    Summary

    Sally Jackson loved her son. She did, really. She knew she did, the same way she knew how to breathe or how to keep going when everything in her body told her to stop. It was something she clung to, something she repeated to herself like a lifeline, because if she let herself doubt it – if she let herself even consider that her love might not be enough – she wasn’t sure what would be left of her.

    OR

    What if Sally Jackson had been a bit more bitter, Percy a bit more angry, and things diverged from canon?
