Fanfic / The Jackson Legacy

"Prophecies, blah-blah-blah, fate of the world lies in one child, yeah, we get those a lot. Mind if I request for something new and refreshing?"

- Mr. Flamingo He's actually Leo.

The Jackson Legacy is a Percy Jackson and the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus fan fiction written by notyourleo, well-known for writing Leo/Piper stories, notably The Bridges Ablaze.

Seven years after the events of The Heroes of Olympus, Percy Jackson mysteriously disappears from the face of the earth. His "disappearance" causes a lot of problems for the demigods, mainly half-bloods being chased and hunt down by monsters more often than usual, especially the Prophetical Seven from the second series, which forced them to go into hiding and travel from one place into another, and basically lives just got harder for all of them.

Jump another seven years later, a boy name Peter, a kid who knows of the godly world for a long time through his brother's storytelling but never truly believed in it until recently, comes to Camp Half-Blood and claims to be Percy Jackson's young mortal brother. He also claims to know where the missing Percy Jackson is, thanks to a dream, despite actually not knowing where his brother actually is. Peter is then forced to go on a quest to find his older brother, and he is dragged into a series of events where he discovers dark secrets that Percy did not include in his stories.

The first original fifteen chapters has been taken down by the author, and the revised first chapter is up. The author plans to rewrite the story from scratch under the name title, Graveyard Of Heroes. You can still read the original chapters here.

Current stories in the series:

• An Act Of Defiance (on hiatus)
  • Road Of Defiance
• Graveyard Of Heroes (formerly The Jackason Legacy; currently being rewritten)
  • Valley Of Secrets (written by another author.)

A Character page is under construction. Character tropes, this way, please.

"An Act of Defiance" has been deleted.

Not to be confused with anything related to Michael Jackson.

The whole series provides examples of:

Graveyard Of Heroes

• Another Dimension: Nameless is implied to be this.
• Ascended Fanboy: Peter grew up to listening to Percy's stories about his adventures when he was a teenager, thinking that they're just make-believed bed time stories, but Peter wishes he was just as cool as his older brother. Then years later...
• Authority Equals Asskicking: Leo is second leader of the infamous Esperanza. Do not get in his way. Or eat fire.

• Dark and Troubled Past: Good lord, Leo, what the hell happened to you the last decade?

• I Just Want to Be Special: Peter seems to wish he was born a half-blood and fight monsters, just like Percy.
• Improbable Weapon User: Despite being equipped with a dagger, Peter created a weapon with a lighter and a can of spray to defeat a lone wolf. Justified, the wolf's hide was thick and couldn't be penetrated by a blade.
• It May Help You on Your Quest: Peter receives a lot of cool things early in the story, and they are eventually used in some way.
• I Will Find You: Peter towards Percy.

• No Body Left Behind: What makes some think that Percy is still alive.
• Older and Wiser: The canon characters in the story.
• Unfazed Everyman: Peter.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Leon and Claire.
• Running Gag: Leo's fondness of the color pink.
• Self-Insert Fic: In-universe example. Leo and Percy tell then-thought fictional stories about themselves to children.
• Shout-Out:
  • In chapter eleven, one of the people in the list is "Andrew Wiggin".
  • The author mentioned in one of the author's notes that the names Leon and Claire are inspired by a certain survival horror game.
• Smoking Is Cool: Subverted with Leo. He didn't like smoke, but he needed something to mask his demigod scent.
• Spotlight-Stealing Squad: The canons when they are in a chapter, especially Leo. The author is trying very hard to avert this.
• Someday This Will Come in Handy: The things that the adults keep giving Peter. And also, Peter's knowledge about the godly world.

• In Medias Res: The prologue of An Act Of Defiance.
• Set Right What Once Went Wrong
• Shoutout: Leo asks Hera for a deLorean.
• Stable Time Loop
• Reset Button: The reason why Leo and Piper went to the past is because the past was suddenly changed (because of what Leo and Piper had done, whatever it was) and an AU timeline clashed to the current timeline they currently live in and the two timelines was slowly merging into one, with the AU timeline dominating. It's making a total mess. Greece and Rome is destroyed, Gaea has fully risen, basically the world has gone to hell. It's...it's really complicated.
  • The ending of Road Of Defiance has the opening lines of The Lost Hero.
