    Summary

    “And what, exactly, are you trying to determine?”

    Percy considered this question very seriously before responding. “If I’m going to commit a felony. Or move into a decommissioned lighthouse, where I will live at the top. And nobody will know I live there. And there will be a button I can press to launch that lighthouse into the stars should someone get close to my location.” A pause. “Or get ice cream at that 24-hour shop in town. I haven’t decided yet.”

    Dionysus stared at them.

    Not a dramatic divine stare. Just the kind of look a very tired adult gives when a teenager says something so concerning they don’t even know where to begin.

    “....Right.”

    Summary

    Percy was four years old the first time his dreams led him to his many-great-grandmother’s chambers- a woman long dead yet somehow still seated in front of him, fingers grasping at her hair tightly as she wails about a wooden horse on the beach while her servants look on in pity. He feels the weight of something ancient and heavy settle on his shoulders in that moment.

    He was in his 1st grade classroom when his teacher screamed at him for making up lies about gods and monsters and scaring the other children. He was eight when his mother's own visions become too much for her to bear.

    He's at Yancy when Grover Underwood finally finds him and says "I believe you" for the first time. And as Percy begins to feel lighter, that ancient weight that has followed him his whole life slowly dissipating, he realizes that being believed can be just as horrifying as being thought mad.

    Summary

    The Curse of Achilles; a curse that made the user nearly invulnerable, a curse that Perseus Jackson accepted– had willingly taken on.

    Mostly at least. He had one incredible vulnerability: the low point of his back, hard to reach with his armor on. But if he got so much as a paper cut?

     

    Or Annabeth flipping him on concrete was a good example of what could happen. Shit hurt.

    Summary

    “Yo ‘Rach,” Percy paused his faces and blew on Estelle to tickle her tiny curls. “Are you going to let me help with your painting project?”

    “As a last resort, maybe.” She laughed, “as much as I love how you want to help, last time you got close to a ladder, you fell off it three times.”

    Percy had a face full of false outrage that cracked as Estelle laughed with delight. “Discrimination!” he yelped, playfully raising his hand and wagging a finger. “I was pushed.”

    Summary

    Percy wasn't even entirely sure if this was actually his Dad. Or if it was his Dad he would even listen to him considering the sheer lack of absence in his life before now. But that was fine it wasn't really about his Dad hearing him.

    It was honestly more about airing some of his frustrations somewhere that he didn't feel like he could get in trouble. Because he didn't want to sound ungrateful for this chance. But...camp was a lot, and he hadn't even been here a full day!

    Or

    What starts out as a vent from Percy changes the course of the books.
