#I love valgrace friendship

[somewhereincairparavel]

Its canon that Jason and Leo sneak into Chiron 's rec room in the big house, to play Mario Party six on Nintendo switch. And Leo would also program to game to do stupid stuff so they both can win all the time. I have no idea what you will do with this information, but I'm letting you know anyway.

#Source: blood of olympus. YALL THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED IM NOT MAKING THIS UP 😭 #it was mentioned while they visited Asclepius to get the physician's cure #when they were trying to get past the statue. Leo said he'd program the statue the same way he programmed the game. #I NEED to draw this #I honestly wanted to post this after I drew it. But it would take a while. And I couldn't help myself #They are both the embodiment of 'boys will be boys'. #In the end. They're just teenagers #I like how it's a personal bro secret between them. Not even Piper knew this. #I love valgrace friendship #Jason is leo's best friend and vice versa #I like these small cute fluffy moments of friendship between them <3 #Valgrace is so tragic omg. They are both platonic soulmates #Im sad #Their dynamic is my Roman Empire #pjo #pjo hoo #pjo series #pjo hoo toa #pjo fandom #heroes of olympus #leo valdez #jason grace #valgrace #piper mclean #percy jackson #annabeth chase #hazel levesque #frank zhang #nico di angelo

ok but

i would like to project for a moment and who else but my one and only jason grace to carry this weight cause i believe we share many a qualities

i’m an absolutely horrible gift giver n so is he don’t argue but obviously he still wants to do something special for his friends that shows how much they mean to him

so for leo’s birthday (and pipers too) he makes them a book with a letter appreciating their relationship, a very long list of reasons he loves them, a shitty poem that’s more of a comedy, and a collage of moments together with lots of cute photos (also pages of funny stickers !!!)

he ties it all together with a cute string and their names written all pretty on the front. piper and leo have them safe in their room as their most prized possession

#i did this for my bf cause the one thing i can do is write n it ended up bein almost 20 pages #so psa if u wanna do an easy present that makes ur person feel rly fuckn special this the best route #but beside the point jason wld absolutely do this for them #i think he’s the sentimental type #and having a catalog of their love wld be perfect for him #u can’t tell me he wldnt have sm fun pouring over how much he loves leo #and all the ways pipers friendship has lifted him up #jason grace #leo valdez #valgrace #piper mclean #the lost trio #rrverse #hoo #heroes of olympus #thunderforge #riordanverse #the lost hero #the lost hero trio

And if i start pushing my Leo x Will x Nico friendship agenda???

You all WILL be listening to me!! Because they are besties i know it

Disclaimer: this Is a mortal!au, so no demigods and stuff

Starting when they were children

Will and Leo were childhood best friends

Grew up together and shi

Will always knew he liked both guys and girls and even tho he never explicity came out to Leo as bisexual, he always knew that too

They met Nico 2nd year of middle school (he was a new student) and they just. Decided to adopt him.

(Will definitely didnt look at him with heart eyes the moment he entered the classroom and pushed and pushed Leo to go talk to him and befriend him)

They supported him during the time of grief for Biancas death and it was something really big for Nico because even with all the issues with his father he knew he couldve found a safe place in his friends

Will was BOTH Leo and Nicos gay awakening (and they realized it almost at the same time, during 8th grade)

Hes a pretty boy and im tired of pretending its not like that

This was pretty hard on both of them. Leo reacted trying to push himself with as much girls as he could and Nico just stopped talking to Will for a while to try to understand what the fuck was going on.

Will was very confused, he didnt understand what he did wrong and why his best Friends were ignoring him like that

After some time Leo and Nico talked to each other and Leo helped Nico figure out his feelings, making him accept himself as gay.

They apologized to Will for how they treated him and he didnt make a big deal out of it, welcoming them back in his house with a warm smile.

(that definitely didnt gave them butterflies)

During the summer between 8th and 9th grade Nico came out to Will as well, somehow scared of a possible negative reaction

He was shocked when Will came out to him as bisexual in response of his "so you dont find it weird that i like men?"

Will was more shocked than Nico cause like. Was he dumb?? He explicity told him before that he had a crush on a boy in their math class

(Nico just thought that he was joking. He hoped that he was joking cause he definitely didnt want to get his hopes up)

Leo was the n1 supporter of his friends, but he couldnt say the same for himself. He couldnt accept what he felt for Will. He couldnt accept what Will made him feel. What girls didnt make him feel. He could accept Nico and Will liking boys, of course, but not himself. He wasnt like that. He couldnt be.

