🐚 Daughter of Neptune headcanons list 🌊 part one..
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Note: I've never done a pjo hcs post like this with the aesthetic pictures and everything- but I've been Itching to make a daughter of Neptune one, since I consider myself as a Neptune child. So this is sort of a self insert haha, and I thought it'd fun cuz I have so many hcs abt this, I've only over seen ppl do a daughter of Poseidon one.
Also this one has reader x Jason Grace as romantic pairings, but it isn't the main focus. Like I said, this is a self insert, and I love my bb jason ;) + imagine having Percy as a big brother, goals fr
• Okay so you'd come to Camp Jupiter at the age of 8-9, so you definitely have a considerable amount of childhood before you came to camp. Which only made it harder for you to adapt to the barbaric ways the Roman camp worked.
• Also, Since Neptune was not a very respected Roman god, your arrival was considered bad luck. Octavian made you go through an intense trial (that motherfucker was like 10 years old and an augur, and was already such a bitch lol) + forced a newly elected praetor Reyna (who was also just 10 at the time) to hold a senate meeting before you were even offered a position at camp.
• Neptune is very feared by the romans though, since he represented the harsh brutality of the ocean, so you got the Roman Nico di Angelo treatment from camp. Everyone was scared of you, flinched when you walked passed them. this was to your advantage tho, since you never got bullied, mostly out of fear.
• so Neptune temples in Camp Jupiter are only taken care of by you, if you left for a quest or something then the shrines would be in such a horrible state, bc no one cares enough to offer Neptune anything or even clean up his shrine. You'd do the cleaning and offering.
• and the worst part? Your dad wouldn't even notice you even after your efforts.
• okay, your powers are quite similar to Percy's butt I feel like since Roman/Greek siblings always have powers that compliment eachother, you'd have better control over the earthly side of the domain. Like you can cause longer earthquakes, control seismic waves, and make volcanos erupt + cause bigger avalanches, Stuff like that.
• Your water control was actually a little limited, up until Percy arrived and helped you enhance your powers. And you helped enhance his control over earthquakes, since his earthquakes usually only lasted for a few seconds, his dad is more water dominant. So when you met him, you knew he was a missing puzzle piece in your life. You'd even be able to communicate telepathically to Percy underwater, a power you both never knew you needed.
• Seriously tho it would be hilarious to look at, bc to the others, you both sound like squeaky dolphins but in reality you are just telepathically speaking with one another. The others wouldn't understand, and poor Frank would be so confused as to why you both are making strangled fish noises
Leo would troll you guys so bad for this lol
• your eyes would actually be black. Not blue, not sea green, just black. Your eyes would literally glitter like black obsidian rocks. because Poseidon is the calm side of ocean, hence sea green eyes for Percy, Neptune is the dark and scary side of the ocean, so that's black eyes for you. that difference would clearly reflect in your guys's eye colours AND personality (I'll expand on this more in part 2)
• but your scariness comes with a downside, you had no friends. No friends, except Jason and Reyna. it's just your dad's naturally strict aura surrounding you that makes your overall personality a Lil grumpy and moody tbh. You did have such a resting bitch face that wasn't helping either.
• Jason, being the noble boy he was, knew you were going to be his friend the moment you made a dramatic entrance to camp for the first time, getting scouted by the waves to New Rome. He knew what it was like to have a powerful, scary dad, but he acknowledged and empathized that you had it harder than he did. He was considered a golden boy, while you were considered a scary bad luck charm. But regardless of that, Jason was your first best friend. And eventually, your boyfriend.
• Reyna on the other hand, badly wanted to befriend you because she admired your mental strength, you were 9 years old and you were openly scoffed at by the legionnaires simply because your father was a scary man. Yet you handled it all so well. But she befriended you a little later than Jason did. Since she was so busy, she barely had any time to chat with anyone. You, Jason and Reyna bonded as a trio when you guys had your first quest.
• Reyna secretly shipped you and Jason from the very beginning lol, bc a Jupiter x Neptune union? Y'all were powerful and cute af together. The mutual pining drives her crazy though, like kiss already smh.
• Also, Nicknames! Your nickname was ALWAYS "kelp head" because your hair was wavy and shaped like seaweed lol. As much as you hated to admit it, the name fit a little too well.
• okay enough with the friendship stuff, let's talk about how much that bastard Octavian makes it his mission to make your life a hellhole. It isn't even funny anymore, he hated you from the very beginning. Not only because you were considered bad luck, it's because he envied that you were a direct descendant of such a powerful God, he couldn't even handle Jason's arrival, yours was just the last straw for him. He opposes your opinions in front of the whole senate + prevents you from getting elected as Centurion + attempts to prevent you from going on quests, bc he can't handle someone else taking the glory.
• He was also the reason you were put into the unpopular twelfth legion. The underdog legion. But Jason? That sweetheart made it worth being in the twelfth legion so you weren't complaining tbh.
• honestly? Octavian and you are famous in camp for your bickering though lol it's just always a back and forth between you and him, such burning rivalry and enmity. You LOVED roasting him and you were fucking great at it too. He deserved that for making you go though hell. You'd laugh like a maniac when he trips and he smirks when has the upper hand against you in senate discussions.
• Reyna is the only reason you both didn't beat eachother up at this point tbh
• once, Reyna came running up to you all panicky because Octavian went missing from camp. In response, you beamed and told her that you'd get the balloons ready in the dining hall for a grand celebration. Jason would burst out laughing lol.
• you'd steal his teddy bears and give them to younger campers, asking them to hide it from octavian. So the younger campers absolutely adore you, unlike the older ones.
• you are also quite the rebel in camp, JUST like Octavian predicted you would be, when you first came to camp. It was actually written in his auguries that the new child of Neptune arrival would be always shafting the rules, since the sea can't be controlled. It's in a nature for a Neptune child to walk their own pace (lol have you seen Percy??) That gave another reason for him to hate you.
• Even some of the lares in CJ would call you an abnormal roman bc you never acted like one. You were wild and temperamental.
This rule breaking tendency you had did earn you lots of punishments that included scrubbing the whole camp with a toothbrush. But it was worth it for you. Camp Jupiter sucked. And you were already in trouble, so what's a little more, right?
• you'd sneak out at night to explore New Rome, because again, the Romans had this weird bedtime curfew like. they have rules for every. Fucking. Thing. It pissed you off so bad. They wouldn't even let you explore the city at night? They were seriously wasting the beauty of the city, You'd definitely rope Jason in to break the rules with you. Like don't be such a goody two shoes smh. I feel like that's what attracted him to you in the first place. He's a goody goody boy with such a boring life, youd just make it interesting for him.
• besides, sneaking out is SO much easier when you can fly. So Jason is your personal airplane. The Jason Grace airlines.
• okay so after all your hardwork in the legion, you'd finally get elected to Centurion, after you successfully finished a quest to retrieve a lost Roman artifact, which was formerly Jason's position and he would become a co praetor with Reyna. But you were still very much disrespected in camp tbh, it just became an internalised thing for everyone to hate you at this point, Octavian was also great at putting your reputation under dirt, but you didn't really care anymore.
• now here comes the catch, Jason and you were sort of in a half-pining half-relationship situation, Before that jerk goes missing. because neither of you knew how to confess, and camp was SO strict when it came to relationships for some reason?? Like even dating has to be lowkey.
• you and Jason are totally the grumpy x sunshine trope lol except you're the grumpy, snippy and batshit one and jason is calm, levelheaded and optimistic one.
Perfect balance. Gosh your dynamic would be so cute :(
• you'd just be grumpily stomping around while jason stalks behind you, laughing lightly. You're super short compared to him aswell, so yeah it makes it funnier.
• You were in charge of welcoming Hazel to camp, since Jason and Reyna had some serious meeting stuff about the new prophecy Octavian told them about.
• poor hazel would be scared to death while meeting you, not just bc it's you, it's bc she just came back from the dead, so this is all rlly new for her.
• That's where you met him. Nico di Angelo. You'd bond over your shared mistreatment in camp. So you became homies w him fairly quickly. He saw you as this cool big sister he could have happy meals with talking abt life.
• you would be a little curious when he keeps disappearing off to somewhere tho, you knew he was lying about where he came from.
Okay part 1 of this is done, this was so long lol, part 2 would drop later, that's where you and Percy meet and stuff.
Update: part two is out! https://www.tumblr.com/somewhereinhogsmeade/746489087922520064/daughter-of-neptune-headcanons-list-part-two?source=share

Mmmmm, i sent a request but im not so sure it processed though, since tumblr is a bit weird sometimes, so could i request a part two for the poly!solangelo x child of poseiden!reader? you know how in the last olympian percy an annabeth share an underwater kiss? well what if reader has like a secret hide out cave near cabin three but the only way to get to it is by going underwater, and its like really pretty, theres fairy lights, blankets, pieces of pearls and coral laying around, shells just here and there, jewelry, chest full of tresure(nobody knows where it came from probably from poseiden tho-(cause favoritism))and theres like this pocket of water where you get into and out of the cave, etc, etc, so reader decides to take solangelo underwater and into the hide out cave, the three of all explored the sea and then when they got to the cave, reader(whos still a merperson peeping out from the pocket of water) gifts the two the most beautiful pieces of pearl jewelry so they can all be matching and its just very very fluffy in general!!!!
poly!solangelo x child of poseidon!reader (merperson) part 2
-You could see Nico’s hesitation as you lead the two boys towards the lake. You had told them that you had a surprise for them. It's crazy to think that it had been a week since the three of you had been in a relationship and it had been nothing but bliss.
-Of course you had been friends before all of this but now that you were dating you wanted to show them your special spot. Normally this is where you would go if you wanted alone time, so it was very special to you. But you were willing to share it with them. “It’ll be ok I promise.” you reassure Nico, gently squeezing his hand before you jump off the dock into the water with a splash. -Will can’t help but laugh as he shields himself from the water, Nico getting the brunt of the splash but sighs heavily as if annoyed but you could see the faint smile on his face. “Guess it’s our turn!” Will yells as he jumps into the water pulling Nico with him by his hand. Both of them cause a large splash as well making you laugh happily.
-With both boys underwater you make a  bubble of air for them to breathe. The last thing you wanted to do was drown your new boyfriends... Content with your work you take their hands leading them to the deep part of the lake through a hole at the bottom. That was where you kept your secret cave. The three of you make your way up into the cave that had fairy lights, blankets, coral and a beautiful treasure chest.
-”Wow…” Will says in amazement as their bubble pops once they reach the shore. You have to stay half in the water as you have your large tail. “This is my little hideout.” you explain with a smile seeing the two of them look around. “I know I call you a crow but you’re really selling it.'' Nico says as he lifts up some jewelry from your chest. “Hey!” you complain, making Will laugh.
-”It really is beautiful.” Will says with a kind smile that makes you blush. “This isn’t actually the only surprise I had…” the two of them do look back at you in curiosity. You dive going to your hiding spot and bringing back your gifts, a black pearl bracelet and a yellow one slipping the black one onto Nico’s wrist and the yellow onto Will’s. “There. I figured we should match…” you explain with a little blush.
-”I guess this means we’re official.” Nico says with a fond smile as he looks over the pearls. “Thank you, it really is beautiful.” Will says in hushed amazement. Nico and Will nod to each other and you can’t help but wonder what they have planned. That’s when Nico leans down kissing you gently on your lips. While your heart was fluttering and eyes wide open Will kissed you as well leaving you speechless for a few seconds as that was your first kiss, or well kisses. “W-Wait we have to do it again I had my eyes open.” you plead, making both boys laugh.

I NEED to know how the yanderes and percy will react to Apollo's fanfiction ASDFGHJKL 😭😭😭
beelzebub will be the first to find out cuz he loves books and ever since he fell for percy, he started to grow a love for romance books. then he hears about the apollo x percy fics that are going around. he reads it and is IMMEDIATELY intrigued, esp with the smut books cuz "does percy actually like that position??" "is she truly sensitive there?" "so THESE are the kinda things she likes???" he'll be questioning the credibility of these facts, but he'll be VERY curious and try to launch his own... experiment on her to find out
hades will be the second to find out. i like to think he caught beelzebub reading them and was curious about it too only to be VERY surprised to see that it's about his nephew and niece. Rather than getting mad, he'll genuinely feel amusement and second-hand embarrassment for Apollo 😂 (he'll buy some books later on tho when no one's looking 👀, maybe he can find a way to replace Apollo's name with his own...???)
poseidon and percy are the last to find out. daddyseidon is PISSED that apollo dared to write such explicit works about HIS precious daughter, he'll also be VERY brutal with the critiquing like "you think my daughter's looks is comparable to pearls? WRONG! there is no creature or object in this world that can contest to her beauty how DARE you degrade her like this!!!" someone's gonna need to hold him back
poor percy will NEVER show her face in valhalla ever again after this, in fact she is never stepping foot out of the palace 💀 (this is the one good thing to come out of apollo's fanfics in poseidon's opinion)
she won't be the only one embarrassed. poor apollo is gonna hide out in delos after this while cursing artemis and praying to his father to protect him from poseidon's wrath 💀

I've been pretty pos about the show overall (albeit with some criticisms, and I did think episodes 6 and 7 were disappointing and underwhelming) so maybe take my opinion with a grain of salt, but I can confirm that the last episode was really good! one of the bests out of the entire season, if I'm being honest.
they utilized flashbacks really well (Luke + Percy sparring), and the Luke scene was 10/10 imo
ok i finally watched the last episode (over 2 weeks after you sent this, sorry nonnie) and it was definitely the best of the bunch! i liked it :) a solid 6.5/10 maybe, if i had to give a number score? you didn't ask but i love sharing my opinion so, some bullet points:
THE GOOD:
zeus was legit really good! the first (and only) god to actually feel godly, something i've been CRAVING the entire show! "so when i say 'you may go' it means be grateful and it means be gone" is a bar and i'm so sad we won't get more of lance reddick's performance
the ares fight was cool-- good choreography, i like how much Bigger and more physically powerful ares is than percy, you could really feel the strength in his strikes which didn't come across as much in the books. finally seeing percy fully use his powers was neat too, and actually pretty good cgi! i wish it had been longer though. and i wish we got percy actually outwitting ares and using his strength and pride against him instead of ares just staring at the huge wave coming at him for 10 seconds. and feeling the presence of kronos would have been cool. and i wish they had kept ares' curse on him after being defeated which was so much cooler. but i guess i can't have everything
really glad we finally got some training flashbacks with luke! i agree that it's utilized great by being intercut with the ares fight and olympus, and i think they captured luke and percy's dynamic well! luke's line about not being both small and scary was a good addition
speaking of luke, the betrayal scene was also p good! the visual of the fireworks lighting up the scarred side of his face is great (though it would've been better if the scar looked nastier and we actually got its history......) and i think it makes a lot of sense for him to try and recruit percy instead of just killing him! "stop saying we" / "it's the word zeus fears the most" is another great line
percy apologizing after hitting luke was cute lmao, and imo he was a better character in general this episode-- we got more of his edge and impertinence (which i've sorely missed) but also more of his heart and loyalty
other cute things: the last scene between the trio, grover's searchers license being a flower, the sally scenes, percy calling kronos grandpa
walker's performance was also the best it's been so far, he felt like he embodied the character and got to show that he actually has talent
i like the idea of the "clarisse is the lightning thief" red herring! never bothered to watch episodes 6 and 7 though so i can't say much about it
not related to ep 8 specifically but since i haven't mentioned it yet, i actually really like the change of having four pearls instead of three! it works with show!percy being more explicitly focused on saving sally, it makes sense for poseidon to do that as a gesture of goodwill, and it gives more weight to "you shall fail to save what matters most in the end" if they Could have saved her and actually did fail by losing one of the pearls (<- the way they lost one was lame as fuck tho)
THE BAD:
starting off with a nitpick sorry but it bothers me so much that the prophecy line got changed to "find what was stolen and see it returned" when the original just objectively flows better
it also gets under my skin to no end that they just call mrs dodds "alecto" the whole time like what happened to names having power??
