    Summary

    Princess Zelda didn’t sleep. Link had tried everything he could think of to get her to rest. Sleep-inducing teas or elixirs, extra soft beds, extra firm beds, sleeping outside under the night sky, in a crowded inn, alone in his cottage, out by the sea with the calming sound of waves. But it appeared that the type of insomnia the princess suffered from was divinely stubborn. Rain or shine, cloudy or clear, she would always get up to sit cross-legged outside, leaning back on her arms, staring up at the sky until sunrise.

    Summary

    In nearly every way (except the most notable), the Princess of Hyrule was the Goddess incarnate. For that reason alone, it was a little ingenious for the King to offer up his daughter’s hand to whoever was able to pull the sword.

    Link hadn’t meant to pull the sword. He planned to watch as his comrades pulled with all their might, perhaps even tease a few about how it was all for the better that the sword didn’t budge, because surely no Princess could ever love their ugly mugs, and then get into a good old-fashioned wrestling match with their bruised egos after one too many jokes. But it hadn’t mattered what he had in mind; Link’s plans be damned. The Goddess had already plucked him out of obscurity and set him along Her own path.

    Summary

    There’s nothing between them, she’s sure. But the problem is that if the rumors don’t die down in time, her father will find out, and then he’ll take Link away from her, too, and then she’ll never—

    Zelda doesn’t want to think about that. She stares openly at him, as if challenging him to inquire. He meets her eyes frequently, never for too long, but always with the unspoken question: What are you looking at?

    You, she wants to say. She wants to say nothing at all. She wants Link to snap her out of this unbidden fantasy, to free her mind of its most recent craze. She needs him to. She needs him to shake her out of her thoughts or the next time he tries speaking to her she’ll jump him.

    “What’s wrong?” He asks finally.

    “The entire castle thinks we’re having sex,” Zelda blurts.

    Summary

    Annabeth is hyperactive and hyper-observant, and there’s something about the way Percy deflates when he thinks nobody’s watching that makes her wonder.

     

    She’s noticed things. The way he furrows his brows when praised or his wide eyes when anyone asks him to hang out or do anything besides spar. When he makes someone laugh, his eyes narrow like he’s trying to decide whether it’s with him or at him. The way his nose crinkles when he’s struggling through Homer and how he apologizes with a self-deprecating joke. How initially resistant he is to a hug or any comforting contact before he melts into it, whole body relaxing. Sometimes, when he’s lost in thought, he scratches at his collarbone—a scar she doesn’t know how he got. He has a lot of scars she doesn’t recognize, old ones.

    Or, Annabeth picks up on Percy's childhood, and makes sure he knows he's deserving of friendship. Set after the TLT quest but before SoM.

    Summary

    “You've caught me - I thoroughly exhausted myself last night,” he drawled, collapsing back down onto the pillows as though he could not hold himself up. “So much so that I cannot possibly be expected to rise,” he added dramatically, curling around Andromeda as the boy lifted a wavering, sarcastic hand to his brow.

    “All hail the conquering prince,” Stavros replied, rolling his eyes as he walked backwards across the stone. “Put on his back by a pretty girl.”

    “A most pleasant place to be,” he retorted, smirking. Throwing caution to the four winds, he let one hand creep down, under the blanket, across Andromeda's stomach, to cup the soft mound of short curls between her thighs. She sighed in her sleep, and he grinned, stroking his fingers lower. “You will understand it, one day.”

    -----------------------------------

    Perseus and Andromeda's first month together, in all its glittering possibility and wonder.