Starting high school he tries to ignore as much as possible his feelings, hitting on every girl he put his eyes on.

Will and Nico? Oh they just start that awkward they-like-each-other-but-are-too-afraid-to-admitt-it moment

2nd year of high school and Leo Is tired of having to listen to Nico gush and giggle about Will and Will gush and giggle about Nico. Tired tired

At one point he just explodes, yelling at Nico to please, shut the fuck up and just confess cause Leo can swear to him that it was going to end up well

So yeah thats how Nico and Will start dating

Yippy yee

Leo acts annoyed at the two of them being all sweet and dumb to each other but hes really happy for them

Which makes him realize something

He doesnt have to be miserable like he is

Forcing himself into people he simply doesnt like

He thought that if he went out with girls and girls and girls what he felt wouldve gone away

But it didnt

Well it did. Somehow. He doesnt feel anything for Will anymore.

But he still feels... Well feels when Jason Grace speakes to him

So he finally decides to speak to his best friends about it and they listen so carefully and they help. They help so much.

3rd year of high school Leo accepts himself.

Its not like things got suddently perfect

But hes doing better

And he feels lighter and happier than he ever felt before

my thoughts on caleo even though no one asked for them!!!

Personally, I don't like caleo, it felt forced, as if Leo was the only single one so Rick just paired him off with this immortal titaness so he wouldn't be alone. Honestly, Calypso's kinda a jerk, and Leo is too good for her. Nemesis told him that he'd always be the 7th wheel, so I like the headcannon that Leo's aromantic (idk the correct terms for everything, but I think that's correct), and he's the 7th wheel not because he's "unlovable" (all his friends love him) but because he simply does not want to date! And maybe he thinks he does want to date for a bit, but eventually he realises he's perfectly content with just his friends.

Also, it would have been wayyy more impactful if Leo had helped Calypso get away for Ogygia simply out of the kindness of his heart, and to hold the gods accountable for not following through on their promise to Percy. Maybe at first he thought he liked her, just to continue on Leo's whole "falling in love with unobtainable people" thing, but i dont think Calypso would ever return this crush, and Leo would just get over it. When Leo first arrived, Calypso took one look at him and was lowkey disgusted, like here was this scrawny guy washed up on here island, when before she's had strong, very heroic types such as oddyeseus, so I don't think she'd like Leo because he's simply not her type.

However I do like the idea of Calypso getting a soft spot for Leo, and them developing a sort of sibling-like relationship, or a friendship similar to early Percabeth - but with less of an undertone of romance and tragedy.

Also, if we're not going with the aro Leo hc, I way prefer valgrace or valzhang (they have so much more chemistry and backstory let's be real they're both sm better)

Having thoughts about how good a HoO au with Valgrace could’ve been.

Like just think about it. Okay so like, the initial start is the exact same, with Juno messing with Jason and Piper’s memories and making them think they were dating. And it continues like that, with them trying out actually dating despite the whole fake memories stuff.

But plot twist, Jason is gay and Piper is a lesbian, both of them were out before but Juno erased their memories about that part of themselves. Just think about how horrible that would be, having memories about being in love with someone but literally not being able to actually love them. Plus, it would make the whole Piper brainwashing Jason thing to make more sense on the Roman side. Everyone knew he was gay but then in comes Jason with a girl who is confirmed to have mind control powers, saying they’re dating, suspicious.

Anyway, over the course of the rest of the series, Jason and Piper would eventually come to realise their own sexualities and split incredibly pissed at Juno. Jason and Leo would grow closer together and eventually get together just in time to realise that the prophecy was for telling one of their deaths. Cue more angst.

I personally really dislike Calleo so this would’ve been so good, why didn’t you take the opportunity Uncle Rick 😭😭😭

But seriously, the way the seven are paired up into couples and the one dude left remained is pushed with a literal millennia old titaness at the very end just irks me really bad. I don’t think the Calleo relationship works and they weren’t well developed in the books either IMO.

I think it would’ve been better if, instead of falling for Calypso, Leo didn’t fall for her but still tried to help her, showing that she didn’t need the other person to fall for her in return to escape. I genuinely think their friendship had a lot of potential if it didn’t get turned to romance.

