#percabeth graduation

[demigods-posts]

okay but percy and annabeth graduating. percy and annabeth having to sit rows away from each other ("it's only for a little over an hour, seaweed brain" "but who's gonna protect me, wise girl?"). and when annabeth walks on stage, teary-eyed and she's handed her diploma, percy is cheering the loudest for her. and she looks into the crowd and sees sally and paul with estelle, her family, looking so proud of her. she's found a home with these people. and then when it's percy's turn, he walks on to stage tear-eyed because's he didn't think he'd live past sixteen, much less graduate, but here he was, beating the odds. and annabeth and his mom are cheering so loud for him and he loves them so much. and then as the parents leave and wait outside for their kids, annabeth and percy take their picture with their graduating class and run outside, hand-in-hand and laughing with tears in their eyes because they did it and they can begin the rest of their lives together. and sally is standing next to paul (who is holding estelle), watching her son and his girlfriend be in love and together and she's crying so hard because out of everyone, those two deserve this. and then percy and annabeth run toward their family and they all group hug and

“percy keeps that picture of annabeth he had in his binder in his wallet and it’s his fav pic of annabeth”

instead i raise you

“sally found that picture while percy was missing and it now lives framed on the mantle of their apartment for the whole world to see how much that family loves her”

it makes annabeth choke up everytime she sees it bc all her pictures at her dads (if any) are pushed to the back and hidden behind pictures of his new family while the jackson’s have always and will continue to embrace her as part of their own

[page-to-script]

Honestly no wonder he opened the door with such distain when Apollo came a knocking

[percabethluv]

some percabeth headcanons to make you smile:

-percy proposes to annabeth their last semester of college during finals week, when she’s all stressed with tests and exams, but he know it’s the right time and that they’re ready, so he takes her for a picnic date in New Rome University’s garden (one of her favorite spots) and asks her

-soon after they graduate and get married, sally and paul help them move into a dingy old fixer-upper apartment in manhattan

-they go through their 20s, a young couple living in the big apple, annabeth has a job as a prestigious architect, percy works for the public school system advocating for kids and he volunteers at the local aquarium sometimes

-every once in a while they’ll see something weird or they have to fight a monster, but they know how this works and are just lucky to have been alive long enough to become adults

-i can also see that annabeth and percy come back to camp a lot to help whenever problems arise or new threats appear (where is our adult percabeth spinoff series, rick??)

-they know they want kids, but someday in the far future because they are right out of college and want to live life (because Lord knows they didn’t get to when they were teens). but then one day they find out that annabeth is pregnant, so percy quits his job and they welcome a baby girl

-annabeth is finishing studying for her phd at columbia when they find out the news, and percy completely supports her and makes her blue cupcakes when she’s stressed. when she graduates, percy, sally, paul, estelle, and her dad and stepmom are in the front row smiling

-their daughter has curly blonde hair and green eyes, and they name her Sophia, which means “daughter of wisdom” in Greek

[pjohoo-reclists]

hey I know this ask Is a little specific but are there any fics where Percy likes reveals his like struggling with guilt, and suicidal thoughts to people other than Annabeth? I love Percabeth I just really want to see other characters reacting to Percy's struggles! Thxxx!!!!

Hey Anon!! This wasn't too specific, don't worry. I read it and two fics immediately came to mind. One is a spot on match - Percy goes to therapy and talks about his guilt and suicidal thoughts/attempts. Took a little while to find a few more tho. Enjoy!

(Look, he didn’t want to be a half-blood.) For a moment Percy felt the urge to ask Grover if he was ever going to be free. But he didn’t so the words stayed in his mouth and there they would rot like fruit left out for days in the summer heat. Percy opened his eyes. He stared at the bathtub. “...Grover, do you think I’ll graduate college?” Percy heard a sharp inhale. “Yeah, Percy. I do.” A noise escaped his throat. His vision grew blurry. “I agreed to go on a quest,” Percy said, finally admitting it to someone.

