Summary
When the woman returned with the baby boy in her arms, Poseidon loomed over his shoulder and Dionysus somehow resisted the urge to scoff as he examined the baby boy. His uncle’s overprotective streak wasn’t ending anytime soon.
The boy’s hair was black, certain to be unruly. But the bigger issue was the eyes. The boy inherited his father’s sea green eyes and would instantly give him away. “The eyes have to go.”
Both the woman and Poseidon tense and the wine god doesn’t resist scoffing this time. “As in his eye color! Did you think I meant gouging his eyes out?!”
Or: In order to hide Percy’s parentage, Poseidon convinces Dionysus to claim Percy instead.

Bookmarker's Notes
It’s there that he sees a blue whale plush beside the purple dolphin plush as Percy quietly and peacefully napped, tinged with his uncle’s power, smelling of brine and saltwater.
He can’t help but chuckle to himself at Poseidon’s insecurity.

Summary
Percy Jackson arrives at Camp Half-Blood bruised and bleeding, with the knowledge that he's the son of a god and his mother is dead. His little display with the Minotaur has caught the attention of the camp. But he’s not sure it is good attention, yet.
Only the Hermes Cabin's not-quite Co-counselor Theseus, ‘call me Theo,’ doesn't treat him like a fascinating zoo exhibit. Which would be a relief, except he looks exactly like Percy: same green eyes, same trouble making smile, same black hair. The only differences are the fact that Theo is six years older, covered in battle scars, and the black tattoo on his arm. A trident and the letters SPQR.
Theo is eighteen, powerful, and unclaimed. And his resemblance to Percy could set a dangerous precedent.

Bookmarker's Notes
Theo wasn’t breathing heavy like Percy, but he was covered in sweat, and he considered his own cup of water for a moment. Then he shucked off his t-shirt and dumped the cup directly onto his chest.
“Why are you doing this to me,” Luke complained, but his eyes lingered on his boyfriend.
-----
“I was at Olympus on the Solstice.”Luke knew that. He remembered that Theo had been paying him a lot of attention that day. But there’d been a whole group of them on Olympus. He’d only really noticed Theo because he seemed almost more interested in Luke then his first trip to the home of the gods. It had made Luke—well, it had not been the attention he didn’t want.
-----
“Wait,” something occurred to Percy. “You, and Luke—” it wasn’t something he knew how to put into words. “And you said the woman you loved died.”Theo’s grin was somewhat looped as he shrugged.
“Yeah, consider this your bi awakening. If it makes you feel any better, I literally didn’t realize it until I time traveled.”

Or, Annabeth and Percy travel back to Ancient Greece during the Trojan War, but end up on opposite sides due to conniving parents and old god grudges. The gods are much more possessive than either child remember them being.

Bookmarker's Notes
A kernel of anxiety forms in Percy’s chest. “But, father–”
“No, call me the other word you used.”
Everyone stilled. Are’s jaw drops.
Percy tilts his head. “Dad?”
“That’s the one,” Poseidon smiles, shark teeth gleaming. Eyes look fondly at him. “None of my other children take such an informal tone with me. I think that I might like it. We’ll see.”
~
“Considering the circumstances, I do not blame many for hating my half-brother.” Hector admits, opening his tired eyes. “It is hardly fair to ask for you to enjoy his presence when his follies have caused so many pain. But must you wear your disdain for him so publicly?”
“Men have died because of him,” Percy says. He looks down at the grass as a light wind blows through. “But others do not have the freedom to voice such opinions. So I do it for them.”
“That is true,” Apollo muses. “Most soldiers or servants would be punished heavily for acting disrespectful towards a prince. Even if it is Paris.”
“I’m sorry Lord Anatolious, but I wasn’t speaking about the men.”
They all go quiet as his words sink in.
“Ah, maybe it would help you to know that despite rumors, the Queen of Sparta, she is quite treasured here–”
“A gilded cage doesn’t stop it from being a cage.” Percy shuts that down quickly. It doesn’t matter if Helen is being treated like Aphrodite herself. It doesn’t stop the fact that most accounts show that she isn’t here willingly.
There had been a few accounts that had said that Helen had gone to Troy with Paris on her own accord. But even in those accounts, Aphrodite had enchanted her to like Paris. That still isn’t free will.
~
“Did you not have a proper source of food at your last home? Were your care takers not feeding you?”
“They fed me!” Percy defends them.
There it is again. That jealous little bubble that is building up in Apollo’s gut. It’s not as if he cares for the boy. But…this other pantheon. They had stolen demigod children.
(That’s the best theory that they can come up with. They stole them. Trained them to be soldiers far too young. Then also made them hate the gods, breeding a defiance in them that Olympus has never seen before.)
Yet, Percy is so protective of them. Any slight against his past caretakers is met with a puffed chest and angry words.
It's knowing that information that stills Apollo’s hand. These little demigods were wrested from their homelands. How are they to know how to properly pay respect? Still, even with his past caretakers Perseus’ reactions are still extreme.
Loyalty is definitely Perseus’s fatal flaw.
