In which Annabeth’s in love with her best friend, and Percy’s a pretty good date,, percabeth
Annabeth has never been one to become distracted by people around her, but Percy Jackson seems to be an exception.
There’s something sinful about the way he looks at her when they’re working at separate tables in the chem lab. He’s meant to be paying attention to the reaction before him, but instead, his eyes are on her. He’s not particularly hiding it, and she thinks that’s what makes it so much more intriguing.
Percy Jackson holds no shame for her, and it makes her want him that much more.
Annabeth isn’t one to talk; her eyes are glued to him too, far more than is acceptable when she’s also so focused on her grades. But she’s not complaining. She likes his gaze, the sea-green irises that hold pure, unadulterated want, promise, passion—
Annabeth hardly hears Piper’s scolding when she nearly drops hydrochloric acid. Instead, her ears zero in on the low laugh she swears Percy gives out as she shakes his head at her, adoring, and gets back to the task at hand. She already knows to expect his appearance later that day, once they’re both done with class and ready to continue on with their game of advances, to see who will fold first.
It’s exactly what happens, and she has to smother a smile when she catches him waiting for her after the lab, leaning against the outside wall with his leather jacket thrown over an arm, prepared for her to shuck it on like she always does on Tuesdays while they walk to find somewhere to eat lunch.
Percy holds open the jacket while Annabeth steps into the sleeves, and then he moves to pull her hair from below the collar.
“You sure look comfortable,” Percy comments lightly, his stride matching hers as they walk. His fingers pinch her elbow gently. “Enjoy stealing my jacket, don’t you?”
“It’s not stealing if you give it to me,” she reminds. “And I seem to recall you offering it to me when I forgot my own.”
Percy snorts. “Two months ago.”
“Two days, two months. What is time, anyway?”
Percy sighs, but she can hear the amusement in his voice. He’d let it slip one night that he likes seeing her in his jacket, and she’s made it a point to do it every chance she can, if only to see that subtle grin on his face that he always tries to hide.
“You’re a thief, you know?”
Annabeth smiles sweetly as she links her arm through his, pressing her cheek to his shoulder. “Is it theft if you willingly gave it to me?”
“You’ve stolen more than my jacket.”
“Wasn’t stealing.”
“My heart, for example.”
Annabeth coos and drags them to a slow stop. He ends up cornering her against the brick of an English building, and she lets herself be pressed to the wall, delighting in the way he towers over her and looks at her like she’s the only person in the world.
When Percy just looks at her accusingly, she snickers and says, “You willingly gave me that, too.”
“It wasn’t so much willing as it was unpreventable. I didn’t really get a say in the matter. And besides, it’s not officially yours.”
Annabeth’s hands rub at his arms when they press to either side of her, trapping her in the moment. She doesn’t object; she wants him in the same way he wants her.
“Why don’t you make it official, then?” she teases.
“I’ve tried,” he says, moving his face away when Annabeth tugs lightly at the ring on his lower lip. “But you like to mess with me, and then give me oogly eyes across the room.”
“Oh, but it’s so much fun. Tell me I’m wrong.”
“You know what’s more fun?”
“Hm?”
“Going on a date with me.”
“I don’t hear a question there.”
Percy rolls his eyes fondly, but he’s smiling. “Will you go on a date with me?”
Annabeth already knows her answer, but she can’t help but make this moment last longer. She wants to stay here forever.
“A date with me? Aren’t there a million other girls that want you?”
“People just don’t like me,” he says, grinning. “Not in the way that you do.”
It goes unsaid what he really means. She knows plenty of people like him, but that’s the difference. Where others like him, Annabeth loves him. She loves the gold ring on his lip, the sparkle in his eyes, the gentle caresses he gives her when it’s late and she falls asleep in his arms while they’re watching a movie. She loves what other people like, and that’s exactly why they are where they are, together.
“Where would we go on a date?” she asks, looking him in the eyes. He matches her gaze, and she could look at him all day.
“Anywhere you want.”
“I want you to choose,” she says, a finger poking lightly into his chest. She feels a shiver run down her back when he bends down to kiss her hand.
“In that case…” Percy leans in closer to whisper in his ear, and there’s no way he doesn’t know the effect he has on her. “I want to take you to a museum.”
