    Summary

    Aphrodite had foreseen Paris' triumph – her triumph, in truth. The moment his eyes would fall upon Helen of Sparta, he would understand: this was the reward for his devotion, this was the woman the gods themselves had deemed worthy of a prince so favoured.

    She had not foreseen his rejection.

    Had not expected him to turn away from the prize she had laid before him, to spurn the very woman he had once coveted with all his heart.

    Nor had she anticipated that his desire would stray – not to another queen, most certainly not to Helen’s own cousin.

     

    Penelope of Sparta.

     

    (Or, after coming across a portrait of Penelope during his time in Sparta, Paris of Troy switches his kidnapping victim from Helen to Penelope. This proves far more detrimental than anyone could have imagined - a spark burning so bright that even the Gods on Olympus are caught in its flames.)

    Summary

    Two different universes: one with an abundance of children and treats them like mortals, and one without any yet would treat them as divine. A call that bridges the universes together, to give the children a choice.

    Abandon the life that haunts them at every step at the hands of neglectful gods? Or step up once more to save their home? Maybe the gods will learn to treasure what is within their grasp if it's taken away from them.

    Or which I take the concept of Broken Pantheon, timeline of The Sea is Wine Red, and the main conflict of Peripeteia then smash them together before seasoning it with my headcanons

    Summary

    THALIA GRACE trusts her stepmother as much as she does her birth mother—none. Since Hera took her and Jason away from Beryl, they have lived a charmed life on Mount Olympus. Just as things are starting to feel normal, her father’s symbol of power is stolen and then she finds out that her uncle has a son, mortal, like she used to be.

    ANNABETH CHASE has never left her home. She knows it's not easy being the beloved of a Goddess. Her mother's love is all encompassing, and more than a little terrifying. She's her mother's perfect daughter, but nothing she does is ever good enough. She knows all this but not why she must be hidden away from the world. When she sneaks out in search of answers, the boy she finds standing in the surf raises questions.

    PERCY JACKSON is lonely. He hates himself for it, but despite how privileged his life under the sea is, he's the only one like him. All of his parents have warned him of the surface world, instructed him to never swim there alone. One winter he makes a trip up to New York in hopes of seeing his mortal mother before her next visit. The girl standing on the shore is not who he expected to find.

    Or, the Gods are present parents, but that doesn't make them great parents.
