Hurricane: Piper × percy

hellloo darling! these two always make my heart flutter and although this was the shortest drabble in this edition of the drabble challenge i think it's definitely one of the more emotional (maybe aggressive) ones. i was listening to 13 Missed Calls by Zach Hood and basically i changed the song into a fic.

she looks like an angel but she's bad for my health

CW: toxic/unhealthy relationship

prompt: hurricane// mcjackson// 256 words

Percy flings his phone across the room and is disappointed when it doesn’t shatter. When it bounces against the puffy-cushion and lands with a dull thud on the floor.

Thirteen fucking missed calls.

Thirteen and she still thinks she’s right. Thirteen and she still thinks they’re salvageable. “Stay for me Percy,” She whispers. He hears it thirteen times like echo, like unrelenting. “I’ve been thinking about you Percy.” And he wants to say he’s trying not to think about her. That if he does he’ll yank his body off a bridge. Thirteen days of nothing, of endless despairing nothing.

He is in the middle of a hurricane and the hurricane itself, all at once.

“I love you Percy.” And he can still taste the lies on her lips. They’re so sweet, they sound so pretty. He wants to go in for another taste. Anything better than the ash he is left with. Better than the ringing he always hears.

“We’re so good together.” She smiles, and it lights up his dying forest.

What they forget to tell you is that dying trees catch alight much faster, that the warmth in his chest should not be getting so unbearably hot, that he should not be suffocating on the smoky aftermath.

“You don't care.” He sighs. She’s looking for drama and he’s happy to be the thespian. Just one more night.

Hurricane romance, he grins, as he stares at the destruction within him. Inferno love, she smiles, looking at her charred fingertips where she touches him. Pretty hellish end.

In combination with:

[image id: a screencap of an ask sent in by @/stillneedsmorekissing that reads, "I am Highly Intrigued by Empires on the Horizon". end id]

Thank you to both of you for the ask and the interest you guys flutter my heart🥺

@firerose hehe i like my terms of endearment but im glad you found comfort in that one, sending hugs (or any other comfort gesture you prefer) always! your support is endless and appreciated beyond measure

@stillneedsmorekissing im having a hard time believing you’re not sick of me this week but i can’t seem to do anything but gush about you or your various facets of wonder when we interact (please forgive me and chastise me if the stalkerish tendencies get too overwhelming- until then im obligated to give you pieces of my soul at any cost)

onto the asks:

(i don’t know if you guys have read EotH so on the assumption you haven’t): Empires on the Horizon was a project i undertook in the middle of last year in which i wanted to tell a story of jason (my one of two fave boys) and how he navigates the world after countless mishaps and (mis)adventures, with a pack of friends (and lovers) by his side. the endgame (which is now fast approaching) is jercy but he had to get through a few trials and loves and heartbreaks before that. That line i posted is from chapter 16 (i think) when he wakes up in bed besides percy, because they had to share one (yea there WAS only one bed). No nsfw happenings in this fic (only alludes to it) since i was (and definitely still am) pretty inexperienced as a writer so i didn’t feel comfortable to write smut, nor did i think i could do it justice, nor did i feel that was the vibe for this fic when i started writing it. Additionally (and im sorry to disappoint you angel @firerose) this is set in a “modern” au where jason is a ceo and his friends are engineers, and dressmakers, and vets, and psychologists, and oceanographers (so basically no demigods and they’re all grown up), therefore no dark jercy is present anywhere but we do get some angry jason when someone gets hurt, if that counts for something? Anyway now that i’ve rambled on endlessly i can give you two things:

1. a warning that if you ever decide to read this fic, know it’s pretty not-my-best in the beginning but gradually gets better a few chapters in. I was mostly mucking about when i started it but now it’s one of my favourite universes specifically because it’s so jason focused. 

2. a further snippet (in which they have breakfast in bed) from the fic (since i’ll only be updating it when i’ve finished with the epilogue which is not due for a while):

“Strawberry my good sir?” A brown hand waved near his face, offering him the bright red fruit.

