Pairing(s): characters x Gn!reader
Character(s): Percy, Jason, Leo, Frank, Hazel, Annabeth, Piper, Calypso, Ethan, Nico, Octavian, Reyna
Tumblr media
Percy Jackson
He’s a horrible sleeper
I mean sure, you can sleep and cuddle like the couple you are
However, that doesn’t stop him from sleeping wildly
Limbs sprawled all over the freaking place and the only reason you know is because of the concerning amount of times you’ve woken up under some of them
To make it worse?
He’s a blanket hogger
He doesn’t rlly hog it in the sense that he steals it all
I mean he does, but he sorta just slides off the bed and takes the rest of the blanket with him
The urge to just 🔫
But yea 😞
Nice to cuddle with but not to sleep with sorry not sorry
6/10
Jason Grace
Kinda stiff ngl
Like damn bitch, you live like this?
Plus he sleeps on his back face up 😭😭😭
Like wtf Jason
Are u ok?
In terms of actually cuddling, he’s pretty good
His arms are firm and his hugs are tight yet comforting
Plus he smells pretty good
Like no joke
I’d kinda see you sleeping on his chest since bro sleeps on his back
It’s nice but the stiffness is not appreciated 🙅
Atleast he’s not a blanket hogger and he’s quite considerate with the blankets and stuff
So
8/10
Leo Valdez
He sleeps two different ways
The first way is pretty compacted
What I mean is, he sleeps he sleeps bundled up by the blanket in a blanket burrito
The other one is where he sleeps sprawled out, limbs all over the place, blanket discarded
Just like Percy
So when he’s in a blanket burrito best believe he’s taking you with him
He usually does this during winter because he naturally runs hot
Anyway, he pulls you in and kinda bundled the blanket around you two for you guys to cuddle and be as close as possible
But when he’s sprawled out with his limbs everywhere he likes to cuddle with you on top of him
That or you’re abused and crushed by him in your sleep
Plus yknow how he runs hot? Well it’s absolute hell
It’s so hot and honestly suffocating when he’s sleeping on you 💀
Throw him on the ground pls
Ima rate him a 7/10 cuz he ain’t bad and if anything I love him so 🤷
Frank Zhang
He’s the best
Sorta…
He’s obviously huge so
He fully embraces you and hugs you so it’s pretty comfortable
And he sleeps on his side or stomach so there’s plenty of room
Even if he’s a bit stiff he’s still pretty nice to cuddle with
He’s pretty considerate on how you like to sleep/cuddle
He likes holding you so he’s not that picky
Honestly nothing to complain about with him
Except for one thing…
You can’t tell me this guy doesn’t fart 😐
I’m sorry but he just gives me those vibes
And it’s so bad
And not even on purpose either
It just happens but it’s the most traumatic thing ever
He feels pretty bad too 😭
Also when y’all are sleeping you just end up on different sides of the bed
He’s just casually on top of the blanket and you can’t even pull it from under him
You’re left shivering in the cold
Hazel Levesque
I love her 🫶
I see her sleeping on her sides and stomach tbh
She’s so sweet too
She loves to cuddle with you and even tho she doesn’t rlly have a firm grip she still likes to hold you
She especially likes to sleep on you
Either on your chest or just cuddled up to you
And she smells pretty sweet
Like clean laundry too like lawd
But ofc there’s gotta be some downsides
There’s isn’t really none with her, but with you
You end up stealing the blankets and hazel wakes up mad and cranky
That’s all and she quickly forgives you
Annabeth Chase
Sleeps on her back or side
She doesn’t really like cuddling all that much
She prefers to have some space and stuff when she sleeps
But if you want, she’s open to cuddling
She loves to both be held and to hold you
Mostly it’s mutual holding
Plus she probably sleeps with the fan on
Idk how to explain it
If you’re the type to always talk during night time then she’d react differently
Like if you gotta sleep asap cuz of the mission and all you do is yap
Then she’s turning her back on you and ignoring
What a meanie
At least she apologizes the next day but still
I don’t rlly see her stealing the blanket or anything but she is pretty stiff
Like besides hugging and stuff she lowkey just lets you hug her when she doesn’t feel like moving
Mood
Also since she smells good ofc ur gon sniff and she’ll be weirded out and ignore u this way too 😞
Piper McLean
She sleeps anyway tbh
She pretty cuddly and likes to snuggle w you
She usually likes to be held, but either way is fine
Especially after a fight or exhausting time with monsters
She’ll hold you in her arms too
She smells pretty nice and if you say so?
Well she finds it endearing
Unlike a certain someone
*cough cough* annabeth
But yea she’s the best
But she won’t hesitate to kick you out if you refuse to share the blanket
She gets enough crap from Leo
Who is just constantly annoying her
Calypso
The best
Like she fr loves to cuddle
With everything she’s been through best believe she’s the best cuddler
Honestly she sleeps whatever way
She’s another who loves to be held and to hold others
Especially if you’re hurt or anything
Then she’s try and tend to you
Even in sleep
Most times she’s a small spoon
She’s loved so many people who never loved her back
So perhaps she’s just a tad bit touch starved
And would obviously give in to any affection
As previously mentioned she loves to hold you too
Mostly just having you lean on her shoulder or lay on her lap but it also extends to cuddling on occasion
She’ll have you lay on her chest and in her arms and play with your hair
Ethan Nakamura
He’s so stiff it’s painful
(Not actually)
He’s definitely loyal, the books show that much
So despite his personal feelings with touch (he’s no doubt another touch starved person) he’d like to cuddle with you nonetheless
Not much in the beginning but he’d definitely warm up to you
And in the process, realize how much he wants it
He’ll let you love him however you want (cuddle him) and let you play with his hair
Which he loves
Eventually he gets enough courage to reciprocate
But he’s still stiff
Not the best when hugging or cuddling you because of how flustered he gets
Once you two go to bed and he falls asleep, he gets pretty subconsciously protective so he’ll hold you tight
Nico Di Angelo
Yes
Just yes
He loves to cuddle never made it obvious before tho
Another who was pretty stiff and touch starved
He gets over it quickly when he sees what you have to offer
I mean usually he just sleeps bundled up under the blankets, engulfed by their warmth
But with you there he just pulls you under the blankets with him so you can cuddle that way
Is mostly just mutual holding
He mostly just liked to intertwine your legs or hold onto you like a koala
I see him as a blanket stealer when you’re not glued together
He’s either super sleepy or not at all
When he’s tired he just drags you to bed, since that’s the only time nightmares don’t plague him
But when hes suffering from his insomnia he likes it when you stay up and talk with him
Idk to him it feels intimate but if you choose to go to bed, he won’t take it personally
If you play with his hair he won’t admit it but he loves it
Octavian
Ew.
Sorry I hate him but seeing that you’re here, you probs love him
So let’s get this over w
He’s rlly long and lanky and boney
Doesn’t stop yall from cuddling tho ig
And like a weirdo he sleeps on his back, arms to his side, head facing upward
Honestly probably obsessed with you
Only way he’d cuddle/ be in a relationship with you
He’s probably never been touched by another person
So he definitely likes to be held
Plus the bastard is selfish
And he doesn’t hold you
😐…
Yea so 1/10
I’m being generous
Reyna Ramirez-Arellano
I love her 😭🫶🫶
Yea she probs love you so ofc she’s gonna cuddle w u
Often times she’s busy with the duties of praetor so she can’t cuddle 😞
But it’s ok cuz when she can it’s the best
Not only is she holding you and making you feel cared after
But she also plays with your hair
Also you have to hold her
I don’t make the rules, just look at her, she needs it
When you do she’s a bit put off
But eventually she lets you coddle her
So more often than not she’s little spoon and comfortable
Just like she deserves
Yes beautiful
9/10
————————-
Note: I just realized Reyna is a hunter now idk why I even wrote hers 😭 maybe pre-hunter Reyna or lesbian Reyna??? Idk man

Childhood Love Story (Childhood AU) Part 3
Disclaimer:
Leo Valdez: The following is a non-profit fanbase series. PJO, HoO and ToA are owned by Rick Riordan and Disney Hyperion. Please support the Official release.
Inspired by another Fanfiction I read called Safety Patrol (In Fanfiction.Net)/ Something More (In Archive of Our Own) made by EthnicToken (Fanfiction.Net)/ StarriNights (Archive of Our Own).
[Table Of Content] [First Chapter] [Mid Chapter]
Summary:
Leo and Calypso have been neighbors and friends since kindergarten. The two were inseparable all the way to high school. However, in their Junior years, Calypso was about to confess to her crush, Percy Jackson. However, he turned her down and made her realize that who she truly loves is her best friend, Leo. Will she finally let her true feelings out? Or will she bury them deep in her heart, never to see light?
Story:
Calypso looked everywhere in the library, but Leo was nowhere to be found. 
“Maybe he’s at the Mechanic’s Clubroom?” She thought. She headed toward a small garage near the school where some students go when doing some mechanical projects for their club. Leo would tend to be there every now and then but due to his… wild ideas, he was not allowed to work on any projects there. Instead, he tends to help out the other students when they ask for his help. 