She found him on a rock looking over the ocean, waves crashing below them, lit by a brilliant moon. It felt too pretty, given the state of the world, but he couldn't look away. Percy expected her to try and drag him back to camp, or maybe shove him off the cliff, but she only sat next to him. "Wanna talk about it?" .

“Hey,” Percy says, and it’s three AM, and Clarisse has finally got Ellis and Sherman to stop fucking fighting and go to bed, so why is he on the cabin doorstep, and really, how did he get around the landmines? Sure, all the counselors got to know cabin protections, but he hasn’t been at camp in… seven months? Eight? (Sure, Clarisse knows the exact date, deep down, a doomsday clock ticking away, your friend has been gone for this long and this long and this long– But she doesn’t need to admit that.) “The fuck do you want?” Her voice is gruffer than she means for it to. She loves him, deep down. (Very, very deep. You may need a gun pressed to her head to make the words come out. Doesn’t make it less true.) “Donuts,” he responds without pause, holding up one of the camp SUV’s keys. “I figured we could go out with Will. He’s waiting in the car already.” Or: post battle, Percy, Will, and Clarisse go out for donuts and talk for a while.

Maybe she’ll give him the peace he’s never truly had. Maybe she’ll let him rest for once. So he drifts, throat choking and burning with tears, eyes focused on the dimming light above him. Maybe this was his fate all along - to be swept away by the sea to a place even his father can’t find him. And maybe, he’s okay with that. Maybe he can sleep now. Or in which Percy Jackson has given up, but Poseidon has not.

Dad won’t have to keep threatening war every time Zeus gets his toga twisted. The prophecy’s done, so I won’t be bringing it down on Nico.

Summer spent at Montauk after the war with Sally and Paul helping the kids deal with their trauma

Their senior year with hurt/comfort trope, cute dates, and young love

Off to college in New Rome where Annabeth is an academic weapon and Percy somehow becomes more of a simp for her

More adventures with Percy being over protective and Annabeth leaning on him for support

Drunk parties with PDA percabeth

Percy definitely proposes as they graduate

Both of them become professors and stay in California to start their family

Pregnant!Annabeth and over protective Dad!Percy

They are finally happy

[helyeahmangocheese]

realistic-ish percabeth uni au where

annabeth starts school a year ahead of percy so he has time to write (at least) the first pjato book. and get into school etc.

this makes their graduation years actually line up bc a b.arch is a 5 year degree

more on that in a bit though annabeth does not design olympus at 16/17

she probably drafts it but continues developing it through her introductory and intermediate studios

that would be years 1, 2, and the first term of 3. nru is probably on the quarter schedule but she probably only has 2 studios per year

her advanced studios (second half of 3, one or both of 4) are used to finalize olympus' plans and set some of them to action. if the 2nd studio in year 4 is still on olympus, it would be a design/build where she is there for actual construction

personally I think that she might spend the 2nd studio in year 4 getting ready for her thesis with preliminary plans

she probably spends a summer anyway working on these drafts. new rome inspires her a lot even though she is so in love with new york and would like to go back.

her 5th year thesis is new athens. it takes at least a year to configure basic city planning with camp halfblood (which is also designed with upgrades for halfblood longevity of life) as well as sample plans for housing and civil buildings. they aren't perfect bc each of these buildings really could have used a studio of their own, but they're a damn good place to start. her thesis defense is mostly just convincing the Olympians (now in a pretty good mood with her Olympus design) that they should invest in new athens with her anyway.

this lines up pretty well with percy's mission with the pjato books to educate young demigods for their own safety and to help them all grow old in a place with the infrastructure for it.

percy either continues writing or eventually becomes a teacher? or someone else majorly involved in the community. an organizer even.

they just make new athens and chb and nyc just a better home for halfbloods in general they build smth permanent ITS SO GOOD FOR THEIR ARCS

3, 5, and 24 please!

omg hi my beloved!!!!!!!