In any case, I’m def using this concept for some fanfics down the line.

have some random pjo / hoo hcs

- percy is polynesian (his dad) and hispanic (his mom)

- nico is portuguese (along with being italian obvi)

- nico goes partially mute after bianca dies and learns sign language to communicate (ASL along with Greek Sign)

- jason is socially inept bc most of his childhood was spent being raised/trained by literal wolves (basically he’s just really socially awkward)

- jason and piper are mlm wlw solidarity, they were just both tricked into thinking they were straight bc of hera (but they’re platonic soulmates tbh)

- annabeth always smells like old books, fresh ink and olives

- leo is autistic and his special interest is mechanics/engineering/building stuff

- hazel was born in 1928 in new orleans, she has a 1920’s southern accent

- frank has a canadian accent

- leo has a southern (texan) accent

- frank & hazel and nico & will go on double dates (hazel and will suggest it and frank and nico can’t say no to them)

- jason and frank have some leftover wolfy habits from training / being raised in The Wolf House by Lupa (mainly accidentally growling or baring their teeth at people)

- leo annabeth and jason also know ASL (leo goes selectively mute, annabeth just loves learning languages and finds it useful, and jason finds it easier to communicate that way sometimes)

- this is actually canon but not talked abt enough: leo and nico slip back into their native languages when they’re stressed (spanish and italian)

- leo and nico become best friends i take no criticism

- piper hazel and frank all know french so they sometimes just gossip in french abt other ppl

- jason and nico are also best friends (but they have more of a brotherly bond type of friendship)

- after leo saves calypso she leaves to go explore the world and instead jason takes her place dating leo and going to high school together in indiana :] (sorry but i kinda fucking hate calypso for cursing percabeth in tartarus)

valgrace my loves <3

- leo and annabeth talk in morse code sometimes when talking out loud feels like too much. they’re also really good friends and often go to each other for help on their designs / schematics

- leo makes a bunch of fidget toys for himself and his siblings / friends (cuz they literally all have adhd lmao)

uhhh that’s all for now i’ll probably make a part 2

[aficionadoenthusiast]

I absolutely hate these kinds of posts so I thought I'd do it to see first hand how many people actually like it and care about other people's opinions on their ships so...

my arbitrary ratings of non canon pjoverse relationships and why I think they would never work (or would) (scroll down for canon)

perachel: 3/10 nothing but platonic vibes, their brief stint felt more like an experiment than genuine romantic feelings or attraction; they both deserved better

percico: 1/10 a reiteration of an earlier post: their relationship would get bogged down by unshared feelings and grief, plus nico's crush was just a crush, and percy never had feelings in the first place

perlypso: 0/10 their whole interaction was percy being half dead and calypso being manipulated, not to mention she cursed him

pereyna: 2/10 any het relationship with reyna feels icky to me, she just seems so queer coded (which makes sense cause she literally joined an ace club), and percy was so focused on annabeth when they first met it just doesn't seem fair to either of them

pipercy: 4/10 this is a FRIENDSHIP I wanna see them figuring out they're bi together so much platonic potential

jercy: 7/10 honestly if I had to put these two with anyone else, I would choose this ship solely for the tension in mark of athena and that an alternate ship name is person

percypollo: 0/10 icky, pedophilic, and honestly kinda homophobic. percy would never enter a relationship with a god anyway

percy/literally any god: 0/10 see percypollo

lukercy: -1/10 imo there is no way to write this in a way that's not abusive, predatory, and just bad in general. i will not take the "enemies to lovers" storyline for this one either because there are some things that just aren't redeemable, and i consider luke's actions irredeemable. plus both their histories with annabeth make this ship very, very icky

pipabeth: 9/10 favorite non canon pairing, I can totally see a threesome with Percy, these two have such a great dynamic, only minus a point because I love percabeth too much

lukabeth: 0/10 sexist, icky, just all around a red flag

jasabeth: 2/10 nothing but platonic vibes

reynabeth: 4/10 they would be so powerful together, but feelings and emotional skills would be their undoing

jeyna: 0/10 see pereyna

leyna: 2/10 sibling vibes and see pereyna

theyna: 8/10 see reynabeth, but also I would love to see their similarities come to a head when they actually have to confront their feelings

apollo/reyna: 0/10 this is a thing?? ew???? reyna has such a huge issue with authority and the gods in general, it would never work, and see pereyna and percypollo

pipeyna: 7/10 would be good, but I need more info, though I think it would bring piper's jealousies to a nice full circle, especially if it was used in a way that helps piper figure out her sexuality

liper: 3/10 sibling vibes, I do not like

jiper: 5/10 that's right y'all, this isn't canon anymore! cute while it lasted, but they were completely made up and forced together by hera. that does not make a good, trusting relationship where one party is missing crucial details and the other remembers things that didn't happen, honestly i would have much rather they just ended it in lost hero when they realized hera was manipulating them

