Author's Note:
On the last day of Fic-mas, justapercyjacksonfan gives to you: Demigods playing Among Us at the request of Guest I Guess (it only seems fitting that my most loyal reviewer have suggested the last chapter of FIc-mas)
We're just gonna pretend that demigods can use technology fine, yes? (also, I put the colors everyone is playing in the bottom A/N, but it also reveals the impostors, so look if you like)
Cheers!

That's pretty sus
At first, they had tried to play Among us in person. That hadn't worked out, because of the tendency for the impostor to get something thrown at them whenever they made a kill. Besides, it was much easier considering they were dispersed all over the country.
"Alright, who took my color?" Percy asked
"Sorry!" Piper replied. "As soon as Jason gives me blue back, you can have your color."
There was some more grumbling, but eventually Jason was back in his usual green, allowing Piper to reclaim blue and Percy to sport the pink spacesuit.
"What map are we playing?" Reyna asked
"Usual. The Skeld. Umm...there's three short tasks, one long, two common. That good?" Annabeth answered
"Yeah. Are visuals on?"
"Nope."
"Oh, come on." Leo said. "They can't be off, it's the only way I don't get sussed out!"
"It's more fun with them off." Frank said. "Can we start?"
"Wait, I want to be yellow!"
"You would." Nico said.
"And what does that mean, dear brother?"
"That you're the embodiment of human sunshine, Hazel."
"Oh. Oh that's actually really sweet. I'm ready now."
Annabeth started the game, and they all dispersed from cafeteria. The little cyan bean that was Annabeth ran into Admin and did card swipe. She saw Nico and Reyna there as well, but they ran out before Leo came and did card swipe also. Eventually, she got it. Unfortunately, lights went out, so she braved the death trap that was electrical, Leo running after her.
When she ran in, she found Piper, Jason, Hazel, Nico, and Percy all stacked on the lights panel but for some reason, the lights were still out, so she hopped on too. Great, someone in the stack was messing with them. As they all fiddled with the switches, a dead body was reported. Blue - wait, but Piper was with them! It was a stack kill.
"Right." Percy started the meeting. "This was a stack kill. On lights."
"Leo's kinda sus." Annabeth offered. "He was taking forever on card swipe and he was in the stack."
"Hermana, I did no such thing, and now I'm sus of you for sussing me! I have weapons!"
"Visuals are off." Nico reminded him. "Anyway, I don't think this was Leo, someone was messing the lights up way before he got there."
"Well, I wasn't on the stack, so I think I'm clear for this kill." Reyna offered.
"Neither was I." Frank said
"So, I guess we're just being sus of the entire group of us?" Jason asked.
"Skip I guess." Annabeth responded.
The vote passed. No one was thrown into space.
This time, Annabeth and Percy went down into storage together to fill gas can, before running to upper engine together. As they passed, Annabeth noticed that Frank was in cams. She and Percy went back to storage to refuel for the lower engine, noticing Leo passing through from the north before heading towards communications.
After lower engine, Percy ran back the way they came, while Annabeth continued up to unlock manifolds in reactor. What she saw instead were a set of closed doors to security. Curious, she waited for them to open, and was rewarded with Frank's dead body on cams.
As they were called into the meeting, she noticed that Jason was also dead.
"Frank's body was on cams, it couldn't have been-"
"Shh sh sh sh shhhhhhh, Annabeth. We don't care about that right now." Leo interrupted
"That's a little sus."
"No it's not. Nico, you did just see what I saw?"
"Yup. What do you have to say for yourself, Hazel?"
"Nothing, because I'm innocent."
"Innocent people don't kill Jason in nav, Hazel."
"You saw the kill happen?" Reyna asked
"Big time." Leo replied. "Nico did too, so I feel pretty confident in throwing Miss Sunshine right off the ship."
"No! It's not me!" Hazel squeaked.
"So where were you, if you weren't killing Jason in nav?" Percy asked
There was a short silence. "Don't vote on seven, right?"
"Hazel, that only works if we didn't see you kill." Nico said. His icon popped up that he had voted, followed shortly by Leo's."
"Wait! Don't vote me out! Leo's sus, right Annabeth?"
