Post-Tartarus Trauma, Powerful Percy Jackson, Percy Jackson Needs a Hug
Percy hasn’t told anyone how strong he’s become. That would only take a single push to break the fragile membrane containing his mortality.
It's moments like these that remind Percy how close to godhood he is. It’s in the way Percy constantly feels like he’s larger than his physical body. He can feel the ancient underworld rivers running through Hades’s kingdom, and remembers how when he reaches for them they fight his control but ultimately bend under his will.
If he stretches his senses, he can even glimpse his father’s domain all the way on the surface world, the ocean constantly churning. The sea is always in the back of his mind singing its siren song, beckoning him to accept his fate and reminding Percy of the non-insignificant power he holds over the very fabric of the world.

Misunderstandings, Protective Poseidon, Hurt Percy Jackson
“It’s okay! Really, I mean I get it! I’m not offended or anything” Percy said quickly, almost stumbling over his words.
He wasn’t lying, sure would it have been nice to have a father that cared but he wasn't delusional. Poseidon had been kind and gentle. He had left him a lot of good memories that Percy could cling to! He had even hugged Percy!
At the end of the day he was a god, one of the Big Three. It would be the height of arrogance to presume that the god of the seas would ever care about a pitiful mortal. Besides Percy still had his mom it wasn’t like he really needed anyone else (No matter how nice it would have been).
Or: Poseidon makes the startling realization that his favorite son believes his father does not love him.

New god Percy Jackson just wants to settle down with his goddess wife Annabeth and create lots of little godlings. When they fail to make a child in six months of trying, Percy impulsively summons a fertility goddess to receive her 'blessing' without realizing how exactly the blessing is transferred. Here's a hint: it's through sex.
Incidentally, Hermes is the god of thieves, gamblers, roads, doorways, initiations, athletes, wayfarers, shepherds, and heraldry, among other things.
With such a big list, it's easy to forget he's also the god of fertility. And that he can easily change his form.

Camp Jupiter Politics, Outsider POV, Powerful Percy Jackson
“I just don’t understand why the Greeks treat him as such a big deal,” Marcel said “Or even the gods. Lady Juno and Lord Mars clearly backed him, and I don’t understand why. He certainly doesn’t look like much.”
“Why don’t you just ask around?” she asked him. “Heroes have stories and people are always eager to tell them. I’m sure any of the Greeks could tell you more about him.”
“It’s not a bad idea,” Jordan added. “It would be nice knowing exactly why he was part of the prophesied Seven. I know the Venus girl had sorcery and the Vulcan boy obviously had power over fire. But why Jackson? Just because they took a boat?”
Despite raising him on a shield, Romans don't know much about Percy Jackson, or even the Greeks in general. As the Legion attempts to recover from the wars, they find out there is far more to the Son of Neptune then they originally thought, and learn quite a few things about themselves along the way.

It didn't help that she was involved, but he supposed at least he had his friends with him.
Requested by @roosinii. A list of fics that have different sorts of time travel involved! All these fics are tagged time travel, in addition to the other tags listed. This list has fics under 40k. Below are the fics over 40k.
Fix-it, Luke Castellan Redemption, Childhood Trauma
Percy Jackson arrives at Camp Half-Blood bruised and bleeding, with the knowledge that he's the son of a god and his mother is dead. His little display with the Minotaur has caught the attention of the camp. But he’s not sure it is good attention, yet.
Only the Hermes Cabin's not-quite Co-counselor Theseus, ‘call me Theo,’ doesn't treat him like a fascinating zoo exhibit. Which would be a relief, except he looks exactly like Percy: same green eyes, same trouble making smile, same black hair. The only differences are the fact that Theo is six years older, covered in battle scars, and the black tattoo on his arm. A trident and the letters SPQR.
Theo is eighteen, powerful, and unclaimed. And his resemblance to Percy could set a dangerous precedent.

Parental Bonding, Sibling Bonding, Time Travel
Percy is suddenly 12 again, and with all of the lessons learned in the years he's suddenly lost he decides to make a better world, earlier and hopefully with fewer challenges and immortal demands.
Featuring parental bonding, actual childhoods instead of training for your life, and monsters that really aren't that bad, just misunderstood. Also a cross country road trip!
In a world where the unthinkable happened the Seven are desperate. Everyone and everything they love and know is gone, wiped away by Gaia and Her minions. They have watched their parents and friends fall and were unable to stop the end. So it is with desperation and half a plan that they decide to change things. To go back, all the way to the beginning, and try again. What will change with their knowledge and skills? Who will they save, who will they lose? What, if anything, can they do? There's only one way to find out.

