I started this last year after I read Blood of Olympus, found the unfinished work-in-progress recently, and worked it into this during some downtime.
After all that happened to Reyna and Nico, I just want them to chill together forever in New Rome looking at pictures of cute dogs.

how i think things would've been different if the "to storm or fire" line was explored more:
jason and leo are immediately aware of what that line means. no one else could be fire but leo. there's a bit more confusion with the storm line as zeus and poseidon can both control storms, but jason can tell it's him. zeus is the obvious answer. jason and leo are the more obvious pair.
jason and leo are typically very vocal with each other whenever anything has hurt or distressed them. they immediately talked after the medea situation, they discussed leo's fear of his own fire, leo was there for jason when he discovered the truth about his mom. however, both of them had already decided they would die for the other, making discussing it much more difficult to talk about it.
they both make an oath to do whatever it takes to protect each other and piper ("an oath to keep with a final breath").
as leo plans, he refuses to tell anyone what he's going to do until he absolutely has to tell Hazel. jason tells piper and gives her the option to opt out of the relationship, but she says no.
piper's feelings when she finds out are obviously very conflicted. she knows she's losing either her best friend or her boyfriend. she tries to put up a brave face, especially after jason confides in her about his plans to sacrifice himself first, but it's clearly taking a toll on her. she cannot find comfort in either ending.
the two continue to refuse to talk about it, and there's always a silent acknowledgment of what they're going to do. there's also the knowledge that neither would let the other die for them.
when they discover the physician's cure, all three of them get excited at the prospect. however, jason is more apprehensive, and he quickly begins to doubt he could cheat the prophecy. they still go forth with getting it created.
leo and hazel continue with their plan, but leo tells festus that if both he and jason are dead, to inject jason with it instead. he also tells festus to wait until the very final moment to resurrect leo to make sure everything else has gone right and no one else needs the vial instead.
the day before the final battle, jason and leo have a talk, and they're both aware this would probably be the last one they have. they discuss the physician's cure, and jason talks to him about his doubts. he says he believes he'll be rekilled anyways, that hades does not take kindly to resurrection and that the prophecy was probably final. leo, now nervous, tells him it doesn't hurt to try. jason shrugs.
they talk for hours, both afraid and knowing the other was the only one who understands the fear despite their refusal to discuss the topic with one another. by the end of their talk, they tell each other they're gonna miss each other. this is the most they ever talk about it.
the day after, jason's plans immediately go wrong. nothing works as it is meant to, but leo, whose plans were much more broad and "near the end of everything" based, was struggling way less. the two don't see each other for most of the battle.
jason is anxious that he can't see leo.
jason is forced to abort the plan all together and search for when leo is trying to sacrifice himself and stop him. he and piper search for leo, but leo finds them first when he and festus have to save the two.
when the sacrifice happens, jason is the first to realise what's going on, and dread immediately fills him. he failed in saving leo.
the battle ends, jason mourns. he thinks that's the end of it.
festus had taken leo's body far away as it waits for the last final moment to inject leo with the cure, just as leo had explained.
it takes a while to work. leo only wakes up a few days later, and his bones feel brittle, but he's happy because it worked. jason's words still live in his head, but it worked.
leo begins his flight back to camp halfblood, but he's stopped by apollo who asks for his help. leo agrees, and he sends messages to jason, piper, and hazel explaining what happened.
it takes a while longer before he finishes his work with apollo, and by that time he gets to iris message jason and piper separately. this, unbeknownst to him, is because they had broken up in the aftermath of everything. he also calls hazel and nico, who confirms hades is not expecting leo back.
festus breaks down by the end of his work with apollo, and while apollo leaves, leo works in fixing festus before continuing his path back to camp.
in that time, apollo continues his quest. he asks piper and jason for help.
jason is told either he or piper would die in the process of helping apollo. jason immediately realises it has to be him and that leo wasn't as successful in cheating the prophecy as he thought he was. he's not angry. he just accepts it.
jason calls leo one last time and goes ahead with the prophecy. when jason is killed, he's only glad he kept the oath to protect leo and piper.

i was rereading mark of athena and there’s this bit where annabeth says she wishes she could be literally any other demigod and it would make her life so much easier. she’s trying to descend into some tunnels and she says how percy could control the water at the bottom to cushion his fall, hazel could find and make new eays underground, she even wishes she had piper’s charmspeak that seems useless in this situation so she could’ve talked rhea into helping her more before her quest. and it’s so sad? because over the course of the next few chapters and the following book she goes to where no demigod has gone before. she finds the athena parthenos all on her own on a broken fucking ankle she snaps back into place herself and makes a cast out of bubble wrap so she can continue the quest. she finds it, outwits arachne, convincing her not only to not kill her but to also unravel the statue she’s kept there for literal centuries, while literally blinking back tears of pain and fear as she’s facing her phobia. she runs away from home at age 7 because she sees spiders and gets bitten by them... like the fact she defeats arachne is hardcore anyway, but it’s all so personal to annabeth that the fact she can even think throughout the whole process is just so respectable. the statue also turns the course of the war. if it wasn’t for her - no magic powers, no blessing or help from any god, just her hard work and stubborness - they wouldn’t have won. she turns the tide of the war in their favor. and she starts the quest wishing she wasn’t herself. my poor baby :,(

Ok but in an au where HOO was more like the Trojan war and the Romans have Percy. They two camps keep clashing bc CJ wants Jason and CHB wants Percy but Jason just wants peace and wants to convince the Romans that the Greeks are allies.
This leads to more and more conflict. It takes months, neither willing to give up. I see everyone talking about how the rivalry shouldn't have been Percy vs Jason and instead Annabeth vs Jason which makes amazing sense.
So Jason only really trusts Piper and Leo bc theyre his only "friends" and he's gone on a quest w them.
He refuses to fight at one point bc he has a talk w Piper about how he's always been the Golden boy of Rome and he's not willing to go too far w the war. Annabeth for once is so mad she cant think properly. Just like she's Percy's weakness, he's here. And all rational thinking goes out the window as soon as they take him.
So there's the conflict and in the absence of Percy, Jason is easily the most powerful demigod on the Greek side so when he stops fighting, the Romans start to win.
Annabeth immediately realises her mistake and tries to get him back on her side. But this is fundamentally against Jason's moral code. Fighting his old home is one thing, but fighting w no end in sight is stupid.
So he refuses to fight anymore and one day, Leo, accidentally gets mistaken for Jason on the battlefield bc of some modified armor or smth.
He gets overwhelmed immediately, but just before he dies, he gets whisked off to Ogygia.
That night when Leo doesnt come back from battle, Jason is forced to accept the possibility that he sort of- kind of has a crush on his best friend.
Then the story continues as Percy (who was actually kidnapped by Hera and actually unconscious) wakes up and realises whats going on. Then it deals w the 7 going to the Ancient Lands bc that's the only way to deal with Gaea and for Jason, who thinks Leo being taken was Gaea's doing, that's his only way to get his crush back.
Cue Odyssey like unnecessary adventures where they eventually get Leo back and Jason immediately realises where he's been (think Annabeth in TBOTL).
BUT while at Ogygia, Leo actually came to terms w the fact that he has a sort of- kind of crush on his best friend.
And well... Valgrace