3. 3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of?

tangled, caption america and the winter soldier, ponyo :)

5. what made you start your blog?

i started off as an austin & ally blog bc i was OBSESSED with the show and i kept seeing gifs and edits on tumblr so i decided to join! i was in middle school (2016) so the tumblr aesthetic seemed cute to me lol (also percabeth-auslly i think ur my oldest mutual <3)

24. what's one thing you're proud of yourself for?

is it bad that it’s taking me a long time to come up with an answer to this 💀 tbh i would say graduating with a bachelors degree in neuroscience. it was rlly challenging and if i had started a few years later i might’ve given up and switched to psych (i was actually considering doing that at the end of junior year) but im glad i got through it. for what it’s worth it’s helped me appreciate my passion for psychology and realize what i’d rather do <3

[justabooknerdposts]

possibly a fic of percy and annabeth with annabeths family, or ive always been curious about annabeths athena siblings, obviously she has to be very close to them(not just malcolm) and I think it'd be sweet to see their reaction to percabeth

*Tried to work in both lol hope you enjoy it!*

Annabeth had been nervous about this visit home. Things had gotten better between her and her mortal family over the last few years, but it could still sometimes be awkward. She'd probably be less nervous if she was on her own. But Percy was with her. And it was the first time she was bringing him to her dad's house as her boyfriend. Which seemed crazy, now that they'd been together almost two years and were at their last stop on their way to Camp Jupiter and New Rome University. But the last couple of years had been pretty hectic, especially with Gaea rising and Percy being kidnapped for six months. Plus, it was still a risk for Percy to fly, which made it tricky to get him across the country. So now here they were, driving the Prius down the street to her dad's house. And she was bringing her boyfriend to her family's house. Annabeth tapped her fingers against the car door, trying not to let her nerves show. She wasn't even sure why she was nervous. Her dad and stepmom had met Percy before. They'd just seen him a few weeks ago at graduation. But this felt different.

She flashed back to two years ago at Camp Half-Blood, after she and Percy had first gotten together. Once they'd climbed out of the lake and said good night, she'd crossed the green to the Athena cabin, unable to keep a huge smile off her face. However, when she opened the door of Cabin Six, a massive noise hit her, causing her to nearly jump out of her skin. It took her a few moments to gather herself and realize that it was her siblings, cheering and whooping for her.

"Oh my gods," she said, once she realized what was going on. "Are you all serious?"

Malcolm was the first to come forward and clap her on the shoulder, although he was definitely not the only one with a massive grin on his face. "We're just really happy that you're happy," he told her. "And we just also want you to know that if you're ever not happy with Jackson, we will be happy to help you come up with a plan to end him."

"Oh my gods," Annabeth said again, trying to roll her eyes, but she was pretty sure she was blushing to the roots of her hair. "I don't think you'll have to worry about that. But thanks anyway."

Her other siblings came up to her, too, giving her hugs and fist bumps and handshakes. Some of the younger ones hugged her especially hard, and Annabeth knew it wasn't just because they were happy for her. It had been a hard week. Really, it had been a hard summer. And she suspected they were glad to have an excuse to get some reassurance. So she returned their hugs tightly and tried not to think about the campers whose bunks were now empty.

She could always count on her siblings in the Athena cabin to support her. She was less sure about how Matthew and Bobby would react. Truthfully, she was a little worried they were going to be rude or ask Percy weird questions or something. Not to mention what her dad and stepmom might do or say.

As it turned out, she shouldn't have worried. Her dad gave them both one of the warmer greetings she'd ever received from him, including an extra long hug that made Annabeth swallow hard to avoid choking up. Her stepmom also smiled and hugged her, then Percy, and welcomed them both into the house.

Matthew and Bobby's greeting was pretty standard for Annabeth but almost too enthusiastic for Percy. They immediately started asking him questions about fighting monsters. Then Matthew blurted out, "Is it true that your pen turns into a sword?"

