    Summary

    Stupid nightmares.
    It had been bad that night; Akhlys screaming in agony, Annabeth crying out for me to stop, only to crumple to the floor as blood spilled from her lips, blood that I was somehow controlling. Alone, I was so utterly, terrifyingly alone. I fought the urge to cry, to scream, to tear down the walls of my cabin until someone, anyone saw me, heard me, wrapped me up in their arms, reminded me that everything would be okay.
    I didn’t deserve that. Perseus Jackson, Hero of Olympus, but most importantly, murderer of dozens of innocents, didn’t deserve comfort. He didn’t deserve peace. I didn’t deserve anything.

    OR

    Percy Jackson can lie all he wants. When it comes down to it, he's not okay.
    After the second war he's been through, Percy struggles to adjust to his new life, a life where guilt is the only thing he truly knows. What happens when he ignores his own pain and tries to return to normal life?
    (Basically Percy's depression on steroids)

    Summary

    COMPLETE
    ---
    After the final battle with Luke, Percy sacrifices himself to stop the spread of monsters, plunging into Tartarus, knowing he might never return to the surface. Five years later, Percy remains alive but broken, grappling with who he wants to be and who he needs to become to survive. As he grapples with the cost of his sacrifice and the darkness within, Percy must confront the truth that he can never fully escape his legacy or the world that still needs him.

    “Is it worth it?” I asked before I could stop myself, my voice barely above a whisper. “Leaving this place?”

    Bob didn’t answer right away. Instead, he took a deep breath, his massive shoulders rising and falling. He stared at the red sky, as if contemplating the question himself.

    “I think it is,” he finally said, his voice soft but resolute. “I think it’s worth it, because… sometimes, staying here is worse than what’s out there. Out there, there’s hope. There’s a chance. Here, it is just… darkness.” He gave a small, almost wistful smile. “And I’ve been here long enough, Percy. I don’t think I want to stay anymore.”

    Point of Failure by

    Summary

    My performance reliability dropped but the spike of fear upped my reaction time, and my body moved before I consciously realized that it wasn’t going to work.

    I swung at TargetContact with my improvised club, but the force I put into the swing made my wrecked knee joint give out, and the blow only grazed it. I hit the floor again, and TargetContact was on top of me.

    Turns out, I was right that this was going to be worse. I just had no idea exactly how much worse.

    OR

    Things go a lot worse for Murderbot at the end of Network Effect before they get better. This changes a good number of things, but maybe not anything that really matters. Like how far the people that love it are willing to go for its sake.

    Summary

Especially when those malfunctions start causing it to lash out at the only people equipped to help it.
