Fanfics

The fics are listed here in chronological order, while the dates are given in modern calendar, the au's characters most likely do not use that, so that is more for the convenience of the readers. This is neither how they're listed on ao3 nor the writing order. Please read the tags for the fic(lets) carefully.

decomposition (Set place in 1XX0, End of June-Early July)

[It was going to be a long ride to King Poseidon's court, too bad they hadn't let him take along his bags. He was going to be immensely bored without the books he had packed.]

Prince Alabaster has some misconceptions about what having had lost the war entails.

Or

Al's trip to Atlantis fic :3

sieged (Set place in 1XX0, Mid July)

"I'm going to kill her..." With just as fast as she came, Palas turned on her heels and left, leaving Lou blinking blearily behind her.

The first thing that crossed Lou's mind was: I need to shake the hand of whoever shook Palas this much.

The second thing that crossed Lou's mind was: I hope they continue to do so and give me an excuse to get rid of her.

Lou wants two simple things, really: Her family back and some control over her own life.

With a surprise visit, the latter may just get even harder to achieve.

but they've overcome their shyness (now they're calling me your highness) (Set place in 1XX0, Start to Mid December)

The way King Poseidon reddened in anger at the letter he got in reply the first time had been glorious, if Alabaster had to be frank.

If only it hadn't been overshadowed by Perseus still writhing with agony in his sickbed and Alabaster's life being on the line.

Defeated in war and sent to a foreign kingdom against his will, Alabaster has to navigate a foreign court with the unwanted company of Prince Perseus and Princess Annabeth. One problem: Someone tried to kill Percy and Alabaster is the main culprit.

instead you hoarded all that's left of me (Set place in 1XX1, January)

Alabaster hopes the frigid air does flay his skin off. Better him due to the freezing wind than Ethan and Poseidon’s head guard.

Drowning in guilt, Alabaster finds a perfect way to take it out on himself. Percy and Annabeth are left to pick up the pieces.

Tales of Epirus

They had been holding out their own pretty well in the war, or so Lou had thought. Until Alabaster's letters home started only being addressed to their mother, until they got less and less frequent and their mother started preparing for surrender.

The worst part? It wasn't enough the occupiers stripped the palace of anything valuable. They demanded Lou's brother, too.

Lou Ellen was never supposed to be the queen, much less a puppet one. Alabaster was supposed to rule, not be torn apart from his crown and family.

your sweetest compromise (Set place in 1XX0, Start to Mid July)

“You will serve as an example of what fate awaits Atlantis’ enemies,” King Poseidon explains as Alabaster is dragged out of his cell, only to be shoved down to his knees before him. “While I understand that even former princes have their pride, it is my son’s wedding. This would be easier on both of us if you behaved civilly. Surely losing your crown does not mean you’ve lost your etiquette?”

Alabaster bares his teeth in an approximation of a smile. “Don’t talk to me about etiquette when you and your heir presumptive learned yours on the seas, amongst drinkers and whoremongers.”

Poseidon’s face grows dark with fury.

Stripped of his crown and made a political hostage, Alabaster's survival now entirely depends on the goodwill of Prince Perseus and Annabeth. Thing is, he's not quite sure if living is worth it. // or: how i imagine these three fuckers come to the arrangement they have in river's AU

Idea I just thought up from seeing a sally is loki thing here on tumblr

Pallas Is reborn as either estelle or a twin of estelle or as a percabeth daughter.

Imagine how percy would react. The niece he only heard of is now reincarnated as his sister or daughter. Imagine annabeth reaction

IMAGINE TRITONS AND ATHENA REACTIONS

[time-for-opinions]

hey so what if athena had her first demigod child because she missed odysseus

and in all her attempts to fill in the hole in her heart, instead of seeing any child as hers, all she saw was someone who just. wasn't. odysseus.

[scarlet-sam-chaos]

athena, being referred to as 'tritogenia' as in 'daughter of triton' in the iliad, and knowing the story of pallas and athena, i-

[ganeshpnf]

I feel the relationship between Athena and Pallas should be discussed more. Best friends or lovers being raised together and Athena accidently kills her bcs of her shitty father. Imagine the trauma...

Oh and best of all in @bloodyshadow1 's fic Guiding Wisdom, she doesnt even know it was her father... (Read the fic ^^)

Guys like, imagine killing your best friend like that, making Triton, your foster father punish and banish you for it. It is like...torture. And you didn't even have anyone on Olympus at that time too. Athena's traumas are underlooked.

