#first time drawing Annabeth in a WHILE

[cryptidtumbleweed]

They're sisters?! >:D

Aka more QKD fanart because... yes :)

[cynthiav06]

The entire Fandom needs to listen to this:

Percy having a thing for Rachel was so absolutely deserved like he should have been head over heels for her. Here's why:

First meeting? Runs her through with Riptide, and where anyone would have spent the whole time yelling and arguing, Rachel quickly gauged the situation, helped Percy hide, deviated the skeletons from their orignal path all at the same time.

Percy is so awed and he should be and Rick Riordan doesn't do justice to the whole thing.

It ends on Percy saying he owes her one, almost an indication that they would meet again.

Yet Percy is terrified of running into Rachel again because he isn't sure if he could answer all her questions, most definitely because he doesn't want to drag her into the whole thing. So much so that when he sees her at Goode, he calls her "my redheaded nightmare " .

Not only has he thought of her since they last met, but he may or may not have dreamed about her, not to mention he remembered her full name after listening just once.

When he does meet her again she yet again warns him about monsters hence saving both of them.

The most important thing is Percy, who all his life has been judged blamed ridiculed, and mocked is for the very first time understood so instantaneously by Rachel. She who has been put in mortal danger every single time she meets him doesn't blame him, doesn't judge him for it, and openly takes the blame for the burning school. Even Annabeth's first response to seeing the smoke is blaming Percy despite being around him and knowing well enough for 3 years; she chooses to blame him as if she doesn't know that it's never Percy's fault. Yet Rachel, someone who he has met only twice and that too for meager few minutes, understands him and his situation so well.

All the people in the Fandom ask yourself this: Will Percy Jackson not for all that he is be absolutely head over heels and in awe of someone like that?

He can barely give her any answers at the moment, but she agrees to a death quest to help him save the world.

Throws a literal hairbrush at the Titan King and stands her ground.

Stays by him and comforts him through his depressive thoughts about dying due to the prophecy.

Falls in love with him despite knowing he has little time left.

Does her best to help him while still keeping his mind off from spiraling into dark thoughts.

Rides a literal helicopter mid-apocalypse to get to him just to warn him of the dangers?

Percy would be so absolutely over the moon in love with Rachel, were Uncle Rick not so fixated on Percabeth agenda.

The last bit is for toxic Annabeth stans:

Rachel is a genius too.

She is ambidextrous and can draw with both hands and legs; probably has exceptional memory, and her composure and quick thinking are on par with Percy himself.

I hate bringing this to looks, but I will if I get to shut up toxic fans. Annabeth is certainly beautiful, and her grey eyes are quite unique, but Rachel is the most underrated and definitely the most beautiful out of all Percy Jackson females.

The woman literally won genetic lottery with red hair and green eyes, and the only reason Rick doesn't rave about her beauty is to not make Annabeth insecure.

Also, for those overly concerned about the Oracle celibacy thing, I will address that in my next post and how it's not a problem at all. (Now posted link is here:

Expect more Pjo-centric posts along with Perachel headcanons and more.

Percy Jackson x Child of Hera 🦚

Pairing(s): Percy Jackson x Gn!Reader

The first thought Percy has is just trying to figure out how you even came to be. It’s nothing like Athena, where her kids pop out of her head fully formed. No, for you to exist, there has to be a human involved—because, well, it takes two to tango. Plus, Athena’s whole thing is marriage and loyalty, so the idea of a glowing mark appearing above anyone’s head at camp—especially one that’s never appeared before—raises a lot of eyebrows.

Naturally, drama follows. There’s also some confusion among Percy and the other campers. In both Greek Mythology and Percy’s life, Hera has been an antagonistic figure. And he’s not the only one with strong feelings about her. You’re guided to the Big House where Chiron and Mr. D discuss your existence while some nymphs clean out the Hera Cabin. The fact that “Hera Cabin” doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue should be proof enough that you probably shouldn’t exist.

Percy and Annabeth are there too and overhear the conversation. After some heated discussions, it’s decided that you’re a demigod (after much deliberation), and since you are, Chiron says you’re welcome at camp. Not everyone’s thrilled about it, though, and even Percy thinks it’s pretty unfair. Sure, your mom is probably the worst godly parent ever, but it’s not like you had any say in that. (Not that any of the other gods are any better, but still.)

Though you’re not exactly being embraced by everyone, some see you as a bit of a curiosity. Hera doesn’t have any powers that stand out, so no one knows what to expect from her potential demigod kids. Safe to say, you become a bit of a project and gain some attention—not always the good kind—and you’re quickly becoming well-known for not being too different from your mom in some aspects.

During a Capture the Flag game, your powers first show themselves. You’re ganged up on by a group of Ares kids, who Percy knows to be pretty close to each other. He figures you’re in serious trouble since – much like his first time participating in Capture the Flag, he wasn’t really mentally prepared– but then something weird happens. One Ares kid randomly notices the sibling on her right is wearing her favorite anklet—totally out of nowhere—and then, they both blow up in each other’s faces. The third one tries to break it up, but instead, they all turn on each other, leaving you the perfect opportunity to sneak away.

This keeps happening, and after a while, Percy finally starts to put two and two together. Annabeth, of course, is impressed by how long it took him to figure it out, and Grover had picked up on it a while ago. Turns out, you have the ability to influence people’s relationships, pulling out little resentments and using them to your advantage. You don’t just break up friendships—you mess with their bonds to get the upper hand.

Percy’s always liked his powers, but after watching you, he can’t help but sort of be jealous of yours. Then, realized this implied he wanted to be Hera's spawn ( not that being a big fat target of a Poseidon kid for monsters was any better.)

Soon, more powers started to emerge, and it was almost like waiting each Wednesday for an episode of your favorite show to air. First, there’s healing—or maybe protection? It’s hard to tell. Both? It happens during a training duel when you and a close demigod friend are sparring against another duo. Percy’s time at camp was always spent rushing around, but this time, he actually stopped to watch. It doesn’t take long for him to realize that you’re getting totally wrecked—like, it’s not even fun to watch anymore. Your ally’s shield disappears when one of the enemies strikes, and a sword is about to make contact with your friend. Quite literally almost drawing blood. Time seems to slow, but then he and likely the rest of the onlookers are pulled out of the trance. There you are, your wounds healing at an incredible rate, and even your friend’s injuries are disappearing too. The most impressive part? There’s an invisible barrier stopping the sword from going any further. You were kneeling in front of your somewhat fallen friend, shielding them from your opponent while drawing strength from it (rather your bond)

It ended in a draw, which Percy thought was total buttcheek. He doesn’t really care about it at the time, though. That opinion doesn’t become important until much later—when you two are already dating. I know, a big leap, but stick with me. It wasn’t long after the day you completely owned those arrogant Ares kids—fair and square—that they started scheming for revenge. They always did.

It’s late in the afternoon at Camp Half-Blood, the kind of quiet time when most campers are either training or lounging around the mess hall. Percy’s leaning against a tree, thinking of a way to tell Sally about what he’s been up to without worrying her out. He’s been on edge all day. The rumors about you—the one with the strange powers—have been flying around camp like wildfire. Some are saying you’ve got the ability to manipulate emotions, others think you can control the weather. Either way, no one knows exactly what you’re capable of, and that makes people uncomfortable.

Suddenly, the camp’s usual peace is interrupted by the sound of shouting—definitely not a good kind of shouting. Percy glances up and sees a group of Ares kids marching toward the training field, and standing in the middle of the group is you. You’re being dragged along, and your usual expression—slightly aloof, like you’re just there to observe—has been replaced with a look of annoyance.

Percy doesn’t have to guess what’s going on. The Ares kids have probably targeted you again, just like they did during Capture the Flag. He can already hear their more than lacking insults, Each one less cutting than the last. They don’t know how to deal with the idea of a demigod child of Hera showing up and making waves. Honestly, they’d probably prefer you were just a myth. Especially after you kicked their asses.

Without thinking, Percy jogs over to where the group is gathering. His first instinct is to stop the bullying, but as he gets closer, he sees something that gives him pause: you’re not fighting back, but you’re not backing down either. Instead, your eyes are focused on the ground as the Ares kids get closer, like you’re silently waiting for something.

Percy slows his pace as he gets within earshot. He’s not sure what’s going on, but he can tell something’s about to happen. It’s when one of the Ares kids, who Percy knows can be particularly nasty—steps too close to you, then it happens. Without warning, the person stops mid-sentence, his face a mix of confusion and... fear?