"Look, Hazel, I'm sure you're guilty. I'm just wondering if this was a failed double kill."
"What?" Percy asked.
"Hazel killed Jason in a group of four is what it's sounding like. I'm thinking Leo was supposed to kill Nico, but Nico got the report off beforehand." She voted for Hazel.
"Great, now I'm paranoid." Nico muttered
"Weren't you before?" Percy asked.
"Well, not in the game!"
When everyone had voted, all but one were for Hazel. The text went across the screen after her dead body, 'Hazel was ejected.'
Annabeth spent some time in Shields before heading to wires in storage, and then did wires in cafeteria, and was about to do wires in nav when a meeting was called. There was eerily no one around, and she was about thinking that when she was done she would head to the button when someone else was reported
"I saw Percy's dead body on cams, just outside of medbay and - okay, Nico's dead too." Reyna said. "Anyway, I don't know what's up with that, but both of you were on the stack at the beginning, so you're both sus af."
"What? Reyna, what about last round, there's no way I could have done either of the kills, I was with Percy basically the whole time, and then you have Mister Sus over here with his failed double kill!"
"This is why I hate playing without visuals, because I did my tasks like a good boy, I did weapons! And then I went back to electrical to do my last few tasks."
"You could have vented into Medbay and killed Percy then." Reyna said.
"Exactly, Reyna!" Annabeth insisted. "Vote Leo."
Annabeth did, and a moment later, Reyna did as well.
"Wow. Well, good job impostor." Leo voted, and he was thrown off the ship.
Annabeth's smug look faded as the screen in front of her declared, 'Defeat.' "What? Reyna how, you were so not sus!"
"Hazel got the stack kill, but I took care of Frank in security, venting in and out. And while you and Leo were both right side, I got Nico in Reactor, and my kill cooldown just reset by the time Percy was coming around to discover him. Also, you and Leo are super easy to play off of each other. It's kinda embarrassing, wisdom daughter."
"I think we're missing the important part here?" Hazel said. "I finally won as impostor!"
They all laughed. "Good job, Hazel." they chorused.
"But I'm gonna kill you next time I get impostor."
Author's Note:
Shout-outs today start out with one for you. Yes, I'm talking to you! For being such an amazing reader all throughout Fic-mas! I love and cherish each and every one of you. I'm hugging you right now, can you feel it?
Today is the very last one-shot of Fic-mas. I'll be back in early January, but I probably will only update two or three times next month, because I have things like finals, and a lot of writing for my poor neglected manuscript that I've been ignoring for the sake of Fic-mas
Thank you omar234ytz for following and favoriting this fic!
(Also, 150 reviews? You guys are too nice to me!)
Fairyn - Do you think Octavian had a blue panda that he cut to pieces? I think he must have.
propheciesandbluecookies - that was le goal! Thank you for validating that I accomplished that!
LilBumkin - well, not disappear disappear, but I won't be updating everyday unless I do Fic-mas again next year. I probably will, I had fun doing this. Same to you, have a happy holidays!
Guest I Guess - I care about you! And also, like it's not really late where I am when I update? Anyway, have a safe and wonderful Christmas, and spend it with your family, and not with my one-shots, please and thank you.
To be fair to Connor, no one is happy in the middle of night.
That's the thing. It's not a canon pairing, it's complete fanon. They argue a lot in canon, and a lot of people thought it was cute, and to be fair, much less has sparked ships. Their fanfic dynamics are pretty cute, all things considered, and if you ever want to find a well written Tratie fic, I'd recommend, This is why I hate jewelry by IAmTheUltimateFangirl. I find it uses the dynamics well and cultivates a compelling arc if you're wondering why we like Tratie.
If I'm being perfectly honest, I wish all three of the golden trio had remained friends and that they got separate love interests, like Harry did with Ginny. It would have helped reinforce that their bond comes from a place of friendship and not a desire to face-smoosh, and that their friendship was stronger than adversity, because there is a criminal lack of guy/girl friendships that stay friendships. Now, I do like the idea that Hermione and Ron dated, but I would have liked them to decide that it wasn't a dynamic that worked for them, and mutually decide that being friends was much better. In the end, I just really think Ron and Hermione should have gotten married.