I imagine Pallas would be reborn with Percabeth's first daughter. Looking exactly like her :) Making Athena and Triton froze in shock. Ah imagine Annabeth giving her daughter to Athena's arms like Odysseus did with Telemachus. Athena holding the small kid, shaking but tears form in her eyes as baby opens her eyes, sea green eyes she got from her father, the same eyes Pallas got too. Percy doesnt get it first but Annabeth understands. My heart...

[bugwolfsstuff]

You ever think of Hera preventing Zeus from saving his son Sarpedon from his fated death and Zeus mourning by sending blood rain in the Iliad

and then in ToA

Zeus preventing everyone from saving his son and Hera/Juno's champion, Jason Grace from his fated death and Hera mourning by wearing a veil and scolding Zeus

[hanahaki-disease]

1. Percy is raised as a ordinary boy by Sally until he discovers his true identity as Poseidon's son. In the world of gods and monsters, he's seen as a demigod, regardless of his actual parentage. Poseidon has fully ad opted him, making him a full-fledged son of the god of the sea.

They are his parents, regardless of how he was conceived and how he was born, - Poseidon held him tenderly in his arms, drinking his father's blessings and looking into his big green eyes, which slowly acquired a bluish hue like the clear waters of Zakynthos.

Sally didn't sleep the whole first night when Poseidon gave her Percy - she was sitting by the single bed where she carefully laid the boy on the largest soft pillow and just admired him. His delicate caramel skin, his dark fluffy feathers of soft hair, his tiny charming face and sleepy blue-green eyes. He was beautiful - Her son, her Perseus, her gift of the sea, her Doris. These are Percy's parents, mom and dad of their cute little boy. And they love him.

2. The Batfamily meets Percy when Annabeth invites him to dinner to introduce her mortal family. They mistakenly identify as Annabeth's boyfriend because she talked about him with such love - no, they are absolutely platonic soulmates.

And, well, they experienced a wide range of emotions inside, starting from surprise and ending with a slight fright - in front of them stood literally a slightly more masculine version of Talia Al Ghul with a bluish tinge of eyes and shorter hair.

Bruce remembered how Talia came to him for comfort because her newborn brother Bulbul disappeared after birth and compared these dates with the age of Percy, a little younger than Annabeth and told Alfred that ice cream should be served for dessert, a lot of ice cream in separate dishes with separate spoons.

Damian retains his usual behavior outwardly, but inside he feels so much. On the one hand, he thinks his grandfather's missing son and [is it possible to say so?] his mother's brother is sitting right in front of him, making witty jokes and laughing just like his mother. Damian rarely heard her laugh, he drinks this sound like sweet nectar. But at the same time, another part of him wants to believe that this is just an external coincidence. There are many similar people in the world - Damian does not want to lose everything he has.

3. Sally calls Percy by his middle name - Doris or Dori, because she loves Percy and he is a real gift for her. Percy is a gift from the sea.

----

And in this au, which I really like, where would Percy fit in the batfam? In this AU, Percy and Annabeth, [who is the daughter of Bruce and Athena], are not romantic, but deeply platonic, they literally call each other siblings. Bruce is experiencing some difficult feelings because Percy is his daughter's best friend and honorary brother, who is also a vulnerable child of Talia's blood and flesh and God how much he looks like Damian. Percy is Bruce's child figure, Bruce is Percy's father figure, they are son and father in everything except blood and adoption papers, but they won't admit it even at gunpoint. Percy is similar to Stephanie in this regard.

Can they trust him because he’s technically Talia? Initially, yes, because Percy is too similar to Talia and this is terribly alarming for people who have a history with her. But Percy is Percy, he is a separate person from her, even if he is made of the same blood and flesh as her. And he will explain and show them this.

Does he work with the league because of how he’s born? No, Percy was born in Nanda Parbat, maids took care of him for the first hours of his life, he even had a wet nurse who managed to feed him after birth. Ras and Talia were by his side. He was not Perseus Doris Jackson, he was Ardeshir Bulbul Al Ghul. But it didn't last long - Poseidon, who was looking for a child to give to his beloved, found and took the baby. Percy is not an Ardeshir, he was not raised in the League of assassins as the future heir and son of the head of the demon. But he could help or complete one or two missions, depending on what it will be - Percy will not kill, but he is always ready to help if necessary.

