Devotional

Summary:

a drabble

Notes:

Rachel is over 18 in this fic - not that Apollo would care about mortal laws.

The lines of poetry are from “To My Mother” by Edgar Allan Poe.

Work Text:

After college one summer, Rachel Elizabeth Dare showed up at Camp Half-Blood pregnant.

“Interesting,” said Dionysus. “Still among the living, Oracle? Oooh, did Apollo brand you with a letter 'A'? I read something like that. His style. Dramatic.”

“Nice to see you, too, Mr. D.” replied Rachel, face neutral.

Apollo grinned. “No need for my jealous rage mode,”

"Because I feel that, in the Heavens above,
The angels, whispering to one another,
Can find, among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of 'Mother'"

“He's in a Poe phase,” Rachel said, as if that explained it all.
