[fanfic-lover-girl]

I still have a small obsession with Percy Jackson characters reading the books so I decided to check out a fic with the Percabeth pairing tag. I immediately went to the Mark of Athena reaction fic...and I regretted it immediately.

Annabeth flips Percy in front of the Romans, potential enemies, and all the characters freaking laugh and gush over how cute they are. Reyna says she recognizes it as a form of expressing love. Gosh, I am really beginning to despise this ship.

Yep, I have only been avoiding Percabeth fics tentatively because there are certain fics I love - like seafam or ascension fics - with the pairing but I am definitely avoiding any more Percabeth fics in this particular trope. The only reason I am still subscribed to "Cruelty of the Fates" is because I respect/love the author's writing and blog posts on Tumblr and the couple are not dating in the fic.

I'm sticking with Perpollo fics. At least the people in that fandom space are willing to highlight the good, the bad, and the ugly aspects of the ship unlike so many Percabeth writers.

Mhm, okay, I understand, yeah we can do that, do you have any questions? -oh why do we dedicate our Quests to Kronos? Well, that’s because I’m sick and tired of my relatives harassing me. Anyways!

mrthology

Summary:

“It’s a good thing that father of yours is so protective of you,” Dionysus said, joining the demigod on the beach the next night, looking cautiously out to the lapping waves to gauge his uncle’s mood.

The demigod blinked, eyes bright despite the lack of light.

Dionysus ignored his surprise and studied the demigod carefully, noting the faint hint of gold exuding from his skin.

Ah. Well then.

He could remember noting the same sheen to his own skin millennia ago now. Jackson was on the precipice of something, and only time would tell if it were madness or greatness.

——

Percy’s on the edge of something. Dionysus notices, even if Percy doesn’t want him (or anyone) to.

Summary:

There's far too much divinity in Percy Jackson. It oozes from him, to the point where he's sometimes mistaken for Poseidon. Percy doesn't know this yet. All he knows is that this nereid is asking to borrow five drachmas.

Of All That Breathe and Crawl Across the Earth

mrthology

Summary:

"All of you demigods are bred for war, for me," Ares said. "That's just a fact of life." He took another drag of his cigar, then snuffed it out on the bricks near Jackson's ear. "You're chess pieces to move as we want, and nothing more."

Jackson laughed, his voice echoing in the small alleyway in a way no mortals should. "I'm surprised you even know what chess is," he snapped. He grinned, all sharp teeth and eyes that saw far too much. "I thought that was more Athena's area. You're just carnage."

Ares tightened his grip, wanting to see the boy squirm. Jackson reminded him of someone from millennia past, a Hero still loved by the ages. Ares wished he could place who.

—

Ares takes notice of Percy Jackson. Even he isn't sure if it's a good thing, not when his very presence seems to bring back memories of things best left forgotten.

Summary:

Ever since Tartarus there’s been something… strange about Percy. They all know it, they’ve all seen it. Obviously the gods know about it, too, but they’re about as helpful about it as Charybdis in a swimming pool.

Nico just hopes Percy will stop glaring at everyone who looks at Nico or Jason the wrong way… and preferably tell his godly relatives to not threaten doom on them all every time Percy so much as scrapes his knee.

Get Under Your Skin Just Like A Bomb That's Ready To Blow

ashilrak

Summary:

“That was a mistake,” Ares says, walking beside him. “You’re not one to abandon your post. This is going to eat at you.”

Just like every other time he’s spoken with Ares, Percy is vibrating with anger. How dare Ares tell him what’s best for him. At his sides, he tightens his hands into fists tight enough he’s sure he’s drawn blood.

“What’s it to you?” he spits out.

“You’ve got war in your heart, boy,” Ares says. Percy can’t see his eyes because of his sunglasses, but he’s sure they’re glowing red like charcoal. “I can taste it.”

Or: Percy's struggling without a war looming over him, and who better to help him find his purpose than the God of War?

Percy didn’t realize at the time that when his boyfriend came up to him one Friday afternoon with his coffee order in hand and a nervous grin on his face it was the beginning of the end.

The Burden of Our Mortal Misery *

mrthology

Summary:

“Get up,” Dionysus ordered.

Percy ignored him. As they always did, memories of Tartarus crept back, a hold on him that never quite left. Falling, falling, falling. Always falling, never quite clawing his way back to the surface.

