Work Text:

"Well Perseus." Said, Zeus who was stroking his bread like a cartoon villain. "Choose."

"Choose?" Percy asked, his brows furrowed

"Someone gotta die today and you have got the final- Ah shit wrong script." He looked down to his stack of papers and went through them. "Aha!" He picked up a red paper and began to scan to through it.

"Alright buddy immortality or a 10/10 fine shyt"

Percy looked back to Annabeth, who was trying not to meet his eyes like a yandere or whatever Japanese bullshit they putting out these days. He remembered back than 2 years ago when he thought that she was going to become a huntress, he had been on the verge of a 'I did it again :)' thinking that he will lose her.

But if he became a god that means that no more demigods will die under his watch which was pretty concerning that childern are dying. But if he became a god than that mean that he will have to see all of his hb and hg turn to dust and blow away, everyone and everything he loved will die. What will he have in 500 years? No more demigods will die.

He turned and looked at Zeus, square in his pedo ahh face.

"I accept." He said, nonchalantly

"THE FUCK YOU DON'T PERCY" Screamed Aphrodite who was practically fuming in her chair gripping her chair like shes about to be sent to dagestan for 2-3 years

"Now, now Aphrodite don't ruin the moment girl." Said Athena who was munching on popcorn like she was watching a fuckass digital circus.

"GET THE TF OUTTA HERE, HOE I'M TRYING TO GET PERCABETH TOGETHER!" Shouted Aphrodite.

"NOW YOU LISTEN HERE YOU PRETTY BOY! I WANT YOU-"

"Yes yes yes, we are all happy that the knicks had won Aphrodite but try to keep that shi in your pants" Zeus interrupted.

"Well then congratulations Pissy Jackson" He randomly began singing which made Percy question if the God's are high on that ketamine or just discord mods.

"You are a god now hooray!" And than with a flick of his wrist he changed Percy clothes into a Tupa alongside a sea crown which made him look like gay af. But he didn't mind he actually preferred to be a pretty boy.

"NOOOOOOOO" Annabeth collapsed to the floor and started punching it like Zooble

"PERCY!!"

"Man ts is so sad, alexa play 'Never be enough'" Says Apollo, singing the lyrics of it so that the whole city can hear his magesntic voice.

*It all went wrong gif*

"PERCY HOW COULD YOU DO THIS LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID" Wailed Aphrodite,

"NOW I HAVE TO UPDATE MY AO3 FANFIC SAYING THERES NO MORE PERCABETH, NO MORE EDITS FOR THESE TWO. GODS WHY!" She started crying, which cause a earthquake in France. Fuck France.

"If that's the case th-then" Annabeth said, getting herself off the ground, she turned to Lady Artermis whom repeatly shaking her head like shes has to listen to KSI, "Lady Artermis-"

"Oh NO NO NO NO, I AM NOT GETTING PULLED INTO TS MAN" She standing on her chair and cowering like Annabeths is some cockroach.

"I, Annabeth Chase Pedge myself to the goddess Artermis,"

"OH NO ANNABETH DON'T DO IT GIRL" Shouted Aphrodite, clutching her hair like shes some manic.

"I turn my back to the company of men,"

"NO YOU DON'T OR ELSE YOU HAVE NO ONE TO CRACK LIL A" Screamed Artermis.

"I think shes knows that." Athena says, while drinking a newly acquired matcha.

"Accept enternal Maidenhood, and join the hunt."

Everyone in the room gasped dramatically, Aphrodite fainted and collapsed to the floor, Artermis has began silently praying to tung tung sahur, Athena did not give a shit and was watching the new Odyssey movie by Christopher Nolan, and Percy was left stunned, that Annabeth is went over to the huntress, Oh gods why?

"Oh hell nah, shes gonna get bianaced on her first day, RIP to my girl Annabeth she was a real one." Apollo says, crying as he changed the music to sign of the times.

