When Two Worlds Collide

Annabeth liked to plan her death, but she didn't necessarily want to die. It was more of an escape from her sad reality. Working herself to the limit to pay off her drug-addict mom's bills was not her ideal life. The real world was a cruel place, she learned, especially when she witnessed her father and best friend die at the hands of the Royals. People are out to get you, and rules are meant to be broken.

Percy was King of the Poseidon Kingdom, so his life was taken over by royal duties. The top priority was always the Kingdom. But, it wasn't his decision to be King, and sometimes he yearned to have a normal life. Where he wasn't pressured to marry a rich girl, attend meetings, give speeches. He wanted to explore the world, and meet crazy people. Then again, he was used to being treated with utmost respect. Would he have a better life as just a regular commoner? Was he wasting his life playing by the rules?

When a dare sets their paths to align, sparks fly. The question is: was it Percy's feelings, or had Annabeth set a bomb to the Palace?

Yes, this is a Percy Jackson fanfiction, but you don't need to have read the books to understand the plot. It is very much AU.
