#perpollo royal au

[relovaaa]

Did some brainstorming with some writer friends last night, and I now have a title for the Perpollo Royal AU:

The Ocean's Prince, the Sun's King

Also, I've changed the background a bit, so they're now the Greek gods but with royal customs. I'll be making a whole post about the political system later.

What do we think of the title? I might change it if a better name comes to mind, but I think this one is amazing.

From now on, posts about this fic will be tagged as "perpollo royal au" as well as the new title.

The second most-voted option will be my December project, the third most will be January, and the fourth will be February. After that, I'll work on them all interchangeably, but I feel like a month of dedication to each is what I need to get them all going.

Quick plot descriptions of each one:

Through the Wreckage: Two guys in a relationship: John and Carlos. They get into a car accident, John goes into a coma, angst ensues. Inspired by Would You by Marthe Jocelyn.

Reading ToA: A continuation of some of my favourite "PJO reads" series. The characters read ToA, the CotG trilogy, and the TSATS duology. There will also be a sequel after all of that.

Perpollo Royal AU: Apollo is in an arranged marriage but wants to be with Percy. His betrothed, Demos, completely approves and tries to play Cupid on multiple occasions, along with Percy's brother Anteros.

The Apollodyssey: Apollo loses control of the Oracle of Delphi, is turned mortal, and has to fight the combined army of Luke/Kronos and Python. Zeus won't turn him back until he gets back to Delos. The entire plot of EPIC ensues but I changed most of the characters.

The Apollodyssey and the "canon" of my AU: an explanation

I have three major projects in the works, one of which is a "PJO reads" fanfiction project in which the canon characters, plus some OCs, read Trials of Apollo. It's a continuation of some of my favourite series, which don't/won't go past Blood of Olympus, so most relationships are already pre-established.

After that saga, which will be 10 "books" long (ToA + CotG trilogy + TSATS duology), there will be a sequel about everyone's lives after the reading. That will end about two to three centuries after the reading with a major tragic event and a bittersweet ending, which you'll learn about in a few years once I get to writing it.

The whole entire series is the "canon" of my universe. All the lore, background information, relationships, etc., will be established at some point in that timeline.

The second project is the Apollodyssey, which is like fanfiction of my fanfiction. It is a PJO x EPIC the Musical AU, where I replace [most of] the EPIC characters with the ones from my "canon". If you're reading this, I'm going to assume you already know the premise of EPIC, so instead, I'm going to explain a few things in the fic that might confuse some people.

First of all, let me get into the background. This fic is a combination of PJO and ToA, with elements from both series. What happened before the fic began was that Luke/Kronos teamed up with Python to take over Olympus. Apollo lost control of the Oracle of Delphi, which caused Zeus to turn him mortal and force him to lead the war against the opposition, and he wouldn't be turned back until he landed on home shores. This is my version of the Trojan War.

My version of Ithaca is Delos, but the royal palace isn't actually on the island. What is there is a temple to Percy, Apollo, and Grover, the three main residents of the Palace of the Horizon. The palace itself is directly above that temple, hidden from the average mortal. I'll explain the idea and lore of the Palace of the Horizon in the future. This is also why Grover is the equivalent of Telemachus in this AU. While he may not be Percy and Apollo's child, he is still their family. Also, his character is more like Telemachus than any of my Perpollo kid OCs.

While I switched most of the EPIC characters for my OCs or PJO characters, I kept the following ones the same: Aeolus, Poseidon, Circe, Hermes, Scylla, Zeus, Calypso, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Ares, and Hera. Athena is also in it, but I have special plans for her. Those characters will all have their PJO characterizations, except Aeolus, Circe, Scylla, and Calypso.

The third project is my Perpollo Royal AU. I don't have much planned out yet, but I do plan to make it heavy on politics and overall worldbuilding. Also, in this AU, everyone is immortal and has their powers, but they're just that, immortals with powers. They aren't gods and they aren't a pantheon.

That's all for now, I might reblog this with an update to the overall lore once I've worked on everything some more.

Perpollo Royal AU planning is going swimmingly gang.

I work on fics depending on what's giving me the most brainrot, so the first chapter of the Apollodyssey could either be in two weeks or two months, we'll see what happens.

And no, I did not complete any homework despite having five straight days off, why do you ask?

Updates on my Perpollo fics:

Reading ToA: On the second half of the prologue currently

The Apollodyssey: Starting the first chapter soon

Royal AU (I still don't have a name but I'm sure as hell going to write it): Need to put the notes I made in humanities into an Ellipsus file and then I'll continue worldbuilding in there

[relovaaa]

AHHHH

I just got an idea for a Perpollo Royal AU 😭

I'm not even done outlining The Apollodyssey but here we are gang...

Also if that were to happen at any point would people be interested in it? The Apollodyssey is my main priority but this might be fun to write.
