#if i die then im haunting zeus for an eternity whether gods can be haunted or not

uhh percy gets wings- (i dont know sbdvs first prompt that came to mind)

I rewrote how he got the powers like nine times, but the overall gist is, Percy gets his wings bc he asked Apollo to give him something that would piss off Zeus.

Apollo’s logic, which he is confident in since he is a god of logic, is that if he blesses the wings then Percy can fly into Zeus’ domain without Zeus striking him down. And if both Apollo and Thalia Grace support Percy, then Artemis supports Percy, which means now Percy has more gods on his side in case of an emergency.

Everyone’s reactions to Percy’s new wings are... hilarious.

First, we’ll start off with our favorite children of Zeus. For a whole day after she finds out, the only thing that comes out of Thalia’s mouth is “what the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck,” She cannot fathom Percy having wings, let alone potentially getting himself killed by her father again. (how dare he? she cant piss off her father right now as Artemis’ lieutenant with actual duties, and he gets to gallivant in the sky and flip Zeus off all the time??)

Jason’s is more of a quiet fear and sort of... resignation? He’s just very tired, but also oh my gods Percy he’s going to kill you, my dad is goin - Yeah. Jason is just trying to hold it together and keep Percy on solid ground. Sometimes, though, they go flying together. (they both think each other’s ways of flight are cooler than their own, but they’ll never admit that)

Annabeth’s is just kind of like, well, what else could happen? Percy’s not dead yet, so Apollo’s blessing seems to be working. And he likes his wings. After a few nights of complaining about how hard sleeping is, Apollo just makes them something Percy’s able to summon. The wings themselves are made out of sunlight, so this is pretty possible. But sometimes Percy grabs Annabeth and the fly over NYC and New Rome at nighttime so it’s cool for the most part. She thinks her boyfriend deserves a break and something lighthearted, and this is exactly that for some reason, so she just sort of accepts it. She’s happy for him, even if it doesn’t make that much sense. And hey, she’s all for pissing off Zeus, who should have done more to be an actual good king.

Sally, oh dear god, Sally... She prays to Poseidon angrily for a few days. She’s confused and kind of scared for her baby boy, and it’s... a lot to take in. She just hopes those wings aren’t hurting him, and she hates the prospect of Zeus or some other sky god coming out to kill him.

Estelle is ecstatic. She cannot get over how cool her older brother is. She loves him to death already, but wings? He can fly? That is so cool!! And sometimes he scoops her up and does flips in the air, or he’ll throw her up into the sky and then dive down to catch her. It’s all in good fun, and he never actually endangers her, so calm your heart rates down. Nobody at school believes Estelle about her brother, but that’s fine. She’ll keep telling the stories because she knows they’re true.

Percy really likes his wings, he loves doing flips in the air more than anything. Being in the air is freeing with the wings, almost like being in water. It’s freeing because in the sky, protected by Apollo, nobody can knock him down, not even his father or Zeus.

He also likes bonding over flying with wings with Blackjack. Now he can be his own pegasus if he wants. Blackjack says that Percy can still always call on him if he needs anything.