The others don’t notice at first, but Percy sees it clearly— his grip on his spear loosens, and he stumbles back, like he’s been punched in the gut. Then another Ares kid, this time a girl named, turns on her heel and starts yelling at him, her voice rising in anger. One by one, they start turning on each other, their camaraderie unraveling as small but vicious arguments break out among them.

It’s like they’ve all been possessed by their worst insecurities, and Percy can’t help but realize—this is what you can do. You’re pulling on the threads of their relationships, turning them against each other without even lifting a finger.

Before it gets too out of hand, Percy steps forward, his voice a little louder than usual. “Hey!” he calls out, making the group freeze. They turn to him, a mix of annoyance and confusion on their faces, but Percy ignores them and looks directly at you. “What’s going on here?”

You glance at him, your expression unreadable, but there’s a slight quirk on your lips. “You don’t know?” you say, almost too casually for the situation. “I just helped them... work out their issues.”

Percy raises an eyebrow, not sure if he should be impressed or worried. “That’s one way to do it, I guess.”

The Ares kids, now looking like they’ve completely lost their unity, begin to scatter. Percy watches them go, then turns his attention back to you. “You know,” he says, taking a few steps closer, “that was pretty impressive. And a little terrifying.”

You shrug, your nonchalance making Percy feel both confused and intrigued. “It’s not like I asked for it,” you reply. “It just... happens.”

He studies you for a moment. “Again?” He can’t help but grin slightly. “Can’t say I didn't see that coming.”

You meet his gaze, your eyes sharper than he expected. “Neither did I.”

Percy didn’t stick around camp as often as he could have, but every time he did, the two of you grew closer. Honestly, it got to the point where you both developed feelings for each other. It was a little weird for Percy to think of Hera as a mother-in-law, and on the flip side, you were more than happy to have Sally as yours. You two got along really well, and like Percy, she never held anything against you just because of who your mom is—or how, you know, terrible Hera can be. Percy was honestly just relieved that two of his favorite people got along so well.

But, on the other end? Well, that was a whole mess. Pardon my language, but it was absolute dog shit. While you were still figuring out how to balance your relationship with Percy, Hera kept a very watchful eye on you. There’s a definite possibility that she doesn't approve of him. Not to rule out her approving of him and giving you her support—though if that’s the case, it definitely creeps Percy out. It makes him question whether there’s something he’s missing or if she’s just being her usual irritating self.

And speaking of, Percy can’t believe he ever thought you might be like Hera, just because you were a little manipulative at times. I mean, really—it was just your power. It had nothing to do with your actual personality. And when the truth about how you came to be finally came to light? It was a major turning point. Likely figured out with a –one long and exhausting quest that helped you two get closer than ever– later.

Percabeth Reincarnation AU

UHH,

500 more words of a different take on the percabeth reincarnation au by @literallyjustforlurking

This is still in progress, but I wanted to share here before It ended up another short fic and while it was still a drabble!

Hades knew when souls should enter his realm, at least, the important souls. He was waiting for a set, they should be here any day now. Together, never separated since the 20 year journey the husband had made.  

They never arrived. 

His brothers were never going to let him live this down. 

When Sally Jackson fell in lust with the sea god, she didn’t really consider how the sins of the father would pass onto her son. Percy was such a sweet boy, but Sally was warned to try and keep her son from learning too much about the gods too young. Scared it would draw in monsters she trued to foster other interests in her son, anything but the Greek deities. She often offered soft spoken prayers to her former lover and his wife, aware that someday Percy may have to take refuge under the surface of the water and not wanting to cause strife in her former lover’s home.  She often felt an amused chuckle when she offered prayers to the queen of Atlantis, but short of getting to be there and talk with her, some blue candy would have to make do. 

So when little 5 year old Percy came home from school clutching a picture book copy of the Odyssey Sally’s heart almost stopped. 

“Hunny, what’s that?” She asked her son as he held the book close to his chest at bed time the same night it came home. 

“It’s the story of the man from the dreams mama”. Came her son’s reply

“What dreams hunny?” 

“The island ones! He has to leave home for a big fight and it takes him a really really long time to return!” 

Sally tried to keep her voice calm and a small smile on her face as she talked to her son. “Percy, hunny, are these dreams scary?”

“Not really mama,” He said as he opened the book and started to stare at the pictures. 

The odyssey became his favorite bed time story, Sally hoped the depiction of his father wouldn’t hurt their son as he got older. She also hoped he’d grow out of this phase soon, but the longer Percy’s fascination with the odyssey stayed the more relaxed Sally grew about her son learning about the greek pantheon.  By the time he was swept away in it all he no longer talked about the island dreams, realizing they were something special.  Sally did however add Athena to her small prayer list, If Percy had a connection to Odysseus, He had a connection to the goddess of wisdom. 

Percy always dreamed of a ship sailing away from an island, a loom in a lonely bedroom, and the feeling of sadness and longing. As a little kid he didn’t know what it meant, but as he grew he knew it was special and secret. His mom knew only what he told before he learned to keep his mouth shut.  Percy knew though, that his dreams would lead him somewhere amazing.  The issue? He only knew longing, be it for the water or for something else. 

Annabeth Chase never fit anywhere until she made it to camp, but even camp felt wrong. She was missing something, someone. It was more than just her mother’s approval. She knew she was built… wrong almost. She would look in a mirror and sometimes swear she saw a different person liking back, someone tired, someone who was searching. 

Neither of them noticed the first summer, but Percy and Annabeth both felt better, more settled, after Percy came to camp.

FIRST DATE HEADCANNONS

pairings: og three x gn!reader - separately

characters: annabeth, percy, grover

🍿 notes: GROVER MY UNDERRATED BOYYY (if u saw this before i edited it.. no u didn’t)

ANNABETH CHASE

a movie date 100%

while painting or drawing

like y’know those couples on tiktok who switch their canvas’ every couple minutes

thats you two!!

only if you watched the movie at home ofc!

i also think that if you liked painting she’d want to include your interests

otherwise she’d take you (or you’d take her) to the cinema

i think she prefers books over the tv

but she loves watching a movie/new show every now and then

when the movies finished you two would go out for food at a restaurant or something and talk about the movie

but also about each other

because a date is about getting to know the other person!!

and she would listen to every single word you say

she’d just hope you’re doing the same

(and even if you’re already super close she always want to know more about you!)

i just think dates with her would be super sweet <33

PERCY JACKSON

the aquarium or the beach

i think

or somewhere nice

like a restaurant

but i think a beach date would be more his style

he’d take you there midday and you’d go swimming, get ice cream, sun bathe, etc

whatever you wanna do

as long as you spend time together

i also think you and him would already be friends before you start going out

but he’d still want you to tell him everything about yourself

like i said with annabeth

he’d always want to know more about you

dates are always fun with him :)

GROVER UNDERWOOD

strawberry picking at camp

i think you two would have lots of fun with this as well!

just walking around and picking/eating the fruit you find and talking about everything and anything

but first he’d ask your opinion of where you wanted to go

and where a better than what you call home?

(but he’d try keep and your date away from the nymphs because they’re super nosy)

and if you haven’t eaten all the fruit by the time your done

(which would be surprising)

(chb fruit would taste amazing fight me)

you’d make a strawberry cake

grover would just be so sweet

anyways live laugh love grover!

things that I overlooked in PJO the first time / small, funny things I noticed during my reread

Part 3: The Titan's Curse

The truth was I was kind of disappointed to hear that she liked her new school so much. It was the first time she'd gone to school in New York. I'd been hoping to see her more often.

I tried to concentrate on little things, like the crepe-paper streamers and the punch bowl - anything but that fact that Annabeth was taller than me, and my hands were sweaty and probably gross, and I kept stepping on her toes.

"The General?" I asked. Then I realised I'd said it in a French accent. "I mean... who's the General?" I want this part to be in the show

"Sweet! Let's go! [to CHB]" said Nico. this breaks my heart. he was so excited in this book

Tyson thought Annabeth was just about the coolest thing since peanut butter (and he seriously loved peanut butter).

