The curing power of love (perpollo)

As Apollo was visiting his kids before Will was going to head off to med school, he felt his lungs tighten and a strong urge to hack one of them up....
-
"Don't try to convince me to remove my love for him! He's the first one since Hyacinthus, that I've felt this strongly for, but somehow, it's stronger."

Or

Apollo falls in love despite knowing his luck in the particular area, with a demigod that he KNOWS is unavailable, and so he develops hanahaki disease. The effects are less than desirable, as the worst it gets, the more mortal and weak he becomes.

Will Percy ever find out? Or will he be too late to save the reformed god? And why is Apollo so skittish now? And who's the red head he keeps talking about? And why is it that all gods including him become mortal? Who's Apollo's real father if Zeus isn't?

Set after The Trials of Apollo. All characters belong to Rick Riordan. Book 1.

TRIGGER WARNING!! This book has mentions of rape and abuse, if you are sensitive to such topics, I will try to have warnings at the top of the chapter if there is a scene about it during it and try to give another warning when it's about to start and end so you may skip but still be able to read the chapter! That being said, there may also be mentions of self-harm, while the same rules apply here for the trigger warning, it is still ok to skip the chapters altogether if you wish! I don't encourage these actions and if any of these have happened to you, I suggest going to someone you trust about it, or to get help from a trusted adult!
