I haven't even started with the manga so you're ahead of me. And actually the latest episode I watched was the previous weekends so I might be one episode? behind? For My Hero. But I'm cool with au somehow or earlier canon or whatever we want to work with to fudge it. I have thrown Izuku at texting memes previously since they're less intimidating with voice testing I guess haha. So yeah that sounds good to start with? And then we can like, plot a bit more if it works out? Or something.

But yes, I am totally cool with that, I wasn't necessarily expecting shipping with Percy and assumed you meant you shipped him with Will, so no worries there! I'm cool with the canon friends/bros dynamic. They both have their own partners anyway and I loved how Nico was able to move on from his crush on Percy on his own. I'm cool with stuff set prior to the Apollo series if you prefer, since you said you preferred HoO and weren't as much of a fan of the newer series with Lester, and I wouldn't want to accidentally spoil you or something.
