Two-fifty stories of Luke and Percy

Two fifty ways for the two of them to be

For the son of Poseidon and the son of Hermes

One takes this challenge with the intention to please

Some live in canon and some in AU

Some leave you in glee, others leave you confused

So come and read on but beware, innocence

For some are not moral and rather dark in a sense

ALPHA SET

#01 – Comfort

A snowstorm is raging and he's cocooned in thick blankets but it's only when he's pulled to a sturdy chest and hands enclose his form does the storm fade into nothing.

#02 – Kiss

It would've been awesome to say that our fist kiss was great but the harsh reality was messy, uncoordinated, and awkward, no thanks to some people who wanted to play matchmaker – I'm looking at you, Beauregard!

#03 – Soft

Their sword practice meeting was the last activity for each day, scheduled so that they'd be free to hang out afterwards – just the two of them, lying side by side on the soft grass by the lake.

#04 – Pain

Break-ups were understandably painful but did she really have to leave a burning hand-print on his cheek?

#05 – Potatoes

Percy hated kitchen duty, right now he was peeling potatoes for dinner and boy does it suck, the only bright spot in his predicament was when that cute blond waiter winked at him as he passed by.

#06 – Rain

It was raining – black clouds, thunder claps, lightning, the works, but Luke was adamantly standing outside the apartment, shouting his apologies to a stunned teenager on the fourth floor.

#07 – Chocolate

"Holy mother of god – they totally have blue chocolate!"

#08 – Happiness

He had just led the football team to their third-year-in-a-row championship win but it's not until he sees that single face in the crowd beaming at him did the victory really sink in.

#09 – Telephone

Percy practically lunged at the house phone when it rang; Luke had promised to call him the moment his plane touched down in Connecticut.

#10 – Ears

It took a lot for Luke to blush, Annabeth would know, and seeing the older teen color deep red up to his ears at the arrival of one Percy Jackson in a suit struck her as a reference for future blackmail attempts.

#11 – Name

"Morning everyone, Mr. Quintus called in sick today so I'll be his substitute until he gets well – I'm Luke Castellan, by the way, nice to meet all of you."

#12 – Sensual

Their audience of campers was stock-still and wide-eyed but the two sparring demigods only had eyes for each other, wearing identical intense expressions as their weapons met with a metallic clang.

#13 – Death

Luke breathed his last, ice-blues holding onto sea-greens until the final moment.

#14 – Sex

"Now, son, I know we're not really as close as I would've liked but I think… I think it's time we had the talk."

#15 – Touch

There was a calloused hand on his mouth, a blade on his neck and a smooth, deep voice whispering in his ear, "Don't move and I won't hurt you."

#16 – Weakness

Percy wanted to keep being angry, he wanted to be livid, but one look in Luke's imploring eyes (why oh why did they have to be blue?) and his efforts were lost.

#17 – Tears

Sally Jackson quietly shut the door to give the boy some privacy; her son has never been the same after the defeat of the Titan Lord.

#18 – Speed

Luke smirked at him from the passenger's seat as he buckled his seatbelt, "Try not to crash my baby, okay, Perce?"

#19 – Wind

"Don't even try, Castellan," Percy called, not moving from his position at the ship's prow, the cool summer's wind in his face.

#20 – Freedom

When school finally let out for the summer, the prospect of freedom wasn't as exciting as it had been in the past years.

#21 – Life

An athletic-looking man with salt and pepper hair stood unmoving atop the old house, watching a young boy (and oh was he young, too young, much too young) dash away into the distance without looking back.

#22 – Jealousy

He should be happy for her, he knew he should, he'd known of Annabeth's crush on the boy (it was really rather obvious) but the moment the two parted and those sea-green eyes flicked impossibly straight at him, Luke turned and ran for it.

#23 – Hands

Nobody knew where they came from and the stories ran wild but one thing was certain – on the day after the summer solstice two boys washed up on the shore, completely dry, hands clasped tight.

#24 – Taste

Percy bit his lower lip, watching with eager anticipation as Luke bit into his mom's famous blue waffles.

#25 – Devotion

He was weak, nourished by the IV stuck in his left forearm, barely did more than breathe and open his eyes occasionally but he was alive and that was all that mattered.

#26 – Forever

They told him he couldn't run forever – what, with gods and half-bloods and monsters on his trail but he just grinned, an impish lilt on his lips as he turned away, "Watch me."

#27 – Blood

The sharp edge sliced his cheek vertically, drawing a hiss from the young man locked in chains but then his blue eyes widened in shock as a triumphant and cruel laugh came from the hooded figure with gnarled hands drawing back his dagger; golden liquid stained the blade.