"How would you kidnap an immortal goddess? Is that even possible?" "Well, yeah. I mean, it happened to Persephone." "But she was like, the goddess of flowers." Grover looked offended. "Springtime." you tell him grover

"That's some serious danger you're facing." Connor Stoll said. (I liked how he said you and not we.) I'm just imagining the rest of the campers not bothering to go on quests cause it's always the same few demigods and they don't care, they're just chilling safe at CHB while Percy and Annabeth do their things

The creature looked at me sadly. "Moooo!" But I couldn't understand his thoughts. I only speak horse. Percy Jackson speaks two languages: English and Horse

With a shiver, I realised that five hundred or a thousand years from now, Bianca di Angelo would look exactly the same as she did today. She might be having a conversation like this with some other half blood long after I was dead but Bianca would still look twelve years old. ouch

"It wants to kill us!" Thalia said. "Of course." Grover said. "It's wild!" "So how is that a blessing?" Bianca asked.

"That's us," he said. "Those five nuts right there." "Which one is me?" I asked. "The little deformed one," Zoe suggested.

When she smiled at me, just for a moment she looked a little like Annabeth. I know everyone talks about this part but I can't help but bring it up again, they are so cute

"Woah, first of all, I never said anything about love. And second, what's up with tragic!" little does he know. also, Percy is so incredibly insightful in this book but he's also so jealous of Annabeth and Luke and so upset about the idea of her joining the hunters yet still can't figure out that he likes her

"Seven hundred feet tall," I said. "Built in the 1930s." "Five million cubic acres of water," Thalia said. Grover sighed. "Largest construction project in the United States." Zoe stared at us. "How do you know all that?" "Annabeth," I said. "She liked architecture." I cannot explain how much this little bit means to me.

The girl I'd just tried to slice in half yelped and dropped her Kleenex. "Oh my god." she shouted. "Do you always kill people when they blow their nose?" Rachel's here!!! I love her

Five minutes later, Zoe had me outfitted in a ragged flannel shirt and jeans three sizes too big, bright red sneakers, and a floppy rainbow hat. someone draw this and tag me. what an outfit

Suddenly it occurred to me: this had happened to her before. She had been cornered on Half-Blood Hill. She'd willingly given her life for her friends. But this time, she couldn't save us. How could I let that happen to her? he is the most empathetic, wholesome guy, I love Percy

"Can't this go any faster?" Thalia demanded. Zoe glared at her. "I cannot control traffic." You both sound like my mother." I said. "Shut up!" they said in unison. I kind of wish we got more Thalia and Zoe interactions... they would've made such a great enemies to lovers dynamic, if Zoe didn't die

"Get away from my daughter!" Dr Chase called down, and his machine gun burst to life, peppering the ground with bullet holes and startling the whole group of monsters into scattering. "Dad?" yelled Annabeth in disbelief.

Grover went off with his satyr friends to spread the word about our strange encounter with the magic of Pan. Within an hour, the satyrs were all running around agitated, asking where the nearest espresso bar was.

"No," I said. "I choose the prophecy. It will be about me." "Why are you saying that?" she cried. "You want to be responsible for the whole world?" It was the last thing I wanted, but I didn't say that. I knew I had to step up and claim it. "I can't let Nico be in any more danger." I said. might I remind you this boy is 13/14 and has the whole world on his shoulders (both literally at some point and figuratively)

I feel like these are just getting longer and longer but again, I will be back for part 4!

[aphroditeinthesea]

connor stoll x daughter of poseidon 🐍

reader comes to terms with feelings for her best friend while trying to deal with the disappearance of her brother

tw none

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

Y/N found herself befriending the younger of the Stoll brothers after a prank he had pulled on her only a little after she had arrived at camp. On a morning where her brother had left the cabin early, so she was alone in cabin 3, she found her cabin surrounded by cups of water as she tried to leave. At first she thought she thought this was the dumbest prank to pull on her, after all, she could control water. However, when she tried to empty the cups, the water wouldn't budge. No matter how hard she tried, the cups stayed still, unaffected. She began to panic, wondering if she had somehow lost her powers overnight. So, she grabbed the cup closest to her, just to find that it wasnt water at all, just clear jello.

“Hey, L/N!” she heard called. She looked up to find Connor Stoll standing in front of her, holding a cup identical to the ones that surrounded her, “how’re the water works going?”

She huffed, “Did you two do this?!”

“Actually,” he smiled, “I did this one myself.”

“Good to know,” she watched him take a sip of his cup, “by the way,” she began.

“What?” He asked before his drink was entirely splashed onto his face.

“You're cleaning this up, Stoll.”

Despite her initial annoyance, she had to admit the cleverness of it. She only wished she could find a way to return the favor.

Which she did, as she was somehow able to get Travis on board. During a game of capture the flag, she snuck back to camp and hid in the Hermes cabin, where after the game, while everyone was still celebrating the winning team, Travis would tell Connor they needed to talk in private.

She watched Connor follow behind his brother as they walked in, “dude, is it something serious or like-” Before he could finish, a puddle of water that had been floating above him, poured down like a rainstorm.

“So,” Y/N laughed, walking over to him, “how’re the water works going for you?”

He wiped his eyes, “good one, L/N,” he sarcastically sighed.

She nodded, beginning to walk out of the cabin, “by the way, thanks for the help, Travis!”

“You helped her?!” She could hear Connor exclaim on the other side of the door as she giggled to herself.

The joy of her revenge was short lived though. The day after, she found her older brother to be missing.

She sat on the sandy beach, asking her father for help, but hearing nothing in response. She tried to calm her anxieties by drawing circles in the sand.

“Y/N?” She heard a familiar voice call from behind her.

She took a deep breath before forcing a smile and turning her head, “hey, Stoll.”

“I heard about your brother,” he sat down next to her.

She nodded, “yeah, I’m sure he’s fine, but still…”

He bit his cheek, “you know, if you weren't all upset and everything, I would have totally gotten you back for yesterday.”

She chuckled, “You’d really start a prank war with me?”

“You bet,” he smirked.

“Try me.”

So then on, the only thing that could cheer her up through the months that her brother was missing was the same person who annoyed her most. Or so she said.

“Seems like Annabeth’s pretty stressed about that one shoe boy, huh?” Connor mentioned as they walked through the forest.

“Yeah,” Y/N answered. She didn't want to admit how hopeful she was about the prophecy. She was sure there were lots of demigods who could lose a shoe, gods know she has plenty of times.

“Pretty embarrassing for him though,” he joked, “you get back to camp after months and you're a mess.”

“Connor,” she spoke as she stopped walking.

He paused, “yeah?”

“I know it’s not gonna be my brother,” she added, “I just know. And I really just don't wanna think about it right now.”

He nodded, “oh, sorry,” he awkwardly responded, “but you gotta admit, it’d be embarrassi-”

She grabbed a stick off the ground and poked him in the side, “shut up.”

He raised an eyebrow and grabbed his own stick, “make me.”

“You!” She yelled, trying to stab him with the stick again, but he instead began running.

He ran backwards, looking back at her, “you have to admit, I’m pretty fast.”

“You're such an idiot!”

“What do you mean-” he asked right before slamming his back into a tree.

Y/N cackled as she reached him, “that’s what I mean,” she smirked, poking him with the stick.

“Kick me while I’m down, that’s real nice.”

She smiled and helped pull him up. She lingered her grip on his hand for a little too long before letting go, but she noticed his hand not even budge enclosed in her fingers. They both awkwardly stayed silent for a moment, feeling like there was something on the tip of their tongues that they both wanted to say.

“Y/N!” Annabeth’s voice rang through the forest. Annabeht stopped as she stared at the two of them, “Y/N, he’s here, come on.”

Y/N nodded, “right,” she began walking towards Annabeth, “see you later, Connor,” she waved.

He stood still for a moment, “bye.”

She walked alongside Annabeth, trying to shake the feeling in her chest.

“Let me get this straight,” Connor questioned. He was in the middle of training with Y/N when she told him about the plan, “you’re going to the Roman camp with Annabeth, Jason, Piper, and Leo?”

She nodded, resting her sword down, “yeah.”

He shook his head, “you can't just go like that, L/N.”

“What?” She breathily laughed, not believing what he had just said, “it’s my brother, I have to go with them.”

He ran his fingers through his hair, “but that’s- what am I supposed to do with that?”

“You have friends other than me,” she replied, “this isn't about you, Connor.”

He sat down on a nearby bench, “I know but…”

She sat next to him, “but?”

“Y/N,” he egan, “I’ve been really wanting to tell you something and I can’t yet.”