also mr d sucks shit he doesn't have that necessary threatening aspect or feel meaningfully resentful of the camp at all. case study: calling percy by the wrong name. in the books it's a sign of purposeful disrespect because he doesn't like percy and doesn't gaf about halfbloods in general, which makes it important on the few occasions when he does get it right, in the show it's just a bad joke
gabe accidentally petrifying himself is a bad change.. i get that it was a consequence of his own nosiness and lack of respect for others, and in a vacuum that's fine (and more fitting for a less explicitly abusive gabe), but it's so much weaker compared to the books. gabe being genuinely Awful adds so much strength to sally's character, both in her selfless love for percy by staying with gabe to protect him and when she actually does get to rescue herself and take control of her own life
i was underwhelmed by how olympus looked-- on a technical level it's pretty, but it was so grey and had none of the energy and sense of life described in the books (which is important for the contrast to how it looks in the fifth!) i think this is a flaw with how they use the volume as a whole, which i also noticed on the beach in the ares scenes. objectively it looks nice, but it's flat and boring when it's overused or you don't add other physical set dressing
was also disappointed they didn't include the gods' custom thrones and they're all nondescript metal :^( where's the personality! where's the whimsy!
making the quest deadline pass to set up poseidon surrendering for percy is fine i guess-- and i can see why it was changed since they've leaned so hard into The Gods Are Bad Parents and need to make it believable that percy wouldn't immediately side with luke-- but again, it's just... weaker than what we already had
i reeeeaaally hate that annabeth was there for the betrayal scene..... her clinging to the hope that luke could be turned back is a FUNDAMENTAL part of the story, both as a character flaw and what ultimately saves them, and i don't see how that could be believable going forward if she actually heard him say that he wants to tear the gods down? and if you're gonna do that at least have her react believably? like that's her big brother, who saved her, who she's known since she was 7, have her yell at him or cry or attack him or something! SOMETHING! why does this show hate annabeth so much i don't understand
i've liked the kronos dream sequences fine so far but i wasn't a big fan of this last one, too cartoon villainy for my taste
and finally to address the elephant in the room, my god the exposition is so fucking annoying, it's by far the biggest problem with the show. whenever percy starts explaining things to people (including people who Already Know the thing he's explaining) i'm like HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT? HOW DID YOU DEDUCE THAT? the most egregious examples in this ep being:
1. figuring out kronos is behind everything. it's such a good little mystery in the book to find out who the big baddie is-- not even annebeth knowing who "the crooked one" is referring to, the mysterious presence on the beach, percy catching the word father in zeus and poseidon's conversation-- and it has a genuine sense of ominousness and ancientness and "THIS WOULD BE REALLY FUCKING BAD" that just isn't present at all in the show because he either already knows or those moments doesn't happen
2. figuring out luke's betrayal. i just don't buy that percy would be able to deduce that with the information he has, and while i like luke wanting to convert him in theory, it would've been so much more powerful to have that slowly-dawning dread as luke reveals his plan and tries to appeal to percy as a friend while also sounding more bitter and angry than he ever has before, rather than percy already knowing and expecting it
anyway i think those are all my thoughts! i know i sound like i hated it lmao but i really didn't (this last episode at least), it was a decently fun watch and i'm doing my best to be fair about the things they did right! although those things are almost More frustrating because i can see the flashes of potential that are ultimately drowned out by an overall disappointing experience :/ but i would love to hear other opinions if anyone wants to share! i never wanna take someone else's enjoyment away and i really am so happy for everyone who liked it

Part 4! Of rereading Lore Olympus. Ep 31-40
Gotta be real I keep forgetting to post these even tho I'm reading them but it's fine. Obviously I won't finish before the end of the 2 week break (this Saturday) but after this I may start reviewing episodes as they come out, who knows. Last part:
Ep 31
Theres so many other reasons you shouldnt work together but ok
Also shes literally so smart right like thats canon
Artemis is cool hera,,,sometimes
Which two sons i wish i knew the lo family tree as opposed to the real one yknow
How do heras powers work she felt her pain but doesnt know who??
I would kill for a comprehensive list of family tree and powers, dont even have to spoil powers just please i get so confused
Ep 32
Train ur fuckin dogs hades i think ive said that before
He changed skin color again but like not just light vs dark thats a whole diff shade of blue
Hehe threaten low class workers so cute and quirky hades
Why is uh psyche/whatever her nymph name is wearing more traditional clothes while not in the mortal realm
Love the dog
Hades has a point, even tho it makes no sense for him to have said that
Ok also point out in the like future episode he wants persephone to call him Aidoneus but doesnt like when others do it why
Thats my same thing with him calling her Kore like i know in the future its like explained or whatever but idk
Aphrodite has a point it was a favor in a way
A dumb way but yknow
I remember everyone losing it over the “im only interested in the dead ones” panel but looking at it its so lame LMAO changed his entire face shape for a panel
Ep 33
HECATE HECATE WOOOO
Im but a simple man
Hades texts like an old man i know he is one but
Also i am dying to know how his business works including as the god of the underworld like. Give me something
Then again, maybe i am a lil dumb when it comes to this
I always thought he was giving the little elevator friend a sugarcube lmao
I like how minthes ears react to her emotions
Stop fighting at work omg this would be the worst place to work at
“Hey can u do ur job”
Ep 34
Why this subplot ugh
The crown floats yet is sideways after she hits him
Also haha hitting
Also their relationship does confuse me just a tad bit yknow
All the clues were there hades you dumbass
“Cancel all my meetings” DO YOUR JOB
“This doesnt affect you in the same way” cause hes a man or a king or both but also kings seemed to get treated the same by their subjects until they are dicks and excute their power
From what ive seen
Then again we havent seen poseidon do that but that brings me to the point of I wanna see poseidon realm
thats . so creepy hades ew
“Smth must be done about this” like fair legal action right?....right?
Who reads newspapers these days anyways wait a second
Ep 35
See the laptop having news makes more sense like sure we make newspapers but ppl dont use em as often
“Biochemistry Theory” fun fact I switched majors to specifically avoid taking chemistry
What are they typing he just started speaking
What type of nymph is thetis bc i know minthe is a river nymph but thetis has fancy ears
They are so mean to each other lmao
The financial situation and the fact that they both are like sleeping with the kings confuse me why do both of them do it.
Like retrospectively i understand it but when i first read it i was like “are nymphs supposed to be like hookers??” so i was lost for a bit
“Hades micromanages computer usage” oh what a shit boss
Also the meal ticket she has a job sure hades gave it to her but
Idk maybe im slow
What an awful way to do a heart shape i just tried it wtf
“Crying is for wives” damn
Yes body issues that dont get brought up again right? Like she all of a sudden gets bigger boobs and i dont think hades pays ppl enough for cosmetic surgery
You guys know this is a work setting
Has rachel ever had a job bc this feels like a comical trope seen on tv the workplace drama yknow
LMAO IN THE LAST PANEL RACHEL FORGOT TO GIVE HER NYMPH EARS
Like fully normal ears i know its a mistake but its funny
Ep 36
“Not my circus not my monkeys” queen
Hades is it not your circus how dont involve hecate in this
“Stop starin at me with them big ol eyes”
Oof that does not look good on you, i mean why didnt you give her the coat
“I thought you didnt get jealous” ok she may have said that but literally everything about her contradicts that
And i love this part bc he doesnt call her crazy and they talk, i mean he hides some of the truth which like fuck him, and then they try to talk about the party and
Ugh i know minthe is supposed to be an antagonist but rachel does this weird thing where she tries to flesh her out, then realizes it would be an easy set up for a redemption arc and screws her over again
I know the ppl in the mortal realm are generally frightened of hades but why are ppl in olympus
“I wouldnt expect anything less from a goddess” so we are going to bring in the racism/speciesism that occurs in this story right
Its the middle of the day isnt he supposed to be in the mortal realm moving the sun or some shit
Ep 37
“Last night” Rachel its ok to space things out sweetie
Ok ok so one thing i hate about her characterization of apollo is he goes from being delusional to knowing what he did was at least slightly wrong and i hate both are fine stories but pick one he either is so infatuated with persephone that he thinks that they had a great time or he wants her for her power
And! A transition from one to the other would be fine, but she goes back in forth in his characterization
Little red vines look cool
Hehe cerberus
How did he escape tho
I love that dog
Ep 38
Oh its the greenhouse again
But this time it represents the evil feeling?
Idk but i like eye symbolism im lame lol
Why was she sleeping in the chair
When did she get those clothes i dunno if eros would buy her business casual
Artemis really sees all the signs and then goes “meh”
Like points out the possible crush on persephone just connect the dots they are so close
Why is there not more than one door
Why is no one getting off
How does rachel think train stops work
Ep 39
Also not thatanos with an undercut lmao
Ope its thanatos i mixed it up
Also minthe you just actively arent doing a good job like lmao how are you not getting fired
Hades smoking a cigar is so old and gross tbh
What an awful boss
That man has a point dont stand infront of the door
She gave her a little flower nice
Minthe i know ur being spiteful, weird bc hades explained shes just the daughter of a friend( i know its a lie but still) but just do your job
“It says restricted access but that lady says it was fine” i would just wait until someone came out theres no reason to go inside
Ep 40
Why would they not have a lock on this place actually
Why wouldnt she just leave the way she came
When did hades put on his glasses
How is it hades fault what
So many questions yknow for such a short episode
Also does this place not have security cameras in places that are tartarus

A handful of random potentially unimportant (yet also perhaps?) important details/things from the Reverie (Masterforce) AU!! Mainly Valiance this time around because I'm annoying but hey, I'm open to talk more about Onyx if anyone cares...?
Why, you are maybe asking, am I doing this?? ....Because I can!! ✨
Like and rb for more
///
-gonna start off with a longer one!! Sorry not sorry as you might or might not be aware, the Onyx team functions kinda sorta similarly to the Decepticons from Masterforce in the sense that they are literally a found family. They celebrate things together, eat dinners together, and actually care about the well-being of each other to varying degrees. Buster and Hydra are twins, and the kids of Mega (adopted by Giga when he married Mega) and Cancer joined them when he was found as a small child in the ruins of an explosion during one of their missions. He was taken in and raised as family. The leopard gecko they have, King Poseidon, was found on a different patrol and Cancer was allowed to keep him so he's now like, the family pet.
-when the Onyx team has the time to have a real dinner, Giga and Mega cook it together; on normal nights, Hydra does the cooking.
-(moving to the other group) Satsuki came up with the name "Valiance" for the team ✨ it came from how he saw them in action saving the research center & when he recognized Hawk from an older job at another center; Satsuki was amazed at how they all risked their lives and not a single person was even injured, and resolved it was only the just thing to do for him to contribute what he could to their team to help these efforts.
-Hawk became the leader of Valiance because he is the founding member, Landmine and Waverider were the first to join him, only two months after Hawk went into action. After Satsuki joined, Hawk was officially designated their leader via a vote in which everyone agreed.
-The base is an abandoned center for scientific research; it was the location of one of Hawk's first jobs and he knew about it being left and literally forgotten about, so he utilized it for an HQ; since Satsuki joined, it's been an ongoing project between the two of them to modify and add stuff to the HQ to help their efforts as a team. Also yes, it's located in the same exact place as the Autobot HQ in Masterforce, looks relatively about the same inside and out (im working on what it will specifically look like ok but im not good at landscapes and stuff so most of it is ideas in my head--)
-All three kids are very much into Indie Rock in addition to whatever other genres they individually enjoy
-Cloudburst can fly, but he doesn't often. Why? He just. Doesn't enjoy it.
-Also, he speaks German (he was born in Germany; his family just moved to Japan when he was little because of his dad's job. He goes back and visits often tho)
-O yes i should point out if no one's aware yet but again, keeping in line with the og material, Reverie takes place in Japan and the year is 2020. But like, without the pandemic or anything--
-Landmine is an amazing singer and pianist, but he's never pursued any music-related careers because he wants these things to remain as special recreational activities, with no pressures attached
-He and Waverider have known each other since a precollege program for the same college they both ended up in. They even dated once....keep this last bit in mind because the feelings are not gone :0
-Hawk is the other member of the team who can fly! He also kinda trips on everything all the time? Sometimes over nothing? But never thinks to use that flight ability to save himself from falling flat on his face...
-The kids do have powers actually!! (And so does Satsuki!) The three just don't awaken those powers till much later on (Cab is first, with their ability to speak to animals and understand them)
-So the only one without powers is Landmine.....but he's been to space and stuff? his signature Laser/[other settings] gun is literally a gift from a weapons shop on a planet from a different galaxy sector. Also, he could kick literally anyone's ass as he's the team hand-to-hand combat specialist. So basically he's like Batman because he doesn't need powers to keep up with the rest of the team, really. He's not rich tho, he's a normal dude. He works as a barista at a 24 hr cafe actually, usually on the earliest morning or late night shifts.
-Now you migt be asking why did Landmine go to space as well? He has a complicated past, which explains also why he's ridiculously good at every kind of physical fighting style you could think of. Not at all for the same reasons as Hawk...but without spoiling that, let's just leave it at how things ended up cooling down once he got to around 17, and once he went to college, his life ended up more or less normal...that is until Valiance. Anyway.
-oh yes did I mention that space travel is a canon thing? No? Ok....Space travel is a canon thing. (Like, it's not like a 'mainstream activity' the greater public engages in, but it's possible and totally doable with the right tech and connections. So. That explains the previous point ^)
-Also about space travel, Hawk is the child of two scientists who often went on missions to different galaxies. Hawk was actually born during one of those missions, and spent the first 9-ish years of his life on a long-term space mission. He returned to earth, was taken on two more shorter, year-long missions, before something....very depressing happened to his parents and he ended up living with other relatives in another part of Japan. When he was in his later teen years, he begins his own journey with the sciences, getting internships and then jobs at different research centers. And as previously mentioned in another post, he ends up meeting Shuta's dad at one and the rest is history.
-Ginrai is also a trucker in this universe!
-He joined the team through meeting Hawk and one thing leading to another caused him to accidentally reveal his powers. He wasn't sure why he had them, had known about them since middle school, and always tried to hide them. Anyway, when he and Hawk escape back to the HQ, Ginrai realizes this is a whole thing and after thinking things over in the infirmary, he decides he'd like to join the team.
-He and Hawk fall in love pretty quickly; they weren't "love at first sight" but they did pick up on feelings for one another kinda fast :] So anyway, they're a canon couple in this AU :D
-i think I posted this somewhere already but I'll put it here again: Minerva is linguistically intelligent! She can speak French, English, Japanese, and is studying German with Cloudburst
-some of the team members actually like/don't mind going by their "hero" names for one reason or another instead of their legal names, so everyone uses either name interchangeably. For example, "Russel" or "Waverider," he's fine with either.