Percy glanced at Annabeth, then at Mrs. Chase. But her stepmom only gave a small smile and a nod, then said, "Just go out in the backyard." Percy shot Annabeth a quick smile, then all three boys disappeared out the back door.

"Thanks again for letting us stay for a couple days," Annabeth said. "The dorms won't be ready for move in until after the weekend. Something about summer semester."

"You're always welcome, Annabeth," her stepmom said. She frowned, then said, "I know it hasn't always felt that way to you. And I'm sorry for that. But you are welcome here any time."

Her dad nodded. "This is your home, too, honey. Now that you're out here, I hope…I hope we'll get to see you a little more?"

He'd ended it on a question, giving her the opportunity to choose. Not so long ago, Annabeth might have scoffed, or shot back a harsh remark. Now, though, after all the things she'd been through, especially last summer, she found she didn't have it in herself to respond that way. They were trying. And she was willing to try again, too. A fresh start for all of them.

"I appreciate that," Annabeth said truthfully. "I'll try my best."

"We will, too," her dad replied. After a moment of awkward silence, he clapped his hands. "Now, Annabeth, if you have a minute, I was wondering if you might look at a project I'm working on. I've been trying to recreate a wing joint that mimics those pegasi wings, but I keep running into a hiccup—"

Twenty minutes later, Annabeth escaped into the backyard to join Percy, although she had managed to have a pretty enjoyable conversation with her dad about aerial stability and the flight mechanics of rotating joints. When she stepped out onto the back porch, she narrowly managed to avoid being sprayed by a jet of water.

"Hey!" she yelped, dodging out of the way.

"Sorry, babe!" Percy called. He was standing in the middle of the yard with the hose in his hand. Riptide was no longer anywhere to be seen, but he was now making the water do crazy shapes and powerful bursts, which Matthew and Bobby seemed to find supremely entertaining.

"Okay, but seriously, you can't get it higher than that tree over there, can you?" Bobby asked.

Percy smirked. "Challenge accepted."

As a skinny jet of water shot thirty feet into the air, Percy glanced over at Annabeth with a smile. She returned it, feeling grateful that things were going well. It made her hopeful for the next few years of their life in California. It was nice to know that the different parts of her family could get along.

[malrie]

the seven dynamics quantified are like:

jason and percy - friends in college in same club with same friend group but never meet one on one bc that would be awkward and they have nothing in common.

jason and frank and hazel - same hometown friends bc of proximity kind of deal. like went to pre-k and graduated together in their small class of 8 people.

hazel and leo (nonromantic) - “our parents were friends so we grew up knowing each other” type of feeling.

annabeth and leo - co-consultants in different firms that like working with each other bc their actual coworkers suck ass.

annabeth and piper - bosom buddies. canonically steal each others food bc they’re so close?! kind of a strong “we’re both taken and in loving relationships rn but if we were both single at the same time we’d be open mouth kissing” vibe

percy and piper - NOT prank friends or whatever fanon made up. to piper it’s like “my best friend’s longterm boyfriend” that she sees twice a year on holidays but they’re friendly enough and also bc of annabeth she knows all of his business but he doesn’t know hers

percabeth and piper - re: above. parents and child

piper and hazel and annabeth - culminated in that one scene where jason asks piper to talk to reyna for him and all the the girls lock eyes. The Girls of the group who all actually are friends and actively hang out compared to the boys’ side, who have gang wars or whatever.

son trio - group project friends who never would’ve spoken aside from their assigned group but then knocked it out of the park together so always try to team up when working. still don’t always see each other outside of school.

lost trio - shakespearean tragedy play characters. codependent. doomed love. death is their fourth.

annabeth and jason and frank - weirdest match up and not really besties but likely the most reasonable combination when you want peace walking into argo ii’s common room at 7am.

the seven - coworkers who don’t know much abt each other cuz they just grind. they go out drinking after a deadline passes and it’s like dead silent unless people who are already close speak to each other.

