I realised I have never drawn Percabeth alone, so here they are!

Scene from my smartwatermagic fic absinthe

Perseus ushered them both to the table, pulling the chairs for them. Annabeth snorted, untying his 'Fish the Cook' apron before Perseus dived in for a kiss.

Alabaster is enjoying the pancakes (and the view) from out of frame <3

Percy "Bioluminescent" Jackson

Annabeth "Glowy Owl Eyes" Chase

Alabaster "Walking Magic Beacon" Torrington

What I'm trying to say is they don't need nightlights, they are the nightlights.

"This habit of overworking yourself has got to stop, Al," Annabeth chides. Is he fatigued? Are his eyes starting to cross and dry, the shapes created by the low light in his makeshift library stacking in hazy silhouettes on each other? Did his back feel a shrimp cooked to stiffly curling perfection? Yes to all those questions; but for the sake of his pride, he digs his fingers into the notebook. "Coming from Annabeth Chase, of all people," he sulks. "As though you didn't entirely reconstruct Olympus at your own expense and on your own time when you were sixteen." The candlelight crosses Annabeth's eyes, and it makes them all the brighter when they flare in surprise. "What?" Alabaster says, feeling defensive. She takes a while to respond. "Percy said you could be petulant. Like a spoiled kid." His jaw drops. "I am not!" "You aren't," Annabeth agrees, sudden laughter leaking into her voice. "Except when you're in front of Percy. And me, I guess."

Honestly funny how in basically no Al ships does the person’s parent(s) like Al and will continue threatening or manipulating him

#Ethabaster? Al is basically hubris incarnate Nemesis is attempting to kill him on the spot #smartwatermagic has poseidon and Athena both think Al is tryna indoctrinate Percy and Annabeth #same with chrisbaster #torringrace has not only Zeus/Jupiter hating Al but also the entire legion #the only one i can think of that doesn't have this would be Nicobaster #Nicobaster household wins again i believe #Not tagging all these ships #alabaster torrington #alabaster c torrington

Percy: *sigh* I still can't forget that dream I had after I learnt my mom was having Estelle. All the Olympians were pregnant. Pretty sure Apollo was having twins.

Alabaster: ...Hey, uhh, Perseus? When did you said your mom met your dad again?

Percy: Oh they had only been together for a summer.

Annabeth: And you were born in August?

Percy: Yes??

*Annabaster sharing a glance*

Alabaster: I don't bother to read the myths of the Olympians. Annabeth, was Poseidon the god of seahorses?

Just Percy getting crushed under the guilt of scaring Annabeth that one time with the poison-bending and how it's still affecting her, feeling relieved that at least one of his partners isn't terrified because of him, and he knows this because Alabaster did not hesitate to go for his head with a knife on their first meeting, only to learn Alabaster still has nightmares about the explosion of Princess Andromeda.

#does percy regret blowing up pa? no kronos would have won otherwise #does he regret that stunt with achlys? no he and annabeth would be dead otherwise #does he feel like shit and that he's just scaring the people he loves? yeah #pjo #alabaster torrington #annabeth chase #percy jackson #percalabeth #percabeth #percybaster #smartwatermagic #pjo headcanon #hoo

Percy: Why do I feel like Mrs. O’Leary likes you two more than me?

Annabeth "played fetch with Cerberus" Chase and Alabaster "dogs are Hecate's sacred animals" Torrington: ...who wouldn't?

Alabaster, bleeding on the floor: I'll– I'll get you next time, Perseus >:(

Percy: Sure you will. Do you have any set day for it or—

*Later, in Sally's place*

Percy: We got a date with Al!

Annabeth: YES :D

I just find it funny how any interaction between Poseidon, Hecate and Athena in smartwatermagic context in my mind always ends up with undertones of all of them thinking "I am a better parent than the other two" without fail

#pjo #athena pjo #poseidon pjo #hecate pjo #alabaster torrington #percy jackson #annabeth chase #<- bc this is about their relationship with their godly parents #smartwatermagic #percalabeth #poseidon: I do not base my interactions with my son on a basis of how proud he makes me #<- only claimed percy out of desparation #athena: my daughter has never failed me unlike certain people (released typhon/got the rest of his siblings killed) #<- disowned said daughter #hecate: my son actually talks to me out of his own volition. #poseidon: ... #athena: ... #<- her children fight to death and kill eachother just so they can call themselves the strongest *for centuries* #THIS IS VERY MUCH OF A JOKE POST BTW PLS DON'T COME FOR ME #Just pjo godly parents being godly parents ok

Alabaster, currently getting cuddled: You're both awful and I hate you and just you wait until I get my revenge on you Perseus—

Annabeth: Percy, add one more drachma to the "Murder Threats" jar.

