Percy always thought the most bewitching thing he could discover at Hogwarts was magic. Then he met Annabeth Chase.

(AU) 17 year-old Annabeth has never fawned over celebrities; the fact that her brother was one had made her immune. One hot summer in California changes everything with Luke's entire band and a whirlwind romance. But all things must come to an end, and although she promises herself she will move on, Percy has left her a little something to be delivered in 9 months...

Annabeth arrives in New York with no plans. After escaping an abusive relationship, the first thing she decides she needs is a job. She enters a diner and, on a whim, asks the owner for a job. The owner, Percy Jackson, hires her on the spot without knowing anything about her or her past. Percy finds himself wanting to know more about her, but she closes him off every time.

Annabeth is livid, and for once it's not at Percy. But he's still the only person who can solve it. Shameless smut. Percabeth. Some Son of Neptune spoilers I think? . Rated M for a reason.