-The real teams within Valiance are actually "team tea" and "team coffee" and they argue about which drink is better like their lives depended on it If you want to know who's on what team lmk
-Pretty much everyone on the team is queer 😌✨
-Youd be surprised how many of them have Tumblr accounts--
-Satsuki is the resident undefeated, lord and master of Tetris
-Cab is really into midwest emo and also writing!!
-Ginrai has used his fire powers for so many things not including fighting...like when the team have s'mores parties on the rooftop, or if there's a power outage during the winter and they need to light the fireplace...
-I gave him fire powers for two reasons: 1, It fits his personality, like makes sense for him. Idk how to elaborate on that....& 2, "Fire Guts" attack thing (if you saw Masterforce you know what I'm talking about 👀)
-A bit about how fire powers affect him: he isn't necessarily averse to water, it's more just that he can't spend an extended time in contact with water or it will start to hurt him physically and potentially damage his ability to use his powers. He is also very sensitive to temperature, so for example, winter is really hard to navigate because the cold weather can really hurt him if he's out too long. On the flip side, he could literally be set on fire and it wouldn't do a thing to him, and he can withstand a high level of heat.
-Both Onyx and Valiance have been known to throw actual birthday parties, if the person there celebrating hasn't made it clear they don't want one 👀
-The name of Valiance's groupchat is "IYKYK 😌" (credit for the name goes to Ginrai); the name of the gc the kids started for themselves is "We Know 👁️"
///
So anyways, just a lot of things there ig....I have a lot more where that came from!! So again, if you want more, lmk, I'll compile another list of things/details about Reverie~ 😌💖✨💫💙

Request reader who is Poseidon daughter is like her papa but had more emotions and she has a crush on Thor but is shy to tell him.
HAVE MERCY ON ME WITH THIS ONE😭 some of it may not be accurate...I think I'll make a 2nd part to this tho
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°••°•°•°•°•°
Thor x reader
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•
Having a father who is a sleep-deprived god is troublesome, always irritated and never fun.
Y/n and Poseidon were sitting down and reading their books in nothing but silence, the whole place was quiet. Y/n didn't like it, it was too quiet for her liking.
"Whatever you are thinking, I want you to stop it."
Y/n froze, many scenarios went through her head of what would happen. She placed her book down on her lap, "whatever do you mean father?" She nervously smiled, he was terrifying to talk to even as his daughter.
"You haven't flipped a single page for the last 10 minutes, what is it you are thinking of." Poseidon put his book down and stared at his daughter, he didn't like it that his daughter was distracted.
"It's nothing important." She stood up and turned around, she was close to taking a step before a loud noise made her go stiff. Poseidon was standing up with his trident in his hand.
"If it is not important, then why did you stop reading." He demanded
"I was wondering when I would have my weapon." Y/n lied, telling Poseidon about her crush would create a whole day of arguing or fighting.
"Turn around and face me. I didn't teach you to be a coward." His cold tone was already making her tremble in fear, she turned around and faced him. "Repeat what you just said."
"I was wondering when I would have my weapon." She repeated herself, silently grateful that she didn't stutter.
"When you have completed your training then you'll have your weapon," he replied, feeling thankful for him falling for the lie.
"Now, go get ready. We are expecting guests this afternoon and you will escort them here." He told her and walked away, not bothering to tell her who was coming.
Y/n sighed of relief and immediately booked it out of the room, Poseidon was hard to talk to.
Running through the halls and empty rooms, no one else was in the palace except y/n and Poseidon. That God didn't need anyone else nor help, everything is clean and quiet. No interruptions, no laughing, just silence.
Y/n slowed down and took a breather, running up and down the stairs did do a toll on her stamina. "Hundreds of years... endless blood, sweat and tears AND I still can't run up and down stairs like it's nothing." She laughed, oh how funny it was, being Poseidon's daughter didn't mean she was exactly like him.
Sure! She had his hair and eye colour, but she had more personality than her father. Therefore... Higher expectations were on her, she had to be the best of the best and not the lowest.
Hours pass by and it was time for her to go up to the surface, y/n walked out of the castle and walked up the stone path. The water parted as she walked, as she got closer and closer she could see 4 figures. One was levitating off the ground in a bad posture, the second one...she could only see that they didn't have much hair? The third was quite tall and the fourth one seemed to have good posture.
When she stopped in front of the 3 who were Zeus, Hermes, Loki and Thor.
"My, my! Look at how grown up you look!" Zeus exclaimed, excited about seeing his niece. Y/n wanted to smile...but she couldn't, it would break her reputation as Poseidon's daughter. After all, a God does not falter.
"I will be escorting you to the palace, please follow me." Y/n politely said then turned around, Zeus happy-go-lucky-ass ran ahead of her and was out of sight in seconds. Y/n closed her eyes, she was supposed to have them ALL arrive at the same time!
She sighed and opened her eyes, she was greeted with a purple one. Y/n stumbled back and bumped into someone, "you can quit the act now~" Loki smiled, y/n whipped herself around and saw Hermes behind her smiling.
"I do agree with him," Hermes said, y/n was blushing from the embarrassment, Loki was an inch away from her face and she had bumped into Hermes.
"We should get going now, father doesn't like waiting long." She nervously smiled, she was going to get scolded later for that. She walked past Loki and continued to walk down, it got darker as they went deeper and deeper into the ocean. Loki accidentally flew into the water once it got darker and now he was soaked, everyone had stopped when they heard Loki yell.
"Why is it so dark down here?! How do you even see where you're walking!" He exclaimed, he slowly landed on the ground and reached for y/n and grabbed her hand. "I don't feel like walking into it again! So, I'm gonna hold your hand!" He shivered, the water was cold and he was wearing skin ass tight clothes.
Y/n smiled at the trickster's childish behaviour, "you still haven't answered my question!" Loki whined, already starting to feel uncomfortable by the way his clothes felt.
"I can see where everything is and I also live down here." She answered, she tried to keep everything short and she was 3 minutes late already!
When the castle came into view and see Zeus's figure waving at them and Poseidon was standing there with his trident. Y/n let go of Loki's hand and walked faster, the 3 doing the same.
Y/n stopped in front of Poseidon, "it shouldn't have taken you that long." His harsh tone made y/n clench her jaw, "I'll make sure it doesn't happen again, father." She quietly spoke. Poseidon didn't seem satisfied with her answer but decided to let it be, now he had to entertain his brother.
"Y/n, do you mind taking the others and show them around?" Zeus asked, y/n nodded her head and made a hand motion to follow her. The 3 followed her to the other side of the palace and went to the library, the first thing she did was flop onto the couch. "Question! Why are we in a library?" Loki asked as looked at the endless shelf of books, "would you want to sit in a room and stare at random fish? Cause I don't. " Y/n voice was muffled by the pillow.
Hermes was already on the second floor looking for a book, while Thor took a seat on another couch. Y/n quickly sat up on the couch when thor passed her, Loki sat beside y/n and brought his knees to his chest.
"what do you even do while you're here?"
"Train, sleep, cook, read...that's it," Y/n replied, Loki stared at her like she was some monster. "That's all? That is one boring life I say." He joked
"Y/n, do you have any books on deserts?" Hermes said out loud, this caught Loki's attention. He stared at y/n and decided to ask her, "are you allowed to bake here?" He asked, y/n turned to him and raised her eyebrow. "What kind of question is that? Of course, as long as I pick up my mess and make something for father." She happily said, she ran up the stairs to where Hermes.
She scanned the shelf and saw the book....classic, it was on a higher shelf. Y/n turned to Hermes and nervously smiled, "c-can you help me get the book?" She stuttered. Asking for help was something she has never done, rejection is what is holding her back from doing so.
Hermes reached for the book and gave it to her, y/n thanked him and ran back down, she took her seat beside Loki and opened the book. Loki was way too close in Thor's opinion, the trickster knew what he was doing and kept doing it to anger Thor.
And it worked.
Extra!!
"Loki..."
Loki turned to the side, "what?" He asked.
"I forgot to tell you that you have a piece of seaweed in your hair." Y/n pointed at the seaweed that blended quite well in Loki's hair.
"There is a WHAT IN MY HAIR!!"
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
I just had to add Hermes and Loki😗
Hope ya liked it

SO rememeber this picrew of the gang? Well, I've seen many people doing it with Cronus's children ( you know who ) but as much as I like this picrew and the artist's style, I don't think those six look very good in it. So I found this one and decided to try and make more or less how they look in my story like the last one !
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think it's pretty clear who is who, but in case you're not sure: Hades · Hestia · Poseidon · Demeter · Hera · Zeus
Now, explanation time, wuh !
Hades:
The oldest of them ! He has a friendly look, am I right? HAH—
Lately, I've been reading how ghosts were portrayed in Ancient Greece, and for my surprise, it wasn't such a big deal. Either they were extremelly pale to a point of looking like a living corpse ( wich makes sense ) or they looked literally like a shadow ( wich also makes sense ). So here you go, Hades looks like a living corpse and wears everything black, pretty obvious to notice he rules the Underworld and never comes out. Not in full-body at least. He's the one who resembles Rhea the most out of the six.
Hestia:
The oldest of the girls !
She was born with a more humanoid-like appearance like the rest, but while growing up, she started becoming more and more like fire with human form. Yes, she is literally made of fire, albe to show only the face and the chest without flames. No, she isn't wearing any clothing, how could she if she's literally walking fire? Her eyes are grey, kind of resembling ashes.
Poseidon:
The tallest of the boys !
His hair was originally blonde, but like Hestia, he changed while he was growing until he took this appearance. He was born with the fish scales tho, they just were more similar to the skin color. Behind the necklace he has gills, wich he hides when coming out of the sea.
Demeter:
The tallest of the girls !
I wanted to make her resemble nature as much as possible and I think I was more or less able to get her to look that way. Would probably wear more accesories tho, but not golden, like flowers or similar. Wears a lot of green? OF COURSE she does.
Hera:
The youngest of the girls !
Maybe due to my obsession of making her resemble Ares the most is the main reason I made her look like this, I can't imagine Ares without any warm color, so his mom has a similar hair color to him. She has freckles and as you can see, she's the one who uses more accesories. Graceful like the queen she is, but still has that inmature side she always had.
Zeus:
And here's the youngest of the boys !
He's the one who resembles Cronus the most, but the straight hair is more of Rhea than him, who had it like Demeter and Hera. A big scar between the eyes, from when Cronus tried to hurt him with his sickle. Of course, has the most noticeable beard, I've been portraying him like this since I was young and I just can't make him without it.
BONUS: Persephone !
Tumblr media
Unlike Dionysus, she hides her horns with her hair, that is long enough to float and make it look like a veil.
She isn't as old as the other six, but is definetly older than the main gang, specially since her own son is there.

Can I request a Leo Valdez imagine pls? Just something fluffy and cute, where he likes you and you like him but you're both too stubborn and clueless to admit to your feelings so you just kinda joke and flirt, nothing serious, meanwhile everyone is like 'omg just kiss already!!'
Thank you <3
Catch the flag.
in which you and Leo like each other, and during a catch the flag game, he gets hurt and you almost end Clarisse 😳
word count: 1420~
trigger warnings: none?? slight angst i guess, happy ending tho
for plot reasons, the reader is one of Persephone’s children (so cabin 40)
im in such a Leo mood lately send help my way ! ✌🏼😔 this is probably not what you wanted BUT i got carried away and i couldn’t stop myself from the angst with happy ending. i hope you like it babes 💙
Catch the flag was everyone’s favorite activity at Camp. You, Annie and Percy had been put on the same team, and your best friend, Leo, was on the other.
You looked at him, your arrow pointing to his chest as Annabeth jumped from the tree you both were hiding on.
“Is this all you’ve got, cielo?”.
Annabeth almost threw up when Leo called you by that petname, tired of this constant flirting you both had going on, but none of you seemed to notice.
It was not a secret for anyone, that you and the boy liked each other.
You, however, ignored his question. Your eyes searched for the flag around the brunette, who Percy had guessed would be around it, because of his fire abilities. If anyone could defend that flag, it had to be Leo. Also, he was way too noisy and giggly to try to make it to your team’s flag without being caught.
“Not here, if that’s what you’re here for”.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Valdez, I just wanted to see that pretty face of yours”, you replied, putting down your bow when Annabeth shook her head.
Leo chuckled, hands intertwined behind his head, and you rolled your eyes at him. But before you could turn around, you felt the pointy end of a sword against your lower back. Your eyes searched for Annabeth, and behind her, Clarisse held another sword.
“See? Told you little Y/n would come to Valdez. Jackson must be behind this, he knows we wouldn’t send Leo to get their flag”, she spoke, and Leo gasped, offended, “But I have an idea to find it”.
Clarisse kicked Annabeth’s leg, and when her knees hit the floor, you turned around, pointing your arrow at her.
“What are you doing, La Rue?”.
She ignored your question, her teammate, an Hermes daughter, looking as confused as you were.
Clarisse always took these activities too seriously, and you feared that she’d harm Annabeth to win, knowing Percy would come to find her.
“Valdez, the flag, is it safe?”, she ignored you, as her sword remained against the blonde’s back.
“Yeah— Yes, of course it is. And only I know where”.
The girl nodded, and she looked at the sky, like watching time pass. Her teammates were looking for the flag, and she had a new strategy to force your team to leave it unprotected.
Leo gave you a look, your bow still up, and you looked back at him, pouting slightly.
He shook his head, and you frowned, pouting again.
You didn’t need to speak to communicate with him, and something inside of his chest warmed at your soft face. He felt the urge to tell you were the flag was, but he knew better than to fuck up Clarisse’s plan.
“Annabeth, Y/n!”, Percy’s voice broke the silence, the dark haired boy followed by Ellis Wakefield, son of Ares.
You could swear Leo looked happy to see him near the flag and you two, even though it meant his team could lose.
“We have the whole team here, look at that!”, Clarisse said, her comment being a hidden attack to the rest of your teammates, “You’re so predictable, Jackson. You don’t see these two for more than two minutes and you forget about your mission… nothing new on you, though”.
Annabeth gave you a look, her eyebrows furrowed, and you turned to look at the son of Poseidon, his expression tense. Clarisse always knew how to piss him off.
“Ellis, find the flag, it’s near. Leo’s face says it all”.
You smiled at Percy, and he gave you a small grin, even though his eyes went back to his girlfriend a second later.
The daughter of Ares smirked, enjoying the fact that she knew how to find all of Percy’s buttons. She twisted a finger around a strand of Annabeth’s hair, yawning.
“It’s exhausting, Jackson, to see you fail at being a leader every single time”.
Leo frowned at her words, stepping closer to you, and you did the same, noticing how tense the situation was getting.
“Can’t even lead your girl to a damn fla—”.
Before Clarisse could finish her sentence, Percy had thrown himself against her, his very limited patience being finally over. Annabeth got up, and tried to pull him away from the girl, but they were throwing punches at each other like their lives depended on it.
“Perce, stop! That’s what she wants!”, you yelled, throwing your bow to a side and beginning to move towards them.
A hand grabbed your wrist, pulling you back, and Leo run to the fight, grabbing the blue eyed boy’s arm, pulling him from Clarisse, not without receiving the last punch and falling to the floor.
“Leo!”, your voice overlapped the girl’s and your friend’s arguing, as you dropped on the floor next to the curly haired boy.
His nose was dripping blood, and you looked at him with worry, before you felt your own start to boil under your skin.
You looked at Clarisse from the floor, the girl laughing at you two, and you got up, arms raising as you did.
You had an ability not all Persephone children had: geokinesis. Under the girl’s feet, the ground opened and closed again, trapping her from waist down.
