"You want me to help you?" A quizzical look befell your face as you look up from your spot under the shaded tree. You sat by the edge of the lake, you were taking a quick break hiding from the younger campers who wanted to train with you as you were a crowd favorite with the new arrivals. You just needed a recharge, a moment away from the energy that overexerted you. "Of all people?"
Leo rolled his eyes, "Who else?"
You snorted, "Cabin 6 is that way." You pointed and nodded your head in the direction of the Goddess of Wisdom's cabin, filled with the brightest minds and much better options to help Leo with his current request.
"C'mon baby, please?" Your boyfriend pouted and lowered his chin to gain your favor with his golden brown eyes that, you were afraid to admit, made you weak. 
"But I'm tired and I want to take a nap, using my brain will probably kill me at this point." 
He knelt with outreached hands, you allowed him to hold both of your palms in his own, you should have known better. He used his strength to pull you up from the ground and brought you to his chest, his hands settled on your hips. 
Instinctively you looped your arms around his neck and rolled your head to the right, tilted perfectly for him to mold his lips to yours. And he did, pecking chaste kisses onto your lips, pleading with you to join him in Bunker 9.
"I suppose I could be persuaded," You nudged your nose against his. 
~~~
The moment you arrived inside the bunker and saw his work table, normally filled with scattered tools and mechanical pieces that were in the process of being fixed or tweaked, was now littered with papers. 
Leo's homework was divided into five different sections that had their respective piles. "By some miracle, I finished everything else, now all I'm missing is this." He reveals papers that were held behind his back.
"Math." You skim the equations on the document in your hands, nothing on this page was anything you would be able to help him with. 
The smirk on his face made you glare at him and fold your arms stubbornly, "Yup," Leo rolled two chairs over to the desk that felt like your new timeout spot. 
"Honestly, I feel like I shouldn't be subjected to torture because you decided to take courses over the summer." 
"What happened to 'you die, I die'?" He reiterated the phrase you had spoken to him as a sort of mantra during the war. Your jaw dropped at the use of them being thrown back in your face and quickly shut it close. 
"In the face of war!" You exclaimed and shrugged it off, "Just for that, you can die alone."
"I did, it wasn't my vibe," He twirled a strand of your hair, and let it fall back into place, stepping back with a hand on his hip leaning the other on the table. "Aren't you testy today?"
"It's been a day, the kids were hard to gather and once I had them riled up they wanted to learn this specific trick they've seen me do but how many times can I let them down gently and tell them they need to learn the basics- drills that they've repeated hundreds of times, that some still aren't getting and will possibly die if they get caught by a monster if they don't get-" You inhale deeply, "So what do I do? I let them learn the hard way to get it through their heads that it's not as simple as it looks and I've only managed after years of fucking practice. And you know what?"
"What?" You wanted to smack the amused smirk off of Leo's pretty face. 
"They didn't pick it up like I knew they wouldn't, now they hate me but still wanna train with me because they still want me to teach them. My body is sore, I'm tired and I hate you for making me do homework," You pout. 
He approaches you with caution, slowly caressing your cheeks in his hands, he presses his lips against yours that were currently being smushed together by his hands. It was a quick but meaningful kiss, only for him to say "I'm going to fail if I don't get this done."
"Leo!" You push him away from you. "What the hell do you mean, you're going to fail, you've been cooped up in here all summer!"
A sheepish smile and pink-dusted cheeks appear at your sudden outburst, he chuckles nervously knowing he just put the cherry on top of your already bad day. "I've been behind on a couple of assignments and I've finished most of them already, I'm mostly caught up"
"Mostly?" You were going to strangle him. You haven't spent much time together lately because of his homework. He decided to take summer classes to get ahead, and he's been busy ever since. You were constantly teaching the younger campers, and helping out around camp, whether in the infirmary or setting up activities to keep busy and you loved it but you missed your boyfriend. 
"But Nyssa had this project she'd been working on and I couldn't help it."
You rolled your eyes and sighed, you couldn't be upset with him- not completely, you understood how hard it was for Leo to stay focused on a task that wasn't something he could physically tinker with, but there had been moments where you wanted to just be with him in his presence and you stopped yourself from going to him knowing that you'd only be a distraction. 
"I promise this is the only one left," He takes your hand and leads you to sit on a chair then sits in another one next to you. 
"I'm so annoyed with you right now," You snatch the paper and look over the equations. 
An hour and a half into the 50-question work packet, you and Leo moved to the mattress lifted by wooden pallets used for shipping crates. 36 out of 50 equations were done, with work shown, Leo had barely any trouble working on it as he was naturally good with numbers you weren't sure you were needed at all. 
You solved a couple for him when he got bored and started leaving trails of kisses from your cheek to your neck and shoulder, you were sure the answer was right and took a break, though when he pulled out of his dazed and loving state he looked over it and kissed you deeply.
"What was that for?" You asked in a whisper. 
"A reward," He held your chin with his forefinger and thumb, pecking your cheek. "For helping me with my homework."
"Well, if I don't help you get this done, who will?" 
"Malcolm and I are pretty tight," Leo has a deep stare on your lips, his thumb swipes your swollen bottom lip. "You've also got eight of them wrong, Mi Amor." 
"I did nine of them," You did the math- that you weren't good at in your head, piecing together that you indeed sucked. "Why'd you ask me to help you, if you knew that I couldn't do math."
