I have this AU that I will eventually get to writing where Sally is the reincarnation of Pallas (Triton’s daughter) and the child who would be Percy in another universe gets two moms

[secretfandomrambles]

Debating on a few things for my Odysseus!Percy Jackson au so:

[secretfandomrambles]

Apollo’s Unreliableness as a Narrator

So in the Trials of Apollo, Apollo’s canonically an unreliable narrator, yes? He either straight up lies, or doesn’t tell the reader everything.

My question then, is this: when Apollo meets Sally Jackson and freaks out because of her pregnancy. Is he really confused? Or is he pretending? He apparently is able to remember his own existence prior to his and Artemis’s birth so he should know what pregnancy is.

Or is it because he has too much knowledge crammed into a mortal brain and he can only hold onto the really important things?

[secretfandomrambles]

I don’t have a massive amount of stuff planned out, but eventually I am going to write an Athena/Reincarnated!Pallas Sally Jackson AU. (I have a bunch more stories to write first tho so I don’t know when I’ll get to it.)

Percy will be getting two moms 😏

Poseidon and his family are gonna hate it.

It’s gonna be fun.

[secretfandomrambles]

Not sure if this would be amusing or horrifying. But I’m imagining a Trials of Apollo AU where Apollo is sent down to Earth in the same physical form that he was in when he fought Python the first time. Which in my mind, for whatever the reason, makes him appear about 7-8 years old.

Most things end up happening the same but no one takes Apollo seriously because he looks like a second-grader. (However, Apollo doesn’t get beat up by Cade and Mikey, and Diana spends a few minutes cuddling Apollo because that’s HER baby brother and she misses him.) Plus, Cabin Seven has more than one moment where they are holding back hysterics and the urge to wrap their Father up in bubble wrap because Apollo is a tiny fragile mortal who supremely overestimates what he’s capable of doing in child-form (and don’t get him started on talking about their mortal parents, this situation is already too weird). Chiron is also despairing because he already dealt with young Apollo being weirdly paternal once before, and now he has to deal with it again (Dionysus is outwardly laughing but inwardly panicking because he’s seen far too many children die and he knows what Zeus is like when it comes to letting other gods try to help someone he’s decided to punish)

Meg is suffering from cognitive disonnance because she was half-joking when she claimed Apollo’s service and is now stuck with a child-like ex-god who has a bunch of children of his own.

Bonus: Zeus is questioning his life-choices because child!Apollo keeps getting himself almost adopted by random strangers for some reason (and a part of him is furious and intending to strike them all down because Apollo is HIS son, not THEIRS) and this was not the punishment the king of the gods intended for him (and all the other gods are quietly side-eyeing him nervously). Leto is furious because that’s her baby and she wants him safe and not to go fighting that evil snake again (at least he isn’t a four-day old baby this time) but Zeus refuses to listen to her.

just a random idea

Star Wars/Percy Jackson mashup: but all the Force Users are Greek demigods and/or legacies.

The PJO characters would only be the gods, Chiron, Titans, etc. none of the demigods/mortals would be in it.

the Jedi lineages (such as Mace, Depa, Kanan/Caleb, or Yoda, Dooku, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan) could be siblings, (like, I don’t know, Athena or Demeter for the Disaster Lineage) but this isn’t cut and dry, really would need to look at their personalities and which god or goddess they would fit with.

Except for Anakin, who is somehow the son of the primordial Chaos (Also, Shmi is a daughter or legacy of Hephaestus) with power to match.

also. The Senators in Star Wars are Roman legacies/demigods.

random LOTR/Percy Jackson plot bunny

as the title says. Completely forgot about this one, so I think it’s high time I inflict it on everyone else lol

Middle-earth is the same place as the Earth in Percy Jackson. The Elves did leave for Valinor, but eventually came back after the Valar sensed Morgoth was stirring and humans and their self-made gods (who may or may not be descended of Ainur who followed Morgoth but weren’t imprisoned/became Balrogs) couldn’t sense it.

