A/N: The fic is "Addicted To Mints" by Lacklustre, read that fic, it's a good one! Although strange. But good!

This is a rewrite. Kind of. I made a few minor changes that my friend suggested, which I hope helps the flow of the story.

Also I don't own anything.

Summary

Piper wants to show Jason something she found on the web, and he realizes that he has a ship, but it's not at all canon.

_._._

"JASON!" He heard Piper scream. His initial reaction was panic: was she hurt? Being attacked by monsters? Being captured by some evil force?

He raced to the praetor house and stopped in the bedroom, where he saw Piper. She wasn't dead. She wasn't almost dead. She was on her iPad, cross legged on her swivel chair, in sweatpants and one of his hoodies, just lounging around. There were no monsters, or strange abductors, or blood-spewing injuries. Just plain old Piper, who he loved.

He sighed. He should never have gotten that for her. He should have gotten her a less addictive birthday present, like a feather for her hair. But nooooo. He'd decided to go and buy her an Apple device.

He should be punished. But nevertheless, she did seem to find some interesting things, searching around on the internet.

"What is it?" He asked, running a hand through his short blonde hair.

"I've discovered the wonderful world of fanfiction!" She said, grabbing Jason by the hand as he came to stand beside her.

"You've found what?" Jason's face was as blank as a sheet of paper.

"Well, you know how books and movies and stuff have fans? Well," And she told him about fandoms, and fanfictions. He didn't want anything to do with it, ever, but if Piper liked it? Well, he'd keep looking. Maybe something would be worthwhile.

Piper tapped her iPad's screen a few times, and showed Jason what looked like an online library. "This is fanfiction. Think of a random word."

"Okay, ummm...mint." Jason threw out.

"Okay, let me search it!" Piper excitedly typed. She hit 'Enter', and a bunch of article-looking things came up. She scrolled to the bottom, which had some bars with arrows on the very right side of them.

"Wait, click on categories." Jason pointed to one of the options. They decided to read a Harry Potter fanfiction about Draco Malfoy and his obsession with the mints that Hermione Granger had.
After they'd finished reading the fanfic, Jason was more confused than ever.

"But Hermione and Draco aren't a couple in the books or the movies." He pointed out. "How would that story be possible?"

Piper rolled her eyes. Sometimes boys could be like that. She'd just have to explain it. "Well, fanfictions don't have to go with the original plot or ship." She went on to explain canon ships to Jason.

"But what if, like this story, the ship wasn't made up by the author, or the couple isn't actually together?" Jason asked.

"That's a non-canon ship. Sometimes the ships are impossible. You can really ship anyone with anyone, but it depends on the popularity of the ship that will make people read your story." Piper said.

"So say Person N likes Person P. But Person P and Person A have true love. You can still ship Person N and Person P?" Jason asked.

"Yep!" Piper nodded. "Wait-who are you talking about?"

"No one. Just-Just something I was wondering. It's no one we know." Jason felt himself sweating. She was a child of Aphrodite, she could help him... But he couldn't tell her. He felt himself backing out of the room. "I gotta go. To the bathroom. I'll see you in a minute. Or so."

"...okay?" Piper was giving him the one-eyebrow-up, 'you're-being-super-suspicious-I-hope-you-realize-that' look. He turned around and walked out the doorway pretty much as fast as he could. He needed to think about this.

Once outside, Jason grinned. He grinned so hard he thought perhaps he should smash his head into a wall to calm himself down, and had to prevent himself from breaking into giggles."I ship it." He whispered.