-1000000 aura

"Well then," Poseidon says, while clasping his hands. "If theres nothing else to say than boy, let gets outta here.Oh yeah btw you ass is gonna be camp director for some reason any way let's go!"

"OH NO YOU DON'T CRASHOUTER" Aphrodite interrupted, getting off the floor and marching towards Poseidon

"YOU CAN'T TAKE THIS AWAY FROM ME, FIRST IT WAS ODY AND THAT PENELOPE AND NOW THIS?"

"Sorry can't hear you over the sound of us leaving bye!" Poseidon said, waving goodbye to the other gods.

"YOU FISH FUCK-"

Then they were gone.

6 or 7 years later…..

Annabeth woke up slowly, she looked around her tent which was a tent. She sighed than got up to another day of hunting monsters or zionst. She went over to her table, and noticed a framed picture of Charlie LeKrik, beside it was a letter. She squinted at the unexpected letter, maybe its a letter from Hogwarts and that she had been accepted to a magical school in England. Rip off. She went over to the table and picked it up, she realised that the letter had a ocean postcard, and she filp it over.

To Wisegirl It red.

Percy.

Her heart stopped which may lead to death but she didn't care. She took a moment to think about it. Why has the sea twink decided to write to her? Oh my gods, he's pregnant. He got knocked up by some merman and nows he's asking her help. She took a deep breath, a piece of her mind knew that wasn't true. But hey can't but to be curious right?

"Annabeth!" Thalia voice, came from the outside.

"Come out side! We have to kill the big yahu!"

Annabeth groaned than she decided to put the letter in her pocket, Later She thought. She went outside to the cool hot deserty weather of Isreal. And she noticed that Apollo had shown up and was talking to Artermis meanwhile she quickly spotted Thalia who was waving her hand around

"Finally, Annie what took you?" Thalia asked, as Annabeth walked over to her.

"Oh well you know sleeping and all that." She replied, grabbing a apple from a nearby table and took a bite. Than throwing said apple towards a dumpster like she was a main character of a Disney show.

"Well, since you here then I guess were all set to hunt down Benjamin Netanyahu!"

Apollo ears perked up, and he went over to the girls "Benjamin Netanyahu you say? He's a tough one to beat you know, mind if I tag along?" He asked, his eyes gleaming or something. "Sure, I mean if you ask Lady Artermis of course."

He turned towards his sister and gave her puppy eyes "Please?"

"Fine" She replied,

"Great! Oooh let me get my alexa!" He vanished, into thin air then appeared once again holding a Amazon Alexa.

"Alright guys, let's move out!" Thalia says to the group of huntresses.

They all piled up in boonies blue bus which they stole from god know where, and began to drive off towards Tel Aviv.

*
Percy hated Tel Aviv, it was so hot, and sunny plus he couldn't watch Finding Nemo in the city since the big Yahu only allowed bbon$ music and freaking hazbin hotel. But his father forced him to take a break and what better way to do it than in a Erika Krik concert being hosted in the city.

He took another sip of his matcha latte and looked up at the already gathering crowd at the entrance of the Stadiun. He decided now the time to spread those legs and went inside stadium, pushing aside fangirls and Israeli mossad agents to find the entrance was heavily block off by IDF soldiers.

"Halt," Said one of the IDF Soldiers "No ticket, no enter"

Percy reached into his pocket and held out a totally real CIA Pass.

The guy sees that pass and nods "Hail to Benjamin Netanyahu." He says, letting Percy in.

Gods the stadium was packed, there was fangirls and fanboys cheering on Erika as she pull on a dance move that would send benyonce to her grave but that wasn't his main concern. All he needed right now was a holiday, no more monsters, no more demigods and no more pedo Zeus. As he was walking aimlessly like a Disney princess she suddenly bumped into someone.