Clarisse looked at you with anger, which soon turned into slight fear as the ground kept closing around her, squishing her a little at first, then starting to hurt.
But you didn’t care, she had hurt Leo. She had hurt him, right in front of your eyes.
“Y/n that’s enough!”, Annabeth’s voice filled your ears, but you ignored her, anger taking over you.
Clarisse let out a pained groan, as she tried to escape and free herself, but the more she moved, the tighter the ground trapped her.
“Hey, hey!”.
Something inside of you clicked at the sound of Leo’s voice, and the boy put his hand on your cheek, standing now between you and the Ares daughter.
“Y/n, let go of her. You’re hurting her, mi amor, come on”.
There was softness in his voice, and your arms dropped to your sides, a frown appearing in your face as you realised what you had done.
However, before you could apologise, Clarisse had already run away, followed by her brother and the Hermes child. Percy was a few meters away, checking on Annabeth, both of them looking at you with worry, but nodding at Leo and walking away to give you some space.
You groaned, shaking your head, and your eyes met Leo’s. He was still cupping your face, a worried expression on his face.
“Damn, mi amor… That was dark”, he gave you a small smile, whipping the blood from his upper lip with the back of his free hand.
“I— uh. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt her, just—“, you struggled to explain it, “She hurt you”.
Leo was nothing but shocked when you said that, and his eyes filled with softness, as he run his thumb over your cheekbone.
“Thank you for defending my honor, cielo… But I am alright, really”.
You nodded slowly, your eyes going from his to his lips in just a second, the proximity of his body to yours, and the situation just lived making your heart beat faster than anytime before.
The brunette looked at your lips too, meeting your eyes once again, but leaning closer this time, and you started to close your eyes, your hands moving to the back of his head.
His breathing caressed your lips, and you got on your tiptoes…
“Y/n, Annabeth! Percy! We have it, we found the fla—“, Kayla Knowles’ voice interrupted you, the flag in her hand.
You pulled away from Leo, both of you nervously clearing your throats, and the daughter of Apollo gasped, her eyes then fixing on the couple behind you and Leo.
Annabeth rolled her eyes, and Percy groaned, annoyed.
“Shit, Kayla, we’ve been waiting for this moment for months!”, he complained.
You laughed at his comment, and Leo scratched the back of his head nervously, turning around to leave.
“Where do you think you’re going, Valdez?”, this time it was Annabeth, and Leo grabbed your hand, starting to run away, “Come back here you two! I’ve waited enough already!”.
She seemed pissed off for real, Perce’s laughter muting her scolding. But with your hand in Leo’s, running through the forest, Annie’s anger was the last of your thoughts.

Delphinus (1/?)
howdy y’all. I wrote this chapter of garbo instead of doing my university work. didn’t exactly like how it came out/where it went so it might be going in the “dead idea; don’t continue” pile unless people like it enough. so like it or i pull out the glock.
warnings: none? unless angst triggers you (promise it wont be the whole story tho)
This was it. This was where you died.
As you lie in a back alley in a pool of your own blood, you stared up at the night sky. Remembering all of the memories you made under this same Egyptian sky, you couldn’t help but find your comrades in the stars.
You would’ve giggled thinking about Iggy on his hind legs, begging for coffee gum, as Lupus, if you could move a muscle. The tales of Ophiuchus, the man holding the snake, reminded you of Joseph and his Hermit Purple. You thought of Auriga, and its translation to “charioteer”, which made you sigh a little deeper than your body would’ve wanted. Wincing, you thought of Aquila, the eagle, and visioned it to be Magician’s Red. You spotted Orion’s belt, and remembered what Kakyoin had told you about the brightest constellation in the sky.
“Since it’s located on the celestial equator, Orion can be seen throughout the world. Neat, right, (Y/N)?”
You wouldn’t dare forget Delphinus. It brought as much of a smile as you could handle to your face, faintly recalling the ever so subtle change in Jotaro’s face when you had mentioned that there was a dolphin constellation.
Previously uninterested, Jotaro had his interest piqued, and was staring at you now as you described the tale of the constellation Delphinus.
“According to Greek mythology, Delphinus the dolphin was Poseidon’s messenger to a nymph he wanted to marry. Delphinus was the only one to get the nymph to accept, so Poseidon memorialized him among the stars. It’s my favorite constellation!”
Jotaro hummed in acknowledgement, shifting against the desert rock you two had settled by as to not disturb the other sleeping Crusaders, Taking the last huff of his cigarette, he snuffed it out on the ground. Looking back to you, he couldn’t help but gaze at your awed face. You had been shocked to see that all the stars were visible in the desert, where there was no light pollution. He could see you imprinting them all to memory as you smiled brightly.
Little did you know, you were his favorite star.
As you looked back at him, you noted the small crack in his normally stoic facade, and that was the miniscule curve upwards of his lips. You wrote it off as simply his interest in marine life, as you gathered from his choice of leisure reading.
You still committed the image to memory, just like the stars you loved.
You were harshly brought back to reality as you spit up blood, coughing wildly even though it hurt to move. Your stand, Seven Wonders, lay parallel to you, slowly dimming in visibility as your mental fortitude began to diminish. You fondly remembered how you named it.
“If I live to see the...Seven Wonders...I’ll make a path to the rainbow’s end..” you sung to yourself, washing the dishes and having your stand dry them after a long night of cooking for one. The radio was on the counter a bit ways away from the both of you, playing Seven Wonders by Fleetwood Mac, one of the chart hits from the summer of ‘87. As you looked over to the unnamed prismatic being by your side, you decided that it was time to give it a name.
Your eyelids felt heavier and heavier, coercing you to close them, but you knew what that would entail. As you struggled to keep your eyes open, you blurrily made out the figure of a woman in white. She seemed to have her head wrapped in a white scarf, and the rest of her attire consisted of a modest wrap-around white dress. She appeared to be walking closer, in slow motion. 
Perhaps the most clear minded thought you had in the past few minutes was that God was a woman, she was Muslim, and that those two things made a lot of sense. You could faintly hear her calling out to you, but you couldn’t discern what it was that she was saying. You supposed that this was the end, and finally allowed your eyes to close.
What you didn’t expect was to wake up.
On someone’s couch.
Was that a Cabbage Patch doll? It was kinda creepy.
No, bad. Focus.
You deduced that you were in someone’s home, most likely still in Cairo, judging by the buildings in the window you were facing. You were clearly bandaged, as your chest was constricted by some sort of binding, as well as your legs. Your left arm was against your chest in some sort of makeshift sling. As you tried to call out for whoever it was that was clearly taking care of you, your throat decided otherwise. You were thrown into a coughing fit, clearly from disuse. In doing so, you accomplished your goal anyways, as your coughs seemed to alert whoever was in the rest of the apartment? House?
You heard the patter of light steps coming near you, but what you hadn’t expected was big, curious, brown eyes staring into yours. A child.
Who barraged you with more questions than you could answer yourself.
“You’re awake! Finally! It’s been days! What’s your name? Where did you come from? How did you get hurt? Are you an American? Umi told me stories of America!”
All you could do was give an exasperated sigh, and point to your throat, while dryly saying, “W..ate..r..” 
The little girl seemed to get what you were saying, and you could almost visibly see the exclamation mark above her head.
“Oh, do you want water? I can get you water!” she said, about to run off, before she walked into something soft with an “oof!”, looking up to see her mother with a glass of water.
“Umi, the foreigner is awake! Can they play with me ye-” her mother cut her off by giving her a delicate command in a language you didn’t recognize, and the little girl pouted before going somewhere out of your current range of vision. The older lady held the glass of water to your lips, and you gratefully gulped it down like it was ambrosia. 
A thick, but calming, accented voice broke the silence. “What is your name, habibi?” the woman asked softly, sitting cross-legged by your face to meet it. You gave her your name, and she nodded before giving you a once-over, making sure blood hadn’t peaked through the new bandages she had given you earlier in the day,
“What happened to you? If you don’t remember, do not strain yourself.” she assured you, but you were just trying to come up with a story that didn’t involve vampires or strange manifestations of mental strength.
“I...got into an accident. Dragged myself into the alley.” you offered, though you weren’t confident that she bought the excuse. “My friends...Has anyone been looking for me? I came with a group..” you asked, looking around to see if any sign of them was present.
The look on the woman’s face told you what you needed to know.
“Do you have anyone I can call? A parent or guardian?” she asked, looking at you with such pity that made you almost angry.
“No. I have no family.” you answered bitterly, holding back your tongue as you regretted using such a sharp tone with someone who helped you out of the goodness of their heart.
“That is alright. You are more than welcome to stay with me and Jamila.”

Death Petals
Tw & Cw// constant mentions of the hanahaki disease, throwing up, nose bleeds, blood, suicidal thoughts and suicide. Skip if you don’t like it or if it disturbs you. Block DON’T report. You’ve been warned read at your OWN risk
(If you don’t know what’s the hanahaki disease there’ll be an explanation at the end.)
Nico’s body shook with effort every time he threw up into the small trash can. His hands were shaking, and he felt as if hammers were pounding his head. Jason sat by his side, rubbing circles on his back as he tried his best to comfort the other boy. Nico thought he was over Percy, but he was wrong. Ever since their encounter with Cupid last July, he’d fallen harder for the son of Poseidon. And not long after the second giant war, he got the hanahaki disease, and his condition has been getting worse by the day. Nico coughed, and petals covered with blood escaped his mouth, falling into the trash can where the other petals lay. “F-Fuck.” Nico stuttered, tears brimming his eyes, “It’s okay Nico.” Jason whispered as he patted Nico’s shoulder, “We’ll figure something out.” “No J-Jason. It’s over. The only w-way to cure the disease is by-“Nico’s voice cracked, “By Percy liking me back, which will never happen. He already has Annabeth, and I- I don’t want to ruin what they have.” “We’ll find another way. There has to be another way.” Jason insisted, Nico coughed, more petals falling in the trash can. His nose started heavily bleeding and Jason passed him the box of tissues. Nico took a fistful of tissues and pressed them to his bleeding nose, in hope to stop the bleeding. “Jason, both you and I know there’s no other way to cure this stupid disease. It’s fatal, and it’s only a matter of time before it kills me.” Jason opened his mouth to say something, but a knock on the door stopped him. He got to his feet, leaving Nico sitting alone on the floor. Nico couldn’t see who the person at the door was, but he recognized their voice. “Hey Jason.” Said Percy, and Nico fought back a cough, his lungs throbbing, Jason glanced at Nico, “Hi Perce, what’s up?” “Is Nico in there?” Nico coughed petals and blood onto his hands, “Yeah but he’s- he’s sick.” “Oh, I was hoping that he can train with me, but if he’s sick I’ll come around later.” “Alright.” “Tell our little Nico I said hi.” “Sure man.” Jason closed the door and looked at Nico, who was sobbing, his head resting on the wall behind him. “Nico...” “J-Just leave me a-alone.” Nico said between sobs, Jason walked back to him, and crouched beside him, “You need company Nico, I can’t-“ Nico suddenly lurched forward, coughing hard into the trash can. With one last cough, he threw up, and what he saw terrified him. A flower stained with blood sat at the bottom of the trash can. He was having trouble breathing as more flowers grew in his lungs. Jason’s eyes widened when he saw what laid in the trash can now, “Nico-“ “Go.” Nico said, “Nico please-“ “GO!” Jason sighed, and got to his feet. “I’m in my cabin if you need anything.” Nico hastily nodded, and Jason left. The son of Hades tried to take in a deep breath, but that only lead to him coughing more petals and blood. Nico hated it so much. He hated everything so much. He wanted to scream. Love was supposed to bring someone happiness, not pain. End it, What? Kill yourself, it would be less painful, No Do it, it’s better than suffering from the disease and having a slow death full of pain, Stop You know I’m right You’re not, stop it Jump off a cliff As much as he wanted the pain to stop, killing himself didn’t seem like a good option. But it’s better than the death that awaits you Nico sighed, No one would notice ...Jason would You think he cares? He doesn’t Shut up No one will know They’ll find the body After it’s too late I don’t know Would you prefer slowly suffocating to your death? …. I’ll do it
That night, Nico shadow traveled to a cliff that overlooked the ocean. The view was beautiful, but he didn’t think much about it. He had a job to finish here. Nico looked down and saw rocks at the bottom of the cliff. Perfect, Nico coughed up petals stained with blood, and his nose started bleeding. He straightened and wiped his nose with the back of his hand. His head started throbbing and a branch grew out of his wrist. Nico took another step, closer to the edge, and looked up at the sky, “I’m sorry.” He whispered, tears streaming down his face. Nico turned around so that his back was to the ocean and closed his eyes. He stepped back, and then he was falling, a smile set on his face, his arms stretched in front of him as he fell backwards to his death. It felt like he was falling in slow motion, but soon, he hit the ocean, cold and pain engulfing him. Nico let himself sink, staring up at the moon light through the murky water. He started blacking out, smiling as his life slipped away. I’m free
(To the ppl who don’t know what the hanahaki disease is, it’s basically a disease a person gets when they like someone, but the love is one sided. Flowers start growing in their lungs, slowly suffocating them. They constantly have headaches, cough up petals, throw up blood, lose their appetite, have nose bleeds and branches start growing from their body. The only way to cure it is for the other person to return their feelings and the flowers will disappear. Or they can just have a surgery and get the flowers removed from their lungs, but they’d lose feelings. I didn’t include the surgery part in the one-shot bcz ~demigods~. It’s not real tho, so dw you’re good :D)

Finding Atlantis (part 14)
Genre: Action/Adventure, Enemies to Lovers, PirateAU
Description:  20 years ago the seas became angry. Unruly and unkind to any sailor, to  any ship that dared venture too far out in her waters. Many a man has  heard the tales of Atlantis, the lost city, the key the ocean. But fewer  men know the tale of it’s missing child. The key to the ocean, the key  to Atlantis but a lost little one. The power one would hold should they  find this child would be nearly that of Poseidon himself. Thus, the hunt  began.

Tumblr media
There are certain experiences you’ve lived through enough times to consider yourself a pro at handling. Situations like being handcuffed to a bed. Like being left on an island with no food or water. Like having to fight your way out of a bar when someone is getting too rough with the other patrons.
Drowning is quickly becoming a situation with which you are getting too closely acquainted.
When the ocean swallowed your little dinghy, your life flashed before your very eyes. This was truly the end. The last thing you would ever live through would be the song of Atlantis tickling your ears, the sight of Junmyeon glowing blue, and the feeling of Baekhyun’s skin beneath your palm.
All in all it wasn’t the worst way to go, but there was still so much more that you wanted to experience.
You’d never gotten a chance to return home, to sit at that cliff where you sent off your mother’s body and tell her about all of the things you’d done with your life. To describe to her the ship you’d bought, the friends you’d made, the adventures you’d gone on and the memories you’d made. You wanted to go find Victoria again and thank her for taking you in.
You wanted to find that boy that saved your life when you were but a child and to thank him properly. You wanted to tell him all that you’d done and repay him for giving you that chance at life. You wonder if he’s grown up into a handsome man now. If he has a spouse and kids and a happy home on that island you once called home that you left as soon as you could. You wonder if he’d even remember you.
You’d never gotten a chance to get the Storm Chaser those new upgrades that you’d been saving up for. An extension to the crew cabins, sturdier masts, a new set of sails.
