rhode (percy jackson)

Apollo – a god – flashes into Camp, goes to his cabin, flops down onto one of the beds, stares at the ceiling and says pathetically, “I’m yearning.” OR In which Rhea Jackson is the Camp swordfighting instructor, Apollo is trying to deal with a crush, and there's a lot of threatening involved.

“I don’t want you," Percy muttered miserably. "Not like that. I’m sorry, but I’d rather we just be friends.”Lie, lie, lie.His ichor sang as the lies seeped into him to create a gruesome mixture of want and wrath.She wanted him and wouldn’t tell.Apollo grasped Percy’s chin and bared her throat. “Sweetheart,” he murmured, “I can tell when you lie.”She swallowed. “I didn’t lie.”“Liar,” he breathed out.The tremors running down her frame were sweet indeed. But her capitulation would be sweeter. And she would give in. Because if she kept hesitating, Lester was going to have to take a step back. And Percy wouldn’t like what denying a god’s adoration really meant.

As Percy settles into Atlantis, he starts learning new skills. One of these accidentally sends him to depths unknown, and to a chance encounter that might change everything....Set before Then The Lighthouse Goes Dark.