"Oops sorry," He turns to the person he bumped into and-

Annabeth Gun found with school shooter

His heart started to race, faster than Lewis hamilton during the Dubai GP 2021, God's she was beautiful but he can't say that shit otherwise peoples thinks he straight. And that isn't interesting to SOME people. He stared at her face, and she did two. The whole stopped for them and the two took each other in, he noticed that her gray eyes were more sharper and firece while still maintaing that beautiful look that he yearns for everyday. Her hair was tied into a braid just like a huntress would wear but he couldn't find a reason why but it all made her more beautiful and pretty. Gods how did they come to this. But they were just friends trust.

"Percy?" Annabeth asked, her brows furrowed"What in the gods are you doing here seeweed brain."

"Well I can ask the same for you."

She starched her head. "Umm well, We were sent here to hunt down Benjamin Netanyahu but I kinda got separated from Thalia and the others, Apollo saw Erika performing and he fangirled so hard."

"Ahh Benjamin Netanyahu, okay."

They stared at each other in awkward silence. Do they know?

"And for my performance, in honor of my dead husband Charlie Krik I would to invite someone on stage." Erika Krik announced which made crowd go crazy.

She pointed at Percy "YOU TWINK" Guy pointing at himself gif

"YES YOU COME ON STAGE BUDDY!" He was forcefully pushed by the crowd and ended up on top of the stage.

"Now, perform my dear boy." She said, as she threw a mic at him.

"Um um um," He stammered, the crowd all looked at him in anticipation. "This one is for some one I long for, but I don't think she- I mean he would reciprocate. Anyway I'll be doing a cover of 'Too little too late' By laufey."

The music started, and Percy started to sing his heart out which made the crowd shout louder than 9-11, he started to dance and made move which would make Michael Jackson die again. Percy tired to focus on Annabeth as he made some god awful bullshittt, and he noticed her laughing, shes laughing again. Gods he wished he could make her happy, but the fates are cruel and he knew that spending time with her was impossible. But maybe, just maybe. They could be together, not as friends but as something more. Lovers doesn't cover it no, the feeling for her doesn't fit that word.

As the music was about to end, he launch himself into the air and did a triple backfilp then landed on to the ground, aura style. The crowd went wild, more wilder than the Charlie Krik shooting. Than the curtains closed and he looked over to Erika who was sobbing, more tears than at her husband's funeral, if she even cried that is.

"Th-That was beautiful boy, whats your name?" She said in-between sobs.

"Uh Perseus Jackson."

She stood up and grab Percy's wrist "Come follow me, theres someone I would like you to meet."

*
The performance was actual bullshit, never in her life has she ever seen a performance that bad. But it did made her laugh, alot to be exact. Huh seeweed brain. Wait where would that Pretty boy be? Backstage. She walked over to the backstage and noticed that Donald Trump, bbon$ and gooseworx were all talking to each other. Also Percy was talking to the Big Yahu, there he is. Nows not the time she thinks. She felt a hand placed on her shoulder than she turned around to see Apollo.

"Wow, would you look at that." Said Apollo, shooting between Annabeth and Percy, yearners eyes.

"It's seems like theres that old friends do come hard huh?" Which made Annabeth roll her eyes.

Then Thalia came over alongside other hunteress, "There he is, that's the target oh no, he talking to totally not your boyfriend."

Hmm, Oh I know! "Seeweed brain!" She shouted, and it caught his attention. He went over to them like a good boy he is,

"Listen Percy, right now we have to Krik the hell out of that old guy. Think you can help?" She asked.

"Sure!" He says. "what you want me to do?"

"Umm, talk about Finding Nemo to him."

He raised one of his brows "And how would that work-"

"Just trust me seeweed brain." She said, seriously

He nodded than went over to Benjamin and went into a deep discussion

She looked over to the group who got bored and was in a heated argument with each other about which Jonas Brother was hottest. Huh, oh wait the letter.

She opened her parka and reached inside it pocket to pull out the letter. She unsealed the envelope and opened the letter.

