As much as I ADORE fem!Percy x Apollo. I adore it soooooo muuuuccchhh and the Athenide AU is most definitely theirs and theirs alone, I have had these oh so random feelings abt our dark lord Hades.

I know he is HAPPILY married to Persephone but ever since I read the latest chapter of @dewypinkmorningroses "triplets of the sea" fic where it was elaborated that the only reason why Hades' and Persephone's marraige is open is because of Adonis the only thought in my mind is that "Percy goddess of loyalty would have NEVER done him like this. Ever."

I went on a whole shpeal about how at the time Persephone didn't really know what she wanted & it was a mistake of delayed teenage rebellion that drove her into doing what she did. That fueled her desire for Adonis. But how such a mistake (and it really was a mistake y'all) ruined, what was essentially the perfect marraige.

Hades was kind to not divorce her because that would have meant a MASSIVE demotion from goddess of spring and QUEEN OF THE UNDERWORLD to yet another nameless faceless minor nature goddess that dotted the endless pantheon of Olympus.

She'd never be as revered as she was a queen and with the many domains her husband had gifted her. And honestly? Is she really the goddess of spring for real? Because it is DEMETER who brings about spring upon the return of her daughter. She was precious only in the eyes of her mother and then later on her husband.

And all I could think was, 'Damn. Percy wuld have never done that to her man.'

And all I could think of were THOSE TWO and how sexy their dark aesthetics would have been. Would have fueled culture, media and romance literal for centuries. CENTURIES I MEAN! Goth couples will be emulating for millennia to come. Mark my words. "every goth king needs his goth queen." but also? She's sporty, sunny tan and athletic. So maybe it would be like "Every emo goth loser needs his sunny, smiley bikini wearing girlfriend who forces her king of darkness BF to take a break from all his work and just enjoy a day at the beach and stop hissing evertimw the sun touches your skin husband. You're a GOD. Not a vampire!"

Walk with me here guys. Walk.

Her aesthetic: sexy beach goddess. White sands. Bright sun. Clear water. Fresh air. Palm trees, fresh fruits all that.

Him:

Lol. I couldn't quiet get a face inspo but just imagine a pale sickly guy in dark robes and shit. I don't care.

Also. I couldn't get over the idea of Poseidon and Hades going from not just brothers but also to father and son in law and I just found that whole dynamic Hillarious. Just absolutely Hillarious.

Perpollo still reigns supreme by the way. Perpollo supremacy forever!!! ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

But! This idea is cute too lol. Poseidon & Hades relationship is prolly healthier than the relationship he and Demeter have in canon. But still mischievous, taunting, petty and childish too Hehehehe... 😭😭😭

They're family tree is soooo wierd like that. There's no way in hell Hades would EVER see his younger brother as his dad BUT he's also his beloved's dad so I Imagine childish petty sibling rivalry and nonsense to ensue.

This will create SOOOOO MAAANNY MYTHS. So maaaany.

Like Poseidon's irrational fear that Hades will take his place in Percy's heart and be her DAD and not just her DADDY or whatever.

Poseidon: star fish. You don't love him more than me right? *defeated seal pup look* 🥺

Percy: *looks at her father with deadpan face* How many times do I have to explain this to you??? He's my HUSBAND. You're my DAD. I love the bothe of you EQUALLY but in VERY DIFFERENT WAYS. no one type of love is superior to the other. You will ALWAYS be the first member of the male species I loved when I came into this world. So yes u are the first man I loved. But he's my HUSBAND so I love him too. What's not clocking? Can't you see that I'm standing on business?? (in her justin bieber voice)

They get married but Poseidon still won't let his daughter go (so no kidnapping here) so Percy decides to just run away and elope with her love. When Poseidon sees the letter his heart drops. Blood turns cold. His blood pressure rises. And he becomes the first god ever to experience a heart attack.

