drag me down with chains of letters

In which Annabeth meets Percy in the most unlikely of ways: through her own, written words. / An arching drabble-series made up of letters. / The first installment of the Skewed universe. / Modern AU. / No gods. / T to be safe.

Spongebob,

We're here in Queens, New York, almost twelve miles from where you live.

Twelve miles. That's not even the length of a full marathon (which is approximately 26 miles and 385 yards) and if I take the express, it should take me roughly half an hour or so to reach you.

We're so close, Percy. Maybe I can actually meet my best friend.

You're grinning and jumping around your room like a girl who just got a call from her crush. Quiet down, you. :)

I'm writing this on the back of one of my notes because I couldn't find any other paper. We're in a taxi on our way to our temproary hotel, and hopefully we'll move in by the end of the week.

My new address is below, so write me?

See you soon (hopefully,)

Annabeth

AN: Since I will be going on a retreat Friday-Monday, I'll try to post one or two more chapters than I usually do today and tomorrow (if I haven't left home by 4:00...)

So anyways, expect more to come in an hour or so.
