Even with Percy’s back to him, Jason knew they would end up being paired together. It didn’t matter that Percy had been avoiding him all morning. It didn’t matter that he’d stormed off the night before and left Jason alone at the armory. They were expected to participate in the Three-Legged Race because they were head counselors and needed to set a good example.
As a little heads up (because I'm excited and trying to hold off yapping about it), next month I'll have a new event idea for you all to vote on!
This one will be a lot more casual, with the idea to help bridge the gap between the main prompt events and, if it goes ahead, then it'll start up once Jercy Week submissions close :)

Looking at Historical marriage customs such as Bride abductions, historical depictions of gay people, Rick’s Depiction of mythological goddesses, and Jason chapter XXV of HOO, through shipping googles.
————
Meanwhile, while Piper and Leo are saving the day, Jason's head feels like an “ over inflated water balloon.”
He wonders if he's dead, and why it hurts so much.
Hera drops by to tell him he isn't dead.
Hera decides now is time for a chitchat, confident in Piper and Leo's battle victory. Jason leaves his flesh-suit behind to go see her in prison.
He asks her why she can't get out. She gives him a demonstration. But like a Pikachu trapped in an electric proof net, Hera's devastating show against a god proof cage, does nothing but tire her out. And she has long since forgotten Bite in her moveset.
Jason asks how she got trapped.
While it is true she can be in many places at once, this is akin to having a foot caught in a beartrap.
Jason asks what she was doing here.
Hera starts by saying she could not stay idle. Zupiter believes that the gods have become too involved in mortal affairs, and that's why the enemy stirs. So he decided to solve the problem by going into his bedroom, locking the door, and hoping people will eventually stop knocking.
She disagrees. This is weirdly paranoid for him.
And now the dual godship starts to show its wack on effects.
Rick. Please tell me why the goddess who is the protector of the rights of married women, famous for her jealousy and actions taken upon women Zeus carried on his affairs with, might be content to follow her lord's wishes as Hera?
Why is it the aspect of her that is Juno is the one who does action! Not that Juno wasn't a more warlike goddess, but Hera is capable of plotting against Zeus’s wishes.
Hey, remember when I said earlier that it was "freaky that people's perceptions of you change who you are as a person. Stories are both intensely personal and subjective.”
Did Rick do any research on Roman marriage? Admittedly, there is plenty about ancient weddings that are debatably true and subject to scholarly debate, but this bit I am about to hone in on, is depicted in many paintings.
“I could not sit by while the descendants of my people were attacked.”
Juno, for all Rick is going on about your more warlike aspects, you are also the goddess in charge of marriage and childbirth in a time where the 'abduction/rape/kidnapping’ of the Sabine women’ was an event. Not just an event. An incident in the legendary history of Rome! A founding event. Are you really sure you are protecting the women in marriage when bride abduction is apparently involved in wedding customs!
Can you really call yourself proactive?
Do you truly have any high ground when women were not treated particularly better in Rome or Greek societies (unless you were a Spartan woman, I guess)
Here, readers have some sites to start your research. I'm reminded not everyone does art history.
But I'll give a quick abridged version.
The city of Rome, founded by Romulus had a problem. It's soldiers were good, but it might not last long due to a critical lack of women. Hard to make a dynasty with just men, cloning wasn't that advanced yet. So they negotiated with neighboring nations, who said “hard nope”. So they resorted to trickery, and invited a bunch of neighbors to a festival, during which Romulus gave the signal through fancy cloakwork that meant abduct the women and make them brides.
Obviously, that led to war. When it came to the Sabine, supposedly the Sabine women intervened and argued for peace.
Of course it was written by the winners, so how accurate it is, I'm not sure.
According to tradition, the city of Rome was founded in the 8th century B.C. by Romulus.
The first is marriage in Rome
Check the second one for some art, as well as the legend it's self. Check the third for more to the legend about the wars.
Keep in mind no one can truly say for sure what goes down in ancient marriage, and time traveling historians would probably spark more debate instead of ending it.
For instance, Antinous and Hadrian are one of the most famous homosexual couples in Roman history. And historians debate if homosexuality is freely and openly practiced or legally and socially condemned.
So let's take a brief moment to talk what is currently ‘public knowledge ‘ about gay sex in Ancient Rome.