Dionysus hauled him to his feet, hands a burning brand.

Percy panted and met his eyes, barely able to stand under the force of the god's divinity. He wondered if this was what people meant when they talked about the myths, why people loved and worshipped the gods and feared them in turn. Percy had never seen them as people to revere and love. They were cruel; petty. They had done nothing but treat Percy like a pawn in their schemes, then thrown him to the proverbial wolves once they’d been done with him.

But he thought he was beginning to understand. He felt tiny before Dionysus, insignificant. It was more of a comfort than Percy wanted to admit.

“What’s happening to me?”

—

Percy had left something of himself down in Tartarus, and he didn’t think he’d ever get it back. He wasn’t sure he wanted to.

Walking Backward Into My Own Myth

mrthology

Summary:

"You should have ascended years ago," Zeus said without preamble, looking down at Percy. The other Olympians, even his father, remained silent, watching the proceedings with uncharacteristic solemnity.

"I said no years ago," Percy snapped, rage making his voice tremble and hands shake. "I didn't want to be a God then, and I want to even less now. I've seen how horrible eternity is."

"You would defy the fates themselves?" Athena asked softly, leaning forwards with narrowed eyes. She looked more godly than Percy had ever seen her, to the point where it was nearly unbearable to look at her face. Percy did so nevertheless, glaring at the Goddess he'd lost almost all respect for.

"You had children die today," he snapped, desperate to return to Camp. "Annabeth could still die—hasn't she done enough?"

———

Or, Percy keeps living the same horrible day over and over and over again, regardless of what he does. Eventually, something will have to give. Percy just isn't sure what.

Despite everything that Percy did for the gods, he was still being used as a pawn. When an opportunity arises that Zeus can't ignore, Apollo will stop at nothing for his lover to return to his arms.

Summary:

“Find Medusa?” Percy spluttered, trying and failing not to sound indignant. “Nobody wants to find Medusa. You run into Medusa while trying to retrieve your uncle’s stolen lightning bolt and then mail her head to the gods after she keeps talking about how your eyes are like your father’s.”

From behind him, Piper raised a single finger. “When you mail what to whom?”

Percy glanced over his shoulder to give her a shrug. “Don’t worry about it. I was twelve,” he said before turning back to where Gabe was still fighting against the ropes binding his hands together. “Do you have any idea what to do with him?”

Nico leaned over, craning his neck to better peer at the hot sauce that still stained Gabe’s face despite the years of statue-ification. “Um, we could see if your dad wants to turn him into a fish or something?”

Percy grimaced. If Gabe Ugliano was a fish, then he’d be forced to hear the man’s voice in his head for years to come. But also, he could maybe mount him on a wall, so perhaps it wasn’t an entirely terrible idea.

Or

Medusa’s sculptures are mysteriously coming back to life. Percy doesn’t think murder is an unreasonable action given the circumstances.

Summary:

“This… this would qualify as a mental breakdown, right?” Triton asked, frowning over his shoulder to where Percy was still fuming in the corner. The lady at the counter curiously glanced over before lifting a questioning brow. “My brother – half-brother, technically, I have much better breeding – decided to run away from home to where our father can’t reach him and now he won’t leave. And now I can’t leave unless he leaves,” Triton continued. Percy opened his mouth to object that wasn’t what happened at all, but the tyrant only waved a hand to silence him. “He’s seen war or whatever, so if you could maybe just drug him then I’ll throw him into a suitcase and we can be out of here by the Summer Solstice!”

Silence. Finally, the woman cleared her throat and turned to Percy.

“I’m guessing he’s the one you want checked into the mental hospital?” She asked. Triton gasped as Percy punched the air in victory.

“Aha!”

Or

Getting in trouble works a little differently when your parent is an all-powerful god. Sometimes you have to escape to the land beyond gods and get your immortal brother turned human to drag you back so you can be exploded a million pieces. You know, normal teenage stuff.

Summary:

“Oh gods,” Percy thought, “I got fucking isekai’ed.”

---

Thrown back in time and tossed onto the scorching shores of ancient Greece, Percy becomes the unwilling center of attention for an entire army. One destined to sail for Troy and wage a ten year war. If only they could appease the gods keeping them far from their destination first…

Meanwhile, Percy will have to make allies fast while navigating a pantheon of deities who have not yet been tempered by time. Because here, it’s not just the kings who have taken a terrible interest in him; Percy will soon learn just how painful the attention of a god can really be.

