    Bookmarker's Notes

    This series was life changing. I found it when I was at a low point. I was drowning in shoulder devils and didn’t know how to cope. Sometimes you just need to use the lessons your favorite characters are getting in therapy until you’re able to find yours. I read the chapters of Star light star bright sitting in my therapists parking lot as they were published. I found joy where I previously only had darkness

    So yes I panicked when I realized I hadn’t bookmarked the series.

    Summary

    "Thank you," Percy said, accepting the tea gratefully. He wasn't a big tea person overall, but his stepmother had a very good knack for it. Godly power, or whatever. "And thank you for not hating me anymore. I know you aren't thrilled about my existence-"

    "No need to thank me for not being Hera," Amphitrite dismissed. Percy took a sip of tea. "That is what you meant, isn't it?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. For once, Percy learned from his mistakes and stayed quiet, though he did give her a bashful smile to confirm the sentiment. "Hm. Well, either way, I owe you thanks. Not many children would agree to spy on their father for me."

    Percy put the cup down. "I'm not spying on him," he reasoned. Amphitrite scoffed. "I just happen to be in many of the places he is when he's in the mortal world." A long pause followed, and Percy rolled his eyes. "Yes, he was seeing a mortal woman. Her name is Lea."

    "You owe me twenty of your mortal dollars, child."

    Percy bitterly slapped the paper bill on the table between them.

    Or

    Amphitrite has an odd quest for Percy. Strangely enough, it might be the only quest Percy has actually enjoyed.

    Summary

    He heard the door open, “Andrew?” He heard Neil’s quiet question into the darkness.

    Great, he’s drunk enough that he’s actually hallucinating Neil into existence. How very sophomore year of college of him.

    At least Hallucination Neil can give him the comfort that real Neil can’t currently.

    or
    Andrew gets Drunk and Hallucination Neil takes care of him.