Calypso looks around to find Leo. Then suddenly, someone spoke inside. Calypso peeked in the garage and saw Leo with another girl. A club member named Jessie. She has brown hair and wears a little bandanna on her forehead. She’s wearing a jumpsuit that all club members wear when they’re in the garage. 
‘What’s going on?’ Calypso thought. 
“So… I… I like you… for a very long time.” 
Calypso's heart stopped for a second and realized what was going on. Leo was getting confessed by a girl. She’s panicking, fearing that Leo will accept her confession. That Jason was wrong and he doesn’t see her as a lover. 
“So… will you go out with me?” She asked. It was quiet for a moment, putting suspense on his answer.
“Yeah, I’d love that.”
Calypso lost her breath and her heart just stopped instantly, as if it shattered into many pieces and was unable to be rebuilt. Tears were starting to fall on her cheeks and before anyone could spot her, she ran off. 
She failed. 
She should’ve realized the truth of her feelings a long time ago and confessed to him. He was always by her side through thick and thin. He was there for her when she was heartbroken; he was there when she got her first period; he was there when she was grieving the loss of her sister. He was there when she needed help with her garden and fixed up her tools as well. He was always there for her. And now… he won't be anymore. He’ll be too busy with his girlfriend and won’t make time for her. And the thought alone is unbearable.
Meanwhile, back at the garage. 
“And Scene!” Leo said. “And that’s how you’ll confess to him, okay?” 
Jessie sighs, “Leo, there’s no point in practicing! I’m just gonna make a mistake and end up stuttering on my words!”
Calypso was unaware that Leo was actually helping Jessie practice her confession to her crush. 
“Besides, I’m not even that pretty.” 
“Looks aren’t everything, Jessie. Plus I think you have a fair amount of charm on you. Look, the guy you like seems like he’s totally into you. I mean, he practically comes and visits everyday just to see you. There’s literally no reason for anyone to come here unless it’s us club members. Look… If a guy like me can get a girl like Khione, then you’ll definitely hit it off with your crush.”
“Didn’t she use you just to get to Jason?” 
“She did, but she saw me as a threat to one of the hottest guys in school. So…” 
Jessie snickered, “Did you just call Jason Grace hot?” 
“Yes, but don’t tell him. It’ll go to his head.” 
Jessie rolled her eyes and thanked him for support. She ran off, leaving Leo by himself. 
He really should take his own advice and just confess to Calypso. But, the thought of their friendship ending because of his love for her was too much to bear. He was content with just being her friend. 
But he wants more.
Is it wrong to be selfish sometimes?
Leo and Jason met up at the Library as usual but Calypso was a no show. Both are unaware that she saw the confession and did not know it was simply an act. 
“She usually comes here,” Leo said, concerned. 
“I’m sure she’s just caught up with some of her other friends.” 
Leo grumbled, “I guess, so what do you want to talk about?” 
Jason told the news that he finally asked Piper out and she said yes. 
“FINALLY!” Leo yelled. “It’s about damn time!” 
“Shut up! I don’t want to hear that from you! You still haven’t confessed to Calypso.” 
“And I told you, I’m fine where we’re at.” 
“No you’re not, and you know it.” 
“Can we just focus on you right now?” 
Jason sighs but nodded. 
The two talked about how his date is gonna go. Jason’s gonna take Piper to the Pier and go on some of the rides and play some games. He’s hoping to take her to a nice restaurant and confess his feelings to her. If things go smoothly, Jason might have a shot. 
“If Calypso was here, she’d give us a woman’s point of view,” Leo said. “Where is she?” 
“I already told her earlier today. She already knew. In fact, she was supposed to see you afterwards.” 
Leo was now getting more concerned until the bell rings, announcing for next class. 
“Head to class, Jason. It’s my free period right now. I’m gonna go find Sunshine.” 
Jason understood and nodded. As Jason headed off to class, Annabeth came in, looking for Leo. She saw him and marched toward him, furiously.
“What did you do this time?!” Annabeth asked angrily. 
“I swear, this time I didn’t do anything.” 
“Then why is Calypso crying in the girl’s bathroom?!” 
“What?!” Leo said. “Where?!” 
Annabeth told him that she found her crying in the girls bathroom on the second floor. Leo ran off to find her when he started hearing crying in the bathrooms. He knocks the door just to make sure no one else was in there. 
“Calypso?” Leo said. 
“Go away, Leo!” Calypso said, sobbing. 
“Calypso? What’s wrong?” he said, concerned. “Did something happen? Was it your dad again?” 
Calypso's dad was the reason her sister died and for some reason is fighting a custody battle with her mother for her. The truth was that he doesn’t care about her health at all, he just using her for his selfish gains. 
“No…” She replied. 
“Was Khione being an Ice Queen again?” 
“No…” 
“Then, what’s wrong? Tell me, please? I don’t like to see you upset. If it’s about Percy-” 
Calypso slams open the door and Leo sees her with puffy eyes and tears flowing down her cheeks.
“What’s wrong?! You! That’s what’s wrong! You just love playing with a woman's heart, never thought that maybe what you’re doing hurts them! Have you ever thought about how I felt?!”
Leo was confused. He genuinely does not know what he did that made her upset.
“Look, I’m sorry for whatever I did. But Sunshine-”
“AND DON’T CALL ME THAT! I’M NOT YOUR SUNSHINE! YOU ARE THE WORST! I DON’T WANT TO EVER SEE YOU AGAIN!” She yelled and ran off
Leo just stood there, confused and shocked at what just happened.  He doesn’t know what he did that made her this upset, but he needs to find a way to apologize. 
The thought of his Sunshine hating him hurts more than every confession he was denied. 
The day arrived for Jason’s date with Piper, but he was very concerned about the argument Leo and Calypso had. Leo told him of what happened and he was just as confused as him. Nobody seems to know why she yelled at him and it’s making Leo worried. 
“Don’t worry about me, Jason. Go enjoy your date. You earned this moment. This is my mess so I’ll clean it up… somehow.”
That’s what Leo said. 
As soon as Jason arrived at Piper’s place and rang her doorbell, she opened it and he was speechless. She was dressed casually, but to him she is the most beautiful being on the planet. 
“Hey Sparky,” Piper said, smirking.
“H-hey, Pipes,” Jason stuttered. Piper chuckles at his shyness but grabbed his hand gently. 
“Ready to go?” She asked. He nodded and the two headed off to the Pier. Their date was going smoothly, they went on a couple of fun rides and games. Piper was having a really good time, which gives Jason some hope that this date may end up with a chance to be in a relationship with her. 
“I’m having a fun time, Jason,” She said.
Jason blushed and replied, “Me too… it’s fun with you around.” 
As the two continued walking around, Piper had to use the bathroom real quick. Meanwhile, Jason spotted Calypso by one of the benches near the sides of the pier. 
“Calypso?” Jason said. “What are you doing out here?” 
“Oh… hey Jason. I… I just came here to avoid Leo.” 
“I heard that you two argued, but what happened?” He asked. 
“Leo… L-Leo…” Calypso started to cry. “I was too late, Jason. Another girl already confessed to Leo and he said yes.”
“What?” Jason said. 
“It’s true, I saw it with my own eyes.” 
Jason was surprised. Leo did tell him earlier before the fight, he was helping a club member practice so that she can confess. He now understands what happened. 
This was all a misunderstanding. 
“Wait, Calypso, I think you misunder-”
“It’s fine, Jason. I knew it was a waste. This was my punishment for realizing too late my feelings. You go enjoy your date. I’ll… I’ll be okay.”
Jason wanted to tell her the truth, but he can see that she won’t listen.
The only person that can talk to her is Leo. And he’s currently at home, working on a way to make up with her. 
The whole situation was just frustrating and Jason’s the only one who has all the answers. But if he does this, it’ll ruin his date with Piper. 
“I’m back,” Piper said. “Something wrong?” 
“Oh, uh… nothing. Just thinking about some stuff.” 
“Oh okay, then shall we get going?”
The two kept walking, but Jason was still thinking about Leo and Calypso’s situation. After a short while, it was time to get something to eat.
“You want to grab something to eat?” She asked.
“Uh before we do. There’s… something I want to ask.” 
“Sure, what’s up?”
“Well… why did you agree to go on a date with me? I mean, you’re funny, pretty and all the guys and girls like you. I just want to know why me?”
Piper was quiet for a moment, then answered.
“Because you’re kind.” 
“What?” 
Piper blushed, “Last year, you were always supportive of my suggestion for the project, yet you also guided me so that I didn’t make any mistakes. I also saw how you are with your friends. You always give them support and push them to do the right thing. You never asked for anything in return nor do you put others in harm's way. You weren’t just some high school cliche Jock. You were more than that. You were… a good guy. Like a real hero.”
Jason's heart stopped. 
It was at that moment he realized he truly had fallen in love with this girl. And it pains him that she’s right. 
He brought out a frustrating sigh.
“Jason?” Piper said with concern. 
“I’m sorry, Pipes. You’re gonna hate me for this. And you have every right to be. But, I need to go help a friend.” 
