okay okay oaiyq okay so
like sword exchange. but percy loves watching annabeth wield the drakon bone sword bc she’s hot and only riptide is balanced in his hand so the exchange of swords is more so just symbolic and annabeth keeps the drakon bone sword and percy keeps riptide HOWEVER riptide is owned by both of them now so she switches from percy’s pocket to annabeth’s pocket depending on who needs her more. the drakon bone sword gets knocked out of her hand mid fight but then riptide appears in her pocket and annabeth fights with her instead.
maybe even while she’s extended into sword form so percy will be fighting with her and then she just flies across the battlefield to annabeth who is holding her hand out thor style
uhhhh nothing more to this honestly just them sharing riptide LMAO
Percabeth wedding swords… but also I’m like half sure that Riptide was confirmed to be semi sentient?? Enough that Magnus’s talking sentient sword could understand her (bc apparently Riptide is a woman) and try to flirt with her?? Idk how semi sentient sword fits in but like she did watch Annabeth grow up with Percy so I feel like there’s some fondness
Mm so I assume they did like the sword symbolic exchange except Riptide takes it personally and now Annabeth finds a pen in her pocket when in danger. Which was probably startling to Percy who always had it on him. Magical pen of never losing and then bam it’s now with your wife. Which like wow what a symbol of your love but damn save some dramatics for the rest of us
Annabeth is just basking in the wonderful creation of hidden weapons in easily carriable forms nevermind the fact she doesn’t even have to keep track of it. (I hc that the Athena and Ares cabins are so jealous of Riptide simply bc how useful it is) Plus she now has bragging rights over her siblings and that’s the most important part
Other than that I imagine that Riptide doesn’t automatically switches forms when transferring to the other. Which is fine like 95% when it’s a pen but the 5% where they’re both fighting… at least they don’t have to uncap it? But Thor style is also really cool…mmm I can’t decide if I want comedy or coolness. Either way I feel like both of them with fiddle with it in pen form which leads to awkward redirection when it disappears out of nowhere. It could also be a warning on whether the other is in danger too. Which would cause a lot of panic when they expect the pen only to find it gone
Anyway on the cuter side, they could attach little stick notes on Riptide and it takes them along. Until Riptide gets tired of their crap lmao. Mmm it’s Zoe’s immortality too… Percabeth getting a shared dream where the ghost of Zoe is like “you damn lovebirds, I’m getting pings of tiredness from Riptide with all its teleporting! How tf you make a magical sword tired??”
This could also lead to funny interactions with Magnus and Sunbreaker (or at least I think that’s the name??) Like they meet up and get ambushed by monsters only for Riptide to disappear bc Sunbreaker kept flirting (Percy is like 3 seconds away or she would never)
“Magnus if I die because of your whore of a sword I’m coming back to haunt you”
“I can’t control what it says!?”
