keep the nightmares away - percy jackson

Request: nope Pairing: Percy Jackson x reader Summary: oh nooo what if there's only one bed........ (im a sucker for this trope and WILL use it whenever I can) Warnings: mentions of wounds, swearing, nightmares Word count: 1.5K A/N: yall know that audio from the rock "it's about drive it's about power we stay hungry we devour" that's me writing more fics in two days than I have in 6 months. I blame it on my percy jackson hyperfixation. enjoy!

you were so exhausted you could barely keep your eyes open. you'd been sent on another quest and had been chased down by monsters for gods know how many times already.

everyone was tired and just wanted to go to bed. but a prophecy had predicted there would be three demigods and a fourth companion on this quest, so it wasn't easy to leave the monsters behind.

'why did we have to be four?' you say softly as you force yourself to keep on walking. 'it would be way more quiet if there were only three of us.'

percy looks over his shoulder in front of you. 'I don't think quests are ever quiet.' he says with a smile.

'you know what I mean.' you say. 'are we there yet?'

'almost.' says annabeth, who is walking with grover in front of percy, holding the map and leading the way. 'it's just over the ridge.'

'thank the gods.' you mutter.

you know annabeth is going to state the facts rather than make something sound good. and sure enough, when you reach the top of the ridge you can see a dimly lit street in the distance.

you can see the motel you're headed for, a diner, and a gas station with a small store.

you're filled with relief of the thought of finally laying down and resting your feet. you could rewrap your wounds and maybe even take a shower if you're lucky and have the energy for it.

'come on, nearly there.' says percy, reaching out and gently tugging you along by your wrist.

if you weren't so tired you'd be reeling over the fact percy is holding your wrist so gently. but all you can think of is how soft the beds would be.

when you get to the motel you're too tired to speak. you let annabeth do all of the talking.

after a few minutes she returns with two keys.

'these are the only ones they had available.' she says, giving percy one.

'come on.' says percy. 'want me to rewrap your arm?'

you nod. a few hours ago, you got your arm sliced open and had to hastily wrap it. you're not very good at it, as the cut is on the back of your upper arm and you can't see it very well.

'grover and I will check the area quickly and then we can all get some rest.' says annabeth. 'regroup in my room at 8 am tomorrow?'

'sure.' says percy while you and grover nod.

you follow percy as he's searching for the room. eventually he stops and you nearly bump into him.

'sorry.' you mutter.

'it's alright.' says percy as he unlocks the door and lets you enter first.

you stop in the door opening, looking at the room.

'what's wrong?' says percy, looking over your shoulder. 'oh.'

yeah. oh. there's only one bed. not even a sofa.

you enter the room and percy shuts the door behind him. of course there's only one bed. and you're so exhausted. you can tell percy is tired as well. he's just better at hiding it.

'come on, let me take care of your arm.' says percy.

you head into the bathroom while percy rummages around his pack for the medical kit.

'sit on the counter.' he says as he enters the bathroom with the medical kit in his hands.

you do as he instructs and rest the back of your head against the mirror. you close your eyes but open them when percy lightly taps your knee.

'need you awake for this. you can sleep after.' he says softly.

you sigh. 'fine.'

'I know you're exhausted. I'll make it quick.'

'thanks, perce.'

percy ignores the way he feels when you call him that. he wonders if you know you're the only one that ever calls him that.

he washes his hands and then gently unwraps the old bandage around your arm. he carefully cleans the cut and starts on rewrapping it, making sure he's not hurting you.

when he's almost done, he feels a weight on his shoulder. he smiles to himself, letting you doze off on his shoulder. he's nearly done, anyway.

he secures the last bit of the bandage and then nudges you awake.

'sorry.' you say, blinking a few times.

'let's get you to the bed.' says percy, offering his hand so you can hop off the counter. 'you can take the first shift.'

you frown. 'first shift?'

'sleeping in the bed.'

'where will you sleep?'

'on the floor. I'll get the pillows off of the chair.'

you shake your head. 'percy, you're tired as well. you've fought just as much as I have. you'll only make it worse by sleeping on the floor. we can share.' you say.

sharing a bed as friends, that's cool right? not a big deal. at least that's what you tell yourself.

percy studies your face. he probably looks as tired as you do.

'it's big enough for the two of us.' you say, reaching down to take off your boots.

'alright.' says percy.

there's a knock on the door and both you and percy freeze. percy reaches inside of his pocket, ready to take out riptide.

'it's me.' says annabeth on the other side. 'all clear. get some rest.'

'thanks, goodnight annabeth.' says percy, visibly relaxing.

you walk over to the bed and lay down on the left side, leaving enough space for percy.

'if I find you on the floor when I wake up I'll make the rest of the quest even more miserable for you.' you mumble as you close your eyes. 'don't be a gentleman.'

'noted.' says percy with a smile, laying down on the other side of the bed, careful to leave more than enough space between the two of you.

it's cool, this is fine. laying next to you in a bed. nothing that could happen, you're just friends. right?

after a while, he can tell you're asleep by the slow breathing coming from your side of the bed.

he's keeping his distance, even if it means he nearly falls off of the bed. he's mind is spinning in circles about the fact you're laying right next to him.

but eventually, he falls asleep. after all, all four of you were utterly exhausted when you reached the motel earlier in the night.

it feels like way too soon when he's woken up again. he frowns, it's still dark outside. he shifts to get comfortable again. but then he feels something hard poke him in his ribs.

'oof.' he grunts softly, then rolls over to see if you're awake. why would you punch him in the middle of the night?

but when he sees you, he noticed your face is scrunched up in agony and you're mumbling something.

he frowns and watches you move around restlessly, nearly hitting him again.

but his frown disappears soon enough. he knows the feeling all too well.

you're having a nightmare.

a bad one, by the looks of it.

gently, he reaches out and pushes a strand of sweaty hair out of your face, then nudges your shoulder.

'hey, wake up.'

in response, you curl up even more so percy shakes you again, a little harder this time.

you wake up and immediately sit up, eyes wide in panic. your hand is scrambling for you belt, where you keep your knives.

'woah, hey, it's alright you're safe, you're with me.' says percy, holding your shoulders and forcing you to look at him.

his sea-green eyes are familiar and calm you down a little. you're breathing heavily and fully aware of percy holding on to your shoulders. you force yourself to push away from him, creating space between the two of you.

'I'm alright.' you say, closing your eyes and shaking your head slightly. you would not cry over something as stupid as a nightmare.

'want to talk about it?' says percy softly.

'no I'm fine.'

'talking mostly helps me.'

you sigh and start to fidget with your fingers. why does it feel so embarrassing? you're sure lots of demigods have nightmares, given what you go through on a daily basis.

'it was the gods.' you start. 'I'd failed some sort of quest and they let loose their powers on me. camp half-blood got destroyed. I couldn't find annabeth and grover. there was fire everywhere and you... fuck.'

'it's okay.' says percy softly, encouraging you to go on.

'I found you in the rubble of your cabin.' you whisper.

'shit, I'm sorry.'

'it's alright, I'm alright. you're here now.'

'you think you can try going back to sleep again?'

'yeah, I can try.'

the two of you lay down again, this time with a little less space between you.

'percy?' you say, slowly reaching out to him.

'yeah?'

'is it okay if I...?'

wordlessly, percy reaches out and pulls you against him, where you curl up against his side.

'thanks.' you say, feeling yourself relax again.

'I'll keep the nightmares away.' mumbles percy.

you smile to yourself, closing your eyes and letting percy's heartbeat lull you to sleep. you're confident nightmares wouldn't find you again. you're safe now.

— general dating hc's

pairing: percy jackson, annabeth chase, leo valdez, piper mclean, hazel levesque, jason grace, frank zhang (respectively) x gn!reader

word count: 3.0k part two

percy jackson

• underwater kisses!! all the time!! being a son of poseidon has its benefits. the whole experience is just magical fr. it's like being in a whole different world, where nothing else matters except for the two of you. the sensation of your lips touching, your bodies intertwined, and the sound of your breathing mixing with the water is simply unforgettable. the way your hands hold onto each other, the way your eyes lock, and the way your heart beats as one, it's a feeling that can't be replicated anywhere else.

• percy 100% teaches you how to skate. the first chance he gets, he'll lead you onto the smooth, concrete surface of the skate park with the intent of teaching you!!

he patiently guides you, holding your hands and rolling you along while walking beside you. he teaches you how to shift your weight, how to balance, and how to stop. and every time you stumble, he makes a huge show of catching you in his arms LMAO. like, it's not that serious, percy.

whenever he's skating alone, he can't help but think of you. :(( the way your hair sways in the wind, the sound of your laughter, and the warmth of your hand in his. he would often skate in circles, lost in thought, imagining you by his side. <33 (all the other skaters think he looks like a fool, but he doesn't care.)

• now don't tell me you two do not have matching jewelry, because you DO. he learns a lot about your style and preferences, (he knows if you look better in gold or silver) and the pretty necklaces and stuff are just a bonus!!

he wears a necklace with several charms all the time, since it was a gift from you! some of the charms include an ocean charm and a tiny silver skateboard that dangles from the delicate chain. whenever he misses you, he would reach up and touch the necklace, feeling the smooth metal under his fingers, and smile. <33

• whenever you explain things to percy, he nods his head in agreement, but you notice his gaze flickering towards your lips ever so often. you don't know what he's thinking, but his expression provides a pretty obvious hint as to what may be on his mind.

• growing up as a child of one of the big three can certainly take its toll on anyone, even percy. after a long day of training and preventing new campers from capsizing the canoes while racing with the naiads, all he wants is to melt into your embrace.

he sneaks into your cabin with you as soon as possible, laying down on your bed, a deep sigh escaping his lips and he stretches his neck from side to side, relishing in the brief moment of peace. his arms are outstretched, inviting you to join him, as he longs for the comfort and safety of your embrace.

it's clear that being in your presence has a calming effect on him, reassuring him that everything is going to be alright. <33

annabeth chase

• annabeth has a penchant for discovering new things to learn and become deeply invested in, and she talks to you about her newest interests all the time. when you take the time to listen to her ramblings about her current passions, she gets so excited!!

sometimes, you spend hours in the library researching the concepts and terminology she speaks of, just so that you can engage in a meaningful conversation with her instead of just nodding along. the effort is well worth it to see her reaction; the way her face lights up as she smiles, leaning in to give you a big kiss on the cheek as a reward!!

• but sometimes annabeth rambles way too much. like, wayyyy too much. i'm talking hours on end. while her voice is soothing and you enjoy lying in her arms while she speaks, it can be a lot at times.

and annabeth only stops talking when she's finished gushing. unless you kiss her first.

although she tries to act like your affection doesn't work on her, complaining with phrases like, "why did you do that," or "you didn't let me finish." but her tone clearly softens. her eyes crinkling at the corners, and soon enough her facade breaks and she can no longer hold back a smile. <33

• you guys still use pinky promises. it doesn't matter if she personally thinks it's trivial, she does it for your sake because she values your belief in it. and if anyone dares to make fun of it, she'd be glaring daggers at them the entire day. if looks could kill, they'd be dead.

(and after you two interlock pinkies she kisses the palm of your hand to seal the deal.)

• annabeth isn't big on PDA, but she definitely steals kisses when people aren't looking.

• annabeth love, love, LOVES reading to you!! especially when there's nobody around and it's just the two of you, your head on her lap as she reads aloud about the wonders of Richardsonian Romanesque style architecture... whatever that is. (but she makes it sound interesting so you don't care.)

• overall 10/10, what a queen.

leo valdez

• he's your portable heater fr. leo keeps you warm by holding you close. it's particularly convenient when you're nestled on his lap or resting against his chest.

• this man can COOK. he mainly cooks food from his heritage because it's a way for him to connect to his roots, but if you ask him to make a particular dish for you, he'll do it, no questions asked. it's a common sight to catch a glimpse of him in the kitchen, diligently chopping ingredients and following the recipe to your favorite dish, getting himself completely covered in smoke and steam by the end of the process, but the result is always delicious so neither of you care.

he'll often call you into the kitchen to taste-test his newest recipe, shoving the dish in your face and urging you to try it like, "here babe, taste it!!" with the brightest smile as he eagerly waits for your feedback. he values your opinions a lot!

