Hiii!! I recently saw your post about how german people think and tbh, I have been learning German for about 3 years now and I still have to make a very conscious decision to place the verb am ende, or in the second position and I don't know if that ever goes away. That's the beauty of learning languages i guess.
I wanted to ask you if you have any fic recs, or german tv show recs, I need a german thing to hyperfixate on, lmao.
Hi! I'm glad to know I'm not alone with my syntax struggles :) We will prevail one day, I'm sure!
Now, about German tv shows... If you look at my blog, you'll find posts about my recent discoveries: Tatort Saarbrücken, Polizeiruf (Vincent Ross' cases) and the last couple of seasons of SOKO Leipzig.
Yes, they are cop shows. But! The two male leads and the two female leads in Tatort Saarbrücken are highly shippable, and there's a ton of fic! Lots of AUs, too, if crime series are not your thing. The same goes for Polizeiruf: Vincent Ross is a genderqueer police detective and it's gotten a lot of attention from fic authors :)
Last but not least, my beautiful beloved, Moritz Brenner, Leipzig police detective and queer extraordinaire... Unfortunately, he mostly shows up in fic as secondary character in cross-overs with Tatort Saarbrücken and Polizeiruf. But those fics are amazing.
P.S. If you prefer teen drama, there's the German version of SKAM: it's called "Druck" and you can find it on youtube (and many fics on AO3).

The Lightning Thief Era Rec List
In light of the first season of the PJO TV Show coming out and the flood of new fanfics that followed, here's a list of fic recs over 5k that are set in that time period. The corresponding list with fic recs under 5k is here (link TBD). These fics do not contain spoilers for the later books/seasons.
The Love of the Sea by amythestusmoon
G | 6.5k | Complete
Sally Jackson/Poseidon, Percy Jackson & Poseidon, Percy Jackson & Sally Jackson
Pre-The Lightning Thief, Family Bonding, Protective Poseidon
Poseidon knew, deep down, the moment his child was conceived. Could feel the spark of it, the way he had for millennia before. Could feel the sea reaching for its newest progeny. This child would be strong, it knew it. He knew it. It had to be. He had brought a curse upon it for his own selfishness, and he knew one brother, at least, would punish the child for his broken oath as well.
When Perseus was born, Poseidon felt it spark in his heart. He felt the currents of the sea around him dance, rejoicing with him.
leaving like a father (running like water) by avesy
G | 6.6k | Complete
Percy Jackson & Poseidon, Sally Jackson & Poseidon, Percy Jackson & Sally Jackson
Family angst, Pre-The Lightning Thief, Good Parent Poseidon
After fathering a forbidden child, Poseidon is forced to watch Percy grow up from afar. No matter how painful the distance is, there is an endless list of those who would want to harm him—monsters and gods alike—and Poseidon knows he needs to keep him separate from that world for as long as possible. But when Zeus’ Master BoIt is stolen and Percy has become the prime suspect, Poseidon quickly finds that he can no longer outrun Fate.
Across the Hall by Deerlie_03
T | 7.8k | Complete
Percy Jackson & Sally Jackson
POV Outsider, Percy Jackson needs a hug, Pre-The Lightning Thief
The lives of the Jackson family pre-The Lightning Thief as told by a mortal neighbour who wants nothing but the best for the young woman who recently moved in across the hall, pregnant and without anybody in her life, and her unborn son
Neon Lights Verse by rycbarm123
T | 11k | Complete
Percy Jackson & Poseidon, Percy Jackson & Triton, Percy Jackson & Hermes
Seafam, background abusive Gabe Ugliano, Murder
Percy has a very bad, no good life after his stepfather enters the picture. It goes from bad to worse, and no one is in his corner.
Thing is, he also apparently has a whole other side of his family he didn't know about.
Of Storms and Bloodlines by inkncoffee
G | 13k | Complete
Percy Jackson & Poseidon
Canon Compliant, Father-son Relationship, Bonding with Animals
When people thought of Poseidon they thought of the sea; Poseidon, Lord of the Seas, Commander of the Waves, the Stormbringer. Upon consideration they would add Earthshaker, for catastrophic events such as earthquakes were hard to forget. Few remembered, however, that Poseidon was also Lord of the Horses. Stormbringer and Earthshaker tended to squeeze that one out.
Percy had been able to talk to horses for as long as he could remember. He liked to think he understood them. Although he's not entirely sure why the new stallion thinks he's its foal.
Poseidon is not jealous that Percy thinks a horse makes a better father figure than himself. At all.
forbidden things have a secret charm by phoenix_flying
T | 18k | Complete
Percy Jackson & Luke Castellan, Percy Jackson & Annabeth Chase, Percy Jackson & Alabaster Torrington
Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Good Luke Castellan, Book 1: The Lightning Thief
That was his first day at Camp Half-Blood. He wished he’d known how briefly he would get to enjoy his new home.