Three days after the Prophecy of Seven was spoken aloud, a great quake shook the mythical world, and without explanation, the prophecy reworded itself.
Also known as: Time-traveling Nico is trying to do his best to save the world, but he seems to have unfortunately landed in a time before the two camps were united, where the gods are on lock-down, there’s an old enemy out for his head, and there’s an angsting 12-year-old wandering around wearing his face.

When he opens his eyes, Bianca is there holding his arm, and a man that reveals himself to be a monster is behind them. Nico´s eyes are opened wide, because somehow Bianca is there.
Is this a dream? Is this some wicked plan by Gaea? The last thing he remembers is Tartarus and Kronos, how is he here?
"Nico, are you okay?" Bianca asks, furrowing her brows. They can hear the door of the hallway being opened, as a voice Nico hadn't heard in years calls for them. Nico's fists clench. Dream or not, he won't let them take everything away this time. He will fix this, he will fix everything.
Or in which the War with Gaea ends baddly, the Seven die, and Nico is sent back in time (maybe a little bit too early) after making a deal with a Titan. Well shit.

I Scream Too Loud When I Speak My Mind. by youngjusticewriter
Chiron leaned forward from his wheelchair and though Percy didn’t look to check he knew he had caught Mrs.Dodds’ attention as well. "And what reason is that?”
"They were afraid of being overthrown. Of their power being taken from them so that's why Kronos ate his children. And years later Zeus ate Athena's mother." It was why the Olympians had voted on whether Percy should live or not because he had the potential to lead to - if not cause - the destruction of Olympus when he turned sixteen.
Behind him, Nancy mumbled to a friend, "Like we're going to use this in real life. Like it's going to say on our job applications, 'Please explain why Kronos ate his kids.'"
"And why, Mr. Jackson," Chiron said, "to paraphrase Miss Bobofit's excellent question, does this matter in real life?"
Percy thought of how Thalia had only been twelve when she had given her life so Luke and Annabeth could make it to safety. Percy looked at Chiron as he remembered how he had lied to his mentor about Nico because it wasn’t just the Titan Army who would harm the boy. "I wouldn’t know.”
"I see." Chiron looked as though he didn't believe him.

Olympus has fallen.
The second Gigantomachy has ended far differently than the first, and in Gaea's triumph, the world has been torn apart. But the Fates have seen what ends their failed meddling have brought, look on at the dead—and undo what should never have happened the only way they possibly can.
Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon, is returned to his twelve-year-old self, memories intact and determined to save everyone he can. But he is not alone.
The Moirai underestimated the strength of the Lord of Time when stealing his power, and there is something about this particular demigod brat that intrigues him. . .
Perseus Jackson came roaring to life with a violent gasp, green eyes wild. After a moment of panicked flailing and struggling to breathe, his fear-filled gaze settled upon a girl with blonde hair and stormy grey eyes, her face stern and unimpressed.
"You drool in your sleep."

Poseidon straightened. The quake inside his chest threatened to release the force he held back. Long Island’s shores were bombarded with waves. “Enough,” he growled. He unclenched his fists. His trident crackled in its sheath attached to his throne.

The river Styx reflected his face against its murky water. It smelled of beer, seven-layer dips, and sweat. It smelled of garbage. For a moment, Percy was Gabe’s apartment again, locked inside his temporary room for the summer while Gabe’s voice demanded for his mom’s salary, as if his mom were the one who spent every night gambling. His reflection showed a boy, knuckles white over the edge of the boat, glaring at him with the same dirty hair and glowing green eyes. He was angry.
Percy didn’t realize that he was leaning over the edge until Annabeth pulled him back, raising an eyebrow. She gestured at Grover, shaken up, murmuring prayers under his breath as they made their way down the river.
Right. Underworld. Meeting Hades. For the bolt. For the quest. For his mom.

"Percy mumbled a bit in his sleep and turned toward the back of the couch, jarring the bag of stale marshmallows he and Sally had been snacking on. A few fell out, and Sally gently reached over to stuff them back in the bag.
Then she stopped. She stopped and studied one of the marshmallows, the sugary residue leaving her hand sticky as she gripped it too tightly. Without another thought, Sally tossed the marshmallow into the waiting flames before her.
Thank you, she thought. Thank you, she prayed. Her clean hand ran slowly through Percy’s hair, brushing the golden curls she’d always loved so much. Thank you for my son."