HAUNT ME, THEN— *

ashilrak, mrthology

Summary:

Percy collapsed once he reached the porch and looked up to a rickety ceiling fan. A moth darted around the light, drawing his attention. It was easier to focus on it than on what had happened. His mom, the strange recollections that dogged the edges of his memory, Grover, everything.

A stern and familiar man looked down at him, concern and apprehension written across his face.

“Hello, Kassandra.”

———

Or, when Apollo cursed Kassandra before the Trojan War, it didn’t go as planned. Now, millennia later, Apollo and Kassandra are still stuck in an endless cycle of death and rebirth. Percy Jackson doesn’t know why people keep calling him Kassandra, or why he’s plagued by memories; all he knows is that he didn’t want to be a demigod.

Perpollo Community

I've started a Tumblr community, @@perpollo-when-the-sun-met-the

What's it all about? Well right now, a whole lot of nothing.

But what I'm hoping it will be?

1. A place for Perpollo fans to talk.

2. Share thoughts about the pairing

3. Reblog fics, art, pithy dialogues, quotes, or just musings about Perpollo

4. Post WIPs nowhere near completion but which we still want to gush about with someone.

5. Recommend whatever piece of Perpollo media we adored.

6. Putting out prompts that we'd love to see brought to life.

7. Setting up events!

Anything else I can't think of right now but which will still be great, I'm sure.

Leave a reply if you'd like to join, and I'll send you an invite!

[anotheroceanid]

Since I'm currently fixated on my own fic, I'll brag about it here.

So, about When the Horizon Blooms, this will never happen this way because a lot of things happened between the moment Percy left and when the story is set, so those obviously won't be the actual reactions from the characters, but I love to imagine how people from the year post Second Titanomachy would react to the fact that Percy I-Will-Challange-A-God-To-A-Fight-At-Twelve-Years-Old Jackson is pregnant with Phoebus The-World-Is-My-Oyster Apollo’s childREN.

Like, in a word without the prophecy or a word in which the prophecy came out later.

Everyone going through it. War flashbacks, childhood trauma, Annabeth with a “get a job, stay away from her” attitude towards Apollo (when she’s in a good mood), Poseidon throwing a fit, the campers raising money to help raise the triplets because they will ALL be the dad that stepped up, making the buildings at camp more resistant just in case…

Apollo himself is probably locked on Olympus against his will, because otherwise Poseidon would turn him into fried chicken.

And Cabin 7 just going on and on about Percy being technically their mom now. They’d make personalised camp T-shirts with “Olympus’ Hero Mom Privileges” on the back.

Not Jealous (solangelo)

Nico had a problem and that problem took the form of a YouTuber that had enraptured his boyfriend.

Doctor Mike. The bane of his existence. He watches from Wills bed as the boy himself sits with his legs propped up on his desk chair; headphones on and a stupid awe filled look plastered on his face as he watches the doctor on his screen. From what Nico sees, the topic of which he was discussing in his video seemed gross. He saw cysts and clips of surgeries that made him squeamish; he could barely handle the doctor pimple popper videos Will seemed to love. Right now he would take a million clips of blackhead being squeezed out and weird lump removals if it meant that annoyingly attractive doctor was ridden from the monster proof computer the Hephaestus kids kindly made for each cabin. If only he could go back in time and stop them from making their invention.

“Will.”

“hm,” he replied, his head moving towards his direction but his eyes never leaving the screen.

“Will!” he throws the green Super Wars, or whatever it’s called, teddy laying on the bed at the boy.

“Hey!” Will takes off his headphones and pauses the video, “what did yoda ever do to you?”

“that’s your fifth video.” He glares.

“Awh baby I’m sorry,” he puts his headphones on his desk and walks over, “I didn’t even realise I was ignoring you.”

“yeah you were too busy with Mike,” Nico pouts while crossing his arms. A grin slowly spreads across the blondes face.

“sunshine are you jealous of my YouTuber?” He teases as he brushes his hand through the brunettes bangs

“No,” Nico bumbles out, pushing away his hand. Will can’t help but jump onto the bed towards his pink eared boyfriend. Nico swats away from his playful tugs and fighting until he’s final pinned against the bed.

