#lesbian nicercy canon divergent au

Very attached to the idea that if Percy had been a woman she would have been named Ariadne. Like, I know that Persephone is a popular fanon name for female Percy because it's a nice way to keep her nickname. I've also seen Andromeda used by some because she lives a long life with Perseus in the myths. But Sally would have at least considered it right? Because Ariadne's a popular female figure in mythology, linked to both Theseus and Dionysus, two other famous figures in mythology. She was a clever mortal princess who was dealt a bad hand because her father's arrogance allowed him to think that he could get away with defying a god, just like how Poseidon's arrogance allowed him to think that he could get away with breaking the pact he made with Zeus and Hades. And in the end, Ariadne survived both her family's legacy and Theseus's abandonment, becoming Dionysus's immortal wife in both the PJO universe and in many retellings of the myth of the Minotaur and Theseus in real life. Ariadne got to live out her happy ending just like how Perseus did in mythology, which is the main reason why Sally even gave Percy the name Perseus to begin with. Am I delusional to think that Sally would have given a female Percy the name Ariadne? Who the fuck knows. But I'm so attached to the idea that it literally just supersedes any other name I could have come up with

Thinking about my slowburn lesbian Nicercy au. It's cooking. I already have some of the plot planned out and I'm already in the middle of writing scenes. Due to me literally rewriting canon all the way since before the Lightning Thief, Book 1 is absolutely going to be skipped over because Ari (my name for female Percy and why I named her that is explained in this post) isn't around to be blamed, so I'll probably post my rewrite of Book 2 first and then get to the Nicercy in Book 3, which is as far as I got in the planning process so Books 4 & 5, the fun side demigod stories, and any of the books involving Percy in HoO aren't even in the equation yet until I finish those rewrites