"I wanted to be around you, it's been a while since we've been alone." He toys with the bracelet he gifted you on your first anniversary, five charms for the five years you've been together since you confessed your feelings at age 17 after the war ended. You met at age 15 when Annabeth brought him to camp, and the rest is history. 
"I'm still annoyed at you, you know, just because I've let you kiss me a couple of times doesn't mean-" He cuts you off with another kiss like earlier, catching you off-guard, intense and full of feeling. You immediately kiss back, not having the willpower to not, succumb to the charms he begrudgingly has on you. 
You deepen the kiss by entangling your hands in his hair pulling his impossibly closer, it was a synchronized dance at first, the years of being used to the pattern of each other's kiss being shown in the heavy minutes of your mouths moving together in passion. It soon became heated, teeth clashing, tongues moving sloppily, mouths chasing each other after breaking apart two seconds at a time for breath. 
Leo gently laid you on your back, breaking apart to take off his shirt, the moment it slipped off you brought him down to you, he fit perfectly between your legs. You gasp at the sensation of him grinding against you. He parts his lips from yours, to which you whine softly. He licks a stripe from your neck to your jaw and sucks until he's satisfied with the way you sigh and rock your body up and clutching onto the blades on his shoulders on his back. 
He repeats licking, sucking, and kissing soft kisses as an apology for the spots he bit until you were sore.
You pull away from him and flip your bodies so that you are on top, you grab his wrists and pin them to the top of the pillows to see his reaction and wanting to be in control for a while. You gave him the same treatment and brought your body lower so that you could kiss all over his chest and back up. 
You sat up to breathe fresh air, straddling him and releasing his hands only for him to intertwine his hands with yours and play with your fingers. He bucks his hips up playfully, and you jump slightly, your eyes widen for a second, and your lips turn up in a grin. 
"You've gotten better at not... you know," You hint at the control Leo's gained with his fire powers. Heated makeouts like this were often interrupted by the smell of smoke or his skin feeling feverish. 
He lets go of your hands and places his larger hands on your hips, you ignore the butterflies that flutter in your heart and stomach at the way he rubs up your waist and hips. "My hair was steaming earlier, I was hoping you didn't notice, thankfully you didn't or this would've been awkward."
"It's not awkward when that happens Leo, it's a little funny, to be honest, part of the reason why I love you." You tell him earnestly, "Nothing's awkward with you, you're my best friend." 
"I love you," Leo responds with unwavering eyes on yours. "I'm sorry for the time we lost."
"It's okay, we were just making up for it." 
~~~

never judge a book by its cover
leo valdez x gn!reader
summary: leo assumes that your godly parent is aphrodite.
notes: the reader’s godly parent isn’t specified, but it isn’t aphrodite
also, this is my first (and probably last) fic post and its dedicated to the one and only supersized mcshizzle❤️❤️❤️
“son of hephaestus, huh?” you said as you toured leo through camp half-blood. “we haven’t had one since— since their counselor died in the war last summer.”
“oh.”
“it’s okay. everything’s fine now,” you assured him. “anyway, i think hephaestus kids are awesome. they have all these cool weapons and devices that can pretty much do anything. and of course, very useful against all the monsters.”
you mentioned the monsters if it was a normal occurence, which made leo a bit nervous. monsters? people actually had to fight some things worse than the storm spirits?
you passed a cabin that was fully pink, with flowers growing at the window sills and the smell of perfume filled leo’s lungs.
“cabin ten,” you told him. “aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty.”
when you finished your sentence, leo noticed the girls and guys coming in and out of the cabin were hella good-looking. he found himself involuntarily inching closer and closer to the pink cabin until you snapped your fingers near his ear.
“next cabin,” you said when he came to his senses, but you looked a little amused at him.
“so, your mom’s aphrodite?” leo asked you as you walked.
you frowned at him. “no, she’s not.”
“oh.”
leo assumed that every person who looked good was part of aphodite’s kids, with her being the goddess of beauty and all. and, he couldn’t help but be aware of this, you were really good looking.
you were smirking now. “why’d you assume that i’m an aphrodite kid?”

I Was Lost Within the Darkness but Then I Found You
Summary - Leo Valdez has a nightmare. A chilling nightmare… involving his partner.
Leo Valdez x Demigod!GN!Reader (they/them pronouns used!)
Category - Hurt/Comfort, Fluff, Angst (if you squint)
TW - Use of “Gods” as an exclamation, Canon demigod nightmares… ?
Please let me know if I missed anything!
Contains - Sad Leo™ … but reader fixes that right on up <3
Word count - 516
Author’s Note - I have a few things I need to quickly cover. Firstly, I want to thank everyone for their patience. I am sure I am not the only one to notice my writing’s recent absence. Life has been kind of crazy lately and I appreciate your continued cooperation with me. Secondly, I recommend listening to “Until I Found You” by Stephen Sanchez while reading for full effect :) Finally, I want to thank my Argo III buddies (yes, I know some of you are here…) for getting me pumped up. Without you, this fic would not be here for everyone now! With no further ado, please enjoy!
