So I've been reading a bunch of "Mortals Meet Percabeth" stories, and I really like the idea behind it. However, the execution of the stories, isn't the best. Cringy Plots, Poor Writing, etc, made me want to create my own Mortals Meet Percabeth stories, by refining some "Mortals Meet Percabeth" stories. I don't own Percy Jackson or any of the characters, and this is heavily inspired by "Mortals Meet Percabeth" stories on Wattpad, (Obviously). Please leave comments suggesting ideas for future chapters or else there will probably be not a lot of chapters since these are one shots. Also, I am a guy, so if the girl POVs are written a bit oddly, whoops.TL;DR: Revised "Mortals Meet Percabeth" stories, leave suggestions with ideas in comments.
