#maybe nico stays the same in this au without a crush on the jackson child

[pastelskrulls]

percabeth yuri brain rot ahoy

au where everything is the same except poseidon and sally jackson have a daughter named ariadne (depending on the version u choose she got a happy ending with dionysus which is canon in the books) she probably goes by ari idk idk

anyways ari doesnt realize shes a lesbian, shes just like ‘oh yes my best friend annabeth who i have completely platonic feelings for’ and annabeth realizes shes bi but shes stuck in yearning hell not wanting to risk their friendship or creep ari out

most story beats would stay the same (tho titans curse would probably need a serious overhaul so good thing im not talking about that x) and they do still mess up circes island tho im not sure why yet, but in botl annabeth does NOT kiss ari, and only figures out after ari is missing that shes bi

(meanwhile on calypsos island ari is like ‘ohh sorry im not into girls like that’ and calypso is like yeah the gods always send heroes who cant love me)

anyways they dont get together after the last olympian, instead ari wakes up amnesiac in the woods with only the memory of annabeth and shes like ‘ohhh that must be my girlfriend’ and doesnt question it again

now this is my hc for just regular canon percy too that even after the gorgons blood the old memories and the new ones formed in the in between would get a little mixed up so the argo II arrives in new rome and annabeth runs up to ari to go in for a hug when ari just starts kissing her (annabeth is so shocked she forgets to even judoflip her) n e ways they make it official that night in the stables and that would make the rome date their first real date

#percy jackson #percabeth #annabeth chase #genderbend #percabeth yuri #jic i add something else to this au i want a tag #also dont ask me about nico i spent a solid 30 minutes thinking about it at work yesterday and i could not figure it out #cus i like the dynamic nico and percy have in canon especially regarding nico once percabeth fell into tartarus #but if i swap nico to a girl then its like why didnt she join the hunters #and i was like maybe shes trans and didnt realise she was a girl when she met the hunters the first time #but idk how that would affect the whole cupid thing #and idk whether nico in canon wouldve had the confidence and support to come out between ttc and hoh #i could see her being trans and bianca helping her in the time after leaving the lotus #but then i loop back to the same problem of the hunters #i dont even like nico this much idk why im thinking so much about this #another thing to consider would be the fact that shes from the 30s #i havent read the cupid scene in a while but i think i remember that being part of why nico struggled with his identity #so im not sure she would have that same issue if she were already out as a trans girl #ig it doesnt matter that much overall #maybe nico stays the same in this au without a crush on the jackson child #what i should really figure out is the circe thing #mywriting
