[thaliasthunder]

i was rereading some parts of toa and came up to leo calling lester "lesteropoulos" and god it sent me to the fucking stratosphere it sounds like a fucking disease

[literallyjusttoa]

Remember my sad quote posts? Yeah, it’s that again, but this time it’s quotes about Apollo and Meg’s relationship bc they care for each other so much and they’re mirrors of each other in so many ways and it makes me sob.

[heresronnie21]

Meg McCaffrey found out that a human's bite force is enough to chomp off a finger and she's been waiting for an excuse to try it ever since

Trials of Apollo Fics I Recommend

https://archiveofourown.org/works/23618923/chapters/56682322

Fall of the Sun by Curioser

Five times Apollo fainted and one time he didn’t

The fic did a really good job of getting into Megs head and portraying her. An excellent exploration of her relationship with Apollo as well.

See You Yesterday by JustMcShane

Meg,” Apollo says, instead of doing something undignified like dissolving into a puddle of tears on the floor, and then he says it again for emphasis. “Meg. What – you – this is my palace.”

“Duh,” comes the typically eloquent response. “Where else was I gonna find you?”

or,

Something’s wrong with Meg. Something’s up with Apollo. Neither of them are talking about their respective things. Things will most definitely get worse before they get better.

This is an incredibly well written mystery and I do not want to spoil anything by elaborating on that.

Apollo and the Aftermath by Ceruleancats

The Roman emperors and Python have been defeated, the oracles reclaimed, and Apollo restored to godhood. He's having somewhat of a hard time adjusting to being back among the gods, which is understandable after his six-month grow-a-conscience speedrun. But something else is rotten in the state of Olympus, and before it can really feel like home, it's going to require some serious renovation.

One of the best fics exploring the consequences of Apollo’s character development and what that means for Olympus.

Bad Sons by thesungod

Hades turned to the demigods that were still kneeling.

“I need to speak with Will Solace,” he said to the shocked room, in the tone he could have used to say “I came to ask if one of you could lend me a pen.”

“Alone,” the god added after a moment, staring right at Nico

Or, Will and Nico go on the stupidest quest ever. And it’s all Apollo’s fault.

Another excellent mystery fic with plenty of twists and turns. Also there is Solangelo and an amazing quest mate/ third wheel accompanying them.

I give a tour/ Nico questions everything/ Nothing to see here/ by Imnobody122

After Thalia crashed the sun chariot Apollo stuck around a bit longer to visit his kids and gives Nico an excellent tour.

Might take place during a Titian’s Curse but every bit of Apollo’s narration in this show that they have read ToA. It is just Apollo visiting his kids and Nico not being traumatized.

A day of Two Halves by TsarinaTorment

You know those days where everything goes wrong no matter what you do? Today was one such day. To begin with, anyway.

One of my favorites of the author’s one shots, though all of them are good and you should go read them. It is just really good Apollo and his children fluff.

Through the Son’s Eyes by Hollowsun

A journey through Asclepius' relationship with his dad, from Ancient Greece to modern day.

Exactly what it says on the tin.

https://archiveofourown.org/series/179908

ToA Analysis

A series of essays on the Trials of Apollo. Apollo is a very complex character and unreliable narrator and these essays are excellent at diving into his character and the themes of the novels.

The Tails of A Pollo by ceruleancats

The hunt for the Teumessian Fox hasn't been going great, but thanks to a new prophecy (of sorts), it looks like Apollo may be key to aiding the Hunters of Artemis in the beast's defeat. In like, a super badass, heroic way, of course. Actually, on second thought, maybe just imagine the monster's defeat in your head. You definitely don't have to read this. I'm certain you get the gist of it already. You can simply exit this tab real quick, no biggie. Have a lovely day!

If a fic has a pun in the title there is no way it can be bad. The author does a good job at capturing Apollo’s voice as well as his relationship with Artemis. Honestly this author is just really great and you should read all of their fics.

The Stolen God by TsarinaTorment

Python is defeated. The prophecies are restored, and Nero has fallen. Apollo has not been seen since. His trials are over; why isn’t he back on Olympus?

There are a surprisingly amount of excellent quests and mysteries in this fandom. It is very well plotted with a completely accurate and rhyming prophecy. Also a love their characterization of Will.

Makeshift

Whumptober Day 15: Makeshift bandages

-

“Meg, hold still.” Apollo insists as he takes her sword from her hand. She has half a mind to snatch it back and snap it into a ring, but the anger that graces her from the separation with her weapon dissolves as the pain races through her shin with enough intensity that she almost throws up.

She doesn't know what to do, so she settles for gripping the handle of her remaining sword hard enough that she can feel the groves of the handle etch into her palm. Apollo wields the other clumsily, his hands unsteady, but she watches as he rumages in his bag for something- a spare shirt? - and starts cutting into long, winding pieces.

