Here it is! Percy as Calypso!

The Wonderful Island of Ogygia
Percy was bored.
Well that wasn't new. Being stuck on an island forever wasn't exactly riveting. The gods truly did hate him.
For gods sake all he had done was fight Ares, and win. But apparently being a lowly demigod and beating the god of war equals becoming an immortal prisoner. Especially when the god of war has a love goddess for a girlfriend. Well he did insult Zeus once, twice or was it three times?
Percy sighed staring at the water. His father barely talked to him anymore. For a while Poseidon would come to Percy in his dreams but now Percy remained in solitude only wondering how much the world had changed during his thousands of years on the wretched island.
The Wonderful Island of Ogygia.
He had even begun to hate its name.
Percy wasn't always alone though. Now and then his father or maybe Hestia would come to visit him. And naturally there was the other part of his sentence.
Girls would appear on the island every now and then. And Percy would fall in love which every single one of them but they all left. And each time he was left heart broken and alone.
It happened every time. For a while Percy thought maybe they would stay. That maybeAphrodite hadn't put much thought into his curse. He was wrong.
All he wanted was human contact. He missed it so much that he fell for a girl who paid barley any attention to him and was more concerned with the fact that she couldn't get a mani pedi while on the island. Even so Percy fell for Drew.
After Drew was Rachel, the girl who had stayed the longest. She had been rich and had fallen from her yacht before making her way there. She was kind and didn't care about leaving that much. But as time wore on questions about her parents surfaced. She grew worried and like the others she had left.
It had been a long time since anyone had come to Ogygia. And Percy was actually beginning to wish that someone would.

Annabeth was not having a good day.
She hadn't expected that she would be there when a volcano blew up. And she certainly didn't plan on getting sent flying through the air and crash land in some water.
She opened her eyes with a pained groan finding herself on a bed. She sat up slowly wincing. She had bandages around her torso and a homemade bubble wrap cast. Her arms were bruised and wrapped as well.
Where was she?
Against her body's protest she stood. And once the world stopped spinning she looked around finding herself in a cave of some sort. A fully furnished cave. There was a bed, kitchen and a table- set for one. She noticed her dagger placed on a shelf and she quickly took it. She walked out the kitchen into blinding light.
Outside was a large garden with many types of food. She saw some foot prints following them her dagger at the ready.
She followed them to a small pool of water where a raven haired boy was lying facedown. Did he drown? She wondered immediately. She stood frozen for a moment but the boy never moved. So, Annabeth cursed, quickly dropped her dagger and grabbing the boy pulling him out.
"Hey!" He shouted pushing away from her and Annabeth jumped back in surprise. He stood up and glared at her with crossed arms. "Can't a guy sleep? I mean you were sleeping in my bed. So why can't I sleep in water!?"
Annabeth stared at him blankly. "S-sorry. I thought you drowned..."
The boy rolled his eyes and put his hands in his pockets. And at that moment Annabeth realized he was completely dry.
"You're a son of Poseidon," she said in disbelief.
He nodded. "And I assume you're a daughter of Athena?"
Annabeth nodded. "But Poseidon never broke the oath."
"Oath?" He asked cocking his head to one side. "Oh yes, I remember now. The Big Three's oath to have no more demigods. Tell me how many times has that been broken?"
"So you're not a demigod?" Annabeth asked ignoring his question.
"You're still weak," he told her. "We can talk inside."
Annabeth couldn't exactly argue with that. She walked back the way she had come to the cave. The boy gestured to the bed where Annabeth slowly sat before he grabbed something out a bowl and pulled up a chair to sit in front of her. He then held out an apple for her.
Annabeth was about decline when her stomach growled. She blushed and bit the fruit.
"How long was I out?" Annabeth asked.
He shrugged. "Time is strange here on Ogygia. So it's impossible to say how much time since you left."
"Ogygia...?" Then it clicked. She finally stared at the sea greened eyed boy in front her. She had seen his face before. "You're Perseus... You were sent to Ogygia for... insulting Aphrodite?"
Perseus gave a short laugh. "Is that what they tell people? Not even close blondie."
"My name is Annabeth," she said harshly.
Perseus raised his hand in an I surrender manner. "That's not what happened. Ares was being an ___ and insulted me. I attacked him and I won. He complained to Aphrodite who talked to Zeus-who also hates me- and boom I'm here. Because Ares is a cowardly ____."
Thunder rumbled loudly at his comment and Annabeth tensed. "Shut up Drama Queen!" He shouted. Thunder rumbled again. "You're only proving my point." Thunder rumbled much quieter this time.
Annabeth stared at him in shock.
"What year is it?" He asked suddenly.
"...2009."
He let out a low whistle. "Wow, I feel old..."
There was a short pause before he stood. "Well you should rest up some more. Whatever happened to you banged you up pretty good. Sleep and then we can change your bandages later."
He left then heading out the cave. Annabeth watched him go before she laid down. She was on Ogygia. The famed island where girls where sent to meet with Perseus, who would fall in love with-
Annabeth's eyes widened.

