Does Truth Have a Moral? is UPDATED
After almost a year and a half of waiting... chapter 7 is out :)
It's early. Peeking through the blinds of a small New York apartment, mellow rays of sunlight flit across a kitchen's dusty cupboards. A glass of stale water rests on the counter. Where the home would usually be bustling about with a little family, there's silence.
At the table, there's a book drooping in the hands of a woman who looks like she's been reading for hours (she has). Everything about her whispers tired. The slouch of her spine, the bags under her eyes, the creases in her forehead. Sally Jackson used to be beautiful. While Percy would fight anyone who suggested otherwise, she knows the truth. She is no longer a pretty woman. She is drained.
The book in her hands paints her as an angel. (A word about my mother, before you meet her. Her name is Sally Jackson and she's the best person in the world). Sally's chest had heaved at that line. Her baby always gave her too much credit. What kind of mother—let alone the "best person in the world”—loses a child for almost a year? Lets him slip into Tartarus? Sits in her home as he fights one war after another?
Paul slips into a chair next to her, breaking her unforgiving train of thought and quietly pushing an apple into Sally's hand. "You've been reading for hours. Percy will come home when it's safe."
"It should never be unsafe to come home," Sally snaps. Not a second later, the anger seeps away. This time, her voice is muffled in the fabric of her husband's sweater, strained against the tightness in her throat. "It should never be unsafe to come home."
There, in the stillness of her little kitchen, Sally Jackson cries for her baby boy. The one who begs her for blue pancakes every Saturday morning. Who washes the dishes from the couch with his weird brain-water abilities and curses when he inevitably gets soap everywhere. Who makes Zeus puns and laughs at the sky when it booms in anger. Who gives her credit for being the best person in the world, when really, that person is him.
That boy opens the front door about ten seconds later. "Mom?”
“Percy?” She whips her head around, and there he stands, Annabeth close behind. In an instant, Sally is on her feet and yanking her son to her, gripping him so tight her knuckles pale. They don't say anything, but the way mother and son cling to each other speaks volumes.
"I'm okay, mom," Percy finally whispers. "Are you?"
She only pulls him tighter, body trembling with soft sobs. Images of her little boy, twelve years old and plummeting from the Gateway Arch into the Mississippi River hundreds of feet below flash through her mind. She'll never let him go again. Not after knowing what happens when he leaves.

HELLO MY LOVELY READERS
i am not, in fact, dead. i simply had writers block for a year and a half.
this is me announcing that i will FINALLY be posting the next chapter of does truth have a moral either tomorrow or the next day!! WOOOO!!
and, as a thank you present for all of my wonderful tumblr followers, here is a little sneak peek of what is to come ;)
….
Percy blinks, and the door to the apartment explodes off its hinges. Shrieks fill the room; wood splinters against the wall. Jumping to his feet, Percy's brain grasps onto a thousand details at once: to his right, Sally and Paul grabbing the boys and fleeing into the kitchen; to his left, Annabeth flinging the coffee table between them and the enemy. The burning stench of battery acid. The plate of cookies tumbling to the floor. The wallpaper melting into gooey puddles against the baseboards.
A diamond-shaped lizard head, the size of a dinner plate and covered in silvery scales, peeks around the doorframe. Then a second. And then a third.
"Run," Percy says.
MUAHAHAHA!! i won’t say anything more bc if you guys have waited a YEAR AND A HALF for a new chapter… you can wait another two days.
sending all of my love and gratitude! you guys are truly the best and i am EXCITED for the update!!
are you?

Mission report December 16, 1991
26 years ago today, the Winter Soldier was sent to assassinate Howard and Maria Stark
and he did GREAT!!!!!! GO BUCKY
I rarely post art here but, uh, I can’t stop thinking about this fanfic.
Of you.
His breath catches.
Of me.
Percy is surprised at the number of times he has been surprised today.
This tops them all.
He starts speaking before his brain is done processing. "Of... of me?" His tongue feels like sandpaper in his mouth. "Why... I'm not—I can't... why me?"
Does Truth have a moral?

AAAAAHHHHHH OH MY GOSH I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS I AM JAJFOWBDKDOAOAK
the fact that you literally made fanart of my work. i am breathless. i am. so. honored. like. this literally inspired me to get off my butt and start writing again.
and hello it’s also amAZING?? i love this concept?? just. thank you so much. i don’t even have the words.
ok ok i’m done bless you 🙏🥺😩🥰
i wholeheartedly believe i deserve fangs
how did this get 13k notes
but also. respect
Okay.. so suppose you’re a fanfiction writer….
And I’m a fan of your stories…
would it be alright to bribe you with a fanart that i made,
so I can read the next chapter?
:) just asking…. but srsly tho… can you bribe a fanfiction writer with fanart of their stories?
Yessssss bribe ussssssss
Someone once gave me fan art of a story I finished years ago and I immediately wrote more, almost exclusively for them.
So yes.
Hell yeah bribe us
Anyone who’s getting ideas - yes, I am extremely susceptible to bribes! XD
if you made fanart of my story i would probably cry ngl
fanfic speedrun: write the scene you want to write and skip the rest of the fic
(same goes on the reader side of things)
I’m seeing people on this post who think that what I’m saying is, “Write out of order, starting with the things you enjoy most.” And while that’s fine advice, it’s not actually what I said.
What I said was, “Only write the thing that’s fun, and don’t write the rest.”
Write one shots. Write drabbles. Write ficlets. If you have 5 interesting scenes but you can’t figure out how to tie them together into a fic, then write 5 separate ficlets, post them in a series, and when you get another idea for that series just plop it right in there and rearrange the works into the right order.
You don’t have to write longfic to write fanfic.
I love one shots. One shots are awesome. One shots don’t fuck around. One shots are a hit of pure, distilled fandom straight into the veins. They know what they’re here to accomplish and by God they accomplish it with as little extraneous bullshit as possible. Sometimes you don’t want a 30 chapter slow-burn epic five course meal; it too much. Sometimes you just want to down a double-expresso one shot of your favorite character and ride that high for the rest of the afternoon.
What about like, oneshots that need context? i.e. how a ship got to be a ship, what events led to X and Y
Write that as your summary, then do the thing. You don’t actually need to explain in detail. For example:
A and B are celebrating their first wedding anniversary.
The team are on the run from [Big Bad] and while they’re holed up in a hotel they plan their next move
Boom. Done. How they met and fell in love and got married doesn’t matter. How Big Bad found them or what happens next doesn’t matter. You can write those things another time, if you ever want to, but for now you can just do the part that you want.
And if you never want to write more? Okay. You don’t have to.
Just write that scene. Your readers can imagine the rest.
Side note: I just. Realized I don’t have to publish anything to be a writer. I don’t have to finish anything. I can leave things on my computer for years, occasionally showing friends and that’s it.
Why was I making my writing more important than any other hobby I have?
I kept telling myself “I don’t have to make my hobbies profitable” and just. Forgot that it included writing.
good good good advice maybe i’ll write things now
the whump community is so funny to me like
one day you’ll see a post like
“this is a reminder to drink lots of water!!!! 🥰🥰🥰💝💝 stay healthy and hydrated!!!! you are cared about !”
and then you scroll down and see
“the whip cracked down on him for the twentieth time. he hadn’t had the luxury of water in days”
and i love it
oh my gosh i feel like a psychopath for laughing
Hi!! Do you have any guidelines for requesting fics/drabbles/art?
none at all! just message me or comment on a fic whatever is in your brain and i’ll see if i can make it happen :)
i am fine thank you for asking! though recently there has been a darkness growing within me