Jason opened his mouth, closing his teeth around the berry which burst with sweetness across his tongue. He couldn’t stop the hum of appreciation that vibrated his throat. The sparkle in those green eyes made him wonder if he should keep making those sounds.

thank you cass (@firebirdofscythia) and @firerose for the tags. I don’t have any WIPs for the sjm fandom but i have a few for the pjo fandom so i’m just combining both tags! and cause im forward and have no writing mojo (which means nothing’s happening for a while) i thought id add one line (if i have that written) from each of them just to make it more fun and to give you something more than just titles since you’re not getting any actual content out of me

Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

1. Empires on the Horizon: He couldn’t help the smile that fell to his lips as he watched his friend stare at their bodies. “Pretty isn’t it?”

2. Kingdom Collisions

3. Mafia AU: When you grow up watching people shoot guns at glass bottles for fun, and spend mornings and evenings running around a gym getting thrown about and punched, it becomes hard to understand the meaning of gentle.

4. Crimson Shadows: Jason’s breathing is hard, pressing at his ribs like his lungs are one inhale from exploding, but still he moves faster, pushes harder.

5. jasabeth office au (which may be called lovers in the city): Annabeth van feel the night air cling to her skin like another layer of clothes

6. a random percy bit that’s like 200 words long that didn’t start anywhere and isn’t going anywhere: His lungs are knotted rope catching on jagged rocks. “Hi yes, what’s wrong?”

I tag: @queen-of-demons-and-hell, @leyontheway, @stillneedsmorekissing

ahhh thank you for the ask friend!

♥ favorite fan artist, then vs now

used to be viria but then I got into jercy and now it's @joleanart through and through

◎ how many times have you reread the series/certain books?

I think I've read them to completion twice? Possibly three times? But I'm always going back to read my notes and highlights

☂️ the pjo moment that never fails to break your heart

since I answered Zoe in the previous ask, this time I'll say Charles Beckendorf's death because that was just wholly unnecessary and it hurts me to think about.

✴ what is your pjo collection?

Like if I have any merch? I don't have anything "official" but I did get a hoodie made that says "seven half bloods shall answer the call" and I have a jercy painting that's the sun and the moon with their names in the middle.

⊕ favorite “historic” fandom moment

okay y’all I am for real exposing myself so hard with this one 😭 but:

okay I don’t know who’s been with me since last year (or even before then) but I had started giving out feelers for a jercy mafia AU in may/June ish I believe (it was right around the time EotH and Kingdom Collisions were finishing) and people were interested. my best friend and I were going through a mafia au phase so it was very much obsession fuelled at the time. anyway this is the last instalment I managed to write for it before apparently abandoning it :/ the other three are around 2-2,5k words each but this one is around 100ish or so? yea I literally have not touched this one since June last year eh heh😵‍💫 sorry y’all

so umm? I don’t even know what that is?? It’s 172 words and here’s the first 45: Does the ocean start with a push or a pull? Did someone drag it forward to meet them, did the ocean push away? Did those waves crawl to meet you, did you herd it back to its body? Percy Jackson is terrified of the world.

please I have no idea???????

this one I started in the car while I was waiting to pick up kids I nanny but I kept getting distracted by messages and then I had to go so it’s literally 35 words and all I can remember about where it was supposed to go was that it was Percy centric and Jason was involved?

I obvs can’t say anything about this one but um this is due in less than two weeks and I have frankly written a disgracefully small amount :( this is the one I most urgently want to get on! I just gotta finish my applications first

again I’m going to be really awful and not tag anyone because I’m just not brain-enough to do that right now. but please my lovely writers, use this as a reason to tell us about all your WIPs and consider yourself tagged by me <3

I hope the week is full of wonder mwah!

hiiii lovely!!

I always take forever to respond to these because I’m like “oh boy I can absolutely list five things that sounds like fun” and then I see the next part and I’m like “oh dear I don’t have the spoons to send this to other people” and then I end up leaving it in my inbox forever because I can’t “fulfill” it the way it should be

but you know what I’m gonna do the best at what I can do and I’m going to leave the rest open to anyone so, five things I like about myself:

1. my smile

2. the way I write party/dance/club scenes

3. my ability to say the alphabet in a bunch of different ways

4. how open I am to trying new things, whether that be food, experiences, or people-related stuff

5. my sense of humour

and to hopefully do something about the passing the good vibes along thing, please feel free (any and all of you) to add to this post (or make your own post) about 5 things you like about yourself! I’m always always always down for a little self-positivity <3
