    Summary

    (Still, Percy swallows, following her eyes out to the horizon. "I don't understand. I don't understand why I'm here," he tells her.

    Through a slow sigh, Athena counters, "Some things don't need to be understood. They just need to happen.”)

    Rescued from death by the hands of Athena, Percy finds himself wandering through ancient Greece without a true destination. Within time, he learns that the borders of Ithaca hold more than he could have ever imagined.

    When he and a war-torn Odysseus are pulled far away from the kingdom, thrown back into a test by the Gods, only two questions remain: will they be able to work together to get home, and what will they give to get there?

    Summary

    "Congratulations, Jackson. You won the war. Your prize? A one-way ticket to the Bronze Age. Good luck surviving my family without a cell phone." — Kronos’s final, petty parting words.

    Percy Jackson just wanted a blue coke, a long nap, and maybe a chance to finally go home. Instead, as the Titan King dissolves into dust, he throws one last, catastrophic screw you and blasts Percy straight back to Ancient Greece.

    But this isn't the romanticized, mythic past Percy's heard about. It’s a chaotic, terrifying era where the gods are at their petty peak, monsters don't stay dead for more than twenty minutes, and demigods are around every corner.

    Equipped with nothing but Riptide, a shirt covered in Titan dust, and a severely depleted supply of patience, Percy tries to navigate a world of the past.

    The writing in the first 3 chapters is in a different style but after that it's better. so read at least 4 chapters

    Summary

    This Witch of the Crossroads must have been a really close family friend for his parents to entrust his baby sister's life to her care. But Zagreus has never heard of Persephone having a handmaiden, and he's starting to think it isn't because he's been intentionally left out of the loop.

    (Meanwhile, time can't seem to 'flow freely forth' despite his sister's best efforts. Maybe this mystery is related to that?)

    Summary

    There were rumors, quickly squashed by the island kingdom, that the Prince of Ithaca had grown wings on his feet when he was a boy. There were rumors that he had wings elsewhere too; on his back and behind his ears. They were squashed even quicker. Anyone who could get a look at the prince could see that his body was not adorned in feathers of any kind.

    None of them knew, and Ithaca’s royal family planned to keep it that way. Fearing that this problem of unknown origin (curse or yet another divine being’s fling with a mortal) would be seen as an insult to the gods and bring down their wrath. Odysseus has grown used to having to cut down or hide the extra appendages, but the struggle only grew when he was forced into the Trojan War.

    Now, with the war at its end and his fleet ready to return home, he only has one thing on his mind; getting home to his wife and son.

     

    OR

     

    An alternate universe where Hermes's relation to one particular Greek hero becomes a bit more prominent, and he suddenly has a much better reason to help Odysseus on his journey home.

    Summary

    Percy had always known he was different, but he hadn't expected it to be because he was a demigod. But could being a son of Poseidon really account for everything?

    With a broken oath not his doing hanging over his head, Percy had his work cut out for him, that was for sure.

    AKA

    A canon rewrite where Percy is a legacy of Styx in addition to a son of Poseidon. He just doesn't know it yet.
