Summary
My breathing was heavy legs aching, yet I still ran. I was vaguely aware of tears slipping down my face, exiled, a traitor, a freak. And yet I didn’t know what I’d done. I told you to run maybe a week ago. But now I was blamed for something that wasn’t my fault.
So I ran. It was either running or being killed the moment the gods found me.
Monsters chewed at my heels, I wanted to let them kill me. I was ready to stop running, someone grabbed my arm, and in a horrifying moment I thought I’d been found.
I had been.
But not by the ones that wanted me dead, “Luke?”
Or…
Luke adopts a bunch of stray traumatized children
(Previously titled Twisted Fates)

Summary
Before she was the mother of a demigod, Sally Jackson was a girl with dreams too big for the world she was born into. When fate handed her loss after loss, she learned to survive by turning silence into stories.
Now, as her son is swept into a war of gods and monsters, she does the only thing she can: she writes.
This is the tale Sally Jackson never meant to tell.
A fantasy spun from the threads of grief and love, wrapped in myth, memory, and the quiet desperation of waiting. Her book begins as a bedtime story for the child she’s already losing, and becomes a requiem for everything she can’t say out loud.
A boy-king crowned far too young. A scribe who cannot interfere. A kingdom always on the edge of falling.
It is not a retelling. It is not a prophecy. It is a mother’s way of surviving a world where heroes never come home the same.
This is Sally Jackson’s story.
And the one she wrote to stay sane while her world fell apart.

Summary
Having to deal with the consequences of a goddesses actions against a child of the sea. Had been bad the first time for all of them. And Triton hadn't wished it on anyone else.
To have it happen almost a second time through one of her children. Was proving to be just as painful as the first.
Even if this time it was his half brother instead of his child.
Or
When the consequences from the Capture the Flag game are more severe because Percy does nearly die against the Ares cabin. It brings back some bad memories for his Dad's side of the family due to Annabeth's involvement. And as a result ends up gaining a very (in Percy's opinion.) overprotective immortal family in the process.

Summary
“First time here?” The girl said, taking a sip of her drink.
Percy blinked.
“There’s hot chocolate on the stove.” She continued, waving a nonchalant hand in the direction of a small kitchenette, “You may as well get settled. This usually takes a while.”
The girl – who Percy could now see had messy black hair and piercing emerald-green eyes – then sank into a large armchair and pulled out a book.
Percy blinked again.
“Are you dead?”
The girl paused.
“Hmm. I think so.” She said, “Though sometimes it’s hard to tell.”
“Am I dead?” Percy then asked, idly wondering if this was all just a very strange dream.
“Most likely. Though if you’re here instead of whichever afterlife you’d usually go to, then you’re probably not dead-dead. Just… mostly dead.”

Summary
Percy Jackson is haunted by recurring dreams-once nightmares, now comforting visions of a mysterious hand reaching out from the void. The whispers call him "God Killer," "God Slayer," and "Our Savior", though he has never slain a god, at least not truly killed one.
His fractured relationship with Annabeth has pushed him back to Camp Half-Blood, but something deeper is stirring. One morning, he wakes to find a mysterious tattoo on his stomach, appearing overnight, with no explanation. As Olympus calls, Percy begins to wonder-who is reaching out to him, and what do they want?
•••
Or, that time Percy Jackson overthrew the government, and looked really badass while doing so.

Alternate Blood of Olympus by JaxW9

Summary
Though the Greek and Roman crew-members of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating Gaea. All of her giants have rise and they're stronger than ever. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. She needs their blood—the blood of Olympus—in order to wake. The demigods are having more frequent visions of a terrible battle at Camp Half-Blood. The Roman legion from Camp Jupiter, led by Octavian, is almost within striking distance. Though it is tempting to take the Athena Parthenos to Athens to use as a secret weapon, the friends know that the huge statue belongs back on Long Island, where it might be able to stop a war between the two camps. The Athena Parthenos will go west; the Argo II will go east. The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. How can a handful of young demigods hope to persevere against Gaea's army of powerful giants? As dangerous as it is to head to Athens, they have no other option. They have come too far already. And for one of the Seven, it’s personal. Driven by rage, Percy Jackson has one thing on his mind: vengeance for his mom and stepdad

Summary
Percy knew it wasn’t healthy. He knew better than anyone how exhaustion had wound itself through him, how it had settled into his bones with a weight that never lifted. It was more than fatigue—it was decay.
~~~
Percy’s decline was gradual at first—sleepless nights stretched into sleepless weeks, fatigue settling deep into his bones like a slow-moving poison. But then, suddenly, it wasn’t gradual anymore. It was rapid, brutal, unforgiving. The moment he collapsed, mid-conversation, into Bucky’s arms, it felt like reality had slammed to a halt. Everything suddenly coming into a harsh perspective for Bucky.
~~~
Or
Percy isn’t doing well and Bucky decides he’s going to do something about it when he’s given the chance.

Summary
He felt the pain of stones against his skin as he dropped to his knees. He felt the soft gentle weight of a hand resting on his shoulder. He found he could lift his gaze up to a familiar but uneasy face.
Percy took in a great shuddering breath as realisation struck him. Tears filled his eyes and he stared at Chiron, “what did I just do?” He whispered.
Percy’s eyes rolled back in his head and he collapsed into the centaur’s arms.
