Ohhh, Tartarus and Nyx as parents for Percy? That's such a cool and rare twist! I love how fanfic writers dive into the darker, more mysterious aspects of the 'Percy Jackson' universe. One fic that really stuck with me is 'Shadows of the Abyss'—Percy isn't just a son of Poseidon here but gets this eerie, powerful heritage from Tartarus and Nyx. The author nails the atmosphere, with Percy struggling between his old lighthearted self and this newfound darkness that keeps pulling him in. The interactions between him and Nico are especially intense, since Nico's already got that Underworld connection. There's also a great slow-burn romance with Annabeth, where she's trying to understand what's happening to him while he's slowly becoming something... other.
Another gem is 'Eclipse of the Gods', where Percy's lineage gives him abilities that even the Olympians fear. The writer explores how Nyx’s influence makes him a master of shadows, while Tartarus fuels this uncontrollable rage. The plot revolves around a prophecy that hints Percy might overthrow Olympus, and the way the gods react to that threat is both terrifying and fascinating. What I adore is how the fic doesn’t just make Percy edgy for the sake of it—there’s real emotional weight as he grapples with loyalty to his friends versus the pull of his primal instincts. The battle scenes are epic, but it’s the quieter moments, like Percy talking to Bob in the Underworld, that hit the hardest.
If you're into shorter but punchy fics, 'Night’s Embrace' is a solid pick. Percy’s bond with Nyx is front and center here, and it’s less about battles and more about the psychological toll of being part Primordial. The writing’s poetic, almost dreamlike, especially in scenes where Nyx manipulates his dreams. It’s a character study more than anything, but the world-building around Tartarus’s influence on Percy’s demigod abilities is super creative—like his blood being acidic or his voice causing tremors. The ending’s ambiguous, which might frustrate some, but it fits the eerie vibe perfectly.

Zeno Silver: If I had to describe Rogue Alpha, I'd say a surly, temperamental pain in my ass, and if possible, everywhere else. Never would I dare assume a deal my father made would drive me right into the arms of the monster himself. I had become Alpha a few months ago, and all I wanted was to protect my people. I brought peace, well, sort of, yet the consequences came in the form of an unwanted husband. Alpha Hades: I never labelled myself, especially regarding my sexuality. Not that I had enough time to experiment when my life was a vicious cycle of grief and pain, but these days, I found myself becoming the leader, the Alpha of an unstoppable army. I knew what I wanted when I took the deal: easy access to my enemies' pack. Exchanging false vows with an Alpha leading the pack that would become the perfect pawn in my plan sounded like a no-brainer. Except my stomach flipped every time he looked my way, and my body reacted when he brushed by me. He had an effect on me that I'd never wish on anyone. With this connection between us, this pull, this need... I'm not sure either of us is still playing the game.

"That doesn't mean we have to keep them locked up." Aphrodite states.
The gods turn as they hear the door opens slamming against the wall. There stand the triples. A look of surprise spreads across everyone's face.
"What the hell did you do to your hair and are those tattoos?" Poseidon asks.
"We dyed it, and yes they are tattoos and we also got a few body piercings" Kylani answers.
"We will not stay hidden away or kept locked up. We have no interest in this life. We are going to walk on the earth with the supernatural and humans. They accept us more than you do." Mykenzie announces.
The girls vanish at that moment. Chris stands there with a look of regret in his eyes. He knew this was coming. They wanted sweet, innocent goddesses like their mother and aunts. What they got was an attitude in a 5'4" package only doubled.