• him calling you petnames in spanish >>> omg. among his favorites are "mi amor" (my love), "cariño" (darling), and "corazón" (sweetheart). he usually rotates between those three and it never fails to bring a blush to your cheeks because like, hello??? how could it not??? he's always quick to notice your reaction and can't resist teasing you, playful remarks leaving his lips like, "a little flustered now are we, mi amor?" 🙏🙏🙏

• no matter how long you've been together, leo still flirts with you like it's the first time he's seen you. he'll brace himself against the nearest doorframe and unleash the cheesiest pick-up line known to mankind. despite their predictability, you play along. the game ends when he asks you on a "first date."

• leo spends a lot of time tinkering in his workshop, so whenever boredom sets in, (or if he's just thinking of you) he likes to put his creativity to use by making various small creations with you on his mind. these items range from keychains, to mini jewelry boxes, and even small flowers carved out of metal scraps. (you now have enough to make a bouquet.) your nightstand and shelves are absolutely littered with his handiwork, and you take pride in owning each one of them. <33

• leo's the type of guy that twirls you around while hugging. there's something incredibly spontaneous and thrilling about the experience — just when you think he's only reaching for your hand, he suddenly lifts you off the ground and spins you around, generating a moment of pure joy before gently setting you down once again, and leaning back in for a normal hug.

• he's so whipped for you it's not even funny.

piper mclean

• piper hates being categorized as a typical child of aphrodite due to the expectations and assumptions that come with the title, especially given the reputation of some of her siblings. she's always quick to reassure you that she won't break your heart and that her love for you is truly genuine.

• piper has a soft spot for when you play with her hair; running your fingers through her choppy locks and especially when you braid it. when you gently scratch her scalp while brushing your nails through her hair, she gets lost in her own little world.

• piper isn't afraid to show you off if you're okay with it. like she's in a beautiful, loving relationship, why wouldn't she?? also she's a hand swinger FR. 🙏🙏🙏

• you guys have matching bracelets!! nothing fancy, just a bunch of multi-colored beads on a string, but she loves them so much. sometimes you dedicate dates to making these bracelets just because it's one of her favorite pastimes.

she has one with your name written on the beads, a couple with the titles of the albums you listen to together, as well as ones with your preferred color schemes. just anything to remind her of you. <33

her collection is so big that they now stack up to her arms. maybe it's becoming a problem.

• while piper doesn't like flaunting her wealth, if she sees that you have your eye on something she'll immediately buy it for you. no questions asked. you don't even need to say anything.

maybe you'll bring it up ONCE, not even asking her to buy it, just mentioning you were saving up for a particular item, and the next day it's on your bed with a note from her. when you ask her she'll just be like, "weren't you talking about it?"

• while piper is pretty self-conscious about her singing, she'll do it if you ask her to because she trusts you. if you're having trouble sleeping, she'll lay your head in her lap and sing a short melody, and it works every time. once you drift off, she’ll place a tender kiss on your forehead, (or multiple) and express how much you mean to her, because she can't be this sentimental when you're awake.

she's so in love omg.

hazel levesque

• she's the absolute sweetest girlfriend you could ever ask for! her sweet and loving nature is simply amazing and her love for you knows no bounds. she goes above and beyond to make you feel appreciated and loved in every way possible.

• she definitely loves to go horse-back riding with you. the sensation of the wind blowing through your hair, the warm sun kissing your skin, and the gentle sound of the horse's hooves rhythmically hitting the ground beneath you — it all feels like pure magic, especially since hazel is sharing the moment with you!

• over time, hazel got more comfortable with kisses. the first time you two shared a kiss, she timidly brushed her lips against yours before rapidly withdrawing, her hands instinctively covering her face in embarrassment.

but as time went by and your relationship progressed, she soon began to relax and gain confidence, especially with you relaxing and guiding her through every step of the way. <33

PDA isn't really her thing, but when the two of you are in private, she WILL shower you with kisses on various parts of your body, including your forehead, cheeks, neck, lips, and anywhere else she can reach. i feel like she'd especially love kissing your nose. it's quite endearing to watch her stand on her toes to give you a sweet smooch if you're tall, or simply grab your face and plant a gentle kiss on your nose if you're shorter.

• hazel is doing her best to learn about your interests, but like many things in the today's world, it's a learning process for her. but your help makes her feel more at ease in this modern world. there is still a lot that hazel doesn't fully comprehend, so she values the historical insights you share with her.

• hazel's love languages are acts of service and gift giving. she loves the way your eyes light up when she pampers you. she's also so patient when she helps you with your sword-fighting!! she goes the extra mile to help you master any technique, training with you for hours on end just to see your smile. she patiently guides you through each step, offering advice and encouragement along the way. her joy comes from your progress and happiness.

• okay this is a small thing but she always lets you have the last bite!! whether you're dining out or sharing popcorn at the movies, hazel is always mindful of ensuring that you get the last bite/handful. <33

she's so cute omg.

jason grace

• i think most of us know how touch starved this man is, but he slowly eases into romantic gestures. after a long day of praetor duties, all he wants to do is melt in your arms as you whisper sweet nothings to him.

jason loovvees resting his forehead against yours. it just brings him a sense of comfort and solace, really just your presence itself makes him feel safe. <33

• jason grows to love hand-holding! it starts off with just linking pinkies, but progresses when you take his calloused palms into yours. from the second you two intertwine hands, he's hooked.

he doesn't really know how to initiate hand-holding, so he often makes excuses like, "here, let's compare hand sizes." or "aren't you cold? let me warm up your hands for you." and proceeds to take both of your hands in his without waiting for a response because he just can't ask upfront. :(( (don't worry, he gets over it as the relationship progresses.) his GRIP on your hand is so noticeable LMAO. it's like he's afraid you'll disappear if he lets go.

he most definitely places kisses on your hand. 🙏🙏🙏 i'm talking regency era jane austen style kisses to your fingertips or palm, looking away with a visible blush. <33

• hear me out, considering his expertise in combat, this man has gotta have some beefy arms okayyy?? like, it's hard not to stare at them. and once he rolls up his sleeves, it's all over FR.

he does it without thinking at first, whether it's tidying up his cabin, strategizing battle plans, or sometimes just mindlessly sighing and rolling up his sleeves when something's on his mind. but he starts to notice how your gaze lingers on his forearms a little too long to be considered "normal", and once he figures it all out, he's having a whole field day with it.

basically, he makes a point to show off his arms around you whenever he could. it drives you crazy, and guess what? he's well aware of it. you know this given that he'll occasionally flash one of his rare jason grace smiles, which later transitions into a grin with a slightly raised lip. 🙏🙏🙏

• he's such a gentleman fr. even little things like holding open doors for you even if it means waiting a few extra moments, offering his sweater when you're cold without hesitation, or fixing up a plate for you during dinner, he's always trying to make life a little easier for you. <33

frank zhang

• frank gives the best bear hugs! (both literally and figuratively.) in the early stages of a relationship, he may come across as a bit awkward. not because he doesn't want to initiate anything, but rather because he's a bit unsure of himself. he takes his time to get to know you and build trust before stepping up his game and expressing his love in more obvious ways. as time passes, he becomes more comfortable and eases into the relationship at a sweet and slow pace, making sure to respect your boundaries and wishes. :((

he loves holding you and making you feel loved, so cuddles aren't uncommon. he takes care to express his affection in a way that makes you feels comfortable and appreciated!! he's always asking you, "do you feel alright?" or "is this fine?" because what may be okay one day might not be okay the next.

typically, he prefers to be the big spoon, but he's is also happy being the little spoon, because he believes that vulnerability and intimacy go both ways in a relationship!!

• frank has the ability to shapeshift into tons of different animals, and he uses this to his advantage while cuddling with you!! imagine waking up to find a cuddly koala bear clinging onto you protectively one day, and then the next day, holding a sweet and adorable tea-cup sized labrador puppy in your hands. the cuddling possibilities are endless!!

• your decision to date frank despite any challenges along the way has had such an impact on his self-esteem. like, seriously!! every word of praise you offer him is treasured, and he adores being around you; in fact, he flourishes in your presence. your encouragement has really made a difference in his life. <33

• he love, love, LOVES holding your hand!! he seems to find every opportunity to intertwine his fingers with yours, and in moments of stress or anxiety, he'll often tap or lightly pull on your hand as if seeking reassurance because your touch brings him a sense of comfort and safety.

• considering that frank's height ranges from 6'3-6'6, you're probably shorter than him. and yeah, he definitely utilizes his height advantage around you.

he loves by approaching you from behind and embracing you, regardless of your own height, and another plus is that he can easily lean down for a kiss!!

his height is particularly convenient around high shelves or objects that may be out of your reach. his height also provides a sense of protection and security for you because he can easily shield you from any harm that may come your way!

overall, 10/10 would date again.

a/n

Percy Jackson x Fem!Hades!Reader Synopsis: Percy finally takes you on that date, who would've thought he was so romantic !!! Warning(s): some swearing Word Count: 2930 A/N: felt like adding some social media into this one, ignore all there faces, imagine whoever you want for the photos

╰➤ MASTERLIST pt4

The shower is your thinking spot. You think about anything. You think about your day, things you have to do, what you're gonna eat later, basically anything. Except now, all you could think about was Percy. The more you think about it, the more you realize how much time you've actually spent thinking about him in the past. Maybe not the way you are right now, mostly just pranking, but still. After about half an hour of standing in the water thinking of Percy, it's time to get out.

After hopping out, and changing into some clothes, you head to your room. You decided to check if you had any messages on your phone. Instead, you found a mention on Instagram from Percy.

After laughing and going through Percy's comments, you decided to FaceTime Silena and Annabeth. They pick up immediately.

"Y/N" Annabeth and Silena shouted.

"Hey guys" you said calmly, sticking out your tongue.

"Erm, explain??" Said Silena. And you did. You explained everything that happened, starting from when you pulled him out of class, all the way till when Nico sadly interrupted the two of you. He was never gonna let you live that down and you knew it. By the time you were finished their eyes were WIDE.

"Bro Nicos so funny" Annabeth was laughing so hard at that fact Nico pulled you out of Percy's grasp. "Love that kid."

"No cause let me catch him with Will" you said, making to two on the phone laugh even harder. "Let's see whos laughing then!"

After everyone caught their breathes, Silena spoke up. "So tell us, what's happening on this little date." Silena was wiggling her eyebrows as she spoke.

"Well, I actually don't know yet-" you cut yourself off when you saw a text from Percy. "Speak of the devil he just texted me."

"Well what does it say" Annabeth demanded.

'Meet me at my dorm tomorrow at 5. Wear something nice.'

"His dorm at 5. He said wear something nice" you read aloud.

"What a little romantic" Silena said.

"Gods, you and Percy are my favorite show right now" Annabeth said.

"Heyy, thats what my mom said" Silena shared happily.

"Alright guys I'm gonna go now, night night" you said

"Goodnightt" Silena and Annabeth said simultaneously.

After hanging up the phone you remembered to text Percy back before putting your phone down. You decided to grab your laptop and watch some Netflix. After a few episodes of Gilmore Girls, you accidentally dozed off without realizing.

[12:06] AM

You woke up to the sound of your phone vibrating next to you. You picked it up to check the caller ID. 'water boy.' At this hour?

"Percy?" You answered groggily.

"Oh, did I wake up, sorry I'll go" Percy apologized.

"Wait no, no. It's fine, whats up" you quickly spit out. You were now sitting up in your bed.

"Oh um, I just can't sleep, so I wanted to come over. Like last time you know" Percy asked. You smiled at the request.

"Sure Percy," you were kinda warm. "I'll be waiting." And with that you both hung up the phone. Ten minutes pass by and you get a text from Percy.

'Hey I'm here, I didn't want to wake up Nico or something.'

Without responding you, you quickly put your phone down and speedily, but quietly, ran toward the door and swung it open.

"Someones excited to see me, aren't they" Percy laughed as he walked inside.

"Hey you're the one who wanted to come over" you pointed out as you started walking to your room with Percy trailing behind. "Someone wanted a little sleepover" you started to tease.

"And you're the one who let me wake you up and insisted I came over." You stopped in your tracks, turning around to stare at Percy with your jaw on the floor. "Like you just had to ask, no need to twist my arm about it."

