a house, built out of stone
pairing: eren x mikasa, shingeki no kyojin
rating: tÂ
a/n: hereâs my (late) entry for @eremikaweeks day 4: anniversary. iâm still crying over em and the manga ending so pls enjoy some angsty eremika, thx
summary:  ⌠with a painful trick of her memory, she hears his voice saying, â⌠forget me, Mikasa.â She remembers the countless times heâs said it, with sorrow, with grief, with jealousy, but always, always with love.
ao3
âCause, I built a home
For you
For me
Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, itâs time to leave and turn to dustâ
â To build a home, Cinematic Orchestra
 Itâs in the little things that she does. Waking up to the sun streaming on her face, on sheets that are white with little pink painted flowers⌠alone. Itâs in the space that she walks from her bed to the kitchen, in their her little stone house, with the pots and pans that can serve two.Â
Every step feels out of place, incongruent, out of touch with the reality she was so sure of, moments before when she was nestled in her dreams. Her fingers trace the walls of stone, the little strips of concrete that hold it together as she remembers the days she spent building it.Â
(theyâd spent days building their haven, their escape from reality. Theyâd argued and bantered, made love on the floor of a house that didnât have a roof.)

Someone just brought up how itâs literally impossible for Bob to be alive in Tartarus and itâs a huge plot holeđđđđđ Rick really doing anything for a check LMFAOOOO NOOOOđŠđŠ
Am I the only one not excited for this Will and Nico book??đ I really want to be but noticing Rickâs mischaracterization for his major characters throughout the years just makes me really hope he finally leaves them alone. I mean there was already a decline with this characterization/writing in HOO. (Ex. Percy and Annabethâs trauma being glossed over like nothing happened, the ridiculous let down that BOO was, failure to establish powerful relationships between all the characters unlike in PJO, etc.) And I feel like it just got progressively worse after HOO. Donât even get me started on Demigods and Nachos and Trials of Apollo.
Overall I think Rick is great writer but heâs somewhat lost his touch with the original characters. And thatâs okay! I think itâs always awesome when he focuses on new characters and he can create new ideas and not be restricted by the characterization heâs forgotten about in the past. So Iâm all for Rickâs writing but please leave the OGâs aloneđ
Also apparently theyâre going back to Tartarus to rescue Bob????? So that was another fake out death just like Leo??? Literally ruins all the emotions after his sacrifice in HOH??? Mannnnn put the pen downđđ
PJO Fandom: âAnnabeth fears vulnerability and sees it as a sign of weaknessâ
Canon Annabeth: *bursts into tears multiple times a book*
skfjfjfkjkl i absolutely love when individuals in a relationship contrast in ways that produce harmony in their relationship if they figured out how to be together⌠take percy and annabeth for example. i could go into all the ways they fit each other using mbti analysis but thatâs a bit inaccessible so just in generalâŚ.. their strengths, shortcomings, and desires complement so well! annabeth has quite a visceral fear of abandonment and has developed a stubborn defense mechanism as a traumatic response to that, so sheâs deathly afraid of being vulnerable and equally clueless as to what to do when people are vulnerable with her because sheâs never had the opportunity to learn how to deal with that before, but here comes along someone who is just so unconditional and wholehearted and kind that he doesnât think twice to accept her and be with her for who she is and make space for her frustrations and her flaws and never utters a word of complaint or discontentment or irritation and is just so good and so open that even she is driven to change. like, heâs exactly the kind of person annabeth needs in her life to serve as a catalyst for her emotional growth, and i wish this side of their dynamic were explored more. she loves him because he makes her better. she fell for him because he makes her better. she loves him because being with him has allowed her to glimpse a life after healing, towards healing, a relationship that lasts, and she scarcely let herself entertain the potential of it because itâs so new and big and, worst of all, something that is terrifyingly possible. she kept resisting it because sheâs used to taking risks everywhere else but in her relationships with people and has no idea how to navigate these new feelings. he was a constant in her life and sheâs never had a constant before.
