    Summary

    Guilt is a heavy burden, one that has settled into permanent residence at the back of his mind. Percy isn’t strong enough to bear it. He wishes he could reside in a state where he doesn’t exist. He shouldn’t exist, not when he finds satisfaction in inflicting misery. It’s not right that Percy is wasting his breath in the name of all those who gave their lives for his survival.

    (or, Percy, and the things he keeps hidden from those he loves. He swears it's for their own good.)

    Summary

    “Is it weird that I want to crack open my chest and put you in there?” I want to keep you forever, is what she really means. Nothing is forever. But if she could have anything, just one thing for the rest of her life, it would be having Percy at every moment. He’ll always be there, even if he isn’t physically present. That sort of faith in a person should deter her, but she’s had years to accept it. Loving Percy isn’t a choice, but more so a fact of life.

    Summary

    It wasn't luck that had saved him back then. Just fate, a delayed death. That's what Calypso had meant. He wondered if she believed there was a difference between a hero and a lamb raised to slaughter. He wasn't sure if he did, anymore.

    Percy thought dreams had escaped him on the island, because he could never remember any of them when he woke, but that wasn't it. He knew now that he had dreamt - it was just always the same one.

    He watched his bottom lip - all teeth-dented and peeling and bloody - quiver and fall open. No sound came out, but Percy heard.

    Annabeth.

    ---

    An exploration of the Ogygia impact event on Percy Jackson, before the war, and after.

    (this is 200% a percabeth fic - I promise)