"Okay lets just get to my room buddy" you said as you continued to make your way back to your room.

"To your bedroom already? Buy me a drink first maybe" You let out an exasperated sigh.

"Your minds in the gutter. And let's be honest," you turned your head around to look up at Percy "you wouldn't need me to get you a drink to get you in that bedroom." You jokingly threw a flirty wink and made your way to your bedroom, almost leaving behind a flustered Percy. You jumped into your bed and Percy followed next to you.

"Anyways I'm tired come here." Percy said as he pulled you into his embrace, making you laugh. You wrapped your arms around before you looked at him.

"Wow, you really came over to sleep in my bed with me" you said.

"Well of course, why? Did you think I came over for something" Percy smirked at you. You rolled your eyes before snuggling in closer.

"No I didn't, now go to sleep water boy" you said into his chest.

Percy kissed the top of your head before saying goodnight. The both of you were out and started dreaming of each other.

[11:19] AM

When you woke up, you noticed you were alone again. You were sad until you turned over and saw a note lying on your nightstand. AW, Percy wrote you a note with your pink glitter pen. It said

'Sorry to just leave you alone, you seemed so peaceful I didn't want to wake you. I left to go set up for later, see you later styx girl ;)'

You held the note up and smiled as you read it. Styx girl was something he came up with back at camp. You hated him but the name was catchy so you didn't mind it. After finishing you put the note back down and headed out to the kitchen and found your amazing brother, Nico, making two smores pop tarts.

"I hope one of those are for me" you said.

"Oh of course your hungry" um, rude?

"I literally just woke up, what with your attitude kid?"

"No attitude. Here" he threw you one of the pop tarts and you just barely caught it mid air.

"You couldn't just leave it on a plate?" You looked at him wide-eyed as he almost just socked with you a pop tart.

"I definitely could've" he looked at you with a face saying, 'but why would I do that when I could smack you with a pop tart.'

"Okay.." you started to walk away and sat in the living room of your dorms common area. After you finish slumming down your pop tart you start slouching down on the couch and scroll through your phone.

"So Y/N," Nico stared as he creeped on over to the couch. "Do you think you could just sleep over at Percy's tonight?"

You looked up at Nico to see if he was joking but he was looking at you straight faced. "Excuse me" you asked happily, knowing why he made the request.

"You're excused" he said. You continued to stare at him till he said what you wanted to hear. And he knew what you were waiting for too. "Wills sleeping over."

"Of course I can leave the lovebirds alone!" You said as you let out a toothy, close-eyed grin. Nico just rolled his eyes and scoffed as he walked off, annoyed by his sisters teasing.

'Knock, knock'

Who could that be?

"It's Annabeth and Silena, OPEN UP" Annabeth yelled as she banged on the door. You groaned and yelled back at her as you went to open the door before it was knocked down.

"No need to break down my door, I'm right here" you said as you stepped aside to let the girls in.

"We wanted to borrow you before that little boy does" Annabeth joked.

"A little girls day, if you will. Plus we could help you get ready perhaps" Silena said.

"Alright, alright. I think I might have some face masks or something we could do." You said. You and the other two girls spent the day gossiping and just relaxing as the day flew by.

You put your phone in your pocket and kept walking out to Percy's dorm. You couldn't help but smile on your way over, you couldn't believe it. Percy was setting up a date for you, you. You still couldn't stop thinking about what he said when you guys were out at the beach riding the hippocampi. How he said he should've taken you out before you guys started hating on each other. Is this something he had thought about for a while? Did he always think you were cute or something. Well if he did, it didn't show. Ha.

You kept thinking as you finally made it to Percy's dorm, and you thought it would be funny if you did it again. And by it, you meant banging on the door till there was a hole in it. Though, before you could hit the door a second time, Percy was already opening it.

"Let's calm down with that fist of fury now shall we" Percy said as he took your hand in his. "Follow me." Not like you had a choice, since he never let go of your hand and it didn't seem like he planned too. As he dragged you to this date location, you couldn't help but admire Percy. He cleaned up well. That black button down, with the top button undone and with the sleeves rolled up? Wow. You were truly a simple, simple woman.

And finally you made it, the rooftop. It was a relaxing evening. The sunset was beautiful out, the breeze was gently, and after a few seconds, you noticed it. Percy had set up a little picnic that was set on the edge of the roof giving a perfect view of the sky. "Let's take a seat" Percy said.

When you guys sat down you looked inside the basket sitting in between the two of you. Blue. It was filled blue food, mostly sweets, and it all looked so good. "So Percy is your favorite color pink, just wondering" you joked with Percy. He just laughed.

"Blue food is a tradition thing between me and my mom. Thought I'd let you in on it" Percy explained. All you could think was 'aw.' You knew how close him and his mom were. I mean he even he mouthed off your dad, the god of the underworld, to get her home. That's ballsy. You wondered what he'd think about how you've taken a liking to this boy.

"Wow, I feel so special" Percy smiled at you as you took a bite into one of the cookies. "Holy shit. This is so goood" you were basically rolling your eyes to the back of your head as you said this.

"Wow, they look good, but are you sure its cookies? Are you sure you're not hiding anything somewhere?" Percy said as he quiet down and tried to listen for a suspicious noise. It took you a second to understand his joke before you smacked him in the arm with a shocked look on your face.

"Wow! You expect that on a first date! What do you think I am? A blasphemous whore?" You and Percy leaned over on each other, laughing so hard you couldn't breathe. As you both calmed down you spoke up again. "No but really, these are really good."

"It's my moms recipe, I was worried I would mess it up so I made her stay on the phone the whole time I made them." Percy said.

"Aw you called your mom to help you with a date" you said. His little mama's boy side was something you always liked about him. Wait.

"Yeah I did, she's like Annabeth and Silena. Always pestering me about you" you stared at his with admiration.

"You would talk to her about me" You asked, you were probably grinning from ear to ear.

"Of course I told my mom about the girl who was threatening to kill me every few seconds. She even knows about the snake in my bed." you started laughing.

"Well, I'm glad we're both past that." You laid back and looked up at the sky that was now covered in stars. Percy followed after you. "The views amazing."

"Yeah" Percy said in almost a whisper. You turned to you when you realized he was looking at you when he said that. Making you the amazing view.

You playfully smacked his arm and rolled your eyes before shouting out "woow you're soo cornyy" you giggled out. Percy started tickling you viscously.

"Take it back" Percy didn't stop, not even till you were out of breathe.

"Fine, fine, I take it back. You're not corny, you're the most romantic man I've ever met" and with that he finally stopped. Not before getting you to lay relaxingly on his chest. You were now both stargazing and just enjoying each others presence.

"I'm glad we did this" you said.

"Me too" Percy said as he kissed the top of your head. After he did that, you leaned up on rested on your elbows while your head hovered his. That's when Percy brought his hand to behind you neck and pulled you in. You guys started making out softly. As it went on for longer, it got more intense. You swung one leg over and straddled him. Both your hands in his soft hair while hands gripped on your waist. Slowly sliding lower as he gripped on the top of your thighs and pulled you closer..

[8:51] PM

You were sitting up in Percy's bed, in Percy's shirt, scrolling through your phone. Wow, on a roof. Not expected at all. Finally, Percy walked back in the room wearing a pair of sweats and laid down next to you. He looked at you with stars in his eyes. He lifted his hand up and making soft circles on your neck, tracing the newly formed purple spots on it.

"I stand by what I said the other day, you looked good in my clothes. Maybe even better with no pants on" as Percy said that, you took the hand that was tracing circles and threaded your fingers threw it.

"Aw you don't think of me as a blasphemous whore even after doing it on the first date."

"I could never think of you like that."

You slide over and sat on top of Percy again. "AGAIN?" he looked at you with a shocked face, but not actually shocked of course, just messing with you. You softly smacked his chest before laying down and just relaxing. You closed your eyes and just embraced Percy.

You guys were quiet for awhile before Percy asked "soo, what now? What are we?"

"What do you want us to be?"

"I'm not letting you leave this dorm if you're anything less than my girlfriend." Percy started sitting up, making you do so as well. You couldn't believe what you were hearing, maybe just a little. "I let us go around and hate each other for years, I'm not missing my chance again, so please, let me just be your boyfriend."

Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy. SHIT. These few days have been insane. It truly didn't take long for Percy to make you feel things you never would have expected to feel for him in a million years. Who would've thought a night of drinking would've brought you together. Definitely not you.

"I mean if you reallyy want to be, then, yes you CANN be my boyfriend." You were trying your best to finish your sentence without giggling. This second you stopped talking Percy just grabbed your face and kissed you fiercely. You could feel each others smiling as you did so. And suddenly you were back to laying down and Percy was back on top of you.

You now had a boyfriend and his name was Percy Jackson. And you couldn't be happier.

..............................................................................................................................

Did I eat be honest. Maybe pt 5 if the people still want it.

No cause now I need more. Like I don't know headcannons or something about how they got together and how their parents reacted.

LIKR IMAGINE THE FAMILY GATHERINGS!SGAHSJSKSN

Something- anything please I am begging😭

percy jackson x daughter of amphitrite! reader headcanons.

a / n : feeding my inner self ship here LMAO and also this is literally headcanons that made up from my ass, so idk if amphitrite would have a cabin, because they didn't make one even for her honor sooo.. yeah

warnings : cursing, fighting, blood mention, injury mention, basically just two waterbenders in love

- it was all camp half blood's fault

- you didn't had a cabin of your own, but they thought you staying in the poseidon cabin was the best decision

- well it was.. until percy got claimed

- you both had to share the same cabin, and he wasn't the best at keeping it clean

- all those years, getting a 10 from the cabin check, you got 5 because of him

- and it made you furious

- but, a nice girl you are, instead of breaking his heart, you warned him

- "next time we get a 5 from the cabin check, i will break your surfboard into pieces 😊"

- "yes ma'am 🫡" no ofc he didn't said that

- but he thought that as he nervously shake his head

- well, he didn't really had a time to clean his cabin, so the promise was forgotton

- and you learned to pick up after his back

- it was a beautiful afternoon when annabeth barged into your cabin

- "percy's in a fight and we can't stop him."

- these are the questions that you should've asked when she said that : what's that have to do with me? what am i even gonna do? why are you coming to me? what the fu-

- but what you did instead : run to percy

- alright, i guess you two have a bond now

- "alright seaweed brain, get your ass back up," you said as you yanked grabbed him by the arm and pushing him aside

- he tried to run to the boy he was beating back again, but you just pushed him by his chest and slowly lead him to your cabin

- "dude what the hell is going on with you?" you asked as you both enter. he was panting, sitting on his bed and holding his head. "percy? i asked you a question."

- "he was saying something shitty about you, and i couldn't just stand there and listen him. okay?" he said, not facing you.

- oh

- ooohhhhhh

- 😏

- "why though?" you sat next to him on the bed, too suprised to even get mad at him

- "you always got my back in cabin check so, i got your back outside, i guess." he simply shrugged

- alright mr in love

- and with that, you both got really close

- this was your breaking point in 'awkward energy'

- surfing competitions where it's just you two racing? check

- married dolphin and shark plushies? check

- going to an aquarium? double check

- the animals were once your enemy back then because of your mother, was your friends now

- same as percy

- and when you both started dating, percy realised how relaxed he was around you

- like when he was little, he would listen to ocean sounds to calm himself down after a stressful day

- and you have the same affect on him

- later he learned that children of amphitrite have that affect on children of poseidon and that's why annabeth bringed you that day

- talking of the parents

- the meeting was the most hilarious thing happened to you both

- because they already knew

- one time. ONE TIME YOU KISSED PERCY UNDERWATER AND THE FUCKING FISH WERE ALREADY EVERYWHERE-

- "ohh lord perseus and princess y/n"

- "ohh they're kissing"

- and suprisingly gossip spreads around ocean VERY FAST

- you both got a call from atlantic or smth to get there fast

- they weren't angry or anything, poseidon loved you and weirdly your mom loved percy

- they were just.. suprised

- "what type of history shit is going on here-"

- "POSEIDON."

- you understand where percy got his humor from now

- alright moving on to real parent SALLY MF JACKSON!!

- you think you being her ex's wife's daughter will make her hate you?

