Summary
The MMA/Percy Jackson AU nobody asked for.
Percy 'Riptide' Jackson is on top of the world, a champion MMA fighter. He has the girls, the money, the fame, everything he could ever want, until a devastating knee injury sidelines his career. One downward spiral later and he loses everything.
Annabeth Chase helps run her mentor Chiron's small gym and is struggling to keep it afloat. Chiron wants to give Percy a second chance at getting back to the top of the mountain, but Annabeth is reluctant to help a loose canon like Percy. Both the gym and Percy are in desperate need of a come back, so Annabeth agrees to a hail Mary. She decides to risk it all in a last ditch effort to save the gym. Annabeth decides to build a rag-tag team around Percy, and have a documentary made about his path back to redemption.
Can Percy win the fight against his demons or will they defeat him in the end? Can Annabeth save the gym or is she going to lose the only things she actually cares about?
Sometimes the greatest feel-good story is only as good as the come back.