bring the forgotten dawn by poisedwalrus
G | 22k | Complete
Percy Jackson & Annabeth Chase, Percy Jackson & Grover Underwood, Percy Jackson & Nico di Angelo
Time Travel, Unreliable Narrator, Annabeth is ready to kill a god
“What is it?” Grover asks, “What’s with that weird look on your face?”
“Just trying to figure out if turning me in will get us enough bounty money to buy our way to LA.” Percy says, craning his neck towards the news van.
“We are not turning you in to the police.” Grover presses his head back into the alleyway.
“Why not?” Percy says. They could use a bit of cash. “You guys can just break me out afterwards, right?”
Annabeth looks like she’s considering it.
“No, guys,” Grover says. “No.”
If Percy has to spend the rest of his life cleaning up after the gods, then he might as well start from the beginning.
The Trade AU by Triscribe
T | 29k | Last Updated March 14, 2024
Percy Jackson & Poseidon, Percy Jackson & Thalia Grace, Luke Castellan & Annabeth Chase & Thalia Grace
Poseidon loves Percy, Protective Thalia Grace, Emotional Hurt/Comfort
“Thalia Grace,” said the man, the god, as the hairs on the back of her neck stood up. “Your father has just killed someone I cared very deeply for. I’m here to make certain he doesn’t do it again." Shit. Before Thalia or Luke or Grover could react, the god reached behind him, and pulled out-
-a kid. A little kid, no bigger than Annabeth. A boy with curly blonde hair, and red-rimmed eyes, who stared at the four of them with the sort of dazed expression that belonged on people just rescued from the wreckage of natural disasters.
Trading Tomorrow by Darkmagyk, loosingletters
T | 44k | Complete
Percy Jackson/Luke Castellan, Percy Jackson/Annabeth Chase, Percy Jackson & Annabeth Chase
Time Travel, Quests, Brotherhood
Percy Jackson arrives at Camp Half-Blood bruised and bleeding, with the knowledge that he's the son of a god and his mother is dead. His little display with the Minotaur has caught the attention of the camp. But he’s not sure it is good attention, yet.
Only the Hermes Cabin's not-quite Co-counselor Theseus, ‘call me Theo,’ doesn't treat him like a fascinating zoo exhibit. Which would be a relief, except he looks exactly like Percy: same green eyes, same trouble making smile, same black hair. The only differences are the fact that Theo is six years older, covered in battle scars, and the black tattoo on his arm. A trident and the letters SPQR.
Theo is eighteen, powerful, and unclaimed. And his resemblance to Percy could set a dangerous precedent.
The Constriction in Breathing Air by DustShattersLikeGlass
G | 51k | Complete
Percy Jackson & Poseidon, Percy Jackson & Sally Jackson, Percy Jackson & Annabeth Chase & Grover Underwood
Smart Percy Jackson, The gods like Percy, BAMF Percy Jackson
New York was doused in rain. A category five hurricane touched down out at sea. An underwater earthquake followed; tectonic plates shifted; water was sucked away from the shorelines. Warnings were sent to surrounding coastal cities.
A hospital in Manhattan remained unaffected. There was no panic in the air and a bubble of safety around the building. Nurses chatted as they worked, talked about the rain, talked about the storm, talked about the beautiful, haunting newborn in room 316 whose heart worriedly stuttered anytime he was away from his mother.
The room was quiet. The mother slept. The baby, born too late for mortals but too early for anything else, was awake, staring at the ceiling from his cocoon of wires and blankets.
A drop of water ran from the faucet, and as it hit the sink it formed. A Greek God, ancient and old, powerful and wild, condensed into the form of a mortal. He looked fondly on the woman, before stepping to the cradle and looking down at his son.
Cresting waves met the depths.
“Hello Perseus,” Poseidon, the Earthshaker, Stormbringer, Father of Horses, rumbled, his voice layered with blessings and ancient rites. “Welcome to the world, μικρός μου Πρίγκιπας των Θαλασσών.”
Stolen Lightning by undeath230
M | 64k | Complete
Percy Jackson & Thalia Grace, Percy Jackson & Luke Castellan, Thalia Grace & Luke Castellan
Competent Chiron, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, BAMF Thalia Grace
Percy Jackson thought he was a normal kid. That was until one fateful day at a museum changed his life permanently.
He wasn't sure about it at first, but now he is. He definitely didn't want to be a half-blood.
Son of the Sea God by KeeganageeK
G | 102k | Complete
Percy Jackson & Annabeth Chase & Grover Underwood, Percy Jackson & Poseidon, Percy Jackson & Sally Jackson
Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Percy raised by Poseidon, Powerful Percy Jackson
In one world, Poseidon offers to build Sally Jackson a palace under the sea. When she refuses, Sally is left to raise her son by herself in the mortal realm. But what if there was another way? In a different world, Poseidon cannot bring himself to leave his new family and stays to raise his son, Perseus Jackson. Now Percy faces a war between the gods, a new camp with new people, and a quest all the while keeping his past a secret.