thaluke: 3/10 so much complicated history, I see them as ross and rachel from friends only worse

valgrace: 6/10 platonic mostly, but I can see it turning into something; I think they could definitely be good for each other; would love to see some healing centered stuff for them

valdangelo: 0/10 they barely interact, and their personalities are not the cute "opposites attract" it is straight up "we are both intensely traumatized, but in different, incredibly clashing ways"

haleo: 4/10 I can see it, but with sammy, it's just too complicated

fraleo: 5/10 I like the tension, but ultimately their personalities would clash too much

frazeleo: 10/10 this might be the only non canon ship I really wish was canon. separate, they are boring and clash with each other so much, but I think having the three of them together would provide a buffer when necessary while also keeping things fun and interesting

jasico: 3/10 very much a sibling relationship, seems to me like they were just shoved together because they were there

tratie: 10/10 floors me that they aren't canon

sally/poseidon: 2/10 sure it would work but she is an independent woman who wants less a man and more someone to love her and be there for her that isn't her son

ruegard: 8/10 would 100% ship it if i didn't love beckengard so much, plus i love the patrochilles parallels here

canon ships in order from least favorite to favorite:

zeus/hera: -10/10 sucks ass, their relationship is built on mistrust and a forced marriage, hera is quite literally shackled while zeus does whatever the hell he feels like while hera takes her anger out on anyone but him

god's/any of their affairs: 0/10 there's a reason none of them lasted

piper/shel: 4/10 another reiteration: ig it could be something, but it was literally a few paragraphs, and we know piper is experimenting with her sexuality, so it could be anything, not just a permanent romantic ship

caleo: 4/10 calypso needs some time to figure herself out and not be chained to a person or place; maybe they can try again after they both have some more life experience

frazel: 6/10 cute, but they're still pretty young, even by pjo standards, and compared to the other canon ships they're kinda dull imo, but i do love the awkwardness

beckengard: 9/10 absolutely love it, wartime romance, tension, dying for each other, trying for elysium for each other, only minus a point because one of them was a spy

sally/paul: 9/10 i love it, i'm so glad sally finally found a decent man, only minus a point because...adults

gruniper: 9/10 very cute, would be 10/10 but the start of their relationship felt kinda wonky to me like rick just wanted to pair grover with someone

solangelo: 10/10 adorable, checks all my boxes - opposites attract, healing from trauma, one extrovert one introvert, there is absolutely no downside

percabeth: 11/10 the OGs, the ship i use as a standard for all of my other ships no matter the fandom, still my absolute favorite ship, there was not a single bad track, they are so good for each other

[thewrongwarrior]

opinions on valgrace?

I see this ship a whole lot, but I never really knew what to think of it.

I think this entire ship exists because people hate Caleo and Jason and Piper broke up, and I’m sorry, I think it’s cute but I don’t really see it.

I really like their friendship tho, like I think that Jason and Leo and Piper are all kind of platonic soulmates, like they would all die for eachother. At the end of the lost hero when they defeat the giant, they just all sit there and laugh because they’re so glad that they’re alive, is such a moment that really drives this idea home.

I think that Leo kind of deciding that in no way is he ever going to let Jason die in this quest and so he decides that instead of Jason dying he was going to die instead, was really cool. It really shows how amazing Leo is as a character and how great of a friend he is.

As a ship, I think it doesn’t work out. I don’t see Leo being romantic and I’ve already said this before, but Leo being in any romantic relationship kind of ruins his character. It ruined it with calypso, if Jason rushes in it’ll ruin their friendship too and I don’t want that. Leo needs to learn to love himself and care for himself and learn that it’s okay to love himself and it’s okay to not be in a relationship.

I hate Caleo so much you guys, you don’t even know but this isn’t about Caleo- and I don’t know, it’s just really messy. If they got together, I don’t think it would work out.

I’m saying this as a huge jercy shipper but idk they always just seemed like platonic soulmates to me. Like Leo would and HAS died for Jason, and I feel like in any circumstance Jason would do the exact same thing.

But them being romantic is kinda eh, yk? Like I don’t think that they would.

[annapoofle]

I wish we could have established grammatical rules for ship names to indicate which area of the platonic to romantic spectrum they inhabit. Like if percabeth meant romantic and jacksonchase meant platonic and smartwater meant queerplatonic. Do you see my vision

I do love the process we currently use, where we all throw darts at the board (jaleo? valgrace? thunderforge?) and see what sticks (✨valgrace✨ ✔), and I realize that my idea is incompatible with this process (and that my idea is additionally unrealistic to enforce), but still... I just think it would be fun and cool....