You hadn’t gotten the chance to fall in love, to have your heartbroken, to have a baby or even hold one for that matter. Would you have made a good mother? Would you have made a decent wife? Would you have been able to find someone willing to spend the rest of their life with you, on the seas, on land, wherever your hearts could make a home?
Would you have tried to make a home with Baekhyun?
The feeling of being sucked down into the depths of the ocean doesn’t get any less terrifying the second time that you go through it.
As a matter of fact, having it happen again is more terrifying than the first time. Maybe it’s because you can actually feel the pressure of the water crushing your chest. You can feel the way you’re being sucked farther down and the way the water rushes into your nose from the shock of being suddenly dragged under.
It’s nothing like the storm, nothing like fighting the waves and catching the flashes of light as you fought to climb to the surface. Of being tossed around and dropping and rising hundreds of feet seconds at a time. At least then you had a purpose. You aren’t trying to save a life this time. You aren’t able to fight the invisible force dragging you farther and farther down into the water. The water around you is calm, the movement of your body whizzing through the water feels scarily misplaced.
Magical. Unnatural.
Then it all finally stops.
The force pulls you into a pocket of air and gravity takes you by force. Your body collapses on solid ground, and you can breathe. You gasp frantically for air and cough violently as you attempt to catch your breath and your bearings.
You sit up and position yourself on shaky hands and knees as you heave on the dark basalt beneath your splayed fingers.
It takes a few moments of panicked breathing to realize –you’re alive.
You’re alive.
You realize that you’re alive and then you regain enough brain power to panic over if Junmyeon and Baekhyun are also alive. You hear dramatic coughing and hurling to your left and when you investigate you find Baekhyun on his ass with his head between his knees as his spits out salt water.
He looks like a miserable wet dog. You would laugh if you weren’t sure that you look the same.
But where is Junmyeon?
You look left and right, in front of you and behind you but you see no trace of him. No sign of him in the underwater cave you’ve somehow found yourself.
“How did we even get in here?” you spit more salt water on the ground and look for your area of entry. Down. It felt like you fell down. So maybe there is something above.
A gasp gets caught in your throat at the sight above you. Open water somehow suspended above. If you weren’t nearly positive that you somehow fell from there, you would think there was some extremely strong glass blocking the water from falling through the hole above. You can see the glow of deep sea fish swimming by and you’re hit with just how far below the surface you are.
Dizziness pounds through your skull and you hurl out more water all over your hands.
Disgusting.
“Are you guys alright?”
You lift your head at the sound of Junmyeon’s voice and feel your remaining strength seeping from your bones. He looks between you and Baekhyun’s pathetic forms with distressed eyes.
Baekhyun looks up from between his legs with an incredulous open-mouthed frown. He looks your first mate from his toes to his head. “How the hell are you dry?”
It’s then that you notice he looks remarkably put together. As if he never even experienced the sensation of being pulled straight towards hell through water. The patterns on his skin have dulled down to a pale blue, but they are still there as clear as day.
“An Atlantian thing,” Junmyeon answers with a shrug and a smile. He reaches out a hand to help you to your feet but you wave him away with a shake of your head.
“No, give me a second. I just- I need,” you point to the hole above, “This is just-” you close your eyes and wave him away weakly. “Fuck, I need some time.”
He laughs lightly and chooses to help Baekhyun up while you gather your wits. This is overwhelming. “Did you just materialize down here what the fuck?”
“No, I came down in a bubble.”
“A…bubble.”
“Yeah you know one of those things filled with air-”
“You couldn’t lend us one of those bubbles?!”
“I didn’t know how. I don’t even know how I got it around me. Must be an Atlantian-”
“If you say ‘Atlantian thing’ one more time I will, and I swear to Poseidon, strangle you with my bare hands right here.”
“…Atlantian thing,” Junmyeon finishes cheekily. Baekhyun groans loudly and you can hear the weak thumps of him trying to smack your first mate and being deflected.
You struggle onto your feet as Junmyeon and Baekhyun argue. Typical back and forth between the two of them, you know Baekhyun is all talk when it comes to most people; he won’t hurt Junmyeon.
Letting your eyes fully wander the cave, you take in the shiny crystals in the rock around you and the way everything glows a tranquil light blue.
You hear the thundering footsteps before you see the people coming charging towards you out of the alcove hidden from your view.
“INTRUDERS, DROP TO THE GROUND NOW!”
“We just got up,” Baekhyun whines at your side. You lower your still shaking body back down to your knees and hold your hands up in the air to show your willingness to cooperate. In the corner of your eye you catch Junmyeon landing a swift kick to the back of Baekhyun’s legs with his good leg and sending him to the ground with a painful crash.
You flinch at the noise and the people in matching outfits in front of you hold out their swords, ready to strike at any moment. Once Junmyeon has lowered himself to his knees, the group of people break apart to make way for who you assume must be the leader. If the aura of dominance and the extra sparking pink embellishments on their otherwise plain white uniform is anything to go by.
“Who are you and what are you doing here?” The man asks gruffly. He’s tall, handsome, big eyes rimmed in dark black kohl. His analyzing brown eyes drag from you, to Baekhyun, and finally land on Junmyeon. You catch the exact moment that recognition crosses his face.
His eyes widen and he blinks rapidly in disbelief, the sword in his hand clatters to the ground and resounds through the cave. “S-Suho? Prince Suho is that you?”
You turn to look at Junmyeon who has locked eyes with the leader with a look of confusion on his face.
“Do they know each other?” Baekhyun whispers to you.
“Shut up,” you hiss.
Junmyeon gasps and climbs to his feet. “Minho? Minho! I can’t believe it,” he says elatedly. The two of them run (Junmyeon more hobbling than running with the shitty cast still on his leg) into each other’s arms to embrace and you watch with a kind of fond sadness as they grip one another as if the other will vanish into thin air.
The other guards slowly lower their swords and break out into disbelieving whispers. Baekhyun grabs your left hand and lowers it to your lap. “I think you can lower your hands now prisoner. I don’t think they’re going to kill us yet.”
“It’s as if nothing in this world is enough to keep you from annoying the absolute hell out of me,” you grumble.
He beams, a wide and happy smile. “It’s my charm.”
You snort out a laugh while he stands up on both feet and holds out a hand for you to take to get up. You slap your hand in his and let him heft you to your feet.
Junmyeon calls out your name and you whip in his direction in alarm. He drags over the leader of the guard with a hand on his bicep and matching grins on their faces. “I want you to meet my childhood friend Minho!” He looks up at Minho with eyes beaming with happiness. “We grew up together, and Minho here is the Captain of the entire Atlantian military.”
Minho looks down at the ground bashfully.
“It is an honor to meet you. Junmyeon says that he wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you. I, as well as all of our people owe you our highest form of gratitude,” Minho says with a deep bow.
You blink at the gesture, stupefied into immobility. Junmyeon gives you a pointed look and a subtle bow of his own to hint that you should bow back. You quickly bend at the waist and rise up. “It’s- Uhm, thank you. It wasn’t just me though, there are lots of people to thank for his return up on the surface,” you say with a nervous smile.
Minho laughs. “I’m sure. You can all amaze us with tales of your time above at breakfast in a few hours. I’m sure you would all like a moment to settle and…” he looks at Baekhyun and your soaked clothing. “…clean yourselves up.”
The two of you frown indignantly.
As if you planned on showing up soaking wet.
Minho whistles loudly and a smaller man comes scrambling out of the group of guards. “Hendery, show our two outsiders where they can rest. I will take the prince directly to the Queen.”
The smaller man nods vigorously. “Yes sir. I would like to have Xiaojun assist me, if I can.”
“Take who you need,” Minho gives you both another once over before leaning down to whisper, “Make sure there is plenty of soap in their bathrooms.”
You squawk in embarrassment. Junmyeon offers an apologetic smile before coming to place both of his hands on your shoulders and lowering his voice to talk to you and Baekhyun as privately as he can. “Just follow them and relax. I will come find you once I am finished talking to the Queen. They won’t do anything to hurt either of you.” He squeezes your shoulder. “I’ll make sure of it.”
You nod in affirmation. Baekhyun grunts at your side.
Hendery and another young guard lead you away and out of the cave. You are only allowed one final look over your shoulder before Junmyeon vanishes from your sight.
The bleakness of the cave gives way to a wide low hallway covered from top to bottom in blue crystals, or maybe it’s glass.
“You’re awfully quiet,” you murmur to the man at your side. Neither of the guards bother to turn around at the sound of your voice.
“I’m trying to take it all in. This is insane I never thought I would ever actually see this place,” Baekhyun whispers back. You’re shocked by the genuine way he explains himself. “Why? Do you already miss the sound of my voice? I can keep talking if you want.”
“I’ll pass. I already miss the silence.”
His giggle resonates against the walls. You bite down on your lip to keep from smiling in return.
Your group reaches the end of the tunnel and the guards suddenly stop. Hendery turns around first. “Because we are unable to trust you we will have to transport you while keeping our city and location a secret.”
“Huh?”
“I think we’re going to get blindfolded,” Baekhyun whispers to you.
The other guard reaches into his coat and produces two pieces of cloth while Hendery slams a fist on the wall. A hole opens up where seamless wall once stood. You watch dumbly as the other guard, Xiao…Xiao something sits in the human-sized hole and then lies on his back before disappearing through a tube.
What the fuck is this place?
You’re blindfolded first and led to the hole. “Sit.” So you do. What kind of transport requires you to sit in a hole blind? You’ve lived a couple of years now and that's long enough to know that this doesn’t feel quite safe.
Before you can argue your way out of it, you’re pushed and then careening through space. With your eyes covered and the jolt of bewilderment at sliding too fast to be humanly possible you don’t have any choice but to let out a scream.
You’re on your feet again before you know it –albeit dizzy and shaking. The blindfold is removed and you’re met with the impassive face of the guard. You look around yourself to figure out what in the deep sea hell you just slid through.
“You might want to get out right about now,” he suggests.
You hear the telltale sound of Baekhyun’s yelling and cursing getting closer by the second, so you hobble out of the exit compartment and watch in wonder as the top of the compartment opens up and air blasts from the bottom to decrease the force of gravity as Baekhyun drops to his feet.
He’s shaking like a log and his wet hair and clothes are even more disheveled than they were before.
Maybe it’s the overload of being exposed to all the new technology and scenery, but you can’t stop yourself from loudly laughing at his appearance.
Xiaoxi…Xiaode…Xiaojun, that sounds right-
Xiaojun walks forward with a smile twitching on his lips to remove the blindfold from the once one-eyed troublemaker. But, Baekhyun has his eyes squeezed closed, refusing to open them. You take it upon yourself to physically pull him out of his spot.
“It’s over, you’re on solid ground now,” you tease. He peaks open one eye and it darts around distrustfully before he opens them both and leans forward with his hands on his knees to let out a dramatic exhale of breath. Another humored giggle escapes you. “You look like shit and the way you screamed-.”
He stands up straight with reddened cheeks. “Never speak of it,” he threatens in a low voice. You roll your eyes and lift a hand to fix his messy hair. You hear the hiss of air from the tube, knowing that Hendery will be arriving soon, but you busy yourself with smoothing down the unruly strands.
The red darkens on his face as you rake your fingers through the hair at his fringe. You aren’t sure what compels you to initiate the act, but he doesn’t stop you so selfishly you continue to take what you can. Satisfied with your work you smile shyly and turn away to hide your face and the heat you can feel creeping up your neck.
A cough snaps you back into attention.
Right, the guards.
Hendery has a creepily knowing smirk on his face while Xiaojun covers his mouth with his hand, but you can see mirth shining in his eyes.
Baekhyun clears his throat and crosses his arms over his chest. “So…where are we supposed to rest exactly? Or are we supposed to wander around and find it ourselves?”
Hendery motions to the right. “Down this hallway.” He nudges Xiaojun and they both walk forward. You resist the urge to smash your head into the wall as you follow behind. Into one of the…beautiful smooth white walls. For the first time you take in the interior of the building where you have ended up.
High ceilings and pillars. Enormous windows that go from ceiling to floor to show an expansive view of what awaits outside.
You’ve had plenty of time to image what Atlantis would look like, but seeing it in front of you now, bathed in a light like that of early dawn, with the reflection of water moving over the architecture…it’s too unreal, too magical to put into words.
“Keep up. You’ll be able to see the city after breakfast with the Queen,” Xiaojun advises. Both you and Baekhyun pick your pace back up after having fallen behind trying to take in all that around you.
Attempting to keep your gawking to a minimum you keep your eyes ahead and try to quickly take in as much as you can.
“We’re here,” Hendery says. You almost tumble into his side when he suddenly stops; and Baekhyun trips over his own feet at your side. “These will be your rooms. There will be drinking water and a bathroom for you to clean up. We have already notified the castle staff of your arrival and there will be clothes delivered to you for you to change into for the meal.
“Breakfast will be served in 3 hours. One of the castle butlers will come for you to show you to the dining area at that time. Until then we advise you entertain yourself inside of the room.” The door is opened and a grand suite awaits you. Your mouth drops at the extravagance of it.
A large bed rests at the very center of the room, draped in iridescent white curtains that look as creamy as milk. The floor is covered in cold white marble and speckled with shells and pearls embedded into it. A large couch is perched near the entrance, a lit fire in front of it keeping the room comfortably warm. A book shelf stretches across a third of the room only stopping at a golden archway that you assume leads into the bathroom. The room is decorated in soft golds, creamy whites and pale blues. You catch little accents of pink in the wall paint and on the couch pillows.
The dome-like shape of the room makes you feel like you’re in a bubble.
“What is with you guys and bubbles?” You grumble to yourself.
Xiaojun shrugs. “It’s an Atlantian thing,” he says simply.
You close your eyes in frustration while Baekhyun grumbles at your side.
“So whose room is this?” Baekhyun asks once he’s done cursing Atlantis and its obsession with bubbles. Hendery and Xiaojun share a look and you catch the sneakiness on their expressions.
Hendery is the one who decides to answer, cheerily as if he isn’t intentionally planning to ruin your time here in Atlantis. “Both of yours.”
“I’m sorry what did you just say?”
“This room is for the both of you.” Hendery casts Baekhyun a wide smile. “You’ll have to share because…uhm..”
“Because we’re low on rooms,” Xiaojun chimes in.
“Yes! Low on rooms,” Hendery agrees quickly, conspicuously. You narrow your eyes. “You see we have a lot of guests recently because of a…” he looks to Xiaojun for help.
“For a uh, for a wedding!”
“Who is getting married?” Baekhyun asks, just to catch them in their lie.
“One of the princes! Ah we must be returning to our Captain now. Rest well!” Hendery says quickly before he and Xiaojun rush away with their hands over their mouths, giggling like school children. You’re adults, you can share a room. You won’t let the giggling of the younger boys worsen the pounding in your chest.
You exhale and shake your head. “Come on.” You enter the room first and immediately feel relaxed by the colors, the roundedness, and general softness of everything around you.
The fire feels like it’s calling your name so you wander over to warm yourself up by its flames. Your wet clothes are beginning to feel bothersome again now that the excitement of being in Atlantis and being alive have begun to fade.
The sound of something sopping wet hitting the ground heavily pulls your attention from the flickering flames. When you turn around you don’t expect to see your roommate getting ass naked…
But alas that is what your eyes land on. His shoes and shirt are already in a wet pile by his feet.
“Baekhyun,” you admonish. He stops with his pants halfway down his legs. You look at his soft naked dick only momentarily before you raise your eyes back to his anticipatory face. “Really?”
“I’m cold and wet. I need a shower do you want me to get sick?”
