Jason: uh... I'm not sure if I know how to talk about it, but I guess I want to try?..

Jason: so... something happened... and now I'm not so sure anymore that I'm straight?..

Nico and Reyna: *exchange knowing glances*

Nico: something, huh?

Reyna: more like someone.

Nico, sighing: and we all know who it is.

We have Percabeth post HOO, post Tartarus. Percy is feeling depressed and isolated. His once strong relationships like with Rachel, Grover and Nico feel distant. Annabeth's friends think he's a loser. Things with Annabeth feel tense after Akyls, and he feels lost about where he is heading in life.

Then he and Annabeth (or maybe just Percy alone) start having these dreams at night...

The first dream...he and Rachel were together. Having a picnic in Central Park. Like his first date with Annabeth. But whereas Annabeth was disappointed and wanted more, Rachel was elated. He watched Rachel offer to take him on a boat trip for their anniversary and wondered why Annabeth never planned any special dates for him.

The second dream...he and Calypso were on the island. Them lying on the sand under the stars, murmuring about the constellations. Percy telling her everything about the modern world while she regaled with tales of old. Percy teaching her how to bake blue food and Calypso patiently teaching him how to plant. His greatest what if. A life away from the demands of gods. Percy longed for that kind of peace and gentleness with Annabeth.

The third dream...he and Reyna ruled Camp Jupiter together as co-praetors. They looked at each other with tremendous mutual respect. Reyna was strong without being frightening; the other Percy never worried that her anger would lead to physical blows. Reyna and him bearing the weight of leadership together as equals. Them sharing their vulnerabilities in the quiet of their office, holding each other up. Percy wondered when he ever confided his deepest fears and hurts to Annabeth...why was he always the emotional support?

The fourth dream...Percy's eyes widened to see him and Nico. In Tartarus. Percy choking Akyls, the haunting fear turned rage making his eyes glow poisonous green. Nico crawling over, his own broken eyes barely holding together, and hugging Percy. Nico telling him they're safe now, he would be with Percy in the dark, that he loves him. Percy sobbing ugly tears and Nico holding him like a lifeline. Nico cracking a weak joke about Percy having way too many powers and Percy laughing uncontrollably, crying again but with less pain. This was so unfair. So unfair that Percy's wise girl saw him as an unnatural freak of nature to be restrained.

ik people have done this before (i think) and i wanted to get my opinion out there)

percabeth: um. what can i say. no? it's like overrated as hell and pretty toxic imo. but it's fairly legal so if you ship it i really do not gaf. 4/10

perachel: YESSS. MY BABIES. MY CHILDREN. I LOVE THEM. SUCH A COOL DYNAMIC. SO MUCH POTENTIAL. LIKE THEY'RE THE DOORS TO REACH OTHERS WORLDS??? AAAAA!! 10/10

percico: not my cup of tea personally but i can see it. it's very angsty. that's all i can say about it. better than percabeth, but i still don't ship it. 6/10.

jercy: ohhhhh i love this one. they should've fallen into tartarus. they make me sad. in a good way. but still so, so sad. 9/10

pereyna: i can see it, but i don't really get it, y'know? in terms of general shipping material, i can only rly see it as platonic :/ no hate to the shippers it's perfectly legal. 5/10

lukercy: uh. no? if you ship it, that's certainly a decision, but i will not come for you. it's a fundamentally very sad ship. 4/10

perpollo: ok. um. i don't like this ship. i never saw the potential, yk? i've always felt a bit iffy about god/demigod ships, but you do you ig. 4/10

perleo: i can see it, but more platonically than romantically. they'd actually be the most annoying couple ever though. 6.5/10

those are all the ones i can think of so ye
