Reyna: I’ve been dropping them the most insanely obvious hints for like a year now. No response.
Jason : Wow. They sound stupid.
Reyna: But they’re not. They’re really smart actually. Just dense.
Jason: Maybe you need to be more obvious? Like, I don’t know… “Hey! I love you!”
Reyna: I guess you’re right. Hey Jason , I love you.
Jason: See! Just say that!
Reyna: Holy...
Jason: If that flies over their head then, sorry Reyna, but they're too dumb for you.
Reyna: Jason .

I am the world's last Jeyna shipper. I am one of those soldiers who never heard WWII was over and was hiding in the jungle. I understand that canon has moved on but I refuse to surrender. I don't even need the ship itself to be canon, could be totally platonic I don't care but as a matter of principle it has to be maintained.
Jason just flat out ditching Romans never sat right with me. All those backstory hints in TLH ignored. His history comepletely irrelevant. Not once do we see him interact with any old friends who are not otherwise involved. Oh I'm sorry he had never really felt at home at Camp Jupiter than why was he part of the swap. Ooh la la Pontifex Maximus I don't care he should have been the Roman's Roman. They got left with Frank and Hazel who will be great don't get me wrong but they aren't very expirienced as the quest starts. Jason is the only Old Hand who could have countered Percebeth on the Argo 2.
Look as I said above I don't actually need Reyna to wind up with Jason. But...like...something on their backstory. I mean they toppled the Throne of Saturn. Why was she of all people raised alongside him after they were victorious? But nope Romans get screwed over. I also don't like her joining the Hunt. I just don't like the implications of a woman who doesn't want to get involved with romance having to withdraw from the world entirely. Why can't she just be praetor and not have romance.
In conclusion I am the world's last Jason x Reyna shipper who also doesn't actually ship them in particular.

Will forever be MAD about the fact that Jeyna would definitely worked out if it weren't for Hera, and also HOW TRAGIC THEIR STORY IS. OKAY SO HEAR ME OUT.......
Okay so it was mentioned that Reyna and Jason went on quests together. questS that's plural. so, u cannot tell me that during those quests they did not LOOK INTO EACH OTHERS EYES or HELD EACH OTHER WHILE ON THE BRINK OF DEATH AND FELT SOMETHING. THEY WERE PRAETORS TOGETHER SIDE BY SIDE, LEADING CAMP JUPITER FOR MONTHS, YOU CANNOT TELL ME THAT THERE ISN'T A MOMENT WHEN THINGS ARE TOO HEAVY AND THEY DEPEND ON EACH OTHER. U CANNOT TELL ME JASON DIDN'T COMFORTED REYNA WHEN SHE'S SO STRESSED AND REYNA BEING PROUD OF HIM.
Tumblr media
Reyna is good at hiding her feelings but FOR SURE Jason can see through it. That's why he knew that Reyna doesn't like to be called by her real name, heck Jason knew HER FULL NAME. And the thing is, Jeyna has only been together for months (unlike Percabeth whose been together and doing quests for years, ig that's why their love for each other is so strong that not even Hera can manipulate it) so, i think that Jeyna are still figuring out what it was that they really feel for each other. then Hera came and wiped out his memories, and wakes up next to Piper with the idea that okay that's my girlfriend, so why not? HE DOESN'T REMEMBER ALL OF THOSE LITTLE IMPORTANT MOMENTS THAT HE AND REYNA HAD, so ig that's why he settled with Piper.
Tumblr media
AND WHAT HURTS MORE is that Reyna's memories isn't wiped SO SHE REMEMBERS EVERY SINGLE LITTLE THING THAT SHE AND JASON WENT THROUGH. SHE REMEMBERS HOW SMART JASON IS, HOW HE CARED FOR HER, HOW THEY MANAGED THE CAMP TOGETHER, EVEN THE SMALL HAND TOUCHES (which I'm pretty sure they had, u cannot tell me otherwise) SHE REMEMBERS E V E R Y T H I N G. REYNA KNEW THE REAL JASON AND HAS BEEN WITH HIM, THAT'S WHY SHE FELL FOR HIM. THAT'S WHY SHE'S YEARNING, THAT'S WHY SHE'S HURT SEEING THIS GUY SHE LONGED FOR COMING BACK WITH SOMEBODY ELSE. You cannot tell me that while seeing Jason w Piper, Reyna didn't recall all of the moments she and Jason had and it sucks that he doesn't remember any of it.. BUT SHE DOES. and he's happy now so what's the point or trying to ruin that, so she suffered in silence instead. I know a lot of people blame Jason for not noticing Reyna but I just now realized that it's not mainly his fault, his memories was wiped and wakes up with the idea that he's in love with someone else and settles for that. Hera and Aphrodite is just threatened by them cuz JEYNA TOGETHER WOULD BE UNSTOPPABLE LET ALONE IF THEY LED CAMP JUPITER TOGETHER.
Tumblr media
edit:
just wanted to add, I'M PRETTY SURE REYNA IS READY TO TELL JASON HOW SHE FEELS WHEN SHE FOUND OUT HE WAS COMING BACK. YOU CANNOT TELL ME THAT HER HEART DIDN'T DO A SUMMERSAULT WHEN SHE SAW A BLOND BOY WHEN THE ARGO II WAS ARRIVING. then suddenly he comes down with a girl and stares at her like he barely remembers her (which he probably do 🥲💔)
with this, I'm 89% sure that Reyna threw the brick :))
thanks for coming to my Jeyna talk :))

