Prince Of Pearls by ChouetteInTheNight
Fandom Percy Jackson and the Olympians & Related Fandoms - All Media Types, Percy Jackson and the Olympians - Rick Riordan
17 Jun 2026
Summary
Perseus Jackson is a son of Poseidon—product of a broken oath, packing more sass than sense, with the ocean’s temper yet none of its mercy, and a prophecy already gunning for him.
But he is also the son of Sally Jackson—the mortal who caught a god’s eye and out-stubborned the storm. Barely out of childhood herself, she wound up with a child who wept pearls and limpet teeth—and still managed to keep him hidden.
A disastrous field trip to the New York Aquarium unravelled all her efforts.
Now seven-year-old Percy’s colliding headfirst with Greek mythology, Sally’s stuck refereeing between gods, monsters, and aggressively helpful nature spirits, and the family secret is on life support.
Sure, more protectors might sound nice—until you realize none of them are equipped to wrangle a demigod overflowing divinity, and the only things keeping him hidden anymore are sheer luck, opportunism, and just enough self-delusion to qualify as a superpower.
OR:
Join feral-child Percy on his quest to spread (minor) chaos, dodge smiting attempts, and collect all his half-siblings like they’re emotionally damaged Pokémon—while fate stumbles after him and heroic deeds get done more or less as an afterthought.- Words:

Summary
Fishes are convinced he belongs to them, bath water seems to have a mind of its own, tiny tantrums summon breezes that no weather report predicted.
Still, Sally scoops him up, kisses his damp hair, and wonders how one tiny boy can make the world feel so alive.
OR
five times Sally Jackson noticed her son wasn’t entirely human (and one time it didn’t matter at all)

Summary
“We need to agree to some ground rules. How this is all going to work.”
“Are you going to bill me for drawing up the contract?” Din needles,
“No. We can't have any evidence of… this.” Luke levels a look at him. “You know we're going to have to lie to everyone, right? I don't want to get caught up trying to remember who knows the truth and who doesn't. Can you do that?”
“Can you?” Din counters, “-your sister won't be able to tell?”
“...she has her hands full with my nephew,” Luke says,
Din snorts.
“What?”
“Are you prepared for everyone at the office thinking we're together?”
“Why is that funny? This was your idea!"
“I know, I'm fine with it." Din says "-Just looking forward to you getting read the riot act by Kenobi, that's all.”
-
Because the Universe thinks it's funny, Luke and his colleague, Mando, are both going to the same wedding. And because the Universe has decided it's pursuing a career in comedy, they both have their own reasons for needing a date to it.
The most logical course of action, obviously, is that they pretend to be dating and attend together.
Luke has a great feeling about this. -

Summary
When the last screw gave way and the sign finally fell with a clatter to the durasteel decking, it echoed around the nearly-empty hangar in the dead of local night. Bix glanced up sharply from where she was elbow-deep in an X-wing’s fried targeting array.
In the time it took to pry out the melted wiring, clamber down, wipe the grease off her hands, no one else had shown any interest in the thing lying there on the floor. So she wandered over, still feeling a little imbalanced in her footing, a little uncertain of her place in this newer, bigger hideaway, and grabbed the plastifoil off the ground and turned it over.
It took a minute, shifting the thing this way and that in the light and squinting at the fading lettering to make out the words:
Dantooine base est. with compliments of the Emperor & generous donation from Aldhani garrison.

Perhaps Petunia Evans had looked at Vernon Dursley as a rebellion, perhaps as an escape. Either way, it hadn’t been Petunia’s best moment, and now she stood on her little sister’s doorstep with nothing but bad news and a baby.

Summary
Merlin, Prince of Dracaneard, only meant to go visit Camelot in secret so he could see the land of prophecy and meet his uncle. He really didn’t intend to save Prince Arthur’s life or be given a job as his manservant for the trouble.
But it’s a good way to get to know the prince who is prophesied to unite Albion and bring back magic by Merlin’s side, isn’t it? And it’s not as if Arthur knows that his newest servant is the crown prince to Camelot’s enemy.
Surely, this won’t turn ten shades of complicated all too soon.

Summary
Frenchie laughs.
He laughs, and the sound is so unexpected that Izzy startles, heart thumping unevenly in his chest, breath caught in his throat. His chin tilts and his eyes squint and his nose wrinkles with it, and it strikes Izzy that he’s never heard Frenchie laugh before. Not properly, not like this.
I could care for you, Izzy thinks, sudden and violent as a bolt of lightning splitting a mast.
I could care for you, if I chose to.
__
In which Frenchie unofficially usurps Izzy as first mate, and they both also fall in love a little bit.
Featuring an entirely baffled and unwillingly charmed Izzy Hands, Frenchie playing the long game, Edward Teach Makes a Friend, Fang And Ivan My Beloveds, a suitably murderous Jim Jimenez, and a very spiteful and pissed off ghost in the walls.
[COMPLETE]

“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”
“Um- you know- crow’s nest things. Looking mostly.” Frenchie swallows, his mouth suddenly very very dry.
“And can you tell me exactly when you were told that was your duty today?” Izzy crosses his arms and glares up at Frenchie, he notices that the smaller man looks awfully tired.
“You know, in the morning, some time.”Or in which Frenchie saves the day in a rare moment of sanity and somehow manages to fall his way into seducing Izzy Hands of all people.

It was supposed to be a fresh start.
But then the screaming started, and even though Mr Pike is gripping his hand tight, he cannot help but be terrified all over again.
