Heroes of Olympus but the ships are slowburn like in the first series so we have to suffer all over again

Frank and Hazel stumbling around each other and Frank being unable to explain why he hates Leo so much while Hazel is still barely over Sammy

Piper "he may not know it yet, but he is MINE" McLean pulling increasingly desperate stunts to try and win Jason over x Jason Grace who is as oblivious as PJO Percy

Percabeth asking each other "were we like this? there's no way we were like this" and Grover having the time of his life on the other side of the empathy link because Percy now knows what he's been enduring for the last four years

Leo's seventh-wheel character arc would so much more pronounced because now the flirting pre-couples seem to literally have no time for him unless they want to talk about romance and he just wants his fucking friends back

I'm very very normal about this

calling all PJO fanfic readers!

In the interest of acknowledging great works by fandom writers, DemigodPolls is going to share a big year-end collection of 2024 Percy Jackson fanfic recommendations! In the comment section below or on this AO3 post, leave recommendations for the best PJO fanfics you've read - but there is one major rule: they MUST have been published or last updated in 2024! No exceptions! Reblogs are turned on, but please do NOT leave your recommendations in the reblogs/tags! They will not be considered! Before commenting, make sure that you read the additional specifications below the cut first. If you have nothing to recommend, please do reblog to help support fandom writers and spread the word! Thank you!!!

What we want:

strong grammar

strong writing skills

accurate/interesting depictions of PJO characters

angst/romance/drama/adventure/friendship/character studies/etc

accurately tagged stories (i.e. stories that don't surprise you with untagged triggering content)

stories written with love for the percy jackson universe and its characters

What we DON'T want:

stories that were published/last updated before 2024

stories about ships that would be age-inappropriate in canon, unless the characters are CLEARLY aged up in the story (e.g. no olympians x teenage characters, unless the younger character is explicitly an ADULT when they first meet in the fanfic)

stories that contain non-c*n, inc*st, p*dophilia

stories under 1000 words

stories that fall under "character x everyone"

stories about original characters (stories that contain some OCs in non-protagonist roles are fine, character x reader/self-inserts are fine)

stories that bash other ships/characters (i.e., don't recommend percabeth fics that bash rachel/perachel)

stories that contain non-PJO crossovers (except for RRverse crossovers, i.e. pjo + tkc is fine, toa alone is fine, tkc alone is not, pjo + harry potter is not)

stories that contain gore/extreme violence/extreme bodily harm

stories that contain cheating/infidelity (I just don't want to read those, sorry)

dialogue-only fanfics/texting-only fanfics

stories that contain W*TTG sp0ilers

can I recommend multiple things?

yes! just make sure to categorize them correctly under the relevant prompts.

can I recommend my own story?

yes, but you are highly, highly encouraged to simultaneously recommend at least one other fanfic that you yourself did not write - let's spread the love! (not required)

is smut okay?

yes! but you must specify clearly that the story contains smut in your comment, and please don't use explicit/overly sexual language in your recommendation. I also reserve the right to refuse to consider stories that contain k*nks I don't want to engage with. (ab0, hardcore bd$m, parental name k*nk to name a few)

are non-english fanfics okay?

you are absolutely welcome to recommend non-english fanfics to others in the comments! but I will not be able to put them on the final recommendation list, because I only speak english and I cannot personally vet their contents, cannot observe their grammar, and could be terribly misled by a translator. I'm very sorry! however, if you would like to put together a similar recommendation collection of non-english stories, I'd be happy to promote it on this blog.

is percico okay?

someone asked about this specifically, so here's my stance: percico is a controversial pairing due to the debated inappropriateness of the canon age gap (approx. 3 years). I personally consider 3 years between minors to be juuust beyond my comfort zone (2 years), so please respect my decision to abide by my own comfortability and refuse to consider stories that feature age gaps of this size or larger involving minors. however, you can recommend percico fics where the age gap is explicitly made smaller, or fics where nico and percy are both explicitly adults! this same rule applies to any other ship in a similar circumstance - check the wiki for canon ages if you're unsure! (and to be clear, this is solely about ages, not about the individual merit of the pairing itself. respectfully - this is me drawing a boundary about what I am comfortable with, so do not argue with me on this topic).

is caleo okay?

this pair is even more controversial nowadays, so here's my stance when it comes to weird magical circumstances: within the logic of the pjo universe, some things that seem strange from a mortal perspective are standard within the books. i.e., it's not weird to date fellow demigods, even if the person you're dating is technically your aunt/uncle/cousin/etc. likewise, it's not "weird" for a teenager to date an immortalized or de-immortalized teenager, because... I genuinely don't know, that's just how the book logic works. for that reason, caleo works are accepted. we're going to apply this same logic to pairs like theyna, which could also potentially have murky circumstances (although I do consider thaluke to be especially iffy, because it heavily depends on the situation that people write them in - so if you're unsure, go ahead and submit it, and I'll use my best judgement from there). however, I cannot begin to express my extreme disinterest in discourse about immortal dating ethics - like, I would rather do anything else. not trying to be sassy here, but I'm going to ask you guys to not pick a fight about these topics, for the simple reason that I have zero interest in debating over situations that could never occur in real-life.

are incomplete/discontinued stories okay?

yes! I'd prefer stories that have at least three chapters, but this is not required. completed one-shots are also fine!

If someone already recommended a story that I like, should I vouch for it?

if you would like to, then absolutely!! you can respond to the appropriate prompt from this account in the comments, or you can reply to the person making the recommendation. just make sure to explicitly state which story you're advocating for.

