Hey guys, this is only my second ever, so many reviews are appreciated. I hope you enjoy. I thought about this soon after finishing the series, and finally got to write it down. This takes place right after Grover is given his gift, before Annabeth and Percy. This is only part 1 of... well i'm not sure how many. I guess it depends on if anyone likes it haha. Enjoy!!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, and some of the dialogue is taken from TLO, but much of it is my original words.

"Annabeth Chase, my own daughter." Athena said.

"And Perseus Jackson, my son." Poseidon said.

The room went silent. Every demigod, Cyclopes, minor god, and anyone else in the room, not to mention the entire council, had their eyes on us. We looked at each other, then walked up to our parents and kneeled. We then walked over and stood next to each other. I could feel the tension in the air. I wasn't sure what they were going to do.

"The council has seen the bravery of all of our children. We knew you were fighting the enemy's armies on your own, and can also see that even through the great struggle, you were all triumphant. But you, Annabeth, and you, Percy, have proven yourselves more worthy than any other hero in many millennia. You used your wits, strength, and courage to defend this city and our seats of power. Annabeth, you made Luke remember himself long enough to fight against Kronos's influence. Percy, you fought him single-handedly multiple times, led our children into battle after battle, and defeated countless enemies on your own, thus saving Olympus. There is very little we could ever do to completely thank you, but we have agreed to offer you two things: One of which is your choice, one of which is ours."

"Annabeth," Athena began. "Olympus has been basically destroyed, and though we could fix it, I wonder if there's something you would like to do. This is your choice."

"My lady? Are you saying…" Annabeth began.

"This is your choice. I cannot suggest anything further."

Annabeth got a very strange look in her eyes, as though she was stunned to have her dreams in her own hands so suddenly. "I, Annabeth Chase, ask that I be made an Architect of Olympus."

Athena smiled. "Very well. You shall be made the chief architect of Olympus, able to make us a city for the ages."

Annabeth looked as though she was going to burst into tears of joy. "I… I have to get… paper… and pencils…" her voice trailed off. I waited for it to be my turn.

"Percy," my father began. "What would you like for your gift to be? I would like to hear your choice."

There were so many choices to make. I wanted Beckendorff, Silena, Michael, and all of my friends who had died for this war to be alive. I wanted to serve my father. I wanted to be so many things. But how could I choose? Finally, I thought about Ethan Nakamura and how he just wanted his recognition for his mother. I thought about how Luke had betrayed everyone because he believed the god's didn't care. And I made my decision.

"I, Perseus Jackson, ask that all of the children, of all the gods, be recognized. No more undetermined demigods past their 13th birthday. The minor gods should also have a place at camp. And Hades should have a cabin as well. The peaceful Titans should be pardoned, and the pact of the Big Three dissolved. It didn't work anyway. But Thalia, Nico, and I have proven that even your children can be heroes. Father, this war wouldn't have happened if so many demigods hadn't felt abandoned or unwelcome by their parents. That is my wish. That all demigods of all the gods be respected and claimed."

The council looked stunned and angry. I was afraid I was about to be blasted to bits, when Athena spoke up, "I believe the boy is right. Let us not repeat the mistakes of our past, but start a new age of acceptance."

"The council accepts both of your wishes." Zeus said, rather grudgingly (at only mine i'm sure). "Now that you have chosen your gift, we must discuss our gift to you." The crowd left the room, taking us with them. Ages seemed to go by before we were once again summoned into the room.

"I ask that all present in this room testify to how worthy to be called the greatest heroes of our age these two are."

There was a murmuring of strong agreement. "In that case," Zeus continued, "Annabeth Chase and Perseus Jackson, I will offer you a gift that we have not bestowed in many millennia. We, the council, offer to both of you god-hood. You shall be immortal, undying, serving Olympus in your choosing for all time."

Annabeth and I looked at each other, shocked. I turned around and caught the eyes of several campers, who smiled at us. The Stoll brothers gave us two thumbs up. Even Clarisse nodded and managed a small grin. Thalia looked like she was about to tear up. Nico looked younger than he had in a long time (after all, he would finally be accepted at camp half blood, my gift to him for all the help he gave me).

I looked back at Annabeth, who looked happier than I'd seen her in a very long time. All of her dreams were coming true. She would be an architect forever, serving her mother and building a city that would last for eternity.

I could serve as my father's lieutenant for all time, never dying. I could be with Tyson and my father in his underwater palace for all eternity.

But more than any of that, I looked at Annabeth and realized we could be together for the rest of time. I wanted it. I wanted it bad. And looking at Annabeth, I knew she did too. Her gaze met mine and we both smiled.

"I, Perseus Jackson, accept the council's offer of god-hood." I said.

"And I, Annabeth Chase, except the council's offer of goddess-hood." Annabeth echoed.

The council smiled, Poseidon and Athena the widest. "Come, heroes. We journey towards your immortality." Zeus said as he stood. The council stood as well, and all but our parents teleported out of the hall.

The crowd around us cheered and clapped us on the back. They told us to visit and keep in touch. And then, smiling widely, we walked towards our parents.

"Come with me. We don't want to keep the council waiting." Poseidon told me.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"You'll find out soon enough." He said, winking.

Annabeth and Athena walked over.

"Are you ready children?" Athena said, smiling.

"Yes, mother. I truly am." Annabeth replied. I nodded. We were going to be together forever in Olympus, serving the gods. And we could finally be happy. The last thing I saw before Poseidon and Athena transported us was that of all of my friends, smiling at us, truly happy for us at the reward we were being given. I looked at Annabeth and held out my hand. Gratefully, she took it as we vanished.
