A bunch of Percys (or how I imagined them in fics I've read)

Percy (Poseidon) - regular ol' Percy. This Percy is who we read in the books as well as often read in fics. Usually extremely powerful with the trauma to match.

Percy (Neptune) - 'disciplined'/no-nonsense Percy. This Percy usually has stories similar to Jason's origin where he was given to Lupa at a very young age. A very good and talented soldier but needs to depend on his cunning and strengths to be properly recognized within the legion.

Percy (Aphrodite) - this Percy has most of Sally's features (coz Aphy deemed her beautiful) except for the eyes. He's an incredible fighter with strong charmspeak. He's also adept at seafaring.

Percy (Demeter) - more on earth and plant powers, the thing that separates him from his siblings is that he can let all living things shrivel up and die at will. Like how Demeter "lets everything perish" during winter. Good with a scythe, ironically.

They all become the prophecy child.

Perseus Jackson, Son of Neptune, Praetor of the Twelfth Legion

CHAPTER 3/?

Anaklusmos.” The whisper left them both at the same time. Annabeth looked up, fingers still on the hilt, and on Percy’s hand. He glows too, she realized. It suits him better than the harsh gold; the bronze sits gracefully on his browned skin, the green rises from the Earth like a lovely tendril. Blood becomes the color of time as finally, his eyes resemble the ones that kept her company for days. Young, foliage not yet grown into the mighty tree that it’s meant to, but yet stands tall to protect someone with its shade. You are not alone, the blade informs her.

“I have to tell you something.” Now she knew she had to, but remained unsure of what to tell him. His eyes opened further, and the green coyly hid behind his expanding pupil. ‘I dreamt of your eyes?’

“You what?”

Read on AO3:

Jason and Percy are switched as well here as in Jason is originally Greek and Percy is originally Roman so as to avoid the whole ‘Percy floods the world searching for Annabeth‘ situation.

Imagine Annabeth, who gets proclaimed a weirdo daughter of Minerva who should just stick to the arts, be badass as fuck in war games and be an unpredictable crazy battle strategist and brilliant fighter. The potential POV would be SO cool to read and I’m desperate for a fic like that

and like the enemies to friends to lovers with Praetor Percy would be so great

plus I wanna see Annabeth without her backstory in new Rome. An Annabeth who never knew Percy and who barely remembers Luke or Thalia or Grover

It’s a whopping 10k words so brace yourselves! It’s been a wild ride writing this, but I’m not quite done yet.

Back in New Rome, Jason watches the Senate-and Percy-at work. After that, things are good. Until they're not.

The idea for this is basically what if Percy was a son of Janus. Which then led to my head canon that children of Janus have two head like father like son. So the right one is just Percy and left Perseus. Percy is the same as in cannon except more optimistic whilst Perseus is very pessimistic.

This then led to roman Percy because well Janus is a roman god so roman!Percy YEA.

Alright so in this AU Percy was born the son of Neptune and Jason. I’ve always wondered how things would have gone with Percy going to Camp Jupiter and Jason to Camp Jupiter. This describes the events before HOO.

Jason

So Jason’s father is Zeus, not Jupiter.

Hera threatens Beryl Grace with her life. Hera wants the abomination that is Jason Grace to be destroyed.

Beryl resists killing her son, and because of this she is incinerated by the goddess.

Thalia sees this, takes Jason, and runs away.

Jason is raised as a runaway, which causes him to learn his powers as he goes.

He eventually meets his “older brother” Luke and his “sister” Annabeth.

They are a fighting force that, according to Thalia, “Wishes a bitch would try them”.

Then comes Thalia’s sacrifice into a pine tree. He visits it and spends at least 30 minutes talking to her.

Think of how Jason is now pretty pessimistic, and deals with a lot of insecurity issues.

After all, his sister was THE Thalia Grace, the powerful daughter of Zeus who valiantly took on hundreds of monsters for the sake of three other demigods.

Jason trains every day so that his sister’s sacrifice isn’t in vain.

He has an insatiable thirst to prove himself. He used to get bullied over some Ares cabin members how wimpy he seemed.

Those Ares kids never quite recover from “shock therapy”.

He becomes stoic and distant to everyone but Annabeth and Luke.

He, as his father’s son, his the one to find the Master Bolt along with Annabeth and Grover Underwood.

