Saturday, six on the dot. Annabeth sat in her car in the parking lot outside Sallyâs and drummed her fingers on the steering wheel. She had to reign in the itch to glance at her phone, which laid face up in the passengerâs seat, in case Percy texted her. When she got to the restaurant, sheâd shot him a text letting him know that she was there, and heâd replied that heâd be out in a few minutes. It had only been a minute or two since then, but the wait felt intolerable to her.
The last time sheâd been on a date was a total trainwreck. Sheâd been a sophomore going out with a college freshman named Luke, which should have been enough to clue her in to the fact that she was dealing with a creep, but in her hubris, sheâd thought he saw something special in her, recognized her maturity even. In the end, it was because heâd assumed Annabeth was impressionable and easy, mistakenly so considering she had ditched him at the restaurant under the pretense of needing to use the restroom.
She didnât have fears that her date with Percy would be like that, but in the three minutes she sat there, she became woefully aware of her own lack of dating experience. It had never mattered to her before, but she didnât want to come across as lame and uncool in front of someone as effortlessly debonair as Percy.
Oof. Debonair. An SAT word. Definitely lame and uncool.
Annabeth peeked down at the outfit Piper had helped her choose: a billowy, black shirt-like blouse and a pair of high-waisted white pants. Even she had to admit the outfit looked good, but now that she had time to languish in her own mental prison, she wasnât sure it would be to Percyâs taste. Annabeth buried her face in her hands. God, she shouldâve gone with something more fun and casual.
A knock on her window made Annabeth jolt in her seat. It was Percy, motioning for her to roll down her window, so she did. As he rested a forearm against the doorframe and leaned in, the scent of his cologne caught her off guard and made her face prickle.
She shook her head to physically dispel her thoughts and said, âH-Hey.â
âHey yourself,â Percy said, smiling. âI was thinking I could drive tonight, but Iâll leave it up to you.â
âUh, yeah, no, thatâs fine by me,â Annabeth said.
âCool!â Percy said, straightening. âYou can just leave your car here in the lot then.â
Annabeth nodded and turned off the ignition before grabbing the keys and her purse. Percy rocked on his heels, hands in his pockets, and grinned at her when she got out of the car. As they started walking, Annabeth took a second to get a proper look at him since sheâd been too frazzled to before. He was wearing a black bomber jacket over a plain white t-shirt and a pair of black chinos. It was almost unfair how good he looked with such a simple outfit, like James Dean or something.
He must have noticed her staring because he coughed surreptitiously. âAm I too underdressed or something? I can head inside and change real quick?â
âOh, no, you look good,â Annabeth said quickly. âGreat actually.â
âYeah?â Percy asked, ducking his chin. âWell, I think youâve got me beat in the outfit department. You look, um- spectacular.â
It was a little pathetic how giddy that made her feel. âT-Thanks.â
Percy shot her a boyish smile that she couldnât help returning. When they came to a stop in front of a blue Prius, Annabeth couldnât help giving him a little shit.
âWho wouldâve thought,â Annabeth drawled. âPercy Jackson drives a Prius.â
âIt gets good mileage, okay?â Percy protested, his face turning pink. âAnd itâs environmentally friendly!â
Annabeth bit back a smile and shrugged. âJust seems like an odd fit for a brooding, bad boy-type.â
Percy rolled his eyes and opened the passengerâs side door for her, which was such an antiquated, chivalrous thing to do that it made her swoon just a little bit. He waited until she was settled before sliding into the driverâs seat and starting the car. As they pulled out of the lot, Percy reached to turn on some music out of habit, but a Nirvana riff blared through the speakers so loudly it felt like getting hit in the face with a shovel. He immediately shut it off, but Annabeth laughed at the way his cheeks flushed.
He ruffled his hair and muttered, âSorry. Forgot I had it turned up that loud.â
âWas that Territorial Pissings?â
Percy turned to her, eyebrows raised. âYou know that song?â
Annabeth nodded. âYeah, one of my stepbrothers, Bobby, is obsessed with Nirvana. He got a guitar for his birthday, and heâs trying to learn their songs.â
He gave an innocuous look and asked, âAnd how has that been?â
âAwful,â Annabeth admitted. âLike, hearing a total newbie butcher Nirvana riffs on a shitty practice amp is miserable, especially when their bedroom is right to yours.â
âYeah, Iâll bet,â Percy said, laughing. âWhat kind of music do you listen to?â
âI like a lot of stuff.â
âCâmon, thatâs a cop out answer,â Percy said. âGive me a guilty pleasure song.â
âI donât believe in guilty pleasure songs,â Annabeth said, shrugging.
He gave her a sidelong glance. âHmm, I can see that, considering youâre the heathen that puts pineapple on pizza. Shame probably isnât in your vocabulary.â
