Fics like The Abyss Between Us

COMPLETE --- After the final battle with Luke, Percy sacrifices himself to stop the spread of monsters, plunging into Tartarus, knowing he might never return to the surface. Five years later, Percy remains alive but broken, grappling with who he wants to be and who he needs to become to survive. As he grapples with the cost of his sacrifice and the darkness within, Percy must confront the truth that he can never fully escape his legacy or the world that still needs him. “Is it worth it?” I asked before I could stop myself, “Leaving this place?” Bob didn’t answer right away. Instead, he took a deep breath, his massive shoulders rising and falling. He stared at the red sky, as if contemplating the question himself. “I think it is,” he finally said. “I think it’s worth it, because staying here is worse than what’s out there. Out there, there’s hope. There’s a chance. Here, it is just... darkness.” He gave a wistful smile. “And I’ve been here long enough, Percy. I don’t think I want to stay anymore.”