bonding with reyna over unrequited feelings (& falling for each other)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: reyna avila ramirez-arellano x gn!reader (+ jason grace)
tags: unrequited feelings (for jason), fluff, idiots in love
Tumblr media
both you and reyna were in love with jason grace. and everyone in camp knew it, except him
but now that jason returned to camp jupiter after presumably being vanished, he had a new girl on his side
a daughter of aphrodite. she was so pretty that neither you or reyna could compete with her
the two of you knew that it was best to give up on him
and since you were both going through the same thing, it was easy to talk to each other
you were talking about what made you fall in love with jason in the first place, how you had planned to tell him about your feelings and how you felt when he vanished
those things you usually kept to yourself you now told each other
you were vulnerable with each in a way you hadn't been with anyone before
and suddenly, you weren't just talking about jason anymore
suddenly you told each other anything that was on your mind
after a while, nobody even mentioned jason anymore
though you did wonder if reyna was over him already. if she was maybe ready for a new relationship by now…
you didn't dare to ask her though
if she still had feelings for jason and you confessed to her, this would get really awkward
and you really didn't want to lose reyna. you had never felt this close to anyone before and you dreaded what it would be like without her
if only you knew that reyna felt the same way
that she was worrying if you still liked jason or if you were even into girls at all!
she decided to wait for you to make the first move. but you were waiting for her as well…

Jason Grace Headcanons!
asks are open if you want other characters <3
He uses bluelight glasses for his computer.
He taught Leo how to tie a tie.
He likes classic music. Like, if you can call it 'classic' in any way, shape or form, he likes it. (classical piano, classic rock, etc.)
Reyna was his first kiss because they kissed just to say they had done it.
Chronic headaches. No arguing.
He and Reyna mildly abused the position of praetor to get Octavian to shut up.
He's asexual for sure, possibly biromantic. Maybe demiromantic, but I couldn't tell you for certain.
His favorite Taylor Swift era is 1989, favorite song is New Romantics.
He was scared of ducks when he was like, five.
5SOS, One Direction, and OneRepublic. That's it.
ignoring ToA- he, Piper, and Leo all went to a Conan Gray concert because Piper somehow got great tickets for dirt cheap and she wanted one last hurrah before she moved to Oklahoma.
He has to wear an ankle brace sometimes because he broke it when he was like, 14 and it got better, but it hurts when he gets really stressed.
He would've loved Renegades by Marissa Meyer.
His favorite gift he ever got was from Leo for his birthday. It was a snow globe and it had Festus, with lightning bolts shooting everywhere and when you shook it, the bolts flashed.
His favorite flowers are lilies and yellow roses.
He hates gummy bears and gummy worms.
He has dyscalculia rather than dyslexia.
He owns like, five HydroFlasks.
He's the friend who says "Hydrate or diedrate." but then needs to be reminded of that himself.
ALSO Leo was his bi awakening, I don't make the rules.
:)

REPOSTING 2023
Jason POV: You’re on a double date instead of having one girlfriend, why not have two.
I don’t just ship Jasico, I also ship Jason with Reyna and Piper. I’m also not a fan of the hands… I often hate the way I draw hands…

HONEYSUCKLE . . . She wore the afterglow of the night in her sly smile while he, in his caresses.
“Cor meum tua sunt, et tua tantum,” he promises.
“My heart is yours, and yours only,” she echoed.
(The queen comes to collect while they sleep, leaving Reyna barren in the morning.)

