A one-shot about Sally Jackson's helplessness concerning Percy's demigod life and the fact that one day she won't be able to save him.
"There is no word for feeling nostalgic about the future, but that's what a parent's tears often are, a nostalgia for something that has not yet occurred. They are the pain of hope, the helplessness of hope, and finally, the surrender to hope."
-Michael Ian Black
"When you feel like there's no hope, remember that a parent's love is the most powerful force in the world, and even in the darkest moments, there's always a glimmer of light to hold onto."<br />

Percy Jackson: Gods' Bane (DARK PERCY)
Percy Jackson is not a good person. At least, not anymore. Percy has been through a lot. Annabeth is dead and his few remaining friends are scattered across America. Percy's been loyal and heroic his whole life, he's always done what the gods asked. And they have only ever repaid him with pain and indifference. So now it's his turn. His longing for justice is growing and the more bitter he becomes, the more it sinks in that without Annabeth, he has nothing left to fight for. But then again, there's nothing holding him back. Revenge is something that has long been above Percy. But at the end of the day, at least it's something to fight for. The gods have forgotten that loyalty goes both ways. It's about time someone reminded them what happens when you lose the trust of a Demigod who rules on loyalty. ////Don't be afraid to spam comments or questions, I love attention teehee////Complete

#1 in Percabeth as of 08/05/2020 #2 in Antibullying as of 09/02/2021 P.S. This WHOLE BOOK is basically a trigger, so be warned. Annabeth Chase knows how it feels to be abandoned.

She's pretty sure no one will be her friend, even when the new kid, Percy Jackson is stuck as her chemistry partner for the rest of the school year. People who were once friendly to him, turn on her and make her life worse... Can Percy save Annabeth before she does something drastic to end the torture that has followed her all her life?Complete
The Moon's Shine (PJO)
Being one of the few survivors of the Second Giant War, twenty-two-year-old Percy Jackson is crushed. Nobody seems to be an ally anymore. Everyone appears to think he knows it all: How to deal with all the losses, how to deal with all the empty seats at the dining pavilion, and how to deal with the guilt. The guilt that he could've saved more people. Scarred and feeling like he isn't useful anymore, Percy doesn't know what to do with his life-until he meets a person who makes his heart beat again. But of course, like anything else worth living for, spending time with this person isn't as easy as pie. Follow Percy Jackson, the powerful son of Poseidon as he goes through an adventure full of drama, heartache, deception, and love. I'll try to make this as non-cliche as possible :) Rankings: #1 in percyjackson 8/14/23 #1 in theseven 3/10/24 #1 in pertemis 3/9/24 #1 in perseus 8/28/23 #1 in chb 8/28/23 #1 in pjofandom 10/30/23Complete