“admit it Neeks you’re jealous.” He grins.

“I don’t get jealous William.” He says as he turns his face to the side, his pout still prevalent.

“yeah what about that time when I said Paolo-“

“nooo-“ he moans out.

“Or when-“

“Shut up,” Will let’s go of him and sits, allowing his boyfriend to bury his head into his shoulder. He lets out a huff of laughter at his boyfriends adorable antics before putting his arms around him and manoeuvring them both until he is cuddling Nico from behind.

“Y’know,” Will whispers into the brunettes ear after a moment of silence, “you’re cute when you’re jealous.” He smirks as he watches the red creep onto his boyfriends face.

”you’re mean.” Nico grumbles softly as he wiggles in his grip, “acting like you don’t get jealous either.”

“No you see when I say I’m don’t get jealous I actually mean it unlike someone.” He says pointedly.

“oh really?” Nico mischievously looks up at him.

“yep.”

“Y’know Travis is looking good lately, really handsome,” Will holds in his laughter as he realised what his boyfriend was trying to do.

“and Jason’s definitely been working out lately, weeyoo” he exaggeratedly exclaims as Will just hm’s and aggressively shakes his head in agreement.

“but of course none of them have anything on the attractive levels of Percy.”

“oh of course,” he joins in, “Percy is super hot. His abs are sure looking delicious lately and his biceps? Out of this world. He’s literally a Greek God; no pun intended. Him and Annabeth are like the hottest couple to ever exist. If I had both of them in a room at the same time-“

“yeah why don’t you go find them and make love with them!!” Nico glares and pushes him away

“see!” Will exclaims “you’re even getting jealous while trying to make me jealous, give up Neeks.”

“that’s unfair! You kept talking about Percy and even included Annabeth when she wasn’t even brought up!”

“Well come on it’s Percy and Annabeth-hey!” Nico pushes him down on the bed. “I’m just trying to get a rise out of you baby,” Will nervously says.

“Y’know what I think,” Nico smirks down at his boyfriend who hesitantly nods, “I think Percy and Annabeth have nothing on Apollo.”

“what.” Will blankly looks up at him.

“yeah you heard me; I think lord Apollo, your dad, is the hottest god- no being on this planet.”

“shut up”

“Gods, what i’d do if he was here right now-“

“shut up!”

“Did you know he was my gay awakening?”

“shut up shut up shut up!!” Will switches their positions, leaving Nico once again pinned on his back. “Take that back!”

“ha! Look at you, you’re jealous!”

“that’s not jealousy! That’s my dad-gross!!” His face twists in disgust as Nicos laughs die now.

“I’m sorry la mia luce,” he says gently as he brings his hands up to softly lay on his shoulders. His fingers curl though the ends of the blondes locks as he looks up at him with doe eyes Will knows he could never be mad at. “You know I think you’re the most beautiful thing to bring light to this world.”

Will lowers himself until he’s resting against Nicos chest, the rest of himself spread out on the bed and the smaller boy underneath him until their limbs starts to tangle.

“no more talking about other people- especially my dad.”

“yes of course bellissimo,” he agrees before innocently muttering under his breath,” and no more Doctor Mike.”

Will laughs before kissing the side of his lips, “for you sunshine, no more Doctor Mike.”

Nico stops him before he rests himself back on his chest. His hands cupping his face, his thumb soothingly tracing circles on his cheeks before softly pressing his lips against the others. Will loved how Nico acted like every kiss was their first, as if he was still shy to touch him. He kissed him back, ensuring him that he doesn’t have to be shy with him and he doesn’t have to be jealous of anyone else either. Will was here and he wasn’t planning on leaving for another anytime soon.

They laid together, holding eachother and breathing in the comfort.

“Was my dad really your gay awakening?”

*note!* if you realised Nico has the romantic vocab of an 80 year old- welcome to my headcanon that Nico is an old school lover boy and Will “raised in a summer camp and probably had the sex talk from a horse” solace has a dirty mind and mouth.

[lets-talk-ships]

I don't remember where I read this but there was a scene in a fanfic in which Percy and Jason are talking. Jason is telling Percy how everyone is and then he says this one line

Jason : Leo well, how do I explain Leo?