Jason hated the situation he ended up in. Being so far from the girl he grew in love with after spending so many summers together. It was his fault though, he had been to much of a coward to be by her side through a tough time and instead chose to entertain a girl he thought could take his mind off her. He chose Piper, but he wanted Reyna. . .
𝙅𝙪𝙡𝙮 𝙏𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙫𝙚
It was a regular day at Camp Half-Blood, everyone was enjoying their Camp activities and trying to let go of the stress they've acquired from the school year.
Jason on the other hand was trying his best to not crumble away from the guilt that was eating away at him.
He wasn't even where he knew he was supposed to be. Camp Half-Blood wasn't the Camp Jason went to every summer, that Camp was Camp Jupiter.
Yet he was there.
Why?
Because he was too much of a coward to argue against his father, that's why.
He didn't wanna be here, He had no purpose here, yet here he was on an open field completely unfamiliar to him. Bow and arrow in hand because archery was one of the activities at Camp Half-Blood.
"Your form is horrible"
He looked up to see the girl who said that. Brown skin with matching short choppy brown hair with thin braided strands on the sides of her face, and eyes that seemed to change color under the sun. Piper was beautiful, no one would doubt that. He was lucky to have her, but he didn't want to be lucky.
"Really?" Jason said "I don't think it's that bad"
Piper walked closer to Jason and stood behind him "Your back isn't straight and your shoulders are tense" Piper said, she pressed her palm against his back making him fix his posture, before putting them on his shoulders which made him even more tense "Relax, I don't bite" She teased.
Jason could feel her hands through his shirt, they were soft and quite small, though that was expected since Jason was half a foot taller then Piper.
"Somehow I don't believe that" Piper didn't reply and instead just let out a giggle.
Jason looked at her and smiled, he tried to relax his shoulders and put all his focus on the target in front of him. He didn't know why he was taking this so seriously, archery was never really a popular activity on Camp Jupiter, so he never really got around to practicing it. His favorite activity to do at Camp Jupiter was sword training, the camp had a spacious arena with real swords made out of wood.
He and Reyna would spend all their free time battling it out while spitting out trash talk to each other, it didn't help that both of them were extremely competitive. Jason was stronger then Reyna, but she had always been faster, and more agile so their duels were nothing short of exciting. Just thinking about them makes him smile.
Reyna would get this determined look on her face whenever he would ask her to spar, followed by a quick witty remark. She would tie her long black hair into a low pony tail before each of their battles- that's how you know she was getting serious- then let it down when they finished. Just thinking about 𝘩𝘦𝘳 makes him smile
"Are you not gonna shoot?" Piper's voice snaps him out of his daydream, he unintentionally lets go of the arrow and completely misses the target. Jason sighed at his failure meanwhile Piper tried to surpass a laugh "Don't worry, you'll get better" She said "We have all summer together after all"
Yeah... All summer...
𝙇𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧'𝙨 𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙧 had been an unforgettable one, unfortunately not for good reason.
Everything started out normal. Everyone was happy, games were played, Camp fire songs were sung, and marshmallows were roasted.
It wasn't until the end of the summer where things got bad for Camp Jupiter
𝘼𝙪𝙜𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙉𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧
Jason had just got done with arts and crafts and went off to find Reyna.
He spoted her looking after the younger Campers near the lake wearing a swim vest on top of a purple Camp Jupiter T-shirt with some black shorts. He went over to her and struck up a conversation.
"Has anyone drowned yet?" He asked in a sarcastically
"No" Reyna said as she crossed her arms above her chest "But you will if you start getting annoying" It was safe to say that Reyna was not impressed by his joke, but Jason laughed at her response anyway.
"Calm down" He said "I was just trying to lighten your mood. You always seem so tense when you're looking after younger campers"
"Of course, since we've been going to this camp for 8 years, that makes us senior Campers, and it is our job to make sure that the younger ones are safe and have fun" Reyna explained, the way she said it in such a graceful and pristine manner would have made people think that she had political training.
"Is that what you really think or do you just feel responsible because your parents own this place" Jason asked, Reyna elbowed his ribcage earning an "OW!" From Jason.
"Don't mistake responsibility for culpability, Jason Grace" Reyna said
"Whatever you say, your majesty" Jason joked but Reyna only rolled her eyes
"You're one to talk" Reyna said
Jason looked at Reyna would curious confusion "What's that supposed to mean?"
"You've never once stepped a toe out of line, you learn the rules and follow them to a T, you never make assumptions and always try to listen to more then one side of a story" Reyna explained "I mean, I like that about you, but damn you are uptight"
"That's because my father would make me do very fun things whenever I do something he doesn't approve of. You seem to like the kind of power struggle we have going on around at Camp" Jason playfully taunted as he poked a finger at her shoulder
"I do not! Plus I'm not listening to a Nepo Baby" Reyna said while swatting his hand away
"Hey!" Jason yelled, Reyna laughed at his offended look which made Jason roll his eyes but also feel warm on the inside because he loves to hear her laugh "You know- you just hurt one of your campers feelings" Jason said, referring to himself "That's not very responsible if you, Reyna"
Reyna's laughter started to fade so she just looked at him with a smile.
The pair had a moment of silence for a couple of seconds, taking in the scenery around them and blushing when their hands accidentally brushed against each others.
"Ehm... Speaking of responsibilities" Reyna said "A few new campers wanted to try the rock climbing wall but needed a senior camper to supervise, so I told our Camp director that you'd do it"
"Alright" Jason's said "when?"
"In about 20 minutes, so you better go now"
"Seriously? Now?" Jason said in an overly dramatic way with a frown on his face "We just started hanging out and you wanna get rid of me so soon?" He put his hand in a fist and placed it on his chest where his heart should be to insinuate it being crushed.
Reyna just laughed at him again and took his hand in her own and looked at him "Don't be so dramatic" She said while looking at him. His sky-blue eyes meeting her dark midnight blue ones "We've had quite the summer together, haven't we?" Reyna said as she smiled at him.
Jason blushed and turned his head away from her. They bid their goodbyes and Jason went off to the rock climbing wall. Where everything would eventually go wrong.
𝙅𝙪𝙣𝙚 𝙏𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙫𝙚
"YOU WANT TO TELL ME THAT THIS WAS ALL JUST AN ACCIDENT?! HAVE YOU SEEN THE STATE MY SON WAS IN?!" A woman that looked like she was in her late 40s yelled.
Sitting in the spectator seats in the courtroom, unable to do anything other watch her father get yelled at by this woman- Reyna tried her very best to put on a brave face.
Last summer had been so messy that even now- a brand new summer year has come and it still hasn't been cleaned yet.
Her father had insisted that she should be at Camp J and not here and she agrees, none of this should have been happening.
She should be spending time with her friends at Camp J as they all teased her about Jason, hearing how they couldn't believe that they weren't a couple yet despite being so close for over 8 years.
Despite the disaster of last year, she hoped that she and Jason would finally get together, but Jason didn't even attend Camp J this year. She knew that it was probably because his father didn't want him to continue going there because of this scandal, but even so, she expected to at least receive an update from him. Even though it was unlikely since he also hasn't been answering her texts nor picking up her calls. She can understand why but it still made her mad that Jason couldn't stand up to his father.
𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘳
They used to spend hours and hours texting and talking on the phone. He would talk to her about fencing and the dozen other after school clubs his dad would make him take while also ranting about how terrifying his dad could be sometimes. While Reyna would talk about her day and occasionally rant about annoying customers she would encounter while working at her after school job.
It was hard to believe that she can't even get a hold of him now.
They went to two different schools in two different states so the only time they got to see each other face to face was during the summer, despite that, the distance was never a problem between them, they were best friends, they found a way to talk to each other, yet the one time of the year where they were supposed to be together and he's not here.
"I completely understand" Reyna's Father pleaded "We are willing to compensate and take responsibility-"
"IF YOU WANNA TAKE RESPONSIBILITY THEN SHUT THAT PLACE DOWN!" A man that looked to be the same age as the woman cut off Reyna's father mid sentence.
This was torturous.
"Alright alright, Mr. and Mrs. Harris please calm down" The Judge said as he hit his gravel against the table in an attempt to get everyone to settle down.
"Your honor... How could you expect two parents to calm down? Especially after this?" The woman- Mrs Harris- argued. Everyone could see the way her eyebrows furrowed as her face wrinkled in anger " I sent my son to that summer Camp thinking that it would be good for him- you know- get away from screens and do some physical activities. I expected him to get home to me in one piece at the end of the summer, not suddenly get a phone call telling me that he sustained major injuries after falling off the rock climbing wall! And I certainly didn't expect the cause to be old faulty equipment that you couldn't bother to replace!"
"For the last time Madam, we buy new equipment every two years, that couldn't have been the real reason" Reyna's father reasoned "Besides, isn't it too much to ask our Camp to shut down? It's not like the kid died"
Reyna winced at the last sentence her father said, or rather, shouldn't have said.
This of course made Mrs Harris loose her mind.
"EXCUSE ME?! WOULD YOU PREFERRED IT IF HE DID?! EVEN IF HE DIDN'T DIE HE WAS STILL HEAVILY INJURED!" Reyna's dad went silent. Mrs. Harris' lawyer was trying to calm her down.
Reyna began to drown out the noise in the courtroom, she reached into her pocket to pull out her phone, she scrolled through her messages and clicked on the one titled "Blonde Boy 💝" where Reyna sent a walls of messages to Jason
𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 :
𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙙? :
𝙋𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙬𝙚𝙧 :
𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩

