#son of demeter

[cece693]

Hiiii

I recently saw your fanfic of Percy with son of Demeter reader and I was wondering if you could write a fanfic of like how the 2 met/how they started dating

Daisy (Percy Jackson x Son of Demeter)

Wow, I wasn't expecting so much love for my son of Demeter headcannon/fanfic. TBH, I haven't thought much about how they would meet and the lead-up to their relationship, however, I think it came out nice. Hope you enjoy it!

Percy had always heard whispers of the son of Demeter. However, your paths wouldn’t cross until Grover began his search for Pan, the lost god of the wild. Since you were the son of the goddess of harvest—and, to some extent, wilderness and wildlife—you were quickly asked to join their quest.

When you first met Percy, it was clear that you two didn’t really hit it off. What did you even have in common, aside from your mutual friendship with Grover? Your powers weren't exactly on the same field, in fact, they contradicted on another.

How would one grow plants with sea water anyway? Your initial encounters were awkward, filled with hesitant exchanges and misunderstandings.

These differences led to quite a few conflicts between the two of you—not only were your powers different, but your personalities clashed as well. Percy, always ready for a fight, relied on his sword and his natural inclination to dive headfirst into danger.

You, on the other hand, preferred a more strategic approach. Your method was to analyze situations carefully, using your knowledge of nature and the environment to find solutions. While you knew how to wield a weapon, you often sought to avoid confrontation, believing that there was always a way to resolve problems without resorting to violence.

You called him reckless plenty of times, while he hinted your 'hesitation' as a drawback for the quest.

The growing tension between you didn’t go unnoticed by Grover, who often tried to mediate, cracking jokes and redirecting the conversation whenever you two began to butt heads.

It was during one of those moments—when Percy had charged ahead to fight a monster, leaving you to cover his back—that you began to see glimpses of the strengths each of you brought to the quest.

This change in mindset brought you two closer, evolving your relationship from mere acquaintances to something resembling friendship. Then that friendship soon becomes you two being best friends as the quest comes to a close.

This is where Percy fucks up....

Because as he watches you tend to one of the many plants in Camp Half-Blood, kneeling in the dirt with the sun shinning brightly above you, Percy suddenly finds you beautiful.

The way your e/c eyes sparkle with tenderness as you speak to the plants as if they were old friends, coaxing blooms to open with your gentle words. The sight was captivating; the way you interacted with nature stirred something deep within him.

Percy couldn’t help but admire the serenity you exuded, and for the first time, he began to realize that his feelings for you had shifted beyond friendship.

Of course, after this realization, he runs off in search of Grover, almost tripping over his own feet.

“Grover!” Percy exclaimed, eyes wide with urgency. “I think I have a problem.” Taking a deep breath, the words tumbled out in a rush. “It’s about [Your Name]. I mean, I knew we were getting closer, but watching him with the plants...It’s like he’s in his element, and I can’t stop thinking about how incredible he is.” His heart raced as he spoke, the realization hitting him like a wave crashing against the shore. “I think I like him—like, really like him. More than just friends.”

Grover’s eyes lit up, a mischievous smile spreading across his face. “Finally! I was wondering when you’d catch on. You should tell him!”

“But what if it ruins our friendship?”

“You won’t know unless you try,” Grover urged, his tone encouraging. “And even if he doesn't reciprocate your feelings, he's your friend. He'll understand."

Of course, Percy didn’t follow through with Grover’s advice right away. Instead, he decided to wait, hoping for any sign of interest from you before making his crush known.

Then, one sunny afternoon, he stumbled upon you laughing and hanging out with a son of Apollo. You were seated on the grass, surrounded by blooming flowers, the sunlight enhancing your already radiant presence. The boy’s charming demeanor and easy laughter seemed to draw you in, and Percy’s heart sank as he watched from a distance.

It was painfully clear in that moment—this boy was everything you deserved. After all, who wouldn’t want to be with the child of Apollo? He was the perfect match for a son of Demeter: sun, plants, growth, and all things flourishing.

Percy’s chest tightened as jealousy surged through him, mixing with a sense of hopelessness. He concluded that it was no use; you clearly had found someone else, someone who could nurture the garden of your heart better than he ever could.

With that thought, he began to create distance between you two, forcing himself to suppress his feelings to maintain the friendship he had grown to cherish. He convinced himself that being your friend was better than risking everything for something that would never be.

Unbeknownst to him, you noticed the sudden coldness in Percy’s demeanor. At first, you thought it was just a phase—perhaps he was dealing with something personal—but as days turned into weeks, his absence felt more like a gaping hole in your life.

As you tried to engage him, Percy would respond with short answers, avoiding any conversation that might bring you closer. You couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off, and worry gnawed at you. Did you say something wrong? Was he upset about something that you did?

