To All the (Girls) I Loved Before Clareyna AU

Reyna has had a handful of crushes throughout the years and when attempting to move on from each crush she writes them a letter with the intention of never sending them

When Hylla, Reyna’s older sister, is cleaning out Reyna’s closet for her she finds the box of letters and sends them out under the impression that she’s doing her sister a favor

(It’s not a favor)

Reyna is confronted by Clarisse, star of the rugby team and the first girl she ever kissed and wrote a letter to

Clarisse says she’s flattered but Reyna immediately realizes what has happened and internally freaks out

She then externally freaks out when she sees Piper McLean walking towards them, holding a letter of her own and calling out to Reyna

See, Reyna’s best friend Jason has been dating Piper since the beginning of high school; however, the two recently broke up because Jason got an offer to do an exchange program their senior year and Piper didn’t want to do long distance

Throughout the course of her best friends’ relationship, Reyna has harbored her own crush on Piper but kept quiet about it, hence the letter

Seeing Piper holding it in her hand makes Reyna panic and that causes her to launch herself at Clarisse, leading to the two of them kissing in the middle of gym class

Reyna apologizes and asks Clarisse to meet her after her rugby practice so that the two of them can talk

At lunch (which she thankfully doesn’t share with Piper) she is confronted by Annabeth, her friend that attended homecoming with her when she didn’t want to third wheel Piper and Jason and Percy had been invited to another school’s homecoming by a pretty girl named Calypso who frequented the park where Percy skated

It had been a very stressful time to be around Percy and Annabeth in a group

Individually though, they were very fun to hang out with, which is what led to Reyna forming a fleeting crush that only lasted a couple of days on Annabeth

When confronted with the letter Reyna explains the whole situation to both her and Percy (who can’t believe she made out with Clarisse in gym class)

Reyna explains that the other two letters were addressed to Thalia, Jason’s cool older sister who was taking a road trip across the country with a group of friends, and to Rachel, a cute artsy girl that Reyna met while being camp counselors together for a two week program

The rest of the day passes on and Reyna goes and watches the end of Clarisse’s practice while waiting for her to finish up

During this time Piper finally confronts Reyna about the letter and instead of telling the truth Reyna explains that it was written a long time ago and doesn’t matter because she’s dating Clarisse anyways

Piper kind of believes her but ultimately doesn’t press any further and heads on home after Reyna rejects her ride offer, stating that Clarisse is going to take her home

When practice is finally done Reyna explains the whole situation and apologizes for using Clarisse as a scapegoat

Clarisse laughs and thinks the whole thing is hilarious BUT is willing to fake date Reyna until the whole thing blows over

Reyna is suspicious about why she’s so eager to go with this and Clarisse explains that ever since her own long time crush/best friend Silena got a boyfriend, she’s been trying to set Clarisse up with girls so that they can go on double dates

So they agree to fake date in order to attempt to cool down the tension in their respective social lives

Alright that’s all I got for right now but I might add more to this......we will see. For @pjofemslashweek and my own enjoyment lmao

i was thinking of the comedic possibilites that @charlesbeckendorf brought up so heres some clareyna content

the funny thing is - reyna was late. fundamentally, she did not get along with the concept of being late to things, but since she’d just finished traveling across half the planet via shadow travel, fought a giant, and helped finish a war she figured she was allowed to take her time a bit when it came to packing up and heading home. 

what piper had said about camp half blood having it’s doors open if she wanted a break...reyna was thinking about it. she loved new rome and with her history she didn’t know what living in simple peace might be like. while camp half blood wasn’t the mortal world, it was far less strict than the legion. besides, she’d had to deal with the majority of the people who put her in the position of praetor try to toss her aside when octavian promised blood.

reyna wasn’t sure what it would be like returning to new rome. so maybe she was dragging her feet a bit. she was walking through the camps to meet the waiting romans when she ran into clarisse. 

during the battle reyna had seen clarisse fight, she was truly very talented with her spear and. well, piper’s conversation had reyna’s brain turning. in the light and day away from a battle, clarisse was still as beautiful as she had been taking down monsters. she felt she could maybe be excused for tripping into a beautiful girl. 

