Ships Dance Across The Sky
is a ‘’Percy Jackson and the Olympians’’ and ‘’Star Trek: Lower Decks’’ crossover fic by Huntingkiddo13.
Percy Jackson never imagined, when he entered the Academy, that he’d find himself on board a starship. Uneasy about the promotion and the feelings he’s gaining for a fellow officer, Percy decides to make the most of it.
‘’Ships Dance Across the Sky’’ contains the following examples:
- Being Personal Isn't Professional: Admiral Freeman is strict, but he can be downright chummy with his subordinates off the clock.
- Broken Ace: Percy Jackson, thanks to his skill as a soldier, manages to rise to the academy ranks much more quickly than other privates. However, trauma from his past means he is often uncomfortable with praise he feels he doesn't deserve.
- Crossover Couple: The story plans for Percy Jackson and Beckett Mariner to become a couple.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: Beckett starts the story bitter over Boimler leaving due to a promotion but gradually warms up to Percy Jackson.
- Humble Hero: Percy Jackson, when told he’s getting a promotion to a ship, nervously wonders why Admiral Freeman doesn’t pick other more qualified candidates.
- Large and in Charge: Admiral Alonzo Freeman is a tall man and the central authority figure in Percy Jackson’s life.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Beckett is stunned to hear laughter from her usually stoic and professional mother.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Admiral Freeman is a stern and demanding man, but as Percy Jackson discovers, he will always reward those based on their merits.