Before Piper could reply. Jason already ran off to his car.
To get Leo.
To fix this mess. 
Meanwhile, Leo was trying to figure out what he can do to have Calypso forgive him. It’s only been a day and he misses her badly. He misses her sassy remarks; her laugh; her judgemental look toward him. But most of all, he misses her smiles.
If he doesn’t fix this soon, he’ll lose her forever. 
HONK HONK
Leo heard a car horn outside his house and looked out the window. He sees Jason in his car. Leo ran outside to see what was going on.
“Jason? What are you doing out here? Did you just ditch Piper on your date?!”
“Shut up and get in!” Jason said. 
“What? What are you-”
“JUST SHUT UP AND GET IN!” Jason yelled. 
Jason has never yelled at Leo before. This baffled him but he obeyed and got in; he did not want to make Jason more mad. Jason drove off and explained to Leo what happened. 
“I found out why Calypso was mad. She saw you and Jessie practicing and she assumed it was real.”
“What?” 
“She told me.”
“But why would she get mad over that? I was only-”
“BECAUSE SHE LOVES YOU! YOU DUMBASS!” Jason yelled. “After she confessed to Percy, he told her that he thought she was dating Leo. Afterwards, she realized she was in love with you the whole time!”
Leo was shocked and speechless at the sudden news. 
“T-there’s no way that she loves me.” 
“Really?! Think of all the guys she was crushing on! Literally every guy has some sort of trait similar to you! Odysseus was as smart as you; Drake was courageous as you; and Percy is just as loyal as you! She was subconsciously in love with you and it took Percy to help her realize the truth! And now, she’s crying at the Pier thinking it’s too late! So I had to leave Piper to get you to clean this mess!” 
“What?!” Leo said. “She’s at the Pier, alone?!” 
“Yes! Calypso is crying and I left Piper too; all so I can help you clean up your mess! I just ruined my one chance to be with the girl I like so that you can be with your true love!” 
Leo was baffled at Jason’s intention. He ruined his own date to help Leo apologize to Calypso and confess their true feelings. 
Leo truly was a dumbass.
He owes both Jason and Piper an apology.
They arrived at the Pier. 
“Jason, I-”
“Save it. Just go get your girl,” Jason replied. 
“I owe you one,” Leo said and ran off.
He owes Jason more than one for this one.
Calypso looks around as she continues to sit on the bench. She remembers when she was little and she and Leo would go there with his mom. They’d go on every ride and play every game available. She remembers one time they were at a shooting game and Leo won a teddy bear. He gave it to her because he thought it was childish.
She still has it in her room and kept it since. 
They had so much fun together and were alway by each other’s side. And now, Calypso regrets never being able to tell her true feelings to her Leo. 
“I wonder if they’re having fun right now,” Calypso said, wondering about Leo and Jessie.
“Sunshine!” 
Calypso jumped a bit as she heard his voice. As if just thinking about him summons him.
“Leo?! What are you doing here?” 
Panting, Leo replied, “Sorry, Sunshine. I know you don’t want to see me. But, I had to find you.” 
“Why? Shouldn’t you be out with Jessie?” She asked with a harsh tone. 
“That’s why I’m here. This is a huge misunderstanding.” 
“What do you mean?” 
Leo explained to her what happened at his club. However, she refused to believe since it sounds like a cliche thing to happen in romantic-comedy movies. 
“There’s no way that happened.” 
“But it did, Sunshine!” Leo said. “And even if she did confess to me, I’d turn her down.”
“Why? You dated other girls before; isn’t that you wanted? To have a girlfriend?!”
“I only want you!”
He finally said it. 
“Every girl I try to go for shares some similarity to you! You’re funny; smart; beautiful and not afraid to get your hands dirty!”
Calypso wants to believe, but she feels like Leo is only doing this out of pity. 
“That’s not true!” 
“Why do you think I’ve always asked you when I went off to see a show? Or those times we spent at the treehouse. And what about those times you cried after every rejection you went through?” 
“You did it because you’re my friend. We’ve been friends since we were kids.” 
“Exactly, Sunshine!” 
“Don’t call me-”
Calypso got interrupted when Leo moved forward and kissed her. 
Her brain and heart halted for a second as she realized what was happening. Suddenly, her memory of their first kiss came back to her. 
“That didn’t happen!” Calypso said, blushing. 
But Leo was dazed at what just happened but nodded. 
Neither wanted to admit that it was amazing.
And now, back at the present, Calypso was one that was shocked. Leo slowly distanced himself and said, “That did happen, Sunshine. I… I love you.”
Her eyes were getting teary out of the sudden confession. 
“I’ve always loved you and always will. I can’t imagine my life without you. You’re my best friend; my partner in crimes… my first and only true love. I’d follow you and save you from every hell that awaits us, especially college.”
Calypso laughed but was still tearing up from his words.
“I… I love you too, Leo.”
Leo let out a huge breath of relief. 
“Oh thank god, I thought I was gonna have to get a jukebox and play it by your window,” Leo joked.
Calypso laughed, “You are such an idiot sometimes.”
She kissed him.
The two held on to each other tightly, fearing that this was all a dream and that they’ll wake up. But they didn’t; they’re feelings finally let out and they have each other now. 
Meanwhile, Jason spotted the two as he went after Leo. He sees them kissing and let out a sigh.
“It’s about damn time,” He said.
“You said it.” 
Jason jumped and looked behind him and saw Piper there.
“Piper?!” 
“Hey.” 
“What are you doing here?”
“I was wondering why you ran off, then I saw Calypso there earlier. I kind of put two and two together.”
“Yeah… I’m sorry.”
“You should be,” She said. “If I knew you were helping them get together, I’d have help too.” 
“What?” 
“I swear, those two took their damn time.” 
“So, you’re not mad at me?” 
“Oh I’m mad.” 
Well, there goes Jason’s hope.
“But you can pay me back with another date,” Piper smirked.
“What?!” Jason said. 
Piper laughed and replied, “I had a really great time with you. And like always, you put others before yourself. Always acting like a hero for everyone.”
She took his hand and squeezed it gently. 
“But even heroes deserve to be loved too,” She said as she pulled Jason by his shirt collar and kissed him. 
Time has passed and as Senior year was near its end, we found our main couple up in their little treehouse by the backyard, cuddling.
“Leo?” Calypso said. But Leo was not responding since they did take a quick nap during break. She sighs and climbs on his lap and flicks his forehead. 
“Ow!” He said. He looked up and saw his Sunshine on him and smirked.
“Now this is the best way to wake up.” 
“Oh really? Getting flicked by your pissed off best friend?” She said.
“No, waking up from my beautiful girlfriend who’s also on my lap… half naked.”
Calypso blushed as she remembers earlier before they napped that they had a very intense make-out session that most likely the neighborhood has heard. She’s gonna be too embarrassed to face the neighbors now. 
“Shut up! That was your fault for being-”
“Cute? Irresistible?” Leo interrupted.
“Irritating,” She finished.
Leo laughed but held Calypso by her waist. 
“Admit it, you love me just the way I am,” He said as he kissed her by the neck. 
“Whatever,” She said, unable to reply well due to his kisses. “Please tell me you got everything set for college?” 
“I did, don’t worry. We’re still getting a nice apartment close to the university, just the two of us.”
Calypso smiled. 
After they finally confessed, the two were back to their old self. Except this time, it was mixed with some strong affections and whispers and several other lovey-dovey stuff. Especially the most spicy moments, like what they just did earlier. And now, high school is almost over and they’re both graduating. Their plan is once they head to college, they’ll have a nice little apartment together to save up money and hopefully one day, come back home to take over the family business, or at least, Leo’s family’s business.
“I still think we should add some entertainment in the garage,” Calypso says. “It’d be nice for some people who come to the shop. Oh, and we should definitely have a restaurant too, giving the visitor a place to relax while you work on their cars.” 
Leo chuckled, “You do realize it’s my family business?” 
“And what? Am I not family?” Calypso frowned as Leo stopped his action and stared at her.
“What?”
“I mean, you said that after college you were going to take after the shop and you want by your side, right?”
Leo blush as she points toward the old drawings on the wall. 
“W-we were kids, Sunshine! I wasn’t thinking and-”
Calypso cupped his cheeks and kissed him gently but passionately. She let go and leaned her forehead to his. 
“Well neither am I. Right now, I’m listening to my heart. And it’s telling me to never let you go. Never again. I love you, Leo.”
Leo’s heart took a big leap and can’t stop himself from grinning. 
“I love you too, Calypso. Always.” 
Leo kisses her passionately, then continues down toward her neck and lower. Calypso moans as he continues to shower her with all of his love and more.
I think it’s safe to assume that in the end, they lived happily ever after.

Ok so.
I heard that there are some people out there who just hate on the canon Leo x Calypso ship, not just because they’d rather ship Leo with Jason or Piper (I don’t have a problem with that, it’s peek fanart honestly), but because they hate that Calypso is technically so much older than Leo and so they don’t like that it’s canon.
Well.
Why don’t we get into the technicalities then, shall we?