Comments that do not follow these guidelines may be deleted!

How to make recommendations:

There are two places in which you can make your recs! You can click here to leave them on an AO3 mirror of this post, or do so in the comment section below. If the latter, continue reading. Please leave the story name, author username, story rating, main ship, and main characters in your comments - and if you'd like, definitely add some words about why you like it! AO3 direct links are not necessary, but super appreciated. But if it's not on AO3, please ensure that you make clear where exactly I can locate the story. In the comments below, you'll see comments that you can reply to, sorted by ships/lack thereof. Please sort your recommendations by replying to them accordingly (i.e. if you want to recommend 2 solangelo fics and 1 valgrace fic, leave the 2 solangelo recs under the solangelo prompt, then do the same in the valgrace prompt). You MUST explicitly state somewhere if the fanfic contains smut. If you're not sure where to put your recommendations, make your best guess - but absolutely do NOT intentionally mis-categorize your recommendations (i.e, if the pair is not canon, do not put it in the canon pairing section. Seriously. This makes things much more difficult for me while organizing fics, and I'll probably delete your comment anyway.) Lastly, please be mature about shipping. Nothing irritates me more than fighting about percy jackson ships in 2024. If you see fanfics recommended about pairings (or characters!) that you hate, do the mature thing and just scroll past it/do not engage. Character hate and ship hate is not tolerated on this blog. I am very serious about this - if you are starting a fuss about ships/characters, your comments will be deleted and your account will be permanently blocked. Respect your fellow fandom-mates! I will do my best to moderate this comment section, but before looking through them, please understand that I am not responsible for your individual well-being, and there may be fanfic recommendations that are not appropriate for minors/might contain triggering content/etc.

Here's a little form for those of you who find this easier to use, but you don't have to use it!! However, PLEASE do include the following information in your comment regardless:

story name: author: rating: ship: main characters: additional comments (what's it about? why do you like it? etc):

Don't forget, fanfics published/last updated in 2024 only!

Thank you so, so much for participating! The collection won't be published on this blog until late December, so until then, take your time, check those bookmarks, and read new PJO fanfics! Much love to all of you ♡

Was missing my bois, had to draw the prophecy gang again 🔱⚔️

[crookedghosts]

hehehe I love rewriting jasiper to be "you're still my person but I didn't know in what way bc I was still finding myself and we can't ever be what we were/pretended to be but I will always be here for you I will always have a love for you" and I love rewriting caleo to be "god we were both just two kids who wanted to be seen and known and loved who could blame us really? I hope you have a good life." I love fixing these ships/nonships without being misogynistic 😌

[bayetea]

yeah just gonna dump some recent pjo doodles all at once (shaggy haired-jason enjoyers pls interact)

[poppitron360]

One thing that would’ve made the Jason/Piper arc SO much more interesting was if they actually explored the fact that they are probably one of the first Greco-Roman couples in several centuries.

Like imagine the shit that Jason- the Perfect Golden-Boy Praetor- would’ve gotten at CJ for dating a Graecus. He was expected to be a good soldier, and uphold Roman values. And it would’ve been a great accessory to his arc of feeling separated from Camp Jupiter and his Romanness.

And that’s a ship that’s canon, and it’s not talked about at all.

But you know what would’ve made it better? You know what the pressure of living up to the expectations of being in a certain type of couple to uphold a standard of life is a PERFECT METAPHOR FOR?

Queerness. Jason being in a relationship with a Greek being frowned upon by the Romans being a metaphor for being in a same-sex relationship would’ve fit so well. ESPECIALLY considering actual history and how Roman society viewed the very fruitiness of the Greeks, and thought they were superior than them because of it (that’s probably an oversimplification, but still).

My point, as always, is Valgrace should’ve been canon.

[carnifexa]

jason gets his tongue pierced. unrelated to this fact, piper and leo now look 45% more disheveled and unfocused when they come out of zeus cabin.

[vanisa-ray]

the fact that there are a shit ton more valgrace posts in the jasiper tag (or any jason x piper tag for that matter) is just stupidly hilarious 💀🙏

[ryuusei-niu]

Leo: I think a big sign about being aro was that I valued the power of friendship more than the power of love on books.

Jason: but it's the same

Leo: no is not

Piper: yeah, they are, but the power of love is stronger

Leo: NO IT IS NOT

Jason: I liked more when someone died

Piper & Leo: NO

[lost-trio-week]

Slightly belated due to both mods being busy with holiday shenanigans, but massive, massive thank you to everyone who participated in Lost Trio Week! Seeing the turnout for the event was super cool and we’re very, very excited it was received so well! We hope you guys had as much fun as we did!!

As a reminder, the collection is staying open for a whole year, so if you’ve got a fic or a piece of art or anything else you wanted to finish for Lost Trio Week but didn’t get around to in time, not to worry! Just tag the blog and/or add it to the collection and we’ll still be thrilled to have you ^^

[sacrifical-lamb-core]

Piper definitely calls jason baby girl and jason is sooo flustered

[helyeahmangocheese]

anybody gonna match my freak and let me know how they rank the ship permutations between Reyna/Jason/Leo/Piper bc my dash is telling me something about yall. don't be shy. tag it.

[demigodpolls]

(piper and jason are a special situation, but don't overthink it!)

feel free to explain your answer!*

*(do NOT post ship/character hate in the comments. do not make comments like "I don't like [ship], BUT..." your comments will be deleted and your account will be blocked. shipping is not a big deal - you are entitled to your opinions, but you can post hate on your own blogs. this account is a friendly space for the fandom! thank you.)
