    Alternate Title: let the sea take me and drown all my sorrows

     

    He’s sinking down, and down and down. His throat burns from the seawater aggravating the soreness of it. The water carries him down, or maybe that’s him. He doesn’t know. He lets the sea take him. Maybe she’ll give him the peace he’s never truly had. Maybe she’ll let him rest for once. So he drifts, throat choking and burning with tears, eyes focused on the dimming light above him. Maybe this was his fate all along - to be swept away by the sea to a place even his father can’t find him. And maybe, he’s okay with that. Maybe he can sleep now.

     

    Or in which Percy Jackson has given up, but Poseidon has not.

    Summary

    Darry didn’t register the way Pony tensed until he was already reaching for his left sleeve. He pulled at it without a thought—then Pony’s hand came up abruptly and stopped him.

    It caught him off guard. A simple, “What are you doing?” left his mouth as he pulled the sleeve the rest of the way up.

    And the moment he did, he froze. His brain didn’t process what he saw for a moment.

    Oh.

    Pony’s wrist was completely covered in burn marks.

    But not the same marks from the fire in Windrixville—not wild and uncontrolled like some of the scars he had from the burning church.

    These were clearly from cigarettes. His cigarettes.

    Oh.

    Or: Ponyboy’s been hurting himself, and Darry finds out. A confrontation ensues.

    Summary

    Caine has an idea to strengthen friendships and resolve tensions between the members of the circus. What is his idea you may ask? To play a definitely not seven minutes in heaven-inspired game! Because when has shoving two people into a tiny closet ever been a bad idea?

    When Pomni and Jax are picked to go first, they’re not exactly sure what to do.

    They figure it out pretty soon though. ;)

    Summary

    Pomni visits Jax often.

    The time she spends with him has become something sacred — a silent ritual that everyone in the circus has come to understand and respect without question. After one of those visits, she speaks with Caine and, for the first time, opens up about the last interaction she ever had with Jax.

    What starts as a quiet confession begins to reveal something unexpected, stirring in Caine a fragile, nearly impossible hope: that there may still be a way to bring him back.