Tumblr media
A soft but repetitive knock on the door woke Y/N. Thank the gods their siblings were all away for the winter or they would have had a full-blown mutiny on their hands. Grasping around their nightstand for their alarm clock, it took them a moment to recover the elusive item. When discovered, it assaulted their eyeballs with a vengeful glare of light. Guess it didn't want to be disturbed, either. Huh, Y/N thought, join the club.
3:28 in the morning. Yeah, they weren't too pleased about that.
Throwing the warm, tight covers off of themselves, fully prepared to spar with whoever decided to interfere with the delicate work of Hypnos, Y/N whipped open the door. Immediately, all their anger washed off them in a tsunami wave.
There was their boyfriend, Leo Valdez. Shaking like a leaf in the slight draft allowed through the magical barrier of Camp Half-Blood. Overall, not their favorite sight.
"Oh, my Gods!" Y/N exclaimed, grabbing the frozen boy by the shoulder and pulling him in.
"I was outside the door," was all he managed to mumble.
"Yeah, I could see that," All humor disappeared from Y/N's face at the look on Leo's.
"What's wrong?" They were suddenly on guard.
"I- Um, I..." Leo trailed off as a violent shudder racked over him.
"Oh, Gods, c'mere!" Within seconds, Leo was sat cross-legged on his partner's bed, wrapped up burrito-style in the fluffiest blanket Y/N could steal off one of their half-sibling's beds. Y/N sat in front of him.
Immediately, he collapsed into their arms.
"I had a nightmare," he sniffled. "I couldn't figure out where to go."
Y/N placed a solid kiss on his forehead before responding.
"You know you can come here right away," they pouted dotingly.
"I... couldn't," he struggled out. "It was about you."
"What..." Y/N took a deep breath to compose themself. "What did I do?"
"Not what you did... what was done to you," Leo emphasized.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Y/N cooed.
"No..." Leo moved for the first time in minutes, shaking his head vigorously.
Y/N shushed him to calm down, rubbing their hands up and down his arms comfortingly.
"Please, can you just... sing to me?" Leo requested, voice dipping to an all-time low.
Y/N agreed eagerly. As they helped arrange for Leo to lie against their pillow, they admired him. Even in his weakened state, he trusted them. They knew his past. They knew that having his trust was no laughing matter. He knew they intended to honor it.
Leo snuggled close to their warmth. He nuzzled his face into the crook of their neck and allowed them to wrap their arms around his waist.
They could feel Leo's breath slow as they began, their whispered tone making the intimate scene feel like home. At least, that's how Leo felt.
"Leo," Y/N hummed. "Wrap me up in all your-"
"I want you in my arms," Leo added.
"Oh, let me hold you."
That is exactly what they did.
I'll never let you go again...

Times in the Wilderness
Rumours (Screw You, Dylan)
Piper mentally cursed herself as she wandered down the corridor, the skinny boy fidgeting and shuffling next to her. Stupid, stupid, Piper. Why did she have to grab his hand!?
Ms.Loraine had told her he might not like touch. Especially not sudden touch. Or sudden noises. Or loud noises. Or personal questions. Or people sneaking up on him. Especially at night.
She checked them off one by one, yup, she'd done all of them- except for the sneaking up part.
Stupid, stupid Piper.
She didn't know exactly what had happened to him- but she knew it was much, much more serious than what she- and many others- were here for. But it was fine. Okay so he hadn't spoken a word to her the entire time and okay so maybe he only looked her in the eyes like, twice. But it had only been half an hour. There was still time- he'd open up eventually. She just hoped her friends would be okay with him.
"Do you have any allergies?" She asked, trying to force herself to sound calm and quiet.
Leo looked surprised at the improvement, or at least, what she hoped was an improvement. He shook his head mutely.
She should really figure out a way to get him to talk.
"Do you have a favourite food? You know, something that reminds you of home?"
Leo froze immediately, sucked in a breath, closed his eyes for a few seconds, and shook his head. If possible, he looked even more uncomfortable than before.
No personal questions! She scolded herself- though she couldn't really imagine why such a simple small-talk one had made him panic.
She pushed the door into the dining room and led Leo around with a tray after waving a quick hi to her friends. He skipped over most of the options, till she was worried he might not take anything at all- but he put a bit onto his plate.
No wonder he looks so skinny.
He glanced at her warily, as if reading her mind.
She started talking again. "Today we have a special treat! Since it's Friday, it's fried drumstick day! I don't eat it since I'm vegetarian, but everyone says it's SO good. You should try it."
But he had that weird look on his face, as if she'd poked at a sensitive topic again, and his face was slightly going green, so she started talking again. Good Lord did she have nothing else to do?! "Or don't. Let's go sit down!"
Michelle, a pale Russian girl with beautiful green eyes and strawberry blond hair, patted the seat next to her. Her three other friends glanced up and smiled before going back to what they were doing.
"Hey, Pipes! We wondered where you were."
"Hey Midge, this is Leo, he's new here and I'm his guide. He's gonna sit with us for a while, k?"
Dylan, Michelle's boyfriend, looked up from his plate stacked high with chicken and sauce. "Are you that kid with all the rumors flying around?"
Piper glared at him, of course he had rumors about him already. Dylan pointedly ignored her. The statement had piqued the curiosity of everyone around the table though, and they were now looking at Dylan and Leo expectantly.
Screw you, Dylan.
"You know, about murdering four people?"
What!? What sort of nonsense was that!? As if the timid elf next to her could ever kill someone!
