She’s a lovely baby, but she doesn’t belong to us. We can’t keep her.
TBH Percy wasn’t sure at all about keeping Elodie.

I like this edit. It reminded me of Captured Prince AU. And how – even once he’s started having smidgens of feelings for Elodie? Astor will have to cope with the sense that he’s not good enough for her because of his lost title/honor. Esp with moments where Elodie, being good hearted and kind of naive to certain things? Might receive gifts from potential suitors and fancy them (the gifts) – accidentally implying she likes the men in question and setting herself up as a fox to be hunted. And to look (in Astor’s eyes) like she’s slipping further away from him.
This applies to so many characters TBH? But I immediately think of either 1. Demon Hunter Marigold in Little Witch AU, telling Elodie about how she’s been sheltered for her own protection? or 2. Astor protecting …. anyone really. Like he does this. He tries to shelter the people he loves from the darkness of the world. Either Elodie in Aevum, or Little M or even Marigold in like uh…Accidental Revolution/GoT Adoption?
Belchite Night, by Carlos Santero
Parts of the entrance to the temple of the Night God in Night God AU? Imagining Astor laying there on his back, staring up at the stars – little suns that he rules over. ./ALSO IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE HE’S A MUCH MORE POWERFUL GOD THAN CAL BECAUSE ASTOR RULES OVER A SKY FILLED WITH BILLIONS OF SUNS JUST SAYING.
Her face and conviction gives me so many Marigold-talking-to-her-adopted-son-Astor feels. In GoT or regular. Especially when he’s going through growing pains and is maybe not entirely himself?
I wonder sometimes if he might feel bad, putting his mum through all this. If he might think about leaving / running away to make it easier for her. And if she were to catch him preparing or hear him say something to that effect?
