🗣️: They're just fictional characters from books!

*Calmly* Me: You are just a sack of blood surrounded with flesh. What's your point?

[weeby-monster-the-bastard]

Okay, I need a fanfic about the time Jason (back before the lost hero) met Aeolus while hunting a Sea Monster. Aeolus brings it up, and now I need to see that in a short story format. Besides, we need more of jason and we definitely need more of aeolus. Aeolus is great, and I even made another note today discussing how I almost want a book all about him. I also would love a book about the titan war from Camp Jupiter's perspective, too. There's a lot of ideas in my mind, and they go nowhere because I can't write for my life. But i have the gift of thinking up like 50 million ideas about different things.

My opinions for Riordan verse books that no one asked for but will provide anyways

WARNING THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE SO IN THE WORDS OF SCAR 'BE PREPARED'

・Three book long series, first with Luke running away until he finds Thalia, second after they find Annabeth and their travels, third after Thalia dies and their time at camp before Percy, all from Luke's pov, we get more insight on his backstory and how he felt throughout everything outside of Percy's pjo which is where we saw everything. Also maybe we could get some Thalia x Luke before the betrayal..?

・A five book long series with a crossover with mcaga, tkc and pjo/hoo/toa, we already know their are some problems rising and I think some of the interaction (eg. Alex with Nico and Will with Magnus) could be really interesting to see. Also I feel like there could be something involving bringing Jason back as his death felt really unnecessary and sort of... Idk unfinished or something. Another idea I had for this was after maybe the first one or two books Percy in a way becomes Luke, trying to reach him in any way and carrying out his plan of overthrowing the gods however this time not with the help or Kronos but just trying to convince the other demigods to join him and a kind of descent to madness with him being tired of getting used.

・A standalone book, sort of like tsats except it's about Jason's life with Lupa and his time at Camp Jupiter, maybe just a short story but I feel like it could be good.

・Similar to the previous, a story about Reyna and her life before HoO, maybe a split pov with her and her sister because I feel like that story has a lot of potential.

・A book about Leo, set around the same time as tsats, maybe something to do with his dad or with the waystation, probably involving Calypso, Piper and Reyna (maybe him and Cal getting more development (OR A BREAK UP PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF APOLLO) and kind of fleshing her out because right now she doesn't have much character imo) maybe he could also try to convince Hazel or Nico (probably Hazel because I feel like he doesn't have enough development with Nico to play this out) to let him see Jason again and him trying to join him.

・A bunch of short stories (like 10ish pages each length) of Rachel's experiences being the Oreacal and just what it's like, maybe also giving her some development with other characters (maybe Nico with them bonding on feeling out of place) and also some story with her family and how her life is.

・A collection of short stories which is basically just fluff because we don't get enough of that (Solangelo, Fierrochase, Percabeth, etc.)

・ Another short story (I'm sorry I warned you) with Annabeth right after the war, about her being mad at Luke, upset about his death, still caring about him and her getting a visit from Hermes, maybe expecting sympathy but just getting blamed for his death, also maybe a flashback of Luke asking her to leave in a nightmare.

・A book just with everyone's reaction to Jason death because I hate myself, not just in the moment but like a few weeks after and what they did and stuff (Leo, Piper, Frank, Hazel, Percy, Annabeth, Reyna, Nico)

・A collection of short stories about minor characters (Kayla, Austin, Connor, Travis, Clarisse, Lavinia, and just like under appreciated characters)

・A book with Reyna and Thalia split pov about them being in the Hunt and maybe a mission and Reyna could find out more about Bianca stuff. They could also maybe secretly get together but keep it hidden to stay in the hunt (or they leave the hunt and join the Amazons with Hylla (Reyna's sister) and they kind of start to bond) Also Hazel could be brought up because she technically stole from them.

・A short story with Nico and Bianca's life in the 1930s/when they're in the Lotus Casino, how they felt, what their life was like, etc.

Obviously a bunch of these short stories would be in one book, comment your suggestions xx

UPDATE BECAUSE I COMPLETELY FORGOT

・a book on Alabaster, his time at camp, maybe him meeting Nico in the time between pjo and hoo cuz that would be cool, what he does after Son of Magic, interactions (maybe relationship...?) with Ethan. Also just like a whole three book series about him and he could be in that cross over book (second idea), maybe as a villain or someone who helps Percy when he wants to overrule the gods

・A book on Ethan, just what his life's been like, maybe something like the diary of Luke Castellen