Is he Damian’s uncle or brother or some father-like thing since he’s a clone of Talia? It is difficult because Percy is really a pure clone of Talia, he has all her genes and only her. If you do a genetic test, it will really show that Percy is Damian's parent and there is a close relationship between them, which is mostly fraternal but also has a parent-child connotation - Damian looks too much like Percy, and Percy looks too much like Talia. Although they don't admit it. And no, Ras, the fact that Percy recognizes Talia as something like his motherly sister, and Damian as his brother/almost son, does not mean that he considers you his father.

I hope you enjoy it :)

Enjoyed it?? I LOVED IT!!

Everything just feels so in character and I can see the whole world of this au in my head and it’s just *mwah* chefs kiss.

Percy and Annabeth bing platonic soulmates , almost twin flames, is giving very much a “reincarnation” of Pallas and Athena in this au. And I just know Athena is both happy for her daughter but also so jealous that Annabeth has him by her side and she doesn’t.

Sally would absolutely call Percy her little blessing or her special gift because that’s what he is to her in every sense of the word. That is her baby and no one, not even Poseidon, will be taking her baby away.

I like to imagine Talia seeing Percy and wanting to take him to Nanda Parbat (after Ra’s is dead) to train him and connect with him in the way she wished she had the chase to before he was taken, but Sally is not going to let a random assassin lady take her baby.

Sorry this took so long to respond to!!!

Bittersweet Blood

About:

What if Loki was Sally Jackson? Thus, Percy is born a half-blood of two gods from differing patheons. It's time Loki and Percy took the Marvel Universe by storm.

First - Previous - Next Chapter

Chapter 2, Part 3: The Sea Protects

To say that Triton and Amphitrite were shocked would be an understatement.

The first new god was due to be born in a millenia, and their death was set when they were only 16!

Triton seems to disassociate, thinking about his own daughter Pallas. She was born a naiad and was almost secured in her divinity, when Zeus distracted his daughter during a sparring match and Athena killed her, her spear piercing through Pallas’ chest, just because Pallas was winning.

He saw his daughter's pained youthful face looking towards her friend her lover Athena, her golden hair soaked with blood, the pearls in her hair cascading to the sea floor, and then her breaths stilled and she fell limp. Pallas’ face fell towards Triton, and her once beautiful sparkling blue eyes were dead. There was no longer any light in her eyes.

Triton screamed in anguish and fury. The oceans raged like never before when the prince of the peaceful seas grew violent. He was held back by his mother from doing anything rash, but still Athena, his daughter a goddess he was tasked to care for by Zeus, was forever banished from the seas, from her first home, from her foster father. And no gods born from the sky were ever allowed into the sea again.

He couldn't do this again. He couldn’t see another young face like Pallas lose their light.

He abruptly straightened up and cried, "I can't do this again," and swam away, lost in his sorrows.

"Triton," Amphitrite and Poseidon yell after their son, but he is already gone.

"I'm sorry, he's probably just remembering some bad memories," Amphitrite sighs and looks softly into Loki's eyes, "We all are."

"If you don't mind me asking, what is everyone remembering?" Loki asks hesitantly.

Amphitrite takes a deep, shaky breath, and Poseidon goes over to squeeze his wife’s hand assuringly, “I-It’s just our granddaughter, Triton’s first and only child, Pallas. Triton crafted her through his very essence, but she needed time to be secured in her divinity. She was taken much before her time, and with your baby having a death sentence over their head, it likely brought up bad memories for Triton. Another child who will never make it to adulthood.” Amphitrite started crying, and Poseidon held her tightly in his arms.

Poseidon's eyes started to grow wet, but he stubbornly refused to cry.

“Poseidon,” Loki says softly, “It’s alright to cry, and I’m sure Amphitrite doesn’t mind either. Norns knows how much I cried when I heard that prophecy.” Loki will do what he can to support his love. He knows that like the sea, Poseidon loves fiercely and vastly, and he needs the support from Loki and Amphitrite both.

Amphitrite takes a shuddering breath and looks into Poseidon’ turbulent eyes, like the froshing grays before a storm, “Husband, Loki is right. We both still grieve our granddaughter, and it is alright to express that.” Then she turns and gives a watery smile at Loki, “I’m glad my husband found another who can support and love him. Thank you, Loki.”

Loki takes a shuddering breath, surprised and happy that Amphitrite accepts him, and nods at Amphitrite. He also realizes that he never needed to be jealous of their open relationship because Poseidon gets to receive love from multiple people, and Loki finds himself oddly alright with that, and is sure Amphitrite feels the same way.

