Percy Jackson in Tartarus Fic Recs

Percy Jackson/Annabeth Chase

Powerful Percy Jackson, Dark Percy Jackson, Percy controls poison

Tartarus had its own rules. Fire was drinkable. The ground was the body of a dark god. The air was acid, and demigods could be turned into smokey corpses. Compared to that, the idea of controlling poisons was… easy. Percy glared at the poisonous lake around him. He focused, and reached with the part of his mind that allowed him to control water. The poisonous tide stopped. The fumes blew away from him and back towards the goddess. The lake of poison rolled toward her in tiny waves and rivulets. Akhlys took a hesitant step back. “What is this?!” She looked alarmed, scared even. Percy thought it was a good look on her. “Poison,” Percy snarled at her. “That’s your specialty, right?”

The fumes blew away from him – back towards the goddess. The lake of poison rolled towards her in tiny waves and rivulets. Akhlys shrieked. ‘What is this?’ ‘Poison,’ Percy said. ‘That’s your speciality, right?’ He stood, his anger growing hotter in his gut. As the flood of venom rolled towards the goddess, the fumes began to make her cough. Her eyes watered even more. Oh, good, Percy thought. More water. Percy imagined her nose and throat filling with her own tears. Akhlys gagged. ‘I –’ The tide of venom reached her feet, sizzling like droplets on a hot iron. She wailed and stumbled back. (Extract from 'House of Hades') -- What if Annabeth reacted differently to this scene? What if she encouraged it?

Protective Poseidon, Hurt Percy Jackson, Powerful Percy Jackson

The elevator opened about two dozen cyclops immediately exited the doors. Unlike the cyclops serving in Tartarus and Gaea’s army, these were fitted head to toe with celestial bronze armor and weaponry. As soon as they stepped out of the Doors of Death, they assumed their thirty foot tall size. At the center of the group, Annabeth caught sight of a thirty foot tall figure eluding power - even more so than Bob, Hyperion, Krios, and Damasen combined. He was covered head to toe in armor, and held a huge green trident in his right hand. He looked furious, but also somewhat familiar. “No.” Hyperion said, in disbelief. "No - you Olympians, you never interfere-" "POSEIDON!" Tartarus snarled angrily. The sheer power in the primordial's words threatened to tear Annabeth's body apart. “Dad.” Percy croaked. He was lying in a pool of his own blood, with a terrifying amount of injuries and broken bones. Even more blood dripped out of his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on Poseidon. ~~~ Aka. Poseidon hears his favorite son suffering in the pit and rescues him.

"A slow death!" Misery had crowed at him. "A death from a thousand poisons!" And it was. It was slow, and painful, and terrible, and Percy wished he could he could say he wouldn't wish it on his worst enemies. But it wasn't his death, it was Akhlys's—and she deserved so much worse. In which Percy Jackson goes A Bit Too Far, Annabeth Chase gets A Bit Too Scared, and the story changes for the worse.

“We should look for the Doors of Death,” Jason suggested, frowning at the barren landscape. “Nico found it, right?” “Along with most of Gaea’s army, yeah,” Percy reminded him, but it was their only shot at getting out. “I asked him to lead the others there. Uh, up through the sunny path.” Jason squeezed his hand carefully, an attempt at a smile on his lips. “Then we’ll meet them there.” (Or: Percy and Jason fall into Tartarus together, leaving the mortal world behind for the horrors of the pit. They are forced to journey through the darkness, battling monsters and gods, while stuck in a desperate tug-of-war between death and immortality.)

Percy and Annabeth never made it out of Tartarus, just as the Gods intended. To protect themselves from a prophecy that warned of Olympus’ end, the Gods kept it a secret from all but a few demigods.

Even if they do, will their actions stop the secret prophecy from coming to pass?

The Olympian gods have a history of making monumentally bad decisions and not learning from their mistakes. Of course that'll come back to bite them, and everyone seems to think Percy will be the one doing the biting. Thing is, he's tired and just wants to live a normal life. Too bad literally no one believes him except his friends, and now he has to survive the consequences of yet another one those monumentally bad decisions. AKA: Tartarus nearly destroyed Percy the first time, in more ways than one. It's worse the second time. So much worse. And this time, he has no way out. He desperately clings to the one thing he knows without a doubt: 'I have to stay alive for when Annabeth comes for me'. Because she will.

percy can control water, right? and blood is 51% water. for me this means two things:

1. he never had to feel ashamed trying to hide it

2. annabeth can have a good time whenever she likes

Blind Earthshaker Au

I wanna see a series rewrite where everything is the same except Percy is blind but can see better than everyone around him and has Katara's ice bending and toph beifong's Seismic Vibration Senses.