・this one would probably be part of another book/story/series but Grover going sort of insane, maybe possessed by Gaia (because let's be honest the fight was a bit anticlimactic, hoo is probably still my favorite series but that ending was kinda meh after all the build up, I think something that would have made it more dramatic would have been Percy not letting everyone else take control (his fatal flaw is personal loyalty) then when Leo dies (which was his plan anyways) he blames himself for it because he thought if he'd listened and stayed aside he would have lived anyways that was off topic) because he doesn't like how nature's getting ruined and it's a 1v1 fight with him and Percy and he would try to talk him out of it because he doesn't want to fight his best friend but ya know he's been possessed and can't tell it's his best friend so Percy ends up surrendering (maybe dying but that seems like a bad story choice because he's the main character and that would be a bad choice logically because you would have to bring him back (if they were to do that then it could be like the Orpheus and Eurydice story except Annabeth has to do a bunch of tasks for Hades and Nico's begging him to make it easy for her and her pride makes her think she can save them all (Luke, Jason Bianca, Ethan, Selina, Beckendorf etc.) and ends up saving none of them the Nico and Hazel have to bargain with Persephone and Hades to let Percy come back) which then after Grover gets released but it's before Percy comes back so he has to live with that guilt but at the same time he still hates humans for destroying nature and (this is a bit out there hold on) he becomes the I guess new Pan and is protecting nature. (This would also probably be a part of the second idea (again) but before Percy wants to overthrow Zeus so that he has the power of a God on his hands)

Characters who are "why choose to hate when you can choose to love" regardless of what people have done but also "I'm afraid I don't have much love left to give" with their significicant other always hits me so hard.

[the--last-great-american-dynasty]

duology idea that i wish i had the skills to write:

murder mystery with a main girl who’s trying to solve the mystery pippa fitz-amobi style. she ends up joining forces with a boy and they work together brilliantly and they’re also given all the typical romance tropes to set up their supposed romance… except everything is just slightly off. not enough to be super noticeable but enough to feel itchy.

the first book ends with the reveal to the reader that the boy is the killer.

the second book continues to follow our pip character and the boy/killer but things are getting more obviously off to everyone, including our main girl and she begins to get suspicious. she ends up secretly joining forces with our main suspect of the first book, a girl who seems to be hiding something. turns out, she is hiding something, she knows our boy more than either of them let on, and it’s finally revealed to our main girl that the boy is the killer.

the book then becomes a difficult balance of hiding the fact that she knows the boy is the killer and continuing to keep the pretense of working with him and working with the other girl to take the boy down. and now all the romance tropes are between the two girls.

Plot twist: animals as we see them are a small physical manifested portion of far richer spirit creatures capable of the same or greater intelligence than we are, but humans are the only species to have most or all of their intelligence in the physical portion of themselves.

I can't help feeling more affinity for Leo and Jason and Piper than for some of the characters in the original book series. Collectively, Leo, Jason and Piper might be better than Percy and Annabeth. That's not a disservice to Percy and Annabeth (because they are decent characters). It's just that I find myself liking Jason, Piper and Leo a lot more than them. I wish Rick Riordan wasn't writing a new book series with Percy and Annabeth and them. Because I'd have gladly taken a new 5 book series about Jason, Leo and Piper (maybe throw Frank, Nico, Hazel and all them in there, too).

In fact, an idea for said book just came to me: Ouranos's Revenge! Ouranos has finally reformed after millenia, and he wants to destory earth to punish his wife Gaea! That's way more compelling than the trials of apollo or rick riordan's new books. I used to like the roman emperors as villians, but now I think it's disrespectful to the legacy of people like Nero. I took a quiz that said I was like Nero, and then I skimmed Nero's wikipedia page and found him sympathetic. And the point is: I like Emperor Nero too much to see him as a complete villian now.

Here are some book ideas that I gave up on or felt it wasn’t for me.

P.S: feel free to take these, I genuinely just want to get them out and actually see someone making these books happen because they are amazing. DM me to get the full details or synopsis.

A young alchemist unravels the mysteries of her father’s forbidden experiments and discovers her own latent powers.

4 drunken students find their names engraved on grave stones

a girl who lives her old life behind moving to a new city yet her past manages to catch up to her and at the end she is arrested because of her dark past

a young boy shares a connection to spirit animals and dead people. he thinks he is the only one with this ability but then he finds out that the new girl in his school can do the same.

a kitsune, basically a person who can take a form of a fox and human, is stuck between choosing her love or her friends/village.

a girl who is a poet all the things she writes about come true

A girl who is bound to a tree tries to escape her the harsh reality of life and death (pollution etc…)

Young woman who has puppet magic (villain) is in search of an enchanted book/wand leading her to a magic academy where she meets the daughter her partner had taken away from and is stuck between finishing her evil plan or reuniting with her daughter.

These are all, give credit not required but encouraged and I hoped it inspired or encouraged some of you to write or get a new idea. If you want more just ask for one more privately as you wouldn’t want anyone else writing the same thing as you.
