You blink, your brain taking a second too long to process it. "She drugged you?"His golden eyes flick to yours, sharp, something almost dangerous sparking behind them. He huffs a laugh, dry, strained, like he's hanging on by a thread. "She called it a 'gift,'" he mutters, rolling his shoulders. "Said I was taking too long to make a move." His breath hitches, his chest rising and falling too quickly as his gaze drops-trailing over you like he can't help it, like he's starving and you're the only thing that could ever satisfy him."So..." His fingers twitch again, and when he looks back up, his pupils are so blown out that the gold is nothing but a thin ring around the black. "This is me. Trying to be good." His jaw flexes. His breath is shaky."---Or, Hermes takes an aphrodisiac from Aphrodite and neither you or Hermes can help yourselves with the consequences. [Cross-posted on Wattpad: @tomialshrike-]…

The silence that enveloped them was oppressive, dense like the fog that clings to the forest floor at dawn, obscuring everything it touches. Elkwind felt the tension coil tighter within her, a rigid knot of muscles poised for confrontation. Her piercing blue eyes, usually so vivid and alert, seemed to cloud over with a storm of emotions-betrayal, sorrow, unresolved anger.She should have been firing questions, demanding answers, but the words stuck in Elkwind's throat, lodged between the need to know and the fear of what the answers might do to the fragile bridge they were tentatively reconstructing. She couldn't bring herself to shatter the quiet, not yet, not when it seemed so precariously close to breaking on its own.Then, Mothcatcher spoke-a whisper so soft it might have been mistaken for the sigh of the wind through the birch leaves."I promised..."---Or, where Elkwind has waited for six moons. Alone.…

"You were a princess. A princess behaves. So, you pressed your lips together until they were thin and pale, nodded stiffly, and let the weight of his words settle over you.Still, as the servants poured more wine and the conversation turned to other matters, you couldn't stop your mind from wandering. Somewhere across the sea, a boy you'd never met was being told that you would be his bride. Was he just as disgusted? Just as helpless? Or was he laughing with excitement, eager for the day when he could claim his prize?The thought made your cheeks burn with something that wasn't quite anger, wasn't quite embarrassment. Whatever it was, you didn't like it."---Or, where you are betrothed to Prince Telemachus of Ithaca.…

"We're not friends," you snap, narrowing your eyes into a glare sharp enough to pierce stone. "And stop calling me that."He tilts his head, his curls catching the faint, flickering light of the soul-lamps nearby. "Calling you what, darling?" he asks, his voice smooth and lilting, every syllable soaked in feigned innocence.Your teeth clench so hard it's a wonder they don't crack. Heat rises in your chest, crawling up your neck like an itch you can't quite scratch. His smirk only deepens, clearly reveling in your irritation, and you have to fight the urge to hurl the pair of gardening shears in your hand at his insufferably perfect face."---Or, you are the immortal servant to Hades and Persephone, and Hermes cannot help himself but to get under your skin.…

"They'll take more if we don't stop them now." Her voice was low, edged with warning, like the first distant rumble of an approaching storm. She turned her blue eyes on Mothcatcher, searching her face for agreement-for anything other than that same passive neutrality. "You know I'm right."Mothcatcher didn't meet her gaze immediately. Instead, she let out a slow breath, her whiskers twitching as though she were choosing her words carefully. "I know you think you're right." Her voice was soft but firm, steady. "But going against Cedarstar won't solve anything."The words struck Elkwind like a bramble to the chest.Her head snapped toward Mothcatcher, ears flicking back, eyes narrowing. "Then what will?" she demanded, her voice sharp as claws.Mothcatcher didn't answer.---Or, what happened before ScorchClan's founding.…

"But now-now Telemachus is here. His hand doesn't grip, doesn't force. It hovers by your cheek, his touch so light it barely brushes your skin, as though even that might be too much. He waits, his breath shallow and steady, as though the world might come crashing down if he moves too soon. There's no pressure, no force, only the quiet assurance that this moment belongs to you and no one else.The contrast is stark, a chasm between what was and what is, and it makes your chest ache with a strange, bittersweet relief. You look at him, truly look at him, and all you see is patience and care. His expression is open, unguarded, as though he's laid himself bare before you."---Or, where you share your wedding night with Telemachus.(This oneshot is part of the 'Amaranthine' universe, but it is not required to read it - it just adds context.)…

Clearing your throat, you forced your attention back to the ink and needle in your hands, grateful for the excuse to look anywhere but at him. You dipped the needle into the small pot of ink with deliberate precision, the soft clink of metal against glass grounding you."Okay," you said, your voice steadier than you felt as you gave him a quick glance. His eyes met yours, steady and trusting, and for a moment, you forgot how to breathe. You forced yourself to look away, focusing on his arm as you brought the needle closer. "Hold still."---You give Percy his first tattoo.…