and then thereâs percy, who is rough around the edges but soft and steady at the core and meets people where they are and cares so much⌠meeting someone who has learned to put her defenses up as a default mode and who hasnât known much love or affection and it showsâin the way she holds herself, higher than she feels, full of emotion that she doesnât understand and doesnât know what to do with, someone who has only known impermanence and escape. he doesnât need to understand all of it to accept her anyway. itâs harder to see how annabeth impacts percy but itâs not every day you see someone who reflects in their composure the burden of having to grow up too fast and fall in love with that strength. itâs the platitude of âfalling in love because not despite of peopleâs flawsâ transformed into something real and palpable because itâs happening before your eyes. itâs just like percy to experience first love like that lol⌠honestly only someone like he can have the capacity for it. like i said, they complement each other through their contrasting points.
annabeth: fears vulnerability, doesnât understand it, thinks it is weakness (at least, she knows it makes her feel exposed and therefore weak), has never spent time in a substantial relationship her entire life, just needs to be loved
percy: just intrinsically has his focus on other peopleâs wellbeing, has spent his whole life in a very tight and intimate familial relationship that was his sole source of love and strength, grew up in an environment that probably made him determined to be a benevolent and compassionate person
they: fall in love
me:
We will finally progress as a society when yâall stop making Annabeth out to be this emotionally crippled person who needed to be saved by someone else
how is the original post âdraggingâ annabeth ???
Iâm sorry but writing how Annabeth is this âtrauma character who fails to understand emotions and is ridiculously flawed compared to her sweet, kind, and compassionate bf who swooped in to save herâ is not only false but insanely insulting to her character.

When are we finally going to be ready to admit that Percy can be such an asshole
Nauurrrr cause I could really write pages of his dick moments likeee.
-remember when he got soooo mad at Piper for just saying her dream and glared her down
-HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH CARTER KANE!!! YALL REMEMBER THEIR BEEF??? yeah he instigated that idc idc (the way Carter apologized and Percy literally jumped himđ) ((and then made him pay for their dinnerâŚ.I canât with him))
-he fucking hated Leo no one can tell me otherwise LMFAOOO
-he was a dick to Jason especially in the beginning
-didnât he physically drag someone in SoN?? PLSS
-when he choked Nico (this was arguably justifiable but still)
-the wonderbread moment yoâŚ.
-I know he has a lot of sarcasm moments and snarky lines but Iâm sorry if I was hearing the way he spoke irl, yeah it def gets to a point where he can just be so RUDE LMFAOđ
-HE CANT GO A CHAPTER WITHOUT INSULTING SOMEONE OR SOMETHING IN PJO IDC IF ITS COMEDYđ
-man thereâs so many moments that I canât even make a whole tumblr post about it
Percy is vv sweet and vv bitchy and angry thank you for coming to my Ted talk
When are we finally going to be ready to admit that Percy can be such an asshole
Annabeth stans are like "well characters are allowed to have flaws >:(" â like yes, characters having flaws is great, but if they're written as flaws. If the so called flaws are never so much as acknowledged as flaws within the narrative, maybe that's not the Deep Nuanced writing you all act like it is. "She's like that because of her trauma!!!1!" Maybe, but if a character treats people like shit because of her trauma and then never recovers from said trauma, that's not satisfactory writing.
The issue is not Annabeth having flaws or being traumatized or using unhealthy coping mechanisms or whatever. The issue is said behaviours being written as inherent to her character and not even being shown as flaws or trauma response, and her never developing to heal from her trauma or overcome her flaws. Rick never tried to make Annabeth get her shit together and become a better person because fans love her as she is and it gets him money.
Tell me you didnât read PJO and HOO without telling me you didnât read PJO and HOO
And Then There Was Us
*BOO SPOILERS*
My interpretation about what happens right after Gaea is destroyed. Enjoy!
âAnyone can slay a dragon âŚbut try waking up every morning and loving the world all over again. Thatâs what takes a real hero.â ~Brian Andreas
 ~~~
As Percy slays the last dragon, the sky lights up in a burst of gold.