All I can think is how well this line explains Leo.

[absolutehumangarbage]

Anyone interested in co-authoring/beta reading a dark pjo perpollo fanfiction with me?

Plot:

Percy is sent back in time for some reason and takes the place of Hyacinthus (probably because the prince got anxious seeing Apollo around and found a random demigod looking for quests and asks to switch places until the god went away.) so it turns out the person Apollo fell in love with all those years ago was actually Percy which then can turn into a dark love story.

Warnings: I would like this to be a yandere/obsessive Apollo fic that doesn't include the trials of Apollo (because I haven't read it yet). Likely themes we may explore is kidnapping, stalking, non-con, and other dark topics.

If you're interested, dm me. Kudos to those who know about Hyacinthus' history or facts about ancient Sparta and their royalty because I know next to nothing. Lol

Main Pairing: Apollo/Percy

@polympians-event Prompt: family focus.

Summary: Apollo had lost so many over the span of his life, but for the first time, he had a real family to come home to, and he was grateful for it.

This story on FFNet | This story on AO3

--

Sun-in-Law

Apollo loved getting mail. Letters and packages addressed to him. It was a silly thing to find joy in, he was aware – he was the god of the sun, music, prophecies, medicine, he'd seen and caused so much that was magical, inspiring, ever-lasting, impactful, yet here he was, giddily staring down at their electricity bill. Mister Apollo Jackson. Followed by their address. That was, his and his husband's address. Because he was Mister Apollo Jackson now, husband to one Percy Jackson.

He'd had so many fake last names over the years, to pose as a mortal when falling in love, to try and be a normal man and not a god, but none of them had been real. This was the first time he had a real last name. His husband's last name. He'd taken it when they had exchanged their vows.

For the first time in forever, Apollo had a life. A normal life. A husband, a house, bills, neighbors, even a job (technically, he was Doctor Apollo Jackson, but oh well). He did things the way every normal mortal being did. Neighborhood barbecues, Sunday family dinners with his in-laws, meeting his husband for lunch whenever possible, preparing lunch bags for their daughter.

"Are you staring at your name with a stupid smile again, sunshine?"

Apollo jumped ever so slightly at his husband's voice. A blush lit up the Sun God's cheek. Sometimes, it felt like Percy had prophetic abilities of his own. How could he possibly know?

"I'm just getting the mail, sea star," Apollo called back, quickly getting the rest out too.

When he entered the kitchen, he found his beautiful, amazing husband in the middle of preparing dinner. Percy Jackson was stunning. Even as a retired hero, still athletic, well-trained, his eyes the ever-sparkling endless depth of the sea, his very, very kissable lips pulled into a teasing grin.

Percy was the greatest hero their world had seen in so many centuries, he'd been wooed and beloved by countless demigods and gods alike. Yet Apollo was the one who could count himself so lucky to be loved by the demigod. And for the first time, Apollo was allowed to love. Percy didn't get turned into a plant, or a constellation, or die otherwise. No, he was so strong, he could hold his own against any god – or titan, or giant, as proven in the wars.

"Papa! Papa, look!"

Apollo's attention was drawn away from his captivating husband and down to their daughter. Well, in all technicality, she was Apollo's granddaughter – a daughter of his son Asclepius, the god of medicine, her mortal mother having died when she was still very little. Too little to be at a Summer Camp, too alone to be abandoned. Percy had fallen in love with her so fast and so hard, it had been his idea for them to adopt her, and it had warmed Apollo's heart. Now she was theirs. Little Ariana Jackson, her fathers' pride and joy. Smiling at her, Apollo knelt down next to her.

"Oh, that's a pretty picture, sweetheart," Apollo smiled as he looked at the crayon drawing.

He smoothed down her wild, dark-brown hair and pressed a kiss to the top of her head, making her giggle. They had made a beautiful home together, him and Percy. A normal home. The kind Apollo had only ever gotten to dream of. Yes, he still had his duties on Olympus, but especially after his father's unjust punishment, Apollo had few qualms not being as diligent. If he king of gods thought they could do without him, then who was he to argue.