Chapter 1: Someone Turns Your Heart Around

Annabeth didn’t need background noise while she did her homework. But her awful neighbors blared their stereo at all times of day; they favored the late to early morning hours. She could hear and feel the bass through their thin walls. Her only saving grace was noise-canceling headphones. A gift from her roommates last Christmas. So it wasn’t unusual for Leo or Thalia to scare the living daylights out of her when Annabeth was in her zone.

She was drafting on their kitchen table. During her sophomore year, she had learned the hard way not to draft buildings on the floor when she had to redo her architecture midterm overnight due to a spilled can of Diet Coke. Headphones on, no music, just good old-fashioned silence, pencil in hand, and a tightly secured cup of soda on her left.

There was no passage of time when Annabeth was drafting. But it had to be after midnight when Thalia tapped her shoulder. Annabeth jumped and tossed her pencil five feet in some direction. She pulled off her headphones.

The first thing she noticed was the music had stopped.

“C’mon bedtime,” Thalia said.

“I’m almost done,” she insisted.

“It’s one am.”

Annabeth checked her phone.

1:12 AM

“Oh.” She began packing up her supplies. “How was the thing?”

“The thing?” Thalia laughed, “you really need to get out more. The band was great. Leo and I may drag you with us next time.”

Annabeth frowned, wondering where her pencil had gotten to.

“Here.” Thalia picked up the pencil which had rolled into their living space.

“Thanks. I’m glad you had a good time, maybe I’ll go when things slow down at school.”

Thalia smirked, “I don’t think Columbia ever slows.”

Annabeth looked up at her friend and smiled, “Nothing I can’t handle.”

“Oh I know, blondie. I know.”

They had known each other since Annabeth was seven when Thalia's family moved into the neighborhood. Thalia was a few years older but had a younger brother Annabeth’s age. She liked Jason Grace well enough but there was something about Thalia that just clicked. Maybe it was because with her Annabeth didn’t have to be the perfect only child, she got to be a kid. Still, the 3 of them ran that little cul-de-sac during their middle school years or at least they liked to think they did.

Being older meant Thalia was already out of school. She’d gotten the damn piece of paper because her dad threatened to do anything in his power to make her graduate. Their dad was a real piece of work.

Now, Thalia had a job in the city at a rescue center. Over the years, she’d grown pretty soft to animals and every couple of months tried to convince Annabeth and Leo to break their no pets allowed lease and adopt.

Annabeth knew Thalia loved no one in this world like her little brother. She’d do anything to protect him. She knew Thalia was terrified of heights but still went to the top of the Empire State Building for Annabeth’s eighteenth birthday. She stayed in the observatory room but she still made the journey to the top. Annabeth knew she acted tough and looked tougher but Thalia had a soft spot for animals, found family like Annabeth and Leo, and a love for anything so spicy it made you cry.

And Thalia knew Annabeth in all the same ways. She always kept a quart of mint chocolate chip ice cream in the freezer because she knew it was the one food Annabeth ate when stressed. Thalia knew Annabeth’s relationship with her family had always been a sore spot but as her stepbrothers got older, the closer the Chase siblings got. Most importantly, she knew Annabeth put her schoolwork above everything. Which is why she knew there was a slim chance that Annabeth would go out on weekends with her and Leo, not even to go see Jason’s band. Unless it was a special occasion like one of their birthdays.

“Alright ladies, it’s time for bed,” Leo announced from the top of their short staircase that led to their bedrooms. “Leo is tipsy and sleepy and your yapping is echoing down the hall.”

“We’re coming,” Thalia said.

…

Percy loved the rush of being on stage. It was like a wave crashing a little higher than expected but not enough to knock you down.

He didn’t always think he’d be a singer. There were a few years when he thought he’d never make anything of himself beyond a little family in New York if he was lucky. But when he got to college and met Piper it changed everything.