𝘼𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙊𝙠? :

𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙙 :
He didn't reply to a single one, but she knew that he saw them, Jason was not the type to leave their messages unread.
Reyna gripped the phone on her hand until the tip of her fingers turned red. She hated Jason at this moment, for not being right next to her, for disappearing, and for not answering her texts. But despite that she still desperately tried to reach him.
She typed and erased messages to send to him over and over again, not knowing what else to say, until she felt a tap on she shoulder. Reyna looked up and saw her father.
"The judge called for a recess" Her father said with kind but tired eyes "c'mon let's get something to eat, you must be starving" Reyna nodded and got up from her seat. Walking next to her father, Reyna looked at her phone again, she deleted the message she typed and started typing a new one.
𝙊𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧'𝙨 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧
𝘾𝙖𝙢𝙥 𝙅𝙪𝙥𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙪𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣, 𝙞𝙛

𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚... 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙢𝙚
Jason had read and reread that message a pathetic amount of times over the month so much so that the message was embedded in his head.
𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘔𝘦
𝘚𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘦
Reyna was openly saying that she wanted to spend the rest of summer with him like they were supposed to, and God knew that he wanted the same, he wanted nothing else in fact.
"Your food's gonna get cold if you just stare at it, Jason" Jason looked at Thalia- his older sister- as she continued to eat
"Do you not like Barbeque? I could ask our Head Councilor to get you something else if you want" Piper asked, kind and considerate as always, now he was starting to feel bad.
"Oh no, I'm good, just... Thinking about stuff..."
"What kind of stuff?" Piper asked
"Just... Stuff" Jason answered
"... Okay... I'm gonna grab a plate of fruit, you want some too?"
"Yeah sure, why not"
"Grab me one too if you don't mind" Thalia said
"Alright, I'll be back in a bit" Piper said before leaving the two alone in the little picnic table they were sitting on.
"She's nice" Thalia said "Pretty too. Mom picked a good one for yah"
"Why is mom so quick to try and pair me up with some random girl that goes to my school who I've bearly even talked to until now? She knows that I-..." Jason stopped talking and closed his mouth. He thought about Reyna 24/7 ever since the accident but couldn't bring himself to talk about her or even mention her name. Jason gripped his spoon as a dark cloud loomed over his face.
Thalia placed her utensils down as she looked at her younger brother
"Then why are you going along with this?" Thalia asked
"What?"
"I'm asking why you're going along with this, Jason. Why didn't you put up a fight when dad told you that he was pulling you out of Camp Jupiter and signing yung up here in Camp Half-Blood?"
"I-..."
"When mom told you that there was a girl she wanted you to get close to, why did you say "sure" ?"
"Well I-"
"Why do you always say yes to Piper whenever she asks if you two can hang out?"
"Because I-"
"Why did you tell mom that you and Piper were getting along well?"
"Because we-"
"And why are you leading both Piper and Reyna on?"
Jason was getting pretty irritated since Thalia was asking him all these questions but wasn't letting him answer them, but her last question had him speechless. So instead of answering he took a bite out of a barbecue skewer and stared off into space.
Thalia sighed and placed a hand on Jason's shoulder
"Listen, J... I don't know a lot about Reyna, I don't know a lot about Piper either. But I have seen you with both of them and honestly... Your smile is a lot bigger when you're with Reyna and you have a long history with her, but you care way to much about what she thinks of you. You're not like that with Piper, with Piper, you don't care, you act however you want, you act like yourself. I'm not trying to get you to choose one over the other but if you don't, then you're gonna end up with neither one of them"
Jason stared at his plate. Thalia was right, but he didn't need to be told who to choose. He didn't even have to contemplate. He wanted Reyna, he knew he wanted Reyna, but Reyna wasn't easy, if he wanted to be with Reyna then he was gonna need to do something his father would not approve of, and God knows how much he doesn't wanna do that.
"I know..." Jason said "I just don't know whether or not I can put up a fight"
"Don't worry, you can, and you will" Thalia said, taking her hand off his shoulder.
Jason smiled at her before he saw reddish-brown smudge on his shoulder
"Eww, you got barbeque sauce on my shirt!" Jason exclaimed trying to wipe it off with a tissue.
"No I didn't!" Thalia argued
"Yes you did, It's right there!" Jason said, pointing the obvious stain on his orange shirt.
"There's nothing there!"
"Yes there is!"
The two of them bickered until Piper came back with the plates of fruit.
That night he couldn't sleep again, but not because Reyna sent him another text. This time, he was wondering if and how he can stop being such a coward.
He got up, reached for his phone, and dialed a number.
"Hey Leo, sorry calling you in the middle of the night but... I need a favor..."
𝘼𝙪𝙜𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙀𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙚𝙚𝙣
Jason wrote a letter. It wasn't a very long one, but he knew that the words in that piece of paper could get Mrs. Harris to drop the lawsuit, though it would cost him a lot.

