Hey, guys. I've desided to try something knew. I guess you could call this a whole bunch of one-shot love scenes, but I'm not sure. Okay, after checking up on my notes, I'd say they are. Now, you may see some OCxOC, but the majority will be couples we all know like the famous Percabeth, the equally famous amongst fanfictioners, Tratie. others include Gruniper, Jasper, Jayna, Leyna, Thuke, Frazel, Beckelena, Chris x Clarisse, Will x Nyssa, Gwen x Dakota, and Poseidon x Sally Jackson.

I will take requests.

And I do not own anything that matches something from PJO, HOO and Rick Riordan.

The first one is on Percabeth


Little Wonders

When Annabeth, the kid from the video scroll (Leo he said his name was), some girl that could only have been the voice called Piper and a blonde boy wearing a toga and a purple cloak that, judging by the Romans reactions, was obviously Jason Grace climbed down the ladder that led up to the Greek warship, things didn't go exactly as planned.

Okay, yes, the Romans were a little shocked at seeing their missing praetor and yes everyone was suspicious of everyone else. That was to be expected. But the tension was so thick you could cut it with a butcher's knife. Octavian looked murderous. And Terminus was keeping a very close watch on them despite what had gone down on the ship. Next to that Jason obviously didn't like the idea of Percy taking his place as Praetor.

It was a rocky start, you have to admit, but after a lot of talk and explaining, the Greek representatives were finally believed. And when Percy looked into Annabeth's grey eyes, and she into his, Percy suddenly remembered the gift that he had brought for her. He was going to give it to her as their first Valentine's Day gift but current events (a.k.a. Hera/Juno) prevented that from happening as planned.

As soon as all the formal stuff was finished with, Percy instantly wrote his mother a letter. It took him a while, but he got there in the end. He told her what had happened to him and why and he asked her to give Mrs O'Leary that jeweller's box he had in the top draw of his desk. Then, with an 'I love you', he put his note in a hellhound slobber-proof container and sent his hellhound on a delivery service.

That had all been during the morning and the good part of the afternoon. It was now late afternoon and there was still no sign of Mrs O'Leary. Percy was taking a quiet stroll with Annabeth as the sun began to set. And the only thing on his mind was 'where was Mrs O'Leary with that gift'?

" I know it's nothing like Camp Half-Blood, but this place does have its own ups and downs." Annabeth was saying, bringing Percy out of his thoughts. " Okay, if you see past the fact that it's basically a military camp for demigods."

" You're right. But things will turn out in the end. You'll see." He replied with a small smile.

" I guess."

Silence passed between the two as the sun's dying rays turned the hills surrounding Camp Jupiter to gold. The scene was breath-taking. And they just so happened to be sitting in one of the best spots for such a natural performance. So they were able to see how the trees gained their golden shadows and the shadow birds flew into them to settle themselves for the night. The crickets were beginning to chirp but their song was lost amongst the call of the restless birds up in the trees. And still there was no sign of Mrs O'Leary.

The scenery was so peaceful that all thought of the impending doom and missing son of Hades was driven from their minds. It was one of those moments that the both of them would cherish forever. Even if there was a truck sized shadow hound trotting tiredly towards them and otherwise scaring the still tense Romans into thinking it was an enemy. Thankfully the collar around its neck made them stop and think.

Quietly, and completely unaware of Mrs O'Leary making her way over to them, Annabeth laid her head on Percy's shoulder, enjoying the peace before it was destroyed again. It was like something in the back of her head had said 'enjoy it while you still can'. The thought honestly scared her, no matter how much she wanted to deny it. But a swift yet gentle peck on her forehead from Percy instantly blanked her mind for her.

She must have been tensing up slightly, too, because he whispered " Don't worry, Wise Girl. We'll make it through this. If we can defeat Kronos, I'm sure we can put Gaea back to sleep. Besides, we have the guy who took down Mt Othrys with us… even if he does hate my guts at the moment."

Annabeth said nothing. She knew he was right. They'll get through this. And they'll close Death's doors while they were at it. But at that moment, she just seemed content in watching as the first stars shone above the couple looking up at them from the earth. However, only the large shape of Mrs O'Leary could break the spell the scenery seemed to hold over them.

" ROOF!" the hellhound barked, clearly tired, as she dropped a rectangular box on Percy's lap.

" Mrs O'Leary! Good. Thanks girl. You deserve a rest. Go on girl." Percy replied, picking up the box and failing at cleaning it.

" Roof." Mrs O'Leary replied, wagging her tail slightly before laying down where she was and falling asleep.

" You could have gone to the stables, but there is good."

Percy recognised the box, despite the amount of hellhound slobber covering it. It was the container that he had sent the letter to his mother in. Carefully he opened the box and found a rectangular jeweller's box. It was a soft crimson brown colour with silver borders and a white band that separated the lid from the rest of the box. There was also a silver ribbon tied around it, ending in a bow. And thankfully the container had done its job. With a sheepish smile but soft eyes, he handed the rectangular box to Annabeth.

" Percy?" She asked, seeking an explanation on the gift.

" I was planning on giving this to you before… all this, kind of happened." Percy replied, indicating the switch between himself and Jason Grace by Hera.

Cautiously, Annabeth untied the ribbon and opened the box. Resting inside it, on a bed of felt, was a silver necklace. But it was the pendant which caught her breath. A small silver owl with diamond studs for eyes glistened up at her. And with the dying light of the sun, it looked like the owl was actually winking at her. At the very sight of it, all of Annabeth's worries seemed to fade and she looked up at Percy.

" Happy belated Valentine's Day, Wise Girl." He whispered, taking the necklace from the box and latching it around her neck for her.

He made sure to peck her forehead as he sat back, a smile on his face. His reply came in the form of a long awaited kiss on the lips by his speechless girlfriend. They were like that for nearly a minute, only breaking apart to breathe. And that was when Annabeth took her chance to admire everything about that night.

" Happy belated Valentine's Day, Seaweed Brain." She whispered back before resuming her moment of peace.

And all around them, the birds settled down for the night. The crickets chirped lazily up to the glistening stars as Zoe Nightshade, the huntress, smiled down on her friends' happiness. Mrs O'Leary was off in hellhound dreamland, probably dreaming about deserted pizza parlours and hotdog stands with the way she kept licking her lips. The final rays of the sun danced across the hills. And nothing, at that moment in time, could even care about the fight with Gaea's army that was really only just around the corner.

'Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These little wonders still remain'


So what did you think? I tried to get everyone in character, so hope I did okay. If not, I'm sorry. I tried to do a sneak peak at what I think will be in Mark Of Athena from what I've seen on the UK/Australian and US covers of MOA with Jason and Percy fighting. But hopefully this makes up for the Valentine's Day that Percy lost because he was in a coma-like state thanks to Hera.

Scene inspired by the song 'Little Wonders' by Rob Thomas, hence the lyrics at the end.

Again, I own nothing of PJO or HOO.

Hope you enjoyed. Next will be Tratie. Please R&R.