Wikipedia says Romans cared about who was topping. You can top your wife, or someone of lower social status than you. Acceptable male people to top included slaves, ex slaves, prostitutes, and entertainers who are infamia (which included gladiators), and male minors up to a certain age (also applies to females). Sexual conquest was a common metaphor for imperialism in Roman discourse. Allowing a penis to be inserted into a freeman threatened his liberty as well as his sexual integrity.
“Gender did not determine whether a sexual partner was acceptable, as long as a man's enjoyment did not encroach on another man's integrity. It was immoral to have sex with another freeborn man's wife, his marriageable daughter, his underage son, or with the man himself; sexual use of another man's slave was subject to the owner's permission. “
And rape in Ancient Rome is punishable by execution…. Assuming it recognizes you as a free citizen.
It also has some interesting things to say about concubinus
“The relationship with a concubinus might be discreet or more open: male concubines sometimes attended dinner parties with the man whose companion they were. Martial even suggests that a prized concubinus might pass from father to son as an especially coveted inheritance. A military officer on campaign might be accompanied by a concubinus.”
Stuff that you are less likely to see in the fanfictions.
Anyway, given Jura is the goddess of marriage, and wanted to do something, and if I remember correctly- her plan was interrupted. Juno was a goddess during a time when bride abduction was part of the marriage apparently, soooo.
Was Jercy the original plan? Marriage between men did happen in ancient Rome, although not recognized by Roman law, and mostly known for being mocked. I'm not sure what Juno thinks about it, does she care for human laws, as long as the rites are recognized? Once a marriage was done between you, your intended, and God. The formalization of marriage within the church under a priest and in public was developed over time. It used to be a common law family affair.
Consider Sparta marriage, which is largely about elopement. The girl cross dresses, shaves her hair, and gets smuggled into military barracks by her bridegroom.
They also would probably know each other quite well, and had an older marrying age, and possibly had polygyny.
That's probably not where Rick was going with this, considering the amatonormativity, going down in these books, but we never did learn the original plan.
And diplomatic marriage was very much a thing.
Greeks were more about arranged marriages, with the sort of exception of Sparta, it seems. Which also works
Is arranged marriage a Jercy trope?
I've talked all about marriage, but not about it as a diplomatic tool. It's one of the oldest known in the book. A marriage of state is a union between two members of different nation-states (Camp half-blood and New Rome). Marriage can be important for binding together royal families and their countries during peace and war. China would call it peace marriage, or Heqin. TV tropes calls it Alter Diplomacy.
My favorite quote about it comes from Girl Genius.
“Fairy Godmother: Ah, but this is no ordinary science fair! The winner will marry the prince!
Cinderella: Which prince?
Fairy Godmother: Shut up! Who cares?
Cinderella: Are they insane? Marriage amongst royalty involves any number of political and trade factors that directly impact their countries' place within the geopolitical framework! This is so irresponsible!”
Jason and Percy are not royalty, but they are; Percy, latest and greatest hero (was offered godhood), and Jason her personal favisie and Praetor, as the bringers of peace between their civilizations!
(Also it spites Annabeth. Lol)
There's a reason there were different goddesses to worship for love and marriage, as one did not necessarily mean the other, and still doesn't in all parts of the world today.
I'm not sure who needs to top for the sake of diplomacy here? Maybe they should stick with non penetrative. Or even just marriage and not sex? Or maybe love would come later. Two goddesses in one, from different cultures, who represent different and similar aspects, are not necessarily in alignment.
And Juno being seen as a goddess of love, where Hera does not, leaves a hole in the plan for someone else to interfere. Aphrodite.
Who has her own plots for the shipping.
While gay marriage was not legal in New York until 2011 , (this book was published in 2010) does Hera truely care about what Human laws say, or does she care that the rites were observed?
But enough speculation. Back to the point Heno heard a voice telling her to come, and she did. And it was a trap.
When you become god, in your arrogance you forget that anyone can be caught in a pokeball. That the ones below you in the tall grass can still down you in a death of thousands of cuts.
You may be a god, but there is always a bigger fish, and you can not defeat it alone.
Zeus chose to forget that demigods are a Gods way of taking action on earth, and that to cut yourself off from them is to toss away tools.
Hera forgot the past. But the fates are weavers and storytellers. They like to reuse patterns.
A minor thing, but I am frequently upset by the misrepresentation of wolves in this book, particularly through the perception of Jason, who was raised by them.
Wolves are such social animals.
Interested in how wolves communicate? Read on to learn about some of the ways wolves communicate with each other.
Jason should know that! He was raised by wolves!
Or Lupa's pack is wacked hard with Roman ideas of wolf character?
