Nico laughing echoes with the sound of bones rattling

Hand Annabeth a few strands of thick thread while she speaks and in seconds she'll have woven the strongest rope imaginable

When Piper speaks, you swear you can hear the voices of all those you love in her words

As the sun shines on Will, his blond hair catches his father's light creating such a bright illuminance that it's impossible to look at him without squinting

When Thalia and Jason stand in a storm, self created or natural, their eyes flash with each lightning bolt that shoots through the sky

Look at Hazel for too long and you'll soon see the ghostly outline of her skull

To know what Percy is feeling, you'll only have to look at the sea around him. The ocean tells what his face does not

There's a quiet strength in Leo, if he's not careful he could crush solid metal as if it were merely clay

Frank does not need to shout to be heard, if he wished, he could speak only in a whisper and everyone would hear his words as if they'd been spoken directly in your ear. You cannot ignore War

My man

The Chalice of the Gods except instead of Percy doing quests for gods in order to get recommendation letters, Poseidon shows up at New Rome and terrifies New Rome University’s admissions office

[polluxxxart]

So Percy is definitely in like All the government databases.

I like to think the real reason that he and Sally faced like zero legal consequences for anything in TLT (Gabe, the Arch)—or, frankly, from any of Percy’s school mishaps and destruction of property—is that Poseidon managed to register Sally and Percy under some sort of confusing diplomatic immunity.

I mean, Poseidon is the literal king of all the oceans. I feel like his family should get a little diplomatic immunity. He’s been on-board with making both of them immortal. Legal protection just seems to fit that vibe.

I can imagine Percy’s file showing up during The Arch incident and some agent being like

Agent J: Wait a minute. Prosecuting this kid might get messy.

Agent S: What? He just committed an act of terrorism, Bill.

Agent J: Yeah, but here he’s listed as qualifying for— what is this? diplomatic immunity? This is crazy. Do you know who his dad is?

Agent S: No. Why?

Agent J: Neither do I. I can’t find it in the paperwork.

Honestly the real reason they’re never prosecuted has less to do with the status and more to do with the fact that the paperwork is So Confusing. Basically everything is redacted by the Mist and no one can figure out where any of the paperwork came from. —Teams of people getting headaches from reading over the paper trail for too long and experiencing bouts of temporary amnesia where they can’t remember what they were looking at and why —Agents determined to stay late at work only to get home and realize that they’ve left the office and can’t remember looking over the files

There’s a whole office of agents and a legal team that have dedicated themselves to working their way around the problem so that something like this Never Happens Again with their paperwork. They’ll draw straws to see who gets to pour over the paperwork today. They try taking notes but they all turn out as gibberish and foreign letters. They have a tally keeping track of how many times Steve drives home during lunch or Nancy ends up with a migraine or Emmy finds herself napping on the office couch, or how many legal documents Greg has accidentally shredded right after he filled them out.

Their office has garnered so much attention that it’s become a government-funded psych experiment. The national defense office wants to get its hands on whatever crazy voodoo they’re using to cover up the Jackson history.

There’s also a betting pool going on about what makes this kid so important and who wants to keep him off the radar.

Let’s not even start on the foreign agencies that get involved after the Giant War.

They all learned pretty quickly that technology wasn’t going to help them. Any footage they get of Percy Jackson winds up scrambled and confusing. So the best solution is resorting back to grass-root methods:

Field agents.

Sadie: Guys, I think we’re being followed.

Percy: *grabbing for his pocket* What?

Annabeth: Oh, I see what you’re looking it. No it’s alright. Weapon down, Percy. It’s the NSA.

Percy: Todd? *his eyes scan the crowd*

Annabeth: Yeah

Percy: *waves at a man in a baseball cap who freezes and ducks behind a kiosk in the mall*

Percy: It’s ok. It’s just Todd.

Sadie: Ok. Hold up. You have an NSA agent?

Sadie: Don’t they usually use phones or something?

Annabeth: Percy doesn’t have a phone

Percy: Too much bad demigod juju

Percy: I thought Todd was FBI

Annabeth: No, Seaweed Brain. FBI checks in on alternating Thursdays

Percy: Right

Annabeth: *to Sadie* FBI are the worst, honestly. I feel like we spend all day saving their asses.

Percy: Remember Vince? And the corn dog incident?

Sadie: I mean that doesn’t sound too bad.

Annabeth: There were empousai. Venom, right in the corn dogs. I’ve never seen a mortal drop that fast.

Percy: Or Elise and the subway scramble

Annabeth: That mishap with Randy on the 58th floor

Percy: *Looking back at Todd* You know, I miss Jamie.

Annabeth: Yeah, Jamie was nice.

Sadie: What happened to Jamie?

Annabeth: Oh, no. Nothing like that. They took her off the case.

Percy: She was too friendly.

Annabeth: She always waved back.

Sadie: . . . Right. And why are they following you again?

Percy: Annabeth has a theory.

Annabeth: We think it has something to do with Percy’s stint as a domestic terrorist.

Sadie: A wat now?

Percy: I blew up an arch.

[polluxxxart]

people seem to forget how smart Percy is. he's not book smart, but then, that's not the kind of smart he has to be, that's not the kind of smart his survival depends on.

Percy is an insanely good strategist. we don't often pick up on it, because he's placed himself right next to the smartest strategist at Camp, but he's a veritable chess master. book one, at twelve years old, we see him manipulate Procrustes to fall for his own trap in minutes. book two, he manipulates Luke into confessing his entire evil plan in front of the whole Camp, instantly clearing Chiron's name and revealing that hey there's a storm coming. we see that trend continuing all the way up until House of Hades, where Annabeth herself has to take a step back and reevaluate how she sees him.

