    .

    Percy Jackson is convinced into a deal with Apollo.
    In order to gain a divine protection for Camp Half-Blood, Percy must allow himself to fall in love with Apollo, and vice versa - transferring to him his love for Camp, to allow the blessing to be carried out to maximum strength. To make this easier for him, Apollo offers him residence at the Sun Palace, ensuring their continued closeness.
    Before long, there's sunburns on his skin and freckles over his cheeks, and under Apollo's careful administrations, Percy slowly loses track of what remains when the sun goes down.

    Summary

    Living in Gotham wasn’t nice. It wasn’t fun. But Percy was alive, even though now he only had ten dollars to his name after spending some money on a box of plastic water bottles so he didn’t have to resort to drinking harbour water.

    Little by little, Percy began to get his bearings and become familiar with the city.

    Then the vigilante guy in the bat costume and his neon sidekick broke into the warehouse Percy was staying in.

    --

    Nine-year-old Percy Jackson runs away to avoid being killed by monsters like Sally and Gabe, accidentally winding up in Gotham. Bruce's "child with a traumatic backstory" senses activate and Percy gets adopted. It's a nonlinear story, with half of each chapter taking place before the Second Gigantomachy, and half of them taking place after, when Percy returns to Gotham.

    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

    “I would hardly call what I did kidnapping, more like adoption,” I said calmly. “He followed me around like a puppy. You ever try to lose a kid who’s decided you’re his person? Impossible.”

    Poseidon’s jaw tightened. The tide rose.

    “So no,” I continued with a shrug. “I don’t think it counts.”

    Percy Jackson wasn’t meant to be the world’s savior again, or locked away to be sharpened into a weapon. And he certainly didn’t belong to Poseidon. I found him when no one else was looking.

    "Which means he’s mine." I smiled.

    Summary

    Percy had agreed to spend the summer in Atlantis. His mother had been rather persuasive about it, and the growing tensions between him and Annabeth had convinced him that getting away from dry land and taking a step back would do him a world of good.

    He had simply forgotten that he had never spent more than two days in a row in Atlantis and that, as a result, he knew nothing about its customs and traditions.

    Not to mention that his father would probably see this as an opportunity to convince him to stay, this time for good.

    _______________________________________________________

    This story is an exercice, I'll post one chapter per day through the year !

    A few warnings before you read, I'm mainly basing this on the timeline of the books, not the series. Because of this, Percy is now legal, Annabeth is working on architectural plans for Olympus, and I intended to focus on the undersea family. There is absolutely no Annabeth bashing in this story !