Yes, Calypso is technically like, a few thousand years older than Leo (but she was stuck to be immortal on a prison island for most of it, so she didn’t actually age, but anyway-)
But, Poseidon is thousands of years older than Sally, and literally any other women he dates
Also, Apollo?? He’s also thousands of years older than any mortal and I see all your Apollo x reader fanfics 🤨
You like Tyson x Ella? Well Ella is probably almost as old as Calypso and Tyson is literally Percy’s age or something.
More technicalities??
Zeus married his SISTER (incest is why Ares is the way he is just let that sink in)
Hades married his NIECE
And oh Ho Ho-
You thought Percabeth was SAFE??
ATHENA IS TECHNICALLY POSEIDON’S NEICE
SO PERCABETH ARE TECHNICALLY 1st COUSINS ONCE REMOVED
INFACT
EVERY CAMPER IN CHB WHO DATES ANOTHER CAMPER IS TECHNICALLY DATING THEIR COUSIN
THEY’RE ALL TECHNICALLY COUSINS
The only mildly ACCEPTABLE pairing is children of Aphrodite with other campers, because at least THEY’RE all far enough away from the Olympic family tree that it’s ok. (Aphrodite was made from Uranus’s blood so she is technically Zeus’s aunt but also technically not?)
In short, none of the ships are safe from the technicalities.
So just why, does it suddenly apply to Caleo??

I was searching for a Jasico fanfic and I found this Leo x Will one in which they bond through their heartbreaks (Jason + Calypso and Nico, respectively) and then fall in love. Ngl, this fic is pretty good. What a nice surprise.

WIPs Ask Challenge
Tumblr media
Soooo … I was tagged by @ao719​, @queenrileyrose​, @debramcg1106​, and @angelasscribbles​ about my WIPs.
Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have wips. This is for both art and writing.
WIPs.
Me.
Not a great combination.
This is no exaggeration: I have at least 700 documents in my Fanfic folder; at least 550 of these are WIPs (incomplete series’ chapters, damn near finished chapters, one-shots, asks, etc.)
I got some writing to do ….
But not going to upload a zip file for folks to plod and trod through; listing the stories that are boiling and bubbling in my head that should be launching on a screen near you before hell freezes over.
Not everything has a snippet so if I get any asks, I’ll more than likely respond with a synopsis. Also, titles are tentative.
Two Women, One Man: my first attempt at the reader insert style of writing
Dress Up: Remember in 2020 when @burnsoslow​ sent me an SGL x Riley B Kinktober ask?
Quiet Time: A DC Crew Maxlivia ask
Untitled for now: Based on Liara asks, and you know what? That was a really good story. I need to get back to that.
A Side of Ranch: Based on Riam asks
Untarnished Silver: Riley, Fric, Frac, BB, and the whole gang (including their kids) celebrate 25 years of King Liam rule
Daddy Duty: It’s the gang as kids! No angst, no death, no cloak-and-dagger stuff … just them being kids and their parents being ridiculous
You Again: Part two of Déjà Vu
A Fine Line: Part two of One Night Stand
Ready: Fric and Frac are ready to make their big debut. Riley kind of doesn’t understand the assignment
Wanderlust: It’s a Leo fic
Life in a Southern Town: It’s the gang in (another) modern AU. This time, they’re involved in small town politics. Highly fictionalized, loosely based on real events
Aftermath of a Breakup, Chapter 6: Does anyone even remember the DC Crew has a series? No? Just me, then
The Walker Women: Bianca, Savannah, Riley. It won’t be what you think
One Night in Applewood: Yet another take on that fateful night
Body Count: Who’s killing the noblewomen of Cordonia? And why?
And this, my friends, is what I’ve got for you.
I need to do some writing … (I know I said it previously, but it bears repeating)
Thanks ladies, for thinking of me!
 Tagging: @jared2612 @ao719 @burnsoslow @marietrinmimi @merridithsmiscellany-blog @queenjilian @indiacater @kingliam2019 @bebepac @liamxs-world  @hopelessromanticmonie @mom2000aggie @cmestrella @iaminlovewithtrr @liamrhysstalker2020  @neotericthemis @twinkleallnight @umccall71 @superharriet  @busywoman @gabesmommie1130 @tessa-liam @phoenixrising308 @beezm @gardeningourmet @lovingchoices14 @foreverethereal123 @mainstreetreader @angelasscribbles @lady-calypso @emkay512 @jovialyouthmusic @21-wishes @princessleac1 @charlotteg234 @bbrandy2002 @queenrileyrose @debramcg1106 @alj4890 @yourfavaqua222​ @motorcitymademadame​

Info
Request rules: -you can request head cannons or a fanfic because I do both. -I do angst, fluff, AUS, comfort, ships, light gore, and other stuff outside of the riordanverse but it's rare. -I will not do smut/lemon, crossovers, kane chronicles or magnus chase(I haven't read them yet), podfics(an audio recording where I read it to you), songfics(when someone sings the story), heavy gore, and PWP. -I mostly do character x reader but I will also do character x character if requested. -Platonic and romance are ok but if it's romance I don't write up to more than 4 people in a poly relationship because it can get messy. -Please try to be specific. For example, "Can you please write Poly Will and Nico with a male reader who is having an anxiety attack? Preferably angst at the beginning and comfort at the end." -If you want something specific to happen in the story or the reader to have specific traits, please let me know. -You can also request specific traits for characters but I will be less likely to use them unless it's an AU. -Please don't request if it says requests are close, I'll just ignore it if you do. Also, please know that even if requests are open, I may not always except something. In those cases I just won't respond to them or write anything for it.
Characters I write for:
PJO: Percy, Annabeth, Chiron(reader will be an adult) Travis, Conner, Thalia, Luke, Rachel, Bianca(platonic only), Zoe(Platonic only), Grover, Selena, Katie, Nico, Calypso, any of the Greek gods or goddesses(reader has to be a god/goddess)

5 times Leo hit on Calypso as her Barista and one time it worked
Word Count: 3.8K
Summary: Coffee Shop AU! Calypso is running late one day so she ends up going to a coffee shop- what she doesn’t expect is for her barista to be Bad boy supreme
Later on in this fic, they sing this song.
Warnings?: Not much, terrible pick up lines, mainly fluff, making out.
A/N:  This took me so long but alas, here it is! This is kinda my first official fluff and I tried okay. Anyway, enjoy, comment, share, like- you know the drill. <3 from moi!
Tumblr media
The 1st Thursday
Calypso was not happy with the line she was waiting in. She was running late and thus was at a coffee shop- somewhere she preferred not to go. The weather was terrible, grey skies as well as heavy rain that had Calypso drenched. The stupid forecast hadn’t predicted the rain and thus she had left her apartment without an umbrella nor raincoat. 
The coffee shop was small but cute, she had to admit. The staff seemed small but efficient and within a few minutes, Calypso found herself at the front of the line, face to face with a boy with rich dark tan skin and the most dazzling smile she had ever seen. He had long dimples and his dark curly hair would flop over his face in a cute manner.
“Hi, Welcome to Steamy Beans Coffee. I’m Super sized Mcshizzle and I will be taking your order today, do you have your order ready?” He looked up at the girl in front of him and immediately, his lips stretched into a lazy and goofy smile. She frowned at the nickname but internally she wanted to laugh, even his name badge read Super Sized Mcshizzle- Who called themselves that?
“Can I get a cappuccino with 2 espresso shots, please.” She reached into her bag to pull out her purse while the boy at the counter hummed and tapped at the machine in front of him.
“What kind of milk?” He looked up again, cheekily smiling as if he had something planned.
“Uh, almond is fine.”
“And your name?” He asked, pulling out a marker. Before she could answer, he cut in.
“Does your name start with a C-”
“-Actually it doe-” 
 “-Because I can C us together.” 
Calypso resisted the urge to smile and instead raised an eyebrow at the horribly cheesy pick up line. Despite this, she was a bit impressed- Her name did technically start with a C.
“Calypso. That’s my name,” She told him as she walked away from the counter and sat at one of the stalls, waiting for her name to be called out. 
The 2nd Thursday
Somehow, Calypso found herself queuing outside the same coffee shop the next Thursday. Whilst she told herself it was because the coffee was perfect, it was truly to see the brown haired grinning boy who had served her last week. Pick up lines weren’t really her poison, but he wasn’t creepy and even she had to admit it- He was cute. 
As the queue grew shorter, she grabbed her purse ready to pay. She had subconsciously chosen to wear better clothes and style her hair today. Was it a stupid decision to wear white when drinking coffee? Absolutely. But Calypso was 100% willing to take the risk. 
“Hi, welcome to Steamy Beans Coffee. I’m Bad Boy Supreme and I will be taking your order today, do you have an order ready?” The boy looked up, with his hair flopping about. He had rolled his sleeves up and Calypso, who wasn’t about to get caught, quickly averted her eyes elsewhere. She noticed that his name had changed- so had his badge. Did he have a collection of these names? She’d have to ask him next time.
Oh, so there will be a next time, huh? She asked herself. 
Shut up. 
“Oh. Calypso, right? Same as last time?” He asked as he hovered his finger over the machine.