When Annabeth woke up next it was dark out. Perseus sat in the entrance of the cave.
Annabeth got up and went over to sit next to him. They sat in silence.
"Isn't there another way off the island?" Annabeth asked him finally.
He didn't answer as he stared out at the moon.
"Perseus?"
"It's Percy," he corrected. "And no. Until the raft comes... you're stuck here. That's my curse."
"There must be another way."
"That's what all of them say," Percy said quietly.
Silence fell over the two again.
"So... What's your story?" Percy asked her.
Annabeth nodded and started to speak. She found herself telling him everything. From her family issues to the war. He asked her questions about the outside world. Curious about absolutely everything.
They talked until the sun came up.

The more time Annabeth spent with Percy on the island the less she wanted to leave. Sure the war back home needed her but she didn't want to leave Percy either. She had been on the island for a six days Ogygia time.
"I can help," she repeated.
"You rest," he said as he continued to prepare breakfast.
"I've been resting for days let me help."
"Nope."
"You're such a Seaweed Brain," she smiled.
"That's nice Wise Girl," he replied. She wasn't sure where the nicknames had come from but she liked it nevertheless.
"Let me help."
"I would, but... I'm done," he smiled putting an omelet in front of her.
"Thanks," she smiled taking a bite. "So good. How did you learn how to cook?"
"Didn't have much choice but to figure it out. Hestia comes by now and then and teaches me some things too," he answered.
~~~~
After breakfast Annabeth helped him with the dishes and they walked in the garden. Percy walked over and picked up a small plant in a pot. Annabeth recognized it as the Moonlace they talked about the night before.
"Thanks," she smiled.
Annabeth wasn't sure who started it but both of them slowly leaned forward.
"I thank you daughter of Athena."
Annabeth pulled back from Percy to look over her shoulder where Hephaestus stood.
"Lord Hephaestus," Annabeth said with a bow. Percy only gave a curt nod to the god.
"You have helped me and now I shall return you to your home as repayment," the god said. Annabeth looked up at him and nodded slowly. She turned to look at Percy who was already walking back up toward to cave. She turned back toward Hephaestus who nodded and she ran up to catch up with Percy.
"You forget something?" He asked quietly as she caught up to him. He didn't turn to face her but kept walking.
"Yeah," she replied grabbing his arm to spin him around. Once he faced her she pulled him down for a kiss.
When they parted Annabeth stepped back. "I'm coming back."
"No one finds Ogygia twice."
"It just hasn't happened yet."
"Go Annabeth. You're fighting a war," he said turning and walking away.
~~~~
"Need some help?"
Percy froze from where he stood making himself breakfast at the familiar voice. He turned around to see a smiling blonde.
"Miss me Seaweed Brain?"
"How?" He asked in disbelief.
"We won the war. I got a wish in return for fighting. Part of that wish, was to free you."
"Only part of it?" He smirked.
Annabeth laughed. "Pack your bags. You're dad is coming to bring us to Olympus in ten minutes."
"You're serious?" He asked in disbelief. Annabeth pulled him in for a kiss.
He stared at Annabeth when the separated. "Are you really sure you're serious?"
Annabeth laughed. "Come on, I'll help you pack."
Percy smiled as he followed her. Maybe Ogygia wasn't that bad after all.
