    Summary

    Apollo was having a perfectly good morning- right up until he vomited down the side of the sun chariot. Which was incredibly strange, if you asked him, because gods simply do not get sick.
    As if that weren’t strange enough, an unintended meet-up with Percy Jackson in a Target parking lot revealed that the demigod was hearing prayers- something that Apollo was actually not responsible for, despite what Percy seemed to think.
    Apollo didn’t need his prophetic powers to know this was going to be a looong day. But hey- at least he got to spend it with Percy. (Which, naturally, improved things considerably).

    Summary

    Percy had agreed to spend the summer in Atlantis. His mother had been rather persuasive about it, and the growing tensions between him and Annabeth had convinced him that getting away from dry land and taking a step back would do him a world of good.

    He had simply forgotten that he had never spent more than two days in a row in Atlantis and that, as a result, he knew nothing about its customs and traditions.

    Not to mention that his father would probably see this as an opportunity to convince him to stay, this time for good.

    _______________________________________________________

    This story is an exercice, I'll post one chapter per day through the year !

    A few warnings before you read, I'm mainly basing this on the timeline of the books, not the series. Because of this, Percy is now legal, Annabeth is working on architectural plans for Olympus, and I intended to focus on the undersea family. There is absolutely no Annabeth bashing in this story !

    Summary

    “Find Medusa?” Percy spluttered, trying and failing not to sound indignant. “Nobody wants to find Medusa. You run into Medusa while trying to retrieve your uncle’s stolen lightning bolt and then mail her head to the gods after she keeps talking about how your eyes are like your father’s.”

    From behind him, Piper raised a single finger. “When you mail what to whom?”

    Percy glanced over his shoulder to give her a shrug. “Don’t worry about it. I was twelve,” he said before turning back to where Gabe was still fighting against the ropes binding his hands together. “Do you have any idea what to do with him?”

    Nico leaned over, craning his neck to better peer at the hot sauce that still stained Gabe’s face despite the years of statue-ification. “Um, we could see if your dad wants to turn him into a fish or something?”

    Percy grimaced. If Gabe Ugliano was a fish, then he’d be forced to hear the man’s voice in his head for years to come. But also, he could maybe mount him on a wall, so perhaps it wasn’t an entirely terrible idea.

    Or

    Medusa’s sculptures are mysteriously coming back to life. Percy doesn’t think murder is an unreasonable action given the circumstances.

    Summary

    The therapy, the attempts to manage his PTSD, it’s not really working, and this is the case in point. What on Earth was he thinking, fleeing to Alaska? As if the lack of gods here would make Percy safe to be in a ten-mile radius of anytime he has a panic attack. His issues might stem from the world of the gods, but being in their realm, not being in their realm, it doesn’t matter. The damage was done long ago. He’s the problem now. He’s the danger.

    Or

    Percy, struggling with his powers three years after Tartarus, decides to spend the summer in Alaska, far from meddling gods.
    Poseidon sends Triton after him.

    Summary

    Instead of causing a hurricane in the East Atlantic, Percy kneels beside his fireplace, and scrapes the carefully-selected cheeses, pomegranates, figs, and other assorted fruits into the flames. He bows his head as smoke begins to billow, clasps his hands together, and prays.

    Eros, he prays. I have an offer for you, if you're interested. But I think you will be.

    That's all it takes, before Percy feels an uncharacteristic brush of wind against the skin of his neck, and a pulse of heat, near his couch.

    "I must say," a low, sultry voice says from behind him. It's almost purring, and maybe it's an effect of the god's aura, his domains, but it sends a shiver across Percy's skin nonetheless. "I didn't expect such a delicious offering from Perseus Jackson."

    Or: Apollo dumps him in favor of a pretty celebrity, and Percy is both petty and very pissed-off. Instead of taking the high road, Percy does the one thing he knows would bother Apollo most: become Eros's new paramour.

    Except maybe he was a little too impulsive — because what was a way to get back at Apollo becomes a surprise sweeter than expected, and he isn’t as over Percy as he thought.
