AU where Percy and Annabeth are professional sports players and they have this huge rivalry and are always trying to one up each other.
Youâre either Team Jackson or Team Chase no in between.
You sometimes get the occasional âoh they would be cute togetherâ person who knows nothing of sports but they are immediately shut down by actual fans
Everyone is absolutely convinced Percy and Annabeth hate each other because Jackson and Chase are always at it whenever they play, roasting, embarrassing, pranking, annoying each other, etc
On a completely ~unrelated~ note (wink wink), one night on a talk show, the host asks Percy how he feels about all the fangirls that constantly drool over him (because letâs be honest this is PERCY weâre talking about) and he casually replies with âlol im taken thoâ
The internet explodes.
Everyone is trying to find out who the lucky girl is and in every interview people ask Annabeth if she knows who it is, which she replies with âI really wish Jackson just shut his idiotic mouth for once in his life and didnât reveal that, Iâm sick of always getting this question. But if it will finally calm you down, yes. I do know her. Sheâs cool.â With a smirk at the end
The hype still doesnât die down with all the theories flying around left and right on who the mystery girl is, and even fans claiming to be her
Percy immediately shuts them up with comments or replies like âOh then whoâs the girl snuggling next to me right now, I wonder?â
He also keeps everyone updated on his twitter like âguys my girl canât bake cookies for shit but I love her sheâs so preciousâ or âI just convinced her to watch Finding Nemo for movie night instead of Titanic. Guess whoâs probably not getting laid tonightâ
And that is when a certain hardcore Annabeth Chase stan remembers a super old interview when Chase was just getting started on her career where she answered âI dunno, probably Titanic or somethingâ for the question âWhat would be your go to for movie night?â
Most people think itâs a coincidence because of the whole Jackson-Chase rivalry thing, but the long sunk cursed ship called âpercabethâ starts to set sail again
At first, itâs a joke. Fans that think shipping two random people together is a personality write fanfics of it
Then, it slowly evolves and more people start getting behind it. Not as a âOh I KNOW theyâre realâ thing, but more as a âTop 10 Couples We Wish Were Realâ on WatchMojo type thing
Interviewers and start asking about how the two feel about the ship and if it has any affect on Percy and his still anonymous girlfriendâs relationship
The two always end up bursting into laughter at these questions (which turns into a âstop copying meâ âYOU stop copying meâ match) while their teammates have no idea how to respond
One day, completely randomly, Percy posts a photo on his Instagram
Its one picture of a girlâs hand holding his, the most beautiful engagement ring on her finger, with the caption âYo Jason whereâs my 50 bucks.â
The entire internet explodes part 2.
People are inspecting every inch of the picture to see if they can somehow match the hand with literally anyone
Absolutely everyone is talking about it. #MysteryMrsJackson is trending on every social media base
And finally, Percy and Annabeth appear together on a show after going MIA for a while. The convo went someway or another as followed:
Host: Please welcome Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase! How are you two today?
Percy: Doin good, doin good, keepin it lit :)
Annabeth: pls shut up for 2 seconds literally how are you engagedâ
Host: Ahaha yes, about that, your entire team just kind of disappeared after the engagement post! This is the first time youâre making an appearance in a while! Where were you? We missed you guys! We may or may not have assumed you all died or got abducted; there are a couple theories. Are you all officially back now?
Percy: Indeed we are. We needed some time away for a while because we were trying to decide whether or not to announce something
Host: Oh? And what would that be about?
Percy: It would be about an update on the love of my life
Host: Ohoho yes, how is the Mrs? And whatâs the big announcement? Oh Iâm just exploding with questions!
Percy: For starters, sheâs doing good last I checked, right Beth?
Annabeth: Sheâs doing good yeah... you know... considering
Host: Considering? Considering what?
Percy: Letâs just say you all might see a mini Jackson in the future
Everyone was quiet for a second.
Cue another round of internet explosion and screaming fans
Host: Pregnant! Wow I canât believe it! Congratulations Percy! Wait... but does this mean we might not be seeing you in the next few seasons? Or ever?
Percy: God no, I canât imagine never playing again. I might miss a couple of games here and there but Percy is here to stay, at least for now
Host: Oh good, well at least weâll have our Miss Chase ruling out there to keep our minds off missing Percy too much
Annabeth: Actually... two things about that Iâd like to correct. First, I regret to inform you all that Iâll be missing in action even more than Percy
Host: Oh no... could I ask why?
Annabeth: I was just getting to that. The second thing, itâs not Miss Chase anymore.
She put one hand over her stomach and held out the other, showing the crowd and the cameras the most envied ring of the year resting right there on her fourth finger.