"Oh yeah. TJ said he heard someone say he'd run away from six foster homes after his mom abandoned him when he was a baby. Isn't that right, TJ?" The raven-haired girl, Ashley, elbowed the black guy sitting next to her, her boyfriend, TJ.
Piper glanced at Leo. He looked paler than usual, but there was a furious, slightly psychotic glint in his eyes.
She gave a pointed cough.
"Oops, sorry." They didn't sound very sorry.
"So Leo, this is Dylan. He's in Year 12. That's TJ. Ashley's the one with black eyes. This is Michelle, but we call her Midge. Jackson's practicing basketball in the field. He'll come here soon. Dylan and him are both in Year 12, even though Jackson is still 17, so they'll be sharing Math and Physics with you!"
Leo looked less than enthusiastic about that prospect.
"He's in Year 12 for Math and Physics?" TJ piped up. "He barely looks like a 12 year old, man. You sure he's 15?"
She rolled her eyes. Why else would he be in their grade?
"Hey!" She heard a voice call, and she turned around in her seat to see Jackson striding towards them. His light brown hair was wet from a shower and his matching brown eyes twinkled as he grinned at them.
"You're gaping," Midge giggled.
Her crush on him wasn't really a big secret. She shoved her away playfully and waved back at the boy as he came to sit down. The only empty seat was next to Leo, and he promptly sat down in it, giving Leo a once over.
"This is Leo," Piper rushed. "He's new. Leo, this is Jackson."
He raised his hand a bit in greeting and Jackson gave him his winning smile again.
"This little guy in our Year?" He gave a good-natured laugh. "I bet the teachers will be pointing him to Year 5 when he comes in for a couple weeks."
Leo reddened slightly, fidgeting in his seat as he pushed his hand in his pockets.
"Why'd you come here anyway? What abominable criminal act did you do that made your poor, worried, filthy rich parents sob to phsycologists about being horrible parents before sending you to this hellhole?"
She laughed. That was exactly what had happened to her. A bit exaggerated, but he got the gist of it.
Leo said nothing, his fingers tapping a rhythm on his knee.
"He mute?"
"Just a bit quiet."
"Ah."
The bell rang, and Leo flinched, before getting up from his seat.
"I better go introduce him to the teacher," Piper smiled. "See you guys in class!"
Leo got up and tried to walk away so fast that he tripped. Jackson reached out and steadied him as a few kids snickered.
"Woah, easy there, tiger."
Leo looked slightly sick as he emptied his mostly untouched plate into the bin. Is he feeling faintish? She wondered worriedly. Or maybe he was just tired. He looked like the walking dead anyway.
"We have English, Math, and languages. I picked Spanish. There's also French, Chinese, and German. You can pick one even if you're already fluent in it. Its much easier."
"Spanish..." He mumbled so quietly that she almost didn't hear.
She grinned, wide. "That's the first time I've heard you speak you know."
Things would be great.
@im-always-lost-in-a-book thank u so much for the feedback😊. This is my first long fanfiction so it means a lot❤

Heroes of Olympus told from Octavian's perspective, following his potential train of thought starting from Jason's disappearance. Because Reyna was the last person to see Jason before he was gone, and Octavian is the only one who realizes how suspicious that is.
Not my fic but one of my favorite Octavian centric stories!

THE SON OF THE WINDS| Jason | 2/?? | 1/5
ALL | PREVIOUS |...| NEXT
"Hey dude. Is everything okay?" Leo asked me as I looked over the spreadsheet. I could barely understand it "..no. Not really" I admitted while looking around. "I can not remember anything about here.. Or you or Piper.." I didn't notice my breath getting shaky and Leo sighed "Don't blame ya'. Dylan's prank went.. too far. Maybe your brains trying to block it out dude. Sure you're smart enough to skip three grades but you're still a little kid" he ruffled my hair and I felt myself blushing with pure embarrassment.
"I'm not that small!" I complained like I'd known Leo for months, but something within me told me this was all fabricated by something higher up. I couldn't tell why.
"You're thirteen." he said deadpanned, we'd already forgotten the Dylan thing. We both started laughing at the shape of a rock, it felt so nice. I'd even forgotten I had absolutely no idea who Leo was. A wind storm started picking up, and Coach Edge told us to go inside the bus. Everyone was running so fast, I tripped. That's when I saw Piper being surrounded by.. something. I put my hand inside my pocket, took out a coin and flipped it. Down fell a bow, I grabbed it, aimed and shot. It gave Leo enough time to drag Piper into the bus and I was following, until I heard that voice. "CURSE YOU SON OF THE WINDS!"
I turned just in time to see Coach Edge kick a wind spirit. I instinctively recognize them now upclose. "Inside. Now." he told me and I listened. So we were all locked inside the bus as the storm got worse and worse. Coach Edge nowhere to be seen.

lines in the sand • ch 1/? • updates every other wednesday (ish)
"I should've saved her," Percy whispers. It feels good to admit it, even if it also feels far too vulnerable, even now, even after all of them have seen him scream at the sky and curse the gods. Nico is silent for a long moment. "I don't think she'd want you to regret it," he says finally, "I think- I think she would be glad you survived." "We should've both made it." Nico doesn't say anything. "We should've both made it," Percy repeats, fingers clenching around the edge of the dock, "And if not both of us, then she should've. She deserved it, deserved a fucking life. College in New Rome, a home, and a family, and a life not on the run." "She did," Nico agrees, an odd strain in his voice, "But the gods don't give those things easily." "Damn the gods," Percy says.