#28 – Sickness

The rules were strict, their implementation even so, and in the very institution that claimed to purge their 'disease', Luke found Percy and fell in love.

#29 – Melody

Percy wasn't a bad singer but he's not a very good one either and the shower was apparently his personal stage, and Grover understood the woes of his best friend's teenage life (really, he did) but can't the guy please skip the sappy love songs?

#30 – Star

Camp was like a glorified high school, complete with the petty social hierarchy, and they would be the clichéd strata-breaking couple: the heartthrob and the loser kid.

#31 – Home

The younger man was busy typing furiously in front of his laptop with ear buds plugged in that he didn't hear the door open; Luke grinned, dangling the plastic bag in front of Percy's face, "I brought Chinese."

#32 – Confusion

So it went like this: Rachel has a 'complicated' friendship with Annabeth who has an unhealthy adoration for Luke who got dumped by Thalia who's in a hush-hush relationship Zoe who's best friend Bianca has a kid brother named Nico who hung out with the Stoll kids who were a little too close for brothers, if you know what I mean, according to Silena who is currently dating Beckendorf who was a good friend of Tyson who's half-brother Percy has been having impure thoughts about a certain Castellan.

#33 – Fear

It was a damp night, eerie noises reverberating all around them with the blood red moon watching overhead, their pursuer was close.

#34 - Lightning/Thunder

Behind Thalia, the clear summer sky became overcast in a matter of seconds, thunder rolled and lightning crackled as she stepped closer to the young man sprawled on the ground before her; talk about facing the exes.

#35 – Bonds

"Sorry, milord, guess we won't be reaching the next town before dusk," Luke winked at the dark-haired royal sitting on the stallion as renegades cloaked in black appeared between the gaps of the trees, curved scimitars poised to strike.

#36 – Market

As the dust settled, Luke chanced a peek, finding the guards running off in the wrong direction; he turned towards his four companions with a grin, "We're having breakfast today, kiddies."

#37 – Technology

Luke tapped impatiently on the desk, blue eyes trained on the screen; he was close to giving up when a window popped up on the bottom right corner, declaring stormbringerjr_percyj is now online.

#38 – Gift

Percy stared at the canvas in his hands, tilting it to one side and then the other before giving Rachel a grateful smile and a word of thanks; later, Luke would quizzically stare at the new painting on their living room wall for a full five minutes before sighing and moving on.

#39 – Smile

Once he had convinced his fellow seniors to back off, Luke turned to the harassed freshman planning to apologize only to have his breath catch when the greenest pair of eyes looked up at him, offering an indebted smile.

#40 – Innocence

He traced the boy's plush lips with his thumb, watching the pale eyelids lower to half masts as pools of green stared at him, transfixed and oh-so-willing but he knew better – he didn't deserve Percy Jackson.

#41 – Completion

There was a collective gasp and then total silence until warm strawberry lips finally relented their control over him – Percy blinked and right in front of him was a beet red Luke Castellan who calmly declared "I love you" on stage in front of the whole student body.

#42 – Clouds

The winged shoes carried Luke overhead and Percy wore a stupid smile as he watched the older teen's attempt to shape the clouds into words.

#43 – Sky

Sometimes, he'd look at the sky and wonder if someone was watching over him.

#44 – Heaven

Hermes looked up as a broad man with dark hair and deep green eyes walked up next to him at the buffet table; it was rare for the God of the Sea to look so awkward – "So, uh, you've heard of the, um, well, the engagement, yes?"

#45 – Hell

Nico di Angelo stood firm, blocking the entrance to the Underworld, his face unable to decide between apologetic, concerned, and indignant, "Go home, Percy, what happens isn't your responsibility anymore."

#46 – Sun

Dark sunglasses were perched on Luke's pointed nose, when asked, he would say that it was too bright outside but the Stoll brothers just rolled their eyes – yeah right, and Percy Jackson wasn't incoherent the whole afternoon.

#47 – Moon

A shadow blocked the moonlight and the young man looked up startled, knocking over the ink pot as he found a man not much older than he crouched on his window sill – the moon was directly behind this intruder, his bright eyes sparkling icy blue against the shadows on his face.

#48 – Waves

The smell of the ocean was a welcome change from the smog of the city, wicked waves rose and fell and he could see at least 3 surfers riding them; learning how to surf suddenly found a spot on his to-do list.

#49 – Hair

"Percy should get a haircut," Thalia pointed out one day, the aforementioned teen was about to protest when the freckly girl casually looked past him, "Right, Luke?"

#50 – Supernova

He could care so much less of any nature spirits that could be watching right now, all that mattered was Luke's touch and his talented mouth and gods yeah right there, keep doing that.
