We are investigating reports of errors when trying to load AO3, including errors saying that AO3 is down, which seem to be related to the previous incident. We will update when we have more information!

Repost if school has caused:

i love that percy and annabeth are best friends. they truly just have the best time together and trust each other and admire one another so much. throughout everything, their friendship remains incredibly strong. it’s a huge part of their dynamic. they are besties. buddies. pals. bffs. they are definitely kindred souls.

but them being “just friends” takes away from their stories a lot. they truly have one of my favorite fictional love stories of all time. it’s truly incredible what they’ve survived and accomplished together. and the fact that they are based off of rick and his wife makes it 10000x more meaningful. percy and annabeth have so chemistry between them and there’s so much attraction there. and throughout all the shit they go through, their biggest dream/hope/goal is to settle down and start a family together. how many times has percy said that all he wants is to grow old with annabeth and love her till the day he dies? (answer: a LOT) it’s canonically what keeps them going, and keeps them fighting to stay alive. so for me personally, taking that away fills me with immense sadness for them. saying they are better as “just friends” feels like saying i don’t want them to be happy. and that’s not fair to them

My contribution to the “show!percy fucking looks like will solace” identity crisis

“Hazel’s such an innocent little angel. She’s always nice and kind and confused.”

Hazel, who’s always ready to fight in the same way Percy is? Hazel, who made it explicitly clear she probably would’ve rocked Octavian’s shit had he not been blackmailing her? Who gets so angry on behalf of the people she loves, to the point where she doesn’t forgive those who have wronged them? Who Percy described as cursing up a storm in one of their first interactions? Who’s been shown time and time again to be FAST to anger? That Hazel?

Or Nico, who’s “a misunderstood emo. A small bean. Cute like a wet cat and innocent like a bunny.”

Nico, who’s cannonically described by most characters as “scary and unnerving?” Nico, who, for a long time, is one of the angriest characters in the series? Who’s only sassy and sarcastic because it took him FOUR YEARS to mellow out? Who’s described as being one of the most powerful demigods, who a lot of people still consider the scariest? Who’s come into his own as a character from TTC to TSATS? That Nico?

Or Annabeth who’s, “cold and calculating. Doesn’t show emotion or express herself”