Sally Jackson isn't a religious person. She finds herself praying anyway.

Good Parent Poseidon, Poseidon Loves Percy, Sally Jackson has the best of intentions but not all intentions are good.
“What’s the news, My Love?” Amphitrite smiles at the way her husband falls into an enamored spell for a moment, simply looking down at his son resting so contentedly in his arms, she’s seen that look in his eyes many times before. But centuries had passed since she’d seen it last.
Poseidon had fathered a number of DemiGod children, not to say he didn’t love them deeply, he was well known for how much he adored his children no matter their mortality or appearance, whether they be humanoid, half-mortal, monstrous, one could not accuse Poseidon of fathering a child he had no affection for. But there was something about this one specifically.
“Po, what news do you bring?” She thinks, perhaps, it’s due to it being so long since they’ve had a baby in their midst. Percy Jackson was a boy of five years old but when compared to their age rate was nothing more than an infant. There are many reasons as to why this child has him so enamored with him and those reasons Poseidon kept close to his chest. Not even she, as his Wife and Queen, was privy to those secrets he withheld.

She is only 29 listening as the school explains that Percy was deemed at fault for the shark tank incident and was expelled.
She is only 33 and running for her life, for her son’s life, as the world crashes down on them.

"So what's the plan?"
"Just watch Clarisse's spear," Annabeth said. "You don't want that thing touching you. Otherwise, don't worry. We'll take the banner from Ares. Has Luke given you your job?"
"Border patrol, whatever that means."
"It's easy. Stand by the creek, keep the reds away. Leave the rest to me. Athena always has a plan."
She pushed ahead, leaving him in the dust.
Easy, Percy thought. He could do easy. He barely knew how to hold a sword and use a shield but it couldn’t be too hard, could it? Annabeth wouldn’t assign him something beyond his capabilities. Chiron’s rules would prevent him from really getting hurt. It would be fine.
(It was not fine.)

Percy Jackson & Poseidon, past Sally Jackson & Poseidon
Fluff and Angst, Parent-Child Relationship, Soft Poseidon
Instead of allowing his son to leave his side upon surrendering to his Brother, Poseidon keeps him close, if only for a fortnight or two, because his Brother is a Vain God and he has no doubts pertaining to the matter that he will not attempt to strike his youngest son dead in his Euphoric False Victory. Percy doesn’t seem to mind the sudden protectiveness. He doesn’t know his Fath–Dad. At least he’ll get to learn about him now. And get answers.

“I don’t know. Truthfully, Triton won’t tell me what he flashed into but he isn’t one to act upon another violently without prominent reason.” Those eyes darken once more. “He was told not to call for me. My son, my baby boy, was told not to call for me if he needed anything.”
He turns back to the bathroom that houses their sons. “That is the reason he called for his brother and not me. He’s not going back. He is mine just as much as he is hers and I am keeping him. If she thinks she can fix that monster wasting away in human flesh she may do so but she will not keep my son with her if that is her decision.”

Annabeth knows everything by everdeen6
1435 words
It probably had to do with Peter Parker's frequent disappearances. So either he was a monster, a demigod who was in hiding or something else.
Either way he was a potential threat.
So Annabeth did something every rational not paranoid teen would do.
She became his lab partner and bugged his school bag.
Or the fic where Peter thinks Annabeth is just a friendly neighborhood ninja mentor to him until Annabeth decides to single-handedly fix everything post NWH.
Demigods at Midtown oneshot #1. Annabeth's characterization-- and Peter's confusion-- is everything! Fix-it fic.

I lifted my gun, pointing it towards the minefield of shattered fragments, and kicked the small coffee table out of the way.
Only to stare down at an awfully familiar face, which split into a somewhat lopsided grin. The intruder raised his hands in a mocking surrender. “Long time no see, dude.”
I lowered the gun. “What the hell are you doing in South Peru?”
Or in which Clint Barton and Percy Jackson have a long personal history that starts in high school.
This is my #1 absolute favorite Percy Jackson/Marvel fic. It's excellently written, it's long, and it's funny. I adore Natasha's characterization.
The Blue Food Project by liketolaugh
59537 words (as of 11/8/22)
Foggy meets Sally in a grocery store, sees the three bottles of food coloring in her cart, and listens to her talk about how much her son loves it for about ten minutes before he decides he's in love. About four months later, Natasha drops by the Jacksons' apartment to take her first close look at the child that heralds the realization of the Great Prophecy.
She thinks he looks small.
This fic has characters from the Avengers and Daredevil! Percy is 14, which is a refreshing take on a familiar trope. Well-written, excellent characterization.

