, finding it hard not to when Percy was. They stopped and laughed for a while, Aurora's stomach cramping as tears of joy slid down her cheeks.Percy inhaled deeply and shook his head with a wide grin. "And you're calling me 'original.'""Shut up, Kelp Head.""Whatever you say, Sleeping Beauty."(COVER BY @Maribi231) Thank you so much, bae!…

❝ Don't make me punch you, Hercules! ❞⟶🞘⬩⬥⬩🞘⟵Malia couldn't believe her eyes. There were a lot of things she had seen in her time as a demigod, but this? This was a whole new level of weird she never thought she would meet.One minute she had been flying out of a tunnel in the side of a mountain, her and her friends being chased by harpies and storm spirits, and next thing she knows, she's waking up at a picnic table in where she believed was California dressed in completely different clothes."What. The. Actual. Fuck?" Piper asked as she looked down at her outfit. "Mother!"Malia was going to have a serious talk with Aphrodite after this on how to dress someone properly for battle. Because what she had on was not it!"APHRODITE!"…

❝ I love you right up to the moon-and back ❞⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⬩❖⬩ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯"We have to jump off the cliff." Percy stated quietly, my eyes widening. "Into the sea."I leaned closer to Percy. "Okay, Mr. 'Son of Poseidon'. Super idea. Only problem is that that ocean is about five-hundred feet below us, and a fall from anything over fifty feet will flatten us!" I brushed my hair over my shoulder. "Think of something else!"He never got the chance to argue with me, because right when I finished talking, an invisible force slammed into the two of us, sending us straight into the ground.…

❛ if you strike me down, i shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine ❜⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⬩❖⬩ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Aurora was ready to give the Fates a godly slap. She didn't care if they'd get back at her by snipping her string of life. She was done with them meddling and messing about. They were treating her life like it was a fucking soap opera, and she was done. Done with the surprise plot twists, done with the painful losses, and absolutely fucking done with the monsters!"Is that what I think it is?" She wanted to be wrong. For the sake of all that was good and holy, she wanted to be so completely wrong. But Percy's shaky response proved her right. "Yeah. Yeah, I think it is."The girl groaned and shoved her face into Percy's chest. She was so tired. So fucking tired. But, of course, the Fates just had to throw a fucking Drakon in her way and screw with her some more. She was so close to just letting Gaea win, honestly. Whatever provided the least amount of work."Let's get this shit storm rolling, then."…