Poseidon is HEART BROKEN! The winds from the oceans blows colder into the mainland. Making what was supposed to be rain ice. The first winter in experienced by the world.

Zeus tries the big stick approach and basically threaten and punish his brother into acting like he has some godsdamn sense again but Poseidon is stubborn and petty so it doesn't matter how much Zeus pokes or bashes him with a stick the big pile of sadness that is the lord of the seas REFUSES to budge.

And so Zeus summons the happy couple to Olympus to solve the damn problem.

Zeus: listen. Poseidon's sadness is literally destroying nature and killing Mortals in the realm. I've had it up to HERE with nature gods, goddesses spirits, nymphs and their moms petitioning me to solve the damn issue.

But most importantly? Seeing my brother like that is really bumming me out. Like. We don't get along I know but it still bums me out as a brother to see my bro like this.

So I've decided! Lady loyalty will stay with her husband in the underworld 3 months out of the year and Poseidon will get the other 9. Cool? Cool. Problem solved.

Percy: *deadpans* I was just on my honeymoon. And I wrote in the letter I'd make sure to visit every weekend anyways. 🙄

Poseidon mumbles from his heap of blankets: but that's not enough. U promise to be daddy's princess forever! Remember!

Percy: I was 30 minutes old when that happened! How was I supposed to know I was swearing a vow? Or even what that vow meant?! I thought that meant I'd keep my title as an atlantean princess and be a loyal and dependable daughter! How was I supposed to know you meant I shuld stay in my child form forever?!

Another cool advantage of this pairing is the fact that there aren't that many famous demigod children of Hades. And even if he does have canonical ones in the Riodanverse he can have them after Percy's disappearance and before her return and rebirth. So nico and bianca di angelo get to exist in this world yay! Without any cheating involved! Also yay!

And Nico gets a cool step mom! Also yay!

Anyways. Just had to get that dabble out my mind.

[delightfulmakertidalwave]

Oh my goodness I love things like this!

I love how a fanfic can start things like this. You make a good fanfic. It inspires fanart. Which brings more people. Who add their own talents. We can't all be artists so we make edits. Uuuugh! I love this!

BUT ALSO! I bet this is what their Instagram feed looks like if they ever get one. I bet Apollo would get one just for this.

This shit is soooo sugary sweet I'm DYING! my heart is bursting at the sheer cuteness of this all. But I bet this shit is annoying as hell to the other gods.

Well. At least the music will be good. Art and culture, especially the music, always seems to get good whenever Apollo is in a mood like this.

warning: the video you are about to watch is the combination of my excessive love for "Forget me not" by my beloved @tiredbitchposts and her impeccable writing!!

the way she writes perpollo it's just so- URRRRHHHHHHH i love them and i love her your honor😔 but yes, this is an early gift for her birthday.... one of them.

If you haven't read this MASTERPIECE yet, please go read it, it will change your life (for better or for worse, depending on whether you are emotional like me), i promise

[delightfulmakertidalwave]

Lol. There's an English version already. The group released two versions

Have you ever heard the song "Dr Feel Good" by Rania? The kpop group? It's one of my most FAVE songs. Sooo good.

Anyways... The lyrics would be pretty Hillarious to hear come from percy and Apollo to hear them. Bcs he's basically a doctor too bcs he's the god of medicine.

I just imagine that scene with Percy, the girls and Nico at the beach all over again when she was singing that song in a bikini and they had to shut her down bcs it was getting a little too hot.

Percy: *sings Dr feel good at the next karaoke bcs she's deep in her Kpop era*

Dr. Dr. feel good

Come make me feel real good

Strap me down into my chair

I've been feelin' real bad

Dr. Dr. feel good

Come make me feel real good

Strap me down into my chair

I've been feelin' real bad

I wanna feel real good

I need to feel real good

I wanna feel real good

Cause I've been really bad, bad

Apollo: *raises climate change.*

The campers: why is it suddenly so hot tonight??

