I call upon the fan fic writing gods to bless you with the perseverance to finish one of your unfinished drafts.
May your fingers dance along the letters upon your device with ease, may the devil of distraction stay far from you, and may your work not need much editing.
I pass this blessing upon every fan fic writer out there.
Sleepy bird love is the best kind there is.

I love how the PJO fandom just accepted the fact that Percy had a crush on Luke
Some Lukercy headcanon, please? I'm literally dying for this ship.
these are in my(mod abbey’s)luke returns au, a few years post-canon
they register high on the gaydar; it’s amazing this relationship was ever a secret. it’s not like they’re constantly pda-ing, but no straight guy would ever be caught looking at his bro like they look at each other.
luke ruffles percy’s hair a lot and makes like he’s being teasing but actually he just loves percy’s hair and touching it
they ended up sparring together a lot. being a natural with a sword is great until you realize it’s hard to find a real challenge who isn’t your childhood mentor/archenemy
percy did not cope well with the return of The Crush From Hell
luke did not cope well with realizing he was falling for someone who has every reason to hate him, and so tried what he does best: repress until you want to scream! and he succeeded for a while but when they’re practicing he slips into instructor mode and forgets he’s not touching percy ever, at all, 100% no, and critiques percy’s form from right behind him, touching his back and arms and waist and generally ensuring percy didn’t remember jack shit of what he said
that said, a lot of their best bonding moments happen at night. neither of them sleeps very well, so they end up talking a lot. it’s how they initially opened up to each other. percy found him after a nightmare and it started a conversation that lasted until they were both too tired to talk coherently.
it was fun explaining why they slept together when annabeth came looking for percy the next morning
the best at flirting in highly inappropriate times

you know what’s even more fun than explaining to your ex that the two guys she’s been attracted to in her life are falling for each other? telling your iron-willed protective shotgun-having mother that her beloved son is dating someone who tried to kill him approximately 1,957 times.
and luke gets it, he really does, what he did warrants more shit than sally could ever give him. he wants to take it calmly, like a hero would, but at the end of the evening, he’s just sitting on the fire escape, thinking about how he promised he would do everything he could to keep percy from becoming him, and isn’t risking corruption by proximity kind of breaking that promise? or at least fracturing it?
percy sits next to him, arms resting on his knees, until he starts talking, and when he’s done, lets out a long breath.
“y’know….my mom once told me my heart is always in the right place. and you know what they say about good intentions, but i trust her. i trust her to know that it’s a good thing, so she trusts me.” he bumps luke’s shoulder with his. “give her time. she’ll warm to anywhere i put my heart.”
Let’s review.
YEP.
NOPE.
Yuh huh.
Nuh uh.

Wade: Peter, will you go out with me?
Peter: Sodium.
Wade: What do you mean ‘NA’? I thought you’d say Potassium!
Peter: …You learnt chemistry jokes?
Wade: And I learnt pick up lines! You’re Copper plus Tellurim!
Peter: Cu… plus Te…
Wade: ;)
Peter: I take back my Sodium. Potassium, Wade, Potassium!

Cable: Whatever you’ve raised, he’s made a monster.

Gather round kids while I explain this manipulation tactic that men perpetually try to use and why it’s bullshit.
If someone is openly showing interest in you by making disparaging or disappointed comments about your age, they’re trying to put you on the defensive. This guy wants me to try to quell his discomfort, to bring up that I’m only a month shy of 20, etc. - he wants me to try to prove myself to him, that I’m mature and adult enough for a man like him.
His goal is to establish a power imbalance right off the bat. If we were to date, I would constantly be on the defensive, constantly striving to be an equal, constantly trying to prove my “adult” credentials. Anything he says or does or wants from this point on that I object to would just be seen as a strike against my age, proof that he was right and that I’m not mature enough for him. This is how SO MANY men pressure younger individuals (primarily women and girls) into situations and relationships they aren’t comfortable with. If he truly thought I was too young for him, he wouldn’t have messaged me. This is a very calculated move, and it’s fucking gross.
Adult relationships with age gaps are completely fine, but only if all parties view each other as equals. If someone is trying to set you up in a way that ensures that’s never a possibility, run far away.
