    Summary

    “I suppose I should have expected to see you here,” Athena finally says, when there are only a few feet left between them.

    Poseidon tilts his head thoughtfully, and holds up his free hand as though in truce. “It seemed most appropriate.” Athena’s gray eyes bore into the amphora in his arms. It’s beautifully and intricately made, depicting the triumphs of a life well lived.

    A hero’s life.

    “I thought you would return him to the sea.”

    ***

    Poseidon and Athena meet once again on the Acropolis for a different type of enounter.

    Summary

    Chiron had not once seen a god beg. But in the span of his eternity, he had learned that there would always be something new to bear witness to. He watched, transfixed, as the god spoke. His face was calm, unnervingly so, but in his eyes was a brewing storm. It was calm before the roiling tides swallowed whole cities, a fissure in the earth about to split in half.

    The winter solstice was both a time of celebration and trepidation. This year it seemed that Olympus erred on the side of the latter.

    He heard a shift in the throne room, a stirring that caught his middle and played with the beating of his heart.

    “Brother,” came a soft voice few had hardly listened to, that few had deigned to recognize. “Peace.”

    -

    Or, Percy has embraced old age. Poseidon has not.

    Summary

    He leans over and caresses his rosy cheek. The baby opens his eyes, and Poseidon must hold his breath, for he is met with eyes mirroring his. Gems. Green as the sea.

    “Little one,” he murmurs, “Let the waves rock you and fall back into Hypnos’s tender arms.”

    Poseidon watches as the baby yawns. A small sound that entangles itself within the strings of his heart.

    -

    Or, 5 times Poseidon wishes Percy would stay at his side and 1 time Percy does.

    Summary

    Jason decides to take his chance. “So what’s the deal with him, anyway? People here talk about him like he’s a god.”

    To his surprise, Clarisse snorts. “Something like that. Prissy’s an annoying one, that’s for sure. But I can’t deny that he’s powerful.”

    “Powerful how?” He finds himself asking, curious. Everyone keeps talking about Percy Jackson, but people have yet to tell him more than that he’s Annabeth’s boyfriend, missing, and a son of Neptune. No, Poseidon. For some reason, the names swirl in his head, jumbled. He jolts out of his thoughts to Clarisse’s sigh of annoyance.

    “What is it with all the hero-worship around here?” She mutters under her breath, and then huffs. “At least it wouldn’t go to his head.” She clears her throat, voice finally rising above a whisper. “Control-the-sea powerful. Create-a-storm powerful. Blow-up-a-toilet powerful. Blow-up-a-volcano powerful. That sort of thing.” She shrugs like she hasn’t dropped bombshell after bombshell, and Jason barely has enough presence of mind left to register that his jaw is hanging open. “Right–”

    Or, 10 times someone thought Percy was a god, and the one time someone knew he was (or at least something like one).
