    Summary

    He leans over and caresses his rosy cheek. The baby opens his eyes, and Poseidon must hold his breath, for he is met with eyes mirroring his. Gems. Green as the sea.

    “Little one,” he murmurs, “Let the waves rock you and fall back into Hypnos’s tender arms.”

    Poseidon watches as the baby yawns. A small sound that entangles itself within the strings of his heart.

    -

    Or, 5 times Poseidon wishes Percy would stay at his side and 1 time Percy does.

    Summary

    “You have noticed it too, mother?” asked Eros. He turned to her now with his blood-red eyes that shone like gems. Today his hair appeared golden, much like the mortal she had taken a liking to in recent days. “He turns from us. He does not linger in our presence long.”

    The fountain between them burbled around an open clamshell. Sweet-scented perfumes drifted through her temple. The marble was pristine. The cloud nymphs had done a commendable job in preparing the place for the solstice.

    Aphrodite nodded. She leaned against a pillar, observing the goings-on from a distance. “It is a curious thing,” she said.

    -

    Or, Aphrodite notices that Poseidon has avoided looking at her for months and is determined to find out why.

    Summary

    Athena clicked her tongue. “We must decide what to do with the other one…Poseidon’s spawn. Perseus Jackson.”

    Poseidon straightened. The quake inside his chest threatened to release the force he held back. Long Island’s shores were bombarded with waves. “Enough,” he growled. He unclenched his fists. His trident crackled in its sheath attached to his throne.

    The council quieted. Athena narrowed her eyes.

    -

    Or, as the quest concludes and the war ends, Poseidon is left with the truth and the realization that Percy means more to him than he knew.

    Summary

    It was a dark and stormy night.

    Cliché? Grover knew that. But important nights tended to be that way...dramatic. Or dark. Or stormy. Perhaps both.

    That night when Thalia’s tree sprouted from the mossy earth for the first time, the rain sliced from the heavens like knives being thrown at a dart board. He remembered climbing over the hill, limping in earnest as Luke and Annabeth trailed behind him. Their faces were ashen, their scrappy clothes singed from the lightning that Thalia had struck to protect them.

    He could still hear her desperate shout echo after him. "Get them out of here!" Thalia bellowed. "I'll hold them off!"

    -

    Or, Grover wishes he had another chance to find and save a half-blood.

    Summary

    “Drachma for your thoughts?” a deep voice interrupted him in his spiraling moment. He had had too many of those in recent years, thank you very much.

    Percy glanced up, startled. A man in a Hawaiian button-up shirt and a gray unzipped puffer jacket draped over his shoulders crouched next to him, looking out of place and way larger than the rest of the kiddie-sized equipment of the playground. It made him feel even smaller.

    Percy cleared his throat, sitting up straight. The cold plastic slide under his jeans suddenly felt more welcoming than before. “Dad?” he sputtered. “What are you doing here?”

    -

    Or, after Percy claims the Great Prophecy as his own, he fears he will make the wrong choice. Poseidon notices.