The elves have used their magics to disguise their elven features. One such Elf takes the name of “Sally Jackson” while doing some reconnience and meets one of the humans’ gods/off-shoot Ainiur.

Something, something possible asexual or osmosis(?) pregnancy happens in spite of Poseidon’s oath to not have any more kids.

Because of the Greek gods not having dna and their contribution to their child’s genetic makeup being molded by whatever species the other partner is, the resulting child, whose Father-name is Perseus (haven’t thought up a good Mother-name) is born fully Elven, just with sea-god abilities.

I honestly have no idea where this would go, and I don’t know that Percy would still be the child of the Great Prophecy, because a 16 year old Elf is still a little kid.

lost psych episode where they find the dead bodies of two middle aged men in some random ass motel, no easily discernible cause of death for either of them they're just laying there on the bed together. only one of them has any kind of ID and it's from fucking new jersey??? so with that and the rest of their room plus some statements from the motel workers shawn can only tell two things 1) these guys were definitely in a romantic relationship with each other and 2) they were some kind of road trip. neither of these things are helpful right now and nobody really suspects foul play but shawn has a weird feeling so they go to woody and he gives them some more info. they both have the same cause of death, morphine overdose, and the guy with the ID was actually suffering from late stage thymoma and was quite literally days away from dying of that, so he was most likely euthanized, but the other guy is weird. cause he wasn't suffering from any immediately life threatening diseases or anything. well, his liver had definitely taken a severe beating during his life, some form of addiction, and there was a significant amount of muscle removed from his leg at some point which would have made walking incredibly painful, but nothing immediate. so shawn goes back to them being a couple so like okay maybe the no-ID guy euthanized his partner and then killed himself? but that's so dramatic, nobody really thinks that kind of stuff happens in real life, and there's still something bothering shawn about this but they let it go. and then shawn remembers like five months ago hearing about this crazy doctor who had gone to jail for driving a car through his boss' house, was released for some reason, and then destroyed the plumbing in the hospital he worked at so he was going to go back to jail, but then died in a fire of some abandoned building. and when shawn looks up that story it's the dude without an ID which means this crazy ass man faked his death only to kill himself and his partner five months later — oh wait he would've gone to jail he wouldn't be with his partner when he died that's why he faked his death he wanted to be with his partner — so he makes some calls to the hospital this guy worked at and sure enough the administrator there tells him in an incredibly annoyed voice that yes James Wilson used to work here before he got cancer and his "best friend" died in a fire, yes he left town pretty much immediately after his "best friend's" funeral oh he's not actually dead? that is incredibly shocking thank you. shawn can't believe this guy is so calm about this because what the fuck. what the fuck was wrong with these two old men why did they decided to kill themselves here?? and the administrator is just like "well Santa Barbara is the murder capital of the US. they probably thought it'd be funny." and hangs up. credits roll.

I’m planning a Percy Jackson reincarnation fanfic and am thinking over options for plot points

[secretfandomrambles]

So I was reading a couple of fanfics, and now I want to (sometime in the future) write an age reversal-AU of Coco where Ernesto and Imelda were married, Hector was their 12 year old son, 7 years older than his sister Coco.

(There would be quite a bit of fudging the timeline here to make it work)

Ernesto killed Hector while they were traveling because the kid was a musical prodigy and Ernesto is a horrible person who couldn’t let his son outshine him (he covered it up by saying Hector ran away, and Imelda got so upset she banned mention of both of them).

Miguel is the 21 year old great-great grandson who uncovers this after getting cursed to the Land of the Dead and runs into this nearly-forgotten scrappy little boy who just wants to see his baby sister again and keeps running away from his father.