Like his dad is called the earth SHAKER so I don't think he can bend the earth too well but Percy is like feeling and making tiny vibrations/Earthquakes with his feet to see. He's super weak to air based projectiles think arrows. Or like literally anything a wind spirit picks up and throws in his general direction.

(He will tap his foot like an angry rabbit when hes stressed or caught off guard. I'm thinking wind spirits since they don't touch the ground OR have any water inside their bodies)

He can also "see" like where all the water is around him in a certain distance. Like mentally he has a 3d map of where things are. He doesn't like going places where theirs not a lot of water/or gorund. he can like tell when people are nervous by the speed of their blood flow/ the rhythm of their hearts. And is super precise with his ice bending be cuz of it.

Maybe Sally dies early or something and like we've got like 7 year old blind Percy wandering the streets but like since he can see where all the monsters are with his vibration earthy senses he can avoid them really well. Like "oh huh that guy has Hoooves? Nope. Percy outta here. Noo thanks." Since the mist is mostly sight based, and stuff, I feel like Percy would have a HUGE advantage.

In cannon it's shown that Percy is like really clairvoyant, what with all his dreams and stuff. So in my au he knows about the big three pact, and is just bullshiting people into thinking he's related to Khione goddess of snow and ice. And desperately trying not to let into the fact that he's blind.

(Luke/or/annabeth/or/Leo/or/Rachel/or Whoever he ends up being best friends with figures it out eventually be cuz theyve been friends for so long.)

At some point he runs into an 11yr old Luke pre- Luke meeting Thalia&Annabeth. And then we have them having the dynamic of Percy being a manic feral little shit and Luke trying to be responsible and protect him but ends up being the one protected all the time. I think it'd be funny.

Or maybe he runs into 7 year old annabeth and they become badass -cant be beat- besties. Percy snipe murdering every spider in a quarter mile radius, after he finds out annabeth is afraid of them.

I'm more partial to the meets Luke one cuz then when Percy and annabeth go on their first quest we'd get this fucking glorious scene:

Annabeth: no don't look Percy! You'll die!

Unhinged feral blind Percy: hahaha bitch u thought!!! *He says as he uncaps riptide witch was hidden in his hand.*

Medusa: *gurgling noise be cuz there is now a sword in her neck.*

Or in book two:

Circe standing with Percy Infront of enchanted mirror: isn't there Something u wish u could change about ur appearance? Drink this magic smoothie!

Unhinged feral blind Percy: haha bitch YOU THOUGHT.

Circe is now being held at knife point. (Or.. smootie- icicle point?)

Or if a pissed off god flashes their true form.

Hera: how... how are you alive?!

*Percy with his head tilted/angled so it looks like he's looking at them.*

Percy: *sing-songy voice* I know something yoooouuu doooonnntt! :)

Or if he gets hit by cupids arrow.

Cupid: the next person u look at with direct eye contact you will fall helplessly in love with them.

unhinged feral blind Percy: HAHAHA BITCH GUESS WHAT!

I'm sure there's more areas in the books or just Greek mythos in general where being blind is actually an advantage, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

Or oooor -this is the one that I see being most likely to happen- hear me out: he runs into LEO. Since Hera was using the mist like crazy to hide him, but Percy is unaffected/immune to the most because He. Can't. See. It.

They steal/hijack an RV to live in. That could be cool. Leo has trama based on like burning people, right? Percy in canon Swam in LAVA, boy is fire-fucking-PROOF!! Fire and ice friends!

('oh my gods, they were roommates' perleo shipping intensifies)

Leo probably: you're nickname shall be Snowflake. Becuz ice powers.

Leo mentally: "wow! this person is really pretty, and funny and is like me, AND THEIR FUCKING FIREPROOF?"

Leo mentally: lets get fucking married.

Or maybe Sally doesn't die and Percy's blindness is known. He goes to school and guess who volunteered to help read his paperwork to him. That's right our favorite eco-rights activist: Rachel Elizabeth Dare!

Since Percy is blind he doesn't? Have dyslexia? I'm not entirely sure about how to explain this one. But like he's blind. People read things for him. (so he isnt effected by having dyslexia, becuase someone else is reading things for him.) He'd have good grades. Percy is sooo fucking smart. But like no one remembers cuz annabeth is always putting him down with all that doubt in canon. "Seaweed Brain!" I hate that nickname. Fuck canon annabeth. U don't have to put others down to have confidence in yourself omfg.

someone who isnt me write it. this is a writing prompt go! fanfic writers gooo!