He can feel the heat on his skin, and the power from the blast makes him stumble a few feet backwards. The Earth makes a feeble attempt to grasp him again, and for an awful moment Percy feels his boots sticking to the mud in the ground. But by the time he can register whatâs actually going on, the Earth has settled and he blinks back the bright light that sears his vision to see the carnage around him.
Itâs quiet.
Keep reading
Shower me with Percabeth fic recs, love :)

For @artemis-raeâ A collection of Percy/Annabeth set in canon universe. welcome back to the fandom! We missed you! Some of this fics were written in canon universe before the the last books came out, so now it can be also considered auâs. I didnât included any fic from @greenconverses because Iâve a feeling you have read them all.Â
Privacy by books4belle
âDo you know the best thing about living in Cabin 3?â Percy slid his cheek along hers and brought his mouth close to her ear so he could whisper the answer: âPrivacy.â Set between Last Olympian and The Lost Hero.
Things We Could Be by @rongasmâ
Three times that Annabeth is prematurely called Mrs. Jackson and one time that itâs long overdue.
Where We Go From Here by icy roses
How much of love depends on memory? Percy/Annabeth, post-TLH
Waiting for Tomorrow to Come by whispered touches
âLove is not knowing what you have until itâs gone.â Annabeth takes her time before she speaks, and âI love youâ is no different. But sheâll regret her silence. Pre-TLH through SoN. One-shot.
Something Blue by @starksgraceâ
Itâs five years after the Giant War and Percy has a question.
Rite of Passage by @ignitesthestarsâ
Annabeth and Percy have dinner with Sally and Paul for the first time after they get together.
After by @ignitesthestarsâ
Itâs like this every time. She can remember thinking, four years ago now, that she didnât know if it hurt more being with him, or without him. And every time the months and the distance stretches out a little further between them, she convinces herself that theyâre definitely better apart. That a scarred heart is better than an open wound with him lodged inside it.
And then they see each other again, and sheâs pitched right back into that uncertainty. Three and a half years should be enough to get over a boy, shouldnât it?
A story of how Annabeth and Percy fell apart, and what it took to piece them back together.
Stained by @ignitesthestarsâ
Annabeth has never baked cookies before. Percy decides to rectify this.
The Perils of Being Alone by @ignitesthestarsâÂ
Set in some indeterminable post-Heroes of Olympus time. Annabeth and Percy realise that, for the first time in a very long time, theyâre actually alone. With no chance of being interrupted. Banging ensues. (Explicit)
Table, Interrupting by Burst-ofSILENCE
Like many other things, itâs Percy and Annabethâs fault why the Hedge hologram on Buford keeps yelling âPUT SOME CLOTHES ON!â Or: a continuing saga on how Percy and Annabeth canât make out in peace. Percy/Annabeth
Witnesses by AnnabethLuna
Percy and Annabeth probably thought they were being subtle, but everyone knew about them even before they did. These are their âmomentsâ from the perspectives of the people who just happened to be watching. Viewpoints include Beckendorf, Silena, Malcolm, Michael, Rachel, and more.
A Kiss for Luck by @suchastartâ
Itâs all you can think about this summer: kissing Percy Jackson. Which is a total waste of energy, because there is entirely too much for you to think about. Kronos. The Titans. Mount Olympus. And while youâre trying to focus on all these other, more important thingsâlike not dyingâPercy Jackson walks around with his stupid, clueless face.
canât you feel my heartbeat by @seaweedbraensâ
trusting is hard for demigods, and to love is even harder. percy and annabeth donât have it easy. [bits and pieces from all the books :: percy/annabeth]
Tattoo by ricecookerwritings
She had disliked the tattoo from the start. It ignites their first argument since the reunion, but the patching up opens her eyes to new things. Set during the first day of MoA, all the culture clash, misunderstandings and comfort fluff I personally missed in the book. Bonus dash of Hazel/Annabeth friendship. One-shot.
