~ Percy was awake. Again. Because he couldn't sleep. Again. His poetic ability was through the roof, and, oh gods, his life was the embodiment of a slap to the face. ~ Percy Jackson isn't doing as well as others assume. The Titan War was over, and they had won. They were heroes, they were alive, they were treasured. But at what cost? ------------------- This is set after the Titan War, but before the Heroes of Olympus, meaning Jason, Leo, Piper, Hazel and Frank aren't a thing. Neither is solangelo, and Percy and Nico won't necessarily be on good terms. TW: angst, suicidal thoughts, depression, SH, violence, mental health issues, mentions of abuse, mentions of alcoholism. Updates come once a week, hopefully. All characters belong to Rick Riordan.

Okay, so I'd just like to say that this is not well written whatsoever lol. All the grammar is correct, and there's some decent description, but it all feels very rushed if I'm honest. I tried to cram too many ideas in and yeah, it made.. whatever this is. Uh, I have some one-shots on my profile which might be better to read?... If you don't mind a fic being rushed this is probably great for you, lol, but the plot line is very higgledy piggeldy. Um, enjoy? Percy X Apollo Percy Jackson is tired. Of everything. He and Annabeth broke up after the fall into Tartarus, neither being able to look at the other the same way. Sure, they stayed friends, but that doesn't make Percy feel any better about it. Some of the gods are concerned, but Zeus is forbidding them from checking in on him, intent on leaving demigods alone despite all they've done for the Olympians. Apollo, however, is ignoring this order. He cares a little too much about Percy to watch him suffer in silence. But when a new threat arises, how will the Olympians handle it? How will the demigods handle it? This is very all over the place, but I think it turned out well in the end. (This is future me in brackets, btw, it did not turn out well lmao). In this story, Nico is overprotective of Percy (still solangelo though) as a best friend. He's forgiven Percy for the whole ordeal about Bianca and now they're pretty close, both confiding in each other about things they never thought they'd tell a soul. The ships are: Pipabeth - Piper + Annabeth Chrisse - Clarisse + Chris Solangelo - Nico + Will Valgrace (platonic) - Jason + Leo because I despise Caleo sorry lmao Perpollo - Percy + Apollo I do not own any of these characters, all rights are to Rick Riordan other than the storyline/plot.
