Cru (pronounced crew), is seen as cold and distant by his dorm mates Jacob Carter, Echo Rivers, and Kaelan Rhodes.            Cru made the mistake of loving the wrong person and hasn’t forgotten. How could he? They were manipulative and smart. Smart enough to know how to convince me that I could be loved. His name was Grayson Hoult. I wish I could’ve walked past him when I met him in daycare. We were eight when we met, his dad was in prison for abuse and he learned how to act. And damn could he act. His mother signed him up for a local theater group to get him out of the house. One day when he was changing into his costume, someone noticed the fist sized bruise on his rib cage and called CPS. His dad was caught attacking his mother and was sent to jail. Grayson was then put in my daycare and I was told to make him feel welcome. We were friends for five years before I figured out that I loved him. We would stay at each other’s houses staying up past midnight telling stories. Then I told him how I felt, I saw who he really was that night. I got my mom to sign me up for a swim camp that lasted all summer to escape daycare. To escape him.

That was three years ago and I’m sixteen now, and I’ve learned that everyone I let in leaves me. Every friend I make moves or grows distant. I’ve learned that it’s safer to leave first, or better yet, not let anyone get close to me. Every year since that night I’ve gone to the Nike swim camp at OSU which lasts the entire summer. When I was there I could forget the memories of him, could forget that I still loved him, could be someone else. This year my roommates are Jacob Carter, Echo Rivers, and Kaelan Rhodes. My assessment of Jacob is; soccer star, plays forward, makes the most shots out of anyone on his team. Lives in Vancouver, Washington. Is openly bisexual which means he likes girls and boys, no you don’t have to choose between the two. Here for the soccer camp. Sixteen. My assessment of Echo is; quiet, easily forgotten. Non-binary. Loves reading. Track star known for their sprints. Lives in a small town outside of the Idaho border in Oregon. Disowned by their father and avoids their brother who lives with their mother, lives with their aunt. Here for the track camp. Sixteen. My assessment of Kaelan is; his heart’s been broken for a long time. Pan. Hides behind laughter and smiles that are faked well. Center defender in soccer, mostly hangs out with Jacob. Here for the soccer camp. Lives in Portland, Oregon. Sixteen. My assessment of myself; cold, detached, distant. Won’t let anyone in. Won’t let anyone see or know who I am. Lives in the same town as Echo, but, I’ve never really talked or hung out with him since freshman year. Here for the swim camp. Best stroke is butterfly. Sixteen. Then there’s the empty bed that we’ve been informed will have an occupant in two days.

Note:

Mention of physical abuse and showing of physical abuse!

Also Echo only just moved in with their aunt at the end of freshman year.

I don’t believe that Nike does a track camp at all and they don’t do the camps for the entire summer there is a soccer camp but I don’t know how long it goes since I’ve only been to the swim one. I go to the overnight program which can go from July 6-10, July 13-17 for ages 10-18, maybe 9. The majority of this story is made up with me drawing from a few past experiences at the camp and with people I used to know. A great song to listen to on repeat for this book/story would be “people you know” by Selena Gomez.

Draco

My names Draco Malfoy and I hate my father, and of course you’ve heard of the boy who lived, Harry Potter. It’s been five years since we both started at Hogwarts. I’ve found all of the hidden places where I can shut people out, where I can hate myself in secret, where I can actually feel emotions, where I believe no one could love me, but being honest I do that last one every hour of every day. It’s been three years since I first started feeling emotionally shut down, not feeling anything but self resentment which I put in my heart to punish myself. Yet somehow Potter has brought some of my emotions back and that scares me. Emotions are dangerous and messy, they’re invitations to let someone hurt you. Then why do I want to give Harry Potter of all people that invitation?

Harry

Draco Malfoy is a mystery. I don’t like mysteries unless they’re in a book. Mysteries are dangerous because you never know what might happen. Draco is the ice king-cold, calculated, calm, and indifferent to everyone except his father who he hates with a passion. I’ve noticed that Draco might ride the Hogwarts Express to Hogwarts but he stays year round. He’s almost as good at keeping people out as I am at wearing the mask everyone wants to see, not letting anyone see, let alone get to know the real me. Always faking smiles, forcing laughter, and pretending that everything is okay. Then why is it that the more I try to tell myself that mysteries are dangerous, that Malfoy is the most dangerous one, that he’s the one I want to solve? That he’s the one  I want to see under the mask that I’ve so carefully crafted until it was flawless?

Devon

After Devon’s only supporter, his dad, died he spiraled into thoughts of negative self worth. When Devon meets Leo his entire world flips. Devon had convinced himself that it’s only safe to never care. But, what about the way Leo makes him feel? Will his new friend Leo be able to convince him that he deserves to be loved?

