When Mirrors Turn to Glass

Summary:

Everyone has secrets. Everyone has sides.
The one they show the world - and the one they hide.

In the world of Greek mythology, where monsters and gods walk among us, some of the darkest monsters aren't creatures at all... They're human. Twisted. Unstable. Lost. Depressed.

How long can such monsters live among us, unnoticed?
Can the kindest souls become them? And if so - why?

When Mirrors Turn to Glass is a Percy Jackson AU that dives deep into the hidden backstories of those who became heroes... or villains... or something in between.
It's a tale of friendship formed in the unlikeliest places - between kids and caretakers, dreamers and doubters, even those haunted by their pasts. Can they withstand the 'secrets' or will they break?

Unravel mysteries.
Discover sass strong enough to shatter walls.
Laugh while you still can - because tragedy is coming.

Curious? Start reading. You might just break the mirror too

Chapter 1: Foreword

Chapter Text

Sooo, to those of you who opened up this book-
First off, hi! 👋 This is just a quick intro to what you're getting into:

1) This is a mystery fic. I won't be revealing the pairing until it happens (but guesses are totally welcome 😏).

2) It's my first time writing a fanfic, so I'd love constructive criticism-or just suggestions in general!

3) This story is divided into three eras-kind of like the Nancy Drew 3-in-1 books, if you've read those. So yes, this will definitely be a long fic. Buckle up.

4) Content-wise: There'll be little to no profanity-except in sections where I give a clear warning. Some scenes may include brief descriptions or psychological discussions of abuse and mental health, so please take care while reading.

I don't want to repeat this in every chapter sooo:

## DISCLAIMER: All credits go to Rick Riordan. The world and characters are his-I only own the plot and the OCs I'll be introducing along the way. While the characters may have the same name(s), their characteristics might vary based on their experiences throughout this fanfic.

This story is best suited for:

1. Audiences from kids, teens and adults

2. Preferably those who are acquainted with the Riordan-verse(need not be, cause I will be going into their backstories and explaining from scratch anyways :))

 

So grab your blue cookies 🍪, sit back, and enjoy!

 

PS: I know readers aren't big fans of author notes mid-chapter, so I'll be keeping those to a minimum. Posting schedules, updates, and any extras will be shared in the announcements section.

PSS: After July, my postings might be a bit haywire due to college, projects and extra work, but I'll try my best to keep it consistent and let you all know in advance.

That was a lot-dam! (hehe)

But get ready for tonnes more ;)

 

Alright, in all your demigodishness... peace out <3