I guess what I'm really wanting to say is I wish we had distinct ship names for brotps. I want to be able to rant about them more succinctly than having to say the mouthful of "Piper and Leo friendship" over and over. And I like playing around with linguistics

[sapphicashdoom]

It’s to early in the morning for this but I have to get my thoughts out there.

In theory Caleo could have worked but in a completely different way that didn’t give us such a mess of a relationship. In my humble opinion caleo could have worked as a friend ship. As most people know love comes in many forms like familial, friendship, romantic, etc. if Rick really wanted to get calypso off the island they could have made her love Leo in a friend or family way.

I know that the curse says that Leo can’t leave the island unless he falls in love with her but with the way heteronormativity is he could have easily believed he loved her and learned later on that he felt the connection of a friendship/ family bond. Having Leo fall for her and then later on realize he doesn’t actually love her could have given him a much stronger character arc about learning to love himself and actually explore his sexuality. He could have easily gone back for her anyway at the end of BoO anyway if this would have been the case because now not only does he see her as an important friend but it also shows that friendships even without the prospect of romance is is just as valuable. Plus Leo wouldn’t be the type to just abandon someone if he lost romantic interests, it’s showed time and time again that he really values his friendship with the seven especially piper and Jason,

Honesty having him get with calypso to me reads like he is avoiding dealing with his personal stuff in favor of just forgetting all of his worries and issues because now he has a pretty gf. Having him jump into a relationship with someone he barely knows really just cuts whatever interesting thing that could have been done with Leo.

And even tho I love valgrace Leo doesn’t even need to end up with Jason by the end. Just having Leo learn to love himself or explore a new side to himself or allowing him to explore his sexuality would have been really interesting honestly. I found piper’s story on realizing she like girls similarly interesting but I wish we could have seen it developed more. Plus it would have been awesome to see WLW and MLM solidarity portrayed well if that was the case. Idk I’m probably just rambling because I genuinely don’t like caleo and I wish they could have done something more interesting with the concept of calypso getting off her island and Leo exploring himself.

Not only that but it could have give Rick the opportunity to expand on calypso that wasn’t just “I live on this island alone and I fall in love with guys a lot” he could have built on her resentment of being on the island or could have expanded on her and given her more than just her base personality. Hell calypso could have been great aro/ace or Cupid-asexual representation would have been amazing !!

For me Leo is a personal comfort character because he is Latino and I related to him a lot and with my experience with being a Latina lesbian dealing with heteronormativity. I was trying to void thinking about being a lesbian back then that I often just kept jumping from romantic crush on random dudes to other random dudes. Maybe I’m just projecting but honestly I wish they could have done more. Representation is important and I think that having Leo expanded on besides “he goes back for his gf who he barely has any chemistry with” would have been awesome

Sadly we didn’t get that and I’ll forever be forced to have valgrace/ Leo brain rot all the time

1, 17, 18, 23 <33

also I found this website called build your own rapier…it has all these different designs and ships within a week…I’m pretending I’ve lost my wallet

(for the choosing violence ask game btw, and also i've answered these for the percy jackson series and lockwood and co pahaha)

1. the character everyone gets wrong rachel mf elizabeth dare. I'll admit it isn't everyone, and i've seen a lot more people lately defending her (especially the battle of the labyrinth rachel) but i have always been a rachel lover, and will always be one. she wasn't purposely doing anything to aggravate annabeth, she just liked percy yk (communication should've been key in this). stupid love triangles that pit women and girls against each other because of a guy too oblivious to their feelings will always piss me off

17. there should be more of this type of fic/art lucy carlyle and george karim's friendship. i have seen some great stuff for them, but it's so so so little compared to all the locklyle/iron trio fics and art, and i just want to see my little besties goofing around or bickering. them two, and also more lucy and holly munro stuff (bickering, getting along, just being girls together yk) i would DIE for either of those

18. it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on... valgrace. don't get me wrong, i love piper and jason (in heroes of olympus) but they didn't give the vibes we needed which is why, as much as it hurt, i love that they broke up. BUT LEO AND JASON???? oh they're like brothers. they're best friends. no. there was not a single straight person on the argo ii and valgrace should've happened. calypso is thousands of years old but jason is leo's bestie!! they game together and come up with cool ideas and they should've been together no i will not take criticism

23. ship you've unwillingly come around to lucy carlyle x holly munro. i am a locklyle lover first before anything, don't get me wrong. but after all of the theories i've seen surrounding lucy and holly (their ship name to me will always be lolly) it just tickles a part of my brain. enemies to lovers sapphics. what more must i say?

