Notes:

hi everyone! I always end up writing a chat fic for fandoms I like, and I like using them as downtime when the thought of writing fullhand is daunting, but I still want to write. This is a secondary project for times like those or times when i just wanna write cringe, but my main focus is currently another Jercy fic you can find on my profile! It’s a Uni Roommates no powers AU with a lot of hurt/comfort. It’s called you can hear it in the silence (you are in love) and if you like Jercy, I hope you try it out and enjoy it!

This is basically post-canon (the PJO timeline confuses me an unnecessary amount, so for reference this begins in the September after Percy’s 19th birthday) with no trials of Apollo and a few earlier breakups. It’s set in the modern day bc I can’t be assed to 2010sify everything, but aside from stuff like all the characters being born ten years later there’s no plot changes. Also technology is back bc that’s a stupid handicap!!

Usernames should be obvious. Solangelo and Hazel/Frank are pre-established, Jercy and Pipabeth are not.

I don’t intend to add more characters to the main groupchat. However, other characters may steal phones, be in dms, or secondary group chats. Because they’re not in the main group chat, they won’t be tagged.

Piper, Nico, and Will are out. Thalia and Reyna aren't "out" per se, but everyone understands that they're ace. Annabeth isn't out, but isn't closeted either- she just doesn't bring it up in conversation. Percy's not out about his sexuality and transition to anyone except Annabeth. Jason is in denial.

Percy, Jason, and Reyna are going to College in new rome. Annabeth, Piper and Leo are going to College in New York. Frank and Hazel are praetors. Thalia's on the hunt. Will's head apollo counselor. Nico does whatever the fuck he wants.

(At the time of writing this note, I have not read Mark of Athena, House of Hades, or Blood of Olympus in over four years. Please cut me some slack, I’m rereading!)

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

sugar mommy: Also, how am I supposed to 'bury' the picture of will? Even if I put my phone in the ground, surely he'd be able to see it on his phone?

xxTHUNDERBOLTxx: bury= send a bunch more messages so it's really deep and it doesn't show up right away when you open the chat

Piper: did you just come out in the mf gc??

Percy: kind of ig lmao ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Piper: since when?? you were literally so whipped for beth for so long lmao

Percy: kind of since forever i guess

Percy: i love beth but after the initial euphoria of dating wore off

Percy: i guess i realised that i never really saw her in that way and i just started dating her because everyone expected us to

Percy: she is the single most important person in my life and i would die for her in a heartbeat

Percy: but not in a coupley way, in a found-family best friends way

Piper: mood

Piper: i remember when everyone was trying to push me and jason together but i realised after a while i just wanted him to be my best friend

Piper: the heteronormative beliefs into gay pipeline is strong with these ones

Percy: definitely haha

Percy: honestly though, breaking up with annabeth was really relieving

Percy: she'd felt the same way about it and it was like this huge stressor on our relationship was lifted

Percy: especially after the place which shall not be named

Piper: i'm glad you two got closer from it (?)

Piper: i'm also glad you broke up because she's mine 🗡️

Piper: what do you identify as btw?

Percy: fuck knows

Percy: 'boys' i guess

Percy: also good luck

Percy: i can never really tell with beth but i'm pretty sure she likes you back? she does like girls so

Piper: that's funny

Piper: also did u know she was bi already and didn't tell me????

Percy: i wasn't just gonna out her like that lmao

Percy: but yeah we talked about our sexualities the night we broke up 

Piper: cool >:)

Piper: anyways i'm going to go and try to get a girlfriend then