So I was talking to my sister, and we remembered that technically Percy can control water, kinda of (like with Nancy & the fountain, and in the bathroom), so is he like a water bender? Like in Avatar: the last Airbender??? And if he is, does that mean he can also control ice?? Also, blood! Some of the waterbenders in Avatar can control blood. Can Percy also do that?!!? There's so many possibilities, my brain in melting

Percy didn’t bother with the handle, instead throwing himself into the door as he ran. He didn’t bother replying to the greetings in the lobby or the many questions thrown at him as he plowed through the building. He didn’t bother waiting for someone to tell him where Annabeth was, he ran down the hallway and checked every room. She was in the last one on the left.

Relief spread through him when he saw her laid on the bed.

But then his stomach dropped.

All he had to do was take one look at the room to know. Will was standing against the wall, not at the bedside treating her. Connor was sitting in a chair, a rarity for a son of Hermes who always seemed to bounce off the walls. Annabeth didn’t respond to his arrival, not even by looking up at him.

“I thought there was time to get her back here,” Will said, eyes trying their best to find Percy’s. “The knife didn’t look like it had been poisoned. She should have been fine till we could patch her up properly here.”

The boy was a doctor explaining a tragedy to an unsuspecting loved one. Percy had seen it on television, on those dramas always playing that pulled on your heartstrings even if you insisted you weren’t really watching. This was just like that, from Will’s sympathetic but professional tone to the silence in the background to the impending doom he’d felt since the injury happened. Except this was no tv episode, it was real.

“Can I have a moment with her, alone?” Percy asked. He hated that he sounded like he was about to cry. That’s always exactly how it went on tv, the person warbling out a sentence before they broke down in tears.

Connor started to speak up but Will shushed him and hurried the two of them out of the room. As the door slammed, Percy made his way towards her.

He looked at Annabeth. Really looked. There was so much to see. Good things, like the nic in her eyebrow that held a warm memory of getting hurt messing around together with an ax last summer. Bad things, like the blood crusted under her nails from the battle that raged on outside.

And then some things that Percy couldn’t distinguish as good or bad because he’d never seen them on her before. Like how her freckles stood out more, maybe because the rest of her skin was paler than usual. And how her lips hung open in a totally useless shape that he was sure Annabeth would never put them in because it served no purpose.

And above all, he saw that she was dead. Plain, old fashioned passed-away.

No, a voice inside of him said. If she was alive just minutes ago on the bridge, she has to be alive now.

He checked along her neck for a pulse, but felt nothing.

She has to be alive.

Percy focused harder on what he felt under his fingers. Her heartbeat was weak and he’d have to work hard to find it, that was it. Closing his eyes, he imagined blood flowing through her veins to a steady lub-dub where his hand lay.

Nothing.

He kept focusing.

Then he heard it. Faint, but there. By a few minutes later it had grown stronger. Percy let out a quiet laugh, relief filling him. Of course Annabeth wasn’t dead.

He finally removed his fingers from her pulse and leaned back to look at her face, which remained unmoving. Gently, he reached towards her cheek. As his thumb brushed against her cool skin, her eyes shot open.

“What the f- fudge”

Percy whipped around to see Conner standing in the doorway, watching them. His eyes were the size of a golf ball as he looked at Annabeth.

“How did you do that?” Conner asked, frozen in place.

Annabeth groaned and Percy drew his attention back to her, asking her what’s wrong. Her eyes darted across the room, landing on Percy, but she said nothing back.

“Go get Will,” he ordered Conner. The boy scurried away down the hall.

. . .

The war was over. Kronos was dead, along with Luke. Annabeth was recovering just fine from her shoulder injury. Chiron had demanded a meeting with Percy in the Big House, of all ways to celebrate their success. Grudgingly, Percy obliged.

“Please don’t tell me there’s another prophecy that I’m actually the child of this time?” he asked as Chiron handed him a ginger ale.

The centaur looked down at the table, a worryingly serious look on his face.

“Percy,” he began. “You need to understand this. Annabeth was killed in battle.”

Percy didn’t know what to say. Was Chiron okay? Was he okay? Was he hallucinating?

“Will told me that when you arrived at the hotel, she had already been gone for 20 minutes. But you brought her back. I haven’t seen a child of Poseidon with that great of control in centuries, but here you are.”

Percy wanted to laugh in his face, but that would probably come off as rude. Brought her back? Last time he checked, resurrecting from the grave wasn’t included in Poseidon’s domain of the ocean. Chiron spoke up again before he could mention this.

