Summary
Sometimes, Clarisse still feels like she can't breathe. Tremors settle in her lungs then, a bloody battle she fights all on her own with every breath. Sometimes she thinks she's choking on Silena's blood, and the image of her beautiful, burnt features is etched into her mind like little else.
She always ends up with Percy. Maybe because he's easy to be around now – probably because he understands. He understands what it's like to not be able to sleep. He knows what it's like to watch everyone laugh while the war still rages on in his heart. He knows what it's like when he feels like too much blood is on his hands and clogs up his throat.
People think they're strangely close now. She's just tired, and Percy is too.

Summary
Sometimes, Percy feels like he's floating.
Not flying. Flying gives him hives. Sometimes he feels like he's floating, in a space where all of his life disappears and dissolves into nothing. He isn't sure if he should enjoy it or not, because he feels so empty some days, and so hollow it hurts, but for some time he can forget who he is and what he feels and how he's killing himself today, just for a while.
His mind is messed up. He's not sure why he's stuck on step one, forever, just repeating himself. He's not sure if he can handle anything else.

Summary
"Hey, Seaweed Brain?"
"Yeah, Wise Girl?"
"You won't die."
Percy blinks. His eyes are a bit too hollow for her liking. He blinks again, swallows, and repeats, "I won't die."
He looks at her, and a huge smile lights his entire face up. "I won't die."

Summary
His father will always be with him. Whether it be in the water that he drinks or the blood that courses through his veins or that look on his enemies' face as he tears them apart with Ares' red staining his sight like blood. His father always has his hand on his shoulder, never making his decisions, never intervening with his plans. Only there to save him if (when, inevitably when) he goes too far. It's lovely, to know he has someone to soothe him, to adore him, to hold him even when he's a monster.
Then again. He expected nothing less from the Father of Monsters. Poseidon has far more monstrous children than him in the end, he supposes. He is just another beast born of poison and sea foam. Maybe that's why Aphrodite likes him so much. They're not so different in that way.
The Olympians are his family. His blood is rushing through his veins crimson red, but he was born with an idea of gold splattering across the ground, gold spilling through his fingers. He was born with gods to his mind.