Meg wants to call him an idiot, tell him to stop. She doesn't know how cutting up one of his few shirts is going to help her, and for a moment, she thinks he's taking out his anger on it instead of helping her, but the movements are too precise, the action too careful for him to he throwing a tantrum. She knows him. He's doing something.

It's only when he drops the sword to the floor with a clatter that scatters across the pavement and echoes noises into the monster dust stained grass, that she realises that he's trying to make a makeshift bandage.

"Apollo." Meg protests, using her free hand to try and shove him away. "I can take ambrosia. I don't need a bandage."

"Meg," his voice is calm and collected, completely unlike the overdramatic Lester she's come to know. Stupid god of healing doing his job and not giving her something that immediately heals. "You took a lot of ambrosia before we got attacked. I don't want to risk you burning up."

It crosses her mind that she should probably listen to him - if anyone would actually know what the correct dosage of ambrosia was, it would very obviously be Apollo, but she mumbles out protests and exclamations anyway. She doesn't want him to bandage her, she's not stupid, she's not a baby. But the way he's bandaging her is careful and considerate and just about everything she wants as the makeshift bandages weave tightly and cause her to clamp her mouth shut as she tries to ignore how hard it presses into her wound.

Meg sort of wants him to stop, and her mouth half opens to demand him to fuck off, but then he tugs particuarly hard and she lets out a strangled whimper that cuts off any thought left in her mind.

Apollo pauses and looks at her carefully. She glares back.

"Do you want to hold my arm?" He questions tentatively, offering his left arm out to her. His hands stay around the bandages and she almost screams at him to leave her leg alone… but she can't, because then she'll bleed out. "You can hold my arm as tight as you want as long as you don't yank it-"

"Nope." She grits her teeth.

"Are you-"

She grabs onto his arm immediately. Both hands. She doesn't remember dropping her sword, but that doesn't matter.

Apollo starts working on her shin again immediately. The pain is still there, in fact, its arguably worse, but somehow holding his arm made it feel better-

She plonks her head roughly against his shoulder. Her glasses press into her face at an awkward angle, and he hands only dig deeper and deeper into his arm as the pain grows stronger and stronger-

It stops intensifying, and she can distantly hear Apollo shake her shoulder and say something about painkillers and moving and getting somewhere warm, but Meg doesn't want to move. Doesn't want to really do anything right now but sit here.

She feels his arm, the one that she isn't clutching within an inch of her life awkwardly wrap around her.

"You're stupid." Meg sniffs, and then returns the hug back hard enough that she probably breaks Apollo's ribs.

[nemovanilla]

Anyone else ever wonder what Apollo is gonna do when Meg dies

[seavoice]

v. what light tastes like

“Very well.” Zeus rises to his feet. It's like a switch is flipped; the Throne Room holds its breath. Zeus raises his hand and the Master Bolt materializes into it, crackling with pure power. Involuntarily, Apollo has to take a step back. “That closes all pending matters. I shall bestow your immortality.”

Chapter five.

i will be crying in the corner for if anybody needs me

[literallyjusttoa]

Meg and Apollo are the type of siblings to say the most out of pocket threats to each other over the smallest things. They’d say things like:

Apollo: Hey, you need some help reaching those plates short stack?

Meg: I hope your spine snaps in half.

And:

Meg: Holy shit, ten bucks on the next guy we fight being another one of Apollo’s exes!

Apollo: You’re going to be set on fire tomorrow at 8:35 AM EST.

And everyone around them just watches in horror.

[heresronnie21]

The hidden oracle but make it a cutesy animated series. You can probably tell I started giving up towards the end I’m not good at clean shapey art but ignore it pretend you do not see.

Fic I'm not writing

The fic where Apollo actually gets Meg her cows.

Ok so when Apollo crashes down to earth he can't find Percy. So Apollo and Meg crash at a cafe and get talking about what Apollo being her master means and what his tasks might be. Apollo's previous tasks are building a wall and herding cows.

Meg dosen't need a wall but she is kinda interested in cows and farming. Apollo immediately laches onto this and starts planning their new farm. He isn't a good cattle theif but he does have a herd of red cattle in Texas.

Instead of heading to camp Apollo and Meg start their journey to Triple G Ranch.

Meg and Apollo start to bond. She is more and more reluctant to betray Apollo. Running off and starting a farm far away from the Beast is becoming an excellent idea. Eventually she confides in Apollo about her father's land in California and that is added to Apollo's farming plans.

They reach the ranch. Unfortunatly Triple G Ranch deals with the triumvirate so they run into some of Megs old enemies and Apollo's new ones. Shit goes down. They leave the ranch with the twenty best cows, knowledge of who is after Apollo, and some life lessons.

From here they continue their long winding journey to California. Running from monsters, destroying the dark oracle, and finding enough food for their bovine companions.

Eventually they do make it to California. After a lot of struggle and death it is made a safe place for their cows to graze.

Now Apollo and Meg have a choice. They can stay here is relative safety or they can go back and defeat their beasts.