“I suppose you’re confused. When you found Annabeth, your powers honed in on her blood. Controlled it like they would any water. And when you wanted her blood to pump through her veins again, it did."

He'd... controlled her blood? The thought unsettled him. But as long as Annabeth was here, she could help him figure these powers out, and he'd be fine.

What do you think about Percy using his blood bending ability for medical stuff. Stopping people from bleeding out, or instead of doing CPR just keeping the heart pumping and the blood flowing with his mind. He'd have to be careful not to actually rupture any arteries. Do you think he could, like, filter poison out of the bloodstream? Bc i have been headcanoning that for a while.

(Also the Percy duel wielding ask: ❤️👌)

I love this idea! Percy is already overpowered, why not give him the ability to literally keep others alive? I can imagine him deciding to be a doctor - kid surgeon, maybe? -, using his ability to slow down any internal bleeding, or the unseen complications in the operating room, etc. The poison thing I'm not sure about, because he controls water, and not the other components. How can he filter it? Hmm... But I'm not studying anatomy nor biology, so I can't say for sure.

On the other hand, now I want to see more dark Percy, where he uses the blood bending ability. Speeding up bleeding, rupturing veins, forcing blood flow the other way... Quite the bloody image, but cool nonetheless.

Okay, so I've become obsessed with Epic: The Musical and uhhhhh...... I got possessed or smth and wrote a song fic with some lyrics from one of the songs lmao

The song I used is Just a Man and the lyrics are actually a pretty popular tiktok sound right now 😅

Anyway, you should definitely go listen to the entire soundtrack (all that's out right now, I am anxiously awaiting the next saga 😫)! You can find it on YouTube and Spotify!

Now without any further ado, here's the little song fic ig XDDD

AO3

----

When does a comet become a meteor?

Percy clung to Annabeth as they fell, knowing that separation meant certain death. They fell and fell and fell for what seemed like days. Until finally Percy felt the familiar tug in his gut that meant there was water nearby. He pulled at it until it bent to his will and swallowed them, saving them from instant death, but almost killing them anyway.

When does a candle become a blaze?

“Together,” Annabeth said, and Percy nodded. Together, they plunged their hands into the Phlegethon and gulped down liquid fire. They gasped and gagged and writhed as it burned through them until the pain had eased and it had healed their wounds enough to carry on.

Percy took Annabeth’s hand and helped her to her feet, keeping a tight hold on her as they walked on.

When does a man become a monster?

“Percy? Why did you leave me? Where did you go?” Annabeth cried, stumbling around looking for him. I’m sorry, he wanted to say, I’m right here, but the poison ravaging his body left him no power to speak. Maybe I’m no better than all the monsters I’ve killed, maybe I’m a monster. Maybe I deserve this. He writhed on the ground, helpless as the Arai gloated over him and Annabeth stumbled towarad the edge of the cliff.

When does a ripple become a tidal wave?

The poison flowed toward him, rippling like water across river stones. Water, he thought, and reached out for the poison, willing it to move. It froze for a moment as Percy fought for control. Then something like a glass ball in his stomach shattered and the poison changed direction, flowing back towards its previous mistress with a vengeance.

When does the reason become the blame?

“What is this?” Misery cried, stumbling back. Percy gave her a feral grin.

“Poison. That’s your specialty, right?” He laughed. “You want to know true misery, Akhlys? Well, here it is.”

When does a man become a monster?

He grinned and laughed, taking a savage pleasure in Misery’s suffering at his hand. Her eyes welled up from the fumes and snot streamed down her face. Good, he thought, more water. He took control of her tears and mucus, making her choke as it ran down her throat and made her eyes burn. He felt the ichor that was a god’s blood as it coursed through her veins, the rapid, terrified beating of her heart.

“Percy!”

He whirled around with a snarl only to freeze at the terror on Annabeth’s face.

“Percy, you have to stop, please. That’s enough.” She pleaded with him, eyes flickering over his shoulder to stare at Akhyls’ rapidly paling face

He hissed and turned back to the goddess with narrowed eyes and a murderous scowl.

He released his hold on her bodily fluids and cleared a path away from them through the poison rivers.

“Go!” He roared and watched her stumble and trip in her haste to get away from him with a sick sort of satisfaction.

Forgive me...

As soon as he relinquished control of the poison, the weight of fatigue settled heavily within his chest, and he fell to his knees with a groan. Immediately, Annabeth was at his side, hands hovering over him almost like she was... afraid.

She was afraid of him.

He choked on a sob. “What have I done?” he whispered.

