A found family Heroes of Olympus mortal AU that follows 12 characters in navigating high school, trauma and struggles while trying to build friendships and relationships.

This fic was written to represent all kinds of people and show readers that they are not alone. No matter what you're going through, you can find support. Please reach out if needed.

This fic is also written with simple language. In the original (as this is a rewrite) I received multiple comments of people saying that this fic helped them learn English. If you are not a native speaker, but are trying to learn English, this is perfect for you.

Nico di Angelo hadn't always been lonely.
Hazel Levesque did not like change.
The view of New York City made Percy Jackson feel powerful- as if he was bigger than the world itself. As if he was bigger than all his problems.
Piper McLean would be her own person.
Jason Grace's life was a lie.
After his father's death, Will Solace didn't believe in much.
Annabeth Chase planned to be remembered.
Frank Zhang was raised as a solider, like his parents. He would probably die as a soldier, like his parents.
Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellano was ten years old when she killed her father.
Leo Valdez's broken bones and burnt skin didn't hurt half as much as the fact that his mother was gone.