to bet on losing dogs by furnaceglow
The thing is,” Apollo said, the coolest prisoner of war in all of time. Prometheus wasn't prone to jealousy, but even he felt a drop of envy at how relaxed Apollo was in maximum security. "How to define a man…are we talking ontology here? That’s broad scope, bigger picture. We can include ourselves in that definition. Philosophy otherwise! Our good man Diogenes. You remember Diogenes! Or are we specifically talking about man for the sake of man? Is this about anthropology, is what I’m saying.”
“I’m open to all interpretation,” Prometheus said. “Been a while since I’ve had good conversationalists here. Krios is all grunting, and Hyperion is solely interested in making his quarters nicer.”
“Well, he has an eye for interior design, I’ll give him that,” Apollo said.
In which Percy Jackson ascends to a reluctant godhood, his mother loses the war but wins a battle, and for once, Prometheus picks the winning horse.

the carriage held but just ourselves by Writeous
The official story is this: Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase, just two months shy of their seventh wedding anniversary, hurtle off a cliff on a lonely mountain road. A tragic accident, a sharp turn taken too quickly. Their 2023 Prius was found buried under debris, three hundred feet below where witnesses claim they fell. Paramedics declared them dead upon arrival, suffering blunt force trauma as their car collapsed with them inside.
The real story is this: Percy and Annabeth watch as Hecate’s children create perfect duplicates of them that are promptly hurled off a cliff. Percy loved that Prius.
(Or: at the end of the Titan War, Zeus offered Percy immortality. Percy was mistaken in thinking it was an actual choice.)

Annabeth and the Nine Step Career Plan by feeling_the_aster_9145
Annabeth Chase does not accept limitations. Everyone knows that. If she wants something, no matter how impossible, she will find a way to make it happen. Though, perhaps she will allow Bruce Wayne and his ridiculous paranoia-induced company restrictions a small portion of the credit.
Actually… now that she thinks about it, the man may have had a point in his worries.
Wayne Technologies does not accept college interns. Annabeth always has a plan B.

is it really a crime if you don't exist? by MidnightBunny
"So, what you're saying is," Percy said, staring at the man in front of him. "you're me from the future."
The man took a drink out of the coffee cup in his hand. "Yup."
"And you're here," Percy said slowly. "Because Annabeth's brother's boyfriend is trying to prove the existence of the multiverse."
The man nodded.
"And you got sucked in when he turned it on."
Nod.
"And now you don't know how to get home."
Nod.
"And how did you get sucked in, again?"
The man mumbled something.
"What?"
"I was coming back from the bathroom and opened the wrong door."

Son of Sea Foam by CaffeinatedFlumadiddle
“She’ll never claim me,” he whispered. Silena shook her head, eyes wild as she looked around for anyone who could be watching.
“My mother doesn’t remember half of her children as it is,” she said with a note of bitterness. “If you do something to impress her, it won’t matter. Return the bolt in her name. She’ll claim you if you act the part. If you stay unclaimed then they'll figure out what you really are," she said, squeezing his hands tightly. Percy's heart sped up.
"I - I don't know the first thing about Aphrodite-"
"My mother was born of sea foam," Silena cut him off. "And if you're really who I think you are... you are the sea. You can pull this off," she said and touched his cheek. "Get the bolt. Survive," she said. Percy swallowed.
"What if I can't act the part?" He asked. Silena's expression went blank for a moment. Slowly, she slipped off her bracelet and placed it in his hands.
"If you're going to be one of us... you better learn."
Or
AU where Percy has to hide the fact he's a Big Three kid otherwise he'll be killed on the spot. Unfortunately for him, unclaimed kids tend to raise the most suspicion... but he might have found a loophole in the form of Aphrodite.

Brotherly Angst, Cain instinct, Percy Jackson needs a hug
Luke had framed him for his theft, Luke was ready to be a catalyst for a war. Luke was serving Kronos, the very root of Percy's torment, his nightmares.
The son of Hermes studies his gaze for a moment, before he turns back to the stone to slash what feels like the final indent into the ruin. The clearing is bathed in crimson, but the sounds of the fireworks are distant now as Percy's hands shake. The older half-blood, the one Percy had oh so idolized, raises his sword. Percy knows he is at a crossroads, two decisions offering themselves to him. He can do nothing, let Luke rip through the barrier and escape the camp with him. Or he can do what he's done for weeks now, the one thing that had gotten his father's attention. He can fight.
He looks at Luke and part of him cries brother while the other raises Riptide.
TLDR; Percy and Luke's encounter goes differently, and Percy finds himself as a harbinger of war. (Meanwhile, Annabeth just wants a her family back.)
hey I know this ask Is a little specific but are there any fics where Percy likes reveals his like struggling with guilt, and suicidal thoughts to people other than Annabeth? I love Percabeth I just really want to see other characters reacting to Percy's struggles! Thxxx!!!!