Firmly, Annabeth grabbed his face and made him look at her. “Don’t you ever do that again, Percy, please.” Her eyes were haunted, and her voice shook. “You can’t do that to me, okay? Some things just aren’t meant to be controlled.”

Forgive me...

Percy clenched his jaw and grit his teeth, steeled his resolve. He knew what he had to do to win this fight.

He only hoped that Annabeth could forgive him.

He reached out and felt the rounded edges of the broken glass in his stomach shudder, threatening to shatter irreperably into a million pieces. If he wanted to keep a lid on his power, if he wanted to ever have a hope of repairing what had been broken down there, he needed to stop now or else it would be too late.

He didn’t stop.

Just as the tug in his stomach became sharper and the pain unbearable, the shards of glass disappeared, like they had exploded into incredibly fine pieces of sand and dust.

And just like that, he could feel everything. A wall had been lifted from his mind and he felt his powers swell with infinite possibility. He felt the slightest tremors in the ground, from the stomp of a giant’s step to the small bounce of an ant dragging a leaf back towards its colony just outside the Parthenon. He could feel the blood rushing through his fellow demigods’ veins, the ichor coursing through the gods that fought alongside them, the dark ichor tainted by the earth that flowed through the giants’ bodies.

He latched on to the gritty, dirty ichor of the giants, grabbing hold and gathering it all towards himself. Every giant froze where they were, unable to move.

He squeezed, felt their hearts burst as ichor began to stream from their eyes, mouths, noses, and ears. Vaguely, he thought he could hear screaming, but he was focused solely on the rotten ichor of the giants, drawing it out of their bodies any way he could, pulling and pulling and pulling it all towards himself.

Distantly, he registered several voices calling his name and a dull pain radiating through his body, but he ignored it all. He wouldn’t stop, couldn’t stop, until the job was done.

He screamed, the sound wrenched unwillingly from his throat as finally all the giants crumbled into golden dust and the ichor he was still holding onto dissipated into a fine mist.

He stumbled forward, snapping back to awareness with a frightening clarity. He gasped for air and collapsed to his knees, pain shooting through his body. He wiped dazedly at his face when he noticed a wetness on his lip. He pulled his hand away and saw blood on his fingers.

“Oh,” he breathed, before falling forward and would have landed on his face had it not been for his father appearing right beside him and catching him to lay him gently on the ground.

“Oh, my son,” Poseidon said, voice soft and filled with devastation even as he gave Percy a horrified look. “What have you done?”

“Percy!” He rolled his head and watched Annabeth skid to a stop and drop to her knees beside him, pulling him into her lap. He smiled up at her, darkness creeping up the edges of his vision.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered and reached out a shaky hand to wipe the tears from her cheeks, frowning when he left behind streaks of bright red. “Forgive me,” he murmured, his vision and his strength fading. His eyes fluttered shut, and he slipped into the black.

Forgive me...!

Percy Jackson & Poseidon

Self-Acceptance, Good Parent Poseidon, Poison Control

No one ever tells you that the worst part of war is learning to live with it after. As Percy struggles to accept events in Tartarus and his growing powers, at least he has his divine family to help.

Percy Jackson & Hermes, Percy Jackson & Blackjack, background Percy Jackson/Annabeth Chase

Good Friend Hermes, Percy Needs a Hug, Emotional Hurt/Comfort

Percy senses the blood before he sees it, the way he can sense water, seas and oceans. It's only a matter of time before his powers leak out, and hurts someone. Chiron talks to him, but it doesn't help. Chiron doesn't know what happened; apparently Annabeth isn't speaking to him, and Percy sure as hell isn't about to spread the fact that he has power over poison, blood and ichor around. He even gets on Mr. D's nerves. The alcoholic god glares at him and says: "I could smite you. Turn your blood against you, your molecules to dust." All Percy can think is, yeah, so can I.

Percy Jackson & Hermes, Percy Jackson & Hades, Percy Jackson & Poseidon, Percy Jackson & Kymopoleia

Powerful Percy Jackson, PTSD, Percy Jackson Needs a Hug

After the War against Gaea, Percy finds himself struggling in the life he worked so hard to get back to. The more he tries to fit back in, pushing down his powers and emotions after the war, the more things seem to fall apart. As Olympus prepares to officially reopen at the Winter Solstice, Hermes takes notice that something is off with the Savior of Olympus. But when he asked for help from Hades, none of them could imagine what Percy’s trip to the Pit led to and what it will mean for the hero. Or Percy finally reckons with the consequences of challenging Akhlys with a little help from his immortal family, who he might be around for a lot longer than he thought.
