    Summary

    Waking up in a hospital is always weird, especially when the last thing you remember is fighting Kronos in the throne room. Now here he lies, staring out of the window at the familiar New York skyline. Except, since when was there a Stark Tower in Midtown and why does he feel so... empty?

    Summary

    “You make it sound like you’re leaving.”

    Luke turned to look at him. Percy thought he was going to say something, but the older demigod just watched the Coke can slowly floating down the creek. His head was tilted to one side like he was listening to something in the distance. Then he nodded to himself.

    “I am leaving, Percy,” he said, turning his head to stare at him dead in the eye. “And I want you to come with me.”

    -

    Or: Kronos tries to recruit Percy from a smarter angle. Like always, Percy does his own thing. Everything changes anyway.

    (Updates are always inevitable 🙏)

    Summary

    Had he been his true self, in his real, immortal body, he wouldn't have had to waste so much time.
    Hestia would already have been safe, sitting in front of her heart and surrounded by those who loved her, where she'd chosen to belong the moment she'd laid her warm eyes on those destructive flames, choosing to love them as much as she loved her beloved, young siblings. And fire had become pureness, safety, home.
    Hestia had done the same thing with all of them, sick and evil creatures.
    But, while not even the Sky knew where Hestia was, they were sitting in a van, listening to (objectively good) mortal music and the never-ending conversation between Jason Grace and Perseus' mother.

    or
    Camp Half-Blood has dealt with worse things than thirteen confused, angry and immature gods, and they would certainly know how to deal with it: they're ready for whatever the world wants to throw at them.
    If only they knew that the mysterious thirteen demigods who almost got killed by a drakon two feet from the wards are their parents. If only.

    Summary

    Where does Percy belong if he's not saving the world? What could he possibly do aside from defeating monsters, titans, or holding up the sky?

    Why is the after so hard?

    Summary

    Pallas, Triton’s daughter. Pallas, who was Athena’s friend and sister-in-arms. Pallas, who Athena killed.

    “I’ve forgiven her,” she laid her bloody hand on Percy’s arm, “I bare her no ill will. It wasn’t her fault.”

    Or

    The feud between Poseidon and Athena, and subsequently their children, goes far deeper than a fountain and a tree.

    Percy dreams.