Do any of you ever wonder if Camp Half-Blood accidentally brought in a demigod of a different pantheon before?
This would be especially hilarious if it happens sometime after The Last Olympian/Heroes of Olympus, where the gods are required to claim their kids quickly.
A whole day passes, and the new demigod needs to sleep in the Hermes Cabin and Percy is furious. Meanwhile, the Greek Gods are pointing at each other and shouting, contacting the most obscure of mini gods. Chaos erupts on Olympus as every deity in Greek Mythology is called upon and interrogated. Hermes hasn't run around so much in centuries.
Hecate sits in silence, fully aware of what's happening, but enjoying the show too much to intervene.

Nico: You really put aside everything and came all this way for me? How did you even get here so fast? Percy: Several traffic violations. Jason: Three counts of resisting arrest. Leo: Roughly thirteen cans of energy drinks. Frank: Also, that’s not our car.

ALL DA LADIES LUV LEO! — [leo valdez dating headcanons]
author's note: i am ladies. where's my irl leo...wtf.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you and LEO VALDEZ are the definition of “if you do it, i’ll do it.” (a VERY common phrase in your relationship)
istg this guy is down to do ANYTHING. you wanna play dress-up and do his makeup? go ahead. you wanna participate in some cheesy couple trend? of course! he’d do anything to make you happy <3 (even if it means ruining his dignity) 
leo has so much love for you, and he is NOT afraid to show it. he for sure owns a million different variations of the “i ❤️my girlfriend” tee-shirt. he’s worn them so much that even chiron and mr. d stopped pestering him for not wearing the chb shirt 😭 
y’know that one topic you could talk about for hours on end? yeah, well you’re the topic leo could talk about for hours on end. you always feel bad for the unfortunate new camper who decides to ask “who’s on your shirt?” it always ends in them making an excuse to get out of the conversation. 
some may say he’s obsessed…i just call it the bare minimum!! 🤗
leo absolutely LIVES for your little gossip sessions. he’s not one of those bf’s who will try to give actual advice on how to handle the situation,, he’s the type to fully shit talk the person with you 😭 you guys are literally the “she’s also ugly…” audio and i know for a fact you guys have made a video using it LMFAO
he also has the entire timeline memorized. he could tell you exactly what month, what day, and what time so and so wronged you if you asked 😭 leo’s absolutely invested and will ask for updates every so often. 
considering how leo spends so much of his time in bunker 9, it’s almost your second home at this point. you can’t even begin to count how many times you’ve fallen asleep sitting with him as he’s worked on a project. but leo always carries you to bed! there’s no way he could allow his girlfriend to wake up with a sore neck! 
speaking of bunker 9, leo keeps a bulletin board full of photos with you and all your friends next to his workbench! when working on a particularly hard project, he’ll look over at the photos for some motivation. 
there’s nothing better than successfully convincing leo to come to bed, especially during those cold winter nights. he’s basically a big heater that can walk and talk. and leo’s super duper big on cuddling so it’s even better. why invest in a heater when you have him? 
LMFAO it’s so funny when it’s summer and he’s basically on his knees begging for cuddles 😭 it’s only then that he curses his strangely high body temperature.  
i also think it’s canon that leo’s a good cook…?? so you’re always eating good with him!! he just loves seeing your reaction to his food, especially when it’s your cultural food. leo knows how important it is to you and to know he could provide some semblance of what you grew up with, it makes him beyond happy. 
when you give him hugs from behind while he’s cooking >>> 
he melts every single time.
omg. breakfast in bed with leo. him shirtless wearing an apron that says “kiss the cook” while bringing you a plate with all your favorite breakfast foods <33 
pda king 🙏🙏 he loves pda, but not in the gross, obnoxious way. leo’s obviously smart enough to know when it’s the right time and place. 
he’s also really big on “splitting the pole” LMFAO 😭 if you’re walking down the street and a street sign is in the way he will literally pull you to his side while screaming, “don’t split the pole!” babes…it’s not that serious 🤒
his love languages are words of affirmations and acts of service. there’s nothing better than coming home to cuddle with you as you whisper sweet nothings into his ear after a long day. he really values all your thoughts and opinions, so it means so much to him when you say these things. 
when it comes to you, leo’s so incredibly supportive with everything you do. the minute you even slightly hint about picking up a new hobby, he’s already encouraging you to do it. 
he gets so upset when he gets those “these initials are soulmates” videos and your initials aren’t together 😭 one time you woke up to an entire essay-length text from him explaining why you two are extremely compatible in response to a video that said “these initials aren’t compatible” 
leo’s VERY attentive, especially when it comes to you. at this point, it’s like he knows you better than you know yourself. he always knows what you’re gonna say simply by your reaction. his brain literally goes “oh her right eyebrow raised slightly, i think she likes it!” and he ends up being right too.. 😭
or when he goes shopping without you and he sees something he thinks you’d like, and it ends up being something you’ve been wanting for the past few weeks?? at this point he might be reading your mind…
this also makes him the best gift giver ever! it could’ve been something you barely mentioned before bed, but he made a point to remember it and surprises you with it. 
