    Summary

    Annabeth Chase disappeared from the world of the Olympians ten years ago. Now, her life is perfect, but she's missing one thing: a certain green-eyed demigod. When an unexpected arrival thrusts her back into the life she vowed to leave behind, will she learn the truth about what really happened ten years ago?

    or,

    Annabeth and Percy broke up after college under mysterious circumstances. They never got closure and haven’t spoken since. Percy reappears ten years later because he needs Annabeth's help to fulfill a prophecy and things get complicated.

    Percabeth slowburn. A bit trope-y. Canon-compliant until time skip.

    Summary

    Look, Percy didn't want to be a superhero. Paying his rent on time was already hard enough. But life rarely goes according to Percy Jackson's plans.

    Annabeth, on the other hand, always did everything she could to be part of the superhero world, but having been born without powers, she is doomed to always be sidelined while others achieve glory. So when she is forced to babysit the impertinent newbie who has been parachuted into the hero agency she works on, she is not happy.

    Meanwhile, an ancient enemy stirs in the shadows and threatens to shatter the peace that has reigned over New York since the great battle years ago...

    Summary

    After the war with the giants, Poseidon reflects on his past mistakes. Particularly, the whole thing with Odysseus. He knew he could've done better. But that's in the past. The war is over. He can't go back in time to make it right, but he can build something better now. He has a chance to make up for his mistakes.
    Unfortunately for him, the fates take that as a challenge.
    It's just a shame Percy can't stop messing with them.

    Or,

    Poseidon gets sent to the past to fix himself, Percy gets in the middle of it, and the Sea God is lost in transit. Now it's Percy and Odysseus against the world, plus or minus a crew and one Goddess of Wisdom.
