Thanks for playing! :)

vomit / don’t ship / okay / it's complicated / only in an OT3+ / cute / adorable / perfect / beyond flawless / sexy / hot damn / screaming and crying / i will ship them in hell

I prefer Neptune/Percy, because Poseidon is that... goofy Hawaiian shirt dad. Poseidon is the one I see as Percy’s dad. But his Roman aspect, the strict, sexy dangerous sea. Yeeeah, that’s more my speed. ;D

Thanks for playing! ^^

Poseidon/Percy:

The ship is my: something, alright. I dunno what, but it is my something. I have a very conflicted relationship with this ship! Because I’m a complicated person! ;D

I consider this ship’s feelings: Mutual Love | Mutual Liking |  Mixed | Strange | Awkward | Enemies | Rivals | Acquaintances | Platonic | Best Friends |  Bromance |   Sibling-like | Familiar | One-sided | They  don’t really like each other | They hate/dislike each other

I’d consider the relationship:  Soulmates | A Good Match | Healthy | More on the Romantic Side | More on the Sexual Side | Awkward | Abusive | Toxic | Unbalanced/Bad Match | Doesn’t work properly | They’d never get together |

Children: No | Yes | They’d think about it

General Opinion: I’ve been very big on this ship once upon a time and I still occasionally ship it, but I have to be in a very peculiar mood for it and overall I prefer to ship Percy with Neptune - with just how much Riordan distinguishes between the Greek and Roman aspects, the separation of Poseidon and Neptune works rather well for me. I think considering the source material we’re working with here, the ship is pretty on brand, but I honestly... I don’t like Poseidon too much in the Riordanverse, hence the me prefering Neptune for shipping purposes? Poseidon’s mostly the... absent dad in the Hawaiian shirt. Neptune is the badass sea deity.

Asterion/Percy:

The ship is my: guilty pleasure! ;)

General Opinion: One of the fics I didn’t want to post when I wrote it and, to this day, the oneshot with the most feedback. And I’m talking positive feedback here. I mean, monsterfuckery is fun and I genuinely find Asterion to be an interesting figure - yes, I prefer to call him by his name instead of Minotaur, it’s so degrading. I don’t know, his myth is fascinating and so tragic, I really love giving him a spin. He’s half human; why should he be a mindless beast?

Octavian/Percy:

The ship is my: one of my OTPs in this fandom! I looove them so much! *^*

“Baby, I’m scared.” - “You don’t have to be; not as long as I’m here.”

Percy woke up with a scream on his lips, his fingers clawing at something – anything – to hold onto, to keep him tethered to reality. A sob wrecked his body and he collapsed forward.

"Perseus. Perseus, it's alright", whispered a dark, warm voice softly.

Strong arms wrapped around him and pulled him into a firm, soothing hug. Percy threw his own arms around his lover, clinging onto him and sobbing.

"Baby, I... I'm scared", whispered Percy, voice breaking.

"You don't have to be, not as long as I'm here", assured Neptune.

Tilting his head, Percy looked at the king of the ocean. It had happened during the Giant War, when Percy had been diving and afraid to drown when Neptune had appeared to him, soothing him. And after the war, they had... talked. A lot. Neptune had courted him. It had been weird, at first, thinking of Poseidon, the aloof dad in the Hawaiian shirts, and Neptune, the hot well-trained Roman god of storms and the ocean with harder edges than Poseidon. Neptune was hot. And kind and understanding. They found a common ground, in a far different way. And then they fell in love. Salacia and Neptune had separated a while ago, during the Titan War because Amphitrite/Salacia was not a fan of her husband cheating on her again. Now, five years later, Percy and Neptune were married, Percy ruled the ocean with his husband, having turned his back on being a hero – being the gods' puppet. Now he was a god himself, now he could finally rest.

Only... Only that he couldn't. Every now and again, the nightmares caught up with him. The Titan War, the Giant War, Tartarus, Smelly Gabe, just everything. And then he'd wake up, screaming and crying and breaking down. But every time he did, Neptune was there, at his side, catching him.

Neptune loved him, supported him, protected him. Percy knew Neptune would never allow Juno to kidnap him again and memory-wipe him again and put him in danger again. Neptune was going to be at his side and he would not allow any god to screw with Percy again. There were so many other dangers out there that Percy would have to face, but even with them, he knew Neptune would be at his side and help him through them. He knew that, for the first time, he was actually safe.

"Sorry for waking you", sighed Percy as he calmed down some, curling against Neptune.

"Never be sorry for that, my love", chided Neptune, kissing Percy's forehead softly. "When you need me, I'll always be there to protect you. Even from your own nightmares."

His beloved - mortals who are able to ignite something in him, - no matter what, the main thing is that he feels something.

When Neptune meets Percy Jackson, his warmth and laughter touch Neptune.

"No, I'm not talking to you."

"But Percy-", started Neptune, trying to reach out for his consort.

"You heard Percy, father", grunted Triton pointedly. "Leave now. Please."

Grumbling, Neptune left the camp. Percy smiled and turned toward his big brother. Triton sighed and shook his head before heading over toward the main house. Flapping his tail, Percy followed.

"Tell me though, why are you not talking to your husband?", asked Triton casually.

Percy glowered at that, arms crossed over his chest. "He told me that now that I'm his royal consort, I did not have to work anymore. I'm not some kinda trophy husband, you know?"

After the Giant War, Percy had become a merman, started working at the underwater summer-camp and turning over a new leaf. It had helped him deal with his PTSD. Aver the following months, he had made Neptune fall for him. The Roman Sea God had been enchanted ever since the Giant War already, and considering Poseidon and Amphitrite had gotten divorced over the matter of breaking an oath on the River Styx, Neptune was looking for a new consort. The two had courted and gotten together and by now, Percy was the official royal consort.

"Have you considered that perhaps, Neptune did not mean to insult you but rather to give you another option?", suggested Triton carefully, watching his younger brother.

The frown on Percy's face deepened as he tilted his head. With a sigh, he ran his fingers through his hair. Okay, so perhaps he was just a tiny bit sensitive about the topic. Ever since he had started dating the king, everyone had given him options, told him he'd be kissing babies and waving pleasantly from the balcony or whatever. He could not possibly be coped up in a palace all the time.

"I... I'll go and talk to my husband", sighed Percy frustrated. "It's just this... marriage-thing..."

Triton smiled amused and nodded as Percy made his way back to the palace to find his husband sulking in their bedroom. It was cute, really. Smiling a little, Percy swam up to Neptune and wrapped his arms around the god's neck from behind, kissing his cheek and startling him.

"...I thought you're not talking to me", grumbled Neptune, decidedly pouty.

"I... hope I just misunderstood you. It just... People have been telling me how I'd be like a... trophy queen once we'd get married so your suggestion... rubbed me the wrong way."

"Perseus, love, I would never ask of you to stop being who you are. I love you."

Percy smiled at that and nuzzled into his husband. "I know that. Sorry for... overreacting."
