Percy Jackson Fanfiction Wiki (website)

  • Recommended by Yuki Kiryu
  • Comments: This is a very active site. The stories are much, much better than most of the crap you'll find on fanfiction.net - in fact, a lot of them are good enough to be published! The users are much nicer, with not a single troll or flamer (and any trolls or flamers that do come will be banned very quickly). If they don't like something about your story, they'll give you friendly, polite CC. Currently there are over 300 original, well-written stories. There's something in it for pretty much everyone, and I can almost guarantee that you'll love it.

General Fics

Broken Bow by Xed Alpha

  • Recommended by Holylight88
  • Synopsis: An old fool's vengence forces Apollo to keep a huge and possibly devastating secret from Artemis for over a decade, a deception that she may never be able to forgive him for. Winner of the Veritas OC award. Ghost Writers Approved. Beta by Shrrgnien.


Three by icy roses

  • Recommended by USA Bobcat
  • Synopsis: One life is not enough for love; Percy and Annabeth try for the Isles of the Blest, but it seems that fate is not always kind to them. (Taken from the Pit)
  • Comments: Simple as the author's description reads, Percy and Annabeth go for reincarnation after the events of the books. Much, much better than it sounds. Each life (save for the third one) is a self-contained chapter, and while not as long as the books, it proves fascinating. A read that will keep you up from start to finish, tantalizing you until you complete it.

Palace of Memory by Scion of Kushiel

  • Recommended by cedarleaf
  • Synopsis: Unable to sleep, Percy, age 20, decides to finally ask his father some hard questions, never thinking that the answers might surprise him.
  • Comments: A nice post-series one shot that looks at what the world looks like four years later from Percy's point of view. It has wonderful characterization and despite how short it is has a very nice feel to it.

  • Recommended by Cedarleaf
  • Synopsis: A short ficlet about early in Thalia's life.

  • Recommended by Fambera
  • Synopsis: Six times Poseidon openly checked on his son whilst he was growing up. After all - he was just checking that he was safe . . . Pre-series. Canon.

Alice in the Underworld by Is you heart in the game