Percy can be oblivious, certainly, but any time he acts downright dumb, he's doing so to make his opponent underestimate him or annoy them. he's loud, and brash, and speaks before he thinks, and honestly his sarcasm may get him killed one day, but all of that meshes together into a facade that he's happy to hide behind so that no one knows how smart he really is.

Ok wait what if new rome had a policy where swordfighting is like a social club until 21 which is when you have to be a legit part of the military till like 30 instead of having child soldiers. So then you'll have a 29 year old Reyna convinced Percy is a god cause a) he's carrying Juno, the first god in new rome in like 500 years and b) he's a child but then Juno introduces him as the son of Neptune and Reyna's all like

Reyna: Why are you here

Percy: To deliver lazy ass old ladies *jazz hands*

Reyna *muttering I hate kids*: Why aren't you in school

Percy: School's a bitch

Throughout the whole first week Reyna is desperately trying to make Percy go to school in New Rome which leads to the following incidents in no particular order

a) he kidnaps Hannibal the elephant

b) somehow managed to sneak out of school multiple times

c) organises a protest with the other teens

d) defeats Ovtavian (who's 32) in a swordfight in less than a minute

Poor Reyna's losing her mind. She already lost her fellow praetor and now she had to deal with a teenager who was acting out

this is when Mars shows up ofc and personally requests Percy to be on the quest and everyone's like...he's a kid???

Percy: I thought you'd be glad to be rid of me

Reyna: That doesn't mean I want a child to go on a deadly quest???

Percy *indignantly*: I'm almost 18... I think I still don't have my memories

Percy Jackson/Annabeth Chase

Dark Percy Jackson, Percy has god like powers, Scared Annabeth Chase

Tartarus had its own rules. Fire was drinkable. The ground was the body of a dark god. The air was acid, and demigods could be turned into smokey corpses. Compared to that, the idea of controlling poisons was… easy. Percy glared at the poisonous lake around him. He focused, and reached with the part of his mind that allowed him to control water. The poisonous tide stopped. The fumes blew away from him and back towards the goddess. The lake of poison rolled toward her in tiny waves and rivulets. Akhlys took a hesitant step back. “What is this?!” She looked alarmed, scared even. Percy thought it was a good look on her. “Poison,” Percy snarled at her. “That’s your specialty, right?”

In which Percy Jackson, hopefully, manages to win a war, flip off Annabeth Chase, and take a much-needed nap. Not in that order. Part 2 of I Hear You're Alive (How Disappointing)

Tartarus Survival, BAMF Annabeth Chase, Protective Poseidon

The Olympian gods have a history of making monumentally bad decisions and not learning from their mistakes. Of course that'll come back to bite them, and everyone seems to think Percy will be the one doing the biting. Thing is, he's tired and just wants to live a normal life. Too bad literally no one believes him except his friends, and now he has to survive the consequences of yet another one those monumentally bad decisions. AKA: Tartarus nearly destroyed Percy the first time, in more ways than one. It's worse the second time. So much worse. And this time, he has no way out. He desperately clings to the one thing he knows without a doubt: 'I have to stay alive for when Annabeth comes for me'. Because she will.

As Annabeth leads the Seven on a treacherous quest to meet him at the Doors of Death, Percy fights through a wasteland of pain, torture and difficult choices. Surrounded by monsters, alone in the darkest corner of the underworld, he starts to question whether he's a good kid anymore. Final chapter is an AU following on from chapter 66.

[polluxxxart]

percy and annabeth yin and yang annabeth being seen as made of marble and stoic and the perfect leader but then she smiles - she smiles and everything kind of stops and suddenly sunlight is filling the entire room and bright and lovely and beautiful and not so cold then u have percy who’s all smirks and mischievous smiles and that wonderful light in his eyes but then he pauses and there’s danger there’s coldness there’s nothing and he’s empty and he’s dark and he’s everything you want to steer clear of

[polluxxxart]

thinking about percy and annbeths dynamic in botl is always interesting, but it really boils down to how differently they view relationships.

annabeth has understood love to be conditional. things with her father are good when she doesn't attract that many monsters. her mother only acknowledges her when she accomplishes something good. her other examples of love come from grover, thalia, and luke, who all prioritize someone or something above her, and she understands that as she's not good enough for them.

meanwhile, percy's understanding of love comes from his relationship with sally, who made it known that even if she has to work a lot or send him to boarding school or marry a guy he doesn't like, she loves him. grover searching, and tyson going to live with posiden doesn't phase him because he knows they aren't doing those things because he isn't enough.

that contrast is why botl was so hard. because annabeth still thinks that percy would abandon her if he finds someone or something better, and percy doesn't think to reassure her because he thinks that she understands it's a given that if he goes away, he'll always come back for her. he doesn't know what she needs assurance of.

she thinks she's losing percy to rachel the way she 'lost' thalia to the hunters, grover to searching, and luke to kronos. it doesn't cross percy's mind that she thinks he might leave, because the thought of leaving never occurred to him.

[polluxxxart]

so are empathy links a thing from greek mythology or did riordan write himself into a corner with the no phones thing and decided his next best option was to make Percy and Grover literal soulmates

[polluxxxart]

going back to the whole “Percy’s self analysis of himself vs reality” thing again because its so absurdly funny how Percy would not describe himself as someone who needs to be in charge, or even desires it, but that’s only because he simply assumes the leadership position naturally like 99% the time…. like he has to be in charge. He has to be calling the shots. He has to be in control of the process. Whenever he’s not (Thalia, Jason, etc) he can’t stand it.
