but you can call me ina; minors do not follow, any pronouns, lesbian
currently really into Percy Jackson! pjo multishipper (esp perpollo), seafam, athenide au, AND MORE
A short Perpollo (Percy Jackson/Apollo) fic by me!
A god can only watch Percy Jackson give and give and give so many times before he has to show him what he can take. And if Apollo knows one thing, it's how to give a proper offering.
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Percy: Guys, real talk. Whenever Apollo holds me and calls me baby or precious, I get these weird soft feelings. I used to feel small and loathe it... Now all I want is to be in his arms and to be called baby boy. His pretty voice sings to me while I'm pudding in his arms.
Percy, sweating: What's wrong with me, guys?!
Thalis, horrified: By the gods.
Grover, excited: Percy, you're--
Thalia: IN DANGER! ABORT MISSION, DUDE!
Grover: IN LOVE--- wait what?
no like i need a time travel!percy fic where the author actually let's him feel the full breadth of grief. like i need a tragedy, i need the devastation, i need no amount of sea fam or olympians treasuring him to be enough.
i need percy jackson to stand on an ancient beach, salt air free of pollutants swirling around him, sea foam dancing along his feet, the power of an ascending demigod beneath his skin and none of it is ENOUGH!!!!!! his mother, his sister, annabeth, grover, his friends, his family, his camp, everything and everyone gone!!! the graves he left behind!!!!! the people he will never get to see again!!!!!! the fact that not a single thing will be the same by the time he gets back to them!!!! not a single fucking thing!!!!!!!
ao3 authors please give me that and i will owe you my life
HELLO MOOTS AND FRIENDS i recently moved into a new house and its wonderful but suddenly struggling so hard to slip back into my percy jackson fixation......... and i have too many fic ideas to let this go so please send me your BEST fanfic recs (esp if they are deep cuts bc i feel i've read almost every single major popular one) or else i fear my adhd autism brain may move on to something else...... like tomodachi or maybe spiderman again sigh
Get comfortable because this is going to be long. I'll give you a whole feast, feel free to choose <3

HELLO i am back!!!! i have moved across the state of florida to a lovely little farm with chickens!!, a pool, and lots of trees and land! our property backs up to a horse pasture and they say hello everyday. it's quiet and peaceful and i love it so so much. i've got wifi again and will get back to writing and percy jackson posting! have missed you all
sorry im in a HATER mood today but i will not be gaslit into believing THE annabeth chase and THE percy jackson would lose the gray streaks in their hair. there would probably be something poetic about the streak growing out as they worked and processed the trauma of holding the sky (and let's be honest, the entire first war) but that character development is dead in the water bc mere months after the fact, percy is kidnapped and they're both thrown into ANOTHER traumatizing war. that ends with - you guessed it, them not processing their trauma.
listen, i love dark!apollo (in fact, i'd say my own fanfic skirts the line a bit, depending on how you read into that open ending and his actions, he flirts with some darker themes) but there is something to be said for soft!apollo.
an apollo who is the first to notice percy's mental health in shambles after the wars, who sees his quiet struggle through college, and keeps an eye out on the boy turning man who takes care of everyone but himself. who, despite being one of the most friendly people in camp, has a serious amount of walls up in regards to his own well being. i love an apollo who gently prods at these things, let's percy know he has an unjudgmental sounding board, and goes out of his way to treat percy like a person.
like nearly everyone in percy's life puts him on this pedestal (in fact, rr WRITES him on a pedestal which is why it's so glaringly obvious when he mischaracterizes him bc no way is percy jackson pissing his pants bc he's scared like be fr - i could write an essay on how rick doesn't know how to show character's vulnerabilities without bastardizing who they are but i digress) and i love the version of apollo who makes a conscious choice to not.
those sorts of stories between apollo and percy are so lovely and healing!!
GOOD MORNING!! sorry for being mia friends (old and new), i sort of got struck by the ao3 curse. had an ultrasound on saturday that found a tumor on my ovary (as well as some cysts which are more normal). it's likely fine but i've been in a weird headspace ever since LOL i will get back to writing and perpollo posting soon <3