A Platonic! Jason and Reyna One-Shot

Much Needed Conversation

Reyna sighed in content as she looked among the two camps as they collaborated. Her eye first caught Piper in her beautiful glory. Piper was with Leo and Drew, Leo under her arm and Drew in front of her. Piper was beaming, surprisingly, that doesn’t happen often with Drew around. Reyna couldn’t blame her though, Leo’s plan worked and he lived, they won the war.

Next she saw Frank and Hazel with Nico di Angelo. Nico wasn’t exactly smiling but he looked happy. Hazel was flicking her wrist all around as she talked to the two boys, Frank next to her with an arm around her waist.

Her eyes darted around and saw some members of the Fifth Cohort. Dakota was talking with the Stoll brothers who were alongside—Katie Gardner was it? Reyna couldn’t recall. She saw Bobby not far from him talking to some of Dionysus’ children who were enjoying Dakota’s drinks he served.

Then Percy and Annabeth came into her line of sight as they walked with their friend, Grover Underwood. The faun—satyr was hobbling along next to them, grinning widely that his two friends were back.

Then she just scanned over the camp once again. Frank, Hazel, Nico, Piper, Leo, Drew, then she saw Thalia Grace. She was standing with Jason who seemed to be introducing her to Gwendolyn.

She smiled slightly but then frowned to herself. Someone tapped her shoulder.

“Talk to him.” Hylla.

Reyna sighed. “He’s busy, and besides-“

“He does want to talk to you. You two are best friends, the whole war passing shouldn’t change that.”

Reyna faced her sister and nodded. She handed off her spear and took off her armor, then she made her way to Jason.

As she approached, Thalia grinned. Gwen waved.

“Hey, Reyna.” Thalia said.

“Thalia,” Reyna smiled slightly. “how are you?”

“Fantastic.”

“Good.”

Thalia seemed to catch the wave that she wanted to see her brother and offered to show Gwen the strawberry fields. After they left, Reyna realized how difficult this way. It shouldn’t be this hard, she thought, it’s Jason. He knows you better than anyone.

“Take a walk with me?” Jason asked.

She nodded.

They walked in silence in the forest, then rested at a tree spot. They sat in a similar position that they did on Cabin 1’s rooftop.

“I’m sorry.” Reyna said after a while.

“For what?” Jason asked. “Rey, I left-“

“Because of Juno. Or was it Hera?” Reyna shook her head. “Doesn’t matter, it wasn’t your fault. Besides…I didn’t give you the friendliest greeting when you returned. I missed you. I should’ve showed it.”

Jason smiled for good measure. It was comforting. “I missed you too. You were one of the very few people I could remember.”

“Do you have all those memories back?”

He shook his head. “No, not yet. I think I have almost them all though. I got some more of us back. Like when we went swimming in the ocean after a mission.”

Reyna laughed. A real laugh. “I remember that, I think I almost drowned.”

“We could’ve used Percy during that.”

Reyna shrugged. “I’m fine with just you, Grace.”

Jason eyes flashed lightening, showing off a grin so he scarred lips didn’t have to.

“I’m fine with just you too, Ramirez.” He flashed his all-too-well-know friendly smile. “I’m sorry I never gave you closure on what happened after I got back. I didn’t exactly try acting on the subject.”

“Fair point,” Reyna agreed. “so…we’re good?”

“Of course we are Rey,” Jason carefully put an arm around her. “I wouldn’t want it any other way.”

“Me too, Jay, me too.”

She stood and yanked him up with her, then she threw her arms around his shoulders. His arms snaked around her middle into a warm embrace that Jason Grace seemed to give everyone who wanted a hug—needed or not.

When she pulled away she flashed him a cocky grin, not something you see everyday—not something anyone has ever seen. Jason has.

“So tell me, Grace,” she was teasing him. “Since you an Aphrodite’s girl broke up..I see you and Valdez are looking quite cozy.”

Jason’s ears went red. “We’re not cozy. Well—no cozier than usual.”

Reyna hummed, unconvinced.

“How about you tell me, Ramirez,” he grinned. “what about you and our beauty queen? Your not exactly good at hiding googly eyes.”

She punched his shoulder playfully with a laugh as he wiggled his eyebrows at her.