Every time you spotted him with his friends, laughing and joking, a pang of disappointment shot through you. Why was he pushing you away? You longed to reach out, to bridge the distance he had created, but you didn’t know how to break through the wall he had built around himself.

The perfect opportunity presented itself when you found the son of Poseidon sitting by the lake, tossing pebbles mindlesly across the water.

“Percy,” you called out, taking a deep breath as you approached him. He looked up, surprise flashing across his face. “Can we talk?”

He nodded, but the unease lingered in the air as you sat down beside him. “What’s going on with you? You’ve been distant lately, and I can’t help but feel like I’ve done something to upset you.”

Percy hesitated, his expression conflicted as he searched for the right words. Finally, he sighed, his shoulders slumping. “It’s not you. It’s me,” he admitted, running a hand through his hair. “I thought you and the son of Apollo were…I don’t know, more than friends. And it just hurt to see you so happy with him. I didn’t want to get in the way.”

Your heart raced as you processed his words. “Percy, we’re just friends! I never dated him,” You took a breath and decided to be honest. “I like you, Percy. I’ve liked you for a while now. I didn’t know how to say it, and then seeing you pull away…it hurt.”

His eyes widened in surprise, a spark of hope igniting in his expression. “You like me?” he asked, disbelief mingling with excitement.

You nodded, a shy smile breaking through your earlier frustration. “Yeah, I do. I thought maybe you didn’t feel the same way, so I didn’t say anything.”

Relief washed over him, and a grin spread across his face. “I thought I was the only one. I’ve been such an idiot for not saying anything sooner.” With a mix of laughter and newfound courage, Percy reached for your hand, intertwining your fingers. “So, would you like to go on a date with me?”

“I’d love to.”

Thalia watched how Nico got his whole divine family,including the step-mom that should hate him (like Hera's treatment towards her because of the cheating) and grand-mother (like what???),to the battle ; and then got to know how Percy convinced Poseidon to help the Gods fighting Typhoon,even with his kindgom and people in danger,knowing full well that Zeus will never do that for her.

Percy and Nico got their dads (and family) to fight for and with them,because even if they are sometimes shitty,they still care enough for their children to actually help them and being involved in their life. The only thing Zeus did for her was turning her into a tree (not even his own tree,because Pines are Poesidon's and not Zeus's) for a couple of years,to prevent her from dying.

Even her brother had the opportunity to fight with their dad in BoO,something that Thalia herself never had. And she probably feels bitter about it,because Poseidon and Hades care for their children,even after the oath was broken,but her dad was never there for her and barely did anything to help her.

(OG Little Three trio angst,yes-)

(not sure if you do pjo au, but it couldnt hurt to ask!)

son of demeter!oscar piastri x son of dionysus!reader, leads to reader constantly giving oscar all sorts of gifts and hitting on him whilst oscar's oblivious

yes i do pjo!au!! i love pjo lowkey wanna write for pjo

you're constantly flirting with oscar

giving him the best of your party boy tricks

he is frustratingly oblivious

like you sit next to him in the strawberry fields for hours just to make his patch grow quicker/better because it makes him happy

telling him how pretty he looks whenever he's rambling to you about plants

sneaking in his favourite drinks

dealing with mr d constantly complaining about how useless you are at flirting

"how can you possibly be my son if you can't even get one guy to date you-"

"dad?!"

it takes ages (and a very exasperated lecture from his sisters) for oscar to realize that you're flirting with him

when he finally does, he hangs mistletoe on the porch in front of your cabin and gets your brother to send you out

oscar is blushing so much and he's so shy when you notice the mistletoe

and you're losing your shit

because fucking finally

he's noticed that you're in love with him!! finally!!

oscar starts to try to explain the mistletoe

but you just grab him and kiss him until you're both about to pass out

oscar still tries to lean into you when you pull back

it's a very cute moment

with both of you smiling and laughing and constantly kissing every few seconds

... and then your dad pops up to ask if this means you'll stop ranting about how much you like oscar

"DAD!"

Doomed mothers in greek mythology they could never make me hate you (Demeter, Thetis, Clytemnestra, Penelope, Andromache, etc)

litpollo is so great cause its showing both their character developments <3 like, lester as apollo wouldve stricken lityerses or like exploded him guts inside out by that point. lityerses under the instruction of midas wouldve killed them all and not have shown an inch of remorse. but lester instead forgives lit which allows lit to grow and become a better Stable person and they become better people together

Demeter: *prophesies to Apollo and Persephone* You two will get married and shall bear children with burning fire on their faces.

Apollo & Persephone:

Persephone: *to Apollo* You'll be the one birthing those kids because I ain't becoming second Izanami.

[lordofthesilverbow]

Hermes and Persephone are besties, and no one can convince me otherwise. I will die on this hill.

