Fics like the devil's in the details, but you've got a friend in me

BOTL: For the rest of the summer, "Annabeth and I pretty much skirted around each other. I was glad to be with her, but it also kind of hurt, and it hurt when I wasn't with her, too." - or - As he looks up, he sees the distress that she’s attempting to mask. It strikes him that even though she’s clearly anxious to know what had happened that day, in this moment she is more concerned with comforting him, with making sure he’s alright. He’s reminded of a time when their roles had been reversed—when her world was crumbling, and he had just wanted her to be okay. A bubble at the bottom of the ocean, his arms around her as she had cried for a future she’d never have: a city of marble and gold, a happy family, the boy she had lost to the other side of the war. He pushes the past few weeks out of his mind and remembers that this is Annabeth, his best friend. One of the people he trusts most in the world. “I was burning alive,” he exhales.
