    Summary


    "All her growth was the conveying of a corpse of hope."
    (From 'The Rainbow', D.H. Lawrence)

    This is a story about coming into one's own, a meditation on the twilight of girlhood and the violence of crash-landing into womanhood. Follow Hermione as she navigates through the quagmire: Saving the world, getting top grades, falling in love, lust, and a whole lot of trouble, and comes out of it hopefully (at least) partially sane.

    Summary

    no real plot, no real timeline. set before/after heroes of olympus or whenever your heart desires—i’m not here to disrupt your headcanons. this is a slow, realistic build: two teenagers in love, figuring everything out for the first time. it’s awkward and sweet and hot. annabeth learning the one place she likes giving up control. percy being the quietly powerful sweetheart we know and love. it’s a character study, kind of. mostly just them being very, very them. messy, fumbly, tender.

    Summary

    “I come here when I have nightmares,” Percy said casually, kicking his legs in the water.

    That wasn’t a secret; everyone in camp felt the tremors in the earth when he had bad dreams.

    The kid looked up at him with wet eyes. “What do you have nightmares about?” he asked, his demeanour hesitant but the question itself bold. Percy smiled at him.
    -

    When Annabeth is ill, Percy wanders around camp all day. Sometimes he finds trouble, sometimes trouble finds him. But he's there to lend a hand to those who need it.