When Persephone is in the Underworld, Hermes delivers messages between her and Demeter and keeps Persephone updated on all the Olympian gossip. Especially in the beginning of her captivity marriage, he was a big support to her, helping her still feel connected to her mother and her home.

When Persephone is on Olympus, any time not spent with Demeter is usually spent with Hermes. They walk through the gardens together, sharing stories and laughing. Persephone is one of the few who can keep Hermes in check while still remaining patient and tolerating all of his pranks and awful jokes.

Hermes is one of the only constants in Persephone’s life with her dual nature. Whether she’s with her husband or with her mother, he’s always there to lend a listening ear and make her smile.

Simp for Metis at this stage

I think a bit too much about Hesiod's Theogony.

According to this, Zeus had 7 wives: Metis, Themis, Eurynome, Demeter, Mnemosyne, Leto and Hera

Metis is the only wife Zeus was forced to get rid of because she was supposed to give birth to a son who would defeat him. Plus "Zeus placed her down into his belly, so the goddess might advise him on good and evil." kind of changes it a bit, like she was some kind of voice in his head? Interesting.

Themis was basically… a good replacement for Metis. She advised him in the same way and was justice. Then we have Eurynome, who is like Metis but in appearance, a beautiful nymph.

Demeter, who opposed him but was powerful. Recognizing her as a wife is interesting, but it kind of shows us the great sense from Hestia taking a vow of virginity was. Then Mnemosyne was the personification of memories… do I need to add anything when he still couldn't get his first wife out of his head?

The case of Leto and Hera is very interesting because we all know that one was supposed to pursue the other. Hera was jealous of her husband, so it means that Leto got pregnant after the divorce or was replaced when her pregnancy was not yet known.

And now I see one thing (unless I missed something) but if we assume that Leto was actually divorced, maybe because she couldn't / not wanted to get pregnant, which turned out to be only when Hera was already ruling… it turns out that Hera is the only one who gave Zeus a son from a legitimate bed. Each of the other ladies here gave birth to only daughters, and Apollo was born out of wedlock because Hera was jealous of her husband then. Does this mean that Zeus wanted a son and he was only bargaining chip to continue the marriage?

This is already an obsession, but everything revolves around Metis for me. Zeus tried to replace her mind, her looks, her strength and finally that she would give him a son but this time a safe one. Right after that Athena is born so Zeus no longer has a part of Metis to follow in love life, he has it in his daughter.

Demeter: that’s a good horsey!

Demeter: I say as I pet on horsey.

Arion: ….No. I’m evil horsey!

Demeter: Said evil horsey.

Arion: ….. *Tackles Demeter* PLUG!!!

Honestly I understand perfectly why people are so pissed off that Ovid gave Medusa a different background story.

Imagine all the "MILF Medusa", "Monsterfucker Poseidon" and "Medusa tops Poseidon." potential that got lost.

[sarafangirlart]

Do you think that Demeter was Rhea/Cybele's favourite daughter/child because of their similarities? Do you think Rhea sees herself in her daughter perhaps?

Hera I don't think gets along with Rhea really, I don't think she approves of her mother's crazy wine frenzied wilderness cult where men castrate themselves

Hera and Rhea definitely don’t get along but I’m not sure who Rhea’s favorite would be bc it could be argued either way. It could be Hestia bc she was the first, or Demeter bc of their similarities.

Nico wasn't homeless

It's no secret that Percy is an unreliable narrator: the guy downplay almost everything he does in his own PoVs because of a self-esteem issue and inferiority complex ; while other characters see him for what he really is: a force of nature. The contrast of Percy's view of himself vs someone else's view of Percy is something talked enough in the fandom.

But an unreliable narrator is also someone that doesn't have the full picture of what's happening,and often gets to conclusions about something that's completely wrong.

Like in BotL. At the start Percy thought that Nico wanted to sacrifice his soul for Bianca's,but Nico never thought of it. He was angry at Percy and at the time hated him,but never wanted to trade his soul for his sisters's.

Another one is Percy's thinking process when it cames to where Nico was. He thought he lived on the streets,alone and without much food,during all of the time he was trying to find him after he escaped from Camp. But that's impossible. Minos very presence is a contradiction to it. (And his sword too,since he can't just find a stygian sword like nothing,someone had to give it to him.)

Minos,at the time was still one of the judges of the Underworld,he couldn't possible leave his position because he wanted to hunts down Daedalus ; and Nico didn't know what his powers could do yet,so he couldn't have summoned him. And even if he did,I don't think the Judges of the Underworld can ever be summoned,their position is eternal (untill Hades and Zeus say so) and they need to stay there. Especially with Hades's constantly complaining about how much dead people and souls there are.

