2 months agoGlad to see you back and full of energy!I loved the original and I'm sure I'll love this rewrite just as much, if not more. Glad you've figured yourself out a little more over the last few years as well, if the lipstick comment is anything to go by.(Also, if you were 17 when you wrote the original, huge kudos to you for the level of writing involved, I'm not sure I could have written anything that well when I was 17)

2 months agoI'm so excited about this reboot! It already feels a lot more polished, I'm very excited to see what other changes you're going to implement. Thank you for making this a separate fic in the series too! I really like being able to go back and compare what changes were made 💖

2 months agoBravo for having the courage to rewrite an old story. Even just a chapter in I can see how much you've grown as a writer. Your first version of this was my favorite fic in this fandom, I'm sure I'll be rabid for this version of it. I'm very interested in seeing what is going to happen to deserve the 'gods being gods' tag along with 'possessive Apollo', might we perhaps see hints of his darker side sometimes? Man that would be amazing, I love how multifaceted Apollo is as a god, one moment the playful protector of youth, the next the wrathful punisher of hubris. I hope even if you can write smut now you keep in at least a little Apollo being confused at his not wife.

2 months agothis is 100% the best thing that has ever happened. ever. i was talking with my gf about my favorite fanfics on ao3 and telling her how sad i was that “and i will swallow my pride (in hopes of a final goodbye)” was uncompleted — just to realize you had updated it yesterday when i clicked on it to send her the link???? i’m so glad you’re back!!! i have to admit that i’ve been reading the 15 original chapters at least once every 6 or 7 months to feel something again so to say that i am absolutely stoked over this is a understatement! <333

2 months agoIf it's a new timeline, can't she change things like Iphigenie's death ? I mean, there's several versions of the myth to begin with and Artemis would probably appreciate the idea of taking the girl for herself.

2 months agoAre u still going to add Olivia to the story? That part of the story was so cute and fluffy and it may not be such a badass moment but it was sweet and showed Rhea’s humanity peaking through the godliness(?)?? Anyways thank you so much for revisiting this I have been rereading the previous story again and again HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH😇😇😇

LittleGrimHood
2 months agoBut this is definitely my favourite fanfic about percy jacksonAt least Rhea has the boon of being a daughter of Poseidon so she can hide in the ocean if she feels she needs a break, and even when Poseidon doesn't like his children he sometimes does the bare minimum like punishing Odysseus for blinding his son Polyphemus, so he isn't the worst father to have when it comes to gods

2 months agongl rereading this and the previous version, but i kinda rlly want rhea to be in her piracy era like thats such a good look on her

2 months ago😂😂 I love this update!! Poor Rhea is thinking too much like a modern new Yorker not a woman living in the Trojan war.
riva_arora2
2 months agoReally loved it. But I missed the courting you wrote in the earlier book. It was funny to see Apollo flustered and asking what to do from Artemis
Chapter 1
2 months agohopefully Poseidon will be a good parent in this timelineIf Rhea is his frist and only demi-goddess in both timelines the world best not mess with his little one
CaFay
2 months agoWhen I tell you, this killed me. it killed meFor a while, she even worried if it was her and that she would be making some discovery about herself soon, but she quickly dismissed that idea.That is such a Percy thought or in this case Rhea thought.
Okayneighbour
2 months agoAnd I will be rereading this again and again until it’s completed because this story lives rent free in my brain
