    Summary

    “I–I see.” Percy felt at a loss for words. He never considered himself a victim of abuse, at least not by Gabe. His time with Gabe feels like a fever dream with how many other crazy shenanigans take up all his time and energy. Even back then, he doesn’t think he ever felt any sort of self-pity for his situation or considered it to be anything other than normal. The sky was blue, he was Sally Jackson’s son, and Gabe liked to hit him.

    Maybe he should revisit what he thinks is normal. His mother’s face flashes in and out of sight. The constant bags under her eyes. The smile that now looks less serene and more tired and forced. The now distant but once constant tension in her shoulders and spine.

    Maybe they both should revisit what’s normal to them.

    -

    While on their way back to Camp Jupiter, Percy begins regaining all of his lost memories, including some which he's buried deep under. But he's not alone, and Hazel and Frank are there to help pick up the pieces and make sense of it.

    Summary

    Hermes only hummed before bringing them back to camp. "I'll find a new restaurant for us to dine at tomorrow, don't worry. I'll see you tomorrow, whether you like it or not!" He sing-songed as he was heading back to his cabin, likely to see his kids there.

    "I don't even know why you did it the first time." He scoffed to no one, but he's sure Hermes heard him anyway.

    Despite only an hour had passed, the almost accident at the arena was at the back of his mind, like it had happened ages ago. Hermes walked away, the sight of his back reminding Percy of how he's still in the same spot, him always in the same position while the others around him moved on.

    --

    Or, how lunch with Hermes snowballed into something bigger, including helping Percy heal from the cost of being a hero.

    Summary

    Nico was already set on not going even if they did have a change of heart, what with Jason being told by Eros one of his deepest secrets and the awkward air every time he met Leo after his death stunt. But hearing that Percy had defended him even when he wasn’t there made him feel a little giddy inside. The empty apology he thought he was given turned out to have substance behind it.

    -

    Nico knows how uncomfortable other people are when they're around him, even if the only sin he did to deserve it was exist. He makes peace with it-difficult but he did. Percy resolves to stand by his side however, which leaves him stumbling at Percy's unwavering confidence.

    Summary

    “You mean to tell me you became a god simply because you… grew out of your mortal body? Am I hearing you correctly?” Apollo asked incredulously.

    “Yup.” Percy chirped, gesturing for him to readjust the reigns.

    “And your first instinct is to run away on your own and help out children and demigods all over the world, while also grappling with the fact that you’re some sort of prophecy god with absolutely no help, not even from your father?”

    "Got it in one."

    "Why am I surprised when you continuously prove you're the most unpredictable person, god now, I've met in four thousand years?"

    -

    Following the Giant War, the twice Hero of Olympus was nowhere to be found. He ran from camp when he realized during the fight against Gaea that he had ascended. Percy Jackson was a god. He planned on avoiding the Olympians and other deities until he wanted to become a part of the divine court, but his plans changed when he stumbled across a sun god turned mortal, who was on his own journey. Whether that change would be a good thing, he didn't know, but he was going to stick around anyways to see it until the end.

    Summary

    “I said I want you to take me on tour, just the two of us, since you apparently have no problem with a private service.” With a smirk, he took Percy’s hand in his own and intertwined their fingers. “I’d free up my schedule if you asked, Perseus.”

    Embarrassingly enough, Percy couldn’t really find a proper response that wasn’t useless sputtering. Even worse, he felt his face heat up in a way it hasn’t since before he and Annabeth split on good terms.

    Just like the first time Apollo crashed into his life, he decided what was going to happen with a sort of hapless chaos he wielded effortlessly but left everyone else wrong-footed. “It’s a date then! I’ll see you Saturday at 5. Dress sharply!” He sing-songed, his presence suddenly gone as he walked away without a second glance, leaving Percy dazed and reeling at the loss.

    --

    Percy decided to take a year off before he enrolled in courses at NRU, but a certain god won't let him live quietly by himself and has taken a particular intense shine to him, and now he doesn't know if he wants to keep the god away or as close as he can get him.

    Summary

    Nico was born with a trident tucked away in his inner elbow and he hates it. He hates his soulmate mark just as much as he hates who it represents.

    There was a time when he thought his soulmate must have been handpicked just for him, just like in the fairytales Bianca loved to read. They must also love Mythomagic just like he does. He could collect the Hades peraphilia and his soulmate could take the Poseidon collectibles and then they would live together forever. It all made sense in his ten year old mind.

    And then Bianca died. And then he ran away as the son of Hades. And then Percy was the prophecy child. And then. And then. And then. He was born with a constant reminder of everything he couldn’t have, and he accepted it.

