How long has Percy been in love with Annabeth?? Was there a moment when he realized it?

carrie has much more articulated thoughts about it than I do <3 but i agree, i think he really came to the realization around pasta night when she pushed him away. because up until then it was casual and "pretending" in some ways as Annabeth said, but when she brought her marriage into it she made it real.

And that scared the crap out of him!!! Because he doesn't do "real" he does fwb with reyna and hookups with random girls and he DEFINITELY does not fall in love with the american contractor who's going to leave the country by the end of the year

Omg I remember seeing you and @captain-jackson hint at the mafia a few weeks ago before FRTT was announced so halfway through this chapter I was like wait is this a mafia fic??

Listen..,, Piper and I are both connoisseurs of silly mafia romance novels. When we talked about this fic being set in Italy I suggested (mostly as a joke) that percy's family is in the mafia. And when we were discussing what would happen to gabe:

And then it kind of spiraled into an extensive mafia bit:

and now carrie and i spent an hour this morning discussing mafia au details that will never see the light of day <3

Me yesterday: they didn’t set the house on fire! phew!

Me today: they crushed a bitch and knocked her out again!

We simply could not resist, we love knocking Beth out in every conceivable way <3 checkov’s gun crumbling death-trap balcony 😌

I have been listening to the FRTT playlist and loving it! Especially all of the Italian songs! Was there a specific Italian pop song that Percy played and Annabeth eventually started liking?

Aaah thank you!!!! We like to think that Percy is a huge Blanco stan and that’s the “terrible pop music” sally is referring to in chapter 19 (for the record we love blanco and would never call his music terrible he was in my top 5 Spotify wrapped artists 🫶).

Nessuno is kind of the quintessential frtt Italian song, though it is not one Percy has to convince Annabeth to like <3

I am currently reading Beach Read and I just got to chapter 13: the dream. Is chapter 12 of FRTT a reference to this chapter??

Yes it is 😌!!