She nudged his shoulder, “you're my best friend, Connor. Come on, hit me.”

He sighed, “you're really going?”

“Yes,” she muttered, “now, will you just tell me?”

He stood up, “can we talk somewhere else?”

“Alright,” she obliged. He suddenly grabbed her hand and led her away. She might’ve said something if she didn't enjoy the feeling of his hand in hers so damn much. When he walked into her empty cabin she knew whatever he had to say was important.

He hesitantly let go of her hand, “Y/N, I- uhm- I really, really like you,” he whispered, “I get that you have a lot going on right now, but-”

She smirked, grabbing his face and kissing his lips. She couldn't tell how long this went on. All she knew was that he immediately relaxed into the kiss, his hands finding her waist to pull her closer to him. She knew that she could feel his lips curled into a smile that mirrored her own.

When they pulled away, their faces were still only centimeters apart and a trail of saliva reached between their lips, “I kinda like you too, Stoll.”

He just smiled even more, quickly pulling her into another kiss.

You start to walk to were they are holding breakfast on your walk you start to think to yourself that you kinda wish that you and Percy could talk more he seems nice he just never talks to you you think to yourself, You make your way into to the breakfast you pick it up and you also get one for yourself because you are also starving

So you start to walk back to the cabin,

(Time skip ⏭️)

So you got back to the cabin and you walk in to see Annabeth and Percy talking to each other

“Here you guys go” You say

“Thanks so much Y/n I really appreciate it” Annabeth says

“Oh your welcome it’s no problem” you say back

“Yeah thanks Y/n” Percy says which kinda surprises you he’s never really said anything to you before

You stand there in shock looking at him for a second before answering again

“Y-Your welcome Percy” You say still shocked

He notices you staring at him

“Take a picture it will last longer” he says back to you in a flirty way and he chuckles to himself

You feel yourself get flustered at his words

“Maybe I will” you say back winking and laughing to yourself

He blushes a bit and smiles

You go back to your work you were practicing for capture the flag you wanted to win

“I’m leaving you two can talk for a while if you want” Annabeth says leaving you and Percy alone

“Ok be safe love you” You say back

You and Percy sit there for a while in akward silence you can feel his eyes burning into the back of your head but every time you look back to see is Percy is looking he looks away he’s starts to get bored so he decides to make conversation

“So you practicing for capture the flag huh?” He says softly trying to make conversation

“Yeah I don’t wanna lose” you chuckle to yourself

“Your competitive like your sister” he says smirking

“Yeah we are kinda alike in some ways I guess” you say kinda shrugging

“You need some help with that?” He asks smirking a bit

“Yeah” you kinda blush to yourself

He walks over to you and you were drawing out a plan for capture the flag on paper he takes your had into his and helps you draw you feel butterflies in your stomach you’re never felt this way towards him before it’s all very new to you

Percy’s perspective

Geez I hope she doesn’t think this is weird I never talk to her and now I’m helping her and grabbing her hand (I’m sorry that sounded really weird)

Back to your perspective

(Time skip ⏭️)

So it had been a couple of weeks since you and Percy were alone together and had a moment Percy couldn’t stop thinking about it and he started to talk to you more and hold the door open for you just little things like asking you if you need help or getting you food or even bringing you a little gifts and flowers he was so sweet to you

He definitely had a crush on you and you liked him back

So one day he came to you and Annabeth’s cabin

“Hey Y/n I was wondering something” he asks looking nervous

“Hey, sure what?” you say back curiously

“Well I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me?” He asks very nervously scared of your answer

“Sure I would love to” You say back smiling and blushing a bit

All the sudden you hear something

“Aww you little love birds” Annabeth says teasing you two

“Annabeth!!” You say annoyed and flustered at what your sister is saying

“Well I’ll pick you up at 7 for ice cream?” (Sorry if you’re lactose intolerant 😭) Percy says blushing a bit

“Sure that’s perfect” you say back smiling at him

-The end

I hope you guys enjoyed the story, I hope it was ok

I hope you guys have an amazing day love you guys byeee 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[demigodsanswer]

does tattoo Percy ask Sophia’s permission before proposing to Annabeth/if so can we see that scene?

Yes! He absolutely did ask her. Apologies if Sophia is too precocious for a seven year old. I don't spend much time around them.

(context: modern au, single mom & tattoo artist Annabeth starts dating Percy when her daughter is five. Her daughter's father is Luke, who is a good dad and decent coparent, but they were really never a serious couple.)

~

Percy could work from home on Tuesdays and set his own scheduled. Now that he lived with Annabeth and Sophia, this meant Tuesdays were basically "his day" with her. He got her off the school bus and made sure she started her homework. In the Fall, she usually had soccer practice, but she didn't have any activities in the Spring.

Today, her homework could wait.

His palms were already sweaty. Never in his life had talking to a seven-year-old made him so nervous.

When Sophia got home, Percy told her to change out of her school uniform and get ready to go. Sophia smiled and ran to get changed, eager to see what Percy had planned for them.

"Where are we going?" Sophia asked.

"Want to go to the aquarium?" Percy asked.

She jumped up and down. "Yes!" Before giving him a big hug. Percy figured that was a good sign.

They took the bus out to Coney Island while Sophia told him about her day. She was just about to finish first grade, but she was already one of the smartest ones in her class. She was still getting in trouble for drawing on her arms, though. Percy could see some poorly washed off marker stains on her little forearms.

Sophia had packed a little drawstring backpack for herself that had her sketchbook and some markers, and her latest chapter book inside. Percy was sure he'd end up carrying it for her by the end of the day, but he didn't mind. He was also sure she'd leave the aquarium gift shop with some new stuffed animal, but again, he was happy to spoil her. Especially today, he needed her on his side.

Percy smiled at her as she rambled on about her day. Percy had tucked her blonde curls into a near french braid that morning. some of her curls and baby hairs had escaped, but it was still mostly holding on. She had her father's bright blue eyes, but otherwise her face was all Annabeth.

He might not have had any part in her creation, but he loved this kid. Sophia instinctively took his hand as they stepped off the bus to walk towards the beach. He was pretty sure she was fond of him too.

The Coney Island aquarium wasn't the biggest in the world, but it had a few cool displays and some seal shows. Percy was becoming something of a regular, between taking Sophia after school and going with Annabeth on the weekend after a few edibles.

Sophia plopped down on the floor in front of the moon jellies tank and started to draw.

"These things are so cool!" She said. "Mommy did a jelly fish tattoo for this guy. It was awesome!"

Percy remembered, not because she saw the tattoo in question, but because Sophia had become a big fixated on it, and had drawn several jellies on her arm and on Percy's. (Annabeth was out of space, but Sophia did color in her mom's grayscale work.)

Percy stood close to her to make sure she wasn't in the way and didn't get stepped on. The aquarium wasn't crowded, though. It was a weekday after school -- no field trips and no families. Well, except for them.

Sophia was a remarkably artistic little kid. She wasn't quite at the level of her mom by any means, but the motor skills where really coming together, and she had an eye for color. She colored in the jelly fish blob she'd made with blues and pinks.

"That looks great!" Percy said to her, crouching on the floor near her. She smiled wide at him.

"I got a book about them from the library at school. They don't have brains!" She told him.

"Jellyfish and I have that in common," Percy joked.

Sophia tapped on his head with the end of her marker. "Empty," she confirmed.

Percy laughed and stood up straight, his knees aching a bit. "Come on, peanut. Let's keep looking."

One of the fish tanks had a tunnel kids could crawl through. One of the benefits of coming on a day no one was here was that Sophia could lay down in the tunnel and stare up at the fish for as long as she wanted. But eventually, there was a three year old who also wanted to use the tunnel.

"Sophia, your time is up," Percy said. She crawled back out to him.

"Do you have a favorite fish?" She asked him.

"I like seahorses," Percy said. "Jelly fish are pretty cool, though."

"I like sharks! Wait, are sharks fish?" She took his hand as they kept walking.

"I think so," Percy guessed, "but we'll look it up when we get home," he promised.

They passed an empty tank that promised to have seahorses soon, but right now it was all kelp.

"Empty," Sophia said with a laugh, "like your head."

"It's not empty, it's got seaweed in it," Percy said, pointing to the enclosure.

"Maybe that's what you've got," she suggested.

"Seaweed brain? Is that what you're going to call me from now on?" Percy asked.