To my dearest Annabeth, it red.

I don't if you are going to read this letter or not, but I want to it say out loud. Remember the time when we were both 12? I first arrived at camp, and we were playing capture the flag. Sure at end we fought against a monster but it was fun, us kids enjoying the time we didn't know that it was going to run out. That's whats made me still human, the ability to remember every single moment in my life. Remembrance is just another form of love, disguised under another meaning. And Annabeth I couldn't stop remembering you, when the gods made me choose between becoming immortal or staying mortal, I thought back to us, us spending time together and enjoying each other's company. I knew that demigods can't live long, and I chose to be their Protector. I know deep in your heart you think that i'm selfish but, Annabeth I love you. I love you so much that it hurts. It hurts not being able to hold you and give you the affection that your parents couldn't. But in another life, I would be able to love you.

I'm sorry that I love you.

Percy

Tears fell down onto the paper, I'm sorry that I love you, it hit her, worse than any weapon could do. She loved him, but she made a oath to Artermis. She took a shaky breath and she wiped the tears off her face. Then she heard a loud pop, and looked up to see that the big Yahu brain had exploded and was dead on the ground all the while Percy was walking over to her with a big grin on his face.

She quickly hid the letter in her pocket and straighten up nonchalantly, "Well then that's shorted out good job Kelp brain." Thalia says, as she was choking Apollo.

"Welp, I guess that it for me." He said. "See you around Wisegirl."

"Wait," Annabeth grabbed his wrist and the two made eye contact, gods those eyes were beautiful. All of the huntresses, Apollo and Thalia all snaped their heads at the two.

"Percy, I-I" His brows furrowed, but he nodded for her to continue, it was now or never. She couldn't find the words instead she clasped his shirt, and bring her lips towards his. In that moment, everything froze his lips were soft but warm against hers and it reminded her of Mount St Helens when she gave Percy a good luck kiss before running off. She didn't know if he had feelings for her but now, after reading the letter it didn't need a scientist to figure it out. She felt arms wrapping around her, gods she wished that she could love him. She pull away, breathless but it was worth it, she couldn't hold in the feelings, the love for him and God's it felt reliving.

Everyone gasped, Donald Trump had a heart attack and died on the spot, meanwhile the huntresses had their mouths opened like they saw gay people kissing back in the good old days. She didn't realised that Artermis had came too, putting her hands behind her head with her mouth opened. Meanwhile thalia had let go of Apollo's neck and was sobbing uncontrollably and Apollo was on the phone, updating the big Aphrodite of the new shit that happened.

She fell down to her knees to Artermis, "Please Artermis I need this!! Let me be with my Lady! All I want to do is be with Percy!"

Before she could respond, Charlie Krik came up from Tartarus and stood before the group. "Ykw fuck ya, I'm a Percabeth supporter!!" He says, while riping off his shirt revealing a 'I LUV PERCABETH' Shirt.

Artermis stammered for words, than she fainted and collapsed on the floor.

"Well I think that's a yes guys!" Charlie said to the pair. "Time for me to go!" And with that he disappeared leaving his wife to have a mental breakdown.

"Ykw you two I've been shipping you guys since the Annabeth fell off the cliff, and-"

"NOOOO" A girl Screamed who was doomscrolling on tiktok. "THEY DELAYED GTA 6 UNTIL 2028!!" Everyone in the room gasped except for Percy and Annabeth. "WHAT" Apollo grabbed the phone. "NOOOOOOOOOOO" He Screamed, louder than a jet engine, than he fell to his knees. He looked towards the celling "CURSE YOU ROCKSTAR GAMES!!" He turned to the group

"GALS WE GOING TO CALIFORNIA COME ON" Then all of them left leaving Annabeth and Percy standing alone in the room.

"Well," Percy took her hand and squeezed it."Where to wisegirl?"

She smiled "Anywhere." And they laughed like they were suddenly 12 again.
