    Summary

    Percy was seven the first time he woke screaming, the taste of blood in his mouth and the howling of hounds resounding throughout his head. His mom rushed into his room to cradle him in her arms. When she asked, he bit his tongue, told her only of dogs chasing after him. He didn’t tell her of the boy with the goat legs, the pain of being torn apart, and the warm light that engulfed him at the end. She held him until he fell back asleep. Elsewhere, a young daughter of Zeus made her final stand.

    Percy was nine when he opened his eyes, phantom lightning crawling over his skin and the echoes of a woman’s last moments still ringing in his ears. If he closed his eyes, he could still see the twin onyx eyes staring back at him.

    When his mother told him the story of his namesake, of Perseus the son of Zeus, he didn't tell her he already knew. Had already seen a mother and her infant set adrift in a raging storm, watched a boy travel far and slay monsters for the sake of his mother’s safety. But he didn’t tell her this. He was young, but he knew already what happened to people like him. People who see.

    He was no prophet; he would not suffer their fate. He would bite his tongue and let the prophecies pass him by.

    Summary

    Living well is the best revenge, so they say. In Jake's quiet fury at the dismissive, heartless way everyone spoke of his brother's death and the complete lack of empathy he found at every turn and corner, he decides to find a way to live the best life he can possibly conceive, with the opportunity Tommy left behind for him: a fresh start on a new world... just not exactly the way the RDA vultures meant.

    (In which Jake Sully pulls the ultimate con on every person who failed to treat his brother's memory with respect, and every person who failed to be kind to their fellow man.)

     

    ((Previously 'From the Ashes.'))

    (On hiatus, not abandoned.)

    Summary

    Having to deal with the consequences of a goddesses actions against a child of the sea. Had been bad the first time for all of them. And Triton hadn't wished it on anyone else.

    To have it happen almost a second time through one of her children. Was proving to be just as painful as the first.

    Even if this time it was his half brother instead of his child.

    Or

    When the consequences from the Capture the Flag game are more severe because Percy does nearly die against the Ares cabin. It brings back some bad memories for his Dad's side of the family due to Annabeth's involvement. And as a result ends up gaining a very (in Percy's opinion.) overprotective immortal family in the process.

    Summary

    Poseidon is the father of monsters, so where did that leave him? He had beaten, killed and trapped so many of his half siblings, but in never mattered because they were monsters.

    But wasn't he?

    Everyone did keep saying he was his father's son, his copy...

    Or:

    Octavian makes a comment about Percy that sends him spiraling through his mind, things change and he finds himself stuck in Tartarus with no one... He will do what it takes to survive.

    This involves Percy going through Mark of Athena with a god, a new ex and a lot of trauma
