I’ve read fics where the topic of marriage is something so very foreign and alien to them. They aren’t totally against it, they just don’t see it happening, or it just doesn’t roll off the tongue, much as it hurts to merely gaze at one another (an “I love you” between these fuckers can make me stop dead in my tracks) And tbh I find that really fitting for them, and strange in an endearing way. The exploration of that part of their relationship was something I didn’t know I needed. It’s like they become so much more tender and may I even say vulnerable in the face of it, to the point of them not really knowing what to do about it, which led me to recognizing that it could actually be a big deal for them and not only something that has a 50% chance of ending in disaster. I mean what is marriage if not two people being able to meet in the middle and really see each other and stay committed after that? And to witness that happening between Jack and Tyler? Truly a novelty.
headcanon that after bloodbending in tartarus percy is more sensitive to feeling the water in blood meaning that he can sometimes feel annabeth’s pulse quicken when she looks at him or when he tucks her hair behind her ear or says something sweet
this is something i've been struggling with. for some context: planning a novel that starts when one of the MCs is born and goes through her entire life, but there are periods of monotony that my brain isn't sure it wants to make 3+ books about
Warnings: mentions of blood and death, angst, time jumping/skipping
Summary: why hobie helped miles.
Notes: this happens after every thing gets sorted out also this is very different from the comics (sorry for bad writing)

"Why'd you help me?" Miles and Hobie were sitting on top of the Brooklyn tower. In Miles' dimension, enjoying the view from so high up.
"What'd you mean?" Hodie asked, turning towards Miles.
"I mean well when everyone else was on me for going against a cannon event you were there to help me" miles admitted. "Why did you do that?"
Hobie stayed quiet for a moment getting lost in the past.

(Going back in time)
'This was it,' Hobie thought 'today was the day that he'd take down Kingpin.'
It was all planned out. The spider army and him would go to Kingpin's headquarters. The spider army would take the bottom levels while he'd take the top. Leading the spider army would be his beautiful y/n.
They had been telling him for weeks how excited they were. That they'd be fighting alongside spider-punk and finally be taking down "that good for nothing autocrat!" As y/n had said to him, hobie multiple times.
Y/n didn't know that spider-punk was her best friend, Hobie Brown. It was for the best but now once Kingpin was taken down he could tell her everything.
As he swung around a building he saw the spider army already at the bottom ready to fight. Just as planned y/n was right up there already pushing at the guards.
Once he had swung around hyping up everyone they started the attack. Going just as planned. As the fight was going on he'd get glimpses of y/n fighting tough and nail. At one point she'd picked up a pipe and swung it like a mad man for anyone that got too close.
"Kingpin!" He shouted finally finding that snake. "Where you've been?" Jumping off and kicking him right in the face sending him tumbling to the ground. Hobie started running toward–
"Aaaaaaahhhh" Hobie stopped dead in his tracks.
'No' he wiped around towards the scream. 'No no no no no no. Not them please not them.'
He turned the corner around some rumble and saw y/n laying on the ground with a blood stained shirt.
"Oh no no no." He dropped to his knees next to y/n. "You're gonna to be okay, it's gotta to be okay I'll take you to the hospital will get you help"
In the midst of the scene he'd completely forgotten he was in his suit covering up his face. He couldn't think about that now y/n needed help now.
"Who…" y/n squinted streaming to see the figure above them.
"You know me!" He didn't mean to yell but the fear of losing her was taking its hold.
"Hobes?" Y/n's voice was weak as they reached for his mask, taking it off.
"Yeah it's me love"
"How do you fit all that hair under there?" Y/n smiled weakly.
"You're bleedin out and that's what you're thinking about?" He couldn't decide between laughing or throwing up at the blood that's coming out. "I need to–"
"No."
"What?"
"I said no"He was dumbfounded. 'It's the blood loss' he thought 'she can't think straight'
"It's too late for me Hobes."
"I can't lose you." Hobie was cradling y/n by now.
"It's okay," she said.
"I can save you," Hobie said, getting to his feet.
"You're no hero" and with that y/n took her last breath.

(Back to the present)
"Just lost some good ones to it s'all" Hobie answered.
"Well thanks you saved me," Miles smiled.
'Wish I could save everyone' hobie stared down at his hands 'but I'm no hero.'
