Will blinked a couple times at Leo's question before an easy smile drifted onto his lips. "You can pick, whichever you want to start with," he offered, because although Will was ostensibly trying to make sure Leo had indeed fully recovered from dying and then resurrecting again, now he was pretty sure he needed to be a bit more thorough with his exam.
Which, come to think about it, Will didn't think Leo had ever actually come to see him before. Not for a check-up anyway. Sure, there was the occasional scrap he'd helped to fix during a Capture the Flag here or explosion in the Hephaestus cabin there, but of all the campers that had come to see Will, Leo wasn't really one of them. It almost reminded Will of Nico in a way--the both of them almost dedicated to not taking care of themselves.
Nodding slightly, he filed the thought away to think about more later. "Yeah, that's an improvement. And no new headaches?" he checked curiously. As long as things slowly improved and the initial injury wasn't too bad, concussions weren't too hard to recover from. That was as long as a second concussion didn't happen. "You've been wearing your head protection, right?"

so this was him . his father . he's not quite sure what he was expecting , but the man seemed almost . . . ordinary . still , he doesn't feel quite at ease . perhaps it's because he knows the truth , but percy pushes that feeling aside . he's got more than a few words for this man and he isn't about to hold back just because said man is a GOD . " you decided to show up , " he finally says , breaking the tense silence between them .

I like the idea of each of my three AU/fanfic ideas having a slightly different Narinder, slightly different Lamb(?)
or at least I hope they're distinct enough, Depression Quest and Courtship Lamb may be similar, but it doesn't make sense for moody trainwreck Courtship!Narinder to swap with dumbass trainwreck Restart!Narinder. Maybe he could switch with Restart!TOWW lmao
I'm gonna write some notes - which might change - on the pair/story for each AU because god knows if/when I'll actually write Depression Quest or Restart, at least we have some shitty doodles right
i promise i am working on Courtship i have done the Spongebob
THE
so far
... actually I'm nervous posting this fml sorry guys who are looking for delicious Courtship/Restart goodies
spoilers ahead for my Depression Quest AU/fic/whatever it is if spoilers for a nonexistent work matter to youwu. I'll blob a hopefully readable version of what story beats I had and link the two posts whenever it happens
ALSO CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNING SI/HI/THOUGHTS+ACTIONS OF HARMING SELF AND OTHERS/DEPRESSION
Depression Quest:
Lamb (she/they, mostly they)
poor babby beat down by the world and killed by the Bishops
gets the Red Crown and starts mowing them down with glee
they're a good leader, they're saving the Lands of the Old Faith from the Bishops, the Cult loves them
and it looks like The One Who Waits is as just as shitty as the others, can't have that, they are way better than he could ever be
so maybe they get a little too power happy and go a little too hard on the whole heroic leader thing
when he is conquered, TOWW is seen as nothing more than a trophy, a piece of property just like the Crowns surrounding his house
they act merciful, but Narinder knows it's just to make him submit, knows that they're just as power-hungry as he was
they let him run away because they'll always know where he is, and they want to see what happens/how long it takes before he crawls back to them
Narinder
finally gets revengeance on his family who threw him in jail, gets released from his prison just to get beat up and thrown into a gilded cage
he is depressed. he is angry. he has nothing left
I'm talking SI/HI, self-harm, screaming and breaking things, pushing Baal and Aym away, and crying on the floor breakdown shit
resists for a long time but eventually starts integrating into the Cult, only to get betrayed by a jealous follower
Narinder has a breakdown because he was stupid enough to think things would be better, so he runs away from the Cult
he encounters Ratoo and they bond over loss :'( but just like Ratoo, he never quite gets over things :(((((((
Ratoo might be the only person he'd call a friend/someone he trusts
addendum: narinder's third eye: he keeps it closed like in canon but technically he can open it, just really difficult and it fucking hurts to do it anyway
over time he gets a little strength to open it for short amounts of time but it still hurt
there's a few times when he gets angried or whatever when he accidentally attempts to open it and he goes OH FUCK OW and maybe it'll set his head straight
Depression Quest may have a bittersweet ending in which the Bishops return and were able to Get Over It™ in the Afterlife due to their actual support network, but I don't know tbh
I do know if they did return/if Narinder meets them again somehow, it'd just be like, sad, guarded, they'll reconcile but it's not the same kind of relationship deal
When I first came up with Depression Quest in September I was like, maybe Lamb is just protecting the baby and won't push him or anything because they love him and stuff
then as time passed I was like okay that's complete and utter bullshit and besides, Narinder is so consumed with his losses there is no way he could into a relationship in the near future. Sometimes people just can't move on :(
I also don't know how the Narinder/Ratoo friendshit even happened guys, it was just the idea of Narinder walking into Ratoo's heart pond and going "what the fuck are you doing" and things went from there

tu.lin has definitely tried using the whole sage business to self-aggrandise himself above things he doesn't want to do before ( not because he genuinely doesn't want to do them or anything. it just doesn't seem like a good use of his time as the sage of wind, y'know? he takes this job veeery seriously and is more responsible now, even if he only pulls this shit on the chores he is notoriously infamous for avoiding in the past — which is just a coincidence btw! he's grown past that, he swears!! ), but sa.ki and te.ba shut that down pretty quickly
like "oh, the sage of wind has no time to be a flockling who cleans out our aerie even though it was his agreed turn of the cycle? well, clearly he has no time to be a nestling who receives hugs from us either" and it gets tu.lin every time dlkfjkd
on serious reflection, though — beyond these instances and him running his beak off about his adventure with li.nk to his friends and the other villagers immediately after resolving the whole thing with colgera, once the novelty wears off, i don't think he actually sincerely says much about being a sage unprompted. it's not humility per se, he just doesn't see a point in addressing it if nobody asks ( and is more than happy to answer, otherwise ). in an ironic twist of events, he's got better things to do with his time than puff himself up over sagehood slfkjdf
it's due to a quiet sort of confidence, yeah, but also just...a nebulous understanding of his purpose as a sage. while he recognises his responsibilities as a flockmember and the eldest child of the elder ( which holds weight in terms of any impressions he makes of his family rather than any real emphasis on bloodlines ), he's still figuring out what being the sage of wind could mean for his people outside of being there for li.nk when he needs it/the whole of hyrule when it needs him — the full severity of which still kind of eludes him, honestly.
