I realised I have never drawn Percabeth alone, so here they are!

Scene from my smartwatermagic fic absinthe

Perseus ushered them both to the table, pulling the chairs for them. Annabeth snorted, untying his 'Fish the Cook' apron before Perseus dived in for a kiss.

Alabaster is enjoying the pancakes (and the view) from out of frame <3

Titan army? Waging psychological warfare on one (1) Thalia Grace by bringing her thought to be dead brother to the truce talks? More likely to happen than you'd think.

I kinda wanna know about the shared trauma Annabeth and Alabaster both have from Luke and how they deal with it? How does Percy deal with them going completely insane just thinking about it? Does Annabeth ever realize she was used by Luke too (I feel like in a way she was)? I just kind of wanted you to explore this a bit more.

Ohohohoho -> you can hear me wringing my hands and cackling if you squint lol. This is going to get long so buckle up folks, I am breaking out the "•" format again

(CW:suicide mention, it's about Luke's death)

It's very important to start that the love was there. Luke loved them, they were his little siblings. It didn't change anything. It didn't stop the hurt. Perhaps it made it worse. But it's very important that the love was there.

Percabeth didn't talk about Luke after Manhattan, not really. That off-hand comment about his flying shoes in Cotg was the first time either of them mentioned him out-loud.

It's Alabaster coming into their life that opened up that baggage along with several more they were happy to ignore until it eventually burst.

I think it would be good for both of them when they come to the realisation that Luke wasn't evil and he wasn't a can-do-no-wrong-hero either. (He is still the hero of the prophecy of course but yeah, you all get it)

He was just a traumatised kid who grew into a traumatised young adult and caused the deaths and traumas of dozens of other kids whether he wanted to or not.

Just Annabeth realising she was the same age as when Luke took her in when she took the sky from him. Just Annabeth having a talk with Thalia, learning about Halycon Green, and how Luke changed after that, and how he again changed after that visit to May and the confrontation with Hermes. How he seemed to intentionally provoke and go after monsters. Just Annabeth mourning the loss of her dagger and her family. Luke has been dead from the start. Thalia will never be the cool 12 year old that took her under her wing again. Annabeth will out-age and Thalia will out-live both of them.

Just Alabaster realising hey, maybe Luke wasn't this almost god-like being he idolised. That maybe Luke himself didn't believe in half the things he promised. That maybe it shouldn't have been his, a 14 year old's, job to coax out a drunk Luke from the corner of Othrys he backed himself to. That maybe he wasn't wrong to think that he was used as an emotional replacement for Annabeth.

If Alabaster spared a drachma for every time Luke called him Annabeth— well no matter. He was dead now. (He would do anything to hear Luke's voice again, even if that was by being called Annabeth.)

But Luke didn't only hurt them, did he? Like I said he was their big brother. Just the memories of Annabeth staying up full night with Luke, him shielding her from the cold and the harpies as they sat on Thalia's branches. Just Luke protecting Alabaster from bullies who thought picking on the weird scrawny minor god kid no. 1263 would be fun. Luke who saw a little seven year old and took her in, promised family and tried to protect her to his best. Luke who killed himself for her. Luke who tried to maintain the familiy bonds he had with these children that followed him to the Titan army. Luke who tried to keep Alabaster away from Kronos as much as possible, and yet still promoted him to his second in command anyways.

Does that make up for the hurt? Does it matter he loved them if he intentionally or not got them in the middle of the crossfire? That's for Annabaster to decide.

They do miss him though. Once the gates open they can't stop the incoming emotional flood. Sometimes they curse him out, sometimes they cry after him, sometimes they sit in silence of their overwhelming feelings. Sometimes... well, Percy doesn't know, but it's better than Luke being a constant topic of their relationship arguments he guesses.