They find the bolt and do many other things, like restoring his sister’s life (SoM), looking for the missing Annabeth (TC), becoming president of the Nico Protection Squad (BotL), and allowing Luke to make the sacrifice that saves the world (TLO).

The odd thing is, the prophecy wasn’t meant to be about Thalia, so she gets to age past sixteen. This brings in some head scratches from demigods, but whatever. The Fates have already decided their hero.

Jason’s has a coin-sword named IVLIVS that he found in the junkyard.

One side of IVLIVS is a lance (his most preferred side). The other is his golden xiphos.

When Thalia comes back he is the happiest person alive; after all HIS FUCKING SISTER IS BACK!

Thalia still joins the hunt, but renegotiates the immortality part. She couldn’t stand becoming the “younger sibling”.

He takes the Achilles Curse (his spot on the back of his knee) and is regarded as the greatest Greek hero.

Then, one day after a camp fire sing along Camp Half-Blood’s beloved hero vanished. Everyone went crazy.

Percy

Percy is still born in New York, but leaves at the age of three when, during a bath, he starts a mini whirlpool. Sally gets freaked out by how a week later a monster literally fucking appears at her door. She was like nah bitch and left.

Percy has ADHD and Dyscalculia (headcanon Romans have dyscalculia).

Sally gets in a car crash just outside of the Wolf House while attempting to find some sort of safe haven (little did they know this was under the rage of Hera when she fucked up killing Jason). Sally dies.

Baby Percy is found by Lupa and she raises him until he is three.

Percy is arguably Lupa’s favorite demigod (including Romulus and Remus). Because of this, Percy is more rugged, wolfish, and feral.

He is alienated and hated for his parentage (him being the Son of Neptune).

Ight but imagine Percy trying to play with the other kids and all they do in sneer in disgust and/or use some form of verbal abuse.

Imagine all of his instructors treating him with blatant prejudice and biased.

Not to add that these instructors always use the most brutal variations of training known to the Legion to utterly demolish Percy.

Imagine Percy pushing himself to his very limits and overcoming his training, only to become the most skilled warrior in the legion in centuries (if not the strongest in the millennium).

Imagine Percy knowing that if he is the best, he will eventually become praetor and become able to change the way things are in this horrible ass camp.

Percy becomes the snarkiest, most sarcastic lil shit that still pisses off any enemy he can (whether it be a mortal, demigod, or monster). This makes the enemy act rash so he can find an inside weakness.

His fatal flaw (loyalty) is still the same, but it is much more selective.

Percy has longer, wavy/messy hair that he ties into a ponytail. He wears this as a sign of rebellion from the Romans, because pretty much all of the dudes have buzzcuts.

Percy has a lot of mastery over his powers. Especially his Earthshaker and Stormbringer powers.

He wields Riptide, the cursed blade from the time of Hercules. It is 3 feet long, and made of Imperial Gold with riveted gold studs, shimmering blade.

 He originally hates the blade because it adds fuel to the fire of the “Hate on Percy” parade. He later accepts it and will fucking demolish anyone who tries to damn him for it.

Platonic Frankercy in which Percy adopts Frank as his brother.

The biggest fucking shipper of Frazel before Frazel even knew what Frazel was.

He blood bent the Trojan Sea Monster

He toppled the throne of Krios with his Earthshaker powers, lead the attack against Mount Othrys, creates a strong ass mini hurricane against Hyperion (oh yeah that shit still happened...it was too fucking cool to not include) and earns his right to become praetor along with his other best friend/adoptive lesbian sis Reyna.

Percy becomes a boss praetor, kicking Octavian’s ass and taking names on a daily basis. He plants the seeds of change among Camp Jupiter. It slowly become a lighter, more relaxed presence in the legion with Percy as praetor.

If one more asshole cat-called Annabeth, she was going to kill them. With her bare hands. In her defense, she had no weapons—a fatal miscalculation on Lupa’s behalf—and the one butter knife she had hidden up her sleeve was for the monsters she kept running into, not—

“Hey, baby! You look too lonely! Wanna join me for breakfast?”

She pushed off from the ground and went for her knife.

“Listen, you mother—” The car skidded past her before she could pull out her pathetic excuse for a weapon. What stayed behind in the air was the raucous laughter and the revolting leers; her only companion for the past forty-seven days. Forty-seven sunrises and Forty-seven sunsets since she had woken up in a ruined mansion overtaken by vines, surrounded by thick forest.