And seeing that as of the last chapter Percy got blessed to become fluent in whatever language she wishes to learn, babygirl would be able to sing the whole long with no issues

And yes, people WILL suffer from how horny Apollo gets over Percy 😔 but no one is suffering as much as him since not even he can handle all that

[delightfulmakertidalwave]

Sally was wearing a blue bikini that day at the beach. She was doomed and she didn't even know it poor dear. 😭 Maybe Percy got a teeny tiny bit of her obliviousness from her. The other 98% was definitely Poseidon's clueless ass but 2 percent was her fault. 😔

I imagine a cute girl in the ocean. Chilling. Two sharks circling her unbeknownst to her. 😔

I usually don't like Polygamist or polyamory stories like... At all. But the idea of Percy being a threesome baby in the Lestercy AU is just too hilarious to let go.

I just can't stop laughing. I'm gonna need some stories abt the fam in Greece for a bit bcs that sh!t is Hillarious.

And i know in my heart of Hearts that Amphitrite is just as "intense" and Poseidon is. She just has better self control and patience than her husband this making her better at hiding it lol. That's why she got to stay in Greece during that dangerous period in their lives where they had to send Sally home to hide in America. She was a part of the business and organisation lol. She couldn't go into hiding. 😭 They needed her in the field. 😭😭😭

For all we know it was HER IDEA to baby trap Sally IN THE FIRST PLACE! How else where they gonna convince an American tourist to NOT disregard their tryst as just some crazy experiment and summer fling abroad???

I'm probably going to write something about baby!Percy with her family in the future but haven't decided what yet, Not everything is roses (sometimes there's pricks) was the first time I wrote a child's pov so I'm not too confident with that.

And yes, Amphitrite IS very intense, the thing is that she's subtle and willing to play the long game if it means getting what she wants. First time she saw Sally she knew that woman would be hers...and Poseidon's too if she felt like it or whatever.

One summer, almost 16 years ago

Amphitrite: Who was that woman you were talking to? The pretty one with the brown hair at the pier

Poseidon, raising his hands in defense: My love, please, I swear that I—

Amphitrite, rolling her eyes: Oh my god, just tell me her name and for how long she'll be in Greece for

Poseidon, catching her drift: Two weeks, she said her name is Sally Jackson, full name is actually Salacia and she thought our names being "on theme" is a funny coincidence.

Amphitrite, pulling out her pocket mirror and checking her makeup: Thank you dear, now you'll go and introduce the two of us so we can all grab some lovely dinner while I chat with my "other half"

Poseidon, giving his elbow to her: Of course, my queen

[delightfulmakertidalwave]

Amphitrite is so lucky it's insane and it somehow scares Poseidon. He was all bummed out and grumbly about having to play the long game when it came to Sally and Percy but Amphy knows what's best right? He knows he can be a bit... Intense...

But lucky for them Sally committed murder! Yay! (and he definitely doesn't find that hot. Like not at all. Not even a little bit. Nope. Nopeitty nope. Nadda. Okay maybe a little bit. And maybe so does Amphitrite.) But what a lucky break for them am I right??

I mean sure they COULD help Sally fight her case and she culd win BUT both he and his wife would PREFER her in Greece so they're not gonna tell her that tid bit. Best to get her to Greece now while she's panicked. And no. There's nothing morally questionable abt taking advantage of such a situation to get what you want.

Percy NOT being a threesome baby in the main universe is prolly why Poseidon failed to convince Sally to move under the sea with him lol. 😭

Amphitrite in the Lestercy universe eventually convinced Sally to move to Greece with them like... Likidy split. I mean. It took a few years of convincing but it happened.

If she was involved in that affair? She would've gotten the job done. Percy likely would've been like 3 yrs old when it happened but Sally would be under the sea in a castle chilling with the crabs and eating unlimited seafood forever.