Miraculously it worked. Mr. And Mrs. Harris dropped the charges at Camp J and went after Jason- or more accurately his father- instead. He didn't really know what took place between Mr. And Mrs Harris, his father, and both their lawyers, but he imagined that his father had to pull some strings to satisfy the couple.
Strings that his father was definitely not happy to pull by the look on his face after he demanded that Jason be pulled out of summer camp and be brought home.
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!" His father yelled, Jason tried his best not to flinch '𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦, 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦' he thought.
"I wasn't" Jason answered.
"CLEARLY!" Jason's father started to make his way towards him until they were standing only 2 feet apart. Jason felt his father harshly grab his jaw, forcing him to look at his father's face which was red with fury.
"I have given you 𝙀𝙑𝙀𝙍𝙔𝙏𝙃𝙄𝙉𝙂, Jason. A roof over your head, a good school- I even pay hundreds of dollars every year so that you can attend that damn summer camp you love so much, and this is how you repay me?" Mr. Grace said, there were no traces of the doting father he never was in his tone. He so sounded harsh and cold that it made Jason wanna break down, get on his knees and apologize.
"You embarrassed my name and made me LOOK LIKE A DAMN FOOL IN FRONT OF THOSE PEOPLE" Jason father let go of Jason's jaw before grabbing his cane and using it to hit Jason on the head so hard that he fell off his feet as blood started pouring out of his forehead.
Jason looked up to find his father glaring daggers at him while he pointed his cane in his direction.
"If I had known that you would be this worthless then I would have abandoned you in a forest for wolves to eat"
That was the last thing his father said before walking out of the room.
It hurt.
The wound on his forehead and his father's words. He knew that he didn't actually do anything wrong, but they still hurt.
Jason spent the rest of the summer locked in his room with no phone, he didn't mind since summer would basically be over next week. He read and reread books to keep himself entertained but he thought about Reyna and Camp Jupiter constantly.
When they first learned about the law suit Reyna was restless. Constantly asking her parents for updates about the situation, checking and re-checking the equipment they used in other activities, at one point, she even tried to contact Mr. and Mrs. Harris to beg them to let go of the charges, of course that attempt was un successful.
It hurt Jason to see her so worried and anxious, it hurt to see how hard she would try to told back her tears and look okay when they were together because everyone knew how much she loves Camp Jupiter.
How could she not?
She basically grew up there.
Jason loved that place too.
How could he not?
He spent the best moments of his life there.
He couldn't bear the though of it all just... Shutting down.
Just thinking about it kept him up at night.
He knew that it was unethical to create a false confession letter, but in his mind it was the easiest way, plus him being there when it happened made his confession more believable. Besides, he knew that nothing too bad would actually happen to him.
His father was a wealthy man that could get Jason out of whatever BS he gets himself into. He couldn't bare to have people know how much of a screw up his son was. Especially since his father cared more about his reputation than him.
There was another thing keeping Jason up at night, and it was this nagging voice in his head that constantly asked if it was a good idea that he used himself as a scapegoat so that Reyna’s parents would come out innocent when they weren't.
Faulty equipment was the reason Oliver fell.
He was there, he would know.
Oliver had told him that he was well acquainted with rock climbing, and since Jason had been looking after 15 other campers that were younger then Oliver. He let him do his own thing.
He now realizes that he probably should have been looking after him as well but he was too busy helping out the younger kids that when Oliver screamed and fell, there was nothing he could do expect call for paramedics.
𝘼𝙪𝙜𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙏𝙬𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙮-𝙨𝙞𝙭
It was the beginning of theschool year again, meaning that he got his phone back.
His text messages were open and his finger was hovering over a contact name titled "Reyna 👑"
He had a thousand words he wanted to say to her yet he couldn't type a single one. He ended up sitting completely still while starring at his phone for the entirety of his first class. The only thing that snapped him back into reality was the sound of the bell.
"Here, you're gonna need this" He looked at Piper who had been sitting next to him the entire time as she placed a notebook down on his desk. "These are my notes. Our teacher, Mr Smith kept the orientation short and jumped right into his lesson"
"Uh- thanks" Jason reached for the notebook but something in him stopped him from doing so. She expects something from him, or more specifically. She expects to be a certain 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 to him.
"𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙤𝙩𝙝 𝙍𝙚𝙮𝙣𝙖 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙋𝙞𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙣?" He remembers her sister saying. He didn't wanna lead anyone on.
He took a deep breath and put his hands down on his lap.
"Listen Piper, umm... Maybe we should talk" Jason said, he looked around the classroom and saw that everyone had already left to go to their next class.
"Okay... What?"
"I'm sorry... I know that- you have feelings for me and... You're a great girl, anyone would be lucky to have you but... There's someone else I'm pining for" Jason waited for a response from Piper, he waited for her to yell at him or something but she didn't, instead she asked something he didn't expect.
"Is it that girl, Reyna?" Piper asked, her fists were clenched under her table.
"How- how did you know about her?"
"I over heard your conversation with Thalia after I grabbed us some fruit. She sounds like someone special to you" Her voice cracked at the last sentence, she didn't know why she had caught such strong feelings for a guy she doesn't really know. They had gone to the same school for over 5 years but have bearly talked, but still.
She would admire him from afar as he talked and laughed with his friends almost daily. He was a nice guy, friendly and fair to everyone, so it felt like a daydream having spent an entire summer with him. It made her feel like she had a chance.
"Yeah... She is special... And I know that you are too for someone out there just... Not me"
𝙊𝙪𝙘𝙝
"Can't we just-... Try...? Try this and see if this works out?"
"We can't"
"Why not?"
"Because we'd just be lying to ourselves by trying to make it work, I would know... I did" Throughout the summer Jason 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥, he really 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥 to forget about Reyna. It was a selfish move but that was why he entertained Piper and made her think that 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 would happen between them.
"A lie?" Piper said, the heartbreak in her voice was audible "What do you mean " You would know"? "
"I-"
"Jason I know that- that I'm comparable to Reyna and that we haven't spent as much time together but I thought that this- this summer would... 𝘔𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 to you"
Jason stayed silent, it seemed like all his stupid decisions have finally caught on to him, he knew he couldn't afford to make more, he knew he had end this.
"One summer doesn't compare to eight, Piper... Listen I do like you but-"
"You 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 me, but you 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 her" Tears threatened to escape Piper's eyes, but she held it in.
"Yeah... That's right... I'm sorry Piper, but I don't hold any romantic feelings for you" Jason said, he hoped that phrasing it that way instead of directly saying 'I don't love you' would soften the blow but unfortunately that didn't seem to be the case as tears finally started running down Piper's cheeks.
"I see... I'll uh-... I'll see you later then" She said before storming out of the classroom, leaving Jason and forgetting her notebook.
He looked at the notebook for a while, then looked at his phone, more specifically the contact number titled "Reyna 👑"
He knew he didn't deserve someone like Piper. So he probably didn't deserve someone like Reyna either.
With a heavy heart, he put his phone back into his pocket, grabbed Piper's notebook, and headed to his next class.