All These Versions by conniehdez
They were together. They were alive. They were happy (ignoring the angry horde of Romans). Isnât that what they were in all her scenarios? Together, alive, happy? Annabethâs wasted plans to say âI love youâ.Â
Everything by conniehdez
This is better. This â lying down on Percyâs bunk in Cabin 3 on a lazy summer afternoon, him hovering over her as though scared she might break, kissing to their heartâs content â is so much better. This is everything. Pre-TLH, Percabeth.
may the bridges i have burned light my way back home by @lesbabethsâ
Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.
par for the course by @lesbabethsâ
She kind of wishes she could look away, but thereâs nowhere else to look, because thereâs an the elderly lady in the aisle next to them looking for soap who keeps scoffing at them and shooting them scandalized looks, and sheâs also fairly certain that if she spares a glance at Percy, sheâll spontaneously combust from mortification and all that will be left of her is a sizzling pile of ashes on the floor.
Sight of the Sun by @psychohannahlyze
All things considered, Annabeth figured she did an okay job as a young mother.
Annabeth Wins a Bet by @bananannabeth
Not for the first time in her life, Annabeth wondered if she was the butt of some cosmic joke. Sheâd barely gotten into her story (which was definitely going to win the bet, come on) when her cousin Magnus interrupted her with some nonsense about Norse gods. Because of course the Chase family wasnât complicated enough as it was.
Impossible Year by @bananannabeth
Percy and Annabeth lean on each other to recover after Tartarus, but as the rest of their friends slowly settle back into a semblance of normalcy they realise that maybe theyâre holding each other back from healing. Scared of being too codependent and hurting in ways she doesnât want Percy to see, Annabeth makes the painful decision to take a break â a choice which impacts Percy, all of their friends and herself in ways sheâd never imagined.
Annabeth Loses Sleep by @bananannabeth
Annabeth was exhausted. She was trying to do way too many things at once, and she barely had time to catch her breath. So when the opportunity to get to sleep while her watch still said PM rather than AM came up, she was so grateful she almost burst into tears. But of course her one night of rest with Percy had to be interrupted by her butt of a cousin.
Itâs A Long Way Down by @romanitas
Five times Annabeth and Percy held hands.
Eighteen Years a Hero by @romanitas
Itâs Annabethâs birthday. Everyone celebrates.
Transplant by @romanitas
Percy tags along with Annabeth on a visit to San Francisco. After the war, after Tartarus, interacting with her family is mildly surprising and weirdly grounding.
Provisional Education by @romanitas
Annabeth doesnât know how to drive. Percy does. Itâs not often heâs the one giving lessons.
Flaws by @romanitas
Percyâs always been angry. Tartarus just made it harder to hold back.
Breaking and Entering by @romanitas
Sneaking in and out of Annabethâs dorm is always an interesting and challenging experience, for all parties involved. Especially with nuns.
And It Scares You Being Alone by @romanitas
Rachel Elizabeth Dare storms into Percyâs life at just the right moment. For him, at least, as he clings to his mortal side, leaving Annabeth alone with her thoughts on the demigod side. And okay, maybe sheâs avoiding him, too, but mostly sheâs just tired of losing people. Set somewhere vague in that time period between Battle of the Labyrinth and the Last Olympian.
Academics by @romanitas
Learning how to kiss is itâs own kind of homework. Probably best done away from the company of parents.
Actual good first-time college student advice:
Wear jeans/pants that âbreatheâ and bring a sweater, even if itâs scorching hot out, until you know which building blasts the AC to 60 degrees F and which feels like a sauna
Backpacks with thick straps are your friend! Messenger bags are cool and all but if youâre commuting with a lot of stuff, symmetrically styled backpacks are better for your back
You are your own person and you can walk out whenever you need to or want to, so long as youâre not disrupting the class. Meaning you can go to the bathroom without permission, take a breather if youâre anxious, answer an important phone call, etc.
If you donât like the class on the first day, if you can- DROP THAT CLASS AND TAKE ANOTHER ONE! Itâll only get worse from there!