“hey,” clarisse said, helping reyna back onto her feet. reyna brushed her hand against clarisse’s arms and swallowed at the feeling of hard muscle. “you okay there?”

reyna nodded, smiling up at clarisse, “oh of course, thank you so much for helping me back up.”

clarisse blinked at her, “uh yeah, no problem. aren’t the romans clearing out right now?”

“oh yeah, but they can wait a bit,” reyna said, taking another step closer to clarisse. “what’s your name? i’m reyna.”

“uh, i’m clarisse. you’re the leader of the romans, right? i don’t think they can leave without you.”

“well, i think they can wait a bit longer, so clarisse i saw you destroy that cyclops a few days ago. really impressive stuff, i could’ve mistaken you for a roman.” reyna reached out for clarisse’s hand, and threaded their fingers together. 

that, apparently, was the right thing to say because clariess lights up. “oh yeah! hedge was telling me about how you took no prisoners and shit when you were in puerto rico with the hunters and the amazons...and he told me about how you wore topical shirts for half the trip.” then, clarisse pauses as if she’s thinking about something very seriously. 

clarisse started to smile back at her, “well daughter of ares and everything. i’m kinda good at wars. really though, the whole athena parthenos thing is way more impressive.”

"i had help from nico and coach hedge though," reyna admits.

reyna’s never needed the spotlight, but she can’t say she doesn’t appreciate it right now. “it was cool i guess, coach hedge and nico were great.”

“so, um. tropical shirts for both you and death boy,”“ clarisse is blushing now and reyna thinks this is one of the popular media things she misses out on when running an army. but, she’s willing to run with it blindfolded for as long as she can to see where it goes. 

“yeah,” reyna says with a wink. clarisse blinks wildly at that. “it really grew on me, i’m thinking about getting one that wasn’t stolen from a tourist trap.”

clarisse smiles slowly, “cute.”

reyna titls her head and smiles back, squeezing clarisse’s hand. “you think so?”

well,” clarisse says. “you’re beautiful, actually. but, you probably know that.” 

oh. reyna’s never quite known what people said when they talked about butterflies in their stomachs but, clarisse’s smile and honest expression when she calls her beautiful? reyna suddenly understands what the big deal about liking someone is. “not as handsome as you,” reyna tells clarisse, it’s the easiest thing in the world to say because it’s true. 

clarisse bites her lip and nods, “can i iris message you when you head back to your fancy roman city? it’s a big distance and all, but i do have a fancy flying chariot i can visit in.”

“yeah,” reyna says softly. “i’d like that a lot.”

clarisse starts to lean down and reyna feels hot because she thinks clarisse is going to-

“reyna!” comes frank’s voice, all the way over by the tree on the hill. “what are you doing? you’re like half an hour late. you're never late.”

reyna takes a deep breath and summons up all the patience she’s had to learn from being a praetor and shouts back at the top of her lungs, “frank zhang give me two minutes!”

frank makes some sort of hand gesture, maybe a thumbs up, before disapearring back below the hill. reyna sighs and turns back to clarisse, who’s let go of her hand. the taller girl looks a little awkward and reyna frowns at that, awkward doesn’t fit clarisee quite right. 

she leans up on her toes and kisses clarisse’s cheek gently, “don’t forget to iris message me, okay? i don’t know how to send them myself yet.”

clarisse’s hand lifts up to tuch her cheek and she looks at reyna with such a soft look in her eyes and reyna feels like her bodies on fire. “yeah,” clarisse says. “you better be waiting by the line.”

reyna smiles at her again and then she goes to rejoin the rest of the legion, but before she runs off to make sure they haven’t tried to mutiny again she gives clarisse a long slow look over and winks. clarisse stutters after her and reyna thinks that this is maybe the best way this could’ve all ended. maybe she'll try to be late more often.