    -

    Everyone was born with a mark somewhere on their body, giving them a little clue to who their soulmate was. Nico came to terms with the fact that he could never have his and he convinced himself he was fine with it. It's a shame Percy tries to prove him wrong.

    Summary

    It was one of those days where time moved like honey, and the stickiness of the humid weather was counterbalanced by the chilly breeze. Piper convinced her to take a break–read: Piper took away all her pens and quills and stone tablets and carvers–and she’s been trying to not worry about anything else other than when the next time she’d be able to lay in her bed again.

    There weren’t many people left in the area save for some families trying to make use of the last hour of sunlight. Some of the younger children of legacies have been practicing with weaponry they find in the armory whenever they could, even when they shouldn’t be.

    That’s when the wind shifted.

    -

    Or, four times Annabeth took a knife for Percy, and one time he returned the favor.

    Summary

    Apollo had walked in the cafe not expecting anything other than his usual and maybe a bit of careless flirting. Maybe he’ll even entertain someone flirting back whom he knows he’ll never call back.

    He never expected to see Percy Jackson again sitting at one of the tables.

    Percy’s rarely seen nowadays, usually sticking in his father’s temples. Everyone knows he’ll never take up Poseidon’s–and now Triton’s–wishes on becoming immortal but he likes to indulge in them anyways. Apollo was turned away when he tried seeing Percy after their break up, Poseidon not allowing him any sort of entry.

    --

    A conversation between old lovers and new strangers.

    Summary

    Sometimes, on days where he’s feeling especially moody and lonely (a god’s feelings are both grand and tumultuous–something he didn’t miss when he was Lester), he wonders what Lester had that Apollo doesn’t. Why Apollo the god was so much more inferior to Lester the mortal that the moment he got back his immortality, he lost Percy’s eyes on him. The despair of being seen as something less than when he thought he had actually improved was almost too much sometimes.

    Those thoughts are always followed by rage at being cast aside, at being treated so casually and somehow preferring a fake mortal over himself in his true form. If he doesn’t want him as Apollo, then he should have never seen him as Lester. His possessiveness always rears his head however, and the fact that he felt some sort of connection with Percy makes him want to selfishly hold on.

    --

    Apollo doesn't know why he's been snubbed by Percy ever since he became a god again. Doesn't know why Percy hasn't given him the same unwavering belief that he gave Lester; why Percy's taken to just treating him as casually as one would to a mortal, but he doesn't care, not as long as he can have his eyes on him.

    Summary

    Apollo couldn’t believe his luck. He made one comment about how all of the Olympians dozed off every time Athena had something to report on in the council meetings, and now he’s stuck proctoring detention the day before the winter solstice.

    But, the worst part about this detention period is that only one kid in the whole school managed to land himself in detention today, so he’s required to stay behind as well.

    The kid wasn’t even entertaining. He came in exactly when the bell rang, picked a seat next to the window and put his head down. Apollo sighed. ‘Percy Jackson’ was the name on the roster. It’s his first time seeing the kid, but he’s heard enough about him from the other teachers to know Percy’s usually got more spitfire than this.

    --

    When Apollo decides to take up teaching at high school because he feels an unusually strong pull there, he never expected to run into a long kept secret-one that could change the trajectory of human history. Too bad Apollo wants to keep him to himself.

    Summary

    Perseus.

    You are our final hope.

    The fate of Olympus rests with you.

     

    If Perseus couldn’t do it in his prime 100 years ago, with all of his memories and all of his allies fighting by his side, what chance would he stand now? He was just as much of a ghost as the land was. Everyone had died. All the champions and many of the civilians and innocent people who had no involvement in this war. Even he was on the brink of death, to the point where he had to be taken to the Shrine of Resurrection. Why was he chosen to survive? What purpose could he still have left if he failed the first time around?

    -

    Woken from his 100 year slumber healing the wounds from a battle he can't remember, Perseus comes back to a world that is still fighting the same battle he lost, only now he has no one by his side. He's tasked with fighting the same battle that had killed him, and saving the prince that was the only thing standing between Kronos and annihilation, and accepts the challenge if only because that's all his body remembers.

    Summary

    Years after the last war, Percy's been going through some changes- divine changes. It wasn't until Apollo recognized what was happening and told him the news.

    He was ascending. Ever since Tartarus, it's been sitting under his bones and has just begun manifesting in him. Now he's faced with the choice of either dying before the process finishes and stay mortal, or live and become a god.

    It's too bad Apollo looks at him like he's already dead.