Apollo, Lord of Rats and the Wizard School

There’s this idea floating in my head…just a snippet, really. For one reason or another, Artemis, Apollo, a group of demigods, a satyr or three, and either Dionysus or another god or goddess (perhaps Hecate) have to go to Hogwarts for some reason (the details aren’t important at the moment). What is important, is that one of Apollo’s sacred animals is rats. And Hogwarts? is filled with rats.

Imagine, if you will, a roughly physically teenage Apollo walks into Hogwarts, and every rat, sensing him, starts pouring out of the woodwork (sometimes literally) screaming “Master” in Rat. Artemis was the only person expecting this and managed to get away in time. Everyone else gets to deal with a sea of rats seemingly attacking Apollo.

The Mini Apocalypse: Or how two over-dramatic twins break the internet

Lucifer TV prompt: set sometime after Cain/Marcus Pierce shows up, but before he starts a relationship with Chloe Decker

Michael shows up to fight after Lucifer regains his wings. The police department find out Lucifer was telling the truth all along as the twins are fighting, full-out Celestial smack-down Apocalypse style (as an aside, there are multiple mini earthquakes, random fires and a massive storm threatening to break out over LA after the brothers really start going at it). Somewhere between the twins trying to take each other’s head off and Michael sending Maze through a couple of walls, Lucifer discovers that Michael is mad at him, not out of jealousy or misplaced self-hate, but because Michael is deeply hurt that during Lucifer’s rebellion, Lucifer didn’t ask Michael to fight at his side.

Lucifer however always thought that Michael knew that Lucifer wanted them to fight together, but was refusing for whatever reason.

It ends when Cain of all people steps in between them and tells them to shut up, sit down and “for your Dad’s sake put the swords away before you poke someone’s eye out Michael!”

The precinct is in shambles and the humans are freaking out (luckily no one’s died, and miraculously no one’s seriously injured), unfortunately the mayor was holding a press conference in the station for a big case, so the whole fight was being broadcast live. Michael walks over, wings outstretched and smashes the camera with his bare hands, all while having an “apologizing for everything they’ve done to each other because of the miscommunication” crying fest with Lucifer over his shoulder.

Humanity freaks out while a sheepish Michael holes up with Lucifer in one of Lucifer’s properties outside of L.A. while the video of their fight is going viral. Neither brother wants to know how their Father is going to react with Michael accidentally revealing Divinity to the humans. But they know it isn’t going to be pretty…but hey, at least Lucifer offered to let Michael move in with him if he gets kicked out.

idea for the child Apollo au

I was reading a short trials of Apollo AU where Apollo gets turned into a child by Medea (and Jason survives!) and am now considering having Helios claiming/adopting Apollo as his child in the Apollo kiddified AU (I don’t know if Helios would survive or not. But I think it would really anger Zeus that the Titan of the Sun was trying to steal his kid (again))

[secretfandomrambles]

a small continuation of the Child Apollo au

just want to add to the Apollo kiddie-ified AU: Apollo is physically at the age a child starts losing their teeth. While knowing about this in theory (he’s a god of knowledge, youth and healing, of course he knows that children lose their teeth)…he is still pretty freaked out when he starts losing his teeth.

Zeus and the majority of the other gods did not know that humans lose their teeth. They are freaking out. Leto demands Zeus end Apollo’s punishment before he loses more body parts. Zeus wants to, but unfortunately as Apollo and Meg accepted destroying Python as their mission for Apollo regaining his divinity, Zeus can’t just return his son’s power before Python is dead.

the only ones not freaking out about this new development among the Council are Artemis, Athena and Dionysus. Artemis, because she is also a goddess of youth and has been around young girls for millennia, Athena because Apollo has subjected her to graphs about children’s development and teeth was included. And Dionysus, of course, was once Mortal himself and knows very well the pains of puberty and losing and growing teeth.

Why You Do Not Tell Apollo “Yo Mama” Jokes

Not sure where this would go in my various Trials of Apollo AU’s (and I still have not read the Trials of Apollo series, so there might be something incorrect).