“I don’t know if I can, my loves,” Poseidon says heartbrokenly after their speeches, “I’m so used to being strong, I don’t know if I can be weak. W-what if I hurt our people? My emotions cause turbulent tides and storms and earthquakes, and if I start, I fear I won’t be able to hold back. I don’t want to go back to my old self that caused so much destruction.”

“Dear,” Ampitrite says sadly to Poseidon, “I’ll be here to weather your storm, as I’ll be here to comfort you through your rains. I’m the calming sea to your turbulent sea, and I will always be. You don’t have to hold back, as I’ll always be there to balance you out. You’ve changed for the better, and I don’t believe it possible that this loving man in front of me could ever go back to his old self.”

“I know what it's like to cause destruction in your wake,” Loki starts and heads to sit next to Poseidon and wraps his arms around him as Amphitrite does, “But what’s most important is finding those who can support you through it, and I’ve found that having those people near always settle the storm. I’m here Poseidon, and Amphitrite is here to support you, we’ll calm your storm and be here through everything.”

“I-I,” Poseidon says, shaking as tears escape his cloudy eyes, “Thank you.” And he starts sobbing in his lover's arms. The seas darken and grow dangerous, and storms and hurricanes start to form. However, Amphitrite, true to her word, even as her eyes are wet, calms her lover's destruction in non-fatal storms, hurricanes, and seas.

After they grieve, Poseidon says softly, “Pallas, was our beautiful and creative and troublemaking granddaughter. She always had ways to make us laugh, and she loved all life around her. She somehow though always found new ways to get into trouble. One day, when one of her pets, sorry friends,” Poseidon laughs wetly, remembering his granddaughter’s correction.

Poseidon then continues, “One of her friends died, and she created her first storm in her grief, and she was terrified of all the destruction she caused. She ended up destroying the ship that killed her friend, but even still, she never killed any of the people on board. They all managed to get safely to shore. A young man, though, who was part of that ship’s crew, saw her grieving over the dead fish, and proceeded to dedicate the rest of his life to saving marine life and giving his respects to Pallas. Then, his descendants after him, and so on, and today they own one of the largest marine life conservations and rehabilitations in the world called Pallas’ Ocean Rehabilitation. I’ve forgotten that Pallas blessed his family and still that blessing holds onto his descendants for all long as they do have good in their hearts, and that in her first destruction she paved the way for life to continue flourishing. I’ve forgotten the lesson that Pallas taught me that day, that destruction isn’t always bad.”

“I miss my granddaughter greatly, but I’ve forgotten her life in the tragedy of her death, and I think Triton needs to hear this, to remember those silly and fun and loving times with Pallas, so he can celebrate her life and start to move on from her death.” Poseidon states and stands up to go find his son.

Loki is in awe of Pallas and her beautiful story, and hopes to hear more about her, and hopes that Triton will be alright.

“I think Triton needs to hear that,” Amphitrite smiles and tells Poseidon before he leaves to go find their son, “I think we’ve all just been ignoring our grief, and forgotten how Pallas brought us together as a family, and how what we really needed was to stay together and not pull apart in our grief.”

“I agree,” Poseidon says and goes to find Triton.

“Pallas sounds like an amazing person, and I’m sad that I’ll never get to meet her,” Loki says sincerely to Amphitrite once Poseidon leaves.

“She was.” Amphitrite reminisces.

They sit in comfortable silence for a bit, and Loki thinks about Pallas both her tragedy and her impact on those around her. She was amazing and seemed to be full of life. Loki gently holds his flat stomach. Even if his child doesn’t have much time, he’ll be sure to enjoy every moment. Every life, every stumble, even every destruction. Even though the prophecy calls for the savior or the destroyer of Olympus, Loki will never turn his back on his child. Perhaps, even as a destroyer, the child will instead be like Pallas and pave the way for a brighter future.

Loki smiles, his destroyer, he likes the sound of that. Loki shakes his head, that’s in the future, and Loki knows whatever the child chooses he’ll stand behind them until the end.

Note:

Destroyer, huh, wonder what name that will lead to 😋

Also, I had to add Pallas. She really underrated in mythology and needed her mentioned somehow.

First - Previous - Next Chaper

[dark-elf-writes]

I had a thought: Sharkie is a demigod. Alice is clearsighted and so tormented by what she saw (not just monsters but other things to. What does bump in the night and the cold grasp of death on her throat) that she fell to addiction.

