so, i really, really liked this ask, and ended up kinda writing a short thing inspired by it, i’m probably going to throw it up on ao3 in a bit if i’m still somewhat confident about it (edit: right here). i don’t know if it’s any good, especially since i’m more than a little sleep right now and haven’t really edited it at all, but here it is:
“You know,” Percy says, his tone meandering– bordering on wistful, even, “I think I would’ve asked you to dance, that time in Westruun.”
Rather than doing what he’d hoped and be make playfully nostalgic by his reminder of a time bygone, Vex throws back her head and laughs loudly, as though they weren’t under the gaze of scores of attendees, all keeping a close eye on them, circling their way across the ballroom floor. “I knew you were looking at me, then!”

Percy
So I was going through my archive and I stumbled across this bit from his Suicide Letter:
“Erase my legacy wherever you find it, that silence would be the greatest eulogy I could ever hope for.”
We went from that … to what happened last night. He makes a clocktower. He never makes another weapon. He has kids. He starts an annual festival. He gets to LIVE. He has a legacy now, forever.
I’m sobbing again.