Also,you need to remember that Nico spent most of the time in the Labyrinth,he was there even before Percy was. His apparences are a result of staying too much in the Labyrinth,added with his deteriorating emotional and mental stabiling because of what happened to Bianca. So he technically never lived on the streets. And the Labyrinth has entrances and paths that leads to the Underworld. If,after running away from camp,he used the entrance that Percy and Annabeth found later on,then he could have accidentally found his way to the Underworld. We can also take in consideration his shadow-travel ability,but even then,he still would end up in the Underworld: Bianca's soul would have unconsciously attracted him,since she was being judged at the time.

All of this to say that Nico and Minos met in the Underworld and that Nico was never on the streets.

Minos saw in him the opportunity to hunts down Daedalus while making sure that he could get away with it,since no one could go against an order from the son of their boss (that's also why I harp so much on his role as prince,it's basically canon if we read between the line. And no,I'm not delulu). Nico at the time was also emotionally devasted,so he took the gamble and went on with the plan. And after he found out what Minos was really doing behind his back,Nico made sure to ruin everything he still had,while also taking his role away to piss him off.

But since Percy didn't had the full picture,he never knew,and I'm not blaming him for this,since it's not the characters's fault. The fandom never thought about it too,since we prefer the "poor little boy all alone in a world he doesn't understand,without a family to take care of him." narration.

Us as readers never knew what fully happened to Nico during the time between TTC and BotL,so I can't say if he stayed all the time in the Labyrinth,after accepting Minos proposal,or also stayed in the Underworld. We also never got to know if he and Hades meet even before the last book,where got their family dynamic (fuck you for that Hades,you fucked up big time with him) but they probably did,and we also have hits of that when the OG big 3 kids trio needs to take back Hades's sword before Kronos's army get it.

Before TLO we had the Sword of Hades quest,where we can see Nico and Persephone arguing about some family's argument they had,and how because of that she turned him into a flower. And even tho Persephone doesn't like him,this imply that she and Nico are familiar on a way that's more of an "you are the bastard son my husband had with a mortal,I don't like you." (like Hera with Thalia) superficial thing,and that Nico actually lives or stay most of the time in the palace post BotL.

Which the fandom completely ignore or turn into headcanons,when we have enough hits in the canon narrative about it. No,Nico never lived on the streets,he was either in the Underworld or in the Labyrinth,after all researching Daedalus takes more than a couple of days. And after that,he lived in the Underworld enough to have Persephone address their conflicts as "family arguments" even tho they weren't close at the time. TLO literally has Demeter criticizing Hades for Nico's diet because "He needs more cereal to stay healthy,do something about it". So she also is familiar with him,even tho she should despite him because he was the result of Hades cheating on her daughter,and we all know how Demeter is about Persephone. But that's not the case,they don't like him that much but they also don't want him death.

Hades had all the cards on the table to have,with time,a good family bond with both Nico and Persephone,but fucked up by being a dick to his son (I will never forgive him for the whole "your sister was better" incident). He realized the mistake later,sure,and he try to minimize the damage already done by changing his approach to him,but it was already done: Nico will probably spend most of this life wondering about if he will ever be better than Bianca (which doesn't make sense because Bianca never accomplished anything and died for a stupid and well-know mistake she decided to do). Like Hazel because of Nico's slip up (I call this generational trauma) when he almost called her with Bianca's name,before correcting himself.

But yes,all of this to make y'all realize that only because Percy's thoughts of it,he is still an unreliable narrator that doesn't know everything,especially when it cames to Nico that 50% of the time just...disappears to do who knows what and then comes back with all the answers in the world in the other 50%. And that Nico wasn't living on the streets and actually had a place to stay.

And no,I'm not being delusional. Too many people (especially on Tik Tok and Reddit) try to gaslight others into making them believe that Nico was actually homeless,but he wasn't and we have proofs of it in the books. If I see someone else trying to push "Homeless Nico" agenda again I'll write them a 20 pages long essay on how it's impossible.

Okay so like, I just read the entire Son of Sea Foam series in a week and am currently rereading it already (halfway through Descendants of Olympus) and can I just say holy shit this has genuinely got to be one of the best written fanfics I’ve ever read.

Just the unique and interesting twists it puts on canon and how well it’s all thought, I’m literally obsessed. I remember Castor from the books but the personality and development he’s given here is just mind blowing.

That’s another thing, the characters. Aphrodite and Demeter somehow becoming my favourite Olympians was not what I was expecting going in. Just the amount of times I’ve gone from hating a character to loving then and vice versa is crazy.

Best example would be the 1940s kids. They’re all so fleshed out and developed that they could totally pass for actual characters from the books. The way I went from hating Vera with a burning passion after part 1 of DoO to loving her with all my heart after part 2 and her chapter like, it’s just so good.

The wait for the next chapter is actually killing me but ig a lot of the people in the fandom have had to deal with this for like 2+ years lol. Can any of u please recommend me some more PJO fics like SoSF 🥺
