Sleep Masterlist

Echo? … Echo listen to me. Clone tactic analysis request… Echo wake up… searing pain in his head. You're okay, you're safe… need to get away from the pain…

“Echo you need to wake up.” Echo’s eyes snapped open and he gasped in air that he desperately needed. “Hey, it’s okay I’ve got you, you're safe.” He breathed heavily as he felt Keepers' warm hands firmly holding his own. He realized how tightly he was gripping her and forced himself to take a steadying breath. He eased up on his death grip and closed his eyes. She slipped one of her hands out of his to reach over and turn on the small lamp next to the bed. Its dim glow barely reached him but made his clammy skin look even paler than normal.

“Will you be okay if I step out for a second?” she asked quietly, gently massaging his now shaking hand. He nodded, opened his eyes and released her hand from his. She sat up and swung her legs off of the bed. He watched her silently open his door and slip into the dark hall of the ship. Vaguely he could hear water running, and then she was back with a small basin of water and a folded cloth.

This wasn’t the first time she’d woken him from his night terrors and they had a system. He sat up and pulled the thin blanket off of himself and swung his mechanical legs to the side. He leaned over, bracing his head with his flesh arm and let the shakes work through his body, reminding himself that he wasn't on Skako Minor any more.

She sat down on the floor in front of him and dipped the cloth into the water. “Can I start?” she asked quietly.

“Yes, thank you.” he said in a whisper. He closed his eyes as she began to wash the sweat from his face and neck. Her gentle touch helped to calm him and he started to count his breaths in order to return back to normal as she worked. Once she was done with his chest she cupped his face in her hand and he leaned into her touch.

“Am I okay to keep going?” He just nodded and she gently kissed his forehead before moving to sit behind him. He tried to focus on her hands and the cloth moving across his skin to keep his mind from wandering back to his nightmare hell. When she was done she wrapped a towel around him that he hadn't seen her grab before she took his hand in her own. They sat there like that for a long while, neither of them saying a word. She drew circles along the back of his hand as he slowly regained his composure.

“I’m sorry…” he began but she shook her head at him gently. He was relieved that she was so patient with him when he felt like this. He leaned his head on her shoulder and she tipped her own head towards his until they were touching. She didn't push, didn't try to hold him close or tuck him away. She was always so careful after a nightmare, always giving him his own space while still staying close.

Eventually he reached over and turned the light off before removing the towel and letting it fall to the floor, then they both laid back down, hands still clasped. “Thank you.” Echo whispered.

Keeper smiled at him in the dark and placed her free hand on his bare chest. “Any time.”

seriously though nothing can stop me from interpreting Real Life as canon just for how it progresses the canary curse situation. i'm obsessed with it. the curse gets broken in secret life and then in the very next "series", as much of a joke as it is, you get a situation like THAT. jimmy enters a mineshaft and everyone but him dies. not just his team, though obviously it's more significant because they were all red, but ren/martyn/skizz all get a mineshaft-death apiece. that canary's not doing his job anymore. he escaped his cage and made a break for the surface and everyone else is paying the price for it, and i for one could not be more proud of that little bird.

#that's not to say however that real life is on the same level of seriousity as all the other life games #the watchers grabbed all these players from the aftermath of the wildest party anyone's ever seen #the only ones not hungover were the ones drinking until dawn (now sleep deprived and plastered) #no one's going to have more than the vaguest memories of what the hell happened there #none of them sure if that was an actual Game or if some genius thought it would be a great idea to play-act one. while drunk. #the watchers know though. the watchers think it was funny. #wotcher talk #solidaritygaming #life series #life series smp #life smp #trafficblr #life series spoilers #real life #real life smp #rlsmp

okay but imagine. Thalia Grace, after Jason's death, in a fit of desperation, comes racing to Nico di Angelo, wanting him to summon his ghost, because she just wants to talk to her brother one last time. Before it's too late. Before he reaches Elysium, since the closest she could get to talking to her brother after he goes to the hero's paradise is through dreams, and that wasn't enough for her. Seeing his fragmented soul through dreams is not nearly good enough. She wants the message to reach him. The real him. Not a loomy remnant. She wants to apologise, as she feels her soul being hollowed out with guilt.

She should've looked for Jason, even after their mother told her that he's dead.

She shouldn't have been so busy with the hunters that she would have to cut their brother-sister conversation short.

She should've realised how much her brother craved her attention.

She should've come to the chb meeting that she'd promised jason she'd come to, she shouldn't have made her brother wait like a lost puppy.

The look in jason's eyes when she told him she'd have to leave was etched on to her face. Permanently scarring her soul.

She should've been a better sister. She failed him. She failed to make him feel wanted. She hoped Jason didn't face his death thinking that she didn't need him. Because Gods of Olympus, that would break her.