What had started out as a punishment had in the end been what drew Apollo and Percy close and even after Apollo regained his godhood, they remained friends. Apollo kept dropping by, visiting Percy at college, annoying Percy, hanging out with Percy, falling in love with Percy. It was a bit ironic, perhaps, that what had put them together in the first place had been Apollo fighting to get his place on Olympus back, only for him in the end to more or less give it up willingly. What mattered here was the choice. This was his choice. His choice to be with the one he loved.

Yes, he would like to take Percy to Olympus. Make him a god, know him immortal and protected. Not as long as Paul and Sally were alive though. Percy refused to leave the mortal world as long as his parents were still on it. So they compromised, and Apollo had come to live here, live a normal, mortal life with the man he loved, until Percy was ready to accept godhood and move on.

It had started out as a compromise, Apollo could have never anticipated how much he would come to love it. Love this life with all its facets, fall in love with all the small, mundane things.

"If you don't mind, how about setting the table before everyone gets here?"

"Ri—ight," Apollo got up again and walked back to the kitchen. "Sorry, our adorable daughter is very, very distracting. Setting the table now, my love."

There was a particular, little smile he always got when calling Percy 'my love'. Leaning in, Apollo kissed his husband's cheek before he went to set the table out in the backyard for eight. Their house had a beautiful, large garden with a pool – Apollo did not marry a son of Poseidon to then not spoil him with a sea-water pool; he may lead a mortal life right now for the sake of his husband, but he was still a god and he was going to spoil his consort! The garden though, admittedly, was mainly pretty thanks to Apollo's half-sister Persephone. One of his favorite half-siblings, the two were close. The beautiful garden had been her wedding present to them.

"Ba—abe, doorbell," was screamed at him about twenty minutes later. "I would, but chicken."

Apollo huffed out a small laugh at that and hurried back in, after one last glance at the table. Cutlery, plates, napkins, he'd also prepped and served the salad already. Looking good. Pleased, he went to open the door for their guests, offering a bright, sunny smile.

"Mom, dad! So good to see you."

Paul Blofis winced at that. "I told you not to call me that. It's just… weird."

Next to him, his wife laughed and elbowed him. "Fairly sure that's exactly why he's doing it. Hello, Apollo, it is good to see you too. How are you boys?"

Sally pulled him into a warm, loving hug. She had a gift for those. And for making people feel like family. Coming from an awkwardly broken home himself – an affair of Zeus', which of course meant his parents didn't raise him together, and which also implied the anger and disdain from his dear stepmother – he had been very overwhelmed by how warmly he was welcomed into the Jackson family after he had started dating Percy.

"Hi, Polly, where's my brother?" Laura asked, already pushing past Apollo. "And my niece!"

The young Jackson deeply admired and loved her older half-brother. She liked Apollo too, but only after she got her Percy hugs in. Grinning amused at her, Apollo pointed toward the kitchen and she zoomed right off to attach herself to Percy's waist like a clingy octopus. It should be more awkward, that Percy's sister and Percy's daughter were only a few years apart, but Laura had been absolutely psyched to be the older one for a change, and she took being 'best auntie' very seriously. As soon as she had enough Percy hugs, she turned her attention to little Ariana.

"Brother!" Tyson greeted him loudly and enthusiastically.

Apollo grunted as the cyclops hugged him hard and lifted him off the ground by a couple inches. Percy's brother had fully accepted Apollo into the family and was very happy about how happy Apollo made Percy. Apollo gasped for breath once he was put down again. Cyclops hugs were tight. Next to Tyson, Tyson's fiance simply smiled at him and waved. Ella was a good one. She worked closely with Rachel a lot, and Apollo in return still worked with his chosen oracle, so on occasion, he also spent time with Ella, outside of Jackson family events.

"Okay, that's everybody. Let's move this party to the backyard, I already set the table."

On their way to the backyard, they of course paused in the kitchen so everybody could properly greet Percy and also Ariana. The little girl giggled delighted as her uncle Tyson lifted her up onto his shoulders, her tiny fingers reaching out for Ella to pet her feathers.

"Hey, mom," Percy's voice was muffled by his mother's shoulder. "How are things?"

"Exhausting," Sally's eyes landed on Laura. "Half the time, it feels like I am too old to go through all of this again. I should be in my grandma era."

"You are rocking the grandma and the mom gig," Percy grinned at her. "And you know, whenever you and Paul need a break, me and my hubby are more than happy to babysit my awesome sister."