My wife, Cassia, was a wood nymph. A cursed one. Forbidden to love mortals.
But she fell for me anyway. Every time her heart fluttered for me, the gods struck her down with agony.
She willingly endured that torture ninety-nine times just for a chance to be with me.
Then, demons dragged me to Tartarus. Hellfire and whips became my sun and moon.
Right as I was about to break, I remembered a prayer Cassia taught me—a desperate whisper to the gods.
It finally worked. But instead of help, I heard Cassia talking to her patron goddess, Hecate.
"Cassia, how could you bargain with the Furies? You let them drag Aiden to Tartarus!"
Cassia's voice choked with desperate tears. "Adonis was supposed to suffer this fate. But he's a fragile mortal. This would destroy his soul! I had no choice if I wanted to save him."
"Aiden is a child of prophecy. His soul is strong. The Fates watch over him. He'll survive."
"Once I save Adonis, I can stay in the mortal realm forever. Then, I'll use my eternal life and all my love to repay the hell he's enduring for me."
My heart shattered.
As the monsters closed in on me, I stopped fighting. I gave up.
Hades was well-cast to rule over the land of the dead. But what if Hades, the fearsome monarch of the Underworld was, in fact, a goddess? Everyone called her, 'Lord of the Dead' out of mockery since she prefers the company of women. She was considered an isolated and violent immortal, who loathed change and was easily given to a slow black rage like no others.
But then everything changed when the dark goddess met the daughter of Demeter, Persephone. Now the tale of Hades and Persephone will be retold with a sprinkle of twists and turns.
I was Apollo’s most devoted follower, the lover he handpicked from a sea of worshippers.
With me, he’d always shed his divine arrogance. He was so tender, so attentive. I actually thought he loved me to the bone.
Until seven days before our Consort Ceremony, when I used my gift of prophecy to peek into our future together.
I expected to see a lifetime of blinding love. Instead, I saw him violently tangled in the sheets with my adopted sister, Cassandra.
Wrapped around him, Cassandra giggled. "You're so good to me, my Lord. Thanks to you, I'll finally get my sister's Sight and take her place as High Priestess."
And Apollo—my god, my lover—smiled down at her with pure adoration. "Whatever makes you happy, little bird. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have played pretend for this long, let alone allow her to become a god's consort."
In that split second, my heart turned to ash. My faith shattered into a million pieces.
With seven days left until the ceremony, I didn't confront them. Instead, I fell to my knees before the altar of Hades, Lord of the Underworld.
"I offer you my gift of prophecy. I will be your most loyal follower in exchange for your sanctuary."
"Please. Take me away from here. Take me somewhere Apollo can never find me."
Oh, diving into Percy Jackson fanfiction is like stumbling into a hidden cabin at Camp Half-Blood—there’s endless treasure if you know where to look! My go-to spots are Archive of Our Own (AO3) and FanFiction.net. AO3’s tagging system is chef’s kiss—you can filter by tropes like 'Percabeth angst' or 'Olympus politics AU.' I once binge-read a 200k-word slow burn where Percy and Annabeth rebuild New Rome post-war, and it wrecked me in the best way. Tumblr also has hidden gems if you dig through rec lists; some writers crosspost snippets there before uploading full chapters.
For niche cravings, check out Discord servers dedicated to Riordanverse fic. I joined one last year and found this surreal AU where Percy’s a jazz musician and the gods run a speakeasy. Wattpad’s hit-or-miss, but sorting by 'completed works' helps avoid abandoned stories. Pro tip: Bookmark authors like 'seaweedbrainwrites'—their character voices are scarily accurate to Rick Riordan’s style.
Oh, the Percy Jackson fandom is such a creative playground! I’ve definitely stumbled across some wild AUs where Percy’s lineage gets twisted into something darker—like being the son of Tartarus and Nyx. There’s this one fic called 'Shadows of the Underworld' that reimagines Percy as a primordial demigod, torn between his loyalty to Camp Half-Blood and the eerie pull of his chaotic heritage. The author really leans into the gothic vibes, with Nyx’s influence making Percy’s shadow powers borderline terrifying. Tartarus’s role is more abstract, like a constant whisper of destruction in his mind. It’s not canon-compliant at all, but the way the writer explores Percy’s internal conflict—struggling with instincts that clash with his hero complex—is weirdly compelling.
Another angle I’ve seen is crossovers with 'Hades' (the game), where Percy’s lineage ties into Zagreus’s story. Some fics frame Nyx as a reluctant mentor, while Tartarus is less a father and more a sentient prison trying to reclaim him. The prose in these tends to be lush, almost poetic, with lots of underworld imagery. Honestly, the best part of these fics isn’t just the power scaling—it’s how they reinterpret Percy’s snarky personality to fit a kid who grew up fearing his own potential. If you dig morally gray protagonists, this niche is worth a deep dive.
If you're hunting for 'Percy Jackson: Son of Tartarus and Nyx' fanfiction, you're in for a wild ride! The best spots I’ve found are Archive of Our Own (AO3) and FanFiction.net. AO3, especially, has a ton of creative takes on Percy’s lineage being tied to primordial deities like Tartarus and Nyx. The tagging system there is a lifesaver—just search for 'Percy Jackson' and filter by 'Alternate Universe' or 'Godly Parent Swap' tags. Some writers really go all out with the mythology, weaving in darker themes or exploring Percy’s potential powers as a child of the abyss. I stumbled on one called 'Shadows of the Primordial' that had Percy grappling with his connection to Nyx, and it was chef’s kiss—so atmospheric and packed with lore.
Another gem is Wattpad, though it’s a bit hit-or-miss. The platform’s algorithm can surface hidden treasures if you dig deep enough. I’ve bookmarked a few where Percy’s dynamic with the Olympians shifts dramatically because of his 'villainous' heritage. Tumblr also has some micro-fics and headcanon threads if you prefer bite-sized content. Just a heads-up: some stories might be abandoned mid-way, but the ones that are complete? Totally worth the binge. It’s fascinating how fans reimagine Percy’s journey with this twist—way more intense than canon!
I've stumbled across a few fics that explore Percy as a son of Tartarus and Nyx, though completed ones are like finding a rare gem in a dragon's hoard. The idea itself is fascinating—imagine Percy with the darkness of Nyx and the primal chaos of Tartarus woven into his demigod abilities. One standout I remember is 'Shadows of the Underworld,' which delves into Percy's struggle with these sinister inheritances while trying to remain loyal to Camp Half-Blood. The fic wrapped up with a bittersweet confrontation between Percy and the Olympians, leaving his fate ambiguous but deeply poetic. Another, 'Eclipse of the Gods,' took a more action-packed route, with Percy leading a rebellion of minor deities. It concluded neatly, though some readers wanted more closure for side characters.
What makes these stories compelling isn't just the power fantasy but the moral complexity. Percy isn't just OP; he's torn between his humanity and the abyss within him. If you're hunting for completed works, try filtering by 'complete' on AO3 or FF.net, and don't skip the shorter one-shots—some pack a punch in under 10k words. I'd love to see more authors tackle this premise, especially with Nyx's enigmatic presence in mythology.
