Percy Jackson | Ideas #1

So... I had an idea on my mind, and decided to share it. It goes something like this: One day, both Hades and Persephone, unbeknownst to each other, decide to create an Avatar —a term that might change. In essence, an Avatar is a human saved from being stillborn when a god or goddess imbues them with a fragment of their own divinity. This act turns the infant into an extension of the god's being. Gods typically do this when they're bored but too busy to personally engage in entertainment. The Avatar remains unaware of their divine origins, and the god or goddess only gains access to their Avatar’s memories and experiences upon their death.

In this scenario, Hades and Persephone each secretly create an Avatar while apart —Persephone is staying with her mother during the warmer months, and Demeter, as always, tries to keep her and Hades separated. To combat her isolation, Persephone creates her Avatar in secret.

By a strange twist of fate, both Avatars meet while at school. They spend seven years together, eventually marry, and have a child. Tragically, a year after the child's birth, they are murdered and their house is destroyed. With their deaths, Hades and Persephone suddenly receive the flood of memories, emotions, and experiences of their respective Avatars.

Now, Hades and Persephone face a dilemma. Hades had sworn off fathering any more children after the events of World War II and the Great Prophecy, while Persephone had never had a demigod child before. Nervous, Persephone confesses to Hades what she had done, barely giving him a chance to react. To her surprise, Hades isn't angry. Instead, he reveals that something about her story felt familiar—because his Avatar was married to hers.

They are now confronted with a new, even more perplexing problem: Their Avatars had a child together... but what did that mean for the child —and for them?

LoZ | Ideas #1

Some time ago, I found a fanfic written by Makuro767 that I found very interesting. It was about Link from Breath of the Wild being reincarnated in the body of Harry Potter.

What was really intriguing was that Link remembered all of his past lives, from the one before Hylia sent the Hylians to Skyloft to the years he spent as Zelda's personal knight before the Calamity struck. However, he couldn’t remember Zelda herself.

It was a really cool fanfic —It's a shame it’s been on hiatus since 24/09/2022— with a fascinating premise. But it got me thinking! What if someone were to write a fanfic about Link being reincarnated in Percy Jackson's world, just like Makuro767 did with Link being reincarnated in Harry Potter?

Like, Link would be reincarnated as a demigod —or he could simply be reincarnated as Percy, but I honestly didn’t like that idea because:

I didn’t think being the son of Poseidon fit Link well, and

I like Percabeth and I like Zelink. Since the idea was to do something similar to Makuro767's fic, where Link was in love with Zelda even if he didn’t remember her, and she was still in Hyrule fighting against Calamity Ganon and thus couldn’t technically be reincarnated into Annabeth, this could be a problem.

So, to solve this, I thought of making him the son of a god or goddess related to the wild, like Artemis, for example.

What do you all think?

Now that I think about it, he would definitely be a child of Artemis —not just because of her association with the Wild, but also due to her connection with the moon.

I've read plenty of headcanons suggesting that the Fierce Deity is not only a God of War, Justice, and the Wild, but also a Moon God. It would make perfect sense for Link to be the child of a Goddess associated with both the Wild and the Moon.

Sure, they might not be related in the official canon, but I like the idea and there are enough headcanons about the Fierce Deity following a similar path as Hylia —becoming the first Link and allowing a fragment of himself to become the soul of every Hero's reincarnation. I think it would be hilarious and fascinating to explore this idea, especially as Link starts tapping into divine powers his mother doesn’t possess, leaving the other Olympians scrambling to form their own theories.

LoZ | Ideas #1

Some time ago, I found a fanfic written by Makuro767 that I found very interesting. It was about Link from Breath of the Wild being reincarnated in the body of Harry Potter.

What was really intriguing was that Link remembered all of his past lives, from the one before Hylia sent the Hylians to Skyloft to the years he spent as Zelda's personal knight before the Calamity struck. However, he couldn’t remember Zelda herself.

It was a really cool fanfic —It's a shame it’s been on hiatus since 24/09/2022— with a fascinating premise. But it got me thinking! What if someone were to write a fanfic about Link being reincarnated in Percy Jackson's world, just like Makuro767 did with Link being reincarnated in Harry Potter?

Like, Link would be reincarnated as a demigod —or he could simply be reincarnated as Percy, but I honestly didn’t like that idea because:

I didn’t think being the son of Poseidon fit Link well, and

I like Percabeth and I like Zelink. Since the idea was to do something similar to Makuro767's fic, where Link was in love with Zelda even if he didn’t remember her, and she was still in Hyrule fighting against Calamity Ganon and thus couldn’t technically be reincarnated into Annabeth, this could be a problem.

So, to solve this, I thought of making him the son of a god or goddess related to the wild, like Artemis, for example.

What do you all think?
