Summary
"i grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange,
i know that if you hide, it doesn't go away.
if you get out of bed and find me standing all alone
open-eyed - burn the page, my little dark age."
- mgmtThe Ancient Greeks always had it right: The sea cannot be restrained. It is ancient, and harbors things and mysteries no mortal will ever be able to understand. But Percy Jackson is no mere mortal. Like his father, he is the sea itself.
Or, in which Percy Jackson, son of Sally Jackson and a Hero of Olympus, supposedly dies in Tartarus, and Poseidon's grief destroys entire countries. But when his father retrieves him from Hell, he finds his son alive. And not quite human anymore — his very soul has been altered.
(Previously titled: let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories about the death of kings. Check the series for the alternate ending!)

Summary
The alternate ending to "little dark age" (previously titled let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories about the death of kings), where Percy did actually die. You don't have to read that one but it will make more sense if you do. This oneshot replaces chapter three, so read the first two chapters and then read this, to make more sense.
Poseidon retrieves his son, and Camp Half-Blood holds his funeral with everyone in attendance.

Summary
Poseidon reached out a hand but stopped when his son flinched, like he was… like he was…
It took a moment for the god to realize why. He had reached out his hand too quickly for the demigod’s liking. But he had never flinched around his father. Poseidon would never lay a hand on his own son, even when he was angry. So there was a singular conclusion and it took a moment to accept. He didn’t want to be, but if he was correct… The god lowered himself to his knees so he was at eye level with his eighteen-year-old son. “Percy?"
“G…” He almost choked on his words. “I-It was… it was him, dad…” He clung to himself, blue sweatshirt sleeves pulled over his hands and arms pulled up to his chest.
The god was quiet for a moment. “Percy, I am only going to ask this once.” His tone remained calm, but it was firm, yet not unkind. “Did Gabe abuse you?”
-
AU where Sally didn’t turn Gabe into a statue but kicked him out and got him thrown in prison. Gabe finally gets out and he wants to make Percy pay for ruining his life. Poseidon shelters his son in Atlantis, and while he and his family help Percy heal, the god decides to exact his own revenge on Gabe.

Summary
Alternate Title: let the sea take me and drown all my sorrows
He’s sinking down, and down and down. His throat burns from the seawater aggravating the soreness of it. The water carries him down, or maybe that’s him. He doesn’t know. He lets the sea take him. Maybe she’ll give him the peace he’s never truly had. Maybe she’ll let him rest for once. So he drifts, throat choking and burning with tears, eyes focused on the dimming light above him. Maybe this was his fate all along - to be swept away by the sea to a place even his father can’t find him. And maybe, he’s okay with that. Maybe he can sleep now.
Or in which Percy Jackson has given up, but Poseidon has not.
