FANFIC POLL TIME!
Descriptions (because i NEED to explain things haha-):
CHOOSE WISELY
Of Bridges Built & Burned: Based off this clowning between me and @moodyseal
BUCKLE UP THIS GETS WILD READ THE LINK ABOVE FOR A MORE DETAILED EXPLANATION
TD;LR- Commodus and Apollo get to both scream about their relationship (because it's usually only Commodus who does that), Commodus goes off to sulk/stew over it while Apollo completes his trials, then post-ToA they meet again and have a Much Needed Talk
...and *sobs* go separate ways... *ugly sobbing* DON'T MIND ME-
you know you love the ship when you write them breaking up in the most heart-wrenching scenario possible.
but shh...i have another idea to do with this but that's for another time😈
The Art of War: I've been DYING to do SOMETHING with Apollo (Favorite Son™) and Ares (Failure Son™) and I have 3 whole scenes in different points of time now!!!
First is when Apollo's young and new on Olympus. He's been shoved onto Ares for the time being because in Ancient Greece, boys were raised by their fathers and girls by their mothers, and when the father was unavailable, it was the eldest brother's job to watch his younger brothers.
Second scene is during/post Ares's kidnapping by the giants! Some Apollo angst, Zeus being the best dad ever (not), and Ares not having a good time.
Third and finally, is a little conversation post-ToA between them :3
The Sun's Rise: At last! Out of the vault! The moment we've been waiting for! Starring our boy Apollo, Prometheus being Prometheus, and a guest star you all should know by now :3
Hyapollo Multific: YEAH YOU HEARD IT. FIVE CHAPTERS OF HYAPOLLO, WITH SIDE DISHES OF APRICITY, HYARICITY, AND ONE-SIDED ZEPHYRUS PINNING FOR HYAPOLLO. COME GET UR FLUFF-DRAMA-ANGST FEST
@hyac1nthus i know you'd want to see this >:3
Koios ToA: What the hell was Koios doing during ToA? This fic will play like a snapshot of what our favorite titan was up too. Questions will be asked, answers will be found, and oh boy Phoebe and Koios are gonna have a bit o' long-overdue marital strife.
Drunk Twins: literally what is says on the label. the twins get drunk and the Hunt has to call in the mama wolf for backup lmao
The Conspiracy of Rachel Elizabeth Dare: based on this post by @hogoflight and expanded upon here by me! Rachel Dare is a conundrum to her friends, and they put their detective hats on to solve the case!
ToA BuzzFeed Unsolved: The Queer Capers of Lester Papadopoulos and Meg McCaffrey: BUZZFEED TIME! We need ToA buzzfeed fics so here I am making one :3
Apollo V Orion fight (with a side-dish of Jupiter & Commodus): Exactly what it says on the label lmao I had three oneshot ideas and then I went "COMBINE THEM!!" so here is a oneshot with three different things in it making a cohesive story :3
A Radiant Light: Did I make up an entire backstory for one background character? Yes. Is that character Phoebe the Hunter? Also yes.
how to get your daughter to divorce your brother and marry your nephew: a guide by demeter: funny fic about Demeter trying to get Meg, Nico, and Will to help her convince Persephone to divorce Hades and marry Apollo. Based off one of my headcanons haha
👀 lookin' forward to a lot of these, hehe!

Current W.I.Ps
Here's some of the W.I.Ps I'm working on with summaries, extracts and little notes i have written for myself. And as I'm about to post this i am realizing that most of these are about Dionysus lmao.
Please tell me what you all think about these w.i.ps tho. I am open to constructive criticism.
----------------------------
DEAD MOM(S) DEAD MOMMM(S) I NEEED A BIT OF HELP HEREEE
Summary: Leo and Connor Stoll bond over dead moms
Notes to myself:
[Con's mom died when he was a baby, and he seems nonchalant about it]
[the convo gets started when Con is looking for Issac Schuster. Leo doesn't know which brother of his that is and says that he's not used to having a big family and that it used to be just him and his mom. Con relates to that.]