he also likes to make you little gadgets that you never would’ve even thought of but are so helpful. one day you walk into your bathroom and leo’s sitting there polishing his newest project, and he tells you it’s a towel heater he made for you??? 
leo absolutely loves your family and will do everything in his power to build a close relationship with them. he knows how happy it makes you and he also just genuinely enjoys their company too! ooh and if you have siblings, especially if they’re younger, he just adores them to death…UGH he’s so so good with kids. 
whenever he buys you flowers, he also buys some for your mom too!! and considering his mechanic skills, he loves to work with your dad with his car/whatever needs fixing around the house  😭😭 your parents basically treat him like their own son and leo feels so incredibly lucky to have you guys in his life. 
this guy’s your #1 hype man + your personal tripod. when he’s taking your picture he’s literally screaming compliments behind the camera while suggesting poses for you to do 😭 he’s just so silly like that! and then when you post it, he’s up in the comments like “i took these where’s my credit  🤨🤨” 
you guys are at each other’s cabins so often that no one’s ever fazed when you’re at the door. they’re just like “who’s at the door?” “just y/n again.” 
and his siblings absolutely love you to death. they see how happy you make him and they love you for it. but they’re also strangely protective of you too. when you and leo get into those rare arguments they’re always like “what’d you do this time  🤨?” to him LMAO 
ugh but your younger siblings and his younger siblings all look up to you guys like you’re the pinnacle of love. it’s genuinely so sweet,, they always talk about how they want a relationship like you two when they’re older 
dancing in the refrigerator light but in bunker 9 under his workbench light.
i like to believe that leo always has music playing when he works, so when a good dancing song comes on, he’ll drop whatever he’s doing to dance with you. 
sometimes it’ll be a song where you guys are just silently slow dancing together or it’s a song that has you two jumping up and down going crazy. the duality of his playlist! 
i just KNOW that at some point in your relationship, leo makes you a promise ring gjkdslfsl and i bet the stone has some sort of significance to you guys.
sometimes when you can’t wear it on your finger, you’ll string it onto your chb necklace and he just gets so giddy knowing that you care that much about it 😣
SPEAKING THROUGH MORSE CODE WITH HIM?? specifically when you’re in bed, both are too tired to talk, so you feel him tap “i love you” against your skin and you send the message back. 
can we all collectively agree that leo is like the most perfect boyfriend ever?? 😍😍 thanks!

A Late Night Escapade
Times in the Wilderness
"Psst, Leo, hey," a soft voice whispered in his ear, making him sit up so fast that his forehead banged against something.
"Ow!" The voice hissed, mumbling something under its breath as it moved a few paces away, rubbing its forehead.
"Piper?" Leo squinted through the dark, trying to make out the shape standing in front of his bed.
"C'mon, up, up, up!" She ordered, and Leo found himself standing, even though his throbbing head and heavy eyes begged him not to.
"What are you doing? Where's Jason? It's-" He paused to look at the clock, "half past midnight!" He finished.
"I'll explain later, cmon, let's go."
"Wait but what about Jason?" He asked turning to look at the back of the blond boy sleeping on the bed next to him.
"I'll explain later," she repeated, and dragged him out into the hall.
He squinted at the sudden harsh light and stumbled after Piper, who was power-walking down the hallway in her purple PJs. She finally stopped in front of the kitchen door, and leaned in to whisper, "Keep watch."
"Wha- Piper!"
But she slipped the door shut and dissapeared.
It took seven minutes and forty two seconds and a moderate amount of crashing and swearing noises from inside before Piper came out again.
"What's that?" Leo asked, pointing at the cardboard box she was precariously carrying in her arms.
"I'll explain later," she repeated. Leo was getting really sick of those words.
"Can you at least tell me where you're going?"
"We. Where we're going," she said firmly, then, "to the attic."
Leo had found the attic one day when he was exploring (for spots to hide from bullies). It was where all the students' suitcases were kept, and students weren't allowed in, but kids snuck in from time to time. However, no one wandered far from the trapdoor. It was dark and dusty there- and people usually left as soon as they could. But the space ran over the entire school building, and was filled with many passages and small rooms- Leo was always finding new areas.
He'd finally found a large room a few months back, after crawling through two passages and climbing up holes, and he estimated that it was right above the cafeteria. The best part was, it had a tiny window. So of course he'd dragged Piper (Jason hadn't come yet) and made her clean the entire place with him. They'd hauled up a few yoga mats from the gym, and Leo had filled it up with odd machine parts- so many that Piper hardly came up anymore, and that was only to call him down or to sit in the corner for a while talking. It was very secret, and took six weeks of knowing Jason before he finally let him in.
"OK...is this a midnight food fest...?"
"Shh!"
Leo groaned quietly, feeling pissed. If she insisted on dragging him into his creepy attic at midnight with a suspicious box under her arm, he at least deserved to know what the heck was going on. Plus, Piper was acting weirdly out of character.
"Go up. I'll hand you the box once you're through. Be careful."
After a lot more swearing and shoving and shouts of "protect that box with your life, Leo!", plus a super fun bucketful of crawling and avoiding rat shit, they finally reached the room.
"Wait here." She grabbed the box from him with a hypocritical amount of violence.