“You couldn’t even wait to go change in the bathroom?”
“It’s nothing you haven’t seen before,” he responds before shucking the last of his clothing and standing in the middle of the room proudly.
In all his naked glory.
You can’t help but feel a bit put off by the fact that he doesn’t have any issue getting naked around you. He’s not even hard. It’s like your presence doesn’t affect him in the slightest.
Bitterly you wonder if you’d been Jongin would he have a different reaction in this situation. You stand up abruptly. Fuck Baekhyun.
Pettily you strip out of your clothes as you walk towards the bathroom, leaving the wet articles in your wake. “I’m cleaning myself first,” you state coldly as you all but rip the last of your clothing off at the archway of the bathroom.
You don’t turn around and you don’t bother to investigate why he seems stunned to his spot or why he averts his eyes as you walk by.
~~~
The bathroom is just as opulent as the main room. A creamy white with pretty pale pinks streaked through the marble and coloring the crystals that illuminate the room in a soft pinkish glow.
A tub the size of a small pool is carved into the corner of the room. Oils and scented salts in jars cover the expansive shelf built into the wall at its side. A wide mirror stretches across the room with a spout and basin to wash your hands in front of it. A varied range of brushes and facial oils and paints are neatly organized across the counter, settled in front of a thick patterned chaise. You find candles nestled snuggly beneath a shelf of towels and unused sponges on ropes.
Looking at your appearance in the mirror, your hold in the need to physically recoil. You skin looks blanched from the overexposure to water, and the hair on your head is knotted beyond belief. Not wanting to look at your naked form for too long you twist the knob at the tub to release a steady flow of lukewarm water. You toss in some oil that smells good and a soap that catches your attention. The bottle is make of glass and has writing that you can’t read as it must be in Atlantian, but it smells and looks good and bubbles up when it comes in contact with the running water.
Grabbing a comb from the counter of goodies and the specialized hair soap left at the side of the tub, you decide to make an event out of pulling your appearance back together. You will be meeting the Queen in a few hours.
Gingerly, you lower yourself into the water and shove your head under the spout before lathering it in hair soap and detangling the strands on your hand. Rinsing out the suds and then turning off the water, you allow yourself to be semi submerged in the water.
“Yah, you can’t steal the bath and then spend an hour using it. I could have been in and out already.” You crane your neck to find Baekhyun’s complaining form leaning against the archway.
“You weren’t fast enough. Not my problem. You can wait.”
“No I can’t.”
“You can, and you will. I’m not fucking moving.”
In the month you have spent time more intimately with Baekhyun aboard your ship as a fellow crewman, you’ve learned one thing about him that you didn’t know before. He can be astoundingly petty.
His intelligence, his wit, his strength and skill as a pirate, his ability to charm and talk his way out of anything –you knew of it all before. But this petty level of childishness is new.
That being said, you aren’t surprised to find him padding over and then climbing into the large tub across from you. He settles and then his bottom lip juts out.
“Happy now?”
“No.”
You snort loudly and his pout breaks off into something like a smile. You push a handful of water in his direction, not enough to do much and not with enough strength to even be called a splash.
The little shithead he is takes your push of water as permission to send a small tidal wave in your direction, splashing you directly in your face.
You splutter and wipe the water from your eyes while he laughs his loudest most punctuated laugh at your expense. When you squint at him through the water still in your eyes you see pure relaxed happiness in his features, and you can’t find it in you to even attempt to be mad.
This Baekhyun is the real one. The one he covers up with cocky smiles and biting words. The one he leaves locked away and protected from the heartlessness that is required of your jobs.
Happy Baekhyun is a vulnerable Baekhyun. A soft version of him that makes your heart hammer in your chest and sparks a juvenile desire to keep him at your side safe from anyone who dares try and take that side of him away.
His laughing calms to muffled chuckles hidden behind his hand. “Okay, now I’m happy.”
“That makes one of us,” you scoff out. The water begins to agitate your eyes so you run the water from the spout to flush out the fragrance laced liquid. Blindly you reach out for the stream only to continuously miss.
“Come here,” you hear at your side. “Here, lean back.” You’re moved to the side and you lean backwards only to come in contact with his chest. You tense before giving in and letting yourself relax against him. You feel his muscles shifting as he reaches around you to cup water and pour it over your eyes. You blink away the water and scrunch up your face in discomfort. “I’m not done, try and keep your eyes open this time,” he says gently.
You reach up and hold open each eyelid as he cups the water and lets it flush out the soap. Finally you can blink without agitation. You contemplate thanking him, but decide to do it once you’re safely on your side of the bath. As you’re making your escape, arms wrap around you and pull you back securely down between strong thighs and against a warm chest.
“Can you…uh can you let me go?”
“Nuh uh,” he grunts with a head shake.
You look down at where his arms are crossed over your chest and swallow thickly. He perches his chin on your shoulder and takes in a deep relaxed breath. You feel stiff as a board. “This is nice,” he sighs out.
This is too intimate. This is too intimate. This is too intimate.
“How long have you been in love with Jongin, Baekhyun?” you ask in a rush of breath. His grip on you loosens to nothing and you pull yourself away from him, crossing your arms over your chest to hide the hardening of your nipples. From the cold of the air and the all too close embrace you’d found yourself enjoying just a tad too much.
He splutters. “I- wh-” he starts to cough violently. You feel your heart sinking with each noise he makes. “I don’t- I’m not in love with Jongin!”
You let your silence and your frown portray your disbelief.
“I’m serious. I’m not in love with Jongin he’s like my younger brother, what would make you think that?!” He fake gags. “Oh gross, just the thought-” he covers his mouth to fake gag again.
You gawk at him. Is he overcompensating to hide the truth?
“What in Poseidon’s name would lead you to believe that I’m in love with Jongin? I nearly raised the kid.”
You feel embarrassment creeping up your neck like snakes. “You- the…Minseok said…”
“Minseok said I was in love with Jongin?!”
“No! Wait let me-” you smack a hand to your forehead. “Minseok said that you took the compass with you when you came to find the three of us and I guess I just I don’t fucking know assumed you had to want to find your crew most in the world and then I figured you were actually in love with one of them and Jongin seemed like the most likely of him and Chanyeol because Chanyeol doesn’t really seem like your type but I guess it could also be him since he’s kind of goofy and airhead at times too-”
His hands come out of the water to cup your cheeks and then –lips.  
“Stop talking,” he says softly. Another quick press of his lips against yours. “You’re wrong and you’re stupid and you need to stop thinking before you overload your dumb little brain.”
“Hey-”
“Ah ah. What did I say?”
You purse your lips and let him squish your cheeks closer together until your lips are puckered ridiculously. The look in his eyes is fond almost, the smile on his lips and the shine in his eyes soft as he squishes and unsquishes your face.
You bat away his hands. “You still didn’t answer my question,” you whine despite yourself.
“Aw the baby getting upset?” he makes a face of exaggeratedly fake concern. “Come here, sit on daddy’s lap and I’ll make you feel all better.”
“Baek that was gross.”
“The invitation still stands.” He waggles his eyebrows and shimmies his shoulders. When his gaze drops down to your uncovered chest and a bit of the playfulness gets swallowed up by want, you feel a bit of that desire rushing through your veins again.
He isn’t in love with Jongin?
That only leaves more unanswered questions, but you let them go easily at the sight of Baekhyun reclining lazily against the side of the tub, rubbing up and down his thighs slowly and watching you with predatory closeness.
He is so sexy, you are so fucked.
Squashing the tiny feeling of shame, you crawl over and wrap yourself around him. You can feel him rising in excitement from beneath you. You let your arms rest lazily around his shoulders while he busies his hands with massaging circles on your hips.
“That feels nice,” you whisper in a puff of breath. You know that he can see how affected you are –can feel it in your impatient squirms against him as you attempt to subtly relieve the ache growing inside of you. He hums in agreement and focuses his eyes on your mouth.
You can take a hint when it’s staring you in the face like this. You lean forward and connect your lips softly. A peck. Another one. A kiss on the corner of his mouth. A kiss on the tip of his nose. Another on his smiling lips.
When you pull back there’s emotion swimming in his irises that sparks a heat in your core. You nip at his bottom lip.
A lick, a nibble, a juvenile laugh against pressed lips.
He sticks his tongue out through pursed lips, waiting for you to try and kiss him with his ridiculous expression. You pull away to grimace, only to laugh and lick a messy wet stripe from his upper lip to the tip of his nose.
“You’re a dick,” he laughs, wiping your saliva off his nose.
“And you’re a bastard,” you respond easily. You look at your deeply pruning skin with disdain. “We should dry off.”
“But I like it here in the tub; I haven’t even scrubbed the dirt off.”
“We can clean ourselves properly after I get your cock inside me.” You feel him twitch from beneath you. You cock your head to the side teasingly. “Oh, now you’re ready to get out?”
He scrambles from under you and over the edge of the tub right to the towels. You roll your eyes playfully and climb out just as he plops a towel on your head and quickly tries to dry your hair, only messing it up further.
“Hurry up. We’ll get sick if we stay like this for too long. We need to go to the bed and warm up, I can already feel a cold coming on.”

Call of the Ocean Masterlist
A/N: Hello there! There are only 4 chapters left until we catch up to the point where COTO had been originally published... and soon enough, y’all will get the complete story :D. This series is a collaboration with @flamencodiva . Text dividers made by the awesome @talesmaniac89
Next chapter will be posted on Wednesday, November 4th
Tumblr media
After their discussion at the cave, Thasman and Roan had taken their time to go back to Ellen’s house. The conversation they had on their way back took a turn for the better, but got extended to the point that the sun was starting to rise by the time they crossed the front door. 
Harsh truths were spoken, tears rolled, rough voices had cracked. At one point Roan had decided they needed to step back and flat out refused to talk until they had calmed down. Eventually, they were talking about how good they had been together. Soft smiles, touches and loving words were exchanged. In the end though, Thasman actually listened to everything his tough merman had to say and vice versa. 
It wasn’t until Ellen saw Thasman’s back that he realised how much his wound hurt.
“Oh, Poseidon!” 
Bobby rolled his eyes in mild annoyance at Thasman’s grunts of pain. The man had come running at Ellen’s urgent call.  “If you hadn’t pulled your stitches, I wouldn’t have had to stitch you again, boy.”
“I didn’t realize, I’m sorry,” The merman lamented, having a hard time not reaching back and stopping Bobby from working.
“I’m sorry, too,” Roan piped in. “I should have realized that his wound had opened again.”
The man grunted at Thasman to stay still before turning to Roan. “It’s actually not that bad. Next time you guys decide to go out, make sure that this idjit here doesn’t hurt himself in the process, alright?”
“I’d recommend that you guys go to the cave later on,” Ellen’s motherly tone shook the three out of their thoughts. “The sooner Thasman is back to full strength, the better.”
“Yes ma’am,” Thasman panted, reaching out to hold Roan’s hand in his and squeezing the life out of it.
“Does it hurt that much?”
“No, but it feels incredibly weird.”
Roan smiled in relief at his response. He held up their intertwined hands and gave Thasman’s a small kiss in the knuckles. “We have enough balm for today. After that, we’re going to let you heal the human way.”
“I’m going to have a scar, aren’t I?”
“Most likely,” Bobby confirmed.
Thasman gave a defeated sigh at the answer. It wouldn’t be his first scar, but it would certainly be the biggest. Shortly after, Bobby finished stitching him back up, grumbling that he had to be more careful. 
As much as he was thrilled at the prospect of things beginning to get better between him and Roan, Thasman worried about Y/N’s stoic expression. From the moment they’d gotten back from Ellen’s diner the day before, Y/N was quiet, and did her best to not turn attention to herself, preferring to just mix into the background.
Whatever had happened yesterday, it affected her as much as not talking to Dean had before they’d gone back home. 
Y/N grabbed her diner apron and looked at Ellen. “I guess it’s time to go.” 
“It is,” Ellen sighed as she bit her lip. “Roan are you going to be okay staying with Thasman instead of working today?” 
“Yes, Ms. Ellen. I’ll make sure Thasman heals properly. I don’t think we should go to the cave though. I don’t want him to pull his stitches while we walk. But I’m not sure what we can use.” 
“You can use the bathtub,” Y/N muttered. “You can put the balm on his back and have him sit in the bathtub with water and add salt to it. It should do the trick.” 
Ellen looked to Y/N before smiling at Roan. “Bobby, can show you where it is? Y/N and I need to go. Call us if you need anything.” 
Ellen and Y/N made their way out before Bobby could protest. Once the door closed, Bobby turned to Roan and Thasman. 
“If I have to stitch you up again,” He pointed to Thasman. “My foot is going to go so far up your ass that you will not like being human. Understand?” 
Thasman swallowed the lump in his throat, “Yes, sir.” 
“Hey,” Bobby shook his shoulder, trying to get Thasman to look at him. “What I’m tryin’ to say is be careful, alright? You can’t do much protecting or helping if you’re not okay.”
“I understand,” Thasman nodded. “I promise I’ll be more careful.” 
“Good.”
                                          ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
“Son of a bitch,” Dean cursed as he rubbed the top of his head. 
He was working on a new car this morning with the Chevelle all done. He wiped his hand with a rag and looked at Benny. 
“Car needs new spark plugs,” he sighed. 
Benny nodded, writing it down on a notepad. “Alright, want me to call the provider? I think in the best case scenario they can be here in three days or so.”
“Lemme check if Bobby has some, should be in some of those boxes until we can order some for the shop,” Dean sighed. “Have you heard from Cas? I haven’t seen him this morning.” 
“Brotha,” Benny let out a chuckle. “He spent the night with Meg. Probably having a bit of breakfast if you know what I mean.” 
Dean shook his head and sighed, “well it’s been a while since he’s been with a nice girl. I mean Hannah was a bit--” he shuddered at the memory of Castiel’s last girlfriend. 
Benny tilted his head in understandment. “They’re not together anymore. That’s what’s important.”  
“Yeah, well,” Dean gave a small grunt as he found the box of spark plugs. “Call him and tell him he’s late and he needs to get in here to get everything ready for the advertisers.” 
“I got it all under control,” A voice called from behind them. 
“You’re late,” Dean sang. 
“And you’re grumpy,” Cas chuckled. “But, Meg says hello and that the pie today is pecan.” 
“That is going to be an amazing lunch dessert!” Dean sighed happily. 
The boys got back to work as Dean and Benny fixed the car that belonged to one of the locals. When the engine roared to life, Dean gave Benny a high five. What surprised Dean was the way customers trickled in. The garage hadn’t been open long but a slew of customers had started to come in. It was around eleven in the morning when Dean and Benny were taking a small break that Cas let out a small curse. 
“What happened?” Dean called out. 
“I forgot to tell you,” Cas smiled. “Meg said Y/N’s back in town!” 
“She is?!” Dean stood straighter. “Why didn’t she come here?” 
“I don’t know, but Ellen did say that something had happened and they were waiting for a flight back,” Cas scratched at his chin. “She mentioned something happening back in Y/N’s home, but…” 
“Is she okay? Is she hurt?” Dean began to panic. 
“I’m not sure,” Cas glanced at Benny. He could tell Dean was panicking and cleared his throat. “I’m sure everything is--” he stopped when Dean turned away to walk out of the garage. 
The sound of the Impala let Benny and Cas know that he was on his way to the diner. Driving down the road, a few things ran through Dean’s mind. Why didn’t she come see him? Did something happen to Thasman? Were they married? So many questions ran through his head as he reached the diner. Parking the car he checked himself out in the mirror, making sure he didn’t have grease on his face. 