- well yeah, but sally jackson is the definition of angel

- and she doesn't care about your godly side as long as you're making percy happy by just being in his life

- so as you can say, you guys are already besties

- moving on again to u and percy

- underwater kisses duh

- silly blue shirts about fishes

- watching ariel, moana, lost fish nemo and dory and all of the sea shit together

- and recreating the musical scenes

- you having a signature pegasus friend like him

- and him having a dolphin one like you

- you guys just rule the lake atp

- living in the same cabin is the best thing ever happened to percy

- because he get to cuddle you EVERY NIGHT without having to worry about getting caught

- and tyson? basically your children

- seashell jewelry gifts from percy

- always wearing blue together

- also eating blue food

alright sorry to be a bitch about casting, but i’m gonna bc i do think it’s important to illustrating the feel of a character (if you come to me to bitch and whine about black annabeth get the fuck off my lawn). myself and others have already talked at length about the writing of the series, so if you’re looking for more weighty criticism, just scroll thru the pjo crit tag, now is my time to be a stickler for details, and this is a live action show, a visual medium, the casting is important for reasons beyond an actor’s ability to deliver lines. embodying the character purely in an actor’s personality isn’t enough—they need to physically feel like they could be this person to really sell it (there’s also something to be said abt not having to cast someone who supposedly feels like the character they’re playing just as themself—it’s called acting for a reason, but i digress).

just. take in the official viria pjo art of sally jackson.

look at this woman. look at her!! that is MOTHER. that is the woman who worked herself to the bone to single handedly raise perseus jackson, flaws and all. that is the woman who rocked up to the battle of manhattan with a shotgun and A WILL. that is the woman poseidon himself called a queen amongst women and offered a palace to. with warm lighting only outshone by her reassuring smile and the candle of percy’s blue birthday cupcake—that’s sally jackson. the composition of it, her pose and welcoming smile, makes the viewer feel like we are percy jackson, and it’s our birthday we’re being beckoned to join in the celebration of, a special moment between mother and child.

now look at this woman.

i feel like i’ve had this english teacher before, asking me why my autistic ass was tweaking out in the middle of her lesson on iambic peranimeter. i’m sure she’s a nice lady in real life, it’s nothing against her as a person or her skills as an actress, to me she just lacks the warmth and gentleness crucial to sally jackson’s feel as a character. that is my own subjective take. she doesn’t make my shoulders relax at the sight of her. her smile doesn’t make the tightness in my chest go away. looking at this sally jackson, i feel everything her character ISN’T meant to embody. i start feeling stressed out. like everything is somehow a lesson and she has grand expectations of my answer. and the script does NOT do her any favors with lines like “you decide how ugly this gets” at VERY MINOR “outbursts” of percy’s. paired together, the script and the casting, we get what feels more like all the chastising teachers in percy’s life rather than his loving and patient MOTHER. and i don’t wanna hear another one of y’all defend this depiction as more accurate to parents of ND children or i’m gonna lose it.

now finally, look at this woman.

we can bash the pjo movies for all their inaccuracies and adaptation flaws, but if there’s one thing they nailed, it’s sally jackson. the kind eyes. the welcoming and reassuring gaze. a tired yet inherently trustworthy face. she’s so open. she feels so special, so giving, even if she herself has little. i can see myself laughing in her kitchen, making seven-layer dip or blue cookies. i can see her handing me an extra few jelly beans after a long shift at the candy store. i can see myself as percy jackson, able to put aside another school expulsion because that’s my mother and she’ll never let me doubt she loves me. i can see why poseidon, god of the sea, would fall in love with her in a way he hadn’t in thousands of years. i can see him offering her the world.

i don’t know if this casting impacted the official art, it did come first, maybe that’s a well-known fact and i just sound like a jackass—nor is official art is the end all be all (looking the og official pjo art dead in the eyes)—but this woman just deeply strikes me as the same sally jackson as the one in viria’s art and the pjo books. she’s sally jackson in way show sally vehemently just… is not.

#pointing at show sally #this woman looks like she’ll yell at me #this woman looks like she’s going to tell me to wait outside in the hall to talk after class #just because rick riordan slapped a ‘sally jackson’ name tag to her does not magically make her feel like sally jackson to me #literally any other depiction of sally jackson? mom. momma.#that’s my mother she’s taking me to montauk now #anyways school has been busy as hell ik i have people to get back to and asks to answer i just wanted to crank out a quick post #that i’ve been wanting to get to for a while #pjo show crit #pjo tv crit #ris raves

Luke, dying: Did you love me?

Annabeth: Like a—

Percy: Yes.

*Percy and Luke look into each other’s eyes and Percy kisses him gently.*

*I'm just going to go crazy with this! And borrow some inspiration from a show my mom likes called Grey's Anatomy. Also hope you don't mind me changing canon a bit.*

Nico didn't know what happened. At a certain point the whole building shook as if a tiny earthquake was happening. Loud painful screams filled everywhere. It terrified Nico because they sounded like someone familiar to him. They sounded like Percy Jackson.

Of course, before he could investigate Nico had slipped and hit his head from falling debre. He didn't know how long he was asleep. But he felt someone trying to wake him up.

"Nico wake up! Wake up I need your help!"

Nico finally did wake up, and he woke up to the last person he wanted to ever see. Blonde curly hair and silver eyes of one Annabeth Chase angrily starring down at him.

"Get up! I need your help!", the daughter of Athena stated. Not asked, stated, as if it was an already done deal. Nico ignores her and looks around. The room leading to the gods thrones and hearth is in shambles. Pieces of ceiling everywhere. Furniture broken, glass windows shattered. A pillar broken and fallen over is blocking the door way to the throne room.

"NICO! Are you even listening to me?"

"No. Where is Percy? You and Grover were suppose to be with him. What happened?"

"That's what I've been trying to tell you! Percy kicked us both out of the room. Than he started making earthquakes happen!"

Nico's eyes widen at this, both in fear and worry.

"Grover went to get help, I've been stuck by the door trying to move debris. Percy won't listen. He's all alone in there with him."

"With who? What exactly happened?"

Annabeths eyes go sad.

~flashback~

"I'm not giving him a knife so he can kill himself Annabeth!"

"It's part of the Prophecy you have to!"

"Percy it will be alright. I'm your enemy anyway remember?"

"NO!"

When the deed was done it felt like Percy had stabbed himself too. What makes him break and shatter is that he hands the knife. It has to be him.

Percy holding Luke in his arms after stabbing himself, Annabeth kneeling next to them. Blood is staining Percy's arms. Luke's breathing is slowly down. His blue sky eyes look hazy and clouded.

Luke looks up to both of them. His voice asks desperately, "Did you love me?" A bubble of blood comes out of his mouth and stains his lips. It makes Percy start crying, desperate too for every second so Luke can stay longer.

Annabeth starts to say, "I've only seen you as a brother, but I dont-

Before she can finish the room starts shaking. Percy with a dark voice and the ocean in his eyes, "Annabeth stop it!" It scares Annabeth into dead silence.

Than Percy turns back to Luke, "She loves you ok Luke. Even Thalia and the other campers still love you ok. They were angry at what you did, but everyone still loves you. Your mom still loves you."

Luke stares at Percy, as if waiting.

"I love you too, ok Luke. So you can't die. You have so many people who still love you." Percy sobs in between words.

Luke finally smiles, and brings Percy's face close to his. " I love you Percy, I think I always have."

Luke gentle as a feather kisses a shocked Percy's lips. Blood staining his. "I'll try for reincarnation. Either way I'll see you in Elysium ok."

Percy's eyes go round with fear." No no no no, Luke you have to stay with me ok. Stay with me."

"We're soulmates Percy. We'll find each other again. I promise."

Luke's eyes flutter shut. And they don't open again. The light in Percy's eyes go with him. That's when the screaming, and the shaking of the whole building really starts.

~end flashback~

"You just left him in the room!"

"What did you expect me to do?! He almost killed us!"

Nico says nothing, just gives Annabeth a dark look. Than wordlessly grabs her arm and shadow travels into the room Percy is in. What they find is heartbreaking.

Percy leaning against one wall with a dead Luke in his arms. From how Percy has them positioned. It looks like Luke is just sleeping(if it wasn't for the blood and the paleness of death), with Percy leaning his head against Luke's neck.

Nico does not like the look in Percy's eyes. They look lifeless and numb. As if Percy is not all there.

Nico drops Annabeths arm and the both of them head towards Percy. Kneeling in front of him.

"Percy we need to go. The gods cannot find out you destroyed their throne room,"Annabeth says.

Percy doesn't answer. He just looks ahead at nothing. Holding Luke's dead body gently.

Annabeth goes to touch Percy. That's what finally gets a reaction.

"Don't. Touch. Me." Percy says this quietly, but cold. Sad. Darkness in his voice.

Nico drags Annabeth's hand away. Annabeth still doesn't take the hint. "Percy we need to move!"

"Leave me alone I want to stay with Luke."

Annabeth looks at Nico with wide troubled eyes. "Go stand over there. I'll deal with this," Nico tells Annabeth. She agrees. Which is a surprise, but Nico is grateful. Nico kneels closer to Percy but not touching him.

"Percy, I know you want to stay here with him. But you can't." Nico speaks softly and gently.

"Leave me alone." Percy voice replies dull and lifeless.

"Percy that's not Luke anymore."

Percy at that, holds Luke closer and closes his eyes tight. "Shut. Up."

"Percy the minute he died. Is when he stopped being Luke. His soul is probably in the underworld by now. I know you love him," Nico tears up at this, but pushes down his feelings and continues. He is a son of Hades.

"He probably loves you too. And someone who loves you like that would not want to see you do this to yourself. Because that's not Luke, not anymore"

At that Percy finally looks at Nico. There's a little life in his eyes. "You want to hear something crazy? I was never ment to be the hero in the prophecy. My whole job, was to hand Luke, the real hero. The knife to kill himself himself with." Percy starts laughing at this. With tears coming out of his eyes. One of his hands runs through Luke's hair. "My only job was to kill my soulmate at the right moment. Right before he died he was telling me he loved me. He loves me. And now he's dead from me helping him kill himself!" Percy starts sobbing and laughing. "Isn't that ridiculous? Isn't that the most ridiculous piece of crap you ever heard!" Percy than cries into Luke's neck. Nico starts crying too. He gently takes a hold of Percy's arm to hold him. Percy let's go of Luke(finally) and let's Nico hold him. Crying in his arms. Crying so loud it echos in the room. Nico rocks Percy in his arms saying nothing.

Luke's corpse stays leaning by the walls. Still looking like he's just sleeping.

@dark-emperor-ciska I took a lot from this scene in a show my mom loves called greys anatomy. I'm not a fan. But that scene this is based on hit me really hard. it gave me inspiration. If you want a link to said scene let me know. I hope you like this. I don't think it's any good.

Hello! I start writing my own fanfiction after reading yours! You are really inspiring me to try writing a story of my own and want your opinion! Basically, I'm writing RoR x Percy Jackson, (female Percy, like yours), but I will be writing a few twists of my own. For example, instead of Percy get teleported to RoR universe, they got teleport to Percy's universe instead. So;

1. Percy, (Percilla, I like that name and I also want to use Anthonius as Annabeth's male counterpart if you alright with it) is 18 years old and I planned to make that she lives at the Camp and works or helps as tutors and instructors for the younger kids.

2. I'm suck at smut and romance... So I'm not sure to add this element. Maybe romance but not smut because I sucked at it.

3. I want to make it as if Percy had long stopped hoping for PJO! Poseidon to act as her dad, but still longs for a loving father figure.

4. RoR!Poseidon is disgusted of his pjo! Poseidon's actions and behavior, making children non-stop but not once taking responsibility over them, or the very least monetary support.

5. I'm following bits of Young Gods too (my new favorite fanfic too, thanks for suggesting btw), and made all of the Gods and Goddesses were shocked, including Hera and Odin when the Half-blood children getting punished for their Godly parent's mistakes. Cue, possibly mass adoption.

