Corner of Muse

Sing, poet, the echo of my will.

Hello, my odesingers! I’m Oceanic Muse, an amateur writer passionate about Greek myths and fanfiction.

I often struggle with continuity and rarely finish what I start, but if someone finds inspiration in my ideas, feel free to use them! I only ask for credit. It excites me to see how others interpret or expand my work.

1. Personal interpretations: All the fanfics, AUs, and ideas I share here are based on my interpretations and personal analysis. While the original concepts are not always mine (and I will give credit when possible), their development and application are. Please don’t apply other authors’ logic to my work—every writer has a unique perspective, and mine may be very different.

That led me to revisit the original fanfic, since my pause, I usually read all the comments from Gmail. I think it was around the time I edited that chapter "Cloudy", which was accidentally translated into Spanish and I had to translate it back into English.

At the same time, that led me to develop the chapters a bit more. Let's say, to edit them. Not a big deal, but a little. My English clearly failed, so I'm going to focus on the Spanish version, of the chapters I already have, while simultaneously working on chapter ten.

Is it very long? I don't think so.

Did I give a preview? Yes, but I'm not satisfied with what I have, and it wasn't finished.

In other news, my life is decent, the chapter is... Well, fine? I'm trying my best, but overall I have little motivation to do anything. Still, I think it's not so bad right now, but as always, the translation is terrible.

I really admire real writers.

However, in my outline, there are still a few chapters before that.

Anyway, I think it's really fun that Hermes and Percy's (Perseira's) perceptions are almost radically different. Well, Percy and all the gods.

I barely remember the Athenide stories I read and drew inspiration from, and I'm in no mood to reread/read anything other than my own work or songs lately, so I'm essentially blind. It's really fun, and refreshing not having the pressure of the original fanfic's structure fresh in my mind. I think I enjoy it more this way. I remember the basic structure very well, but the details are lost in my mind.

Anyway, as I recall, Apollo usually falls in love immediately. Well, Hermes doesn't, so prepare for a delicious slow burn.

Or something similar to slowburn. It's not actually very slow, but for gods, it is.

Btw, I've been feeling better about my ideas lately. Before, when I was active, I thought everything was a big mess, but now I like what I'm doing. All the support I've received has helped me a lot, so I really owe you a lot. You have been really patient and sweet with me and it made, and still makes, me feel very good to know that there are people who like my work.

She dropped the branch. It snapped against the marble. The sound resonated more than it should have, too low, too deep.

—

Even holding a branch that, in any other context, would have been ridiculous, Athenide was impressive.

—

Upon seeing her, Apollo remembered what she had been like in the early days: a fussy, restless girl, with a temperament that challenged him with too much passion during those times.

—

"I found something!" His voice echoed in the silent Olympic hall. His footsteps sounded like a death sentence.

—

Since August 18, 2009, the entire Olympian community had mobilized to find any trace of their supposed savior, Persephone Eira Jackson, who had disappeared along with the remains of the traitor Luke Castellan.

Okay, let's sit down and think about that unfinished AU of the 7 time-traveling to ancient Greece in Athenide-style.

There are many Percy and friends time-traveling fanfics (not always all 7), but probably only two or three that are actually from Athenide that I know, excluding the Athenide Twins, and maybe others are in planning.

To contribute to this one, because I really find it very interesting, I'm going to propose my own version, and everyone is free to use it or be inspired by it, okay? Just be respectful.

In previous posts I mentioned this AU, which I will call Squad Athenide PROVISIONALLY because I can't think of anything better. I gave a list of 18 half-bloods that appear in the Percy Jackson sagas as the demigods that I would include in a fanfic like this.

There are a LOT of them, so even if you want to use any of my ideas, it's perfectly reasonable to discard most of them.

I've given them names, which you can choose from as you wish. They all have a reason, related to the etymology I discovered for the name. Again, correct me if I'm wrong.

In this AU, Annabeth is NOT called Arsinoe, although I like her a lot. Despite my initial bewilderment, I loved @anotheroceanid's idea of Athenide and Odysseus' daughter, so I made them separate characters since Annabeth will also be time-traveling.

I really like that Percy travels through time with someone, because I really have a hard time not making her a Mary Sue regarding the domains and roles in the myths to be developed. If there are more mixed-race women with her, I can share the duties.

I made a chart to help me organize categorically (character, divine name, "Roman version", domain(s), species/race, parents)

Some of the data, for example, to focus on the Athenide Twins (following my version):

Annabeth Chase: Annatheia; Athena and Poseidon; goddess; Commitment, heroes, ingenuity, fairness, trenches, critical thinking, ambition; Nerio.

I won't give Percy any information because of possible spoilers.

Premise:

Psyche dies during her last task, but Eros manages to save their daughter Hedone. She spends much time in the Underworld while the world sings a different story under the influence of Apollo, as revenge.

(I don't picture Apollo as a villain, to be honest. I picture Apollo and Percy/Eros more like Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton than anything else. They both have completely different motivations, reasons, and thoughts. They don't get along, but that doesn't make them strictly evil.)

Pyche is reincarnated as Perseus Jackson as punishment from the River Styx upon Poseidon for breaking his oath and is eventually reunited with Eros.

Percy doesn't remember anything from his past life other than "muscle memory," like a sixth instinct to dislike pigeons, get nervous around seeds, and stuff like that.

Eros recognizes his wife immediately and becomes obsessed with courting her again, regardless of whether she is a man in this life or the likely fatal destiny that awaits him.

Percy is transfem and discovers it along the way, that's what makes writing the hardest for me. I am very afraid of dealing with such a delicate subject as the discovery of sexuality and gender identity with misinformation, prejudice, or in any way disrespectful. I fully support the community, and I am gender fluid myself, but I am fully aware of how different the experiences can be.
