    Summary

    “What’s Percy short for, Jackson?” Mr. D asked one afternoon where Percy had been roped into playing pinochle again.

    Percy looked up from his cards, “it’s short for Perseus.” Mr. D was apparently known for getting all of the campers' names wrong, so Percy thought it was a strange question. Percy also thought Mr. D was a strange man–god, whatever–though so he didn’t say anything about it.

    “Why did your mother name you that?”

    Percy just shrugged. His mother had never told him why she had named him what she did, and now he would never know.

    Mr. D looked at him for what felt like forever. “It’s an unfortunate name.” He finally said. Percy felt like he should have been offended–if only on his mother’s behalf, but there was something in Mr. D’s tone that made Percy not want to question it.

    He looked back down at his cards.

    ---

    Or, Percy resembles Apollo's long-lost lover, Perseus. This isn't a good thing.

    Summary

    "A short, plump man in a three-piece suit stood over a costumed child wrapped in a small boat chain. The man had a smoking revolver in his hand leveled at a spot right next to the kid’s ear. His ridiculous top hat sat low over his eyes, but his hooked nose was just long enough to jut past the brim. The lighting in the warehouse wasn’t great, but Percy recognized him immediately. It was the Gotham supervillain Penguin, and Percy was on his godsdamned payroll."

    Summary

    There was an inexplicable irony to it all, and Harriet would forever curse her ‘Potter’s Luck’ even when she was no longer a Potter in name. Divination was meant to be a joke of a subject, and had coincidentally been her worst grade at OWL level.

    Somehow that made her eligible to receive visions of a future yet to come in a world where there’s no other choice for her but to become a hero once more.

    (or; in which Harriet Potter is reborn as a daughter of Apollo, and all the subsequent consequences this brings.)

    Summary

    A few weeks ago, Percy Jackson found out about his uncle. His very, very rich uncle. Not that he planned to do anything with the fact he was technically related to the Wayne's, he has enough issues on his own. But, it is what tips the scales on moving to Gotham. He's got a stable job, daily IMs with his amazing girlfriend, and the occasional robbery, he was set. Mostly. Perhaps it becomes a bit of an issue when he gets shot in front of Red Hood and carried to a hospital. Bruce has a few questions about how this random child is his nephew, and why he didn't know of his existence before now. Oh well, nothing can go wrong. ..Right?
