Hi there. These will be random drabbles featuring any of the characters from the Percy Jackson series or the Heroes of Olympus series.
Updates will be random and lengths will vary. The drabbles will be romantic, humorous, fluffy, thoughtful, angst, and other genres. I gladly welcome any ideas for chapters. Thank you. I hope you all enjoy.

"Bobbi? Sweets, where are you?"
"Over here, Daddy!"
Percy let out a breath he didn't realize he had been holding. It always worried him when his children left his sight, especially out in public. Monsters could appear anywhere, anytime: it was part of the danger of being a demigod. It was also his responsibility to watch over his family, as a father.
He jogged to where his daughter's voice was. And there she was, sitting on a bench, her legs brought up to her chest and her eyes – so much like her mother's – studying the night sky. He dropped down beside her, wrapping his arm around her shoulders and pressing her small body against his.
They had snuck out of the house, leaving the boys to deal with Annabeth's weekly attempt at dinner. Percy loved his wife to the Underworld and back, and she was incredibly intelligent. She had gotten them both out of more sticky situations than he could count. But she could not cook. Many horrid memories of failed efforts suddenly hit him and he had to try his best not to gag.
"Daddy?" Bobbi asked.
He jolted out of his reveries. "Yes, sweets?"
"Why did you and Mommy name me Bobbi?" she frowned. "I mean, isn't that a guy's name? Everyone at school says it's a guy's name."
Percy paused. He recalled silver, crazy-Einstein hair. Pure silver eyes. A torn, blue janitor's uniform. A contagious smile. A flowing broom so dangerous it might as well have been a sword. A healing touch. Large hands that were gentle and warm. An unfair sacrifice. A Titan.
But most of, he recalled a friend.
Tell the sun and stars hello for me.
"Let me tell you," he told his daughter. He pointed at the stars. "He was born Iapetus, a Titan, but he died a hero."