If you can, take a class outside your major; itâs a good break from your expected studies.
You are in charge of your schedule. Your adviser and guidance counselor is there to âadvise and guideâ but if you donât like certain classes and you can substitute for others, thatâs your choice.
Consequently, if you are changing anything drastic in your plan, talk with your adviser and instructors.
Pay attention to your credit hours and grades. Â Never leave this to the last week of school, you will be sorry and stressed beyond belief!
Unless itâs a lab book or otherwise specified, go to the class for a week or so before buying an expensive textbook. Some classes, while having it on their required list, do not actually use the textbook a whole lot and you might find some of it scanned online. Rent if you can or buy used online (schools actually donât give discounts). Use your best judgement on what you think you need.
Tell the people who go up to you selling or advertising things you are not interested in that you are in a rush to class and donât have time to listen to them. Itâs less rude and theyâll leave you alone.
The smaller the class, the better it is to have some sort of acquaintanceship with a couple classmates. They might save your ass if you are absent one day or need to study. And talking with them makes the time go by faster without it being so insufferable.
You donât need to join a club or sport, but internships are cool and useful!
If you can afford it, take a day off once or twice each semester if youâre too exhausted. Just be aware of what you missed and if it was worth missing!
Your health is the most important, this goes for mental health too!! Note: College-age/upper teens is when mental disorders like depression and anxiety are most commonly diagnosed. Most schools have therapy services, especially during exam time. Look into it if you need to!
Communicate with your professor if you are having trouble with something. Anything.
Eat and stay hydrated. Bring a water bottle and snack to class.
All-nighters will happen but never go over 36 hours without sleep.
Itâs going to be hard and there will be times you might think about giving up. This WILL happen. You just have to make sure what youâre doing isnât making you absolutely miserable and/or there is something rewarding and positive to look forward to at the end!
I did none of this and it bit me in the ass every time so this is EXCELLENT ADVICE.
ADDITIONAL ADVICE
Donât let a mental health day turn into a mental health week because you will be so screwed.
Pay attention to the syllabus and do not lose it. A lot of professors put all of the assignment due dates in there and ONLY in there.
If your school has blackboard or moodle etc. CHECK IT. a lot of professors will only post certain info there and not talk about it in class
Check your student email account weekly. A lot of it will be unimportant junk but sometimes itâs the only way professors will communicate.
Check your student email multiple times DAILY.Â
THANK YOU. Iâm so glad i have resources like this queued up in my âcollegeâ tag bc honestly i was so stressed before
Advice from someone who really fucked up their freshman year:
READINGS ARE NOT OPTIONAL.
I REPEAT. READINGS. ARE. NOT. OPTIONAL.
Put them in your schedule, read BEFORE class. And summarise it. For bonus points, come up with some questions about the text and go introduce yourself to your professor either after class or during office hours, and ask them about it. This will make them much more likely to remember you in a positive light (and possibly bump your grade up if you hit a hard patch.)
Your library will have a copy of your textbook. If you cannot afford to rent it, you can go to the library and borrow it from the front desk for a few hours whenever you need it. It is there for you, okay?Â
SO DO YOUR READINGS.
When planning out your schedule, make sure you have a plan A and a plan B. Classes fill up fast so itâs better to have a back up plan.
Reblogging this because when I went to college back in the mid-90s, I could have used all this advice. I was the first person in my family to go to university, no one told me any of this, and the internet was not really A Thing yet. (For perspective, there were an entire two computers on campus which had access to the World Wide Web, because it was such a new concept that demand for it was low.) This would have been relevant then and itâs relevant now.
Email your professors ahead of class or ask on the first day if the current edition of the textbook is required!
Our universityâs campus bookstore required the professors to ârequireâ the most current edition of the textbook, which was mostly a scam!
Unless thereâs a workbook in it, most professors are fine if you go back 1-2 editions because thereâs usually only minor changes. Instead of buying a $300 brand new textbook, you can likely buy it for $8.00, and I recommend www.thriftbooks.com as a resource