That's all... Is this too much or should I dropped some parts?

wait hold on, are YOU the anon that asked to make an ao3 fandom tag for arsenic blues??? 😭😭 pls if you are, whats ur ao3 username cuz me and this other anon (who i have yet to reply to still) wanna know 😭😭😭

but anyway, everything about your fic so far sounds great! there's one thing i wanna add tho, idk if the author of young gods got the oath worldbuilding from me or not, but i made a post talking more about the oath stuff in this post! you're welcome to use that idea too or even tweak it since mine was inspired by the actual myths about swearing an oath.

"Cheating isn't winning."

"Technically, choosing an object outside of the car that we left in the dust ten miles ago isn't cheating."

"You sound like Malcom," I huffed, crossing my arms and leaning back in my seat. Luke just chuckled, shooting me a grin from the driver's seat as we cruised along the highway. Luke and I had been in the car for almost three hours now, on the sixth day of our cross-country road trip from camp. For the first time in a very long time, we were leaving the place we'd called home and had never really been allowed to leave.

I'd gotten to Camp Half-Blood the year after Luke, although we were the same age, and with one exception that hadn't gone well, neither of us had left the camp's boarders since. Until now.

This past year, Luke and I had decided it was time for us to leave, to go do something with our lives now that we were both technically adults. Sitting day after day, month after month, within the boarders of Camp Half Blood wasn't sustainable for the rest of our lives, and I'd noticed it having a bad effect on Luke especially. So, we'd spent the last year preparing for and submitting applications to college, and by some miracle we'd both gotten into the same place. Annabeth, although she would only be starting sixth grade in the coming weeks, had helped us a lot, and about six days ago Luke and I had officially left camp with the end goal of Salem, Oregon in mind.

It hadn't been an easy road trip, especially since we couldn't use phones to help with navigation. But we'd managed alright. We were together, after all, and I swear with every mile we put between us and Camp Half-Blood Luke's spirits had lifted. Enough for him to tease me while cheating at I Spy.

"Alright, new game," I declared, sitting forward in my seat and looking at the scenery around us. "How about... twenty questions?"

"Sure," Luke said, still with a little laugh in his voice. As annoying as his cheating was, I couldn't ignore how happy I was to see him smiling so freely again.

"Alright... I've got something, go ahead."

Luke and I passed another hour that way, laughing as we thought up more and more ridiculous things to try to get the other to guess. After four years of knowing each other and dating for a year and a half of that, we knew each other well enough that truly stumping each other was basically impossible. After Luke successfully guessed that I was thinking of a bearcat, our new school's mascot (whatever the hell a bearcat was), he pointed up ahead of us instead of continuing the game.

"Look, we're officially crossing the boarder from Idaho to Oregon. Last one before we get to school."

"Home stretch," I said, smiling and reaching over the console in the middle of the car to take Luke's hand. "I'm glad we decided to do this."

"Me too."

A little glimpse of the storm clouds passed over his face, but unlike at camp, this time they cleared quickly. He shot me another smile as we drove over the state line and into Oregon. With more than two thousand miles in our rearview mirror, only about two hundred were left between us and the newest chapter in our lives.

"I hope Annabeth's going to be alright without us there," Luke said after moment's hesitation. We'd both been hesitant to completely leave her behind, but she'd assured us all summer that she wanted us to go.

"I'm sure she will be," I said. "Besides, we can Iris Message her all the time to keep in touch. It'll be like we never left."

"It's times like this that the no technology thing gets... frustrating."

"What?" I asked, feigning surprise and putting a hand to my heart to really sell the drama. "You're telling me you're not looking forward to taking only paper notes for college, and to figuring out how to turn in assignments without using a computer?"

"Believe it or not, no," said Luke with a little laugh. There was no question that the year ahead of us would be incredibly strange and full of challenges, but I knew we'd figure out a way through them, together. That's what all our training at camp had been for, after all. Although, the problem solving they'd been preparing us for had been a little more combat-based.

"Maybe Annabeth can come visit us for a break or something," I mused, kicking back in my seat and watching the trees fly past us on either side. I'd never been this far West before, and it looked incredibly different than anything I saw back home.

"Do you still want to visit camp over the winter break?" he asked. His voice was casual, but I thought I heard something else underneath his words, something a little more tense and brittle. "Go back for the Winter Solstice on Olympus?"

I paused, thinking my words over carefully and trying to gauge how Luke felt. Finally, tentatively, I responded.

"I don't know... If we're settled in here, and neither of us really wants to fly... I don't know if I'll want to leave our new lives after only four months being here."

Luke nodded, and I thought I saw his shoulders relax, just slightly.

"Yeah. Yeah, I think so too. We can decide later, of course, but... I think I want to stay here too."

I squeezed his hand lightly, and gave him a warm smile when he turned to look at me. He returned with a grin of his own, and after a moment of just enjoying the moment here, together, the two of us against the world, I leaned forward and cranked up the volume on the radio.

A little bit of luck must've followed us so far, because one of my absolute favorite songs was on, and I didn't hesitate to scream-sing the words at the top of my lungs. By the end of the day, Luke and I would be moving into a tiny apartment we'd found just on the edge of campus. In the morning, we'd gather materials and get ready to start our classes, and then the day after our new lives would begin. I had a feeling we probably wouldn't go back to our old lives, ever, even though Luke didn't seem to want to talk about permanently closing that door yet. But I didn't mind. The Olympians were overrated anyway, and I'd be happy to live like a normal college kid with the guy I loved, free from their influence and the problems they brought with them.

Daughter of Olympus (Leo Valdez xFem!Oc)

A/N: I'll see y'all in a few weeks! -Danny Words: 1,944 Series' Masterlist Previous Chapter /Book II Listen to: 'The Exit' -by Conan Gray

XLIII: It Got Too Fluffy, I Had to Do Something About That

Monsters are vanishing left and right. After Typhon vanishes away, Lady Artemis and Apollo help us strike down a couple more creatures, not to mention Tyson and his buddies are also stomping enemies like they're made of clay.

A blast of golden light comes from the sky, and we all stop to stare. The gods around us, all except Hades, go up to Olympus at once.

"Did we win?" Jake Mason asks behind me.

I realize we've run out of monsters, and everything is deadly quiet except for a few mortals' panicky screams in the distance.

"It's done," Hades announces. "Olympus stands."

I drop Almighty out of pure shock. "My brother..."

The top of the Empire State turns blue all of a sudden, there is only one kid insane enough to ask Zeus to do that.

"She said what?"

"It doesn't matter."

"It matters 'cause she's supposed to be your second in command and she's disrespecting you!" Leo insists heatedly.

"It doesn't matter," Ara repeats calmly. "This was just an argument, we'll make peace once I'm back."

"But..." he almost asks 'What if we don't come back?', but asking that is never an option, so he changes the subject. "I don't want you to leave this place sad, this is your home."

"My home is with my parents and Percy," Ara corrects him stubbornly, then pokes his cheek. "And you. As long as I'm with you, I'll be okay."

Leo softens at her words. "Alright. Let's go rescue your brother from Camp Stuck-up."

"I heard that!" Jason steps onto the deck with his backpack over one shoulder. "Don't go saying that once we get there, Leo. Be nice."

"I'm nice!" Leo puts his arm around Ara's shoulders. "But my girl needs me on her side right now."

Ara looks over the ship's rail, they're on top of the cliff where Bunker Nine is hidden, and she's meditating on whether it's a good idea to look for Lily or not. Their arguments wash away as soon as something bigger happens, so she's not too worried.

The next hour is a blur, while Hades helps us rebuild the city, Mrs O'Leary walks past us with Chiron on her back.

"Ara Jackson," he says my name as if he were talking to a badly behaved pet. "In the future, review your plans with me before you risk your life in such a reckless manner."

Mrs O'Leary shakes off a bit of dirt, making him wince.

"We can talk later, go to camp," I say gently.

Hades walks up to us after Chiron leaves.

"Well, Jackson," he eyes my appearance. "Now is your time to come through with your part of our agreement."

I stare at him, not sure of what to say. He glances at Nico and the boy steps forward, looking anxious. "We should check on the others," he suggests.

"You're a good warrior, Ghost King," I nudge his arm as we walk together. "If I hadn't promised Lily the position, you'd be a good second in command."

He makes a face as if he can't think of anything more horrid than following my orders forever.

When we enter Olympus, people cheer for us. Percy goes out of his way to find me and holds me, after getting my mom's blessing, my forehead can reach his shoulder perfectly.

"Pretending to be Achilles? Are you kidding me?! That was insane!"

"And I haven't pulled my craziest stunt yet," I mumble against his shoulder.

Percy moves away and frowns. "What do you mean?"

"Ready to go?" Piper and Coach Hedge arrive with all of their stuff.

Ara holds tightly onto the railing. Lily didn't come to say goodbye, she left Ara's cloak inside Ara's cabin in the ship, along with her tattered T-Rex. That's how she operates, Ara knows that.

She pulls out the dagger her friend forgot in her room that same afternoon, Ara brought it as a good luck charm.

"Annabeth's ready?" The girl eyes the blade, deep in thought.

"Yes," Leo hums, moving to the control board.

"Let's go, then," Ara sighs, trying not to sound worried.

Lily gets called by Hades right after Annabeth becomes the architect of Olympus, he tells her there are too many corners that he doesn't want to leave unattended in the Underworld, and many souls to recover after this war, so Lily must work with Daedalus to make the Underworld safer and Tartarus harder to reach.

Percy could've become a god if he wanted to, but he turned it down. In exchange, he asks for the Gods to care for their children, to treat every camper with respect, no matter who their parents are. I think that's sweet.

"Arae Jackson."

It isn't Hades the one who calls me forward, it's Ares. I can't help the way I glance back at my friends in confusion. The god snorts. "Why are you surprised? You've been calling to me for a whole year."

I frown. "Lord?"

"We've all been listening, like you asked," Mr D says. "Isn't this what you wanted?"

What surprises me the most is that instead of passing out, I feel braver. Blame it on the Aphrodite in me, but I thrive on the spotlight.

"Yes," I look at Zeus. "With your permission, then... I'd like to plead my case." The god's face is impossible to read, but I carry on anyway. "I offer myself as your next child of Olympus."

Demeter scoffs. "Why would we choose you?"

"Cause I want it," I reply cynically.

"Young lady," Poseidon speaks. "We haven't seen that kind of hero in centuries. What makes you think you're up to the task?"

"Well, what makes you think I'm not?"

"You're an Aphrodite!" Ares laughs. When my mother glares at him, he clears his throat. "I mean, it doesn't seem like it would be the calling for someone of your kind."

"I've fought plenty," I continue. "I've learned a lot and I want to keep our world safe. I also have this..."

I show them Almighty. Hephaestus shifts on his chair uncomfortably and looks away; Zeus frowns, but next to him, Hera gets excited with the revelation.

"Pantodynamos!" She beams.

"How do we know she didn't steal it?"

"I saw her in action," Hades says. "This half-blood tricked a whole army into believing she was Achilles, our last son of Olympus, and they believed it because she did a good job."

"A child of Olympus must be familiar with their armies," Athena nods in agreement. "And she's spent years learning all the crafts, has she not? She can fight, build, and knows how to lead."

"I say we give her a try," Mr D shrugs. "We can strike her out of existence if she's lousy."

"She has my full support," Hades announces. "And my vote."

Zeus glares at his brother, but then Hera speaks. "Mine too."

"Me three," Mr. D hums, he's already lost interest and seems eager to leave the throne room.

"I gave her my blessing," my mother smiles. "She has my vote and my trust."

"Mine too," Hephaestus grumbles. "That was a neat trick you pulled with my son's creations, I'd like to see more of that."

"I vote in favor," Artemis eyes me with interest. "Would've made a fine hunter, but if this is her choice..."

"I never forget a fan," Apollo winks at me. "She's got my approval."

"Well, I helped her kill a Hyperborean..." Ares ponders. "So I guess I vote in favor too."

"She has my vote," says Hermes.

"Fine," Poseidon gives in, briefly glancing at Percy. "She shall have her chance."

Percy steps forward but Annabeth stops him. It catches my eye and I look back at them, my brother doesn't understand what being a child of Olympus ensues, but he's visibly worried. Annabeth's staring at me like she can't believe this is happening, and Thalia's shaking her head, knowing the deed is done.

Lily keeps her arms crossed over her chest, her eyes fixed on the floor, Nico's the only one who doesn't look anxious or angry, perhaps he wants me to succeed, cause that would mean he also can.

