Summary
“I…” Percy drew a shuddering breath. “No one is here. You’re all…gone. No one talks to me. No one asks how I’m doing. I’m always the one to reach out, to start a conversation, to Iris message. I’ve started to give up. I dream about Tartarus every night, and the nightmares are getting worse.” He rocked himself, tears streaming down his face. “Oh gods, I’m so weak. I’m so weak. I’m so weak…”
Or, in which the effects of The Second Giant War finally catches up to Percy.

it’s not halloween (but the ghost you dress up as sure knows how to haunt) by damdrpepper

Summary
Halloween used to be Percy’s favorite holiday. He loved getting candy and dressing up. He liked that, for once, nobody questioned why a little kid was running around by himself.
Now, it felt like a chore. He already put on a mask every day for the people in his life. He dressed up as a happy, carefree guy who just went with the flow and moved on from everything that might make any other person feel a little down. He charaded as a guy that could easily go through hell and come out on the other side, not only having retained his life, but also his positive attitude.
How could anybody expect him to think of another costume to wear while still keeping every other part of himself together?

Summary
He waited a few moments longer before he spoke, until the kid's breathing was more even and the last of the tremors had subsided. If he exaggerated his own breathing for the little menace to copy, it didn't mean anything. He just really, really, didn't want to deal with the fallout of camp being wiped from the Long Island shore.
"Now. Wanna tell me why you're awake and bothering me at..." he spared the nearby clock another glance and winced. "12:07am? When all other sensible people are fast asleep?" Gods, he was far too tired and underpaid to deal with this shit.
"You weren't asleep though," Percy pointed out. "So I don't think you can really talk when you're unsensible like the rest of us." He paused, face scrunching in confusion. "Is unsensible even a word? It sounds funny."
The little shit.

“Is this Dionysus Mantzoukas?” she asked in a short, clipped tone.
“Can I help you?” he asked impatiently, wanting nothing more than to flop back over and continue to ignore his responsibilities for a few more hours. “What do you want? Can you not see what time it is–”
“My name is Jodie Perry. I'm calling from New York-Presbyterian emergency room,” the woman interrupted him. “I need to speak with Dionysus Mantzoukas–”
“Listen, Jane, it’s two in the morning. There better be a good reason–”
“ -in regard to your ward, Perseus Jackson. He was brought in a few hours ago, but getting any family information out of him proved…difficult.”

Summary
Percy Jackson grew up a semi normal life sure he could make water pipes explode with his mind, but it was semi normal, no monsters, no quests, no annoying Gods, no holding up the sky, no wars that made him wake up in a cold sweat.
this all changed when Percy was 12 years old this was when he was no longer normal, what followed was he got claimed by Poseidon, she went on quest to save the world and he was offered 2 gifts, one was a wish the other was godhood. the first time he had been offered godhood he turned it down because he was with Annabeth, then he found out she had been lying to him for far longer than he cared to admit. the second time he was offered godhood he had no choice but to accept. and as for the other gift... well you will just have to wait and see. -

Summary
Percy had always hated his birthday. As a kid, his mom was typically working on his birthday and Smelly Gabe definitely wasn’t going to do anything for it. That meant he usually spent it alone. He never had a cake, a party, or many gifts. His mom would usually get him some candy from her store and try to get him something with whatever money she could spare. But it was never a happy day for Percy. It was more a reminder of how lonely he felt.
Every year, he was always surprised to find he survived. As a kid, he always assumed that Gabe would kill him sooner or later. As he got a little older, he assumed he would do something to himself. Then there was the prophecy, of course. Overall, Percy was never very excited about his birthday.
OR
Percy is forced to celebrate his birthday. It’s too bad he can’t be forced to be happy.

Summary
Percy didn’t like the way the new kid was looking at him, his bright eyes always peering at him from the corner of some corner or piece of art in the manor, like he was waiting for him to slip up.
He tried to control his emotions, he really did, but the entire situation was definitely unfair, both to him and to Jason.
Since Jason had died, Bruce had managed to first strip Percy of his own colors and vigilante name, ignore his new adopted pet project completely, take in the kid next door (who definitely still had parents who were alive, kicking it, and extremely rich), and give Jason’s colors to him when logically they should’ve been Percy’s next.

Summary
Since the end of the Second Gigantomachy, Percy has been keenly aware of the monsters that roam among them. Not the typical Greek/Roman monsters, no, beings entirely different. Beings only he can see.
As desperate as Percy is for answers, he’s exhausted. His senior year is fast approaching and he’s content to ignore the darkness at the edge of his vision and simply enjoy the rest of the summer with his girlfriend.
But this is Percy’s life, and Percy’s life is never that easy. So, when the not-monsters he’s been ignoring harms an innocent kid, he gets to work. He’ll figure out what these things are, and he’ll figure out how to kill them, for good.He’s not nearly as confident, though, when he shows up to the doors of one 'Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College', intent to enroll. School has never been this high-stake.

Or: Percy enrolls at Jujutsu Tech as a first year in July of 2018. His presence is nothing short of a headache to Canon.