“Okay,” Dean said to himself. “Maybe it’s not that bad. I mean, she loves working at Ellen’s so maybe she was waiting until things aren’t busy,” He reasoned with himself. 
With one last look at himself in the side mirror, he gathered his courage and walked towards the front door. Before he opened it, he could see her through the window. She looked just as beautiful as the last day he saw her. But he could tell there was a sadness to her. He could tell something was wrong. Her smile wasn’t reaching her eyes. 
Opening the door, the familiar sound of the bell echoed around him. He watched as she glanced up and froze at the sight of him. He gave her a small wave and walked up to her. 
“Can we talk?” Dean asked. 
The way she tensed up made alarm bells start ringing in his head. She tried to give him a small smile. “Maybe later? Ellen needs my help here.”
“Y/N,” Dean leaned on the counter she was working on. “Just five minutes, please? Take a break.” 
“Dean,” Y/N shook her head. “I can’t. I have a few tables to wait and the lunch rush is about to come in. Please, can you wait until later?” 
“I--” Dean looked around for anyone to help him and smiled when he found Ellen. 
Leaving Y/N’s section he walked over to the elder woman and smiled. 
“Dean!” She beamed. “I take it you want to talk to Y/N?” 
“Please, Ellen,” Dean put his hands together as he pleaded with her. 
“Y/N,” Ellen called.
“Yes?” She rushed over before glancing at Dean, frowning slightly. 
“Take your break hun,” Ellen said. “You’ve been at it all morning.” 
“Hear that, sweetheart?” he asked. “You’re on your break.” he gave her a soft cocky smile.  
Y/N rolled her eyes and sighed, "fine." 
Dean followed Y/N to the back of the diner and pulled her into a hug. 
“Why didn’t you come see me?” he whispered into her hair. 
He went in to kiss her but got her cheek instead. He frowned a bit and tilted his head at her. 
“What’s wrong?” Dean placed a hand on her cheek and moved his head so that he was looking into her eyes. “Talk to me.” 
"It's nothing," Y/N tried to brush it off. "It's been a long day since we arrived early yesterday, and--" 
“Wait,” Dean pulled back. “You’ve been here since yesterday?” 
“I wanted to see you but then I thought that if you saw me I would stop you from finding love and–”
“What are you talking about?” Dean was confused by what Y/N was saying. “What do you mean you’re stopping me from finding love?” 
“Dean, whatever we have between us, it– it won’t work. And even if we were together we would not last and you already have a girlfriend and I don’t want to ruin that.”
“Woah, woah, sweetheart, I don’t have a girlfriend.”
“Yes, you do. When I came by the garage yesterday she was there, she kissed you. She introduced herself as your girlfriend just yesterday when she came here for lunch.”
“No, no, no. She’s not my girlfriend. She’s not even a friend of mine, sweetheart I– You saw her kiss me? You didn’t see me push her away or tell her to leave?”
“I didn’t want to see anymore… it seemed like you found someone else and I didn’t want to get in the way.”
“Y/N, I swear to you. My feelings for that woman are not good ones. I don’t love her. Please. Ask Benny, Cas, any member of the crew. I pushed her away from me and told her to leave.”
"Dean," she whispered. "She was proud to call herself your girlfriend. How could I stand in the way of that?" 
“Sweetheart, the only woman I want to call my girlfriend is you. I was worried about you and Thasman and about the possibility of never seeing you again. I’m so sorry you had to see that kiss, and that you had to deal with that bitch.”
Y/N took that moment to look deep into his eyes. The way he looked at her made her heart flutter. She had missed being close to him, missed his arms around her, his laugh, his smile. But most of all, she missed looking deeply into his eyes. The green eyes that showed her love and adoration. 
“She is not your girlfriend?” She had to check again. 
“I swear on Baby that she is not my girlfriend,” Dean held on to her face, his thumbs caressing her cheeks. “All I could think about since the moment you left, was why I let you go. I wanted to hunt down where you lived so I could participate in whatever ritual you guys had. Please don’t shut me out again.” 
Y/N closed her eyes at the feel of his fingers caressing her skin. She let the smile she was holding back creep up on her lips before leaning in and kissing him. 
Dean sighed contently at the feel of her lips on his. He missed how they felt. He let one arm snake around her hips pulling her in tight. With his free hand he raked his fingers through her hair. He let his tongue run along her bottom lip before she let him gain access. Their tongues danced as he held her close. 
“I. Missed. You,” Dean said in between kisses. 
“Missed. You. Too,” Y/N replied. 
They continued to kiss for what seemed like a few minutes before finally breaking apart. Dean placed his forehead against hers and smiled. But there was still sadness in her eyes. 
“Y/N?” He whispered. “What’s wrong?” 
Y/N hadn’t realized she had been holding in a lot of what had happened. She didn't let herself feel until now. Being with Dean helped her realize she needed to tell someone how she felt. 
“Thasman got hurt,” she whispered. “He won… which is good. But the suitor he was fighting against struck him from behind and had his own personal guards attack our kingdom.” 
His eyes were drowned in worry in a second. His touch got gentler, in case she was wounded. “They didn’t get to you? Are you okay? Is Thasman okay?”
“I’m fine, they didn't get to me. My father didn't give them a chance to. Bobby had to stitch Thasman up. Our medical knowledge is limited and his wound was deep. The balm only works so much,” Y/N tried to explain. “But I’m worried Dean. I haven’t heard from my father and I’m scared.” 
His arms enveloped her in a tight, protective hug, and she gave a relieved breath at the feel of him. Dean kissed the top of her head softly, murmuring, “Sweetheart, how did you even get here?” 
“Everything happened so fast,” she whispered. “I just remember a very long boat ride and then a plane waiting for us,” She lied flawlessly. 
Y/N stayed silent as Dean held her. She hadn’t realized she was sobbing until she heard Dean giving her comforting words. His hand rubbed the small of her back as she buried her face on the crook of his next. Her tears falling on his coveralls. Dean let his hand caress the top of her head. He placed gentle kisses over it as he let her cry. 
After a minute she calmed down and held Dean’s face in her hands. Her thumbs ran across his cheeks before smiling brightly at him. 
“I’m happy I’m here, Dean.” she placed her forehead against his, taking in his scent. 
Dean let out a soft chuckle, “I’m happy you’re here, too.”  
“I should get back and help Ellen,” Y/N sighed as she gave Dean one last kiss. 
When Y/N tried to pull away, Dean gave a devilish smirk before pulling her back in for another long kiss. Dean took his time, making the kiss long and slow as his thumbs caressed her cheek. 
“Hey,” Dean said as he pulled away. “Your birthday was two days ago. I think we should celebrate it. A little late but we can have one hell of a party?” 
“Depends on what you have in mind.”
“Well,” Dean wrapped his arms around her pulling her close. “Burgers, hot dogs, cake, pastries. I mean we can have some music, dancing and drinks. Then you and I can have some alone time.” 
“Thasman and Roan can be there, right? And Ellen and Bobby too.” 
“Anyone you want, sweetheart,” Dean smiled. “Just one question, who’s Roan?” 
“Thasman’s boyfriend,” she smiled excitedly. 
“Come again?” Dean raised an eyebrow. “He’s… he has a boyfriend?” 
“Yes! I only found out the day we went back home.” Y/N explained, her smile wavering a bit at the reminder of how long they were together, and how the duels had ruined it. “I have known them both for years and I never even suspected a thing.”
Dean gave a small nod, “He must be a really good friend. Letting his boyfriend fight for your hand and all. I mean you guys aren’t married yet… right?” 
“No. Thasman had barely won when Michael attacked him from behind.” Her smile disappeared at the thought of her father and Liara. “We barely had enough time to run.”
Dean smiled brightly, “then I don’t feel so bad doing this again,” he pulled her in for a kiss. “I’m sure they’re safe and just waiting for the right time to contact you,” Dean assured her. 
“Maybe we shouldn’t celebrate my birthday… How can I when my home was attacked, my friend got hurt and I’m not sure my father is alright.”
“Y/N, I…” Dean’s smile fell at how sad she looked. “I’m sorry. You’re right. We can do something else,” he swallowed the lump in his throat. 
“I’m sorry Dean, I am,” She whispered. “I should get back.” 
Y/N pulled away from him and made her way back inside. Being with him was now bittersweet. She was happy to be with him again. But how could she be happy when her kingdom was in danger. Her father and Liara are in danger and she is on the surface having fun? What kind of princess was she to let that happen? Grabbing her pad and pencil where she left it before her break, she plastered on a smile and got back to work. 
Dean leaned against the wall behind the diner and sighed. Closing his eyes, he tried to think of a way to cheer Y/N up without upsetting her. Reaching for his phone he decided to make a small phone call to the shop. 
After a few rings, he smiled when someone picked up. 
“DBC Mermaids Garage, this is Castiel speaking, how can I help you?” 
“Cas,” Dean sighed. “It’s Dean. I have something I need to take care of. Can you and Benny take over for the rest of the day?” 
“Did something go wrong with Y/N?”
“I’ll explain everything later,” Dean ran a hand across his face. “Are you guys okay closing up today?” 
“Yeah, I’ll let Benny know and we’ll call Andrea or Sam to pick us up. You go and sweep Y/N off her feet, alright?”
“I’ll try,” Dean chuckled. “Going to visit Thasman and ask him a few things. So don’t wait up for me.” 
“Alright. Good luck, Dean.”
Hanging up, Dean jogged towards Baby and drove towards Ellen's. He could only hope that Thasman could help him cheer Y/N up. 
                                         ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Thasman sighed as he lay belly down on the couch. He flipped through the tv channels using what Bobby and Ellen called a remote control. He sighed out of boredom. How did humans do this? The box with the moving pictures was not appealing to him and Roan seemed to be busy talking to Bobby in the kitchen. It sounded like they were preparing something. 
“Why must Bavverissi Baveras curse me to be immobile!” Thasman grumbled. 
“Because you popped some of your stitches and you need to heal, you idjit!” Bobby called back. 
“I know, I know,” Thasman mumbled. There was something that was on Thasman’s mind. “Bobby?” 
“Yeah, Kid,” He called back. 
“How come you aren’t scared of what we are?” Thasman groaned as he tried to sit up. 
Bobby rushed over and sighed. “Hold on, before you pop a stitch again,” he grumbled as he helped Thasman get up slowly. “Now, you’re asking me why I’m not scared of you? Why should I be?” 
“We grew up hearing stories. About merpeople being hunted, or getting caught in a net. We also heard a lot about humans being bad to each other, so why would they be nice to us?”
“You forgot about all the experiments, Thas,” Roan called out from the kitchen. 
“Yeah, that too.”
Bobby let out a soft hum and a nod, “I won’t deny that there are humans like that.” Bobby admitted. “But, I had my own mermaid I protected once.” 
“You mean Thames?” Roan asked. 
“Thames?” Thasman looked from Roan to Bobby. “What about the lost princess?”  
“She’s the mermaid I fell in love with,” Bobby muttered. 
“You fell in love with Y/N’s missing aunt?” The merman questioned incredulously.
“Just before she had to go back, she and I… well… let’s just say our last night was memorable and then I never got to see or hear from her again.” Bobby sighed. “I let her go when I could have told her to stay with me. But she said that she couldn’t leave her brother without telling him that she didn’t want to rule.” 
Roan made his way to the living room in interest of the human’s story. He sat on the floor in front of the couch where Thasman layed, reaching back to grab one of the merman’s hands and hold it softly. “Bobby,” he stated softly. “Thames never went back to the kingdom.”
Bobby’s eyes widened in panic, “What? What do you mean? Where could she have gone?” 
“She vanished. Thames told her brother that she would leave for a while… and she never came back,” he added. 
“My guardian said it was around the same time my mother died after giving birth to me,” Thasman whispered. “Liara said my mother kept her pregnancy a secret because they would have enslaved me and my mother.”
“Why in the hell would you have been enslaved?!” Bobby huffed. “That don’t make a lick of sense.” 
“In our kingdom, unmarried mermaids and their offspring would be placed for servitude.” Roan whispered. “Unless someone has mercy on them, they are destined to serve the palace.” 
“That’s some bullshit right there,” The human pointed out.
“Our king always releases the slaves, but the people still hold a slight prejudice against the unmated mermaids,” Thasman muttered. “But, Liara saved me. Although I’m a palace guard I do have more freedom than some of the palace workers.”  
Bobby gave them a nod in understanding. “Still can’t believe that your people do that, though.”
Thasman looked down at his hands, “Sometimes I think Liara tells me what I want to hear. I think my mother just didn’t want me.”  
“Impossible.” Roam assured him. “I bet she just had complications.”
Thasman gave Roan a soft smile, “Thank you. But, I like to think of Liara as my mother. Even though she isn’t by blood… she raised me to be the stubborn stingray I am today.” 
“She didn’t raise you to be that stubborn,” Roan argued. “You’re stubborn by your own nature. 
“So then if Thames never went back to the kingdom,” Bobby looked at the two mermen. “How did Y/N get her bracelet?” 
“Liara sent me to retrieve it. I assume she read about it in one of the palace’s scrolls.” 
Bobby nodded and sighed. “Well, I guess Dean’s lucky then.” Bobby ran a hand across his face. “He gets his princess back. But what’s going to happen when he--” 
Before Bobby could finish his question there was a knock on the door. 
“Thas?” Dean’s voice called through the door. “Thas, I know you guys are back. I just saw Y/N at the diner.” 
“Could you open the door, Bobby?” Thasman asked as he held his eyes shut. 
Bobby made his way towards the door to let Dean in. “Here I thought you wanted to run a garage, not chase after girls.” he grumbled. 
“You know as well as I do that things are going smoothly, Bobby.” Dean breathed.
“I guess,” Bobby sassed as he led Dean to the living room. 
Dean froze when he saw the bandage on Thasman’s back, “Y/N wasn’t kidding when she said you got hurt, but she didn’t tell me it was this bad.” 
“I’m okay, Jellyfish,” Thasman waved him off. “I’ll bounce back in no time. So what brings you here?” 
“I wanted to talk to you about a few things. I’m guessing this is Roan?” At Thasman’s affirmative, he extended his hand for the man to shake, only to receive a strange look in response.
“Thas? What should I do?” Roan whispered. 
“He wants you to shake his hand, Roan.” Thasman smiles fondly. “I forgot to tell you about that. So, what did you want to talk about, Jellyfish?”
“I wanted to celebrate Y/N’s birthday and well, ask you why you wanted to marry her when you already had someone.”
“Oh,” Thasman smiled. “Celebrating Y/N’s birthday sounds like fun! She didn’t really have a good birthday back home. She was sad and gloomy.” he told Dean. “As for me having someone well-- That’s complicated, but I stopped her from having to marry the shark that cut my back.” 
“That’s another thing. The duels were two days ago. Y/N said you got here yesterday. How did you even get here with a wound like that?”
“Roan helped a lot,” Thasman explained. “I’m not even sure I would’ve made it here without him. And Bobby.”
Dean stayed silent as he looked at Roan and Bobby. “Okay, well, I guess how do we surprise Y/N and make her smile? She’s worried about her dad and a lady named Liara and she got all sad…” Dean began to ramble. 
“Jellyfish,” Thasman placed a hand on his shoulder and winced. “What do you have in mind? I’ll try to talk to her as best I can.” 
