Summary
"The god tilts his head. “I apologize, I’ve been rude. I am Zagreus, prince of the Underworld, god of blood and rebirth.” He winks at him. “Sorry you had to see me come out of the Styx like that—I’m usually much more put together. And as for why I’m helping you…” Something in his bearing shifts, changes from the casual front he was putting on to something much more serious. “That’s your mother that Hades is holding, isn’t it?”
Percy flinches. “What do you know about my mom? Is she okay? She’s not…”
“She’s perfectly fine.” Zagreus says in an unexpectedly reassuring tone. “I promise. She’s not a shade, she’s just being held in stasis.”
Relief flows through him, but… “What does that have to do with why you’re helping us, though?” He’s reminded of the saying Annabeth told him after he received the pearls from Poseidon: never trust a free lunch.
Zagreus meets his eyes. “I know a thing or two about going on an impossible quest to find one’s mother, son of Poseidon.”
OR
What if Zagreus emerged from the Styx in the middle of Percy's confrontation with Hades in the Lightning Thief?

Summary
Despite many nights after a war long waned, despite many enemies forsaking their posts, Prometheus never yielded Mount Olympus. Prometheus insisted that he had no family left in this world. And yet, in his resting chamber was a portrait of Hesione, his former wife. Using the magic of Medea and Circe combined, Melinoe disguised herself as Hesione to convince him to leave Olympus.
Things... escalate. Prometheus has missed his wife very much. Who knows? Perhaps a night of renewed passion was exactly what Prometheus needed to be convinced that his wife wanted him to return to her. Even if it had to be Melinoe in disguise.

Summary
The one where Melinoe actually begins to have doubts about the true nature of the gods. In this fragile state, she must yet again face off against Prometheus, who experiences his own peculiar vision and makes a proposition.
“Tricks?” he murmured. His handsome features were dazed from whatever vision had seized him. “No, little goddess. I have no tricks. I have been disarmed by a most peculiar set of possibilities.”

Summary
The eagle watches her carefully, as if he is aware of just how much he’s pissed her off, and when he begins to cross the distance between himself and the titan, Melinoë grows defensive. Oros appears in her hand and she holds it up in front of her. Aetos stills as she glares at him.
“Enough of this,” comes Prometheus’ voice again. “It is not that big a deal.”
But Melinoë cannot take her eyes off his annoying bird, his feathers crested with ichor and gore.
“Send him away,” she says. At his silence, Melinoë looks up at Prometheus, suddenly aware of their proximity. “I cannot help you if he’s still here.”
or, melinoë doesn't know what to do when the titan is like this.