A Heroes of Olympus… Rant? Idk
So, I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump so I decided to reread my Riordan books to get me out of it and I’ve been thinking a lot about the Heroes of Olympus series specifically because… as much as I love that series looking back on it… there was just so much potential not just with the story but with the characters so… I’ve decided to make a small list of shit I would change just cause I feel like it.
So, first off, I don’t think I’d change much about The Lost Hero and Son of Neptune other than 3 tiny things.
1st, in The Lost Hero, Jason doesn’t fully remember Reyna like Percy does Annabeth, but he knows that there’s someone waiting for him. Also, Piper and Jason have an actual conversation in which they’re both like ‘Look, neither of us asked for this and I’m really sorry but we shouldn’t be together when our relationship never really existed.’
2nd, about Piper… SHE SHOULDN’T BE AN ‘I’M NOT LIKE OTHER GIRLS’ GIRL BECAUSE GIRLY GIRLS CAN BE JUST AS BADASS AND HAVE STORIES JUST AS GOOD AS TOMBOY AND NERDY GIRLS FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK- Sorry I am just so sick and tired of fantasy books specifically treating girly girls with little to no respect. Like… come on man.
For Piper she’d either be a girly girl from the start or she’d embrace her girly side while hanging out with the Aphrodite cabin (who deserve so much justice, I might actually do a one-shot about the Aphrodite cabin just cause I had an idea of Percy on his first week getting his nails done by Silena cause he always wanted to but couldn’t cause of Gabe/bullies idk) but yeah, Piper could go on a small journey of learning to embrace her girly side and also discovering she’s lesbian/bi, to which Drew reminds her that Aphrodite is the goddess of all kinds of love.
Son of Neptune I would only change Frank, he wouldn’t get his weird glow up, let him stay chubby and awkward!!!
Now… this is when we really deviate.
Cause… I would actually have Reyna and Nico be part of the 7 while Percy and Annabeth stay behind in New Rome (Percy stays in New Rome as Praetor and Annabeth returns to Camp Half-Blood to lead or they both stay in New Rome and Annabeth gets the idea to build something like that in Camp Half-Blood you know… BUILD SOMETHING PERMANENT).
Maybe Reyna or Nico get a vision that lets them know that they are the ones supposed to go with the 7 instead of Annabeth and Percy. (Maybe instead of Nico it’s Thalia who’s in the Jar idk) and so Reyna and Nico go with the 7 (Reyna and Jason have an emotional reunion as they should’ve but they still don’t talk about their feelings cause they’re Romans and duty comes first)
And… hear me out! 1) Piper, Hazel and Reyna would make such a powerful trio just… women! 2) Nico would have a tough time bonding with the boys (he has a strong bond with Hazel and I feel like Nico would be surprised to bond with Reyna quickly, but eventually he and Jason would become low-key besties and his banter with Leo would be very fun.) 3) ACTUAL SCENES OF THE 7 BONDING.
So Reyna would get Annabeth’s quest maybe with another villain? Point is, at the end of Mark of Athena, Reyna is the one that’s getting dragged to Tartarus, Jason tries to catch her, they’re hanging off the ledge, Jason can’t fly because the pit is trying to suck them in or smth. Reyna tells him to let her go, it’s his duty to lead the group yadda yadda yadda. Jason refuses to, tells Nico (or Thalia if she’s the one they rescue who knows?) to meet them on the other side of the Gates and we get a Jeyna Tartarus fall.
House of Hades. After years of not knowing how to approach the subject because of awkwardness/fear of abandonment/trust issues/too many praetor duties, etc… the fact that Jason was willing to fall into Tartarus with her, and the very real possibility of dying, makes Reyna and Jason finally talk about their feelings and get together and they survive Tartarus together.
In the meanwhile shit is going down in New Rome cause of stupid Octavian. Percy and Annabeth have to leave. On the Argo II everyone is having a mental breakdown so Nico or maybe Piper step up to try and lead (I would actually love it to be Piper cause she had potential as a leader so yeah).
Then another big change, Ogygia. Leo does land up on Ogygia, he does meet Calypso BUT- they don’t fall in love, however, they do grow to love each other which is what allows Leo to leave.
I don’t know exactly how it would work but I would love for platonic love to be the thing that finally saves Calypso and gets her off Ogygia. This would also play into an arc I’d give Leo all about 1) learning that he doesn’t have to be in love to be complete and growing and being okay with being alone as long as he’s not lonely and learning that platonic love can be just as strong as romantic love or 2) Leo realizing that he’s aromantic and asexual and it’s just heteronormative thinking that makes him believe he isn’t complete without a romantic partner and finally accepting himself as he is. And again, learning that platonic love can be just as strong as romantic love.
Also, more angst to Hazel’s Hecate-like powers, maybe for a moment she thinks she’s dead again or smth like that idk.
Finally, Blood of Olympus.
First off. The Athena Parthenos. That quest would go to Percy, Annabeth… AND GROVER. FUCK YEAH BITCHES. That way, we get our original trio back with an important quest and we get to see them again.
Real Jeyna Tartarus PTSD, just, angst galore.
A longer final battle with each of the 7 having a critical role in the final battle. Nico and Hazel fighting side by side, Frank and Leo, Reyna and Piper, Jason striking lightning from above. Percy doing his thing with Annabeth leading the Greek side.
And finally… I’d honestly have an actual death. One of the 7 would die, no resurrection, no nothing.
I think it’d either be Frank or Piper.
Frank because of the set up with the stick and the underrated boy finally coming into his own and sacrificing his life for the greater good.
But the better option (to me at least in my version of the story) would be Piper. We see her grow so much through the story. First coming into her own and embracing her girly side, then being forced to step up and lead when Jason and Reyna are in Tartarus and just overall becoming a hero in her own right. (Also I feel like Piper would just have a strong bond with every single one of the 7, she’s Leo’s person, low-key besties with Reyna, she’s one of Jason’s closest friends she inspires and is always there for Hazel and Frank, etc. so it’d be all the more painful, she and Nico bond over not being straight).
Also also, it would almost close the circle of the Aphrodite hero. Silena was the first hero of Aphrodite cabin, but some people still doubt her, Piper is the second hero of Aphrodite cabin that no one will ever doubt or try to discredit. They burn a pink shroud and her siblings and every single one of the seven, along with Percy and Annabeth mourn her. And all of Camp Half-Blood silently agrees to never underestimate or take the Aphrodite kids for granted again.
The series ends with Leo keeping his promise to Calypso to go back for her with help from Frank and Hazel, Annabeth asking Reyna for help to build a New Rome in Camp Half-Blood and Jason, Nico and Percy maybe confronting the gods or smth like that.
So yeah uh… those are the things I’d change that no one asked for… yay… I stayed up until like 2 am just thinking about this don’t ask me why ajajjajajaa hope you enjoyed my ramblings!