The hubby in question also grinned and offered a thumbs-up to Sally. He indeed was always willing to babysit Laura and help out in any way he could – he always had, at first in an attempt to endear himself to Paul and Sally, but by now, simply because he loved them. Because they were his family.

"Dinner smells delicious, Perce," Paul offered a smile, patting Percy on the shoulder.

"Ye—es, and I am starving," Tyson pushed past them so he could help carry something out.

Percy laughed at his brother and motioned at everything that was ready to go. Everyone picked something up, so they could finally get to dinner. Sunday family dinners were so important to them all. Once a week, they made the time to eat together. Sally and Paul alternately hosted these dinners with Percy and Apollo. Apollo took his seat at one side of the table, next to his husband, with Sally and Paul opposite them, Tyson and Ella on one side and Ariana and Laura on the other.

"How is school, Laura?" Apollo asked his sister-in-law.

She wiggled her nose at him and frowned. "I do not care for math."

Percy choked on his food, laughing hard. Concerned, Apollo reached over to pat him on the back. Sea-green eyes looked at him, sparkling with love and amusement. Once he was calmed down again, Percy leaned in to kiss Apollo on the cheek, ever so softly. Apollo knew why. Because Percy loved how much Apollo cared about their family, that Apollo didn't just love Percy, his consort, but the whole package deal of Jacksons (and Apollo really thought that Paul should have done as he did and taken the Jackson name when him and Sally had gotten married. Tyson went by Jackson too).

"I'm afraid you will need math to finish school, princess," Paul chuckled, patting her head.

"But I don't wanna finish school," Laura's frown deepened. "I've decided that I will work at the forges with Ty! And Ty never-ever went to school at all!"

Apollo laughed at that and leaned back, letting the mortals at the table take this one, because things were different for him, as a god, and for Tyson, as a cyclops too. Tyson was working at Poseidon's forges. Ella was working as a librarian in New Rome. And Percy, well, Apollo's amazing husband had followed Paul and Chiron's steps and become a teacher. Apollo loved that, loved seeing Percy with the kids. His hand reached out to link fingers with Percy, while the Jacksons tried to convince Laura that school was important, actually (a tough point to argue with two teachers). A soft smile spread over Apollo's lips as he watched the family he loved so dearly. His family.

[whispersinthedawn]

In concealed in coriolis, I dont know why but I have this image of Percy remembering his favorite songs in the future and maybe singing them in Coronis’ beautiful voice (I dunno if he translates it to ancient greek) and Apollo’s like DAMN. Thinking she whipped that up HWHAHAHAH do you think thats plausible? HWHAHAHHAHA

I can see Percy crooning to himself while he's happy, maybe after practicing weapons, or achieving something he's set out to. He probably WON'T translate, making Apollo more curious about the language then the music.

Also, I firmly believe that the music we like is very culture and time dependent. There might be some tunes that are just that catchy, but unless Percy picks the right song, I don't see Apollo being very impressed with the song itself so much as it being in another language altogether that even he has trouble understanding. There's also the economics of music - what sells is what is produced, and what is produced is played everywhere, so unless you're listening to alt music, for example, a lot of the popular genres are pretty simplistic and the songs sound very similar within the genre. Apollo is not going to be impressed with the song when he knows Coronis/Percy are capable of composing emotional, lyrical songs that can temporarily stop even a god's anger.

I also see Apollo being invested in lyrics - and the beauty of a lot of the really lyrical music lies in the language. Unless you're fluent, it's not going to come across. And Apollo is translating this language in his mind for the first time. It's not going to be pretty but functional.

But that's just what I think. You can have your own interpretation!

Wait Till You See Half The Things That Haven't Happened Yet

by ashilrak

“What do you want?” Percy asked. “I’m not going on a quest. I’m retired.”

Demigods didn’t quite work like that, but Apollo was kind enough not to correct him. If Apollo had wanted a quest, that’d be a different story.

“Not a quest, or even a favor,” Apollo said, putting on his best earnest expression. “It’s…more personal than that.”

Percy narrowed his eyes.

“What do you know about soulmates?” Apollo asked, rushing the words as if he was anxious.

— Or: Soulmates are real, but only Apollo and Aphrodite can identify the bonds. Apollo is determined to have Percy at his side, and he's a bit impatient in getting Percy there.