Percy: I don't know, that seemed more like an "I love you" to me.

Annabeth: Sorted by location.

Annabeth: ...

Percy: ..why are you two playing rocks papers scissors on "who's going to tell me"? Tell me what??

I kinda wanna know about the shared trauma Annabeth and Alabaster both have from Luke and how they deal with it? How does Percy deal with them going completely insane just thinking about it? Does Annabeth ever realize she was used by Luke too (I feel like in a way she was)? I just kind of wanted you to explore this a bit more.

Ohohohoho -> you can hear me wringing my hands and cackling if you squint lol. This is going to get long so buckle up folks, I am breaking out the "•" format again

(CW:suicide mention, it's about Luke's death)

It's very important to start that the love was there. Luke loved them, they were his little siblings. It didn't change anything. It didn't stop the hurt. Perhaps it made it worse. But it's very important that the love was there.

Percabeth didn't talk about Luke after Manhattan, not really. That off-hand comment about his flying shoes in Cotg was the first time either of them mentioned him out-loud.

It's Alabaster coming into their life that opened up that baggage along with several more they were happy to ignore until it eventually burst.

I think it would be good for both of them when they come to the realisation that Luke wasn't evil and he wasn't a can-do-no-wrong-hero either. (He is still the hero of the prophecy of course but yeah, you all get it)

He was just a traumatised kid who grew into a traumatised young adult and caused the deaths and traumas of dozens of other kids whether he wanted to or not.

Just Annabeth realising she was the same age as when Luke took her in when she took the sky from him. Just Annabeth having a talk with Thalia, learning about Halycon Green, and how Luke changed after that, and how he again changed after that visit to May and the confrontation with Hermes. How he seemed to intentionally provoke and go after monsters. Just Annabeth mourning the loss of her dagger and her family. Luke has been dead from the start. Thalia will never be the cool 12 year old that took her under her wing again. Annabeth will out-age and Thalia will out-live both of them.

Just Alabaster realising hey, maybe Luke wasn't this almost god-like being he idolised. That maybe Luke himself didn't believe in half the things he promised. That maybe it shouldn't have been his, a 14 year old's, job to coax out a drunk Luke from the corner of Othrys he backed himself to. That maybe he wasn't wrong to think that he was used as an emotional replacement for Annabeth.

If Alabaster spared a drachma for every time Luke called him Annabeth— well no matter. He was dead now. (He would do anything to hear Luke's voice again, even if that was by being called Annabeth.)

But Luke didn't only hurt them, did he? Like I said he was their big brother. Just the memories of Annabeth staying up full night with Luke, him shielding her from the cold and the harpies as they sat on Thalia's branches. Just Luke protecting Alabaster from bullies who thought picking on the weird scrawny minor god kid no. 1263 would be fun. Luke who saw a little seven year old and took her in, promised family and tried to protect her to his best. Luke who killed himself for her. Luke who tried to maintain the familiy bonds he had with these children that followed him to the Titan army. Luke who tried to keep Alabaster away from Kronos as much as possible, and yet still promoted him to his second in command anyways.

Does that make up for the hurt? Does it matter he loved them if he intentionally or not got them in the middle of the crossfire? That's for Annabaster to decide.

They do miss him though. Once the gates open they can't stop the incoming emotional flood. Sometimes they curse him out, sometimes they cry after him, sometimes they sit in silence of their overwhelming feelings. Sometimes... well, Percy doesn't know, but it's better than Luke being a constant topic of their relationship arguments he guesses.

And it's the way Alabaster still talks like he's trying to imitate Luke: half successful silver tongue, laced with magic and the passion Luke used to have at the very start of the war. It's the way Annabeth paces around like Luke did when he was stressed, all lost in thoughts at picking at her elbows. It's the way all three of them are bone tired, and world weary and if they look at the mirror they just see Luke Luke Luke—

Some nights, when none of them can sleep, under the soft light of the moon and a cozy blanket, with hot drinks in their hands and kisses shared they talk about just how easy it would be to stage Olympus's downfall, how fast, how it would hit them before they can even suspect a thing... All hypothetical certainly, just whispers between lovers.

And Percy. He doesn't even have half the memories his partners have with Luke. But three of what he has stick out the most: Luke teaching him sword-fighting, him siccing a scorpion on little 12 year old Percy with no hesitation and him making him promise to not let things happen this way again as he bled out to death in his lap.

Olympians may have not went through their promise. Percy sure does intend to keep his own one though, gods be damned.

He'll just settle for being there for his partners for however long they grieve, though.