"Arae Jackson, kneel before the council," Zeus says at last.

I do what he asks me right away, holding tightly to the hilt of my sword.

"The gods are granting you the greatest honor," he says. "Do not waste it."

"You'll be the General of our armies," Athena continues. "You're allowed to deny or authorize quests as you deem it proper, and you shall join them if you think it's necessary."

"If we call, you must answer. We will grant blessings only when you truly need them," Zeus continues. "Choose wisely, we cannot grant you all twelve."

"Lastly," Hades smiles coldly. "You cannot favor your former godly parent over the rest of us. From now on, you are the daughter of Olympus."

"Do you conform to these rules?" Zeus asks.

"I do."

Every god in the room lowers their weapons and scepters to the ground, golden lines travel through the marble surface and climb up my body healing my bruises, cuts, and scars.

"Stand."

I hold onto Almighty as I get up and notice the purple cape around my shoulders, a gold pin shaped in the form of an omega keeping it in place. I also feel something on my head, and when I reach up, I discover it's a crown of gold laurels.

Zeus looks far from happy. "You may go."

I put my sword on the sheath that's hanging over my hips, and I keep my head up as I walk away without turning my back on them.

I think of the friends I lost, of how lonely they must've felt in their last moments. I think of all the lives it could save to have someone who shows up when we need them. A hero who doesn't think we're inconsequential and who by magical binding, can't turn their back on us.

I remember when the monsters thought I was Achilles.

I'm just like him now.

"You should take a nap," Annabeth suggests. "You have to look your best once we arrive."

Ara raises a brow. "I didn't come here to look pretty."

Annabeth shakes her head. "A child of Olympus is above everyone else, Ara. The Romans won't like that."

Ara feels her stomach twisting in knots, but she smiles despite it. "Won't be nice to discover a Greek is their commander, huh?"

"You'll have to assert your position, and for that, you need to look strong," Annabeth squeezes her shoulder. "Sleep, I'll call if we need you."

The girl makes her way to the cabins. As she goes she spots Leo moving from one side to the other on the control board, but she leaves him alone, they all need to focus on themselves.

Jason helped her practice the wolf glare all Romans have, and he's taught her the way the legions work, but just like Annabeth, he's warned her they'll show resistance to admitting she's their superior.

Ara has faced worse crowds, so she thinks it'll be fine. Becoming a daughter of Olympus didn't keep her loved ones out of danger, but at least no one can keep her out of the fight now, and she's going to become whatever she must to secure their victory over Gaea.

The girl falls asleep as soon as her head hits the pillow, but she doesn't get a demigod dream this time. When she opens her eyes, she's no longer on the ship.

"Ara," Aphrodite looms over her, eyes just as serious as the rest of her expression. "We need to talk about your curse."

I don't understand why my friends are acting this way, but they aren't upset because I wasted their time, they're angry because I've given mine up. Ambition blinds me from the one thing the others can see.

I didn't care at first, I was fifteen years old yet my name would be written in our history books. No one was going to be able to put out my fire for a very long time.

I wish they had.

Capsize

chapter eight

garden gnomes and nightmares | Percy Jackson x fem! Reader.

You’d hoped the good luck would carry on, and that you would escape once more into peace with no nicks or cuts, and full smiles.

You’d be in bed by nine o’clock, wrapped up as if in a cocoon, warm and safe and ready to fall asleep.

You really wished your imagination would go away.

You stated flatly at the building before you. The walls were dry and flaking, the plaster chipping off in large chunks, and strange pottery and statues decorated the perimeter.

“Real classy,” you murmured. You faced Percy and shrugged. “We’re definitely going to be kidnapped.” You turned away to face the crumbling monstrosity.

“And never seen again,” Percy added, helpfully.

You clicked your fingers lightly and pointed at him to your left, nodding as your eyes swept the building still. “He knows what I’m talking about.”

“I always know what you’re talking about, you’re not very complex.”

“Thought you said girls were hard to understand?”

“Well, you’re hardly—”

You whipped your eyes in his direction, firmly glaring. He was grinning, most likely knowing you’d react this way for definite. He loved to wind you up. “Finish that sentence.”

“Alright, Miss Bossy,” he opened his mouth.

When an annoying voice cut him off.

“Guys,” Annabeth quipped, looking from you to Percy and back again. Her braids were flipped over her shoulders, and her cap was back on her head. “We have more important things to worry about.”

“Like your eyebrows,” you muttered.

Percy made a choking sound. Annabeth simply did not look impressed.

“You’re only acting that way because Percy’s here,” she nodded to him.

“Guys!” Percy’s tone was exasperated. But he flashed beetroot red.

“Shut it, Prickly,” you looked away.

Despite the general run-down appearance of the place, the bright, neon lights in oranges and pinks, and the smell of good food, gave you enough reason to just...walk right up to the door. There were two stone-coloured gnomes flanking either side of it.

“Are we going in or what?” you said. “I’m starving.”

“You’re always hungry,” you heard Percy mumble.

You nodded and hummed. “And that would be correct, my good sir.”

Aunty Em’s Garden Gnome Emporium, it seemed, lived up to its name. The sign above the door told a tale you couldn’t quite understand yet, but the stone statues surrounding the place was enough of a hint.

“This doesn’t feel right to me,” came Grover’s trembling voice. You sighed impatiently and dropped your weight from one leg to the other, turning around to face him. His brown eyes met yours, and you felt yourself falter. He truly did look nervous. But then again, when didn’t he?

You spun around, and he spoke again, lifting his voice. “Don’t knock!”

You raised your fist.

“Are you crazy?! I said don’t knock!”

You knocked. “Listen, bro,” you sniped. “They got a snack bar in there. We need food. It looks warm. We’ll be fine.”

“Sure it looks a little sketchy, dude,” Percy reassured. “But even Annabeth’s agreed with me. What’s the harm in getting some food?”

“Because it smells of monsters!”

“You’ve got --”

The door swung open so suddenly that you stumbled a couple steps back. in front of you was a tall, Middle Eastern lady, wearing a long black gown that covered everything but her hands, and her head was completely veiled. Her eyes glinted behind a curtain of black gauze. Her coffee-coloured hands looked old, but well-manicured.

And her voice sounded distantly Middle Eastern too, when she said, “Children, is it not too late to be out all alone. Where are your parents?”

““They’re...uh...” Annabeth tried.

“We’re orphans!” Percy piped.

“Orphans? But surely not, my darlings.”

"We got separated from our caravan," Percy continued. You blanched. Was this boy for real? "Our circus caravan. The ringmaster told us to meet him at the gas station if we got lost, but he may have forgotten, or maybe he meant a different gas station. Anyway, we're lost. Is that food I smell?"

"Oh, my dears," the woman said. "You must come in, poor children. I am Aunty Em. Go straight through to the back of the warehouse, please. There is a dining area."

When she turned her back, and began to walk away, you turned swiftly around to Percy. Maybe you looked thunderous because he smiled too sweetly. “Circus?”

“You weren’t saying anything!”

“I’m not in charge here!”

“You’ve got us this far!”

The warehouse was filled with more statues—people in all different poses, wearing all different outfits, each with a different expression on their face. The food smelt even better inside, and it sent your head dreamy and light. “Guys,” you started. “This was a great idea.”

Over Grover’s nervous whimpers, you heard the sound of metal dropping. When you turned, waiting for the others to pass you, you watched as Aunty Em dropped something into her pocket. She smiled sweetly at you. But you noticed one other thing.

The door was shut.

Instantly, alarm bells were going off. Your stomach was getting tight with uneasiness. And, for some strange reason...

You wanted Travis.

Because the ease you felt around that guy was unmatched. Percy was protecting and sure, but Travis was ease and sense. Right now, he might have known what to do. He would have shown you sense and responsibility.

You’d led everyone in here.

She met your gaze. “Run along, little demigod. Follow your friends.”

It was like being in a haze. Blurry and too soft and warm. You turned around and followed after the others.

But--

Little demigod?...

“Guys,” You said aloud. “Dudes. Pals...”

“Please,” said Aunty Em with a sleepy smile. “Take a seat.”

“Awesome,” Percy quipped, sliding straight into a chair with no hesitation.

“Um...we don’t ahve any money, ma’am,” Grover said reluctantly.

“No, no, children, no money. This is a special case, yes? My treat. For such nice orphans.”

Percy wrapped his hand around your elbow and pulled you down into the seat beside him. “Listen, dudes and dudette; I think we need to leave.” You hissed.

Percy looked you dead in the eyes. “It’s free food, though.”

“Yes,” you whispered harshly. “Free food that could have poison in it!”

“Like that would happen.”

“She knows we’re d--!”

A set of hands fell to your shoulders and made you yelp. “Let’s start with you, hm? What would you like to eat, dear?”

Practically shaking, you searched your brain for some type of food. “Uhhh, maybe nachos?”

“I’ll see what I can do. And what about you three?”

“A cheeseburger, ma’am! And a vanilla milkshake, please!”

“French fries!”

“Cloth?”

Soon enough, the food was cooked and served, and as much as you tried to resist, it really did look good. You found yourself reaching for a double cheeseburger, mouth watering as the loaded cheese and salad atop of it. Maybe a bite or two wouldn’t hurt? Or three...or four...

You cursed yourself when you found yourself finishing the burger, and then some fries, then a milkshake, and after that, some onion rings, and then another burger. Percy stared at you as if you were from another world.

Through a mouth full of food, his eyes wide and pupils dilated, he said, “How do you not get full?”

“Like you said,” you snickered, going to take another bite of your burger. “I’m a bottomless pit.”

“What’s that hissing noise?”

You looked up to Grover on the other side of the table. He was nervously picking at the paper of the bowl the fries sat in. “What?”

“Hissing?” Aunty Em asked. “Perhaps you hear the deep-fryer oil. You have keen ears, Grover.”

You’d almost forgotten she was there in the room. You put down your burger.

"I take vitamins. For my ears."

"That's admirable," she said. "But please, relax."

Aunty Em ate nothing. She hadn't taken off her headdress, even to cook.

“So, you sell gnomes,” said Percy.

"Oh, yes," Aunty Em said. "And animals. And people. Anything for the garden. Custom orders. Statuary is very popular, you know."

"A lot of business on this road?"

"Not so much, no. Since the highway was built... most cars, they do not go this way now. I must cherish every customer I get."

You looked away. That statue to your right...

"Ah," Aunty Em said sadly. "You notice some of my creations do not turn out well. They are marred. They do not sell. The face is the hardest to get right. Always the face."

"You make these statues yourself?" Percy asked.

“Oh, yes. Once upon a time, I had two sisters to help me in the business, but they have passed on, and Aunty Em is alone. I have only my statues. This is why I make them, you see. They are my company." The sadness in her voice sounded so deep and so real.

Annabeth had stopped eating. She sat forward and said, "Two sisters?"

"It's a terrible story," Aunty Em said. "Not one for children, really. You see, Annabeth, a bad woman was jealous of me, long ago, when I was young. I had a... a boyfriend, you know, and this bad woman was determined to break us apart. She caused a terrible accident. My sisters stayed by me. They shared my bad fortune as long as they could, but eventually they passed on. They faded away. I alone have survived, but at a price. Such a price."

Your bones felt as if they were filled with electricity. Everything in you felt buzzing and alive - ready to run.

"Percy?" Annabeth was leaning over, shaking him to get his attention. "Maybe we should go. I mean, the ringmaster will be waiting." She sounded tense. Grover was eating the waxed paper off the tray now, but if Aunty Em found that strange, she didn't say anything.

"Such beautiful gray eyes," Aunty Em told Annabeth again. "My, yes, it has been a long time since I've seen gray eyes like those."

She reached out as if to stroke Annabeth's cheek, but Annabeth stood up abruptly.

"We really should go."

Thank God.

Your chair shrieked along the floor as you stood quickly.

"Yes!" Grover swallowed his waxed paper and stood up. "The ringmaster is waiting! Right!"

"Please, dears," Aunty Em pleaded. "I so rarely get to be with children. Before you go, won't you at least sit for a pose?"

"A pose?" Annabeth asked warily.

"A photograph. I will use it to model a new statue set. Children are so popular, you see. Everyone loves children."

