beginning notes

hi angels! Just been super obsessed with “Sanctify” by Years & Years (title from there) so I thought I’d write a little something for valjackson since I haven’t written them in a WHILE

anyway I hope you enjoy <3 also I have not edited this at all. It’s pretty late here and I need to get to bed (yuck) so I’ll probably read through it tomorrow. You know the drill by now, if you see a mistake wish upon it

drug mention (there’s no actual drugs used but it is written like they’re high)

sexual activity (no actual sex but nsfw content still)

Ciara's Hot (Lukewarm) Takes

this one is who would propose to who for canon and non-canon ships:

1. Jercy: they pull out rings at the same time and laugh themselves silly before slipping them on each other's fingers. this mix-up is partially their friends fault because they confided in the same people and everyone thought it'd be hilarious to see.

2. Percabeth: Percy proposes because he is truly a romantic at heart. And Annabeth likes to joke about proposing first but she's always dreamed about the fairytale romance, "guy gets down on one knee and all that"

3. Jasper: Jason proposes in a fancy restaurant in a nice suit. He's a little stiff but he's got the spirit. Piper giggles, kisses his forehead and says yes.

4. Frazel: Hazel proposes everytime she finds a gem on the ground. She thinks it's hilarious. One day right after she proposes, yet again, this time with an emerald, Frank takes it from her, helps her up and then promptly gets down on one knee and proposes back.

5. Valjackson: Leo proposes. It is sudden and unexpected in its initiation but it is perfect. They wake up to each other one morning and he sees those green eyes and he just knows. "Will you marry me?" they go ring shopping together.

6. Pipabeth: Annabeth leaves a ring in a cupcake on pipers birthday. Piper takes the opportunity, face stuffed with cake, to kneel before her girlfriend, slide the ring out of her mouth and say "Annabeth Chase, I can't believe you bought your own engagement ring."

7. ValZhang: Frank proposes. Leo got injured doing something reckless again and it hits frank in the face how he can never lose him. He practices quietly in the infirmary bed, when he thinks Leo can't hear. Leo does and he's all cheeky when he says "I hope you don't plan on sounding so solemn throughout our marriage." Frank pinches his side and proposes properly and excitedly a few days later.

8. Jasabeth: Annabeth proposes. She's impatient and she just wants to marry him so she just does it. It thwarts all of Jason's plans (the reason he took so long) to take her to Rome and do it there but they have a celebratory vacation there instead.

9. McJackson: Piper proposes on April fools, the day of their all out prank war. Her plan is eloborate and executed to perfection. Percy accepts her ring but proposes again some time later because he doesn't quite know if she was serious and he'd rather be sure than sorry.

10. Leobeth: Leo makes the ring. He spends hours in the forges making it absolutely perfect. When it's done he cannot even wait, he just runs out, hair frizzy, grease smeared over his cheeks and he pulls Annabeth into a hug, kisses her forehead and says "Be mine?"

*multiple ships*

Jercy sports AU where Percy is a basketball player, Jason is a soccer (football) player. They meet at a sports awards show and both get Player of the Year awards in their fields. It's inevitable that they challenge each other to their pertaining sports and laugh hysterically at the attempts. Because their sports seasons are at different times in the year (don't come at me if they aren't in real life I don't give a shit about sports) they go to each others games and every goal/basket scored they point at each other and it's like the whole world narrows to that single moment. They are legendary in the sporting world. When they retire they open up a sports school and recruit fellow friends from other sporting professions. Annabeth is an Olympic gold medalist swimmer, Frank is unbelievable at tennis.

Valjackson childhood best friends AU where Percy's mom and Leo's mom were best friends their whole lives and therefore their children spent a lot of time together. Leo and Percy used to terrorize Sally's sweetshop and Esperanza's workshop. They learnt how to be the cutest troublemakers and could not be separated by the strongest forces in the world. They had girls falling all over them but neither was interested. Despite Percy being bi and Leo being pan. It seemed every relationship they tried to enter into didn't work out. There was always something missing. They realize what it is 2 months before they go to college. Percy gets accepted into one across the country and they both panic at the thought of being separated. They have a fallout and it is miserable for both of them. It takes some needling from their mothers, and giggles over coffee later, before they realize why they're so upset. They both storm our of their houses at the same time, just down the street from each other as it had been their whole lives, and slam together. "I don't want you to leave. I love you. I am in love with you Jackson." Percy chokes, tears blurring his pretty green eyes. "I know. I love you too. But we will see each other again. And I will come back. And we will be together." It seems the fates were on their side because although they didn't promise commitment to each other through the college years it felt unnatural to be with anyone else. So they stayed single, and met during the vacations and loved each other from a far. And when college was finally over they fell into each other so naturally it's as if they had never been separated. Now they live a few streets down from their mothers, who ended up moving in together as best friends who had wanted to do it all those years ago. Family dinners and full of cringy memories and soft looks. They were born already together. They die that way too.

