They're the kids of heroes. They're the legacies of demigods. They're born with unnatural powers. Even for demigod standards. No, they're not facing monsters or goddesses, or titans, or giants, or early beings, or the gods. Nope, they faced high school, the occasional monster, few gods and goddesses, titans, the past, and terrible secrets. In their own way, these legacies are fighting their own wars. All by themselves.
"These wars, these aren't for soldiers, commanders, generals. No, they aren't for machine guns, but pistols. Daggers instead of swords. Individuals instead of groups. These wars are in our heads, and we are to face them alone. Or not at all."
~Bella di Angelo
What would you do if you were in their shoes?
Percy Jackson has never had an easy life. Now finding a job is near impossible after his latest screw-up: landing in jail. Annabeth Chase planned her life out carefully. She did everything right, but now she's struggling to support her daughter on her own.
Piper McLean came to America for a chance. Unfortunately, her work permit means she cannot quit her badly paid and stressful job in the modeling industry. Jason Grace doesn't have a high school diploma. Growing up in a cult, he knows more about warfare than mathematics or grammar. Leo Valdez used to be a dreamer. Now, he has trouble seeing beyond Khione's next words or fists.
Frank Zhang can't believe his luck. His family mansion burned down and he recently got dishonorably discharged from the military. Hazel Levesque wishes for another life. As a struggling artist, she is stuck working odd jobs to make ends meet. Nico di Angelo has a secret. His greatest fear? That someone will discover it. Will Solace can barely hold it together. Working in the medical field was his dream, but now it has become his nightmare.
This is a Percy Jackson AU. I own none of the characters.