Small extract: (this one only has a few words cus i got writers block)
The sun dipped over the forest of Camp Half-Blood. Casting a
-------------------------------
2. ..What?....You d-dont remember what she looks like?
Summary: Libary by Jack Stauber but as Dionysus and Ino
Notes to myself:
[Traumatize this man]
[Lines so i dont have to watch it over and over again]
[Behind curtain number one is... *Dionysus mouths Auntie* correct!]
[(have a pause before this) Wait]
[Y-You don't remember what she looks like!]
[Hey! Just make something up.]
[Oh! What you make is gonna end.]
[And get old too!]
Small Extract:
I never liked dreams much.
When I was a demigod, they usually meant more trauma to bottle up and ignore (Yes, Chiron, I know that's not healthy, but I don't care).
When I became a god, the dreams...didn't disappear for some reason but got less frequent. Maybe because I learned to ignore my past more effectively, or maybe Epiales favours me because I gave him that bottle of wine for his birthday.
Tonight, it seems I have lost his favour.

3. Wine child
Summary: After a fight with Hebe, Dionysus ends up in his 8 year old self and the camp have to take care of him.
Notes to myself:
[First person switching POV?]
[Dio shows up in a stained and torn girl's ancient Greek outfit]
[Following Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 3. 28: Hera inflicted madness on them, so that Athamas stalked and slew his elder son Learkhos on the conviction that he was a deer, while Ino threw Melikertes into a basin of boiling water, and then, carrying both the basin and the corpse of the boy, she jumped to the bottom of the sea. Zeus changing Dionysos into a baby goat to save him from Hera]
[ "But I do not ask for the heavenly fire of your lightning, nor the cloud, nor the thunderclap… The sparks of the thunderbolt that killed my mother are no pleasure to me" —Dionysus, Nonnus Dionyusica 10]
Small extract: (since i have already posted a part of the first chapter ill put the second w.i.p chp)
Percy: Camp Half-Blood becomes a divine daycare.
"Why is everyone at the archery range?" Annabeth asked, deflecting Riptide.
I grinned, "Nice try, Wise girl. I won't fall for that trick."
She frowned. "No, Seaweed Brain, I'm serious! Something's going on."
I decided to risk it and take a look...and she knocked Riptide out of my hands and threw me onto my butt.
Yeah, I should have expected that. Classic Annabeth move.
But she was telling the truth though. Something was going on. There was a crowd gathered around the archery range.
"Maybe someone got claimed?" I said hopefully. That was the best-case scenario. A new camper gets claimed by their godly parent and moves out of the Hermes cabin. Worst-case scenario: it's another prophecy.
"A normal claiming wouldn't cause that big of a crowd, though." She replied, sheathing her sword.
--------------------------------
4. The horse and the infant but with Leo
Summary:
Zeus comes to Prometheus with an offer.
An offer that if he does something for the gods, he is free.
The thing is to kill an infant, Leo.
Notes to myself:
[Hypatos—Supreme, Most High]
[Use this dialogue later: "You, Klytotekhnês, couldn't defeat a titan." Prometheus said.
"I know," "but I have to try."]
[Palamnaeus-(Punisher) of Murderers]
Small extract:
The cloud gatherer approaches.
Prometheus looked up from his rock to the approaching gods. His face—painfully—curved into a smile that held no warmth. A visit from him meant a break from those winged beasts. And a break from those winged beasts meant a reprieve from suffering.
"Hypatos Zeus, Aidoneus, what do I owe the pleasure?" he said.
Zeus did not return the smile.
Sometimes Prometheus, in his endless free time, ponders if Hagno taught that boy manners.
Ever the social butterfly, Aidoneus — or Hades, as he prefers — turned invisible and left without so much of a greeting.