“Oh, yeah. Cappuccino please.” 
As she waited for her name to be called out, she pulled out her sketchbook and started sketching the cute barista. From his elf like ears to his slanted chocolate eyes and the funny curl that went in the complete opposite direction of his hair earning him a messy hair look. It was only a basic sketch but it had outlined him. 
“Cappuccino for Calypso?” a familiar voice called out. She was slightly surprised to find her Barista also handing off her coffee but she also quite flattered. Or maybe she was just overthinking this. He could easily just have switched around for a friend- it can’t have been just for her.
“Thanks,” she murmured as she reached into her purse, trying to find the appropriate change in her purse. 
“You and I are like nachos with jalapeños. I'm super cheesy, you're super hot, and we belong together.” The pick up line rolled off his tongue as he leant over the counter separating them. He had a smirk that made Calypso immediately lose her strong front and spill her change all over the counter.
“What?!” she sputtered as her eyes darted to the change. She managed to scoop most of it into her arms without looking too much like a fool. She quickly grabbed her coffee and made her way out of the shop as fast as she possibly could, hoping she didn’t look as ridiculous as she thought she did. 
The 3rd Thursday
“You don’t understand, last time the pick up line was creepy. She probably thinks I’m a weirdo now!” Leo groaned as he slammed his head on the counter beside his friend Will who always worked the same shift as him. Unfortunately, Will did not get to witness what Leo kept on describing as ‘a catastrophe’. 
“She won’t come in today, I bet. Ugh, I really screwed up.” 
“It really can’t have been that bad!” Will argued, dragging Leo by the arm to the front counter. 
“I said You and I are like nachos with Jalapenos. I’m super cheesy, you’re super hot and we belong together.”
Will cringed. “Okay, that is bad.”
Calypso could not believe she was coming back to the coffee shop. The previous pick up line was terrible, in fact it was almost as bad as the ‘I’m here, what are your other two wishes’ pick up line that a creepy person had used on her earlier but in all honesty it wasn’t the barista that was the problem. It was the fact that she could not crush over someone with pickup lines as bad as those. This time, she had decided to use her card to pay so she wouldn’t have to deal with spilt change everywhere. 
“Hi, welcome to Steamy Beans Coffee. I’m Commander tool Belt- that’s because my major is engineering and I fixed the old coffee machine- how can I help you?” The curly haired boy in front of her said miserably while slumped behind the counter with his face practically leaning on the machine.  
“I was hoping for the usual?” Her meek voice came out questioning. Leo’s head shot off the counter, almost slamming into the machine. 
“Wow… uh cappuccino again?” 
“Yep…” she searched for something to say. “So engineering major huh?” 
“Mhmm. I like making things I guess. What about you?” 
“Natural sciences. I was going to do art but I guess plants and animals are more of my poison.” She shrugged. 
“You can draw?” he asked, his voice peaking interest and turning around slightly. 
“Yes, why do you sound so surprised at that?” 
He batted his hand. “Oh nothing, just something we have in common.” He then winked and Calypso had to do everything she could to not react. She stood in front of the counter, waiting for her coffee but saw that her barista was screwing his eyes up and writing something on a cup. She wanted to pull out her sketchbook and draw the cute face he was pulling, leaning back and holding the cup in front of him as if it were an invention he had never seen. 
“Cappuccino for Calypso!” A sing-song voice that could only be her barista called out. She had to admit, his voice was not bad. In fact, it was quite impressive and it had a nice harmonious tune to it. 
“Thank you…” she said in a suspicious tone, as she swiped her card over the contactless payment machine. Her barista was suspiciously silent and she had yet to hear a terrible pick up line. He had a mischievous smile as if he had set something on fire and not told anyone anything about it. As she picked up her coffee, she noticed a lot more black marker on the cup and held it away from her face to read it.
Are you made of Copper and tellurium? Because you are CuTe.
She wanted to face palm at such a classic science pun but she was also impressed that he knew elements of the periodic table so easily. She let out a small laugh to let him know that she had noticed the pick up line before she took a small sip and smiled. 
The 4th Thursday
“I’m telling you, she actually laughed at the line! That’s a good thing right?” Leo asked as he put on his apron. 
“And I’m telling you, if you want her to go out with you, hit her with a star wars pun,” Will ugred while tying his apron behind his back.
“You’re obsessed with star wars.”
“Hey, it worked for me and Nico!” Will pointed out as they made their way to the counter.
“Sun boy, we all know you and Mr Debbie Downer did not get together over Star Wars pick up lines,” Leo argued. 
Calypso was running late. She hated being late. It was like slowly ticking off the boxes for panic 101. She was wearing mismatched socks, had the wrong books for class and the laces of her shoes were untied. At least the line was significantly shorter than usual and while normally that would have made Calypso question the occasion, she was too much in a rush to truly care.
As she ran in, she tripped over her laces and almost fell had it not been for the arms of the person in front of her. As she looked up to find her saviour, she found herself face to face with the curly brown haired boy who today wore the badge of ‘Admiral Leo’.  She thought Leo was a nice name and it suited him very well- much better than any other name would have.
“Hey, tie your shoes!” he scolded her and she was surprised by his concern over her safety. Alas, she had spoken too soon, 
“I don’t want you falling for anyone else.” he murmured, his lips right by her ear and his hot breath making goosebumps form all across her neck. He then reached down onto his knees, and did her laces. However, she noticed the manner he did them were different to how she would normally do them. 
“You know that’s how children do their laces, right?” Her hands rested on her hips as he gasped dramatically and held his hand over his heart. 
“Are you calling me a child?” 
Before she could say yes, he cut her off.
“The answer is I totally am a child because that means I can eat off the child menu,” He grinned foolishly. “Life hacks with Admiral Leo!” 
The 5th Thursday
“I’m telling you Leo- Make the Star Wars pun. Please! For me, do it for me!” Will begged as he tied Leo’s apron for him. Leo was reluctant to go with a Star Wars pun. He didn’t know if Calypso would get it or if she was into nerdy stuff like that but he was running out of ideas. He hadn’t gotten any terrible sparks of inspiration and the Star Wars inspired pun that Will had told him couldt go too badly?
Nervously, Leo waited behind the counter, his hands tapping as if he had just slapped on a nicotine patch and then glugged 6 espresso’s. In other words, Leo was anxious. If he just made the drinks without thinking about it, he could get his mind off it but when he started remembering that she may walk in at any moment, he could feel his hands shake and his stomach begin to churn. 
Calypso was very happy. She had no classes today, no research studies to deal with and she had even managed her time well enough to hang out with a friend before heading towards her newly found and now favourite coffee shop. She knew it was it because of a certain curly haired and cheekily grinning boy. 
“Hello, welcome to Steamy Beans Coffee, I’m Flaming Valdez- don’t ask please- how can I assist you today?” He once again looked up and when seeing Calypso, he recited her order before the words could come out of her mouth. 
“Cappuccino with 2 espresso shots and almond milk?” 
Calypso, a bit shocked, nodded. She could feel small butterflies forming in her stomach thinking about how Leo had memorised her order. 
Stop being silly. He probably memorises every regular’s order. 
 “Soo… Flaming Valdez… what’s the story behind that?” She asked, despite his warning. Leo tipped his head back and let out a throaty laugh that had Calypso tingling all over- How can a person have such a gorgeous laugh? How can someone look so good while laughing? 
“Oh, that’s a good story. Every year, we celebrate the owners birthday by having the shop to ourselves. No customers, just the staff chilling. Anyway, so it’s like 9pm and we’re all meant to be out because it was sunset an hour ago but instead we’re still in the shop. Everyone’s gathered right out there because your boy, Flaming Valdez, brought in Roman candles!” Leo pointed to the chairs and tables outside the shop.
“Roman candles?” Calypso asked, a tad confused. Her face scrunched up a bit and Leo almost died from how cute her face looked.
“They’re like fireworks. There’s a slight difference with how the shell explodes compared to fireworks and they are a much more traditional version of fireworks but…” He trailed off when he noticed Calypso’s confused face- he just managed to remember that she wasn’t a nerd like him and didn’t study fireworks in her freetime. 
“Anyway, Will has the red ones and I have the green ones and so we literally start shooting them at each other like we’re re-enacting Harry Potter or something!”
“What! Can’t someone get set on fire from that?”
“Well yeah actually, they can. Will shoots one at me, sparks at my hair and sets it on fire. I’m running around trying to stop my burning hair while everyone is laughing. The crowd started cheering ‘Flaming Valdez’ and since then, they’ve adopted me that name. I’ve tried to get them to change it but it seems to stick,” he laughed while making her coffee. 
“Yeah, I think I’ve seemed to notice. Super sized Mcshizzle, Bad boy supreme, Commander tool belt, Admiral Leo and today- Flaming Valdez.” She listed all the names he would wear on his badges off her fingers. However, that may have been a mistake because when she looked up, she saw Leo shooting her a sly grin that made the butterflies start going crazy in her stomach again.
“So you remember my names, huh?” 
“It’s the nice thing to do,” she defended, a blush rising on her cheeks as she reached for some napkins.
