yes i think everyone should be wearing masks and i feel a blind rage when i see people not complying but i will not be your haven to feel morally superior to people in red states who have been left to suffer from covid not just by our criminally incompetent federal government but also their state and local officials who cannot give half of a shit if they live or die
the moon will sing a song for me i loved you like the sun!
Love me, won’t you: valentine’s day edition. edit by sophii <3
There’s a tree on the west side of the island, settled into a little copse where it can catch the last rays of sunlight as they settle over the ocean.
It’s Percy’s favourite place on the island. It’s in pretty tough competition with his yaya’s restaurant and the spring above the church and Icarus jump point where he got his first kiss from Annabeth. But this tree is pretty special because it’s where he spent many evenings of his adolescence laying with his girlfriend in stolen hours as they made out or did homework together or dreamed out loud about their futures together away from their imposing families. During that first summer, much to Grover’s chagrin, Percy had taken a penknife to the trunk of that tree and carved his and Annabeth’s initials there.
Five years later, he is happy to see the letters are still there.
“It’s not like they would go anywhere,” Annabeth argues, ever logical.
Percy shoves her. “Shut up, smart ass.”

While I think Annabeth is not really a touchy person and fan of PDA, I also think she is extremely physical with Percy, she is either holding his hand, hugging, having his arm around her waist or shoulder. Since book one she is the one to start physical contact between them, from holding his hand in the underworld to asking for a hug in BoTL. Annabeth grew up in a house where she didn’t get physical affection from her dad and we know Athena is a cold as her statue in a winter night, in other words…I’m so happy Annabeth found Percy.

To think– none of this would have happened the way it did if Sally Jackson had been taught to knock. (OR) a swimmers au where they are friends with benefits forced to fake date but it's all really a trojan horse because it's a chance for Percy and Annabeth to face some of their mommy and daddy issues fr <3

Riptide Chapter 3
The street outside the bookstore is quieter than usual. It’s just about closing time and Percy is shelving all the books who were moved from their nooks through the course of the day. Sally is cleaning the coffee counter, snacking on the last cookie in the display case and humming a song that Percy can’t quite place.
“Where have I heard that before?” he asks, rounding the corner of the nearest bookcase.
Sally smiles without looking up from what she’s doing. “It was one of your dad’s favorites. Every time it was on the radio, he’d turn it all the way up and sing along. Badly.”
Percy laughs. “So I got my singing voice from him?”
Sally looks up then. “Of course. I mean, I sing like an angel so it couldn’t be me.”
They continue their customary movements around the store, making sure all the tables are clean, the books are put away, and the oven is off, before heading to the back office.
It’s a small, unimpressive space with just enough room for two people, three if necessary. There is a small wooden desk that Percy remembers helping his dad build, still being able to note the by P+P carved into one of its legs. He runs his hand over it as he sits down, feeling comforted by its graininess against his skin.
Sally puts on her reading glasses and opens up her ledger, making notes of the days profits. “How we lookin?” Percy asks.
Sally sighs contentedly and leans back in her chair. “To be honest, we’re killing it.”
Percy smiles and lifts his hand for a high-five which Sally returns gleefully. “I knew it. Big book chains eat your heart out.”
As she sits back, she begins to simply watch Percy, who squirms under her gaze.
“Don’t do that thing,” he says.
“What thing?” she asks, playing dumb.
“That thing where you watch me and use your mom witchcraft to just like, get everything out of me.”
She smiles and shrugs. “Can’t help it, just comes naturally.”
