Jercy au where after Jason dies, Percy literally marches down to the underworld to retrieve him. Like, Percy, who is so mentally drained from everything and kinda has a death wish, who has seen so many people he cares about die, who has ALREADY ventured to the underworld for a loved one before (Sally) just. goes down to the underworld. The whole way down Percy's is absolutely seething, but by the time he actually get's to Hades' palace or whatever, he's just done. Like, "Hey, it'd be great if I could have this one back. thanks." while he draws his sword and hopes he doesn't actually have to fight. Whether underworld fam takes pity on him or not is up to you lol
this is both so cute and so devastating at the same time 😭
im inclined to believe hades would take pity on him but pulls the classic “for a price” and percy’s just like “i dont fucking know dude. just take me or something who even cares anymore”
ooo but just to make everything awful, what if the price was that he takes jason’s memories again? like you can have him percy, but he wont know who the fuck you are or whats going on, but sure
obviously percy agrees because its better than nothing, but when he gets jason back he realizes how upsetting it is that he doesn’t know who he is, and percy gets to feel what annabeth felt for him in that moment.
on a lighter note, imagine him saying “jason its me. percy. i’m your boyfriend.” and jason being flabbergasted because:
1. he thinks percy is way too attractive to be dating him and
2. waking up and immediately finding out youre gay may be a bit of a shock
I see this and I raise you: the price is PERCY’s memories
He’s tired, he’s done being a pawn, he just wants Jason back and doesn’t care anymore. Besides, it wasn’t fair that he got to get his memories back in the first place and Jason didn’t.
Jason is back, and there’s Percy. His Percy. Beautiful and perfect and who sacrificed everything for him, but doesn’t remember anything, doesn’t remember him, or why he did the sacrificing in the first place.
But he has to get them out of the underworld, he’ll just have to figure out the rest later.
this is amazing. my life trajectory changed. i am crying on my floor hhhhhhhhhh and imagine like if at some point something causes percy to get his memories back (Say, a god needs him for a quest or something) and so far he only has like, happy, chill memories with his family, friends, jason etc. ....imagine the absolute pain this guy'd have to go through, re-experiencing ever single horrible memory of his- from gabe to sally being 'dead' to holding up the sky to tartarus - and he's just having a breakdown remembering jason died. but the fact that he was able to bring him back to this happier life makes it a little better anyway im just really salty percy was cool with the trauma that hit him when his memories come back in son of neptune (except that like one scene where he sees the cyclops iirc)....like i wanted that guy to reflect on how much he had to go through as a child........
amazing additions everyone. id like to offer you a contract to my jercy publishing house. thank you.