Anyway, Gaia wakes probably, and Juno is unlikely to communicate again. She calls Jason a peace offering, which intentionally or not, does work with the Jercy interpretation.
Divided they will fall, United they must stand, she intends Jason to be the bride bridge to overcome a millennia of hatred.
Also his amnesia is saving his life. Anyways, return to the starting point. His sister will help. His most dangerous mortal enemy is in Chicago, if he is to die it will be by her hand.
-Is that still true in the later books? Will he die by her hand. I know Jason dies in the next series, but I don't know the details beyond it was prophesied. I think I heard something about a Demifiend Roman Emperor? Oh well, that's a later concern.
Anyway time for Jason to wake up. In the sky. On the dragon again. Much to his confusion. Piper brags to Jason on Leo's behalf about his victory over the Cyclops. As far as Piper is concerned, the arson is pretty badass!
Jason thinks that beating three Cyclops with a toolkit is pretty badass too. He's impressed with Leo. He's not particularly concerned that he almost died, but is concerned that he was unconscious and left it to them being a pretty bad quest leader there.
Piper then tells him about the purple shirted Mercury kid the Cyclops’s reminiscenced about eating.
Jason takes Psychic damage from that, and feels he should know their name.
He realizes he's not alone. Piper claims he never was.
Jason claims Hera was breaking the rules. He knows it on a psychic level. He was never supposed to come to camp half-blood.
Jason is a gamble. Piper still has hope. Leo is doing some communication right and telling them about the visit from dirt-lady in the porta-potties.
After two solid pages of dialogue and holding Jason around the waist (that he was conscious for), Piper lets go of Jason's waist, to put her knowledge of… foreshadowing- yes let's go with that- to use.
She seems nervous, but Jason decides not to press her on that.
Both Piper and Jason know the old stories. But the myths are super conflicted. Almost like no one wanted to know about them.
Blame the Templars or something.
Heroes and gods must work together. Leo quips that it's hard when the gods are putting their calls on silent.
“Jason became lost in his thoughts-all of them bad”
His worst mortal enemy should be in Chicago. If he dies it will be by her hand.
Wait,I thought Jason was killed by a guy? Welp, I guess gender exploration is a thing. The killer could be a girl right now, idk?
Anyways, Jason is going to live through this series. I remember he didn't die in the first book. The more prominent question right now, is how to find the storm spirits.
The answer being-of course- to follow the storm spirits!
It was completely unfair that his rival fraternity had to have the hottest man alive as president. It was unfair that he always found himself looking for the blonde, even if his gaze was usually returned. He was lucky his brothers thought it was because he hated Jason. They thought him going extra hard to win against him was because he couldn’t stand him winning. Percy let them believe they were right.
or
Percy is the president of Alpha Psi Tau. Jason is the president of Zeta Delta Phi. They're just as much rivals as their frats have always been. Or so everyone thinks.

Summary:
“She suggested I tell you how I feel," Jason sighed. "Apparently it’s obvious to the others.”
“I sure hope it's obvious to the others,” Percy replied.
Jason groaned, his head falling backwards. “Percy, you’re missing the point." Percy saw blue again as Jason's head dropped back down. "She thinks we’re not together. They all do.”

Jercy Week 2026 Day 3: Secret Relationship for @jercy-events
“Are you losing your mind again, Jace? You literally gave me your packed bag yesterday. There’s no way you forgot. Unless somehow your not-a-date got a little too crazy.”
“I…” Percy tried to say. “I’m not…” He looked down at his body for the first time. Something was wrong. He rubbed at his eyes with his palms and then tried again. But no. His skin remained dark with scars in the wrong places. The branding on his arm wasn’t a trident with a single line. It was an eagle with more lines than he could count in a glance. But he knew there were 12. Jason had 12 official years in the Legion. Percy took a deep breath. “Holy fucking shit."

Series: Part 1 of Jercy Week 2026 !!
Summary:
“Jason is Juno’s Chosen. Hera’s favorite. He’s been…blessed.”
“Well—yeah, we all know that. He’s got the charisma, and you don’t need to remind me that he’s great with kids, trust me, I know. And everyone in New Rome was always asking him to bless their marriage and their babies or whatever. He’s like the Pope.”
Nico’s face went through several rather impressively distinct grimaces at the comparison. “Ladies Hera and Juno are in charge of marriage, yes. And family. And childbirth.”
OR:
Jason’s in labor! Surprise!
For Day One of Jercy Week 2026 !!
