Summary
"The girl playing Belle is Venus' daughter Piper, from that time V slept with a Hollywood action star. Stunningly pretty like her mother, whom I haven't seen since she threw punch on my dress at senior prom. P has a lovely voice. She and Jason blend wonderfully. Looks like kismet.
I mentioned to him after rehearsal how pretty she is and how well they seem to get along. He turned very red, told me she's in his homeroom, then meekly asked if he's being that obvious about his crush. I reminded him I've raised him since he was three. He admitted he really likes her and he's pretty sure she likes him back, but he doesn't want to ruin the show if things get awkward. Very mature, very considerate.
I want to rip her apart. I'm so happy for him I could scream. I cried for ten minutes in my en-suite when we got home."

Summary
"Part of me wants nothing more than to tell him. My baby is in pain, and I could relieve it in a second. But the rest of me knows that as much as it hurts him, it's better for Jason in the end that he doesn't know about Thalia."

Darling, Not While I'm Around by Pythia (melancholic_pigeon)

Summary
"You're going to be okay," Percy soothes, squeezing Jason's clammy hand. The paramedic gives him a look that makes ice crawl up his spine.
"You're in good hands," she tells Jason, her tone too calm and reassuring to match her deliberate choice of words. "We'll do everything we can for you."
Jason's so out of it he probably can't tell the distinction, but Percy can. They don't know if he'll be okay, and they need to manage their expectations.

Summary
"Just trust me, okay?"
He's biting his lip again. Jason reaches up to stop him with a caressing thumb.
"You know I do."
Percy relaxes, smiling a wordless thank-you against the touch. Then he scoots up the mattress again and reaches over Jason's chest to his nightstand.
"I told you Annabeth and I got to third base, but I want to show you specifically how she used to reward me when I made her come."

Or, I Guess You're Just What I Needed, but from Jason's perspective. Can be read on its own!

Summary
"—A little extreme, I know—"
Jason is looking at him with a hesitance that doesn't suit him, so Percy gets up and crosses the room, letting his hips sway as he does.
"I was going to say smart, actually."