Instead she's moved on with her life and is now with Paul. 😁 Who we all know and love because he's an AMAZING step father to percy and husband to Sally and father of Estelle but make no mistake, Paul would not be a factor in the equation had Amphitrite been there.

Fun fact! When we get into the backstory of the Lestercy au in Not everything is roses (sometimes there's pricks) we learn that the original plan was for Sally and Percy to move into another residence in NYC. The plan was for Sally rebuild her relationship with Amphitrite and Poseidon and let Percy get to know her father and stepmother/other mom until she felt confident that taking her babygirl to live with the two of them in Greece was the right move.

Of course, that didn't happen because Sally ended up killing Gabe with Tracie Miller's (Sally neighbor's teenaged daughter) baseball bat and she ended up deciding it was better to get the fuck out of the country.

And Yes, had Percy been a thresome baby in the mainverse Amphitrite would have gotten both of her girls (And Poseidon's too...whatever) under the sea in under 3 years.

[delightfulmakertidalwave]

I'm just IMAGINING that first chapter they met and instead of Lester waling out the van it's Apollo.

Thalia cried that day. She knew she lost Percy the second blondie stepped out the car. 😢

A common misconception about the Lestercy au is that Lester's looks are the only thing that makes Percy's friends and family dislike him but I can assure y'all that if Lester looked like his Apollo self they still wouldn't fuck with him, they just wouldn't make his looks the entire reason

Reasons they still wouldn't fuck with Lester (or Apollo) even if he was hot

He's dating Percy

He has thousands of pictures of himself on instagram (why are you, as a man, posting that many aesthetic pictures of yourself?)

Looks like a player

Asked Percy to be his girlfriend one week into taking and everyone felt that was way too soon

He's very romantic with her, but from the outside it kind of looks like love-bombing

Is friendly but since he's hot as hell that comes off as being as being flirty and why is he flirting with other people when he has a girlfriend??? Whore

He's an attractive son of Zeus, no one believes he's the faithful boyfriend he actually is

He's dating Percy

[delightfulmakertidalwave]

NOT YOU TWO! NOOOOO!

The fem!Percy x Apollo tag NEEEEEDDDSSS YOOOOUUU!!!

How I’m feeling rk

@tiredbitchposts

[delightfulmakertidalwave]

Apollo??? A minor god?! In Rome? Howwww???

I read a m/m Perpollo fic where Apollo and his Roman self where two seperate people basically.

His Roman self was stricter, wore a UNIFORM to work because he considered driving the sun chariot an honour nd had a British accent for no other reason than the fact that it sounded proper.

Not to steal the other author's idea but ever since then I couldn't get the idea of Apollo's Roman Self being a seperate body and personality part of the same entity our of my head.

What makes the thing extra Hillarious is the fact that our precious boi Greek Apollo thinks he's a total DORK!

Maybe u can make ur own take of Roman Apollo. He obviously doesn't know the love fest his Greek self is in rn. But as soon as he's caught up I know he'd absolutely SEETHE in Jealousy over his lesser Greek self (his words not mine) just basking in all of Percy's attention all to himself. Lol.

This has to be some kind of discrimination right? All Apollo lives matter! ✊🏿

Ok, I actually have opinions about how Rick handled Apollo's roman aspect in canon that my friends are probably tired hearing me ranting about on discord that I won't get into today but let it be known that I LOVE the idea of them being separate people so I'll share something I was thinking about If I ever wrote Forget Me Not that far

Greek Apollo is an Olympian, one of THE major gods in his side of the pantheon, there's no doubt that as far as gods go he's one of the most important ones

Roman Apollo is a minor god, doesn't even have a temple in Rome because those guys would rather focus on the military or whatever the hell they have going on. Bro doesn't even have any demigods in Rome (closest thing to that being Octavian who's a legacy)

Percy is dating Greek Apollo and while she is very much into any version of her man she knows Apollo enough to know that he would have a crash of epic proportions if she ever got with someone else, that includes another version of him.