Percy opened his eyes. He stared at the bathtub.
“...Grover, do you think I’ll graduate college?”
Percy heard a sharp inhale. “Yeah, Percy. I do.”
A noise escaped his throat. His vision grew blurry.
“I agreed to go on a quest,” Percy said, finally admitting it to someone.

Your percabeth posts and just most of your pjo verse posts fall right into my taste so I assume (desperately hope) you've also read some mind blowing or just heart warming percabeth fics and the point of this whole rant is just me asking (begging) you for some percabeth fic recs, thank you sm and have a great day!
WELL i have this one linked on a recent post but it’s so cute i’ll put it here too. it’s a cute percabeth impulsive marriage fic,, i accept it as canon in my mind
FOREVER HOUSE i accept this as canon too, it’s so cute and i love the way the author writes (idk how to put this into words but) annabeth
i love this one,, it’s so soft and it has my golden trio in it and it takes place at a little motel during their road-trip to camp jupiter
THIS ONE HOLY SHIT i have this fic open on safari and i go back to reread it so much it’s so soft,, post tlo percabeth but pre hoo
i like to scroll through the whole series but these are kind of my favorite on there so far: hair dresser percy, nurse percy, barista percy, body guard percy, and drummer percy
i am a SLUT for time travel fics but this one is just *chefs kiss* it’s based off of the Adam Project on netflix that walker scobell is in (which i also recommend if you haven’t watched it already)
post tlo pre hoo percabeth again, they are so cute and in love. sigh
post botl pre tlo percabeth stranded at a gas station. this has my whole heart. the desperation and longing holy fuck
post botl pre tlo again,, only one bed and god. the angst. the longing. the late night kisses in a dark room when they’re not supposed to. GOD.
OH MY GOD i read this one a while ago and as i was scrolling through my ao3 history i found it again,, this one is absolutely adorable holy shit i’m gonna reread it. soulmates canon divergence <3 (also extra chapter for solangelo if that’s your thing)
this one has a bit of sexual content but it’s not smut or explicit, it’s more focused on annabeth’s trauma/upbringing and her being touch averse. i’m also an absolute whore for touch starved x physically affectionate so i love this fic
there is absolutely no plot here, just pure fluff, i love it
“it’s you, annabeth” i’m going to eat my mattress i love them, post tlo percabeth but a year after (no hoo, just fluff)
this one is kind of a shot in the dark bc i know a lot of people find these fics annoying or whatever but i loooove them,, like i said i’m a slut for time travel fics. this one isn’t really percabeth centric but instead focuses on like everyone and dives into their trauma and is all about healing from it. it’s not finished yet but holy shit it’s amazing so far. it’s a reading the books fic btw LMAO (i’ve been meaning to recommend this one for a while and nows the perfect time so here)
I'm slowly hunting down fics and formatting the recs for the requests in my inbox, but I got to admit; a few of them are so specific that it's gonna take a long time to even track down one fic.
In the meantime, I was wondering if you'd be interested in a "promote the pjo author" type rec? Experimental format like this:

[Author] [link to tumblr/ao3 etc.]
[A quick blurb on why you like the author, what types of fics, characters and/or ships they write etc.]
[Links to about 3 of their fics you recommend checking out.]
~~~
I would open this up to submissions from you guys, in addition to making my own recommendations. The point of this would be help bring more attention to underrated authors, niche authors and your favorites - although if you want to promote a big author I certainly won't deny that! You'd also be allowed to submit a self-promo too, just follow the same format. The only condition is that the author must have fics from at least one of Rick Riordan's books.
Would you be interested in this?
Yes - I have a few authors l'd like to recommend! This is perfect!
Yes - but leaving the author blurb is too much work. I'd rather leave a link.
Yes - but I wouldn't recommend anyone. I'd just view the posts.
Hello Roosinii!! Here you go. I found a decent amount and split it into two rec lists. I'll tag you when the second list is posted. Enjoy!!

Despite the tears in his eyes along with Smelly Gabe's blood on his knuckles his mom doesn't immediately demand answers because she's not only the best person in the world but the best mom in the world.
Instead, she runs a hand through his mess of hair and hums softly as though he's still a baby instead of a seventeen year old demi-god that's in his twelve year old "troubled kid" body. It feels too soon when his mom finally pulls somewhat away from him to stare at his face - at his eyes and she had to see something in them.
Or the first thing Percy does after getting over the shock of being woken up by Grover (who is so young even though he's not) is use his money he got from selling his illegal stash of candy to Yancy students is go find his mom.

"In Einstein's equation, time is a river. It speeds up, meanders, and slows down. The new wrinkle is that it can have whirlpools and fork into two rivers. So, if the river of time can be bent into a pretzel, create whirlpools and fork into two rivers, then time travel cannot be ruled out." - Michio Kaku
Percy time travels way further than they meant him to. Now he has to deal with trying to not change things, and figuring out what the hell he's going to do once time catches up.

"So, what you're saying is," Percy said, staring at the man in front of him. "you're me from the future."
The man took a drink out of the coffee cup in his hand. "Yup."
"And you're here," Percy said slowly. "Because Annabeth's brother's boyfriend is trying to prove the existence of the multiverse."
The man nodded.
"And you got sucked in when he turned it on."
Nod.
"And now you don't know how to get home."
Nod.
"And how did you get sucked in, again?"
The man mumbled something.
"What?"
"I was coming back from the bathroom and opened the wrong door."

When Luke and Kronos are killed by a mysterious man a few days after the Battle of the Labyrinth, Percy and Annabeth are confused. Who is this man powerful enough to defeat a Titan? And why does he look so much like Percy?
|“Our parents care about us, they just have an shit way of showing it. After all, they’re gods. They have important shit to do.” Thalia says dismissively, striding towards the man. “C’mon Percy, let’s kill this-”
“If your father cared about you,” the man interrupts quietly. “Why didn’t he tell you Jason was alive?”
Thalia freezes. Annabeth and I looked on in confusion. Who was Jason?

"You should have ascended years ago," Zeus said without preamble, looking down at Percy. The other Olympians, even his father, remained silent, watching the proceedings with uncharacteristic solemnity.
"I said no years ago," Percy snapped, rage making his voice tremble and hands shake. "I didn't want to be a God then, and I want to even less now. I've seen how horrible eternity is."
"You would defy the fates themselves?" Athena asked softly, leaning forwards with narrowed eyes. She looked more godly than Percy had ever seen her, to the point where it was nearly unbearable to look at her face. Percy did so nevertheless, glaring at the Goddess he'd lost almost all respect for.
"You had children die today," he snapped, desperate to return to Camp. "Annabeth could still die—hasn't she done enough?"
Or, Percy keeps living the same horrible day over and over and over again, regardless of what he does. Eventually, something will have to give. Percy just isn't sure what.

“What is it?” Grover asks, “What’s with that weird look on your face?”
“Just trying to figure out if turning me in will get us enough bounty money to buy our way to LA.” Percy says, craning his neck towards the news van.
“We are not turning you in to the police.” Grover presses his head back into the alleyway.
“Why not?” Percy says. They could use a bit of cash. “You guys can just break me out afterwards, right?”
Annabeth looks like she’s considering it.
“No, guys,” Grover says. “No.”

If Percy has to spend the rest of his life cleaning up after the gods, then he might as well start from the beginning.

Kronos has returned. Again.
Ever since waking up as his twelve-year-old self, Percy Jackson has thrown himself from one fire into another, taking advantage of the Fates-given second chance to try and set things right.
But now, he has to face the results of his efforts: the second Titanomachy back on the horizon, only a few friends who know the truth, and a camp struggling in the aftermath of Kronos's return (And Luke Castellan's sacrifice).
All the while, two sides of an impending war are racing to find the Golden Fleece, Hazel Levesque is trying to piece together her own life, and Sally Jackson runs into a fast-talking son of Hephaestus on the run one day. . .
"What is it?" Percy demanded.
Hazel Levesque grimaced. "Chiron issued the quest for the Golden Fleece this morning. Without you."

“Why are you looking at skateboards?” asks Luke.
“Maybe Kronos wants us to get a skateboard.”
Luke presses a hand on the top of Percy’s head and physically turns him away from the window display.
“Does Kronos want us to get a skateboard,” he says.
“…No.”
Luke wants to know what the hell Percy thinks he’s doing. Percy wants Luke to trip and fall over the side of the yacht. They are, as always, at an impasse.
