pjo fic idea: percabeth and all the myth archetypes they live through, over and over again

they're walking in manhattan and they have to be careful that annabeth stays ahead because they've been warned about percy looking back to her following him (orpheus and eurydice)

percy walks by the climbing wall while annabeth is trying to beat the camp record and her wrist gets caught in a harness and she swings to face out like she's been tied to the rock face (as an offering to the kraken) (perseus and andromeda)

percy keeps getting lost in hallways (despite having a decent memory for where he's been) and has to wait for annabeth to lead him out (theseus and ariadne)

they've been warned not to play frisbee around each other (apollo and hyacinth)

when they're asleep in bed at 2 am and percy mumbles something hurts, half-conscious annabeth pulls out her phone flashlight to examine his bruise, and the phone falls on his shoulder and somehow burns him (eros and psyche)

chiron, only half-joking, tells them to avoid planting things together (jason and medea)

annabeth somehow manages to rip her shirt on a doorknob while percy's at the store and only realizes what happened when he walks through the door (two hours late because of traffic) and she realizes she's weaving trying to sew the hole closed (odysseus and penelope)

"aren't you sick of it?" mumbles annabeth, one evening, when they're sitting on the couch. "why can't we just get our own story?"

"i wish i could tell you," says percy, kissing her hair and smelling laurel leaves
