ok but can we please imagine the possibilities if it was annabeth who ended up in calypso’s island.
annabeth didn’t get out of the volcano fast enough. percy’s explosion gave her a few injuries, and she landed in the waters, led to calypso
her and calypso !! falling in love !! in the cutest way !! ever !!
they bond first through silence. annabeth has never gotten silence before. with thalia and luke, they’d always been too busy with each other. with percy, it was like standing in the middle of the storm.
but calypso? with her gentle touches and soft healing hymns, annabeth found herself at peace, shoulders relaxing for the first time in forever, and grey eyes settling into a calm.
calypso loved annabeth’s eyes. they had that intelligent glint to them, something she’s never really seen in a hero before... it was beautiful. soft, but dangerous. breathtaking
they kissed 2 nights before hepheastus appeared to tell annabeth what had happened, and the choice of whether or not she’ll come back
annabeth would - for once - experience what it would be like to be the one leaving. but she doesn’t leave without a promise: she’d find ogygia again. she didn’t care what it took, she was athena’s daughter and she will do the impossible.
‘i promise, i will be back’
‘what if i’m starting to believe you? what if you don’t come back? what then?’
‘i keep my promises. this is no different’
annabeth always found holding moonlace when she wants to break down and cry, or when she’s about to go to battle. at some point, she gets it carved into her bronze dagger
and true to her word, annabeth gets calypso back a year after the giant war.