It was their spring semester of freshman year. Percy had been sitting in this big green space they had in the middle of campus on a blanket with his guitar. Paul, his stepdad, had taught him how to play when he was fifteen. Playing guitar had been the one thing aside from swimming that felt like home. Percy was good at it. He could calm his thoughts with chords and lyrics and keep his fingers busy with the strings. It was easy to get lost in it.

That’s exactly how Piper found him. She had this fierce energy about her. Confidence that Percy had always wished for in high school, something over the years that Piper had instilled in him.

She didn’t bother introducing herself or even saying anything at all. Instead, she just started singing.

There’s this movie that I think you’ll like This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City This cowboy’s running from himself And she’s been living on the highest shelf

Percy harmonized with her until the song was over.

“You’ve got a great voice,” he told her.

“You’re pretty skilled yourself,” she replied, “I’m Piper.”

He had never seen her on campus before that day but they spent the next few months hanging out, watching movies, complaining about their shitty love lives, and eventually auditioning for a drummer.

It took 3 months before Jason walked into their audition room. That day it had been a space they rented on campus. The music department also lent out instruments so they rented a drum set for a few hours.

When Jason entered the room, Piper immediately whispered to Percy, “he’s hot,” and winked.

Percy wasn’t about to hire the guy based on how hot Piper thought he was but then they heard him play.

Now, he couldn’t imagine life without the two of them.

So yeah, Percy loved being on stage with two of his best friends but what he loved more was the moments just after he left the stage; when you could still hear the crowd applauding and the noise ringing in his ears when his bandmates clapped his shoulder and he’d bring them sweat and all into a bone-crushing hug, when Percy wonders if this feeling of lightness will ever disappear. When they make it big, will stadiums feel different? Or will they always be this weird trio from the New York City streets who love making music together?

But these last weeks, that lightness had formed itself into a tightness. Sitting right in the middle of his chest. And it had everything to do with a girl named Annabeth.

Maybe he should back up a little.

It was the weekend before St. Patrick’s Day, their last gig for two weeks. Jason was going on a sibling trip with his sister, Thalia, plus with the holiday almost no bars in the city were looking for some no-name-twenty-somethings and their band to be playing to the drunkest crowds. So, they wanted it to be a good one.

This bar was a place they hadn’t played before so setup took a little longer as they realized the stage was slightly larger than what they normally dealt with. It was a college bar which meant plenty of people their age, which was refreshing. Normally, Percy pulled out some oldies covers to appease the older crowds they typically played for.

He was happy to not have to try his darndest to remember the words to Haddaway’s What Is Love tonight. It repeated itself too much and got jumbled in his head.

It happened in the middle of their set. Piper was introducing the next song. She and Percy took turns with vocals. While Piper was talking about her ex-girlfriend who she wrote this song about, Percy was switching out his guitar for a tambourine. Percy began hitting his thigh with the tambourine, Jason was playing a steady beat on his drums, and Piper opened her mouth to start singing.

Heartbreak Saturday nights, getting ready To make you see that I'm better already I put on every perfume and I do it to hurt you, oooh Make sure I smell like your bedroom when I was in it Wearing the dress that I met you and sent you spinning And I flirt with your friends but it’s a beggar’s revenge Cause she’s with you again

Percy let his eyes wander over the crowd, people seemed to be enjoying their set. It was one of the biggest crowds they had played for. His eyes trailed over to the bar because he knew if Grover had shown up he’d be there. Grover tried to make it to most of their gigs but Percy never knew for sure if Grover had made it or not until he spotted him in the crowd. Percy had been looking for a pair of brown eyes belonging to his best friend but instead, he found himself caught in a pair of stormy gray ones.

She was watching him too. He knew because her cheeks flushed like she’d be caught doing something wrong; he was positive his were red too but hopefully it played off that he was just hot from performing.

He didn’t know it then but she was about to be the death of him.