"Wha- Piper- it's dark!" He protested as Piper went through the door, but the lamp she'd turned on in the room was casting a glow into the hallway, and he was never one to disobey the orders of people he actually cared about, so he waited. It wasn't so bad, really.
Well it wasn't...until the lamp went out.
The shadows seemed to elongate, and he couldn't hear Piper moving around inside anymore. He couldn't stop his mind flashing back to a long gone workshop. It was bigger, and didn't smell like decayed wood and rat droppings, but the similarities were surprisingly eerie.
"Piper?" He called as loudly as he dared, trying to block out his eight year old voice calling "Mom?" Into the creepy darkness. Maybe his voice had sounded more scared than he had wanted it to, but, he thought as Piper immediately came back through the door, he couldn't really make himself regret it.
"Oops, sorry, kiddo. Come on in." And she ducked back in through the door.
"God seriously, Piper? What is going ON with you?" He asked, following her into the dark room. "And 'kiddo'?"
But Piper had somehow dissapeared. Again.
Could there be a secret opening in here that he'd never noticed? Impossible. The mashed potatoes in the cafeteria probably had a virus planted in it by an alien from pluto that was making him hallucinate. He'd probably imagined Piper coming to his dorm. Heck maybe she'd never been real to begin with. Maybe Jason wasn't real either. Or wait- maybe HE was the alien. He should've known no one could be that nice in real life.
"What's he doing?"
"Is he in shock?"
"Maybe the ADHD-"
"In three, two-"
"Wait not yet."
"Hurry. He'll snap out of it soon."
"OK, done."
Leo barely had time to register the not-very-subtle whispers before everything turned ridiculously bright. Well not too bright to cause a sensory overload, but still. Bright.
"Wait what I haven't-"
"SUPRISE!" Piper burst out from behind a table and pushed a party hat onto his head, effectively giving him a minor heart attack.
"Happy Birthday?" Jason half yelled, half asked, as he emerged too, frantically trying to fix his lopsided hat.
"Wait what?"
"It's your birthday and you didn't even TELL us!? Really Leo!? If I hadn't seen that file in the principal's office-" Piper started, still having that huge grin fixed on her face.
"You're turning 15! We thought you were our age, Leo! Anyway, you like the decorations? You guys turned up sooner than I expected so it's a bit...well, you know...sorry..."
"Oh, oh, that's, um-" he fumbled for words, feeling tears blur his vision. It was his birthday today? He hadn't even noticed! And they'd- they'd- they'd decorated! And bought party hats! "Ta-da!" Piper threw open the cake box, grinning wildly as Leo took in the simple chocolate cake decorated with oreos, whipped cream, and a lot of randomly placed pieces of chocolate by a clearly inexperienced hand.
He felt a few tears slide down his cheeks.
"Piper- Piper I think he's crying. Dude, are you crying?" Jason asked, starting to sound panicked.
"Huh?"
"I'm so-rr-yyy," he sniffled, "I'm being such a party pooper." He rubbed at his snotty nose and gave a sloppy laugh.
His friends seem to grab onto it like drowning sailors clinging to a buoy. Piper started laughing, and was nervously followed by Jason.
"This is, this is so-"
"Oh my god please don't tell me you hate it."
"No! No! Oh my god this is the sweetest thing anyone's ever done for me! I love you guys so muchhh" He was crying in earnest now, and someone had helped him sit down in a chair.
"Aw, we love you too!" Piper assured him, wrapping her arms around him in a tight hug.
Jason knelt down next to them a gave him a one armed squeeze. "You're amazing. You deserve it, seriously, man."
"Man? Dude he's 15! He's just a baby!"
"Wow ok-" Leo started to wipe away his tears.
"Cut the cake! Cut the cake!" They chanted eagerly, and he noticed that they'd avoided lighting a candle. He wasn't sure if it was because they'd remembered his fire-phobia, or because they had a spark of common sense that made them realise that the attic would probably catch flames and burn down the entire school, but he was glad. No fire would ruin tonight.
Nothing would ruin tonight. He was happy here, surrounded and protected by the only people he loved and the only people who loved him back.
Everything was perfect.
"C'mon, make a wish!"
There wasn't a candle, but Leo still closed his eyes, and he wished that his nightmares were a lie, that nothing he'd seen would ever actually happen and hurt his friends, and he wished-
"You're talking a huge while to make that wish, kid. Just one, remember?"
He wished that everything would stay exactly the same.

Get Her Back!
Clarisse La Rue x Daughter of Athena!Reader
One-shot
Summary: You and Clarisse have always had a reputation for the rollercoaster you both called your relationship. While on another one of your "breaks," you decide you want to mess with her
Warning(s): Swearing, Clarisse & r are hella toxic, jealousy (on both ends but mostly jealous!Clarisse), making out (nothing more is hinted at, just Clarisse & r kissing like the problematic girlfriends they are), & arguing
Notes: Wooo this one got a bit heated before I knew it. Hope you enjoy
Tumblr media
You and Clarisse La Rue… how does one sum up your relationship with the Ares kid? You and her were known for being on and off, arguing almost as much as you made out. You were both in a toxic, heated, yet passionate, relationship. 
Oh, how you loved each other. 
You met Clarisse the first summer you got to camp. It didn’t take long for you to discover what you had gotten yourself into. She argued with you about everything, she had an ego and a temper and a wandering eye; you couldn’t help but be attracted to her, even when she was so obviously lying about her height. 