“I guess we can surprise her with a small party?” Dean wasn’t sure. “I mean I wanted to do a nice barbeque with burgers and hotdogs, get some pastries and a cake. Definitely drinks, some dancing.” 
“The smaller the better, I think. Y/N hated how big of a deal her birthday was with the duels.”
“I think it was more that she was mad at you,” Roan huffed. “Plus, she was sad. Now I think I know why. She was missing him,” Roan pointed to Dean. 
“Roan,” Thasman chidded. “Now is not the time.” 
“I’m only saying, maybe she doesn’t want something huge, but I don’t think she wants something small… you don’t know that many humans here, right?”
Thasman placed his head in his hand at Roan’s choice of words. “We have some friends and I think having them celebrate Y/N is a good thing. Besides, she has Jellyfish here to kiss her troubles away,” he teased Dean hoping it would distract the man from Roan’s use of words. 
“Just my friends, Ellen and Bobby, maybe the people from the diner that work with her? Would that be alright with her?”
Thasman nodded, “I think so. I know she’s worried about her father and Liara. But that shouldn’t stop her from spending time with you and celebrating her birthday the way she should.” Thasman winced as he got up to a sitting position. “So how do we do this?” 
“I guess we plan for it to be at the diner?” Dean suggested. “It would be the best spot to have the party.” 
The men continued to talk about their ideas for surprising Y/N. Dean looked at the time after a while and stood up. “I’m going to head back and pick her up, maybe take her out for a drive.” 
“Alright, Jellyfish. We’re going to take a walk around.” Thasman said as he got up from the couch with Roan’s help. 
“I’ll let you know about the party. Thinking day after tomorrow? Not too soon, but not too late?” Dean said as he walked with them to the door. 
“If everything stays good, yes.” Thasman agreed.
Dean said his goodbyes as he made his way to the Impala and drove back towards the dinner. Thasman looked at Roan as they made their way to the path leading to the cave. 
“How did you know Y/N was mad at me the night of her celebration?” he muttered. 
“She kept glaring at you,” Roan said as if it was obvious. “I was mad at you, too. We both were hurt by your stubbornness.” 
“I thought I was doing what was best.”
“It wasn’t, Thasman,” Roan sighed. “I know you say you’re sorry. But I can’t help but think that once you are healed you’ll put yourself in the line of danger again.” 
“If it meant keeping you, Liara, Y/N, or anybody else I care about safe, then yes,” He stared at Roan in the eye, trying to convey how much he meant it. “I will. Without hesitation.”
Roan let his words sink in before he nodded. “I see,” he was thankful when they reached the cave and he began stripping his clothes off and making his way to the water. “Let’s get the balm on you. Although, we will need to make more and we don’t know how to make it.” 
“Stitches leave tonight if this goes well, right?” Thasman questioned as they stepped into the water, then gave a sigh of relief when he felt his tail reappear. 
“Yes,” The other merman confirmed, motioning for Thasman to swim closer. “Let me put the rest of the balm on you.”
Thasman swam towards Roan and turned so that his back was to him. “Roan.” 
“Yes, Thasman?” the merman answered as he placed the balm on Thasman’s back. 
“I would like it if we could…” Thasman swallowed the lump in his throat. “If we could start over? 
For a moment, he swore that Roan’s silence was going to be all the answer he was going to get, and that undoubtedly would mean ‘no’. He felt Roan gulp behind him. “Only if you let me jump into the line of danger for you,” He stated softly. “And if you stop swimming at the chance to sacrifice yourself.”
“I--” Thasman closed his eyes. “You know that would be hard for me to do, Roan. That’s not fair. I can’t let you get hurt.” 
“Life isn’t fair, Thasman.” Roan countered. “You may be a guard but if I put my life on the line it’s so that you can live. I would die for you.” 
Thasman pulled away and turned towards him, “How can you ask me that? How can you ask me to just not try and save you or--” he stopped when he realized that it would be a never ending cycle. “Roan, my job is protecting people and I can’t let you sacrifice yourself for me.” 
“I refuse to just watch as you swim to danger.” He sniffled. “No. You can’t expect me to be with you if you’re going to swim head first into danger. I want you to listen to me the way I try to listen to you. I don’t want you to leave me because you thought it was for the best. Not again.”
Thasman looked at Roan, “how about, we protect each other,” he tried to compromise. “I know you are more than capable, Roan. But I think this is the best compromise we can get. I will protect you just as I know you will protect me.” 
The merman gave it a thought, still looking at him dubiously. “I promise to keep my end of the deal if you keep yours.”
“I think we should start slow and get to know each other again,” Thasman suggested. “We are in a new place, and we have both changed in the past few months.” 
“That sounds fair.” Roan agreed. “I don’t know about you, but it hasn’t been the same without you… nothing has.”
Thasman couldn’t help but reach out and caress Roan’s cheek. The feel of the man's skin on his fingertips made his heart pound in his chest. Thasman swam closer to the other merman, pressing his body against Roan’s. 
“Roan,” Thasman whispered. “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss you.” 
That statement alone had seemed to break and light up Roan’s heart at the same time. “I miss you too.”
Thasman leaned in and brought his face dangerously close to Roan’s. Roan’s eyes would go from gazing deep into Thasman’s eyes before glancing at the merman’s lips. It had been a long time since they were this close to one another. Roan had only dreamed of being with Thasman again. Their eyes fell shut as they closed the distance for different reasons; one was afraid this wasn’t real and would wake up to another day without the other, and one could not believe his luck at being given another chance to be with the other. Lips on lips were almost there, almost touching.
“Oh, Bavverissi Baveras, Thasman!”
Thasman and Roan pulled away at the sound of the voice. Thasman turned and smiled at the sight of Liara. 
“Liara!” he carefully swam to her. “Thank Poseidon you’re safe!” 
“I wasn’t sure you would be here at all! I thought I wouldn’t find you.” She let out a relieved breath at the feel of him in her arms, before pulling away quickly. “Your back! How is your wound coming along?”
Roan swam next to Thasman, “He had to get what the humans call ‘Stitches’.” 
“What?!” Liara screeched. “What do you mean humans gave him things called ‘stitches’?” She took hold of Thasman’s face. “What did they do? Are you hurt?” She turned to Roan. “How could you let them touch him? Why would you let them give him what we don’t know?”
“It helped, Liara,” Roan tried to reassure her in an attempt to calm her down. “This old human, Bobby, said that Thasman probably wouldn’t have made it if he had not given him the stitches. He’s going to take them out tonight, tomorrow at worst.”
At the mention of Bobby, Liara closed her mouth and took Thasman’s face in her hand.
“Thasman, is it true?” she whispered. “How do you feel?”  
“It is true. Liara, Bobby really helped me. I feel much better than two days ago.”
“It is not safe for you to go back to the Kingdom, my guppy.”
“How are things?”
“Michael was able to overthrow Nereus.”
Thasman’s expression turned into something somber and vengeful at the news. “How?”
“He was planning this from the moment he arrived. His army just kept coming and eventually we were outnumbered. Many died. Michael threatened to start killing innocents if the kingdom didn’t surrender.”
“Then I must go back. I can help. I can defeat him.”
“You, Roan and the Princess must stay here. As long as you are alive, the kingdom still has a chance. I’ve been sent by the King to seek help with our allies. Michael will be defeated, Thasman, I promise you. You three are helping more by staying out of danger than by going back.” 
Thasman looked at Liara and gave a soft frown, “I don’t like feeling helpless, Liara.” 
“You’re not helpless, Thasman. But staying hidden is the best thing you can do at the moment.”
Thasman let out a frustrated cry as he swam around. The skin on his back tingled from the balm working it’s magic. He looked at his guardian. 
“We’re out of balm,” he told her. 
Liara gave them a knowing smile, then reached back at a bag she had carried with her. “Then I guess my timing is a lot better than I thought. 
“You brought more,” Roan smiled. “Thank you, Liara. But how did you manage to get it here without being seen?” 
Liara held out a small scroll with the king’s seal on it. She looked at Thasman and Roan and smiled. 
“We are fine,” she reassured them. “I'm more concerned about your safety. But I can see that you are handling yourselves well.” she caressed Thasman’s cheek. “My little guppy.” she told him lovingly. “Don’t worry about us and worry about your time here. When we need you I promise we will call for you.”  Liara took the time to look around, “Where is Y/N?” 
“Working at Ellen’s Diner,” Roan smiled. “She is safe there, Liara. She is also very good at what humans call waitressing.” 
The mermaid’s expression grew concerned. “She needs to keep her distance. Don’t let the human know that she’s here.”
“Liara,” Thasman breathed. “We will keep the princess as safe as we can. But don’t ask us to tell her to cage in her heart. You saw how miserable she was back in the kingdom.” 
Liara bit her lip and nodded. “Very well. But please be careful. I must head back. I have brought you as much balm as I could carry for your wound. Although it will scar you must continue to train once you are able.” 
“Yes, Liara,” Thasman nodded. “I promise I will not let that shark get the better of me again.” 
“I must get back before he suspects I have gone missing,” Liara sighed before pulling Thasman in for a tight hug. She tried not to let the tears form in her eyes, but it was proving to be difficult. “Make sure Y/N reads that letter. It should put her at ease.” 
“I will,” he promised once more.
Liara brought his face close before she kissed his forehead. “Be safe, my little guppy.” she whispered. 
Thasman nodded, “Be safe, Liara.” 
Liara gave him one last smile before swimming out of the cave and back towards the kingdom. She could feel the tears fill her eyes as she swam away. She could feel the fear creep up on her, the truth would eventually come out. She only hoped that Thasman wouldn’t hate her for everything she hid from him. On top of that, the longer Y/N stayed on the surface, the more she would be attached to the human she fell in love with. With one last look behind her, she sent a silent prayer to whoever would listen to protect the three children of the sea before swimming away.

Angsty angsty sadness Poseidon/Thor ;D
Birth death.
Welcome to a how much can I mess this characters emotionality, today, there is going to be the pregnant reader, but with a change, everything is ok and she wakes up (until birth tho)
Poseidon
You had woken up on the same week your day of giving birth was scheduled for
" Apollo? What are you doing here?"
"Reader! You already woke up. I have to notify Poseidon"
"Apollo?!"
∆∆∆
"Reader!"
"Poseidon! What happened?"
" It doesn't matter now that you are well"
You were quite weak but still healthy enough for no one to worry about
" Reader are you ok?"
"Yes yes, I only got out of breath"
"Ok, just don't force it"
Everything went normal, you were trying to walk around and be active
" Let's go swimming! It is so sunny!'
" I will wait for you on the shore. Don't go too deep into the sea
Until the day of giving birth.
"H-Honey"
"Mhm?"
" I think I went into labor"
"What"
"I am in labor!"
" I'm calling Artemis"
Things went too bad too quickly
" Apollo! Come here!"
"I'm going I'm going"
"I need Tranexamic acid! Fast"
" Poseidon, please go out"
The bleeding wouldn't stop no matter what they trying using
" Did you use enough Tranexamic acid? Maybe the dose wasn't enough?"
"I gave her the maximum dose!"
" Reader is burning in fever!"
"How high?"
"110°F"
"Give her acetaminophen! That should help her out"
At the point where you finished giving birth you already died.
" Reader, wake up, reader you finished giving birth. Please reader, wake up.
Poseidon was devastated by your death.
"What?"
" She died, she's gone"
" Poseidon where are you going!? Your children are here!"
" Apollo, no"
He started employing painters to make portraits of you in any way where you seemed alive, like dancing in a meadow, swimming in the sea.
" I finished the commission, where do I put it"
" Eh!? Another one?, Put it in that corner, we will find a wall to put that portrait on"
"That is the fifth this week, isn't it?"
He wouldn't care for your children. Having servants at that duty
" Athy, you are in charge of apolline today? Yesterday we did a play date with Apo and Eire and accidentally she took her shark plushie"
" Tomorrow I'm in charge of Apo, but I can tell ambar to go fetch it from eirene"
" Thank you, you are a lifesaver!"
He couldn't stand the thought of caring for what killed you
Until one night, charmian wouldn't stop crying all night. At his last straw, he went to her crib to shut her up
" Is someone going to shut this mutt up or will I have to do it"
"Waaaaaaah"
"What? What are you crying for?'
But when Poseidon looked in her eyes he saw a you in her.
'You look just like the person you killed, like your mother" sighs " she changed my life, she made my life worthwhile."holds baby" I really wanted for you to be quiet, but now… I wouldn't mind hearing your mindless coos. You even sound a little like your mother."
*Squeak*
" Pray tell, are your siblings as similar to your mother as you?"
*Coo*
Poseidon saw a little piece of you in every one of your children
Charmian was your carbon copy
Eirene had your eyes
Halcyone had your personality
Apolline, had your face
Asafes had your hair
Even if he lost the first moments of their lives he didn't plan on missing more
" How is little miss charmian doin- mister Poseidon?!"
Poseidon was seated in the rocking chair with the baby in his chest. The only thing that Poseidon did was to put a finger in his lips to show her to stay quiet
" I'm returning in one second sir"
That day Poseidon visited all of his children after all, they were the last gift you gave him
Thor
Loki was right, after 5 years you woke up perfectly, or almost perfectly, you were significantly more weak.
" I told ya, she would wake up in 5 years, but nooo, you didn't believe me. I believe you owe me an apology"
" Shut up"
But no one paid attention to it, after all, they had to check more important things.
"Lately I have been out of breath"
"Maybe do a little exercise? Or maybe rest?
Everything went overall ok. You got shortness of breath more easily but they thought it was mostly because of the twins
"Ow, sweetie, don't worry, it's normal to get out of breath in pregnancies"
"Sure, miss frigg?"
"Totally"
The winter came, harsh cold and a perfect environment for viruses and bacteria.
You got pneumonia, and that is when things started getting worse. Your breathing got even worse, leaving you out of breath even if you did nothing. While you were trying to fight the illness the Æsir were all wishing for you to get better or your birth to be far away.
"Give her some antibiotics, and keep her away from water!"
" I will eir"
But wishing does nothing against fate, your birth fell not even the same day you cured from pneumonia, but when you were still ill.
No one thought you were going to survive, it was a struggle to be breathing doing nothing, the birth of twins would be anything but easy.
" Get some wet towels!"
"And some antibiotics!"
Loki thought that he dodged a bullet when you woke up. He went on a journey the day you started giving birth, he didn't want to face Thor's wrath if you died.
"Where are you going Loki?"
"Anywhere away from Thor"
Thor was by your side the whole time grabbing your hand and brushing hair out of your face.
" You can do it. Do you want to grab my hand, you can squeeze it if it makes you feel better. I know you can make it, I believe in you"
You survived the birth and had some time with your twins.
"They don't have anything of mine, they have your golden eyes and your red hair"
" they got your nose and your eye shape"
But you didn't survive the night
"Reader, do you want me to change that diaper?"
" …"
"Reader? Please answer, are you asleep? No, it must be another thing. Reader please, stop it it isn't funny anymore"
Thor wouldn't let anyone touch the twins. Not his mother, nor his father, Loki or servants
"Can I grab my niece and nephew?" Asked Loki already hovering over the babies
"No. You are the reason they don't have a mother"
"Aww! Let those cuties meet their grandma. Thor! Don't move them! I want to hold them"
"You are part of why they don't have a mother too"
" … "
" No"
"Mister Thor, let me care for the twins , I have some experience with babies"
" Get a step closer and you aren't walking well out of this"
" O-oh sorry, they are calling me, I have to go!"
If Thor was close to the twins in the comma reader, they are closer if the reader died