And it's the way Alabaster still talks like he's trying to imitate Luke: half successful silver tongue, laced with magic and the passion Luke used to have at the very start of the war. It's the way Annabeth paces around like Luke did when he was stressed, all lost in thoughts at picking at her elbows. It's the way all three of them are bone tired, and world weary and if they look at the mirror they just see Luke Luke Luke—

Some nights, when none of them can sleep, under the soft light of the moon and a cozy blanket, with hot drinks in their hands and kisses shared they talk about just how easy it would be to stage Olympus's downfall, how fast, how it would hit them before they can even suspect a thing... All hypothetical certainly, just whispers between lovers.

And Percy. He doesn't even have half the memories his partners have with Luke. But three of what he has stick out the most: Luke teaching him sword-fighting, him siccing a scorpion on little 12 year old Percy with no hesitation and him making him promise to not let things happen this way again as he bled out to death in his lap.

Olympians may have not went through their promise. Percy sure does intend to keep his own one though, gods be damned.

He'll just settle for being there for his partners for however long they grieve, though.

First, that was very poetic, get peer reviewed.

Second; the Au's main premise is basically Kronos winning the war as obvious by the name, it's as much as @phoenix--flying s au as mine tbh (hi phoenix!) Tw for torture, murder

Ethan almost falls like he did in canon during the throne room fight but Percy catches him last minute, gets pulled down too, Grover catches him, also gets pulled down, Annabeth catches him—

They all fall off, leaving Kronos alone with the thrones. Luke dies for what's basically a second time pretty painfully, he burns up to the point not even his soul goes to the Underworld as Kronos reaches full form.

Ethan, Annabeth, Percy and Grover get saved by Blackjack. Kronos destroys Olympus, Apollo and Artemis run away to Delos, Hera runs to Greece and Hades, Persephone and Demeter hole themselves up in the Underworld and barricade it so the Titans won't reach them. Demeter also takes in Hestia there. Atlas is still under the sky due to Kronos being mad at him for the TTC fiasco.

Ethan. Ethan my boy. He thinks everything is his fault. Obviously, he should have died during BoM and the trio shouldn't have saved him. If he died Kronos wouldn't have won etc etc. He also can't stop thinking about Al and if he even knows who he is anymore.

Alabaster, with Ethan gone, has to fulfil the role of two people. He's both Kronos's bodyguard and general. The Titans often forget (or don't care) that he's mortal so he spends so many time not eating, drinking, sleeping. He's bone tired. He's getting overworked to death. Part of the reason he occasionally uses a cane is the fatigue.

What happens to the other demigods? Well, the Romans actually won their side of the war before the Titan army at Manhattan marched back to Othrys. The demigods that have not been captured are getting hunted down by... ding ding ding, Alabaster!

Alabaster's powers are near unmatched, no one who has been his target has ever lived. Well, Kronos asked him to kill Ethan and Lou a few months into Ta's victory. Alabaster refused. Kronos tortured him, thus breaking Alabaster's belief that they're the heroes. Kronos won the war, he has no reason to keep Alabaster loyal. He needs obedience now. Besides where else would he go? Manhattan is a ghost city, mortals are getting killed. It's not like Alabaster can run to the people he's hunting down and seek refuge, he's trapped.

The current timeline is approximately 3 years after TLO, putting Ethan and Alabaster around 19 old of age. Nico is the prophecy child. Also because of the names have power thing, Alabaster has a lot of nicknames he's called by the former campers: Monster of Mt. Tam, the General, Kronos's attack dog... Take your pick.

There's more, like, a lot more. So if you want more info feel free to shoot an ask

Titans win au or smt

Warning: a 13 year old dies

Alabaster shifted from one foot to other, trying to relieve the ache, not that it did worked. His vision was getting blurry, his spine was on fire. He hadn't consumed anything for almost a day. Perhaps more? The council meeting had started somewhere around mid-noon yesterday and he hadn't left the side of Kronos's throne since, hadn't been allowed to. He had no idea what the time was. They were still arguing.

His mother sent him a brief sympathetic smile from upon her throne and went back to ripping apart Hyperion with her words. If he didn't know it would anger his lord, Alabaster would hold onto the throne's armrest to stop his legs from wobbling.