But I am thinking that it would both be very in character (mythologically speaking) and also a reminder for the characters that “Lester” is still very much a god even with being rendered mortal, if, during his attempts at archery, Apollo overhears either Holly or Laurel make a “your mama joke,” about him.

He reacts without thinking, eyes flickering gold for just a second as he spins around and lets the arrow in his hands fly. It hits the mark, and the girl who dared to disrespect Leto in her son’s hearing falls to the ground with an arrow in her gut. Only spared because Apollon had enough presence of mind to remember that he is mortal, vulnerable. And while Artemis would agree that the girl’s words deserved punishment, Zeus likely would not, that Nike would take offense at him killing her daughter.

This prevents him from making a dangerous oath that he would almost immediately break (though he still makes the oath swearing off music). It gives him hope and the understanding that his powers are still there, lurking beneath the surface.

Meanwhile, Kayla Knowles is both impressed by the shot, horrified that the other girl got hurt. And also reminded that while he might appear to be a goof-ball most of the time, Apollo is extremely protective and takes slights to his mother and sister deadly seriously.

Another Trials of Apollo AU

Yes, yes I know I’ve got a myriad of aus floating around on here. But I’ve been thinking about Athena, Apollo and their relationship to Zeus. And that slid into the whole “prophecy of Zeus’s son overthrowing him,” au.

So…mythology (and even pjo canon) shows that gods don’t necessarily need to have an intimate relationship with each other or with mortals to have children. There also are differing myths regarding both Athena and Apollo’s births and if the other had already been born at the time.

With that being said. What if Apollo was secretly the son of Zeus and Metis? If Athena was born before Zeus got involved with Leto. If Metis managed to become pregnant with Zeus’s son while in his head, and when Zeus laid with Leto, Metis slipped her newly born son into Leto’s womb as she became pregnant with Artemis.

The reason why Apollo resembles Koios is due to the fact that a) Zeus and Leto are cousins, and b) all four of their parents are children of Gaia and Ouranous. Apollo knew the truth, but over the eons has buried his memory of his origins deep in the recesses of his mind. He chooses to claim the title of Artemis’s twin, rather than Athena’s younger brother, rightful claimant of Zeus’s kingship. And everything is fine. Until. Until Lester, and the trials.

See, when making a deity mortal, their mortal flesh can be changed drastically. But the things that cannot change between their true forms and their mortal forms are their eye color, and their facial features. And in this au, Lester heavily resembles Athena. His eyes burn blue with just the hints of gray around the pupil.

Athena is the first to realize something is off about Apollo’s mortal form. She manages to assure Zeus when he notices that it was simply the Fates making Apollo’s mortal form innocuous. Artemis is the second to truly realize something is up when she goes to heal Apollo, and feels no maternal bonds to Leto other than those which he had clearly built himself and her mother had eventually reciprocated. But a goddess’s bonds to her children originate from her, not the child. Diana knows something is very wrong. And then she finds the withered and dead husk of a maternal bond Apollo has to someone else near the sparking paternal bond. But whomever was the one the bond originated with has long since faded. Diana says nothing to Apollo or anyone else. When she returns to Olympus Athena meets her, and Artemis sees that like Apollo, Athena also has the withered /dead remains of a maternal bond sitting beside the electric living paternal bond all children of Zeus carry (whether they want to or not). Artemis is confused, but she still does not say anything. When Apollo reascends to Olympus, Athena is one of the first to greet him. In her stern and emotionless seeming mask, she gives him a firm nod, holding his gaze in hers. Which for Athena, is the equivalent of a bone-crushing hug.

Eventually, Artemis corners both Apollo and Athena about their dead maternal bonds and the truth comes out. There is drama, yes, anger, feelings of betrayal. But ultimately, the three of them band together along with Zeus’s other children, intent on either forcing Zeus to change or force him off his throne.

They refuse to let the death of Crest, Money Maker, Jason Grace and so many other demigods be in vain.
