Reading is Fundamental
This was officially the most uncomfortable day of Percy's life. ----- "Percy, I don't know what happened to you when you were young, but denying that it ever happened isn't the answer." It'd worked pretty well for him so far. "Who said anything about denying it?" he asked. The look Apollo gave him felt almost parental. He pointed in the direction of the throne room. "How many of them know about any of this?" he asked. The demigod shifted uncomfortably. "None." "Exactly." "Really?" Will asked. "Not even Annabeth?" Percy shrugged. "Look, those bruises don't come from nowhere," Apollo said. "Whatever happened to you had to have been serious." "It was. It was messed up," Will interrupted, laughing darkly. Percy shot him a glare. They were supposed to be playing this down, not making it worse. ------ "What," Percy scoffed, "and I'm just supposed to trust you?" ++You don't have a choice. A magic talking book with all your secrets written out like a YA novel appears and starts ordering you around, and you're not going to listen to it?++ To that, he didn't have an answer. ++Kid, I am your god++ Percy deadpanned. "You're a book," he corrected. Annabeth gave him a look. "Don't patronize them," she whispered. ------ I took the reading the books trope and gave it a little fine wine with its dinner. Time to grow up, kid. Streching of canon. Warning: Crass language used, discussion of child abuse physical & sexual, mentions of drug use, mentions of underage drug use.

From Tartarus to Gotham
Percy Jackson was once a hero-a legend who defied the gods and saved the world. But heroism came at a cost. After the war with Gaia, he was stolen away, dragged into the abyss of Tartarus, where he suffered unimaginable torment for 200 years. When he finally escaped, the world had moved on without him. His friends-the Seven-were dead, their names lost to time. Olympus was silent. He had nothing left. Now, he wanders the streets of Gotham, a city as broken as he is. Haunted by memories of war, suffering from PTSD, survivor's guilt, and nightmares, Percy is only a shadow of the warrior he once was. When Batman finds him, a background check reveals a shocking truth-Percy Jackson was reported missing over 200 years ago. Beyond that, he doesn't exist. Taken in by the Justice League, Percy undergoes a medical examination that leaves even the most hardened heroes stunned. His body is covered in scars-evidence of centuries of suffering-and his mind is fractured, drowning in grief and trauma. The entire League, from Superman to Green Lantern, stands in silent disbelief. The Young Justice team struggles to understand the shattered figure before them, the man who was once a hero of myths and legends. Only Wonder Woman and Aquaman recognize his name, remembering the demigod who once carried the weight of the world on his shoulders. But Percy is no longer a hero. He is a ghost, a relic of a forgotten past. He has no purpose, no reason to fight. And yet, something in Gotham calls to him. The storm still rages within, the power of the sea still thrums beneath his skin. Perhaps, in this city of shadows, he can find a reason to keep going. Perhaps, if he stays long enough, he will remember what it means to be alive.Complete
When I Don't Remember You (Percico)
After the meeting on Olympus that would officially declare the Second Titan War over, everyone went back to Camp Half Blood to wrap their summer up before they go back home. But when Annabeth confesses her not-so-subtle feelings for Percy, she isn't the only one that was surprised to hear that the son of Poseidon didn't return the feelings. And while he just told her that he loved her- just not in that way, that wasn't the only reason he said no. He can't admit it to himself yet, though. Where his feelings are directed towards- who they're directed towards. Because although Gabe is dead, the memories of him are still fresh. And Gabe didn't raise a fruitcake. (TW: a lot of hurt with actual comfort, abuse trauma, just general trauma / depression, anxiety, PTSD, non-descriptive SH, I promise there's comfort in hurt comfort, oh also LGBT (mostly gay) slurs) (Cover is by velinxi on Instagram and Twitter) COMPLETED 06/13/2022Complete

I wrote this fanfic a few years ago, and it was pretty successful, so I decided to translate it into English. It was supposed to be a pilot to see if i have any readers, but i found myself enjoying the progress so much that i decided to keep translating the rest of the chapters. Please note that English is not my native language, and I haven't read the original books in English, so I relied on online resources and general knowledge, and I hope it suits your expectations. I hope you enjoy it, and I look forward to your comments! Rachel Stark. *All rights reserved to Rick Riordan, the author of Percy Jackson.
