Characters/Pairings: Annabeth, Thalia, Luke and Nico, with a lot of Thalia/Luke and some Nico/Annabeth on the side.

Summary: Snapshots of a life as Annabeth Chase grows up in a world where Thalia never turns into a tree, Luke's destiny is something else entirely, and a certain son of Poseidon never makes it to Camp Half-Blood. AU.
Notes: My
help_haiti fic for
antistar_e. She gave me quite a few awesome ideas to work with and while the first fic I started got stuck in exposition hell, I began working on this on the side in case that first didn't pan out in time. And then this fic turned into a little baby monster. I've had this AU idea in mind for quite a while, though I was originally going to tell it in Percy's POV and it would've been a hell of a lot longer. It is highly likely that there will be a sequel for this since it has
eaten my brain and will not let go. I hope you like it,
antistar_e!