"Yep!" Sophia confirmed before running off towards another tank.

Percy ran up behind her, scooped her up, and hung her upside down as she squealed with laughter. "No running in the aquarium!"

"Put me down!" She said with a giggle, kicking her feet up at him. Percy did manage to get her upright and back on her feet, just in time for them to announce that the aquarium would be closing in half an hour.

Just enough time for her to pick her stuffed animal.

Percy expected her to go for a shark or jellyfish, but there were sea otter plushies to go to with their new exhibit, and Sophia fell in love with them.

She held the toy in her arms, and looked up at him with those big pleading blue eyes. Percy didn't stand a change.

"Daddy daughter day?" The cashier guessed. Sophia nodded, and Percy smiled, hopeful and happy. Sophia's smile was wide too, but all pointed in the direction of her new toy as she reached for it.

"Thanks!" Sophia said as the cashier handed him the receipt, squeezing the plush in her arms.

"Come on, let's get food," Percy said.

They sat on a bench facing the ocean as they ate Nathan's hot dogs. Sophia put ketchup and only ketchup on hers, and wrinkled her nose at Percy's choice of mustard and relish.

"You'd like it if you tried it," Percy said. He'd gotten her to be a slightly less picky eater since he started dating Annabeth. But she still wasn't that adventurous. Her diet was still mostly chicken nuggets.

"Blegh," was all she said.

When the dogs were gone, they sat and watched the waves for a minute. The sound was usually calming, but nothing was bringing his nerves down now. Would he be this nervous when he asked Annabeth? He hoped not. But probably.

Well, now or never. Percy couldn't remember the last time he'd been this nervous. His dissertation defense maybe? No, even that wasn't anything like this.

"Sophia, I wanted to talk to you about something," Percy said.

She looked at him, attentive and serious.

"I wanted to ask if it would be okay with you if I asked your mom to marry me," Percy said in one long breath.

Sophia just kept staring at him.

"Would you be okay with that?" Percy asked. "If your mom and I got married?"

"Would you be my dad then?" Sophia asked.

"I'd be your step-dad, yes. But your dad will still be there, the same as always," Percy promised her.

"But you'd get to be my dad too?" She asked.

"I would," Percy said. "Is that o--"

Sophia stood up on the bench and threw her arms around him.

"--okay?" Percy finished as he pulled her into a hug.

"Yeah," she said finally. "You're already kind of my dad."

"That makes me so happy," Percy promised her, rubbing her back as he kept hugging her. "I love you, Sophia. I'd be very, very lucky to be your dad."

"I love you too," she promised. Percy gave her a big squeeze, and tried really hard not to cry.

"Do you think you could help me pick out the ring?" Percy asked.

Sophia pulled away, nodding. "Mommy likes Tiffany's."

Annabeth, despite her general punk vibe, did have a weakness for pretty things, Percy knew. And she had a few Tiffany's pieces that her father had given to her over the years. A Tiffany's ring would probably suit her nicely.

"We'll go to the store together, then, and find something perfect," Percy said.

"Can we go right now?" Sophia asked.

Percy laughed. "Maybe next week?" He suggested.

"Okay!" Sophia said, and then, "I have to go to the bathroom." Thoughts of the proposal temporarily left his mind as he led her there.

It was almost seven when they finally got in, but Annabeth still wasn't home. She'd texted that she'd taken a last minute walk-in at six, and wouldn't be home until later. Percy just started on dinner. He and Sophia probably wouldn't eat much after the hot dogs, but he needed to make sure she got a vegetable and that there was food for Annabeth.

Sophia kept working on her jellyfish drawings.

"That'd make an awesome tattoo," Percy said, putting a plate of pasta and veggies next to her.

Her smile beamed up at him. "I was thinking on a leg," she said.

"Or right here," Percy said, gesturing to his un-tattooed shoulder. "What do you think? Ocean on one side, jellyfish on the other?"

"You'd get it tattooed?" Sophia asked.

"Sure would. Your art is awesome," Percy said. Annabeth had a few Sophia drawings on her legs already.

"Okay!" Sophia said, turning to a blank page, "but not that one! Let me do a better one!"

"Which ever one you like, I'll ask your mom to do it," Percy said with a smile.

"Coolest dad ever," she said.

To keep himself from crying, he just pushed the plate of food closer and said: "Eat some veggies, and then we need to do your homework."

Sophia groaned.

Maybe he wasn't so cool after all.

[modawg]

random headcannons abt if the seven could infact have phones

simply what i think their phones would look like/be used for if they could have them as demigods

percy: bro would have a flip phone this is just fact i think he’d also have an iphone but he uses that more like you would an ipad he normally leaves it home unless he knows he’s going somewhere where he’s gonna wanna take pics or notes or smth

id say he and sally had matching flip phones for a while since their cheap sally prob got herself one pre gabe then scavenged her money together to get percy one before he went to his first boarding school and that’s what he’s grown up using

for one of his teen birthdays 14-16 sally got him a newer phone but he’s gotten so used to his trusty flip that he only uses the newer one for games and shit

his wall paper is probably a picture of a dinner with sally paul estelle annabeth and grover it’s very cute

annabeth: she didn’t have a phone for a long while and only ended up getting one from her dad when she started hanging out with them again he got it for her as a way to probably buy her affection he probably got it in like red or something thinking it was her fav color (maybe it was when she was like 5 but be fr) it’s prob like an iphone 8 or smth it was new at the time but old asf now

her phones decked out in camp crafts home made stickers etc etc and she changes her wall paper pretty often depending on her fav pictures she has abt 100000 .5 pics of percy it’s like her fav thing

she mostly just uses it to take pictures set reminders/timer and to look things up + keep in contact with sally and paul

she’s broken it like 6 times at this point but the hephaestus cabin keeps fixing it for her

piper: new new new girlies got the newest phone only bc her dad bought it for her she probably had a phase where she continuously shattered/broke her phone to get her dads attention and was forced to have a flip phone for a while but now that everything’s cooled down her phones the most pristine out of all the seven

her phone is fully decked out with a polaroid of her trio in the case stickers bangles the works it’s probably the best looking phone you could have and she loves it but she only started doing that post chb when she first came to camp her phone was default everything bc she kept getting it replaced

leo: leo either built his own version of a phone or somehow got one like 6 years ago and keeps adding stuff to it/changing things on it to keep it alive bc that thing is holding on for dear LIFE

the most JACKED phone out of everyone like you wouldn’t know he’s a son of hephaestus bc that bitch is wrecked it’s got a cracked screen is disgusting but works probably the smoothest out of everyone’s

he mostly uses it as an extension of his work to take pics of what he’s working on write notes and maybe use the calculator if he was a mortal the police would’ve been at his door like every other day bc of the shit he looks up

jason: he had a cj mandated pager lets be fr he didn’t get a phone until piper took him and hazel to get them ones and when he did get one it was a flip phone it’s sturdy low-key and gets the job done he also just gives me the vibe that he’s feel guilty if you spent more then 50$ on him

his phone also has some stickers including a little bangle of superman that piper made him get it also has a peice of tape on there with his name on it like you would the inside of a kids shirt incase he looses it

frank: he’s got a pretty new phone it was a gift from his gma but it’s locked up in a big fat otter case and he kinda hates using it so it’s default everything until hazel gets her own phone and he starts using it more

i feel like phones aren’t things many ppl have in camp jupiter so he kept that shit under his pillow so he didn’t draw more attention to himself

once he lets himself use it more his wallpapers probably a picture of hazel and percy making goofy faces and he probably has at least one sticker or bangle that matches hazels

hazel: hazel def has an ipod touch she probably traded in a chunk of gold for some cash and bought the cheapest thing but piper got her to at least get something with a screen

her phone case is probably just a white phone case with a bunch of pictures of horses on there and her wallpaper for like a year was just the first selfie she took with jason and piper post buying the phone

once she learns how to change her wall paper she changes it every other week to different random pics she takes

she has a really bad habit of butt dialling people

nico: bro doesn’t have a phone he just seems like the type to not give af abt that and only gets one when will forces him to but it’s forever the most default shit ever he maybe changes the wallpaper to a pic of will but that’s abt it prior to getting his own he was the kid who’d show up and immediately ask if you had games on ur phone for him to play

SPOILER: he does get jason’s flip phone when he dies and uses that for a while but he refuses to change anything about the phone and only uses it for emergencies

when he’s really sad he listens to jason’s voicemail on repeat “hello! you’ve reached jason grace im not available rn but i’ll call you back when i can thanks!..uh piper is it still recording-“

[no2ticonderoga]

Well, the first part went over so well, I guess you can have another chunk.

