REVISED 2026!!! I'm still working on finishing the story, but I've reworked all the continuity errors that I could find. Please re-read and let me know if it's any better. PLEASE COMMENT! I need some feedback! I can't spot every continuity error, so please point them out if noticed. Comment on any typos you see please. It starts out rough while I was still working Percy's character out, but in my opinion but I think it gets better. First 18 chapters done and published. I wrote this story for myself originally, so I wasn't worried about making it perfect. I just wanted a story like this I could read every now and then since I can't find any like it. I've reworked it a LOT to get it somewhat readable, but there's probably still plot holes. One minute, Percy was in the Labyrinth with Annabeth, Rachel, Grover, and Thalia, and the next, he's fighting Kronos. Then, a bright flash, and he's in the middle of the ocean. He finds out he's in a different world, and there's superheroes in it. He crosses paths with Wonder Woman, and she takes him under her wing. He gets an identity, a backstory, and a job, and that is where this story starts.

"Getting a Clue" is a slice-of-life story about Casper, an autistic gay teen whose most meaningful relationship is with his dog, Pippi, and whose safe space is his closet-literally. Enter Jethro: confident, boldly expressive, and inexplicably interested in Casper's prickly brand of charm. As Casper battles his instinct to retreat from every social encounter, Jethro patiently flirts his way past Casper's defences. Together, they navigate the minefield of high school, gender expectations, and first love, all while Casper tries to figure out why the hell anyone would voluntarily seek out human connection. With a healthy dose of snark and a dash of awkward romance, this tale proves that sometimes the biggest dramas in life are just... life. Will Casper figure out how to be a functioning human being? Will Jethro ever stop looking unfairly hot in tights? And how hard do you have to flirt before an oblivious gay boy gets a fucking clue? (Warning: Contains catastrophic attempts at small talk, impromptu bus adventures, and a surprising amount of fairy bread.)
