HOLY FLAMING FLAMINGOS GUYS

THIS ISN'T A ONE SHOT. BUT THIS:

The first word of the Lightning Thief was: Look.

The last word of the Last Olympian was: Back.

"And for once I didn't look back."

Look back to when our little Percy was eleven, back when he nearly took out Nancy Bobfit, when he first held a sword and stopped Mrs. Dodds. To our best friend who we grew up with. To the guy who lost his mom and was scared, and fought Ares and won!

Look back to when Grover was just an outcast, the awkward napkin and can eating half goat guy. To the moment when none of us knew why exactly he had goat legs in the first place. To that moment when he was so determined to be the one to find Pan.

Guys, look back to Annabeth, her old bossy and independent mind, who's real conversation with Percy was "you drool in your sleep." To her confident attitude that never wavered. To Wise Girl before that was a "thing"

GUYS LOOK BACK BECAUSE PERCY DIDN'T.

AND THEN HE ENDED UP GETTING HIJACKED BY A CRAZY JERK GODDESS AND HAD HIS MEMORY WIPED.

DON'T BE LIKE PERCY AND GET KIDNAPPED.

LOOK BACK.

Look back.

Look back to Luke. The one who tried to save the world. The two faced jerk that we didn't know we fell in love with until he was gone.

Look back because we have an amazing fandom. And nothing will ever change that.
