Summary
The whole thing bothers her, especially because it makes her wonder what would have happened if Luke and Thalia had been the last tributes left. What then? Maybe one of them would have sacrificed themselves for the other—maybe they’d split up and let nature (or whatever grotesque mockery of it was created for the arena) take its course. Either way, Annabeth can’t possibly conceive that they’d ever really try to hurt each other.
That being said, she knows it’s not really the same with her and Percy. Up until now, he’s been an acquaintance, a friend of a friend, a person only in her periphery. And now, she shouldn’t even think of him as that, because at the end of the day, he’s just another person whose death must happen if she wants to come home alive. She doesn't want Percy to die, and she certainly doesn’t want to be the one to kill him, if it really comes down to it—but she doesn’t want to die in that arena, either.
Annabeth is always prepared for the prospect of getting reaped for the Hunger Games. She's not really prepared for whatever might happen after.

Summary
They pretend that there was ever any contention about her staying when Ethan directs her to the second bedroom of the cabin. She acts like she’s going to just leave after traveling some long, unspecified distance to get here, and he acts like he’s going to let her go without protest, but the bag eventually moves from the side table to the little single-seat sofa in the corner of the second bedroom anyway.

Summary
The first time Ilsa meets Ethan Hunt, he is unconscious. She knows everything about him—she knows nothing. She knows of Captain Hunt, NASA’s best test pilot, top of his engineering class. She knows him by the younger face she’s seen in old files, his statistics, his records. She doesn’t know the man slumped in the cold metal chair in the ground level of the NASA base, with soft brown hair that tickles the nape of his neck and rough hands. She’s only ever seen his two-dimensional form in uniforms and flight suits, not the living and breathing man in a faded sweatshirt and dusty cargo pants and a thick corduroy jacket.

Summary
Ilsa digs her gun out of the bottom drawer of a dresser in a room she hardly ever enters one night, disassembles it and lays it all out on her kitchen countertop. That first night, it takes her a minute and twenty-seven seconds to reassemble it. Over the next two days, she gets the time down to forty seconds. More time passes—twenty-three seconds. More time—fifteen.
She starts to wonder if she can make other things out of the parts; tools, decorations, practical, simple objects that have nothing to do with the original item. But as Ilsa gets more and more familiar with the individual parts, she realizes that there isn’t really anything she can rebuild them into other than a gun.
Maybe it serves as some analogy for her life. Discarded, taken apart. She reassembles the gun in eleven seconds and realizes a gun is all it was ever meant to be.

The Geometry of Grief: Fourteen Days by Anonymous_Author3

Summary
Warning: Spoilers of TBotL ahead!
It was a tactical error. A volcanic event. A mathematical certainty.
Annabeth Chase deals in facts, strategies, and architecture. But when Mount St. Helens erupts and Percy Jackson doesn't come out, the logic falls apart. For fourteen days, Camp Half-Blood waits. For fourteen days, the sea is silent.
Caught between the crushing probability of his death and the irrational hope of a miracle, Annabeth must navigate the hardest labyrinth of all: a world without her best friend.
A deep dive into the two weeks that changed everything, and the variables that finally pushed the architect to the breaking point.
Author's Note: Let's be real for a second: the canon books absolutely robbed us. We had a two-week gap where Annabeth genuinely believed Percy was dead, and we barely got to see the fallout! This is the angst, the grief, and the emotional turmoil that we deserved to see in Battle of the Labyrinth but were denied. I had to write it myself just to fix the timeline. Enjoy the pain!
P.S. The canon divergence tag is there for a reason, expect a different ending. I hope you like it, because I know I do! You're welcome, fellow Percabeth connoisseurs :-)

Summary
"Riptide won. Pallas got silver by an annoyingly tiny margin. Some irrelevant team got bronze.
During his celebration with his team, Percy's eyes found hers across the pool.
He grinned — swimming cap off, wet blonde hair falling into his eyes, blue eyes glittering with mirth, and of course, as always, he was shirtless. This did not affect her whatsoever, thank you very much."
Or, Percy and Annabeth are captains of rival swim teams, both with a single goal — compete in the Olympics on Team USA with as many of their teammates as possible.

Summary
When elite spy Ilsa Faust takes what should be a routine freelance mission in Zurich, she doesn’t expect it to shatter every rule of reality. Sent to intercept the sale of stolen technology, she’s caught in a catastrophic explosion of light, and wakes to find herself in 1995, decades in the past, alone and stranded. Her weapons are useless, her contacts nonexistent, and the world is a slower, analog version of the one she left behind. Desperate to find a way home, Ilsa uncovers whispers of a scientist who may have built the very device that sent her here, and discovers that history itself is being rewritten.
But her search takes an impossible turn when she crosses paths with a young Ethan Hunt, a rising IMF agent, years before she was ever meant to meet him. Torn between preserving the timeline and saving a man who has no idea who she is, Ilsa becomes entangled in a deadly conspiracy that spans across decades. Every decision she makes threatens to unravel the future she came from, and the love she never expected to find. As time fractures and loyalties collide, Ilsa must face the ultimate choice: return to her own era and the life she knew, or remain trapped in the past with the one person destined to remember her.

Summary
When a high-profile diplomat is assassinated at a global peace summit, the world teeters on the brink of war. The killer’s identity shocks the intelligence community, it appears to be Ilsa Faust, a former MI6 agent who vanished months earlier without a trace. Now labeled a traitor and hunted by every major agency, Ilsa is marked for death. But IMF operative Ethan Hunt doesn’t buy the story. Haunted by her disappearance and driven by a loyalty he can’t explain, Ethan defies orders to find her first, before the CIA does.
As the chase deepens, Ethan and his team uncover whispers of a rising threat, something vast, hidden, and terrifying in its implications. Fractures form within the team as secrets unravel and trust wears thin. Ilsa knows more than she’s letting on. And somewhere in the shadows, a dangerous force is watching them all. With time running out and global powers on the verge of collapse, Ethan must decide how much he’s willing to sacrifice to stop a threat he doesn’t yet understand, and to save the one person he’s not sure he ever truly had.