Annabeth snorted with laughter, which made him smile. There was something so easy about talking to him. They must have driven for at least a half hour, but it felt like five minutes passed because the conversation flowed so well between them. Annabeth had seen in movies or heard from Piper that chemistry was important when it came to romance, but sheâd never known what that meant. The idea of magically clicking with someone, feeling effortlessly seen and understood, sounded like a fantasy. At the very least, it wasnât something she ever thought would happen to her. And yet, here she was, talking to this gorgeous boy that she hadnât even known four months ago, and she suddenly understood what Piper had meant.
Eventually, Percy pulled into a parking lot and opened the door for her again. Annabeth tried to ignore the heat of his hand on the small of her back as he guided her inside the building. It was an indoor mini-golf course.
Annabeth barked a laugh. âOh, is that right? You sound awfully confident.â
His eyes twinkled. âOnly a little bit.â
They got a pair of clubs and spent the better part of two hours taking a childâs game far too seriously. True to his word, Percy did end up kicking her ass, but Annabeth did a damn good job for a first-timer. By his own admission, she would have won if theyâd played as beginners. Still, it was a ton of fun since Annabeth tended to scare people off by being too intense and competitive, but instead that seemed to attract Percy, not push him away.
After mini-golf, they went back to the restaurant, which Sally closed early for the night on account of their date. Percy took her back into the kitchen and tossed her an apron, which surprised her.
âUh, whatâs this for?â
âWeâre gonna make a pizza for each other that we think the other person would like.â Percy shrugged off his jacket and tied his apron behind his back with practiced ease. âAnd it goes without saying, but no pineapple on mine, please.â
Annabeth toyed with the apronâs strands. âUh, I should let you know, Iâm kind of a walking disaster in the kitchen.â
Percy waved a hand dismissively. âDonât worry about it. Iâll be watching you every step of the way.â
Despite her apprehension, Annabeth nodded and slipped on her apron. Percy grabbed some dough that had already been proofing in the fridge and showed her how to flatten it into an oblong disk with a rolling pin. He tossed them into the air himself since Annabeth stood a snowballâs chance in hell of pulling that off. After that, he showed her how to ladle the sauce and distribute cheese, but he let her have free reign over the remaining toppings. Since it was a secret, they worked at other ends of the kitchen, but Percy ultimately put the pizzas in the wood-fire oven, although he made a show of closing his eyes so he wouldnât see her toppings.
Within a minute or two, Percy fished their pizzas out and cut them. Percyâs pizza for her was sausage and black olive, and her pizza for him was Calabrian chilis and feta.
Percy took a bite of a slice and made a sound of surprise. âWow, this is great. Iâve never tried this combo before.â
âI had it once at a restaurant back when I lived in San Francisco,â Annabeth said. âIt was one of my favorites there. I didnât know you guys had Calabrian chiliâs here, otherwise I would have ordered it.â
Percy nodded and then motioned for her to try hers as well. âItâs delicious.â
âIâm glad you think so,â Percy said, smiling. âEver since I was a kid, if I was having a bad day or we were celebrating something or just because, my Ma would make a sausage and olive pie for me. Itâs my favorite food.â
âItâs a good choice,â Annabeth said softly. âCould be improved with some pineapple though.â
That made him shake with laughter, and something about the sight of him sitting on the countertop, hiding his smile behind a hand like it wasnât worth seeing, stirred something in her.
She craned up to kiss him, catching him by surprise. Instead of melting into the kiss, he broke away and met her eyes with a hard look on his face.
Panic and hurt rushed through her, but Percy whispered, âThis- look, I know you only meant it as a joke earlier, but this isnât all to like fulfill some bad boy fantasy or something, right?â
âItâs not, Percy,â Annabeth said quickly. âWhy would you think that?â
He averted his gaze and said, âI, uh, have had bad experiences in the past with girls like building this weird idea of me in their heads, and then theyâd get disappointed that I wasnât what they wanted me to be. And like, thatâs fine, but I really, really like you Annabeth, and I- Iâm not sure-â
âHey, listen to me,â Annabeth said, putting a hand on his cheek. âI like you. Like a lot. Itâs honestly a little scary how much. The whole bad boy thing was an insensitive thing to say, I didnât mean that, and I promise thatâs not what I like about you or even how I think of you, okay?â
âOkay,â Percy whispered. He pulled her closer to him, hands resting on her hips, and put his forehead against hers. âSorry for fucking up our first kiss.â
Annabeth breathed a laugh and leaned in to steal a kiss. âOh, donât worry about that. We have plenty of time to make up for it.â