Leo took a deep breath- he couldn’t believe that he was going to use Will’s Star Wars pick up line. 
“Do you like Star Wars? Cause Yoda only one for me.” The words practically rolled off his tongue and Calypso froze before breaking in laughter. She couldn't hold it in anymore- this was by far the funniest of all the pick up lines he had used. She pulled out a pen and scribbled something down on her sketchpad before ripping it out.
Leo, distraught, watched as she laughed at the pick up line. He should have listened to his gut and never made the pick up line. Oh gosh, he looked like an absolute loser now. Who makes Star Wars puns other than nerds? He handed Calypso the coffee and watched as she quickly left.
 He noticed the sketch she had left behind, it looked oddly familiar. In fact, he could have sworn it looked just like him. She had been sketching him everytime she waited for her coffee. He traced finger gently over the outline of his face, smiling. She had drawn everything in such detail, he felt like he was looking in the mirror but at the same time he felt she had facetuned him and made him look.. Well, perfect. Did she think he needed all these faults fixed? Or was this just how she saw him? She somehow made every flaw seem gorgeous and beautiful and he didn’t know how to feel as he looked at the bottom of the sketch. 
His eyes widened as he read the note left at the bottom of the sketch. 
Hey Leonidas (your co-worker told me that). Here’s my number - 07669833256. 
P.S- Star Wars puns ALWAYS work.
Yours truly, Calypso
“Leo? Are you good?” Will stopped to ask him. 
“Star Wars puns always work- you were right,” he said starstruck. 
The Next Friday
“Mamacita, get off those tables, I need to clean them,” Leo huffed, holding a spray bottle threateningly and a cloth in his other hand. Calypso, giggling and giddy hopped off the table. She watched as Leo quickly sprayed it down before wiping it. 
“Are you checking me out?” Leo’s smug voice cut through Calypso’s thoughts, snapping her out of mind. Her initial reaction was to stutter and wildly deny it however today at 7pm, she felt more bold than usual and decided to tease him a bit.
“So what if I was?” 
Leo almost froze at the bold response, not expecting the reaction from her. They’d been officially going out for one week and so far, Calypso had been quite shy. A kiss on the cheek here and there, a bit of innocent flirting but no one had really openly confessed their feelings. It was obvious to everyone around them that they liked each other but they seemed determined to have the other say it first. 
“Well if you were… " He turned around to see her smirking with both hands on her hips. He was not losing to Calypso- he would make her confess her feelings first if it was the last thing he did. She sat herself on the counter behind her and beckoned Leo forward with her finger. He raised an eyebrow at the bold move but obliged. 
Leo stood between Calypso’s thighs, his hands slipping around her waist. Their faces were close enough that if Calypso and Leo both moved their head slightly forward, they’d be kissing. Funnily enough, they both had started eating mints and chewing gum whenever they’d be with each other as if they were planning the moment. 
“I still can’t believe those pick up lines worked,” Calypso sighed, her hands moving onto Leo’s shoulders, comfortably rubbing them back and forth. 
“Bad Boy supreme is very much offended by those comments.”
“Nu uh. Ever since that blond co-worker of yours told me that your full name is Leonidas...” She paused to unsuccessfully hold in a small laugh. “...That your name is Leonidas, it’s been Leonidas and it will always be Leonidas to me.”
“Not even Leo?” He asked, his eyes entering puppy eyes mode. Calypso remained unimpressed and shook her head. Their eyes locked and they could feel each other's thoughts. Just as their heads were leaning in,the radio behind the counter bugged out and static started blaring everywhere. Calypso wanted to curse god- of coure something just had  to ruin the moment. Immediately, the two students shoved their hands over their ears and Leo jumped over the counter to quickly fix the horrendous noise. A few minutes later, About Love  by Marina started softly playing through the cafe’s speakers. 
The moment seemed like it was manufactured for a movie. The beautiful sunset on the horizon, the romantic music and most of all, Leo’s playful smile as he held his hand out asking Calypso to dance. She, of course, accepted and the two twirled about in each other's arms. They weren’t very good and they kept on stepping on each other's toes but eventually they got into a position where Leo’s hands were wrapped around her waist and Calypso’s arms were thrown around Leo’s neck. 
Leo watched as Calypso closed eyes and softly sang the words to the song under her breath. 
“Started in the strangest way, didn’t see it coming.”
Leo started singing with her, “My head gets messy when I try to hide.”
“The things I love about you in my mind” Their voices were harmonious and in sync. 
“I don’t really know a lot about love, a lot about love, a lot about love but you’re in my head, you’re my blood and it feels so good, it hurts so much.” Calypso had her head leaning on Leo’’s chest and she could hear the steady thumping of his heart quicken.
“Shall I take this as your confession of love to me?” He murmured into her hair. Calypso shot her head up so fast that she almost butted Leo in the chin. 
“Hell no, Leonidas.” 
Yet, as she said those words, her face leaned upwards towards Leo with her intense gaze falling to his lips. They looked soft, supple even and she felt so tempted to reach out and brush them. In fact, she felt so tempted to touch them that she didn’t even notice her actual hand reaching out to brush against his bottom lip. 
Leo had to physically restrain himself from shivering when he felt Calypso’s finger brush over his bottom lip, dragging it back slightly before slowly setting her hand at the side of his face. Slowly, like they were two magnets slowly attracting each other, they leaned in. When they were practically breathing in each other's face, Leo decided to spring one more pick up line on Calypso. 
“Did you know that my lips are skittles?” Leo cut in quickly. Calypso quickly frowned, not catching on. Leo continued, “ And you’re about to taste the rainbow.”
Calypso groaned, throwing her head back while Leo giggled to himself. Sick of chasing each other, Calypso grabbed Leo’s face with both her hands and smashed her lips into his, abruptly shutting him up. To say Leo was surprised would be the understatement of the year. He was in a true state of panic, thinking what he should do with his hands, his lips, his entire being. Her lips moved against his, encouraging him. He wrapped his hands around her waist, both of them moving up her back, pulling her into the kiss. 
They pulled away for a brief second, looking each other in the eye before slamming their lips back together. Had anyone walked in on them, it would have only been appropriate to say that they were devouring each other- their lips pushed and their hands pulled. Their lips moved in sync and Calypso weaved her hands into Leo’s curls. It was demonically passionate as their tongues slipped across each other's lips. The heat of the kiss spread across Calypso’s face- the blush was so obvious, she felt like her lips were on fire. Nothing could have stopped them, not even if the entire world was on fire. 
As they pulled away, Calypso had one more trick up her sleeve. 
“As far I’m concerned, the rainbow tasted pretty damned good,” She remarked, referencing to Leo’s previous pick up line.

Really in Love? 🔥
Leo Valdez x Reader (Athena Cabin Reader)
Summary: Leo didn’t know what went wrong. One minute, he had a smashing goddess girlfriend and an equally awesome best friend. And the next? One of them in the Apollo cabin, and the other one in the Apollo cabi- well, infirmary.
Warnings: mentions of dying, cheating and some blood. Also some elusions to smut and making out. A lot of angst. That's all I’m gonna say.

Tumblr media
Life for Leo Valdez had been going good. He had just gotten back from helping Apollo, or Lester, and things had been going well. Calypso had just come back from her camping trip, and she and Leo were inseparable.
Which made things a tiny bit hard for you. You were Leo’s best friend, and right now, you and him were tasked with making the new Big House for the camp. Normally, Chiron would call Annabeth, but since she was out of town with Percy for god knows what (you knew what, he was going to propose to her), he had put you in charge of this project. And since you wanted to make the new structure a bit more technologically advanced, you decided to call Leo in.
And the progress had been going well. Until Leo’s entire attention was given to Calypso. Nowadays, you couldn’t even get a minute alone with your best friend without his annoyingly beautiful and mean gf next to you. And off the record, you had been starting to like Leo a bit. When you both were in the quest, and the only two single ones on the ship, you kinda felt like there was something growing between the both of you.
Turns out you were wrong, because in a few months, after your best friend allegedly “died”, he came back on a flying dragon and a goddess in his arms. Too bad you couldn’t find a boyfriend to take your mind off Leo.
So, life was awkward, but fine. Well….until you got shot in the stomach by an arrow. Yeah, it wasn’t your best moment. It was the day after you had had your one-on-one with Calypso, and you had managed to avoid her, but whenever you tried to get Leo on his own, she just happened to be there. So you decided to get him by himself when you both were working on the project. But before that, you had archery. And least to say, you were quite sufficient at it. So were the rest of your classmates, or at least the people at the training room.
So you knew you didn’t get shot by a fluke. The question was that, who would shoot you?
And you knew the answer. Austin Lake. The only guy in the feild who had some sort of resentment towards you. Why? Because he was your ex. Your breakup wasn’t the smoothest one. There was a whole lot of screaming and yelling. Oh, and a couple of threats and slaps. But you would’nt think that he would shoot you. Where you could potentially die.
