#book: the son of neptune

[1800-lemon-boy]

Friendly reminder that Annabeth was Percy’s mortal anchor when he bathed in the river Styx, and about a year later is the only thing he remembers about his life.

(🎶my grand plan, is that I will be remembered🎶)

So, way back when I was a wee little cringe nerd (tentatively affectionate), I was absolutely bonkers obsessed with Percy Jackson. I also had basically zero access to the internet and only an extremely vague idea of what fanfiction was, and I definitely wasn't immersed in the fanfiction culture of the time. So that meant whenever I had Thoughts and Ideas, I was writing those fuckers straight into my class notebooks for all the world but especially my teachers to see. That being said, I just remembered my very first ever fanfiction idea, of which I wrote three pages of looseleaf in my seventh-grade social studies class with my best friend in between assignments. Which I will now elaborate on as an Adult because honestly, what else do I have a semi-popular Tumblr blog for?

The basic idea is that, in the Son of Neptune, instead of heading straight for Camp Jupiter, Percy very vaguely remembers that the mysterious Annabeth lives very close by. He skids down the hill next to the Caldecott Tunnel, but instead of crashing into the highway, he lands in the back of a pickup and is carried away by a very panicked+annoyed driver who wants the kid in the back of his truck out.

(Please imagine Frank and Hazel, standing guard, watching some random kid go screaming down the side of a hill on a serving platter while pursued by gorgons, land in a pickup, and, still screaming, swordfight said gorgons. Who get whacked out of the air and run over by a school bus. Can you fucking imagine)

(Please also imagine Juno, waiting invisibly next to the road, also watching Percy go screaming by in a truck. She had been waiting there to give Percy her mysterious "choose safety or your memories" spiel but now he's fucking gone)

The pickup driver pulls over to the side of the road near the bay and tells Percy to get the fuck out of the back of his car. Percy, seeing the gorgons in hot pursuit in the distance, makes the logical move and jumps straight into the bay. He lets instincts and muscle memory guide him to the edge of one of those fancy neighborhoods that border the edge of the water. He continues following muscle memory and instincts and ends up at Annabeth's house, and he knocks on the door.

Fredrick, opening the door: Percy Jackson??

Percy: ...who are you

Fredrick: you exploded my car four years ago! my daughter has been looking for you for months. ANNABETH COME DOWNSTAIRS I FOUND YOUR BOYFRIEND

Percy: HUH WHAT

Annabeth gives him a flying tackle hug and Percy is 60% confused, 40% relieved because finally this is someone he remembers. Annabeth starts talking about how they need to get Percy to CHB stat, everyone is so worried about him, they knew Jason had had amnesia but it had been so long they weren't sure if Percy was still alive, etc etc,

Percy is nodding along in confusion and pretending he knows wtf she's talking about.

Juno appears in the Chase house. She's mad as hell that a) percy isn't already in Camp Jupiter and b) he's with Annabeth (derogatory). She teleports Percy straight into CJ but Annabeth manages to hang onto him and come with.

They land on the near side of the Little Tiber, where Frank and Hazel are reporting on the weird screaming demigod in a pickup that had gone by twenty minutes ago. Juno realizes she accidentally brought Annabeth along and is Very Unhappy about this.

"Romans, I bring to you the Son of Neptune-" ("I'm the son of a planet?" Percy muttered). "For months he has been slumbering [etc]. Instruct him in your ways, induct him into your legion. As for the daughter of Minerva…” The Romans gasped, staring at Annabeth. Juno curled her lip, shooting an icy look at the girl. Annabeth snarled wordlessly in response. “She is extraneous. Do with her what you will.”

Juno disappeared

More will be added in the reblog

Umm… did we forget that, in Riordanverse canon, Hitler was a son of Hades?

[fanwarrior321]

they don't know it yet, but she's going to take a poisoned knife to the side to protect him and he's gonna loose all his memories except her name

My favourite Heroes of Olympus trio

[keerysfreckles]

LOOK WHAT GOT HERE!!!!!!!!!

[happilyscrumptiousbread]

Listen, all I'm saying is that Hazel Frank and Percy ARE the cursed trio even if Percy washed away his mark of achilles (or whatever its called) in the little tiber. Because losing your memory, being taken away from your home and the people you love seems like a curse to me.

Hazel's curse: diamonds appearing that will curse people of they take them

Frank's curse: his stick that is his lifeline, if it burns he dies

Percy curse: that fucking bitch hera

something that i don’t think is mentioned enough by the fandom is how Reyna became a praetor, basically ruled camp jupiter and was the most respected person there in basically less than two years

she left Circe’s island in early summer in sea of monsters, right after Percy and Annabeth escape

the events of the lost hero take place 2.5 years later, and she was already a predator by then

we all talk about how Percy became one in like a week, yeah he has his credit but c’mon, he’s the main guy, so of course he would become a preator by the end of the book

but Reyna

in a matter of 2 years this girl and her sister met Lupa and then one went one to become leader of the fucking amazons, and the other went to camp jupiter and became a praetor and the most looked up to camper

[thatonedudewholikesbooks]

I´ll never get over these books:

All That´s Left In The World by Erik J. Brown

The Song Of Achilles by Madeline Miller

literally any book Rick Riordan ever wrote

[astraeajackson]

I still can't get over how percy, even having lost 99% of his memory, STILL rejected reyna, who is arguably the most BEAUTIFUL and POWERFUL woman in camp jupiter, all because he had the VAGUEST inkling that he was in LOVE with a girl named annabeth... and at that point the only thing he could remember about her was her NAME.

he is down BAD for her and she is for him too so you literally CANNOT be telling me they AREN'T meant to be together... like bro they raised the whole ass RELATIONSHIP STANDARD simply by EXISTING tf you mean they aren't MADLY in love with each other???

Musical!Percy: “I’m not leaving your side ‘til you’re remembered”

Book!Percy: “The city had some connection to Annabeth- the only person he could remember from his past”

Wheat started to re-form, but Percy pulled a lighter from his pack and sparked a flame.

"Try it,” he warned, "and I'll set this whole field on fire. Stay dead. Stay away from us, or the grass gets it!" Frank winced like the flame terrified him. Hazel didn't understand why, but she shouted at the grain piles anyway:

"He'll do it! He's crazy!"

This is essentially they’re entire dynamic and I love it.