1948

“Heads up!” 

Annabeth ducked under the swinging lumber as she hurried across the stage toward the house. “Leo!” she called. “Leo! Where are you?” she called out.

“Up here, Princess.” His muffled voice came from somewhere above her. 

She squinted up toward the balcony, and finally spotted him among the lighting grid. “I need to talk to you.”

“It’s going to have to wait until I come down,” he called back. “I’m a bit busy at present.”

“How long are you going to be?” Annabeth asked. “I really need to talk to you before…”

“No! No!” a new voice called, and Annabeth winced. “Where is that set designer?”

Annabeth jerked, and scrambled off the stage into the wings, hoping to avoid being seen. No luck.

“Ah, there you are, Annibelle,” Mr. D, the director said. “I wanted to talk to you about changes to the design for the second act. 

“Yes, Mr. D,” Annabeth said. 

“It needs to be more…grandiose. It should take the audience away, immerse them!”

Three days ago, Mr. D had told her that the design needed to be minimal, to draw the focus to the actors. Annabeth took a deep breath and gritted her teeth. “Yes, Mr. D,” she replied.

The pudgy man sighed. “You know, Ainsley, I just don’t know if you have the vision for this kind of work.”

“I’m sure I can work out something,” Annabeth replied through her clenched smile. “I’ve got some sketches already. I thought that you might like to see options, so I did more than one design.” They were the designs she’d already shown. him, that he’d rejected in favor of his minimalist approach. But he wouldn’t remember anyway. Annabeth had been working for him for over a year now, and she knew how to deal with him. 

“Oh, very good, very forward thinking. Yes, please bring them to me as soon as you can,” Mr. D breezed. “Now, where is that technician?” 

Annabeth escaped, while Mr. D went in search of Leo. 

“He’s in a mood, isn’t he?” Reyna asked.

Annabeth rolled her eyes. “Tell me about it….stay out of his line of sight, or he might decide he wants you to redo the choreography for the whole first act.”

“I might pour rat poison in his coffee,” Reyna deadpanned. Annabeth laughed, and continued backstage. 

She found Piper’s dressing room and let herself in. Piper wasn’t there, but Annabeth sat at the small desk that Piper let her use and started sorting through the set designs that Mr. D had already rejected so she could give him a new one.

She sighed and leaned back in the chair, rubbing her temples. 

She had never expected to get a real architect’s job out of college, not at first. But she’d needed to get out of New York. When her father had offered to let her join him in Europe, after the war ended, she’d jumped at the chance. She’d spent almost a year helping him with his work on the Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives unit. Given a colonel’s commission in the Army, her dad had been in charge of the Greek and Roman section, working to recover and repatriate artifacts looted by the Germans and Italians. She’d enjoyed working with him, but she’d kept looking for a job.

But the firm in San Francisco had seemed so promising, at least at first. She’d returned to the states with her father when his group had been disbanded, and then moved to the West Coast.  She’d been given a ‘Junior Architect’ title, though her actual job had been little better than a secretary. She’d met Luke, and they’d gone on some dates…dinner, dancing, picnics in the park. She thought maybe she could see a future with him. Sure, he was bit older, but he was well established. 

And then she saw the plans for the building he was working on. 

It had been her design. Done up after hours, she’s been quietly saving it to show to her boss when she thought the time was right. She’d shown it to Luke, and he had liked it.

And then he’d stolen it.

She confronted him about it, and he’d laughed. He told her she should be grateful, because it was the only way her designs would ever get built. 

She’d been so mad, she’d thrown her drink in his face, and then she’d slapped him, for good measure. She’d gone back to her apartment, written her letter of resignation, packed her meager belongings in her valise and bought a ticket for the next eastbound train leaving the station. Her phone had started ringing while she was packing, so she’d ripped the cord from the wall. She didn’t want to talk to Luke, she hadn’t wanted to talk to anyone. 

She mailed her resignation, and her notice of departure to her landlord on the way to the train station, and boarded a train that would take her as far as St. Louis. She’d had to spend the night in the train station before getting another train to New York the following morning. She’d called her father from St. Louis, and thank God he hadn’t asked too many questions, only agreed to make sure anything she’d left behind was collected, and to get the San Francisco bank to close her account and wire her money to New York. 

She’d only gone home to her father’s long enough to get in touch with Piper. Piper, who had just been cast in High Button Shoes, had made room in her apartment for Annabeth, and was honestly glad to have someone to share rent with. She’d also helped Annabeth find a job. The closest thing to what she’d trained to do: set design. 

At first, it had been a challenge. She’d not really designed interior spaces before, but she found it interesting. Particular when she’d had to design spaces to create the illusion of more space. She’d worked on several plays, including A Streetcar Named Desire. Piper’s star had been rising for years, getting her start in the chorus of Annie Get Your Gun, then being asked to audition for Brigadoon, and finally moving on to High Button Shoes. But when Piper had been asked to join the original cast of this new show as the headliner, she’d suggested Annabeth as set designer and the producers had agreed. It should have been a triumph.

Except, so far, it somehow wasn’t. 

Annabeth gave a little jump when the dressing room door opened, but it was only Piper. “Hi,” Annabeth called.

“You look awful,” Piper said, shutting the door behind her and locking it. She began to change out of her dress into rehearsal wear. She must have gone out for lunch. 

“Thanks,” Annabeth said dryly. 

“What happened?” she asked.

“Oh, the usual. Mr. D being his typical, charming self.”

“Oh God,” Piper groaned. “THat’s not what I want to hear today. He’s supposed to be coming to rehearsal this afternoon to see how the duet is coming. Between him and my co-star, I’m not sure I can take it.”

“Where did you go for lunch?” Annabeth asked.

“Just around the corner, nothing fancy. I just needed to get out of here. I looked for you before I left.”

“It’s okay. I should get something, though. Did you have to eat alone?”

“No,” Piper grinned. “I ran into Jason.”

Annabeth snorted. “I’m glad I wasn’t there, then,” she said.

If Piper had a leg up because her dad had been a vaudeville star, Jason Grace, son of film actress Beryl Grace, was even better connected. Possessed of strong good looks, blonde hair, blue eyes, and a stirling war record as a fighter pilot, he was absolutely on his way to the top. And he probably had more talent than most. The fact that he hadn’t been cast as the lead in this show was only because Octavian still had more name draw. So he was second billing, playing Octavian’s friend.

The trouble was, that he and Piper had more chemistry both on and off stage than Piper had with Octavian at all, a fact which had not escaped Octavian’s notice. Not that he was interested in Piper romantically, but he was jealous of their easy rapport. He’d tried to get Jason fired, Annabeth had heard, but the producers had smacked his hand over it. Which hadn’t helped his feelings for him either.

Annabeth liked him. But that didn’t mean she wanted to sit through a whole lunch with Piper and Jason flirting. 

“We were fine,” Piper protested. She came over to lean on the back of Annabeth’s chair. “We would have behaved ourselves for you.”

Annabeth gave Piper a look. She was pretty sure Piper hadn’t taken Jason to bed yet, though it was probably only a matter of time. Piper had had many partners in the time they’d known each other, both men and women. Annabeth had been shocked at first, but she’d grown accustomed to it. Annabeth supposed it was Piper’s upbringing in the freer, wilder world of the theatres. Annabeth was still a virgin, and never more grateful that she was. Luke had tried it on a couple of times, but she’d resisted. There hadn’t been any other men she’d been close to. 

Well, that wasn’t entirely true. But..

No, she wasn’t going there. No. Not going to think about it.

She sighed. “Maybe I’ll try and save you by distracting Mr. D with new set sketches, and he won’t make it to your practice.” 

“I’ll buy you dinner if you do,” Piper promised. “And maybe I’ll see if Jason has any friends he can introduce you to.” 

“No, Piper,” Annabeth said firmly. 

“Annabeth, you’re 25, going on 26. You should find someone.”

“You don’t have anyone,” Annabeth pointed out.

Piper shrugged. “But I like being single, and besides, I have Jason right now.”

“Is he the one?” Annabeth asked.