So for the rest of the day, while you were in the infirmary with Will, you racked your brain thinking of a reason. But it wasn’t until you saw Calypso walk in that you finally understood. She had come in around the time that Leo would be in his Bunker, banging out dents and marks in his newest projects, with everything else out of his mind. It would be the perfect time to sneak away. At least it would be for Calypso.
You had suspected that Calypso had been cheating on Leo for a while. But you had never had a chance to prove it. Until now, where you had a perfect sight of Calypso and Austin holding hands as they made out at the back of one of the beds.
The sight made you sick to the stomach. Surprisingly, it wasn’t because of Calypso kissing your ex. But rather your best friend’s girlfriend kissing Austin Lake. Your mind went to the hurt look on Leo’s face when he would find out, and you could feel the pain radiating off him.
But you couldn’t keep it from him, so you decided to tell him as soon as possible. Gritting your teeth, you tried to stand up for yourself, pushing your hands against the bed. The pain in your stomach intensified by about a 100x, but nevertheless, you tried to ignore it.
Suddenly, you heard a gentle yet cruel laugh. “Oh Y/N, what do you think you’re doing?” You whipped around to see Calypso standing above you, with Austin at her side, and with one pointed look, he took out an injection, filled with green liquid.
“I’m going to tell Leo-”
“No you aren’t. Because you will not get up to ever tell him”, she said maliciously, as you watched in horror. Austin grabbed your arm, and even though you were stronger than him, the pain medication didn’t allow you to push him back. He brought the needle to your arm, and growled at you, his face turned up in a deep frown. With a slight pinch, he pushed it in harshly, the needle cutting through your flesh. Instantly, you began feeling drowsy, as your vision started swimming.
“Y-ou wo-won’t ge...t away with thi….sss”, you tried to say, but all that came out was strangled mutters.
Calypso laughed, swiping her hand on your fingers as her nails dug into your arm. “Oh sweetie, you can’t possibly think a child of Athena would beat a goddess that’s been around for millenia, right? Otherwise, you would be even more stupid then I thought you were…”
And that was the last thing you heard before you drifted off into a inky black darkness.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leo’s POV
Leo walked around the Bunker back and forth, confused on where you were. It was almost 6, and you still hadn’t shown up. Worried, he grabbed his tool belt, tying it around his waist as he left his workspace, going over to the Athena cabin.
“Hey guys”, Leo greeted, trying to spot any sight of you. Malcolm came up to him, his face etched with worry.
“If your looking for Y/N, she was in the infirmary. Apparently, some jackass shot her in the stomach with an arrow. We tried to find who did it, but nothing so far, so we are just waiting for her to wake up.”
As he heard that, he practically started running out the door but he stopped when Malcolm called him back.
“Visiting hours are shut right now. But Austin was the last one to see her, maybe check in his cabin?”
Leo nodded, and although he didn’t like the blond, muscular camper, he still wanted to see how you were doing so he made his way there.
And boy, did he wish he would have gone to see you instead. Because when he walked through the Apollo cabin door, he didn’t expect to see his girlfriend half naked with a shirtless Austin.
“Leo!”, she yelled, covering herself up.
“You-”
She tried to come near Leo, hands reaching for him, but he stepped back, as if her touch was burning hot. “Leo, I didn’t mean to…”, she trailed off, as she began to see the little sparks of fire starting to burst out from his fingers.
She stepped back, and for a second, you could see Leo calm down, wondering if he scared her. But when she reached for Austin’s hand, as she enlaced their fingers together, you could see the fire build up in Leo again.
“How could you-”, he shook his head, not believing it, “I-I was the one who got you off the island” He looked furious, but then his face crumpled as he stared at her. “I lied to my friends. Acted like I was dead for weeks. Just so I could save you, so I could get you off that prison!”
She didn’t say anything, as she just kept looking down at the floor. Half of you hoped that it would just swallow her whole.
“I literally gave my life, and you cheated on me?! You-you knew I had an issue with him-” Realization struck his face as he pieced two and two together. “Th-that’s why you didn’t want me coming with you to the infirmary, did you? Because he would be there. That must be your little get-to-know-you times, huh?”
She tried to shake her head, coming closer to Leo, but he ignited his hands again, this time making them burn bright. “You can’t possibly think that’s why-”
“Oh no, don’t try and make me think of something different. I’m a freaking mechanic Calypso! I wake up if I hear the faintest of sounds, and you wouldn’t think that I would find you sneaking out every night?”
Calypso stared at him, vision swimming with tears, but her face hard. Leo tried to find some bit of her left in there, but gave up, turning around to look for you. “How is-”
“Oh Y/N, I wouldn’t go to see her. Unless you wanna see her bod-”
“What the hell?”, Leo asked, his voice firm, as his mind went into overdrive. “What did you do Calypso?”
“Nothing much..”, she said, but he didn’t hear another word as Will Solace burst into his cabin.
Out of breath, and sweaty, he looked at Leo. “Y/N needs you… she is close to dying”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That was it, the first part! I’m sorry I didn’t get to the second part, but I think the cliffhanger may add to the storyline, so let’s see if that works out. Thanks so much for requesting this, and I hope you enjoy it :)

Family Pride (Caleo)
Disclaimer:
Jason (Leo and Calypso’s son; not Jason Grace)Valdez: The following is a non-profit fanbase series. PJO, HoO and ToA are owned by Rick Riordan and Disney Hyperion. Please support the Official release.
A/N: Short one but a good one. Warning: Contains a bit of language and some slight spoilers to HoO and ToA. Also, another Author’s Note at the end.
Summary:
Jason Valdez, son of Leo and Calypso Valdez, has gotten into a fight in school and was called to the Principal Office. Calypso and Leo arrived at the school to understand the situation. However, Calypso is very upset at her son. Why did he get into a fight in the first place? He never gets himself involved in situations like this. What happened that led to this? What made Jason get into a fight in the first place.
Story:
At the Principal Office, a young man named Jason Valdez is sitting right in front of the office while his parents are inside talking to the principal. The reason why he’s there in the first place is because he got into a fight today and was sent there. As he reminisced on the events that led to this, his parents walked out of the Principal’s office, his mom had a very angry expression. One thing is certain for Jason. 
He’s not getting out of this situation very easily. 
As the family walked out of the school and arrived at their car, Calypso spoke, “The principal says you’re getting only a week of detention.”
Jason sighs in relief, it could've been worse.
“You’re not out of this, young man!” Calypso yelled, furious at her son’s actions. “What were you thinking?!”
Jason shrugged, “He asked for it…”
“No me des esa actitud!” Calypso said in spanish. “You’re gonna go to detention and you're going to write an apology letter to that boy. Understand?!” 
Jason scoffed, “I ain’t apologizing!” 
“Jason,” Leo spoke, “I understand what you're going through. I was like that too back then. Whatever this guy did, you need to be the bigger man and-”
“I’m not apologizing to him! I’ll take the detention but I’m not apologizing to him. If he just kept his mouth shut about…” 
“About what?” Calypso asked. 
Jason said nothing. 
“¿Mijo, qué dijo él?” Leo said.
“Nothing…”
The Valdez arrived home and Jason said nothing more for the whole ride. Calypso was furious at her son. She raised him to be a kind and gentle soul with a bit of anarchy from his father. For him to get into fights out of nowhere was very shocking. They had to temporarily close the shop and diner to come to school and talk to the principal.
Calypso is not your ordinary parent though. Heck, she’s not your ordinary human either. She was THE Calypso, the goddess that was trapped in Ogygia for more than three centuries and was forced to fall in love with every hero that landed. The last hero was Leo Valdez, and it was completely by accident. Even so, she fell in love with him and he was the only one to come back and save her. They had some rough moments in their relationship, but they were always there for each other. They got married and have a business that’s both an auto-shop and a diner. 
When their first kid, Zoe Esperanza Valdez, was born, Calypso wanted to give her kids a happy childhood and life that she was never given until Leo saved her. Thus, why she’s furious at her son. 
Jason walks up to his room in silence as Calypso talks to Leo about his behavior. 
“¡¿Qué estaba pensando?!”Calypso yelled. 
Funny story, at some point, Calypso tries to learn Spanish as a gift for Leo on their anniversary. Leo tries to convince her that she doesn’t have to, but at this point, she is too stubborn to give up. Eventually, it became her third language; the first two being English and Greek. 
“Sunshine…”
“After everything we gave that boy, he went and got himself in trouble!” 
“Sunshine, it’s fine. It’s only a week of detention, I did it before.”
“Exactly! He shouldn’t be doing what you did in the past.”
“Ouch,” Leo said jokingly, pretending like he’s wounded.
“You know what I mean,” Calypso sighed. “I just, I want what’s best for our kids, Leo. It’s bad enough that they’re demigods. But what will they do with their lives when we’re not gonna be there to save them? What if they get into danger and…”
Leo walked up to her and held her gently but firm. 
“Sunshine, it’s okay. You know how stubborn we Valdez are. If I recall, didn’t you disobey your dad during the Titan war one time?”
“I did to help him, only to end up helping the gods instead.” 
“And saved the world,” Leo added. “And look at me, I was supposed to die during the Giant war, but I was too stubborn and madly in love to accept my fate. Now look, we have a home. We have a life. A family.”