Annabeth shifted her weight from foot to foot. "I don't think we can, ma'am. Come on, Percy -- "

"Sure we can,” Percy slurred. You whipped your head in his direction almost furiously. Could he not feel the air changing?

“Idiot boy!” You whispered. “Let’s go, yeah? I’m pretty tired anyway.”

“It’s just a photo, Annabeth,” He ignored. “What’s the harm?”

“Yes, Annabeth,” Aunty Em smiled. “What’s the harm?”

It didn’t matter how much you pulled on Percy’s sleeve, of whispered anxiously to your other companions that this wasn’t the right idea; you were dragged along with them to the front door, and out into the garden of statues. Goosebumps raised along your body.

“Now, shall we say the girl first, here,” she grabbed you tightly by the shoulders and pushed you down onto the bench, by the wooden arm. “And the boy yes, you with the green eyes. And then the blonde girl, and you, the other boy, yes, perfect,”

Your eyes were darting around for something to use to protect yourselves with. Something to hit Aunty Em with. You found nothing of use in sight,

Aunty Em stepped back, as if to admire the shot. "Now, the face is the most difficult. Can you smile for me please, everyone? A large smile?"

Grover glanced at the cement satyr next to him, and mumbled, "That sure does look like Uncle Ferdinand."

"Grover," Aunty Em chastised, "look this way, dear."

She still had no camera in her hands.

"Percy—" Annabeth said.

You must have looked terrified. Aunty Em said, “A smile for me, dear, no need to look so upset,”

“That’s just my face,” you muttered.

“"I will just be a moment," Aunty Em said. "You know, I can't see you very well in this cursed veil...."

"Percy, something's wrong," Annabeth insisted.

"Wrong?" Aunty Em said, reaching up to undo the wrap around her head. "Not at all, dear. I have such noble company tonight. What could be wrong?"

"That is Uncle Ferdinand!" Grover gasped.

"Look away from her!" Annabeth shouted. She whipped her Yankees cap onto her head and vanished. Her invisible hands pushed Grover and Percy to the ground.

And left you sitting.

“Don’t look at her!” Annabeth screamed.

And your answer to this?

Was to run.

You jumped bolt up and sprinted. Past statues of terrified-looking people and animals, past broken crockery scattered over the floor, even broken statues.

“Whoever’s listening or watching,” you called, slightly out of breath, searching frantically for a place to hide, turning in circles occasionally. “Help us, please!”

You heard Annabeth’s distant yells. You couldn’t find an exist anywhere. There were no walls to climb up, no doors to leave. You’d run in the wrong direction.

But.

Oh.

That.

You slowly grinned.

And snatched the near broken, now-concrete sword. It was heavy in your hands, but upon touching what was once metal, you found it remained sharp. The grip was a little off, broken from something. But it would do.

Your heart raced and spun in circles as you slowly approached where you had run from. Your friends needed you. You’d led them here. Now it was time to help.

Even if every inch of you felt wrong for what you were about to do.

You approached the scene with caution, bones alive. There, on the ground, eyes squeezed shut, lay Percy, and Annabeth calling to keep his eyes shut. It must have been for a reason. Hissing. Hissing?

Oh, jeez.

So you'd be swinging a sword blindly, then.

"Ah, the youngest one has arrived." Aunty Em pruned. "Kind of you to return for your friends. Such a shame it is a waste of your time."

You were terrified and determined. You would all get home.

There was something about approaching danger and death that settled in your body. You didn't want to let it take you.

"Such a shame your views are wrong," you spat. Forcing the words came naturally.

It felt quick. The lifting of the sword, heavy, and the swift swing as you watched Aunty Em's hands lift quickly.

No going back.

The sword hit something heavy. But it didn't stop there. It went straight through.

Bile rose.

And your eyes switched directions as the head of Medusa rolled to your feet.

Percy, staring at you.

Annabeth, pale.

Grover, jaw dropped.

You breathed the breath you didn't realise you'd held. "Well, that got her out of the way."

Annabeth reached for something on the ground. The black veil Aunty Em had been wearing. She approached the area looking at Percy. "Don't look at her yet," she instructed. "At least until I've covered her head."

You simply pursed your lips in disgust, staring at some statues.

As Annabeth stood, holding the now-wrapped thing, it dripped green juice. You gagged.

"Why hasn't it disintegrated?" Percy questioned.

"Once you sever it, it becomes a spoil of war," she explained. "Same as your minotaur horn. But don't unwrap the head. It can still petrify you."

Grover groaned and caught your attention. A small smile came to your face. He was clambering down from a tall, grizzly bear statue. He had a big, bruised welt on his forehead and...there were...flying shoes? floating around his head.

The four of you found your feet and stumbled away back into the warehouse. Percy dragged out some old grocery bags from behind the counter and wrapped up the spoil before dropping it down onto the table, too close for comfort, sitting down again, exhausted, Your hands still shook.

"So," said Percy. "We have Athena to thank for that monster?"

You shrugged, unbothered. "The woman must have done something."

Annabeth flashed you both irritated looks.

"Your dad, Percy, actually. Don't you remember? Medusa was Poseidon's girlfriend. They decided to meet in my mother's temple. That's why Athena turned her into a monster. Medusa and her two sisters who had helped her get into the temple, they became the three gorgons. That's why Medusa wanted to slice me up, but she wanted to preserve you as a nice statue. She's still sweet on your dad. You probably reminded her of him."

"Ewww, monster crush."

Percy was not deterred by your comment. "Oh, so it's my fault that we ran into her?" He flashed you a look.

Your heart plummeted.

"It's just a photo, Annabeth. What's the harm?" Annabeth imitated.

"Forget it, you're impossible! And you --" he turned, and you felt your face flame. "What was with the whole leading us here?"

"HEY!" Grover interrupted, sending yourself and Percy to look at him, dumbfounded. "What are we going to do with the head?"

Percy's chair shrieked as he stood. "I'll be back."

"Percy," Annabeth called after him. "What are you--"

percy came back carrying a box, some money, a slip of paper, and a pencil. You didn't lean over to watch him write, feeling slightly hurt. Percy never once had a go at you for anything, certainly not to your face.

"They're not going to like that," Grover spoke. "They'll think you're impertinent."

You leaned over, desperate to be in on the plan, Forget your feelings.

The Gods Mount Olympus 600th Floor, Empire State Building New York, NY

With best wishes, PERCY JACKSON

You nodded. "They'll hate you."

Percy tipped a few golden coins into a pouch. When he pulled the drawstrings closed, there was a sound similar to that of a cash register. The package began to float, and suddenly disappeared with a popping sound.

"I am impertinent," Percy said.

You watched him look at Annabeth, and them stare at one another.

"Come on," she said, turning around. "We need a new plan."

play stupid games, win stupid prizes chapter 11

“You look fine,” Thalia says for the third time, rolling her eyes as she watches Annabeth stand in front of Piper’s gigantic mirror checking every angle of her outfit.

It’s not the most reassuring tone and Annabeth finds herself frowning at her friend through the mirror.

They’re at Piper’s getting ready for homecoming together and since Thalia was the first one done, she’s been idly scrolling through her phone and giving vaguely encouraging remarks to Annabeth and Piper.

Piper shakes her head as she clasps her necklace. “You look good Annabeth,” she says with a lot more sincerity than Thalia. “Percy is going to freak.”

Logically, she knows that Piper is right. If Percy freaked out over her cheerleading outfit, well… this is better.

Not that she cares about what Percy thinks or anything.

“It’s not about him,” she insists in an effort to convince her own mind. “I just want good pictures for our last homecoming.”

“Right…” Thalia responds, looking down at her phone, clearly skeptical.

But before she has a chance to emphasize her point, Thalia continues. “Also, they’re almost here. Jason just texted me.”

“Oh!” Piper tugs Annabeth away from the mirror and starts fixing her already perfect hair.

“You know you look good,” Annabeth says, watching her friend scrutinize every detail.

“I know,” Piper responds with a smile. “Just want to make sure I don’t have lipstick on my teeth or anything. If Jason isn’t floored then he’s…” she pauses to turn towards Thalia, “no offense, an idiot.”

Annabeth laughs and Thalia smirks. “He already is an idiot,” she agrees.

On cue, the doorbell rings and Thalia goes to answer it. Piper turns towards her as Thalia leaves the room. “I’m serious Annabeth, this color looks great on you.”

Annabeth looks down to take in the sea-green dress. It has a sweetheart neckline and flares out at the bottom ending mid-thigh. It’s not super fancy, with just some small sparkles on the skirt but she’s not that fancy of a person anyway.

“Thanks,” she says looking up to find her friend curiously looking at her. A part of her wants to ask Piper what she’s thinking, but the other part thinks it’s about Percy and maybe she doesn’t want to know.

“Alright, I’ll go down and say you need a couple more minutes so you can have your moment,” she says instead of asking the question.

Piper grins. “You’re the best.”

She shoots her friend a wink and slips out the door, making her way down the stairs to the living room where everyone is gathered in.

Thalia and Leo seem to be in a thumb war, Jason is looking around at the décor and Percy’s on his phone.

She takes a moment to observe him quietly. He’s wearing a suit.

It makes sense of course, but she’s never seen him this dressed up and a part of her believed he’d show up in jeans and a hoodie.

But no, he’s cleaned up really well, suit and tie with an attempt made to style his hair too.

Her heart is already pounding when she steps into the room and speaks, forcing herself to look at Jason instead. “Piper will be down in a couple of minutes.”

At the sound of her voice both Jason and Percy look towards her (Thalia and Leo still focused on their game) and Jason smiles in response. “Thanks.”

She can feel Percy’s gaze on her before she turns to meet his eyes. Trying to hide her smile, she walks right up to him.

“Not bad Jackson,” she says, once again taking in his suit, while his eyes are on her. It’s even better up close, mixed in with his familiar cologne. God, he looks really good.

She doesn’t say that, but she wonders if maybe her eyes are giving it away.

Percy still hasn’t said anything, but she knows he’s been looking too so she leans in. “Percy?”

The only movement is the way his jaw clenches.

KEEP READING ON AO3

initial percy jackson tv thoughts (going in blind):

- alright i know this kid is a pretty good actor from the one movie i’ve seen him in but idk if he’s percy. he just doesn’t feel like it. we’ll see

- oh i love grover’s casting he seems perfect for the role

- why didn’t they show percy blowing up a school bus with a cannon

- why is olivia rodrigo playing. is this modern. are we in modern times? why?????

- glad riptide is an uncappable pen this time and not a click pen

- oh i bet annabeth’s casting was controversial. a little sad that we’re 0 for 2 for blonde annabeths in live action adaptations but she seems pretty cool. excited to see more of her. glad we got “you drool in your sleep” at least

- derek is in this!!! as dionysus too that’s perfect

- i thought the hermes cabin would be more crowded. idk it just feels like the way i imagined the rest of the cabins

- why is luke kinda hot

- why is clarisse kinda hot

- the green screen on the beach scene looks so bad lmao

- “th”alia????? i feel so redeemed(? Not the right word) rn my friends always told me it was pronounced “t”halia with just a t sound. but i was right

- i thought this happened by a river???? this seems to be the lake. 0/10 not accurate to the book at all

- lmao i always thought the claiming symbols were just like some dinky little thing a couple inches above their head. this makes more sense

overall thoughts: pretty good. i honestly had no idea what to expect going into this but i’m liking it so far. percy’s actor i think will grow on me, he still doesn’t seem quite right but i think it’s just because he’s so different from how i pictured percy and not because there’s actually something wrong. loving annabeth’s actor so far! the cgi hasn’t been too bad which was something i was worried about. i think my dad would like this show so maybe i’ll watch it with him tomorrow

also they seem to be skipping chapter titles and combing things. so i assume we’re not getting a whole 22 episodes 😔

Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years?

Annabeth ended up falling asleep in the same bed with Rachel. She woke up before everyone else. She started twisting her engagement ring and thought that in a few hours she was going to get married to Percy. Damn it, she loved him too much. She pressed her phone screen and saw that it was only 5:30 am. But after sleeping next to Percy who woke at 5 to practise and go to the gym, her body wasn’t used to extra sleep time. She smiled at her lock screen; it was the picture she had taken with Percy after he had finished his first swimming competition in college (in which he had won 7 medals and broke three records).