Piper shrugged. “We’ll see. I like him And stop changing the subject. We’re talking about how you’re going to mend your broken heart.”

“I am not broken hearted about Luke the ass.”

“Not who I was talking about,” Piper said in a sing-song voice.

“Stop,” Annabeth demanded. It came out more harshly than she intended. 

Piper’s expression and voice softened. “Oh, sweetie,” she brushed Annabeth’s hair. “I’m sorry.”

Annabeth resolutely took a deep breath and rose. “I’m fine.” She gathered up her sketches, and turned to go.

“Hey,” Piper called as she reached the door. 

Annabeth hesitated. “Yeah?” she turned to look at her best friend. 

Piper’s face clearly warred with what she was going to say, but finally she just said. “Do you want to get dinner later?”

Annabeth nodded. “Yeah, that sounds good.”

“I’ll see you later, then,” Piper said. 

Annabeth left. 

The corridor outside the dressing rooms was deserted, so Annabeth stood there for a long minute, taking deep breaths.

She was always of two minds. On one hand she got angry. Angry that she’d been taken in by pretty words and dazzling smile, and gorgeous green eyes, and been nothing more than an afternoon’s diversion for a man who probably had a girlfriend in every port. A way to pass the time before he’d shipped out. 

On the other, there was a broken place in her soul where she believed that her one true love, the man she should have been fated to marry, had left New York that night and gone overseas, and been killed before he’d even had a chance to write to her.  

She wasn’t sure which was worse, honestly. 

She took a final deep breath to steady herself, and then headed back toward the stage. Maybe this time, Mr. D wouldn’t change his mind again.

Your hair is really soft after you wash it - Percabeth

a/n- this is the first chapter of my fluff one-shots series on ao3. I hope you enjoy it! pls like, comment and reblog. It motivates me so much. Also make sure you send me requests. I've had a few so far but it may take me little while to get them out. I'm hoping chapter 3 of this series will be out soon. :)

Percy didn’t quite know how he got here, lying next to Annabeth on her bed in Cabin 6. You’d think it was romantic, at least, that's what all her brothers and sisters thought when she led him in here with a firm grip on his wrist. But in truth Percy was pretty sure that this was the most uncomfortable experience he had ever had. He was as stiff as a board, not even letting the tip of his finger come within 5 inches of Annabeth in fear that she would kick him out. 

Even still there was no way that he would want to be anywhere else, even just being in her presence made him feel good. 

Percy wasn't sure what it was about her exactly that pulled him in so much but it could have something to do with the fact that he knew that whatever happened, she would always be on his side. And with the subtle hints that she had dropped to him he was pretty sure she felt the same way. Percy had always been someone who wouldn't dream of hurting or betraying his friends, no matter the situation. He knew he had proved that on their quest, with the arch and the golden throne being just a couple of examples. He had also noticed that Annabeth had been distancing herself from other people at camp, at this point Percy was pretty much the only person she spent time with and he was almost certain that it had quite a lot to do with Luke.

Saying that Lukes betrayal had hit Annabeth hard would be an understatement, she had barely left her cabin for the first three days, only emerging for meals and mandatory meetings and she almost always showed up with red rims around her eyes. 

Percy was worried to say the least but he didn’t know how to help her when she was so desperate not to talk to anyone. He might not be the best when it came to emotions (that was more Grover’s forte) but one thing Percy did know was that the worst thing you can do is bottle it up. He knew Annabeth was struggling and he was ready to barge in and force her to talk to him until one day she just showed up at his cabin. He was slightly astounded for a moment and she seemed almost shy which was the last thing he ever expected her to be, but she just asked if she could come in and when Percy finally managed to stutter out a yes she just sat down on one of the empty bunks pulled a book out of her bag and started reading.

Percy was slightly confused for a while before he decided to just carry on with the drawing he’d been doing in his sketchbook. He wasn’t a particularly good artist but he had always enjoyed drawing as it helped him to make sense of the things happening around him. And so it became somewhat of a routine for them. Her reading a book (usually a different one everyday) and him sketching some mythical creature they had encountered (although a lot of his recent sketches had been of the owls he often saw in the woods). Until this lunchtime when Annabeth had come over to his table, ignoring the reprimanding glances she was receiving from Chiron, and asked if he could meet her in her cabin later. 

Being the seaweed brained idiot that she always knew him as, he had not thought to go and get his sketchbook before he went and so now he was just lying there awkwardly as unlike his cabin all of the bunks in the Athena cabin were full and so they had to share Annabeths. Working up the courage he asked her,

“Annabeth, why are we in your cabin instead of mine?”

She turned and looked at him,

“Did I not tell you?” She seemed surprised

“Um-no. Unless I forgot which is very possible and in which case I apologise as-” he was rambling now.

Annabeth simply let out a small laugh that for some reason made his cheeks feel hot,

“It's fine Seaweed Brain, I’m pretty sure I forgot to tell you anyway. I asked Chiron if he had a monster proof TV, which he doesn’t but he did give me this Laptop instead which apparently has something called Disney+ on it. Im not entirely sure what that is but i assumed you would know so…” She stopped talking, noticing the astounded look on his face. 

“O-oh i’m sorry if you don’t want to, it's just that you said we could watch a movie after the quest was over and i thought now would be  good time…”

“No no no, Its amazing Annabeth! I guess i was just surprised you remembered, i mean it was a while ago.” Percy hurried to reassure her.

“Are you kidding? I’ve been looking forward to this since you first mentioned it back in Waterland.” Percy was smiling softly at her, an emotion in his eyes that Annabeth couldn’t recognise.

“Well then Wise Girl, what film do you feel like watching?” Percy’s face lit up in anticipation.

“Oh wait, do you mind if i have a shower before we start? My hair is kinda greasy and I won't have time for one tomorrow.” Annabeth suddenly remembered.

“Of course, don’t be too long though. I might watch something without you.” Annabeth let out a small chuckle at his teasing tone.

“Sure Seaweed Brain, 10 minutes. Max” She tapped his nose on her way to the bathroom, an action that brought a dark flush to Percy’s cheeks that he hoped Annabeth hadn’t seen. 

Annabeth was true to her word and emerged from the bathroom exactly 8 minutes later with her hair half dried with a towel. She took a few seconds to tug a brush through it before joining Percy on the bed again. They were alone in the cabin now, her siblings had gone down to the campfire. Truthfully she hoped they would stay there until the movie they watched was finished, call her selfish but all she had wanted for a good week now was some alone time with Percy to watch a movie. Technically they were breaking the rule of a male and female camper being alone in a cabin together but she figured Chiron wouldn’t mind considering the highly dangerous quest to stop a war that they had just been on.

“I’ll ask you again, what movie do you feel like watching?” Percy brought her back to earth with a smile.

“I don’t know any so i guess we could just watch your favourite.” 

“Yessssss. Okay so my favourite movie is called Finding Nemo and it is the best film in the world. It's about this fish that gets lost and his dad and his friend have to go and find him.” Annabeth smiled as he typed it into the search box, of course such a stupid sounding movie would be his favourite.

1 hour and 40 minutes later Annabeth had officially watched her very first movie and she had thoroughly enjoyed it. Whilst she was right in saying that it was a bit stupid she found herself laughing more than she ever had before, although to be fair most of the things she was laughing at were Percy’s stupid comments. By the end they were both pretty tired and almost falling asleep. Still Annabeth didn’t want him to leave and she was almost certain that a similar thought was running through his mind. 

They stayed like that, in comfortable silence for another half an hour, curled up together, his arm around her shoulder, his hand playing with her hair. Annabeth was embarrassed as her hair was tangled from the way it had dried whilst she was lying down. However it was evident that Percy didn’t care as the next words from his lips were,

“Your hair is really soft after you wash it.”

Looking back Annabeth thought that might be the moment she realised that her little crush might not be so little after all.

11 days since I sent you that ask and I can now say, I get it. I get what you meant about episode 8. WE DID NOT JUST GET LUKERCY CRUMBS HOLY SHIT-

ALL OF THEIR SCENES TOGETHER WERE MAKING ME FERAL FJGKD WHICH WAS SO HARD TO KEEP IN WHILE WATCHING IT WITH MY SIS 😭😭 IT WAS SO GOOD

the training!! the entire fucking fight with luke practically begging percy to believe that he is his friend and wants him to join him!! the lighting!! just everything!!! you can soo tell luke wanted to shove percy in that portal and take him along no matter what!! (ignoring annabeths appearance cause im still on the fence with that change even if I get why they did it)

i am so going to binge read lukercy fics the entire night just to fill my rabid need for content of them after seeing that AHFJVKDKD I CANT-

You're right we didn't just get crumbs, we got a whole damn pie.