“Shut up,” she called as she turned around. “Let’s get back to camp.”

“Which one?”

She shrugged and turned over as he tapped her shoulder, just so Jason could move to her opposing side. She glared.

“Camp Half-Blood?” He asked. “Our second home.”

“Yeah,” she nodded. “Yeah our second home.”

After a few moments of silence, she laughed.

“What?” Jason raised an eyebrow.

“Who would’ve thought we’d come this far, huh?”

“I did.” He put an arm around her again. “We got us, what did you expect.”

She smiled. “Nothing less and nothing more. We’re pretty fucking great.”

“Of course we are,” Jason chuckled. “We’re Rey and Jay, the unstoppable duo.”

“Inseparable too.” Reyna smiled.

The funniest thing to me was that I forget that I’ve also written perleo, valgrace, and percy/Leo/Jason and it’s from the sheer fact valgrace wasn’t called that way back when

#every time someone mentions valgrace I go nah #but then I remember what it is #still nah but I love their friendship

[oceanics]

Why is valgrace such an underappreciated pairing !!!!! Why !!!!!

#its GOD-TIER friends to lovers and y'all just keep sleeping on it smh #like how can u not see leo's GIANT crush on Jason #how can u not see that jason ALWAYS feels better in leo's presence #they also...get along....so well.... #valgrace #ALSO theie friendship is so precious #their* #(just kill everything rick wrote after hoh bc its not valid and not my canon #not just bc of them) #and aLsO they are so much better than (redacted) #and with valgrace the logical conclusion is either pipabeth or reynabeth and What More Could You Ask For #like god dont get me started on pipabeth...literal soulmates...eat each others food #i bet they wear each others clothes #they had like. an instant connection imo even tho annabeth was sad about percy #gos i love them so much #ania speaks #txt

[lunarrumor]

i just think that valgrace. so much potential. so much chemistry

we have:

- best friends to lovers

- height difference

- jason being very strung up and leo being the exact opposite so they balance each other out

- leo always stealing jason's clothes even before they're together because they're really comfy and jason's not the most fashionable but leo's never cared about his clothes much (except he does care about these ones because they're his "best friend's" and it reminds him that he has people now,,, people that love him)

- and he wears one of jason's shirts to his workshop one day and he accidentally gets grease on it (because lets be real he has never owned a single item of clothing that didn't somehow get a grease or oil stain on it)

- and he's really upset because it's like he ruined one of his most precious items and jason let him have it (he took it one day while they were up late playing video games and he wanted to get comfortable and jason refused when he tried to give it back for ~totally straight and only friendly~ reasons)

- and he thinks jason's gonna be mad because what if he did want it back and he's gonna change his mind and never let me have anything of his ever again but he goes to the dining hall trying to subtly hide it but of course jason notices it because he's got a great vantage point on leo and he's always staring at leo but especially today because he's wearing his shirt and he always looks really cute after coming back from his workshop because he has dirt on his face and his hair is all messed up and he always comes back looking proud of himself for finishing a project or all jittery because he wants to get back so he can keep working or frustated that something went wrong (but that isn't very often jason thinks because leo's kind of a genius with machinery and he always manages to make the most amazing things)

- anywayy so jason notices and he doesn't say anything but he can see him staring and his eyebrows do that cute little furrowy thing that always happens when he's thinking about something and leo's just waiting for him to mention it

- meanwhile jason is looking at leo's shirt his shirt with grease stains on it—leo's signature look and he's trying so hard to keep from smiling like an idiot because now it looks like theirs—like it's a part of them both and leo's looking absolutely amazing in it in the light of the dining hall, highlighted gold by the sun going down and the torches set around for light

- he looks at his crisp purple shirt, now slightly wrinkled, with oil stains and he thinks it reminds him of their own friendship—how he's always neat and precise but leo relaxes him, he's not afraid of getting messy and he's not afraid to pull jason along with him and he never does say anything but he gives leo a random hug after dinner before he goes back to the workshop, which isnt that unusual because ever since jason realized that leo and piper didn't mind casual affection—in fact piper was always one to just drape herself around her friends and hang off of them because as much as she didn't like being an aphrodite kid she's always been a sucker for little ways of showing people you love them—jason hasn't stopped hugging them since