She also had a picture with them at the Olympics where he had his 4 medals around his neck, but she loved her current lock screen even more. There was something so innocent about the two of them in college that meant too much to her. Just a year after they had defeated Gaea and they were terrified to leave each other. 4 years later, Percy was going back to the Olympics, and she had a well paying job as an architect while she was working on her Doctorate in Columbia. And most importantly they were getting married.

The sound of a text message made her lose her train of thought. She expected a good morning text from Percy, but she was surprised by one coming from Sally.

Sally: I’m sorry about not being able to talk to you last night. I was hoping that you had a few minutes before the ceremony so that the two of us could talk. Also, sorry for texting you this early, but I wanted to make sure you got the message early on.

Annabeth immediately responded to her

Annabeth: Whenever you have the time. If you don’t have anything to do, we can have early walk down the beach.

Sally: I hope I didn’t wake you up.

Sally: I’ll be by your room in 15 minutes.

Annabeth: Alright, I’ll be waiting for you.

Annabeth got out of bed and went quietly to the bathroom. After washing her face and putting her hair in a messy bun, she put some sweats and a t-shirt she was positive was Percy’s before making her way outside. Right on time, Sally showed up with two cups of coffee.

“Again, I’m sorry for texting you so early.” Sally excused herself as they got outside.

“Don’t worry. I was already awake.” Annabeth smiled. “You can text me whenever you want. That’s what families do, isn’t it?”

Annabeth considered Sally Jackson her mother more than Athena despite what Biology had to say. That woman had taken her in her house and taught her what a family was supposed to be like.

“It is, my darling girl.” Sally smiled. “How are you feeling?”

“A bit nervous, but I’m sure everything is going to be fine.”

“Your wedding is going to be exactly as you wished it to be. You and Percy are incredibly lucky.” Sally said.

“Sally-“ Annabeth wanted to deny, but she wouldn’t let her.

“You’re lucky because you managed to survive all the things that were imposed to you and through all this chaos found each other. So, yes. To my eyes you are incredibly lucky. And I’m even luckier to gain a daughter like you.” Sally said and held Annabeth’s hands. Annabeth felt her eyes watering. Her words meant a lot to her, even though she could never fully grasp her feelings about her.

“Sally, thank you for everything.”

“You don’t have to thank me for anything, honey.”

Annabeth was definitely going to cry. “Thank you for taking me in your house and thank you for raising Percy to be the man he is today.”

“Oh, Annabeth!” Sally pulled her in a tight hug, Annabeth didn’t even know she needed. “I love you so much, sweetheart. My son is the lucky one for founding someone so amazing as you.” As she stopped hugging her, she brushed her tears away. “We aren’t going to cry today. Today is a happy day, and we’re going to keep it that way.”

“These are happy tears.” Annabeth laughed as she wiped them away.

“That wasn’t all I wanted to talk to you about. I have a present for you.” Sally said as she presented Annabeth a velvet pouch. “It used to be my mother’s and it’s one of the last things of her that I have. Estelle was named after her.”

Annabeth was so touched by the act, “Sally no, Estelle should have it.”

“I have kept other things for Estelle to have. This one is for you.” Sally reassured her.

She opened the pouch, and she took in her hands a gold chained bracelet with sapphires and emeralds. She felt her eyes watering again. Sally unclasped it and helped her put it on. “They are real, you know. It was my father’s gift to my mother on their wedding. My uncle was positive that it belonged to my father’s mother. And now it’s all yours.” She smiled softly

“It’s beautiful. Sally, I can’t thank you enough. I promise I’m going to look after it.” Annabeth promised.

“We should head back now. Rachel will be looking for you.” Sally said. After they hugged goodbye, Annabeth entered the wedding suite which was filled with her friends as the caterers had brought breakfast.

“Found her!” Piper shouted as she noticed Annabeth entering. “We thought you and Percy ran away to elope.” Then her eyes fell on the bracelet, “The bracelet is beautiful. Where did you find it?”

“Sally gave it to me. It used to be her mother’s.” Annabeth mentioned.

“That’s so sweet and thoughtful. You really have the best mother-in-law.”

“I won the jackpot.” Annabeth smiled.

After they had a quick breakfast, the makeup artist and hair stylist arrived, and everyone started getting ready. “Nico just texted me.” Rachel said as she sat in the chair next to Annabeth’s. “Will is here with one of their wedding gifts. Whatever that’s supposed to mean.” She said. “You should be honoured Will dropped his studying to grace you with his presence.” Rachel joked. It was no secret that after Will started college at 16, he wasn’t going to let anything get in his way. And Annabeth highly appreciated that as she was the same way. It did mean a lot to her that he was willing to sacrifice two days to come to their wedding.

“What does he mean wedding gifts?”

“You’re going to find out.” Rachel said not able to contain her excitement.

“You know what it is, don’t you?”

“Yes, I do. And you’re going to lose your shit.” She reassured her.

They were officially an hour away from their wedding. Annabeth couldn’t wait. She had put on her wedding dress. It was a white lace mermaid gown. It was open at the back, and it was filled tiny diamonds. She had kept her make-up minimal and let the hairstylist do whatever she wanted with her hair as she didn’t have any preferences. She ended up doing a half up and down style and curling more her hair.

After she was done getting ready, Grover came inside the room. "You look amazing. I can’t believe you and Percy are getting married" he smiled.

“Me neither.” Annabeth exclaimed. “Thank you for coming today. It means a lot to me and a whole lot more to Percy.”

“I wouldn’t miss it for the world.” Grover hugged her.

“How is the groom doing?” Rachel asked.

“He is waiting for his bride.”

“Let’s keep him waiting for a few more minutes.” Evelyn said.

“Wow, Annabeth. You’re beautiful.” Frederick said as he saw his daughter all dressed up in her wedding dress.

Annabeth had decided to let Frederick walk her down the aisle as they wanted Chiron to officiate their wedding. She also believed that they were in the phase where he could be there for her as long as she would let him. Her psychologist had encouraged her to open up more to him as he didn’t have any malicious intentions and he was working on their relationship.

“How about we let Annabeth have a moment with her dad, until we all get downstairs?” Piper suggested and Annabeth gave her a grateful look. Soon enough the room was empty.

“I’m proud of you, Annabeth.” Frederick said tenderly. “And I’m thankful that you gave me the chance to be next to you at your wedding. It means the world to me.”

“I’m glad we could work on our differences.” Annabeth replied. “You proved that actions speak louder than words. You made it possible for you to be here today.” She noted.

Frederick held her close, and Annabeth couldn’t deny that it felt good. Her five-year-old self would be sobbing with relief. Her 13-year-old self would be proud for daring to trust this man again. And her 17-year-old self would have a huge relieved from her shoulders as she had healed their relationship. “I’m sorry for everything, sweetheart. I wish I could turn back time and make it right to you.”

“Then, I wouldn’t be who I am today.” She exclaimed. “I wouldn’t change anything, dad. We both needed space and time.”

“I want you to know that by the end of the summer, Helen and I will be divorced. And I’ll move back at the east coast. Probably back to Boston.”

“Dad-“

“I should have done it a long time ago. And now that the boys are old enough I’ll do it.”

“Are you doing it for yourself?” She asked.

“Yes, I need this, Annabeth.”

“Then, I’m 100% on your side.” She smiled.

“Thank you. Now, less talking about me and more about you. We should head downstairs. Percy is waiting for you.”

Percy was waiting for the coordinator or Rachel or anyone really to give him the thumbs up to go at the end of the aisle. He was trying to fix his bow tied which seemed crooked to him. He had kicked everyone outside as he was trying to fully comprehend that in 10 minutes he was going to get married to Annabeth. He was ready to give up on the bow tie when he noticed that Sally was staring at him. “Need any help?” She asked.

“Maybe.” Percy replied smiling. Sally came closer and helped him tie it. He was trying to contain his emotions, but looking at his mum helping him with watery eyes wasn’t doing him any favours.

“Here. You’re all set.” Sally said as she straightened his tux. “I’m so proud of you, Percy. How far you’ve come.” Percy noticed a tear rolling on her cheek.

“Mum, don’t cry, please.”

“I’m sorry.” She sighed trying to compose herself. “It’s just ever since I found out I was pregnant the only thought in my mind was how to make everything right for my sweet baby boy who didn’t do a single thing wrong in his life. And watching you all grown up, ready to get married makes me feel relieved. I wasn’t able to give you the life you deserved and still, you’re standing here and I’m so immensely proud of you.”

“You did an excellent job raising me. You couldn’t have done it any better. You’re a saint, mum. You’re the real hero around here. You’re my hero. And I knew it then and I know it now, that I have the best mum in the world.” Percy said and hugged her. “I can never thank you enough for everything.”

“I’m your mum. You aren’t supposed to thank me.”

“Believe me, I have to.” He reassured her.

Grover cleared his throat. “They’re ready for us.” He smiled.

“Let’s get this wedding started then.” Percy replied and sorted the room with Sally next to him.

"I'm pumped!" Connor said as Percy walked to the garden with his mum. It was filled with their friends and families. He felt extremely grateful about everything that was happening to him.

The bridal party started walking down the aisle. Estelle -being the flower girl- followed them, and then, oh and then he saw Annabeth. Looking so beautiful, so ethereal like a goddess. If love was a person it would be her. “Do you need a tissue?” Travis whispered him, “You’re full sobbing here.”

Frank patted him on the shoulder “Don’t listen to them, you’re doing great. Eyes on her.” Like he could ever stop staring at her.

By the time she reached the end of the aisle, Percy was really sure he had a stupid grin on his face. “Hey, stranger.” Annabeth said as she stood across from him.

Chiron was staring proudly at the two of them. Kudos to Piper for helping him get the officiating licence. "I have the honour to officiate the wedding of two of my favourite students. When they met 12 years ago, bets started around in camp when they would get together. I was the one who guessed the time they would get together." Some of the guests laughed. "Percy and Annabeth are a couple like no other. You complete each other and love and care about each other in a way I haven’t seen in a long time. Plato said that people once had 4 arms, 4 legs, two faces and two minds. Then, the Gods decided to divide humans as they were too powerful together. The half is searching for its pair in order to feel complete. That’s what soulmates meant in Ancient Greece. That’s for me a perfect way to summarize your relationship. Soulmates, two halves that found each other and feel whole again. As I do not want to bore you, I think it is the time for the bride and the groom to turn to speak." Chiron said. He looked like he was ready to cry.

Annabeth gave her bouquet to Piper and turned to Percy. "Since the day I first met you, when I told you, that you drooled in your sleep, I fell in love with you. I didn’t really know what love was back then, but now I know that that was it. You are the best part of my life. You are not only my soulmate but my best friend and my partner in crime in everything. You are amazing and I prefer to die than live in a world without you. I love you Seaweed brain and from the very first moment together I knew that you would be forever mine. The 8 months you were away from me, I felt so empty and that is when I realized that I could never ever in a million years find someone to settle down with, except for you. You give my life a whole different meaning and I want to grow old more than anything else in this life. I need a lifetime of adventures with you."

Percy was again crying, but he did a great job from keeping his tears from coming out. Annabeth had her way with words. But he had to say his vows, so he took a deep breath and tried to concentrate.

"Annabeth from when you found me half dead in the borders of the camp, I thought you were something more than pretty. You are fun and smart and what I am trying to say is that I love you more than life itself. You’re my oxygen and I can’t breathe without you. I hope you will be mine until the end of our lives. I am so happy that a woman like you accepted to spend the rest of her life with someone like me. There is not a lot for me to say about you, because I do not even know where to begin and where to end. The point is that I love you and I will never stop loving you. I don’t believe I could ever be happier, than today, standing here promising to always love and cherish every moment with you. I always knew I was going to marry you. You were so perfect and even when you hated me, I was so stupidly and irrevocably in love with you. Every time I tell myself that there is no way I’ll love you even more, I find out I can. And I will never be able to stop loving you more and more. I love you Annabeth and I’m always going to."

"By the power given to me by the State of New York, I pronounce you Husband and Wife; you may kiss the bride." Chiron said, and Percy kissed Annabeth. With the same passion, they had when they shared their first kiss. With the same passion Percy was planning on kissing her for the rest of their lives.
