groundhog day AU, where percy died in the giants war against gaia

— but then he wakes up, back in the wolf house, unscathed

now with all of his memories intact, his past, his journey with argo ii, tartarus, death, everything, along with the pain and trauma
but he doesn't understand — it all felt like a fever dream to him, he relived everything exactly the way he did before, and he was the only one who remembered

he goes on the alaska quest, sails in argo ii, parts way w annabeth, falls into tartarus, dies in battle, the same way
then he wakes up again in the wolf house, unscathed, fully allives, all of his memories fully intact

he feels like he starting to get a grasp of reality, but still, he doesn't dare to make any drastic changes along the way
even the little changes that percy makes have their own growing effects on the time progression

percy tries to warn his friends, minimalize the danger along the journey

but they all looks at him like he's joking, when spits out some very specific truth, it only scares them
"seaweed brain, you're scaring me," annabeth told him.

he doesn't want annabeth to worry, so he keeps things to himself, he does his part of the jobs, still giving out warnings but in a more subtle manner
this time, the small acts of precautions that percy takes lead to a bigger impact

the things that percy said made annabeth hesitates in the middle of her solo quest, thus resulting in her failure, annabeth dies in arachne's chamber
when percy and the rest of the crew comes to the rescue, annabeth's body is already lying lifeless on the crumbling floor, it eventually falls down to tartarus

percy is furious, he couldn't think straight, at first he waits, nothing happens, he gets an idea
he doesn't even know wether it would work, he doesn't even know wether he connects the right dots or just telling himself lies

but he doesn't think much

he draws riptide, stabs his own abdomen, and kills himself

his crews screaming in the background
percy wakes up again in the wolf house, unscathed, all of his memories intact

the first thing that washes over him is guilt, the fact that he had drawn his sword and drove it into himself so easily, despite not knowing wether or not it would work
as much as he loves annabeth, shes not the only variable in his life

he still got his mom, tyson, grover, and more

and he didn't even thought of them

what would happen if his stunt didn't work as planned?

what would they think if they found out that percy had killed himself?