Leo

Leo’s life is perfect his mom accepts the fact that he’s gay and she doesn’t care at all, his brother doesn’t give two shits about it and is cool with it, and with his homophobic and alcoholic dad out of the picture he has nothing to worry about. When he meets Devon something in him changed. Can he convince Devon to trust him?

Cole

After his parents died in a car crash when he was two he was raised by his aunt. He became Devon’s best friend in eighth grade. In their freshman year Devon came out to him and David overheard and told everyone. What will he do if Devon finds out his biggest secret?

David

David’s dad just wants a reason to kick David out of the house. So as David faces getting kicked out of his house because of a secret he keeps he changes himself slightly. He becomes the school’s quarterback, he gets good grades except for math, and he dates the prettiest girls at school. So as the top jock he has to at least try and look homophobic. The only thing he can think of, pick on the first person who’s openly gay, that he can find anyway. When he overheard Devon telling Cole he had his victim. That would keep his dad proud and David in the house. David only cared about snowmobiling, getting into a good college, and getting a good job. At least he thought that was all he cared about.

Please keep in mind that this book is an LGBTQIA+ romance not made for homophobic or LGBT-phobic people. This book will have themes of death, sorrow, cussing, BL, slight homophobia, and underaged drinking. I don’t recommend the drinking or the homophobia it’s just for content.

Sarah remembers being reborn with amazing gifts. She knows why people were gifted their fantastic powers. She knows why women with powers were fewer and why their abilities were stronger. Sarah remembers how it all started. But she doesn’t know why she has other people’s memories.

Reality had cracked. With her found family, Sarah tried to stop an enemy unbound by time and save a girl from becoming something dark and sinister. All the while she was keeping darkness from taking over her own body.

Fate was against them and failure meant the end of the world and possibly the unraveling of reality itself. Were these things destined to happen or was there a plan even their enemy could not see? Sarah didn’t know if this was the end of her life or just the beginning of the next one.

I'm going to start putting my phan one-shots here !! :-)

(mostly) weekly updates!

Bella Cooper’s impromptu quest with the half-bloods to battle the Titan Perseus (who happens to be her great grandfather) tore a hole in the world she thought she understood. Four years later, and Greek gods, monsters, and superhuman abilities are all pretty normal for her. But when Bella has to start yet anothernew school, shit hits the fan pretty quickly:

Homicidal precalculus teachers, rampaging giants, and constant nightmares that prophesy nothing but bad news destroy any hope she had of staying out of trouble in her new school, and it’s all because she met a sweet girl named Acacia in her homeroom.

When Acacia goes missing, Bella is forced to team up again with half-bloods Nico, Annabeth, and Percy to find and save her from the dark depths of the underworld. To make matters worse, her empousa powers are beginning to spiral out of control, and her Greek ancestry isn’t what she thought it was. Now, Bella only has a mere few days to save Acacia, discover the truth about her mother, and prevent (or further) the fall of the underworld.

*** You are more than welcome to read this story without reading the first one (the only other work on my page lol), but you may be missing a few pieces of the puzzle. Nothing super major, you can still enjoy the story without it!

Disclaimers

All of these characters (except Bella, Claudia, and Acacia) are property of Rick Riordan and all that legal stuff. This fic doesn't contain any lore from Trails of Apollo or Heroes of Olympus, just the original Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. I put this as PG 13 because there will be violence, a little gore, and some swearing (depending on how pissed Bella gets... 🙃)

This is a poem about my friend who is a lesbian stuck in an abusive, homophobic, misogynistic home. Please give her some love.

Nothing is peaceful in a world that is always in a cycle of war. There will be twists and turns here and there; and nevertheless, the races there aren't going ot be nice to one another.Roa is the planet's name as its inhabitants are not quite sure about one another.Humans once ruled over this planet alone until they discovered creatures that could shapeshift with powers beyond their understanding. So, they took a friendly approach to them by declaring war with their capture methods towards The Folks. The war between humans and The Folks has been going on for centuries on end. Some hide while others fight for their entire race. However, it seems like they are on the brink of extinction with how much humans want to capture and get rid of them. Though, will that happen in the near future with the chosen folk for the job?

Read alongside characters who will journey through their stories with the main plotline riding along with them.

---

This story was created out of an old roleplay with an ex-friend years ago, I have replaced every of their oc with my own so it wouldn't be seen as copying their OCs. (and possibly redone the entire plotline in it that strayed so far from the original roleplay)

I hope anyone who comes across this finds this story interesting to their liking, if not, then it's alright.