- leo was surprised at first when he started doing it but now he welcomes them because jason's hugs are so warm and it makes him feel home and so when he does so after dinner leo's only really shocked because this one is extra suffocating and he was expecting actually the opposite reaction but then he supposes he shouldn't really be so surprised because jason has always been the most understanding person he's met and he never gets annoyed with leo like others do, he's always just there waiting to help him or to hug him or to give him one of his oh-look-at-me-im-so-attractive-people-probably-make-paintings-of-me-just-to-capture-my-beauty smiles that is always so bright and soft and leo doesn't know how jason can always look so content when he's got so much weight on his shoulders (this definitely doesnt have to do with the fact that just being around leo makes him happy and he forgets all his responsibilities except making sure leo is doing okay)

- and when they are together jason sure as hell takes advantage of his staring privileges because now he can look at leo in his clothes and smile like a goof and it's completely normal boyfriend behavior and he absolutely never shuts up about how much he loves leo and ~maybe~ leo recognizes this and starts wearing more of his clothes just so he can get extra tight hugs because he's always been one for manipulating the system and damnit if this system of how he could possibly get the most love from jason is not the best thing he's ever gotten himself into

- and now i've gone on a very long rant about valgrace (oopsie) but im going to continue (with some nico !!!) because @transjasico has me thinking about valdangelace

- so nico doesnt have the same habits as leo does when it comes to taking all of jason's clothes because he hates looking small and he has a reputation to uphold and a ~style~ to keep (aka an emo teen that shops at hot topic)

- and jason totally doesn't start buying more black clothes because maybe he perhaps notices this (after all who is he if not constantly obsessing over his boyfriends and analyzing all the cute habits they have)

- and piper sees this change of clothing and gets a little worried because she just got jason to branch out a little from purple t-shirts that he somehow makes look like he's ready for a business meeting? and oh no what if while she was training him and telling him to ~find his own style~ she accidentally encouraged him to go goth

- so she's like /what have i done/ because while she teases him about it, nerdy jason is her jason and what if he decides to get a bunch of piercings now because that simply wouldn't look right (i mean of course he could pull it off but goth!jason would look simply off to anyone who had met him for more than two seconds and seen what a mom friend he is)

- so she asks him about it because she can not be responsible for jason breaking all of the goth little hearts in america with his new look (yes he just started wearing more black but piper thinks ahead okay she's smart like that)

- and he admits it to her and she just cackles in his face (and then suddenly gets serious because she's like okay i know you love your boyfriend but seriously this is not the style for you)

- but who's laughing when his plan works??? one night at the campfire nico forgot his aviator jacket and he's about to shadow travel to get it but jason is like no no no you're not gonna wear yourself out just to get a jacket and you can't just leave (a brilliant excuse if you ask him, because jason's a quick thinker like that,,,, and being around leo he picked up some of his scheming habits)

- but he's like *puts hand on nico's arm and activates his Serious Yet Loving boyfriend face" and goes: noo nico why would you do that when i have a jacket *whips hoodie off his lap with a flourish* right here :)))

- and nico's like ....okay sure :)

- and jason has an accomplished little smile seeing nico bundled up in his hoodie because not only is he warm but phase one of his mission is complete and now he just has to ease nico into stealing more of his clothes and he thinks he was really subtle but nico definitely knew what he was doing and he brought it up to leo who thought it was very cute to see conspiring!jason and hilarious that he was so determined for somebody to steal his clothes so when jason pulled out his jacket he made a little motion to nico like *go on take it* and nico rolled his eyes (without jason seeing of course) and activated his amazing acting skills so he could see his boyfriend look all proud of himself

- and now i've gone on another very long rant (i still blame you @/transjasico) but nico starts wearing them more because jason always does everything he can to make them happy and he thinks its worth it to see jason all smiley and they're very comfy and he does enjoy the extra bear hugs and the smirk leo gives him every time he sees him wearing jason's shirt but that's not the point

- okay now im done

the point is.... LET JASON LOVE HIS TWO BEST FRIENDS BOYFRIENDS OKAY

#me: haha im just gonna make a post about valgrace that's *very short* and— #me looking at the actually very long post in which i dissolved into multiple rants about clothes thievery: oh. whoops :) #sidenote leo also steals one of nico's shirts one time and he goes up to his boyfriends with a ~smolder~ like 'i think this is really #working for me . righttttt :D' #and nico's like *deadpan* no. #you should take it off right now. #and NOW im done #just lots of valdangelace thoughts tonight #reading this back i think this is the longest post ive ever made ..... #rrverse #jason grace #leo valdez #nico di angelo #valdangelace #valgrace #jasico #valdangelo #yes a lot of this post was me going off on long tangents about how amazing leo or jason is what are you gonna do abt it
