Dances with the Vulture c. 28/40
A/N Demeter characterizationโ
The goddess is a sweetheart, no doubt. She would always be representative of the lovelier side of divine motherhood (to the extent of my readings, of course). She is, to me however, a terrifying force accumulated from sheer disgust of machismo.
While contemporary reimaginings often antagonize her in support of HadesxPersephone, I take her from the perspective of a woman who herself was a victim of r*pe. What tier of love it must be to accept wholeheartedly a daughter borne from malice?
And only later on be swindled by her brothers, her family. She searches for her daughter and they knew where the girl was kept. What twisted mind does that?
My take on her is dark, for sure. But thereโs more to this antagonism that meets the eye, more than a nuisance to her daughterโs โhappy marriage,โ more than mere sulking.
With powers unleashed, she could be one of Olympusโ most terrifying nightmares.

bedroom floor !

luke castellan x demeter! reader
summary: in which luke talks to his ex-girlfriend on a vacation with the senior campers.
warnings: just a naughty word or two :^
word count: 1.3k !
authors note: this one-shot is an ode to the song bedroom floor by sneaky peaches and the fuzz. definitely not sure about how i feel on this one-shot, but i tried my best to tie the โhopelessly heartbrokenโ vibes of the song into this fic. canโt tell if it worked or not, soooo!
Luke sat in the back of a crowded van, listening to the loud chatter between his friends. It was summer, and the senior campers managed to get Chironโs permission for a beach trip. This would be great, of courseโfor everyone needs a vacation sometimesโif you hadnโt broken up with him about a month prior.
It wasnโt exactly bad. You were far too sweet for a angry, heartless breakup like that. But Gods, did he miss you. I mean truly, deeply miss you, and he was hoping by now heโd be over it.
Spoiler, he wasnโt.
Because now, he was pretending to pay attention to Chris, more focused on you singing with Clarisse in the passenger seat.
โAnd heโs gone. How surprising.โ Chris groaned, realizing that Luke was in his own little world. Silena chuckled, seeing Lukeโs dazed expression next to Chrisโ blank stare of frustration.
As a child of Aphrodite, and friend to the former couple, she often fell victim to Castellanโs bouts of love and sadness. Sheโd watched him ramble about how gorgeous you looked, wishing he could kiss you the way he used to. But, she had also let him lean on her shoulder, crying into the stars about how heโd follow you anywhere.
On the other hand, she knew how deeply it hurt you to break up with the golden boy. You had only done it out of fear, your recent nightmares pointing to a quest of some kind. You were scared. Scared of how the quest would turn out, and even more scared of how Luke may handle it, so you broke up with him.
You tried to ignore your guilt, but it kept coming back to taunt you. Your plan was to fix that today.
The car slowed to a halt, and the music was turned down, effectively stopping your singing and jumping. Clarisse leaned her elbow on the passenger seat, looking back to her friends with a smirk. โAlright bitches, our vacation has officially begun.โ
The car filled with excited cheers, and in a mad rush to get out the car, everyone found themselves basking in the warmth of Jones Beach. The heat was refreshing, in a sense; a reminder that they were out of camp grounds and free to do as they pleased.
Y/n ran off to the edge of the water, her bags long forgotten in her excitement to be near the sea. She stood there, grinning at the waters edge, with a white coverup hiding her swimsuit from view.
โCome on Y/n, show us the swimsuit!โ Clarisse whistled to you, earning a soft chuckle as she carried over your stuff. Since the breakup, you and Clarisse had become closer friends, jokingly flirting with each other and pushing each otherโs buttons. Youโd grown to find comfort in her mask of aggression, knowing that she was a true friend deep down.
โDonโt get too excited!โ You yelled back to her, wiggling your shoulders exaggeratively and earning laughs from your group of friends.
As the laughing began to die, you untied your coverup, letting it drop to the ground dramatically. Clarisse and Chris whistled, Silena clapping and hooting in a bout of approval; but Luke sat there, eyes wide with adoration, tryingโand failingโnot to stare for too long.
You were wearing a light blue one piece, made with a perfect bow in the center of your chest. It hugged your hips comfortably, and he watched as you spun in a circle to show your friends the whole thing.
It was nothing revealing, nor outlandish, it was just such a reflection of you. The sweet, soft, bow-loving girl he always knew.
And he needed you, unlike anything in the world. He needed you now, and forever.
โยทห เผ *๐
The first two hours of your beach trip were spent splashing each other and swallowing too much ocean water. Most recently, you played water chicken on Silenaโs shoulders, with Chris fighting against you on Lukeโs. The ravenette spared glances at you every few seconds, making Chris lose to a solid push right to his chest. The boys splashed and laughed in a faux rivalry, throwing random accusations as to why they had lost, and you watched them lovingly as you made your way out of the water.
You decided you wanted to sunbathe for a bit, growing tired of the endless swimming and dunking your friends into the water. Sunbathing was much more relaxing, and it would give you time to read the book youโd been meaning to start.
Watching as you laid down on your towel, Luke slowly stopped splashing Chris. Even he would admit it was creepy, how often he stopped to look at you, but this time he couldnโt help but indulge. His heartbeat sped up with every passing second, wanting nothing but to walk through the sand and be with you. Wanting love. Wanting you. Wanting things to be normal again.
โChris, Iโll be back in a bit.โ
Chris shrugged, already knowing where his friend would go.
The child of Hermes swam up to the shore, anxiously walking up to the spot where you lay. You could feel his presence before you saw him, and your heart tightened as he took a seat right beside you.
โY/n.โ He said gingerly, trying not to let his anxiousness bleed into his words.
โHey hero.โ You sighed softly in return, sitting up to face him properly. You knew that he wanted to talk, and you knew you needed to. You made a mistake in breaking up with him, and he deserved to know. But, just as your lips parted, his own words came spilling out.
โI miss you, Y/n.โ He began, taking a deep breath, โYou wereโand you still areโthe best thing to ever come out of this shitty life of being a half-blood. YouโYou are gentle, and kind, and soft, and I can be slow with you. I can live and love slow with you.โ
His words made your heart stutter, your breathing going shallow with the weight of it all. You looked down at your feet, tears threatening to fall, as he rambled about you.
โYou are my angel, my flower, my sun and my stars. I would follow you anywhere, Y/n, but I have to know whyโฆโ He paused, swallowing any fear left in his stomach, โWhy wouldnโt you follow me?โ
His final words came out in a solemn whisper, one that made you shiver with guilt at how youโd hurt this poor boy. What you thought would help had only harmed the both of you, and now, you were paying for it; paying for the way he loved you so unconditionally.
โI want to, Luke.โ You whispered, tears landing on your towel beneath you.
Luke felt his heart shatter. He watched as you wiped away tears stiffly, trying to hide the way you slowly broke in front of him. With a cautious hand, he reached up to your cheek, caressing it with his thumb the way he always did when you cried. His calloused hand felt like it melted into you, a sensation so familiar that it made you cry harder. You missed him. You missed this, and the way he held you.
So you leaned in, bringing a hand to the side of his neck. He looked into your eyes, tearful and soft, and planted a passionate kiss on your shaking lips. The butterflies in your stomach awoke from their slumber, and your lips molded to his in the same way they used to. You tasted like strawberries and vanilla, and he brought you in further to taste you just a bit more.
โI want to, Luke.โ You breathed, โI want to follow you anywhere.โ