And she poured all of these gut wrenching thoughts to Nico, who suprisingly listened. Yes. Nico did resent Thalia for being in the hunters of Artemis, the same group that got his sister killed. But listening to Thalia pour her heart out to him, really hit a little too close to home. The daughter of Zeus seemed to echo a young nico, trying aimlessly to summon his sister's ghost to talk to her. They both had the same hollow red eyes, burning with hot tears streaming down, the same crease in the eyebrows, the same flicker of rage over their siblings's murder. At that moment, Thalia Grace looked as unthreatening as the king of all god's daughter could possibly look like.

But Nico was glad, that Thalia, atleast cared about her little brother to this extent. Up until this point, Nico had these lingering doubts if Bianca had really cared about him like this, she had dropped everything to join the hunters after all. Hearing Thalia talk about jason had healed his inner child. Maybe big sisters do think about their younger brothers, no matter how busy they appear to be... So he complied to her wishes. She deserved closure from her brother's death. It would do Jason some good too.

He poured all of his concentration into summoning the son of Jupiter, as Thalia anxiously chewed on her nails, pacing around the murky woods in anticipation. Until a wispy figure with rimmed glasses and neatly cropped hair, appeared in front of them.

"Hello, sis."

Nico di Angelo and Thalia Grace were more or less the same, when it came to wanting to make amends with their deceased sibling.

Except Thalia was the older sister who wanted her younger brother back, And Nico was the younger brother who wanted his older sister back.

#I sobbed while writing this btw #Like no joke. There are droplets of tears in my phone screen #I couldn't sleep last night #bc I just kept thinking abt how Thalia would've felt #To get her younger brother back years later only to lose him again #Tbh id be fucking pissed at the fates lol #But I realised that Thalia and nico really parallel eachother #But the roles are reversed #nico di angelo #thalia grace #jason grace #bianca di angelo #pjo #pjo fandom #pjo hoo #percy jackson #pjo series #pjo hoo toa #pjo toa #annabeth chase #hazel levesque #frank zhang #leo valdez #piper mclean

Sleep Masterlist

Tech was completely focused on his data pad, his fingers typing code into it as he planned out a new update for the ship's navigation controls. Everyone else was sound asleep in their shared quarters but he was determined to finish. He didn't react when the door to their room silently slid open and Keeper stepped in. With the glow of his datapad blinding him he wouldn’t have been able to see her even if he’d looked up. He only reacted when Keeper reached over his pad and shut it off. He blinked a few times completely blind and squinted up at her.

“Tech you need to sleep.” She whispered sitting next to him. He shifted slightly to give her more room, still squinting as his eyes slowly adjusted to the lack of light.

“I want to finish this-” he was interrupted by a loud snort from Wrecker as he rolled over in his sleep and knew it was no use trying to finish his argument as she gently pulled the datapad out of his hands.

“How many hours have you been awake?” She asked quietly as she reached over to remove his goggles. If it were any of the others he would have tried to explain his need to continue working but with her he knew his only option was to give in. He lifted his head up just enough for her to slip the straps off and closed his eyes suddenly aware of how hot and dry they were.

“What time is it now?” he asked her wearily as he heard her place his goggles down in the dark.

“Just past 0300.” she whispered, gently rubbing the deep indents on his face left by his goggles. He relaxed into her touch, letting himself disconnect from thoughts of navigation calculations and code commands. He loved how soft her fingers were against his skin and how comforting it was to just let her take care of him.

“I have been awake for approximately 42 hours.” Keeper sighed and continued to rub away the goggle imprints moving from his face to his temples and around his ears. Tech focused on the warmth radiating from her hands and let himself really feel how tired he was. He knew she was right and that he was just being stubborn but old habits were hard to break.

“You’re the medic Tech, you know better.” He didn’t respond aside from a quiet grumble. He was starting to drift off when Keeper stopped massaging his head and leaned down to place a gentle kiss on his forehead. He woke up enough to take one of her hands as she moved to stand up.

“Will you stay with me tonight?” He asked quietly. He was relieved when she didn’t answer but instead moved to lay down next to him, pulling his blanket up higher as she did. He wriggled himself down so that he could tuck his head under her chin and sighed deeply. She gently placed a hand at the base of his skull and pulled him close to her chest. Tech drifted into an exhausted sleep against Keeper, taking comfort from her gentle embrace.

I think a main reason that the homewreckers/clock duo/impdubs/whatever thing is so funny to me is that both of these middle aged dads just decided to rp a pair of smitten gay newlyweds and just went all in. Fully committed to the bit. They just did that. The personification of the ‘old man yells at cloud’ meme and that guy you saw at the home depot last tuesday picking up some plywood logged on to the block game and said yes we’re in love and kissing. And sleeping in the same bed btw. Living in a nice modern house with a decent sized swimming pool and an equestrian lifestyle. Marital bliss the likes of which most couples can only dream of. And for what. To get murdered by an unhinged Australian

I sometimes have extremely vivid dreams after experiencing insomnia, but nothing will ever beat the one time I dreamt of a gigantic mosquito floating above me like it was a dark souls boss to ask me with its booming voice “can I please suck you this summer” and I just nodded because what else was I supposed to do? Then it said “ok thank you” and gave me an awkward thumbs up
