Writing Percy Jackson AUs (and a little sneak peek)

Now I personally am the world's biggest er for Percy Jacskson!AU stories, especially if they revolve around my favorite idols. And looking on this site I couldn't find many with the girl groups I liked. (though that list gets bigger every day) Personally I live for Red Velvet, Twice, Blackpink, Dreamcatcher and Mamamoo, but Loona, Itzy, Apink, Girls' Generation and (G)-Idle are fast becoming my new obsessions. 

This blog is basically where I'll occasionally post my thoughts on researching Greek mythology, group dynamics and where I'll also post sneak peeks of chapters (that may or may not make it into the final draft). I'll leave this with a shamless slef-plug and sneak peek at an upcoming chapter. 

https://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/1430483/i-fall-you-and-i-collide I always love hearing from people! And now without further ado, a sneak peek of an upcoming chapter (redacted of course to avoid major spoilers)

Joohyun’s voice was small. “And if I do this you swear on the River Styx that Seulgi, Seungwan, Sooyoung and Yeri will come to no harm?”

Joohyun sank to her knees in defeat. There was just no way she could defeat the REDACTED. Shadows swirled around her small form, crawling slowly towards REDACTED’s encroaching abyss, trying to hold it back for as long as possible. Even broken like this, she wouldn’t let REDACTED get away with her plan. Even if she died in the process.

Inhaling deeply, Joohyun steeled herself as REDACTED drew even closer. Nobody else needed to get hurt. The REDACTED hissed, empty black eyes honing in on the daughter of Hades. What looked like a twisted grin spread across its face.

And so falls the daughter of darkness. Foolish little demigod, thinking you could take me on alone. But don’t be afraid, Joohyun. Your friends will soon join you.

Black tendrils wrapped around Joohyun’s ankles, snuffing out her innate shadow magic and beginning to absorb her very being. In that moment she could feel the sheer hatred that drove REDACTED to madness, the desire for vengeance on all the gods for her imprisonment. She who had birthed the world, reduced to nothing but an insignificant little ant, subservient to the gods and their machinations.

Joohyun tried to fight it, and she lashed out with what remained of her powers. Shadow battled against shadow and Joohyun gritted her teeth with effort. REDACTED would win, she knew that. But she’d be damned if she died without fighting.

If only Joohyun could see Seulgi’s face one more time, to tell her what she had been afraid to. The daughter of Apollo had burned her way past Joohyun’s heart and now she wouldn’t even get to say goodbye. What she wouldn’t give to speak to her before—

“Get your grubby tentacle-hands away from her.”

Joohyun couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Light assaulted her vision and broke through the previously impenetrable cloud of nothingness. A single silhouette stood against the abyss, shining brighter than a thousand suns.

Kang Seulgi’s body glowed with an ethereal power; her eyes completely consumed by golden light. She walked towards REDACTED, her footsteps burning the ground around her and melting the darkness. As she drew closer to Joohyun a single golden tether shimmered into existence, connecting them.

Joohyun gasped as light suffused her body, chasing away the REDACTED's magic and freeing her from its grasp. She stumbled to her feet, still weak but with every passing second she could feel herself getting stronger. Seulgi reached out her hand to the daughter of Hades.

“When are you going to learn that you can’t get rid of me so easily?”

A shadowy tether entwined with the golden one, strengthening their bond. Two souls, one connection. A familiar whisper began building in the back of Joohyun’s head. Solace will come with the break of dawn.   

The REDACTED drew back from Seulgi’s light, hissing with displeasure. The abyss that swirled around its form shot out, heading straight for the pair of demigods.

“Seulgi watch out!” Joohyun tried to place herself in-between Seulgi and the incoming attack, calling for her shadows to protect them.

The blow never came though.

There was a loud, angry roar and a missile of fiery energy broke through the wall of darkness, intercepting the attack. The smoke cleared to reveal one very pissed off Sooyoung, who was clutching her spear and glaring angrily at the REDACTED.

Standing on one side, Seungwan nocked an arrow, smiling cockily at REDACTED. Yeri was on the other side, wearing a worn-out black baseball cap. The blonde maknae drew her dual daggers.

“You guys came for me,” Joohyun breathed.

“Yeah no , Sherlock,” Sooyoung growled, her smoldering red eyes trained on REDACTED. “It’s five or nothing.”

“Sooyoung’s right. Together we stand, together we fall, all that jazz. You’re stuck with us, Joohyun.” Seungwan turned back to wink suggestively at the daughter of Hades.

“And I don’t know about you unnie, but I’m dying to try out this hat your dad gave me,” Yeri sounded excited.

The REDACTED let out a furious bellow, the abyss growing even stronger. Joohyun knew she would lose in a one-on-one fight with REDACTED, but with her friends by her side?

The daughter of Hades whistled sharply and called her hellhounds to the battlefield. Kimchi appeared by her side instantly, snarling at the REDACTED and stepping protectively in front of his master. Tofu entered the battlefield next to Seulgi, nudging the daughter of Apollo with his massive head.

Everyone was here. Now the battle could truly begin.

It matters not! No one can stop me now!  

Joohyun drew her axe, its familiar weight settling in her hands and comforting her. Shifting her weapon to her left hand, her right reached for Seulgi’s. The other girl’s voice sounded in her head.

Together?

Together.

The REDACTED roared a challenge and charged for the five demigods. 

“All right ladies!” Joohyun raised her voice. “Let’s send this back to Tartarus.”

Yeri gasped, feigning offense. “Unnie! Language!”