Percy marries Jason and takes the surname "Grace".
What is your opinion?
"Percy Grace"? Nah
"Jason Jackson"? Its giving Jackson 5 (in a bad way)
I think if they were to get married, theyd have to either keep their own names or hyphenate. Theyre such big softies they'd probably hyphenate tbh. "Percy Jackson-Grace" and "Jason Jackson-Grace" have nice rings to them.
Now, I know you intended this as a Jercy post, but I also need to consider some of my other ships:
Percy and Annabeth
❌️ Percy Chase
❌️ Annabeth Jackson
✅️ Percy Jackson-Chase
✅️ Annabeth Jackson-Chase
Jason and Reyna
So I actually went down a whole rabbithole figuring out Spanish naming conventions. But from my understanding, people typically dont change their last names when they get married, so Reyna would probably keep hers. I could see Jason changing his to match hers, tho, so something like:
❌️ Reyna Grace
✅️ Reyna Ram��rez-Arellano
✅️ Jason Grace
✅️ Jason Ramírez-Arellano
Jason could also hyphenate his last name further?? Maybe?? But like, lmao no.
❌️ Jason Ramírez-Arellano-Grace
From my understanding, when people with Spanish last names have kids, the kid would then have a combined version of their names, like this:
Tumblr media
So if Jason and Reyna had a baby called, idk, Lily, the kids name could be:
❌️ Lily Grace
❌️ Lily Ramírez-Arellano-Grace
✅️ Lily Grace-Arellano
I also think "Lily Ramírez-Grace" and "Lily Grace-Ramírez" sound good, but thats not consistent with the naming conventions.
Also, just for fun, because I am basically a 5-year old shoving their barbies together and going "Kiss!":
❌️ Reyna Chase
✅️ Reyna Ramírez-Arellano
✅️ Annabeth Chase
✅️⚠️ Annabeth Ramírez-Arellano
(Tbh I think that if they got married they would do the lesbian power couple move of just keeping their names)
Jason and Annabeth wouldnt get married because they hate each other lol. And Percy and Reyna would only get married if they other two died and they were both unfortunately single and mad about it.

