We all have that one ship in the Riordanverse we would absolutely die for. But only one pairing can be traced all the way back to The Lightning Thief.

Together, Percy and Annabeth have survived attacks from Greek, Roman, and Egyptian gods, Kronos’s assault on New York, the Second Giant War with Gaea and her children, and even the dreaded college admissions process. Yes, they’ve been through it all. But with so much history between these two lovestruck demigods, tracing the milestones of their relationship can be a struggle.