According to Microsoft Word the Prometheus and Leo shot takes seven minutes to read and 11 minutes to read out loud.
It is not even finished yet.
I read through it, highlighting bits i wanted to change because its been a long time since i opened the thing and....
All that yellow is the stuff i need to edit....
Its not even finished
---
Here's the parts I do like tho:
Zeus did not return the smile. Sometimes Prometheus, in his endless free time, ponders if Hagno taught that boy manners.
Ever the social butterfly, Aidoneus — or Hades, as he prefers, turned invisible and left without so much of a greeting.
He's been told before that he's too soft on humanity. The other gods mocked him for sacrificing everything to gift them with flame. But the mortals are as much as his children as Aidôs and Deucalion are. Wouldn't you feel the same kind of affection for your own creation?
This entire interaction:
"Apollo was given a prophecy years ago—"
"—Is he okay? Was he given nectar afterwards?" Prometheus asked innocently, "I know just how tiresome visions and prophecies are on the immortal body. He's a young boy, so—"
"He's fine!" Zeus snapped. It seemed that Prometheus was burning through his patience quickly.
"Good."
Prometheus smiled innocently, annoying Zeus by taking an interest in things he deemed 'unimportant' (Prometheus disagreed with that sentiment: nothing or nobody is truly unimportant) or feigned ignorance were the few harmless ways he got small revenge. He watched Zeus scowl with disguised amusement. It reminded him of a spoiled child being told no.
This part I have to give context on why I like it is because throughout the shot Prometheus refers to Zeus as many epithets but despite all the sass this is the first time it's more of a negative epithet (of war/warlike) and from then on it's usually son of Kronos:
'To kill a foe that won't run. One unlike any other you've faced before.' Zeus Areius had said.
This part I love even tho it's not even part of the fic yet, just a scrap I have set aside for until the part it belongs to is written:
You, Klytotekhnês, couldn't defeat a titan." Prometheus said.
"I know," "but I have to try."

What do you think about children of dolos? I never hear anything ab them,canon or fanon
Dolos/Dolus, the personified spirit (daimon) of trickery, cunning deception, craftiness, treachery, and guile.
Well I can see why people don't really talk about any children of Dolos, or Dolos either. This is because Dolos is a personified spirit and is very abstract in terms of mythology, and the only substantial specific story about him is from Aesop's Fable (fun fact: it's actually a latin work!)
As a general concept, not even connecting it to the PJO universe, so trying to create a demigod from Dolos is like grasping at straws without no way of knowing how to build a house with it, or should you even build it, and basically all we have to go with is the concept of Dolos, the fact Dolos is born as one of the many personifications of the world, and that one story in Aesop Fables.
If I were writing for a child of Dolos, not adding the restrictions and guidelines for the PJO verse for demigods:
Since Dolos is Guile; deceitful cunning and trickery, I'd imagine you can make the demigod something like a child of Hermes but that leans heavily towards trickery, thievery, and craftiness.
They can lie, charm their way in and out with the silver like tongue, are smart and quick, while also being resourceful. Unlike Hermes demigods, who are basically the Jack of all trades, the mentioned traits are their only traits as a Dolos demigod and are more concentrated. Now whether those traits lean more negatively or a more positive way depends because the demigod children are mortal and their morals are gray, but also hard to say since Dolos is a daimon.
They can copy others and things like Dolos did with Prometheus' work with Veritas (Truth) and Dolos' attempt to create an identical one but came out with Mendacium (Pseudologos, Falsehoods).
However, although the children of Dolos are nimble with their fingers and their eyes accurate, they cannot copy everything identically and there is always a flaw in it, thus being a counterfeit compared to the original source.
But you know the words, "Fake it till you make it"
A/N: You guys are really coming out of the wood works asking me demigod questions and my own two cents about it. You've found a loophole and cheated the system. I can only imagine when S2 of the PJO TV Show is on air and then you guys are going to go feral.
