without grace & ungently
☆ for @drewtanakaweek riordanverse flash fic fridays: night drives, "I can't believe..."
The argument didn’t matter, it had materialized over nothing. A blink-and-you-miss-it problem that Drew only saw because she was searching for it, searching for a reason.

Justice
“I used to hate you”, Nico whispered, “I used to absolutely despise you. All the taunting, forcing me to remember memories I had tried my hardest to bury deep inside of me. Your son forced me to experience them all again. Cupid publicly humiliated me and, for what? To conquer love. I didn’t want to believe that would truly help me to face my fears. I had become so used to running away from them; said action had become as known to me as my own skin. At that time, I truly wish love had never set foot in my life. And in such an unfair and merciless manner to make it all worst…”
Nico stopped his little monologue to glance at Will, who was cheerfully chatting with his siblings at the Apollo Table. He took a deep breath: “…Now, however, I must admit I have changed the perspective I thought would forever be set in stone in my mind and heart. I have come into an understanding with love. I know now that yes, while love sometimes make you incredibly sad, it can also make you incredibly happy. Love truly has the justice I believed it thoroughly lacked. Love was not a punishment sent my way by the Gods, but instead a gift. A gift that, although it took a dam long time to open, when it did, it filled me with immense joy. I now know what it feels to love and be loved fully in return. To be hold in someone’s arms like one is the most precious jewel in their world. To be heard with such attention; as if every word was of a value comparable to that of the whole universe. And for that I am deeply grateful for love.”
Nico then threw the best portion of his meal, his delicious fries, into the fire: “Nevertheless, I will never forget Cupid to what he did to me. Thus, this offering goes to Lady Aphrodite, Goddess of Love.” And with that, Nico walked towards his boyfriend with the rest of his meal, eager to spend dinner with him, camp rules be damed.

My work for April 26th Riordanverse Flash Fic Fridays!
Here is my work based on the April 26th prompts for the @drewtanakaweek. The prompts were so amazing again and I chose number 3. As soon as I saw this prompt, I thought of the perfect idea for a story about Drew that is in a series I am currently working on, so I got to work writing. I meant to get this posted earlier, but I had to go to the hospital.

Despite Everything
For @drewtanakaweek's weekly Flash Fic Friday prompt for the Riordanverse: "It's not my fault..." I kind of did a play on it of sorts. Of course, since it's so short, I'm publishing on Tumblr rather than on Ao3. New Ao3 fic is possibly in the works.
SUMMARY: The day of Adrian's funeral, Alex makes a choice.
WORD COUNT: 573 words
TW: Discussion of suicide (non-graphic)
The day Alex found out was the day that he resolved that he would live. Despite everything, despite the Boston winters and the nights with claws and teeth, despite the various beings trying to kill him because of whom his mother was, he would live. He would get past this terrible stage of his life and crawl out of this ditch and live long and well.
For hours, Alex walked around the city. He started leaving Forest Hills Cemetery as soon as the body was in the ground and just started wandering vaguely eastward without a real intention or destination. The leaves of trees in the graveyard were lit up in hues of red and orange, ready to be shed and rid of their roots. The sun shone in the October blue sky, not a cloud in sight. The day had no right to be this pretty. It felt disrespectful.
Adrian’s parents had invited Alex that morning, had told him that Adrian was gone, for no good reason other than that Adrian’s note was addressed to him. They had known Alex for a while, sure, but ever since they had caught Adrian and him smoking weed, he was banned from their house. Alex couldn’t really blame them. He didn’t know how bad of an influence he had been until Adrian wound up dead. It was like Alex’s suicidality had rubbed off on Adrian. Every time they were together, Alex felt like he was healing, as if someone was bandaging his wounds. He just wished that Adrian hadn’t been the gauze that just became bloodier and bloodier. As Alex got better, Adrian got worse, and neither of them ever pointed it out.
Alex’s ears were still ringing. He’d been in shock before. But this was worse. This wasn’t some kid punching him on the playground, or him running away from home, or his abuelo dying. This was somehow more personal.
Adrian’s mom had tried to be gentle when telling him the news this morning. She had found him in the soup kitchen where he had met Adrian almost a year before— the one where all of Adrian’s family volunteered. She told him to sit down. He set his chicken noodle soup down on the table and complied. The first thing she said was, “I want you to know It’s not your fault. It’s not anyone’s. At least, I hope God won’t find my soul guilty.” Alex kept thinking about that— that it wasn’t his fault. He couldn’t bring himself to believe it.
Alex knew the afterlives— Helheim, Folkvangr, Valhalla, all the typical suspects. He couldn’t imagine that suicide was considered a heroic death. Adrian’s attempt at relief had most likely doomed him to Helheim, doomed him to fight on a side of a war on which he didn’t want to fight, doomed him forever. Alex tried not to think about forever.
Eventually, Alex ran out of sidewalk. He looked up and saw before him Boston Harbor, outstretching to the horizon. Without realizing it, he’d stumbled into Fan Pier Park, right by the water. He supposed he’d been thinking a lot.
After finding a bench on which to sit, Alex gazed out at the water— the waves crashing and surging against the concrete of the pier. And he promised himself that, no matter what, he would survive. He would make his life long and happy. He would see for himself the future that Adrian didn’t get to explore. And he would make it to next autumn.
