Summary
"She’d spent her whole life with her nose to practicality’s grindstone. And didn’t want to do it anymore. She’d always gone through with what needed to be done. Whether it was caring for her brother while he died or making her own way to lighten her dad’s burden. There had never been any room for her feelings — or for her hopes or her dreams. But she could make room now. She could let herself dream and hope for this future child. For this little bean...
It wasn't long before she fell into a deep sleep. A few hours before her alarm sounded, her body woke her up instead. She felt wet between her thighs. Thinking it was a collection of the discharge she’d been lightly experiencing, she clamped the top half of her legs together and took short steps to the bathroom. When she turned on the light, she noticed a trail of droplets behind her. She looked down and saw trickles of red blood streaming down her thighs."Or: an alternative explanation of why Juliette said yes to the sheriff's job

To Be Mortal by H L Ferrier (promethean_scrollsmith)
Fandoms: Percy Jackson and the Olympians - Rick Riordan

Tags
Summary
Witness the first steps towards a full-scale Olympian civil war!
7 years after The Trials of Apollo, the mythological world is at peace. Olympus remains unchallenged, Percy and Annabeth have grown up and matured.
Enter two new characters: A human scientist who refuses to look away, and a demigod with a mysterious past. Their arrival shakes the foundations of the mythological world and reveals just how fragile its peace is.
To Be Mortal is the first of a planned four book series: The Promethean Flame. A series that aims to expand the lore of the PJO universe, while also exploring the clash between mythology and human science. All with a generous helping of slow-burn romance, of course!
Percy, Annabeth, Rachel, and more are here, older and wiser; but this is a new story, built on the foundations of the old.
(Three Acts, ten chapters each. New chapters every Thursday)