The first time you left Clarisse was in the spring, that was when your current dynamic truly started. You lasted about a week before you were back in her arms, forgetting how you threw all her stolen clothes out your cabin’s window just a few nights before. 
You were currently going through another one of your breaks with Clarisse while you laid down on your bed, reading as you tried to ignore another little lecture from your friend. 
“All I’m saying is that I don’t understand why you stay with her, you know? The second my boyfriend did me wrong, I kicked his ass out the door. For good,” he said, sitting at the end of your bed.
“That’s because you didn’t have what me and Clarisse have,” you responded, looking up at him from your book. He shrugged, mumbling, “Whatever.” 
“Do you love or hate her? I honestly can’t tell anymore. One second, she’s the worst human being to ever exist but then the next, she’s the love of your life, the woman you’re gonna marry.”
“I guess it’s up and down,” you replied in a nonchalant tone before looking back at your book.
He lightly chuckled, shaking his head a bit as he said, “I need to learn when to give up trying to figure you out.”
Later that night was the bonfire. You didn’t really feel like attending but your friend had basically begged you to go. Just five minutes in, and he was already flirting with a girl from cabin ten. You were staring off into the fire, red solo cup in your hand, when you suddenly heard somebody sit next to you. You turned your head to see a dark haired boy, looking at you with a smile as he spoke.
“Hey gorgeous, I’m Steve. I think I’ve seen you around before. Athena cabin, right?” He asked, his eyes never pulling from you. You didn’t feel like entertaining him. You weren’t stupid, you knew he was flirting with you. But thoughts of not reciprocating his flirtatious attitude quickly disappear when you see Clarisse watching from the corner of your eyes. 
All night you had to watch Clarisse cuddle up with someone who wasn’t you. And all night you refused to give her the attention you knew she was hoping to get out of it, your pride and stubbornness wouldn’t allow you to. So when you finally get the chance for that sweet revenge, you don't hesitate.
You looked at the boy next to you, putting on a sweet smile and placing a hand on his knee. “Yeah, cabin six. What about you?” You slightly tilted your head, looking at him as if he was the most interesting person on earth.
“Hermes cabin,” he responded. He suddenly grew a bit shy under touch, but welcomed it nevertheless. “Hey do you uh… wanna get out of here? I know this cool spot I could show you.” You knew what that was code for; do you want to make out?
“Sure, sounds good,” you winked at him before getting up. He held his hand out for you, which you took as you both began to walk away from the fire. Clarisse's eyes were on you the whole time, clenching her jaw as she watched you walk with him hand in hand. She ignored her siblings’ confused looks as she walked over to you before you and Steve could go any further.
“I think she’s good here,” she said—not asked.
“Um, I think she can make her own decisions. She’s a big girl, if she wants to go, she can go,” he responded. 
“I don’t know who you think you are, but she’s not leaving with you.” She glared at the boy with storms in her eyes, her fists balled up. By now your hands were separated from the boy’s, watching the entertaining scene in front of you with a knowing look on your face.
“Excuse me–” Before he could get himself into any more trouble, you walked to Clarisse’s side—she instantly put her hand on your lower back.
“Listen it was nice meeting you Steve, but she’s right; I should really get going; it’s getting kinda late.” You gave him a fake apologetic look. “Maybe I’ll see you around some other time?” You managed to get out as Clarisse was practically dragging you away. 
“What’s your problem?” You said to her when you both finally made it to the cabin—her cabin. 
“My problem? What’s yours! You know Steve is a douchebag, we were literally laughing about it last week,” Clarisse let out with an aggravated tone. 
“Why do you care so much? Shouldn’t you be thrilled that somebody else is stuck with my high maintenance ass!” She only rolled eyes, shaking her head. “Yeah, you really think I wouldn’t bring that up!” You dryly laughed.
“Oh my Gods,” she mumbled before continuing. “You are the most frustrating woman I have ever met!”
“And you’re the most hot-tempered woman I have ever met!” You shouted back, throwing your hands up as you stepped closer to her. “You’re a hot-headed asshole!”
“Well it’s better than being a stubborn know-it-all!” She took a step towards you; your faces were now no more than inches apart. You both stole a glance at the other’s lip before a moment of silence. Suddenly, your lips connected. She was firmly gripping your waist while one of your hands found itself in her hair as the other held the back of her neck.
“I fucking hate you,” you mumbled breathless against her lips. She pushed you up against the cabin door; Gods, you didn’t even care that you were still outside and anybody could just walk by.
“I fucking hate you too.” Her kissing was hungry, passionate. Blood was rushing through veins, your cheeks were warm, and butterflies had erupted in your stomach. You could feel Clarisse feeling for the door's handle for a few seconds before you reached behind you to turn it.
You both went inside, Clarisse kicking the door shut. You could feel her warm touch as her hand grazed the skin of your lower back. She walked you backwards toward her bed, never daring to pull away. 
“Fuck, I love you,” you let out as Clarisse moved down to your neck.
“I love you too, don’t you forget it,” she murmurs against you. 
Clarisse La Rue may have been narcissistic, stubborn, hot-headed, and pretentious, but you were your mother’s daughter, so maybe you could fix her.
-----------
A/N: she could abuse me, beat the dog-shit outta me, cheat on me, hit me with her car
