    Summary

    After escaping the Labyrinth, Annabeth Chase carries the weight of failure, guilt, and a prophecy she’s terrified to name. Percy Jackson carries the storm.

    With war looming over Camp Half-Blood and the space between them growing wider by the day, everything they’ve left unsaid finally erupts beside the lake. Fear, love, and the truth neither of them can outrun.

    Sometimes, the rain listens.

    Summary

    She had spent so long measuring every gesture, every kiss, every word—that it stopped registering as a conscious action. Percy had proven to her time and time again that he would always be there, but up until now, their lives had been built around survival. For every knife she took for him was a long and treacherous fall he'd taken for her.

    It scared her to think that, without threats or fatal reasons to have the other’s back, he might realize she wasn’t doing enough.

    -
    or Annabeth Chase learns that it’s okay to be taken care of.

    Summary

    “percy.”

    “what? i’m just saying.” he shifted again, turning slightly so he could look up at her. “you get kind of… lighter.”

    “lighter?”

    “yeah.” his face softened a little. “when you read to me.”

    the words settled between them, warm and too honest.

    annabeth swallowed and went back to her book because she didn’t know where else to look.

    “you should sleep,” she said quietly.

    “i don’t want to yet.”

    “why not.”

    percy hesitated, then shrugged one shoulder. “i like being here.”

    or, annabeth reads to percy and silena and beckendorf spy on them.

    Summary

    she shakes her head. “you know damn well you don’t need my permission.”

    “i want it,” he says. “because when it comes to you, i don’t fucking trust myself.”

    something in her expression shifts. her anger bending into something more volatile.

    “that’s not my responsibility,” she says.

    “you make it your responsibility,” he snaps. “you always have.”

    she leans forward suddenly, unbuckling her seatbelt with a sharp click. the sound cuts through the tension like a blade.

    “what are you doing?” he asks.

    “proving a point,” she says.

    or, senior year, percy and annabeth, still not dating, get into an argument in the car and it gets a little heated both emotionally and physically.