His head snapped up as the throne room's doors bursted open. A scrawny child with torn clothes and a thin jacket stood at the entrance, cursed loudly when they realised where they got in. Alabaster's throat constricted; the child couldn't be older than thirteen, might even be one that he had took captive, the faces had all started to blur together months ago, he wouldn't know. They probably found an opening to escape and took it, and gotten lost due to not knowing Othrys's layout.

'Run' he mouthed. Above him, as the top of his head barely reached the edge of the armrest, Kronos shifted. Alabaster stilled as he felt a hand placed on his head, standing at attention.

"What’s the saying, what the cat dragged in?" Kronos hummed, "An intruding rat."

The kid made a peeping sound, clearly terrified, eyes darting across the council members frantically. They held their dull blade between Kronos and them, chest raising and deflating rapidly as they breathed out loud.

"My lord," Prometheus raised his hand, "if I may?" He didn't wait for an answer.

"If we can not call mortals rat.. Of course some of them may be quite like them but I'd want to inform that I've worked hard on them and—"

Prometheus shut his mouth as Kronos raised his hand. Alabaster sighed quietly at the relief of the pressure on top of his head being gone. How nice of Prometheus to draw all the anger at him in his attempt to boast about his creations. Hopefully Kronos would remember that and take his frustrations out on Prometheus this week? Call him selfish but Alabaster didn't have a desire to inquire his lord's wrath.

"I am not a rat!" The kid cried out. "I will- I will get out of here and we will end your reign!" They pointed their blade straight towards the main throne.

An intense dread filled Alabaster up as Kronos tilted his head. "How cute... How naive. Demigods," he sighed, " always the same. Always acting like I didn't warn them: Pledge loyalty or die."

A few of the Titans chuckled. Alabaster's gut twisted as the kid inched on themselves, trying to back away, only for the doors to close with a crackling slam.

"You're a demigod!" The kid begged to him. "Why are you doing this? Why are you helping him?"

The kid was young, as young as his littlest sister.

They wouldn't be the youngest person he had killed.

"Torrington!" Kronos bid, waving a hand as if bored.

Alabaster pulled his sword out of his scabbard, watching the kid's eyes grow wide with increasing terror. He took a step forward—

Alabaster stared at the dark marble floor mortified as he collapsed to all fours when his knees gave out. The low chattering cut off. He could feel the scrutinising eyes on him. Kronos broke through the silence.

"Up." He commanded, like you would to a pet.

Alabaster helped himself up with the intricate carvings alongside the throne, but shamefully swaying on his feet even after that. Kronos clicked his tongue, and pushed him down to his knees with his two fingers. Near the back, Atlas howled with laughter. Alabaster stayed put, bowing his head, averting his gaze to not see the pure unadulterated disgust in the kid's eyes.

A gust of power breezed through the room. After a loud thud, and the following silence, the argument over the sacrifices re-began. Alabaster lifted his head slightly to see the kid's crumpled body near the wall, laying in a pool of their own blood.

At the sound of finger snapping, Alabaster rose to attention once again.

They had won the war, both of the camps were gone. His mother finally had the throne she deserved. He was as miserable than he ever had been.

I'll elaborate if someone asks or maybe later but for now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Damn I love shipping Alabaster with the boy who is within a year of his age and has way too high of expectations set on him and who desperately wants the minor gods to get respect even if he has to do it himself and who's also a son of a god of justice and has a complicated relationship with said god who never really cared about him even when he died.

Alabaster "wants Percy Jackson to suffer for the death of his siblings" Torrington: I have no idea where Lamia got the every demigod will pay for the death of my children thing.

Hecate, who would pull down whole Olympus on the Olympians's heads if Alabaster wasn't spared: Such a mystery it is, hmm?

Sometimes I want to make Ethan come to the realisation he wouldn't go down the elevator when he's taking it up to Olympus with Kronos

And sometimes I want to play with the idea of him knowing that his eye is only a down-payment and the real price is his life the moment he signs himself away to Nemesis
