KRONOS
TICK TOCK goes the CLOCK
my LORD you can try to STOP
but TIME is running OUT
he's your little puppet
you just keep pulling his strings
make him walk
make him talk
take over his mind and soul
it doesn't really matter anyways, does it?
he's a little itty bitty human
half-human
half-god
and the humans are beneath you
and the gods are just your enemies
it doesn't matter if you crush him,
does it?
so you break him
and you throw him away
(or, well, you were planning to
but then the heroes got in the way
and what you didn't know was that your puppet
wasn't just a pawn.
at the end he was one of them to)
THALIA
honestly, you don't even know anything when it comes to him
not anymore
he used to be an open b~o~o~k
you both were
you could read each other
and now—
you look at him
and those blueblueblue eyes
[you thought you knew who he was
maybe you knew who he was
you didn't know who he was]
because then you look at his eyes again
and it's years later
and everything has changed
and you know that it will never be the same
but you still hoped . . .
hoped that everything would be alright
that maybe without the light
the stars would shine
until you reached into the depths of his soul
into him
and you saw nothing
but GOLD
like a sun
setting across the sky
and like a star
he died
ANNABETH
maybe he was a brother
maybe a dad
maybe a crush
but no matter what you called him
[plenty of names:
evil :: traitor :: devil :: sinner]
he was always family
there's a rule, you know
family forever
it was a promise that you made
a long long long time ago
when you didn't believe in the monsters under your bed
when you weren't used to them inside your head
back then it was playing games on the street
back then it wasn't you and percy against him
it was both of you against the world
and you won the world
{but it wasn't the world you loved
was it?}
it was him
but the fates made you choose
*the end of the world*
*the end of luke castellan*
you made a choice
you wish you hadn't
PERCY
they always thought that you would do
you would defeat time
turn the clocks
on themselves
but it wasn't you
{{no no no}}
it was him
do you care?
really
do you?
maybe a little bit
but you're not going to show them
because you're going to try to be the hero
and heroes are STRONG
and so is he
and at the end you look at him
at his eyes
and you see blue
(you know that you were never really the hero)
(you don't really mind)
HERMES
they—
they think that they know
but they don't?
do they?
he isn't their blood
he isn't their father
you know he never really forgave anybody
he just trusted percy to change everything
you know that you'll never change
you're a god :: it doesn't work like that
you're going to be the same
for forever to come
seconds
minutes
hours
days
weeks
months
years
decades
centuries
millenias
#forever#
you wish you could turn back the clock
but you can't
and you hate yourself for it
(tick / tick / tick / tick / tick)
WHY WON'T IT STOP
LUKE
you don't know what you've done
and you hate yourself for it
it's just been a cycle
{a clock}
of mistakes
over
and
over
and
over
again
and you're sick of it
really really really just sick
you wish you could start over
turn back time
but you can't do that
((but if you could? everything would have changed))
/you would have told kronos to kick it to the curb
you never would have listened to the monster
who was destroying you
from the inside out/
~you would have told thalia that you loved her
with all of your heart
because back then you had a heart
you wish that you still did
you wish that she had been there at the end
you would have placed it right into her hands
but it just didn't happen that way~
**you would have told annabeth that she was family
and that maybe you didn't live up to that promise in the end,
but you still meant it
you want her to know that she mattered to you
till the end**
#you would have told percy that he was a hero
that it wasn't just you
he made a choice
he did a right thing
and he'll keep doing more right things
because if there's one thing you want be remembered for
it's being the one
who taught the greatest hero of all time
how to be one#
==you would have told your father to his face that you forgave him
that it wasn't his fault
that you were a bad son
all in all
you just have a really bloody messed up family
and the one who's the most broken?
you
it was always you
you're sorry
and you forgive him==
oh, it's a cold hard dead world out there
just a big chasm of darkness
and you're stuck in the bottom
you've hit rock bottom
his eyes were golden
your eyes were golden
but then . . .
at the end?
they turned blue
this an is going to be super long just so i can push this fic over 1k. ha.
sorry i haven't been updating lately! i got super sick and was only able to publish pre-written stuff. and then i had to take the dam sats. and then i got banned from my computer because apparently i'm spending too much time with devices recently.
which is so not true.
i hoped you liked this, it took FOREVER to write. i love writing luke freeverse. his character is just so heartbreaking and how he died HURT me. like, rick, couldn't thalia at least have been there?
GIVE ME THALUKE OR GIVE ME DEATH.
please please pretty please take the poll on my profile for the next rare pairs if you haven't already. i added some new options.
review below what you would think of a kronos x thalia fic. kronos x thalia. not luke. the basis would be that kronos is able to feel some of luke's feelings for thalia and starts to like her. meanwhile, luke is still trying to control his body. it would be a really messed up fic, but i'm sure you've all realized by now that i like writing messed up stuff.
