A percabeth olympic figure skater's AU (an excerpt)
Figure skating is one of the oldest sports performed on ice. And it's also one of the most graceful, eye-catching ways a person can move their body. As if possessed by an invisible, sensual force, ice skaters glide their way across the rink, their feet moving like the very air itself was their guide. Artistry was what made a skate into a performance. It's what turns arm movements like the delicate wings of a swan, lying in wait to take flight. At least, that was what figure skating was when Annabeth first trained for it. When she signed up for life on the ice at the tender age of 7, it was always in her dream to make it more than just a jumping competition. To pour emotion, expression, and her very identity into all her routines. And she was praised for it. Beloved, they called her the ice siren. Her moves mimic that of water: graceful, flowing, and iridescent. But, the real athletes, according to those self-important commentators who when placed on the ice would probably stumble like half drunk idiots, the real skaters are only determined through the skill of their triples, their quads. So, when Percy Jackson, threat to humanity, America's resident seaweed brain, and Annabeth's personal bane of existence, managed to land a quad axel without falling flat on his ass on practice one random day—he became American figure skating's greatest asset. So, you understand, this man infuriates her.

Summary: Olympic figure skater Annabeth Chase does NOT get along with fellow figure skater Percy Jackson.
So, when she had to endure endless months of training together and playing nice in press conferences, now that she's finally in the Olympics with only two more weeks left in his presence, it feels almost like a gold medal in itself.
That was, of course, before the entire internet decided that something much more passionate than hate was between the two. Not only did they expect her to go down in history as one of the greatest figure skaters of all time, she was also now at the very center of one of the greatest love stories ever told. Well, at least according to the chronically online.
