nothing safe is worth the drive

Summary:

"Fine!"

"What?" And then Wise Girl has the audacity to look politely confused. It's so obviously an act.

"I'll do it!"

Annabeth smiles victoriously. A few weeks later, Rhea decides that this was a good idea after all – not that she would say it to Annie's face.

OR:

The demigods use instagram. It is entertaining.

Notes:

i've seen this in so many different fics, and i liked this, so i decided: why not for the cast of miss americana & the heartbreak prince?

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

"What do you mean I've gone viral?" 

It's eight in the fucking morning, Rhea still has three assignments left that are due tomorrow, and it's too fucking early for this. 

"That you've gone viral," Annabeth says, having burst into her apartment with only one assignment ( lucky ) and a shitload of bad news, "From Rachel's video." 

Rhea whines and bangs her head against the kitchen table. Annabeth pats her head.

"There, there. It's not all bad," Rhea growls and her best friend hurries to continue, "Rachel's campaign has more reach than ever before. If we manage to get you an account-"

"Absolutely not!" 

"-As I was saying, if we manage to get you an account, and have you collab with Rachel, the reach would be extremely high."

Rhea's willpower is slowly crumbling and Annie knows this. In fact, she bets Annie is using this to get her to agree by just continuously extolling the virtues of this grand idea. 

"...Not only that, but-"

"Fine!"

"What?" And then Wise Girl has the audacity to look politely confused. It's so obviously an act.

"I'll do it!" 

Annabeth smiles victoriously. A few weeks later, Rhea decides that this was a good idea after all – not that she would say it to Annie's face.

stormqueenkym my sister looks obviously superior here.

apollotheawesome i second this


[ Another candid picture, where Apollo and Rhea have just finished a swordfighting match. Rhea has won, and has a blade pressed to Apollo's throat. Apollo is, once again, gazing adoringly. ]

bluecookiesjackson aww thank you agapi mou

apollotheawesome anything for you

apollotheawesome also check your kitchen table

bluecookiesjackson apollo…

apollotheawesome just trust me

 

savetheunicorns i need to ask this. are you two ACTUALLY a romcom? 

austin.of.the.lakes it was like watching a romcom in real time

kaylatheknowles filled with secondhand embarrassment too

apollotheawesome hey!

will_solace she's not wrong

angelofdeath imagine saying "please by my knight in shining armour" to you crush's face

apollotheawesome how do you KNOW about that?

kaylatheknowles everyone knows about that.

 

stormqueenkym YES! GO RHEA!

ladyofrhodes the favouritism runs deep in this one

stormqueenkym excuse you we bonded on a soul deep level

ladyofrhodes when. where.

tritonofatlantis over what. 

stormqueenkym at the bottom of the mediterranean sea, when she was seventeen or something, over bad life decisions and our shared need for violence

ladyofrhodes valid. 

 

fastandflying apollo, you mean throwback to when you literally went to learn swordfighting for closer proximity to your crush and then didn't shut up about her to us ever

savetheunicorns it gets better

empireofgeese i want what they have


[ Various pictures of the Seven, Thalia, Nico, Will, Grover, and Reyna

amazinggrace you can't be that good at monopoly

anything.frank it's unnatural

chxse well then who ruined scrabble huh

pipagirl all of us? we're dyslexic????

will_solace it was inevitable

chxse that's not an excuse

anything.frank i'd like to point out that i'm only lactose intolerant.

hazel oh, frank. 

 

exdictator_reyna i am never going to forgive you @ bluecookiesjackson  

bluecookiesjackson i can live with that, but i also didn't do shit

underthewoods what happened here?

exdictator_reyna and we're just going to ignore the fact that i will never be able to unsee it and might need to bleach my brain?

bluecookiesjackson you should have knocked, honey

underthewoods nevermind 


[ Begins with a candid picture of Rhea and Jason walking down the steps of a building that seems to be New Rome University in all black three-piece suits, with sunglasses. After that, there are pictures of both of them in different ridiculous poses – in one of them, they are showing off a law degree.

bluecookiesjackson guess who finally graduated!

 

amazinggrace and we both managed to stay sane throughout!

bluecookiesjackson it took a lot of coffee tho

amazinggrace all hail the power of strong as fuck coffee

 

apollotheawesome congratulations darling! 

bluecookiesjackson thanks

 

pipagirl we know how jason will be but can we take a moment to appreciate what a gem rhea will be in court

chxse your honour, i would propose letting the defendant's face meet my fist

angelofdeath your honour, you look like you haven't slept in weeks. that really can't be conducive to a good judgement. 

kaylatheknowles your honour, i have places to be, can we skip this running in circles thing? 

exdictator_reyna your honour, look at this bitch. he is so clearly guilty. why are we doing this again? 

extree_thalia your honour, if the prosecution says that again, i am not liable for my actionsb

will_solace your honour, if you say 'order' one more time, i will walk out. 

amazinggrace i will confirm that she has said all this during mock cases for classes. 

bluecookiesjackson you all know me so well. 

 

sallyjackson i am so proud of you, baby! 

bluecookiesjackson love you!

 

hazel congrats! also. is that… is that the two of you, hanging upside down from a seven-story building? 

amazinggrace …we were celebrating. 

 

apollotheawesome little brother, aimee is going to be very jealous that you are sitting on rhea's shoulders. 

austin.of.the.lakes i might just show that picture to her

amazinggrace dude

bluecookiesjackson someone mentioned aimee? is she okay? 

kaylatheknowles she misses you.

will_solace we all do

bluecookiesjackson i'll be there soon, promise

 

wafflesforlife this goes from super action filled spy movie to comedy in a matter of two pictures. 

empireofgeese keeping up with these people, episode i don't know

savetheunicorns twenty-seven. it's episode twenty-seven. 

janesmithsgun i won't even ask. 

Notes:

thoughts?
also, the next part might come up much, much later! i have an idea (mentioned in the comments of aristos achaeon) but we don't know where it will progress to.
