At the age of 13, Percy Jackson is forced to change himself by his stepfather, Gabe Ugliano, to hide his abuse in plain sight. Now, at the age of 17, Percy is the definition of a bad boy. But when his path crosses with Annabeth Chase's, will his true self be able to come out again? Or is it too far gone?

Annabeth and Percy used to be best friends. Emphasis on 'used to'. They stayed as far apart from each other as they could after their huge fallout and now... Well, she's his tutor. Annabeth is determined not to let him get close to her and keeps him at arm's length at all times possible, but Percy is just as determined to get his best friend back. Percabeth Mortal AU. Unknown Fan!

They were fated to meet yet bound to separate - that was how the Gods wrote their tragedy. She knew how their stories would end long before it started. But she was ready to go through that painful cycle over and over if it meant they'd meet again - under different worlds, different lives, different stories. After all, the Gods have blessed her with the power of different chances.