whatâs a god to a nonbeliever? by Almas
Itâs not that heâs âhung up on The Menaceâ as Dionysus so delicately put it. Itâs just that itâs a bad idea. Awful, really. Percy Jacksonâs got off-limits stamped across his pretty little forehead. If Zeus had sent Dionysus to that demigod camp over a nymph, then Poseidon would certainly toss him into Tartarus if he went near his son.Â

Percy was having a normal day at the beach, until he decided to try to waterbend like Katara from his favorite show.Problem is, he succeeds. Now he has to figure out how to waterbend, and keep the normal people from finding out they have a waterbender in their midst.Finding out he's actually a child of Poseidon will probably explain a few things.

The order of things are changing. Old rules are shifting, old gods awakening. Percy Jackson must come to terms with his own mortality, or rather, the lack of it.Â
And I will swallow my pride (In hopes of a final goodbye) by IzzyMRDB
"The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep." ~Robert Frost
-
Rhea thought the fight was over when she handed Luke that blade. The war she fought for others was over. She was wrong.
Now a thousand miles and a thousand years from home, all alone with just the ghost of a curse to accompany her in her travels, she will only fight for the wars she chooses.
"I promise." It tastes like a lie, but I know Iâll do my best to fulfill it. How am I to make the gods listen when they donât even know who I am?
Hold Tight and Pretend Itâs a Plan by Rynna_Aurelia
Olympus has fallen. The second Gigantomachy has ended far differently than the first, and in Gaea's triumph, the world has been torn apart. But the Fates have seen what ends their failed meddling brought Western Civilization, look on at the deadâand undo what should never have happened the only way they possibly can. Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon, is returned to his twelve-year-old self, memories intact and determined to save everyone he can. But he is not alone. The Moirai underestimated the strength of the Lord of Time when stealing his power, and there is something about this particular demigod brat that intrigues him. . .
 Perseus Jackson came roaring to life with a violent gasp, green eyes wild. After a moment of panicked flailing and struggling to breathe, his fear-filled gaze settled upon a girl with blonde hair and stormy grey eyes, her face stern and unimpressed.
 "You drool in your sleep."
Trading Tomorrow by Darkmagyk, loosingletters
Percy Jackson arrives at Camp Half-Blood bruised and bleeding, with the knowledge that he's the son of a god and his mother is dead. His little display with the Minotaur has caught the attention of the camp. But heâs not sure it is good attention, yet. Only the Hermes Cabin's not-quite Co-counselor Theseus, âcall me Theo,â doesn't treat him like a fascinating zoo exhibit. Which would be a relief, except he looks exactly like Percy: same green eyes, same trouble making smile, same black hair. The only differences are the fact that Theo is six years older, covered in battle scars, and the black tattoo on his arm. A trident and the letters SPQR.
Theo is eighteen, powerful, and unclaimed. And his resemblance to Percy could set a dangerous precedent.

âI just donât get it,â he huffs to Will as they put up holiday decorations in the unusually quiet infirmary, âthey talk to me like Iâm supposed to know stuff. Like Iâm the new Percy or something.â Nico expects Will to laugh at this, shrug off his concerns as unfounded and tell him heâs being over-dramatic like usual. He is wrong.
âOkay, babe, donât take this the wrong way. But, you kind of are the new Percy.â

Based on a tumblr post I made about Nico being the obvious choice as Camp Half-Blood's unofficial leader when Percy leaves for college. (only no one bothers to tell Nico that)

Were I That Burning Star by californianNostalgia
 An old panic gripped meâthe breathless fear of being forgotten, being lost. Would anyone remember me when I was gone? Would someone think to lay a flower down on my grave and say some fond nothings like, âWas a pretty cool guy, that Lester,â while wiping off a single dramatic tear rolling down their cheek? Oh, who was I kidding. So what if no one remembered? There wasnât much I was proud to be remembered by anyway.

damn some people actually liked the last one so hey letâs do more over two months later (i have trouble working with tumblr i donât know how to do stuff lol iâm sorry)
he probably smoked with alex fierro at least once
when carter met percy during the whole son of sobek fiasco he was so scared that sadie would meet him and instantly go, idk, get a tattoo or shave her headÂ
the aphrodite cabin had him wear a soft sweater and booty shorts once since percy lost a bet and heâs tried to get rid of the pictures but the stolls keep reprinting it out on film (chiron has a copy in his office, itâs his picture for that wall thing jason saw)
he has a buzz cut and the top is long and dyed different shades of green
percyâs Nosebleed was partly caused by being dropped on his nose and his piercing tore his flesh (his high fucking pain tolerance didnât pay any attention to it until the blood hit the ground)
his reputation at goode is. less than stellar. half the girls who donât have an actual problem with him wanna fuck him and the other half wish they had his combat boots.
once on a field trip he saw nancy bobofit on the same tour but for her school and nancy somehow recognized him and now the yancy academy teachers are praying for the goode teachers
the only reason he wears the chb shirt is because camp feels like home to him, heâs not ashamed of it
