i think that if rick riordan hadnโt introduced piper and jason as a couple, people (at least i) would ship them more.
it would be a lot more fun and entertaining bc it would be โJason had an urge to protect Piper. He didn't know why.โ or things like hands touching, subtle stares, when jason hugs her waist when he flies, stuff like that yk
we would all freak out at the smallest romantic interactions between them