If Greek Apollo and Roman Apollo are pretty much the same person and the only thing that changes is how much they're worshipped on their respective sides of the pantheon, how much do you want to bet that Roman Apollo would think that the reason Percy "doesn't want him" is because he's not a major god? Bro doesn't even have a temple, how can he expect that she'd let him enter 😔🙏 (god that was bad)

Yes, Roman Apollo thinks he's being discriminated against and he WILL cry about it

[delightfulmakertidalwave]

She'd be shocked at first abt the Pinterest board but she'd be into it pretty quick. Trust. 🤞🏽

His designs are very compelling. PLUS it gives her so much hope for the future. And once she's into it she's gonna make Pinterest boards of her own. Of their future kids.

Apollo's turn to be shocked when he sees that. Introducing her to Pinterest was the best idea ever.

Apollo, when he and Percy make it official: okay I got a ring, I’ve got the wedding venue, I’ve got the bride price for Poseidon to be traditional and I’ve got the flowers for Sally when I ask for her blessing, I’ve got Artemis as my best man, I’ve got the-

Percy, when she and Apollo make it official: okay so maybe I won’t die a virgin in less than a year

Apollo planning their wedding and layout of their maritial home while Percy tries to figure out the logistics of doing him on her twin bed without waking up her mom and stepdad on the next room

Alternatively

Percy: I think I'm ready for the next step

Apollo, eyes shinning: You are? I've been meaning to ask you, but I wouldn't want to assume—

Percy: Yeah, I am, I'm a bit nervous because it's a first for me, but I trust you

Apollo: Thank you for your trust, my love eagerly kissing her I swear you'll have the best wedding in existence

Percy: Excuse me?

Apollo: Well, not just the wedding, but the best marriage overall, it's just that I've been planning our cerimony for the longest time and—

Percy: Cerimony

Apollo, eager: Yes? Want to see my planner? It's actually my Pinterest board, but I printed out since you can't use the internet

[delightfulmakertidalwave]

Lol. This is such a good explanation.

Apollo really thought his GF was gonna break up with him. He was bawling and everything. Imagine his suprise when she didn't and just comforted him over his new found mortality?

He didn't think it was possible but he fell in love with her a little be more thag day. Percy why are u so perfect? 🥺

At some point Zues is gonna get tired if Apollo almost burning the whole world everytime percy does something unintentionally sexy.

It's part of the reason why he turned him into Lester tbh. I mean. Yeah he needed someone to blame abt the whole second great prophecy shit but also? He had to force Apollo to control his reactions and turning him into a human (while coincidentally taking away his power to do shit like that in the first place) was a nice bonus.

He also wanted to punish Apollo for focusing so much on his girlfriend so he made him the opposite of the girl's type so he could get dumped and finally lock in...sadly he either overestimated Percy's standards or underestimated her love for Apollo so now he's obligated to see the abomination that is a baddie like Percy with Lester... he's Lester

[delightfulmakertidalwave]

At this point, it's starting to feel like Percy has face blindness. Which she doesn't.

She's just not so caught up with surface level shit like acne and bad hair. Like... Yeah good hair and clear skin is great of course but how does any of that fuck with the bone structure of his face? Or take away inches from his height? Or make his eyes a less vivid shade of yellow? (I like to headcanon him with Kronos' eye lol.)

Is she the ONLY person that can see the dimples??? Is everyone else blind???

