Summary
When Odysseus passed on, he expected to reawaken in the Underworld. Much to his surprise, he did not, in fact, awaken in the Underworld. Instead he’s in a strange looking house with an even stranger companion, who is also a spirit because that’s happening apparently. And there’s also the struggling, single mother, who can’t see nor hear them, and her son, who can.
Well, they don’t have anything better to do, might as well help her out!
Or, the spirits of Odysseus and Perseus, their souls somehow bound to him, co-parent a young Percy Jackson, unbeknownst to Sally. Shenanigans ensue.

Raising a child is not easy. Raising a child as a ghost is even harder. Raising a demigod child as a ghost is practically impossible. Alas, that is the fate Perseus and Odysseus find themselves trapped in.
But, when ignoring the stress, worry and desperate attempts to convince a child not to eat leaves, it’s not all that bad all the time.
Or, an extension of Keep Your Heart because I miss that fic.

“Right. Well, I better leave now,” the man said. Percy frowned. As far as he could tell, the man hadn’t bought anything. Did he only come in here for directions? Never mind, it didn’t matter. If it meant the man was leaving, then he’d take it.

“Here,” the man said. “In return for your help.”
Nope, nope, he was not accepting that.