Early Morning
“Olivia, sweetie, we can’t bring Mr. Centaur to school,” Reyna told her daughter gently as she put on her golden studs. 
It was an early morning and they were getting ready for Olive’s first day of school. The said girl pouted, put her stuffed animal down and went to sit on her parents' bed. She smiled softly and could clearly see Jason in her. Big blue eyes and lips pouted like a three year old she is. 
She was about to go sit next to the little girl when her father beat her to it. He casually strolled in from the bathroom and sank down next to the girl. “Hey sunshine,” he started slowly, “you know if you bring Mr. Centaur to school, maybe he would miss home. 
“He would?” Olive asked with huge eyes.
“Maybe.”
The three-year-old seemed to think for a moment before making up her mind,putting her stuffed animal and covering it with the blanket. Jason just turned to her and gave her a cocky smile that still made her knees weak even after all these years. They had been married for over four years now, but he still had that effect on her. And honestly, it frustrated her every time.
The two were knocked out of their little staring match by their daughter’s question.
“Can we go now, Daddy?” 
“Sure, sunshine.” He replied, using her favorite nickname he used with her mother. 
The little family made their way to the front door before Reyna carefully approached Jason’s back. Hearing her footsteps, he turned around when she was close enough and wrapped his arms around her.
“What’s up?” he whispered before gently kissing her neck. 
“Jase,... we need to talk” 
“Sure.” He was still kissing her neck, only this time his head was getting lower and lower. 
“Jason.”
He stopped and looked at her cautiously. “Are you Ok?”
“It worked,” she simply replied. 
He stared at her for a moment. “What?”
“It worked.” 
He didn’t stop staring for another moment before his face broke down into a big, goofy grin and he engulfed her in that big bear hug he gave her the first time she told him.
“Mommy, Daddy, why are you guys hugging?” 
They broke apart and slowly smiled at their only daughter, well not for long anyway.
“Olive, sweetie, come here for a second. We’ve got something to tell you.” 
The little girl squirmed for a moment before shyly spoke up. “Mommy, I broke your favorite flower vase in the kitchen.” 
“Oh, Olive. What happened?”
“I’m sorry, I was trying to reach for my lunch,” she quietly said and hung her head down shamefully.
“It’s Ok, love. We’re proud of you for admitting this.” Jason spoke up for her. 
“And I also dropped my milk cup on the floor and it’s all over your shoes, Daddy. Oh, and does it count if I spill the water but not break the glass?”
Reyna sighed. A lot can happen in an early morning.

I lost her. 
I said this with a frown on my forehead and an angry despair in my voice. I. Lost. Her. But in the quieter moments, when I can look beyond all the raging, feeling fire, when the frown becomes inquisition, I ask; what do I mean? I lost her. How? 
Maybe it’s talking about a little hole I feel somewhere in my heart. Maybe it’s just the memories that make me smile and chuckle, and then the new memory that cracks the happy seamless picture which says no. Not anymore. You lost her. Is it our ghosts that I can see walking down that same road? Stealing quick furtive glances at her window every time I cross it? Is it looking at the doodles on the wall of the class which we both drew together, and only seeing the weird emptiness; because now I sit on that bench alone? Perhaps it’s the constant rethinking of whether or not to say her name in telling a story; and my friends getting uncomfortable whenever I nonchalantly let it slip. It has become particularly difficult to tell stories now, because it’s impossible not to say her name; there are just so many stories where it belongs at the heart. 
A cool breeze ruffles my hair and I see the clouds which I would have described to her. And with the wind the sun has set. She’s gone. I lost her. Can you find her again? Get her back. No, I can’t. Of course not. And the frown deepens again. Anger. She hurt me. She insulted me. I fought back too. She was cruel, I was angry. I grew cold, she shrunk back. I hid behind jokes, she ran away. I lost her, she let me go. 
I still remember though. I feel a pang when that song comes on. I dream about how it used to be. I almost picked up the phone when I finally watched that movie; much too late. I do smile at the old pictures. I don’t hint at anything being wrong to our acquaintances. I frown in the midnights.
Because I don’t hate her. I just lost her.

Okay if Jason and Reyna is totally a no, it either should have Jason and Leo or single!Jason.
On that note, Piper and Jason should not have been a thing. You can't build a relationship with fake memories, you just can't.
But also, what the heck was up with Piper and Shel? Going off of canon, literally two months after Jason's death, Piper's already dating someone new? And sure, maybe she wasn't ever truly attracted to him, but she still cared for him. She still had some sort of relationship with him, even if it wasn't ever romantic.
Like, Rick, I understand you want representation, but this is not the way to go about it. Having Piper date someone else of the same gender is totally cool, that's great, but you could have put that in TSATS and not, you know, a mere two months after. That just makes Shel seem like a rebound and does nothing.
So you know what should've happened? Piper should've taken a break from all romance. She can figure out her sexuality first and if she ever truly felt anything for Jason or if that was fake too.
She'll confide in Leo, her best friend. They'll mourn Jason. During these conversations, Leo will realize he likes guys. Piper will realize she doesn't.
Piper starts hanging out with Reyna even more now. She joins the Hunt and is content off in the woods with a bunch of immortal girlfriends. (Interpret that last bit however you want.)
That's what should've happened.