Pipabeth coffee shop AU, where they both work at the cute Cafe on main Street. Piper is new and Annabeth, who is busy and impatient, has to show her the ropes. For the first two weeks they open up shop together. Annabeth is not a morning person. Piper most definitely is. They eventually fall in love in the break room and it is horrible how cute they are. The cafe patrons either give them filthy looks or coo. They're both university students when they meet. It takes them 3 years to get together. It takes them 2 to marry. Piper goes on to become a school teacher. Annabeth opens her own coffee shop. They still do the morning shift together.

Percabeth theater kids AU where percy is the shy accidental lead in the play because he was messing around in the auditorium of the school and the drama teacher heard him sing and demanded he sign ip for auditions. Annabeth is part of the tech crew and cannot help but be mesmerized everytime Percy is on stage. They learn of each other when Percy has a costume emergency during the first dress rehearsal and she's in the wings to help him about 30 seconds before he goes on stage. He gives her roses to thank her and it is the end. They're together from that moment on. Who knows if they last, they live on forevermore in the wings of the stage.

Valgrace teacher AU where Jason is the new history teacher at a high school and Leo, the maths teacher, takes great delight in having his student prank Jason's classroom on the daily. It is especially fun when the blonde comes storming in all red in his golden face and then immediately schools his expression into one of pointed calm when he sees Leo has students. It's always a clipped "Can I please talk to you Mr Valdez." Leo has never been able to hide his grin. One prank goes a little awhol though and Jason's classroom is a mess. Leo helps clean up after school and the tension of three months of back and forth turns electric in an instant. They become the couple the students giggle over. Jason refuses to partake in any affectionate activities during school hours. Leo takes it as a challenge to sneak as many forehead and cheek kisses in as possible. They spend their evenings grading papers and sipping tea. Leo eases his husband's glasses off his face and grabs a blanket before squishing himself onto the couch with Jason. They fall asleep like that many times a month. It never stops.

McJackson theme park workers AU where they challenge each other to the scariest Rollercoasters right after lunch and whoever throws up first has to do park rounds. They're at a tie but Percy is determined to win. So he challenges Piper to ride their two scariest rollers one after the other for half an hour. Piper who can never say no to a dare does it. She throws up so violently Percy has to take over her shift for three days. He brings her soup, and bland toast, and peppermint tea. She laughs at his doting and he mumbles apologies for the guilt of making her bedridden. He says he'll do any dare she asks, so she has some justice. She gives him a glittering smirk and says "any dare?" He should have known then he'd be in trouble but he nods anyway. "I dare you to kiss me." They've been happily terrorizing park guests ever since. And now they both go on terrible rides and get sick and egg each other on. And they are best friends with the added bonus of kissing each other thrown in. When Percy proposes it is so on brand for then their friends groan when they hear the recount. "I dare you to marry me." Piper has never been so happy to complete a dare in her life.

masterlist

non-descript, non-canon-compliant AU

Leo Valdez sighs as he stares at the gloomy weather taking over his Saturday. It seems that while winter is well and truly underway the sun would not be making an appearance, or at least it hadn’t for the last week. He looks back at the rough sketches he’s drawn for his practical assignment due after winter break and decides he’s worked hard enough for the day. Writing down measurements and ruling a few lines counted, right? He didn’t care. Heaving himself out of his chair he pulls up the socks that had slowly started slipping down and shoves his feet into his giant Yoda slippers that are truly a wonder and a disgrace in equal parts. His friends take turns wearing them and pretending to be everything from big foot to Yoda-crushers. He has a polaroid hall of fame behind his door.