“You hate museums,” she muses.
“But you like museums, and I like you.”
Annabeth thinks that’s a date-worthy response.
“But I would take you out to dinner first. There’s this place I want you to try—it reminds me of you—and then since the museum closes at ten, we could go to the beach. That’s where we met.”
She kind of wants to cry at his words. Percy’s always been like this, considerate, and she wishes more people knew this side of him, but at the same time, she wants to keep it all to herself.
“But really, I don’t care what we do,” Percy says. “As long as I have you, I’m happy.”
And Annabeth melts.
“Oh my god, I love you,” she breathes.
Percy smiles, his laugh bright as the sun. “Yeah?”
Annabeth can’t wait. “Kiss me.”
And he does just that.
It’s short and sweet, but it’s so reminiscent of the two of them, how they’ve always been the other’s soft spot, and it’s exactly as should be.
Annabeth never did imagine herself getting distracted in class, but she never imagined herself ending up with someone like this, either. She supposes not everything has to be expected; she’s glad that the unexpected exists, because without it, she would never be here.
“So is that a yes?” Percy asks, pressing his lips lightly to the corner of her mouth.
Annabeth rolls her eyes and kisses him once more. “It’s a yes.”
Remember that whole “what if someone sees me” thing from when Annabeth and Percy went on that love ride when they were 12? Percy does and sets out for revenge when he and Annabeth start dating.
Annabeth: I want to go to the restaurant-
Percy: but what if someone sees me with you?
Annabeth: what?
Percy: that would be so embarrassing
Annabeth: you just told the barista we were dating unprompted
Percy: so embarrassing. Like how you didn’t want to be seen with me on that love ride when we were 12-
Annabeth: oh my gods
I love petty Percy. Let him remember all his girlfriend’s slights against him.
Annabeth: why are you being weird? Just hold my hand, you dweeb-
Percy: but IF SOMEONE SEES ME-
Annabeth: I’ll tell them that you got lost and we’re looking for your real girlfriend
I just enjoy him teasing Annabeth tbh
Percy: you have to sit over there
Annabeth: why
Percy: Piper might see us sitting next to each other-
Annabeth: not this again
Percy: -and that would just be so embarrassing
Piper: wat
Annabeth: stop it. we were 12
Percy: my reputation is on the line
Annabeth: you know I was right, though? do you remember that part?
Piper: what’s happening
Annabeth: they literally filmed us on that ride and broadcasted it on Olympus. You can’t be bitter when my concerns were literally-
Percy: you dare underestimate my bitterness?
Piper: you two are the weirdest couple I know
Don’t let him ever forget this sin committed against him lol
Annabeth: are you ready?
Percy: I’m so nervous. What if someone sees us and thinks we’re together?
Annabeth: that would be a shame
Annabeth: for that to happen
Annabeth: on our wedding day
Percy: maybe we shouldn’t have invited so many people
tumblr is like finding cool rocks and showing them to your mutuals like "look! this one is so shiny!" and your mutuals are like "so true!!" and then they take the rock and show it to their mutuals and the cycle goes on

but really though, this pride month, shout out to straight trans people. it’s gotta be rough sometimes listening to people constantly complaining about “the straights” and how “it’s gay month if you’re not gay go home”. you’re not contributing to heteronormitivity just by being yourself. you 100 percent belong at pride and all of you make this community a better place.
“humanity is inherently selfish and bad” bbbrrrghuhjfkg. humanity is seeing a stranger’s grocery bag break open on the sidewalk and harvesting fruits and veggies from the branch-like cracks of the asphalt for them, just because you can. humanity is helping a lost child find their mother on a crowded beach, looking for the ladybug-patterned parasol with their hummingbird-small hand in yours. it’s an elder’s fingers wrapped around your arm as you help them up the stairs because the elevator is broken, and feeling like you’re doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing, like this is what you would’ve been doing had you been alive centuries or even millennia ago. there will always be a heavily pregnant woman who will smile at your when you give up your seat, a nice blind man in the fruit aisle who will ask you to please pick the riper plantain for him, a tired cashier whose face will light up when you compliment their tattoo sleeve. humanity is connection
TRANS WOMEN: HERE'S SOME SHIT YOUR DOCTOR WONT TELL YOU ABOUT HRT
1. Progesterone: not for everyone, but for many people it may increase sex drive and WILL make your boobs bigger. Also effects mood in ways that many find positive (but some find negative). Most doctors won’t prescribe this to you unless you ask. Most trans girls I know swear by it.