Not percy barely stopping herself from jumping Lester's bones! Nooooo! 😭😭😭

Its a good thing Lester doesn't know this because he'd do the opposite of stopping her. Which would be bad bcs teen pregnancy is not a good look.

okay but Apollo being the one to go “awOOOOGA” over Percy is so valid and Percy being all “hellOOOOOOOOO NURSE” over Apollo/lester is understandable

It truly is, they're both extremely down bad for one another and I find that beautiful

Apollo down bad like one if those cartoon wolves seeing a really hot female character but he's a god so his reactions are more extreme and yet he considers himself reasonably restrained as he hasn't tried to kidnap her yet

Percy with Apollo is down bad in a way she's staring at the very real risk of turning into a plant, thinking "Meh, demigods live short lives anyway" and diving head first into those blonde infested waters

Lester's down bad in a teenaged type of way, he's liable to walk into walls, trip over his own shoes, he draws their wedding invitations on his spare time, he's also that meme "My girlfriend is mad at me, hope I die"

Meanwhile, Percy with Lester is down bad in a way that she gets concerned over because if she doesn't control herself she'll jump his bones.

Ps. Hyacynthus is a popular up and coming male model in this one. 😭

He looks like he walked off a Kelvin Kline ad the first time they meet him.

Lester: Guys! Meet my childhood best friend (and first love) Hyacynthus!

Hyacynthus: Hi Lester's friends!

Everyone: he can't keep getting away with thiiiiissss!!!

Can u imagine Hyacynthus in ur Lester AU tho? It wuld be hilarious for pple to find out that Percy was not the first hot person Lester pulled.

Hyacynthus was Lester's primary and middleschool best friend. They sat in the same desk together! Hyacynthus had the BIGGEST CRUSH on Lester. Lester was just too oblivious to notice. Lol. He had a big crush on Hyacynthus too but didn't think to entertain the idea that he culd like him back. So. First love. All that jazz.

But imagine Lester's childhood friend coming into town. And it's the prettiest boy well... Ever. Lester introduces him to friends as his childhood best friend. Eventually he drops the bomb that he used to have a pretty huge crush on Lester lol.

Everyone sitting there gaping thinking... Wow. It wasn't just Percy? Lester somehow managed this shit not just once but... Twice? Percy isn't the FIRST amazingly hot person he managed to pull?

And Lester is sitting there also shocked like "U liked me this entire time???" sorta like how shocked Percy was to find out that Nico had a crush on him too in the books.

Percy is pretty cool abt it. Nods in deep understanding because yeah. She too gets it. Why someone wuld fall for the charms of her man. In her mind it's like, "I mean. It's Lester. Who WULDN'T fall head over heels for him? Hyacynthus is so real for that. I'm cool with him as long as he doesn't get any funny ideas. U had Ur chance. And missed it. No take backsies. Nuh uh. He's min now. 😤"

Percy being the only person not surprised at all that Lester managed to pull Hyacinthus, like, He's Lester, of course Hyacinthus would have a huge crush on him in the past 🤷🏽

Everyone else starts thinking that really hot people have terrible eye sights or Lester practice his mumbo jumbo on the pretty boy then mastered it on Percy bc how the fuck do you explain him being able to pull twice????

[delightfulmakertidalwave]

It's a bit of a small mercy that Lester and Percy only have eyes for each other because imagine if they were open to sharing and Lester not only got one but TWO hot partners? This the greed they warn against in the Bible.

Biblical greed.

And then all three of them post Lester glow up. Even greedier because how can they all be that selfish?

Or like in Ice Age when the animators FINALLY decided to give scraggle the sabretoothed squirrel his nut. Finally. After all that time.

Percy. Genuinely shocked and relieved to have survived the great prophecy. The reality of it all doesn't hit her until she sees Apollo again k Olympus for the first time.

So he's just done healing everyone after the war and she... Jumps into his arms and starts making out with him. Right there. In front of everyone. And they're just. Going at it. Jn plain view of everyone.

And that's it. That's how everyone finds out about their relationship.

Percy about to drop down and give the Greek pantheon a REAL incident to talk about fr 😔🙏

On another note, I like to imagine they become official post-war and it's akin to watching that really pick me girl finally getting the "girlfriend" title from the nonchalant guy she's been obsessed with, only that Apollo is the pick me girl

Bro's about to become 1° suspect when Percy goes missing after Hera yoinked her away