But imagine Sharkie being a demigod of a sea god. Being so connected to the sea they wear that onesie. The pain of a god who lost their child before they turned older. The fact it was not a monster which claimed her but a dunk driver.

Just… yeah. Had the thought.

My first kneejerk reaction to this was “Oh Sharkie is 100% Triton’s kid” which suddenly made so many things line up and make sense.

Part of the reason Triton is so short with Percy when they meet is of course the fact that he’s Poseidon’s affair child and the tress of war and all but another part, a larger part than he’s willing to admit, is that Triton is jealous that Percy got to live and thrive when his own child did not. Because on some level every god is prepared to lose their children to monsters but with the advancements of recent centuries both in the mortal world and camp halfblood the idea of losing them to something else has all but disappeared from their minds.

Or it had for Triton until Sharkie’s death. Yet another one of his children who died too young.

He is still mourning when war zones to his home. Still mourning when he sees his father’s newest mortal son for the first time and has to grit his teeth. Still mourning when Percy comes back after the war and seeks him out with wide eyes.

“My dog dragged me to hell, long story, but while I was there I think I saw your kid. Like working there not like in hell, ugh I told dad I shouldn’t be the person to tell you this it’s all coming out wrong. Sharkie is their name now and they got to grow up and their adopted parents are great and… they want to meet you. We can set something u—”

Triton isn’t entirely sure why he grabbed his little mortal brother before transporting them to Hell (a crutch to be used while he grew accustomed to walking on legs after having sworn to himself that he would never leave the sea again in the wake of the loss of his youngest child he was sure. Certainly nothing more than that.) but he was thankful for the solid presence under his hand when he saw his child, his grown and laughing child, dealing with a soul.

[notwillsoulless]

"why hasn't pjo!Athena just offed Percy if she hates him so much--"

because she looks at him and Annabeth and sees herself and pjo!Pallas. maybe she genuinely believes that by separating them, she could spare Annabeth the pain, knowing he was prophesied to die.

maybe, when his hair grows longer in Tartarus, and he comes back from months away, she can only see a daughter of the tides with curly black hair and the same, mischievous smile, and feel nothing but a distant ache in her heart.

maybe she looks over the ocean and remembers that she was raised there, unable to harm someone who is so similar yet so different from her.

someone raised away from home, taken by the arms of the sea after the biggest loss of her life. given away and neglected by her father only to be pulled back and called the favorite when the time comes.

maybe she spares Percy because she understands him.

[everythingwasalreadypicked]

"I'm going to kill her..." With just as fast as she came, Palas turned on her heels and left, leaving Lou blinking blearily behind her.

The first thing that crossed Lou's mind was: I need to shake the hand of whoever shook Palas this much.

The second thing that crossed Lou's mind was: I hope they continue to do so and give me an excuse to get rid of her.

Lou wants two simple things, really: Her family back and some control over her own life.

With a surprise visit, the latter may just get even harder to achieve.

[bimyself06]

Can we talk abt the whole Poseidon saved Percy from death after Athena let monsters into her temple in a hissy fit and blames her daughter for the actions of another? Now the whole mirroring of both gods actions and their children's reverence/lack of reverence and the way it didn't affect them saving their children or not saving in Athena's case, has been talked abt so let's talk abt Poseidon here.

If we include the actual Greek myths here, Athena and Poseidon's beef isn't just abt the whole Athens patron contest. In the myths Triton, Poseidon's heir whom we meet in the fifth book, had a daughter named Pallas. Pallas was friends with a daughter of Zeus, Athena. During a spar, fight, or contest (this part varies depending on the telling if the myth) Athena kills Pallas by stabbing her with her spear on accident (although I do believe there are some versions where she did it on purpose as she was blinded by jealousy that Pallas could best her in a fight).

Now, let's go back to PJO. We know after watching the last two episodes that Poseidon does care for Percy beyond what he can do for him, so imagine the anger and panic that Poseidon must have felt after watching his son nearly die all because of Athena's "wounded" pride; it would have been another child of his blood, this time his son instead of his granddaughter, who would loose their life at the hands of Athena.

[toubledrouble]

Dumb headcanon time!

Athena cabin has a cat. A Pallas cat.

[secretfandomrambles]

I don’t have a massive amount of stuff planned out, but eventually I am going to write an Athena/Reincarnated!Pallas Sally Jackson AU. (I have a bunch more stories to write first tho so I don’t know when I’ll get to it.)

Percy will be getting two moms 😏

Poseidon and his family are gonna hate it.

It’s gonna be fun.