2. Injectible estrogen: is more effective than pill or patch form. Get on it if you can bear needles bc you will see more effects more quickly.
3. Estradiol Cypionate: There is currently a shortage of injectible estradiol valerate. There is no shortage of estradiol cypionate. Functionally they do the same shit.
4. Bicalutamide: This is an anti-androgen that has almost none of the side-effects of spironolactone or finasteride. The girls I know who are on it are evangelical about it.
Are there HRT medications that don’t increase blood clot risk? I’m already at risk because of my blood pressure, and my doctor won’t prescribe HRT that increases clot risk while I’m on the medication - and I may never not be on the medication.
The concerns surrounding venous thromboembolic events as a side-effect of hormone replacement therapy can mostly be traced back to one particular study known as the Women’s Health Initiative. This study was an enormous undertaking which, unfortunately, demonstrated significant adverse effects of the hormone therapies studied. As a result of this the use of hormone replacement therapy in postmenopausal cis women was dramatically reduced as the medical community began to question whether or not the therapy caused more harm than good.
Naturally, trans women have been suffering from this fall-out ever since.
What physicians seem to fail to recognize is that the study examined a very specific hormone regimen which was, arguably, outmoded at the time the study was conducted: It examined the use of conjugated equine estrogen (Premarin) with or without the use of medroxyprogesterone acetate. Neither of these drugs is regularly used for the treatment of transgender women.
The estrogen most commonly used to treat transgender women nowadays is 17β-estradiol either in pill form or in the form of a sticky patch that you apply to your skin. Esters of estrogen (e.g. estradiol valerate) are also sometimes used either in a pill form or as an intramuscular injection.
Transdermal estradiol patches are the gold standard when it comes to treating women who are at high risk of a venous thromboembolic event. It simply does not increase the risk of developing a venous thromboembolism. The only thing you should keep in mind is that patches are not always well tolerated because of the lifestyle changes required to keep them from falling off and the fact that they tend to irritate the skin.
Fortunately, oral 17β-estradiol appears to be safe, regardless of the increased risk. At least one large study has shown that the use of oral estradiol in trans women is not associated with venous thromboembolic events. An individual woman’s risk would need to be substantial in order to contraindicate the use of oral estradiol.
For those who have significant risk of venous thromboembolism because they have had a previous thromboembolic event, because they are paralyzed, or because of some other factor it is good to know the relative risk between oral and transdermal estrogen. The latest research indicates that the use of transdermal estrogen lowers your risk of a thromboembolism to 80% of what your risk would be using oral estrogens.
It’s difficult to find hard numbers regarding the relative risk of venous thromboembolic events with regards to hypertension. The best I could find after an hour or so of searching was this study regarding VTE in lung cancer patients. Hypertension increased the risk by a factor of 1.8.
However, to put that into perspective being of African descent increases your relative risk for deep vein thrombosis by a factor of 1.3 when compared to Europeans. Europeans are, themselves, at increased risk when compared to Asians and Pacific Islanders by a considerable margin: a four-fold increase.
I should point out that being ‘male’ is also a risk factor for developing a thromboembolism and hormones are likely to be a contributing factor. Also, menopause is another serious risk factor. Given this information it is likely that the use of transdermal estradiol will lower your risk of thromboembolic events significantly.
As far as the anti-androgen is concerned: The primary use for spironolactone for cisgender people is as an antihypertensive.
Even if the risk of thromboembolism was truly significant with modern hormone replacement therapy it wouldn’t justify what your doctor is doing to you. The fact is that mortality in the transgender community from suicide–caused in part due to the lack of access to hormone therapy–is substantial. The quality of life lost when a trans woman is denied hormone therapy is substantial. The fact that your doctor does not appear to be taking this into consideration when they weigh the risk of thromboembolism against not receiving necessary medical care is deeply concerning.
I strongly recommend that you seek a doctor who is more sensitive to your medical needs as a transgender woman.