Luke not only welcoming Percy to camp but being the one to show him around, constantly by his side. Even watching him sleep from across the cabin.

The look on Percy's face when Luke tells him he's always on Annabeth's side.

Luke breaking the camp rules that two demigods (with different parents) aren't allowed to be alone in the cabins together to give Percy the shoes in his cabin (as opposed to on the hill like in the book).

Percy wanting to take Luke on the quest but being afraid that Luke would prioritize Annabeth over him.

The jealousy and disgust in Luke's voice during the Iris message when he makes the comment about "when did you two become an old married couple" and the look of equal disgust and discomfort from Percy when he says "gross let's move on from that." (paraphrasing but you get the idea)

Luke influencing Percy so much that the very first words of Percy's book ("Look, I didn't want to be a halfblood") are actually a quote from Luke.

The whole training scene.

Sword under the chin is always hot. Percy's making a face like he knows it too.

When Luke goes to sit on that rock beside Percy, he chooses a spot that lets them sit eye-to-eye but also he rocks toward Percy for a second like he's going to go in for a kiss.

Percy mirroring the head tilt that Luke (Charlie?) does.

Luke's voice full of pride when Percy does good.

Luke telling Percy he's small and scary. So fucking cute.

The way we can see via body language what book!Percy has been telling us all along: that every time Percy picks up his sword, he hears Luke's voice in his head telling him what to do.

Percy and Luke almost never take their eyes off each other for the whole secret meeting about Clarisse.

They're meeting in the woods at night. Luke didn't even have to bribe Percy this time, he just trotted after him.

Luke coaxing Percy into talking. (in the books Percy doesn't do a lot of talking out loud and Luke actually does break the ice several times because Percy is just standing there staring like a little weirdo [affectionate].).

Fireworks from beginning to end. Love the red and blue ones especially for that bisexual lighting. It was easily the best lighting in the whole show.

"Easy. I just want to show you." Everyone says that the maia scene was the hottest thing Charlie said as Luke but they're sleeping on this. Those are 'gonna take your virginity' words and his tone of voice? Mmm. Yum.

AND it's about his sword? HIS SWORD?! The most phallic weapon of all? Gods help me.

Just an interesting detail but Luke doesn't actually ever point his sword at Percy until Percy attacks him. It really shows that his plan is to convince Percy to leave with him.

"The gods are my enemy. You....." - Luke searching for what Percy is to him. lol I guess it's supposed to be a dramatic pause for dramatic effect but it really just makes it sound like Luke is debating how exactly to define their relationship.

Both of them have watery tear-filled eyes? Excuse me? Cry babies? Yes please. I told all of you so.

Also Luke is comfortable with turning his back on Percy to draw the runes (?) even though Percy drew his sword and is sweating like a sinner in church.

Luke actually proposing that they run away. Together. Just the two of them.

"We"

Percy is literally swaying on his feet. You can see that he's nervous but he also doesn't take so much as a single step backward. He still wants to be close to Luke!

Luke's determination to bring Percy with him. During their fight he does his best to keep Percy between himself and the portal. He even tosses Percy towards it a couple of times. Luke wants Percy to run away with him voluntarily but you can see as the fight goes on longer, he decides kidnapping is an option.

Luke is not leaving without his boy.

The skill difference between Percy and Luke. We see this during training too, where Luke is tossing Percy around and basically playing with him (I mean it's serious training but Luke's skill level is so above that it looks like playing). Luke is not seriously fighting Percy. He's trying to herd Percy into that portal.

Luke praising Percy in the middle of their fight.

Percy cutting Luke.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to -" Because Percy really doesn't want to hurt Luke and he's never like actually hurt someone he cares about.

Luke cutting Percy.

Looming.

The way after Annabeth shows up, Luke's eyes flit down to Percy three separate times. You can visibly see him weighing his options. I think he was debating if he could sling Percy over his shoulder and run into the portal faster than Annabeth could catch them.

"I know Luke wasn't trying to kill me." - WOW what a change from the book. I can't believe they had Percy understand that because in the pit scorpion scene, he did not get it. I'm happy about the change but surprised they made it. (makes me wonder if Percy's the one who's loyalty we're supposed to question instead of Annabeth's as the next seasons come up).

Sorry that was long but like. Wow. We won hardcore.

As for reading more lukercy fic, you'll be pleased to know that it's the lukercy valentine's event this week (02/12-02-15) so there should be ✨ new fics. ✨

i really liked your pjo headcannons post. i thought it was interesting, since most people always put physical touch as some of the main ll for the characters, esp leo n percy. do u have any other headcanons for either of them? it can be generic things, like what they would do with a s/o, or it can be weird shit idc? i swear ive read lit every single post to exist on tumblr n i need more

Oh my god thank you so much! This is so sweet. I'm surprised my first ever post is doing as well as it is. I expected to pass as pretty unnoticed in the beginning. I do have a lot of headcanons for the characters, but I'm going to do Leo in this one since he's my absolute favourite

Note: I haven't read the HOO books in a while, but I just finished my reread of PJO, so if any 'headcanon' is actually canon, please just pretend that I'm Uncle Rick himself.

Warnings: none

Leo Valdez Headcanons - loves sweet&spicy. If that's an option in the menu at the restaurant he went to, he will absolutely get it. He's kind of obsessed with it to the point where one might get worried about his taste buds

- if he had to choose between sweet and sour, he would absolutely pick sweet any day. That's not really the best considering he's very ADHD, even for a demigod and his intake of sugar doesn't really help much, but he just loves sweet. He doesn't care if it's chocolate-type sweet or sugar-sweet, he just likes it. You can bet that when he comes out of Bunker 9 after a long day, his tongue would be all types of colours because his 'meal' for the day was whatever candy was in his stash of sweets

- now if you made the choice between sweet, sour and spicy, he would struggle to pick

- he hates coffee. he's simply not a coffee guy. he thinks it tastes nasty, since we established he loves anything sweet and coffee is definitely not sweet. and he doesn't need it anyway, he's hyper as is. if anything, coffee makes him more tired

- i feel like he would get pretty into anime if he tried watching it. from the trending shonen, chainsaw man would be his fave, but in general he would be such a fan of one piece imo. he is that person who has unironically watched the whole thing like three times - he feels guilty when he isn't doing something productive since he feels this need to constantly be creating something, but he also loves to just get distracted by something and do his own thing for hours, even if there's no 'productive' outcome. so he 'wastes' his time and feels guilty the entire time, but the enjoyment he gets out of it evens out the guilt (what do you mean i'm not projecting on my favourite character... at all...)

- secretly a good singer. piper once caught him singing in the shower and then dragged him out and forced him to sing out loud because she was not expecting such an angelic voice to come out of him

- his go to karaoke song is 'cake by the ocean' by dnce

- i feel like he would learn how to play the guitar and he will be shockingly good at it. like he learns a song so fast and because his fingers are always doing something and tinkering with things, this is the perfect way for him to get his energy out while also having lots of fun

- i also feel like he would purposefully not tell anyone he learned the guitar and one day he just whips out this new talent of his and everyone's like '????'

- honestly, leo is just good at everything. if he wasn't a hephaestus kid, he would be a son of hermes, because he is such a jack of all trades. he is incredibly intelligent (which is canon, btw, and if it's not yes it fucking is have you seen the guy, he is borderline as smart as Annabeth, if not smarter, just in another flavour), but also anything he attempts to do, he succeeds in. he can draw, he can play the guitar, he can sing, he absolutely is a great dancer. you would expect he sucks at cooking but nope, there he goes, making a gourmet meal like it's nothing. he isn't much of a fighter, but if he needs to hold his ground, he can. he's just so versatile, you can barely catch him off guard with something he can't master in a few hours

I fucking love Leo, can you notice this from my post?? Anyway, I got too lazy to edit this after I wrote it, so if it's not grammatically perfect or things don't make sense, apologies and please let me know. I will post more headcanons because I frankly have too many. And a lot of AU ideas. I'm preparing one rn actually so... stay tuned? Maybe follow if you're interested in seeing more shit by me. - mia
