    I'm not sure. Either way, I actually quite liked the scene and the change. It's different, but it works, and I don't actually think it undermines anything core to the books.

    He just ran a hand through her hair, looking at her adoringly.

    I'm having a hard time understanding what this means...

    "There's nothing to be sorry for."

    He beamed at her. "Better than okay."

    Much later, Tayen blinked awake.

    Greek mythology has no canon. There are different versions of the story, but in general Poseidon seduced her (or... worse). In addition to that, Medusa got the punishment even though Poseidon was either completely or partially to blame depending on what you go with.

    Maybe he does more generally positive things, but good things do not always happen to travellers. My point is that none of the gods are meant to be paragons, so there's nothing wrong with exposing their flaws. In fact, I'd say it's a good reminder that just because our protagonist is Poseidon's son doesn't mean Poseidon's faults are wholly excusable.

    Once they arrived, he sat and pulled her against him, content. He fell asleep for the first time in days.

    There aren't good gods, there are gods who do helpful things sometimes. And yes, in the next episodes they get helped out a bit.

    He held her hand tightly as they went to the shed.

    I think the Medusa scene was actually very good in terms of the story. It's a reminder that it's not just that some gods are "bad" and some are "good." They all are mixed in that respect, because nothing about them is supposed to represent morality. I think the reason they might fight for their own gods is partially that they are just the children of those gods, and also because in some cases the alternative (i.e. Kronos) is worse. And they don't even always fight for the gods necessarily. The lightning thief arc is for their benefit, but SoM is for Grover and Camp, TC is largely for Annabeth, stuff like that. They mean to protect themselves and camp, and the gods are sometimes helpful and sometimes nuisances.

    "Okay. Let's just go there, and we can have some more time with just the two of us."
  18. The Aspiring Archivist
    "If you want me to."
  19. The Aspiring Archivist
    He pulled her closer.
  20. The Aspiring Archivist
    "I just see none of them as proper reasons."
  21. The Aspiring Archivist
    He smiled at her again. "How could I not?"
  22. The Aspiring Archivist
    "It's not a question of putting up with you. I don't put up with all you are, I accept it, and I love it."
  23. The Aspiring Archivist
    "Then I'm glad you gave me a chance to show you."
  24. The Aspiring Archivist
    "I'm just glad that after all that, you wanted to come back to me at all."
  25. The Aspiring Archivist
    "Alright." He smiled at her, letting himself relax in her warmth.