Calypso sighs comfortably. 
“We made mistakes in our lives, yeah. But that’s who we are. We’re not perfect beings.”
Calypso scoffed. “Say you.”
“Hey, you decided to join me and be free from that island; love me willingly AND marry me.”
Calypso chuckles as she punches her husband on the arm. 
“Just go talk to our son. I’m sure that he’s hiding something from me, but he’ll definitely tell you.”
“Okay, I’ll go talk to him. See what got him mad,” Leo says as he kisses her by the forehead and walks up towards Jason’s room. He knocks on his door and answers him to come in. Leo walks in and sees Jason on his laptop, listening to music and doing some homework. 
“Hey kiddo, wanna talk about it?”
Jason was quiet for a moment but spoke. 
“Not really, but I might as well. Otherwise I’ll have to either suffer from mom’s wrath or your terrible jokes.”
Leo smirked.
Jason got off of his headphones and closed his laptop. He adjusts himself so that he can be comfortable telling his story. 
“So tell me sport, what happened in school today?” Leo asked. 
Jason took a moment to ponder on the events that led today. 
“So, the guy I beat up is from my myths and folklore class. He’s one of the football players in our school. I heard him in his group talking about what we learned today in class and…”
Leo understood a bit of why he did it. When Leo and Calypso told their kids the truth about their pasts, they worried over how it’ll affect them in their daily lives. For the most part, they were able to handle it pretty well. Of course, that doesn’t change the fact that monsters will now be on alert for them, but since Esperanza is in New York with some family friends, she’ll be okay. Jason, on the other hand, is still in high school and will be going to college in New Rome, wanting to be an engineer and help out with the family business. 
“Jason, I get it. It’s hard knowing that most of those myths and legends are real and involve real people. But the world is not ready to accept what’s out in the dark. People would freak out knowing that the world is in constant danger every week.”
“But it’s not that, dad,” Jason replied. “What they said was more personal.”
“What do you mean?” Leo asked.
“…Today, we talked about the Odyssey.” 
“Oh..” Leo knows where this is going. 
The Odyssey, the Tale of Odysseus’ adventure. 
Calypso’s first love. 
Leo tries his best not to compare himself to Calypso’s previous lovers, but he couldn’t help himself. How would you feel if the girl who truly loves you back has had many and more cooler boyfriends in the past. Heck, she even fell for Percy back then too. 
And what can Leo do? Build things, burst into flames and tell the best jokes (arguably) in the world. 
But despite that, he was the only one who came back to her. Who loves her. Who made plans of a future together, even if it was a joke at first. So Leo may have won her heart in the end, but it doesn’t change the fact that there’s always better people out there. It’s life, no one is perfect.
But Leo is learning to accept himself. And accepting that Calypso loves him and him alone.
“I see,” Leo spoke. “Let me guess… Mom?” 
Jason didn’t say anything, but he nodded. 
“They… they were talking some stuff about her. I know that nobody knows that mom is the real goddess from the stories but…”
Jason took a deep breath. 
“I tried to hold back my anger, dad. I really did, but the way they talked about mom… I just…” 
Leo hugs his son, interrupting his talk. 
“I get it, mijo. I do,” Leo replied. “It hurts when someone talks crap about someone you care about. Do you have any idea how many times I got into fights back then?”
“Did you win any?” 
“That’s not important,” Leo replied quickly. “Point is, I have seen my share of struggles in the past. Especially those involving your mother.”
“But dad,” Jason spoke. “I just hate when people talk about mom like she’s some evil witch or something. I've seen it in movies, books and stuff. I saw it in people’s faces when we read about her. I just…”
Jason grips his fists tighter as he tries to calm himself. 
“I just wish people knew how much mom has been through, how much of a good person she is. Sure she’s scary when she’s angry.”
Leo snickered at the comment.
“But mom is always compassionate to others. If mom hadn’t saved Odysseus, he’d never have come home, built that device and passed it on to you to save the world. If she hadn’t saved Drake, he’d never have found America, our home. If she hadn’t saved uncle Percy, Olympus would’ve fallen.”
Leo sat there silently as he listened to his son’s rant. 
“Why couldn’t people see the fact that mom was just as much of a hero as everyone else?! That’s why I beat that guy up! He was talking shit about mom and I couldn’t let that slide! So yeah, I’ll take the detention, but there’s no way in any realm am I going to apologize to him.”
Jason took a deep breath as he finished talking. 
“I’m sorry,” Jason spoke again. “I didn’t mean to yell, I just-,”
Leo hugs his son and interrupts his conversation. 
“It’s okay, Jason. I understand. You were protecting your mom’s honor. I’d do the same too; hell, even your sister did too back when she was in high school too.”
Jason didn’t say anything and just embraced his dad’s hug.
“Your mother has been through so much,” Leo continues. “And I know that we can’t change how other people will see her in stories and such. But know this, Jason, your mother loves you and is very proud of who you are.”
After a couple of minutes of taking a breather, Jason thanks his dad for the conversation as Leo walks up and leaves his room. Standing next to the door frame was Calypso, hiding so that her son couldn’t see her. Leo notices the tears dropping on her cheeks. 
“You heard us, didn’t you?” Leo asked. 
Calypso nodded. 
Leo hugs her in comfort. 
“Don’t blame yourself for this, sunshine.”
“But it is my fault, Leo. If I didn’t do all those-,”
“Calypso,” Leo said. He never calls her by her name unless he has something important to say. “Never in our lives have your past ruined us. In fact, it made us love you more. Sure you fell for heroes who were already taken, but you also saved their lives. You helped me when you could’ve just left me alone on your island, you could’ve fallen for anyone else in the world, yet you chose me. You gave me a home, a family, a future.”
Calypso stood in silence as she listened to Leo’s words. 
“You gave our kids a happy life. Yes, he shouldn’t have got into a fight, but he did it because he loves you. We all do, honey. Because to us, you are our light, our rock, our sunshine.”
“I thought I told you not to call me that,” Calypso responded as she cried tears of joy. 
Leo laughs and then kisses his wife on the lips, telling her how much he loves and how grateful he is to have her in his arms.
The two never got a happy past, struggling with loss and trauma. But now they built a future filled with hopes and dreams. Their children were gifted with loving parents who would do anything to keep them safe and happy, as would the kids would for their parents. 
After all, aren’t the kids the pride of the family?
Author’s Note: Short one today, I hope it was good. I just want to say thank you all for reading some of my work even if most of them aren’t that good. Still, I ain’t stopping, I’m going to keep writing about this ship because other than Percabeth, it’s one of my OTPs in this franchise. However, I will be focusing more on my other work, Estelle and The Mark of Arachnid [Summary in Link]. If you don’t know what that is, it’s pretty much a Spider-man origin trilogy but Estelle is the main character, and it takes place in the Riordanverse with connections to the MCU Multiverse. The goal is at 30+ chapters and I’m already at Chapter 5. I'm getting a lot of views and I would very much like it if you get the chance to read it too. It’ll still have Caleo in it, just more to the sidelines since this is more of a hero’s story. 
This doesn’t mean that I’m ending this series here, I will be continuing on working more stories, just that I will be posting them at a later schedule. So instead of once a month, it’ll mostly likely be once every 2-3 months. So don’t worry, I will be continuing this series, just that there will be later updates. I still have some stories on my list to write for this series.
Thank you all for reading my stories, until my next update.

calypso cubs, @lumosinlove fanfiction
i never get AU ideas this was a joy
ok so logan is calypso. he's just there and it's hot and he's missing his family and he's somehow surviving day by day, resigning himself to the fact that he's alone, on this island, and what is he supposed to do to pass the centuries?
then a redhead washes up on shore and he's gorgeous and logan pushes that aside to heal the boy and help him repair his ship. but finn has personality and jokes and also somehow sees logan and when he returns to his lil hut at night his brain is running in circles because there is no way on earth that finn would stay here, on this island, with logan until the end of time. logan can't ask finn to do that. so we get the logan denying his feelings and doing a little bit of hot and cold, as he does.
but he likes finn. there's something about him. and they kiss one day and it's good but logan pulls himself away because this is unfair, to finn and unfair of the gods to logan himself and the look on finn's face about breaks him. a few days later they make up; finn reveals his feelings and logan reveals the tragedy that is his life: if they are to be together, finn must stay on this island.
finn convinces logan to try and leave with him. he's so insistent and persistent and logan sees the love and hope in his eyes and he gets tired of saying no and he gets tired of wanting. so the two climb into the boat and they push off of the island.
it's fine for a bit. they get a bit away, to the deeper part of the ocean, and logan feels his chest rise in spite of his worries. finn is firey and grinning and has not interacted with the gods as closely as logan has.
the waves increase in their intensity. the joy on finn's face is replaced with shock and then a cold splash of fear as he's thrown from the boat. logan jumps in after him and struggles him back to the surface despite the rocky waves. he hauls him up back on the boat and lifts himself to peer over the edge, confirming finn is alright–he is. he's breathing. just a little stunned.
and logan dives under the water and doesn't resurface until he's close enough back to the island that finn won't see him.
logan's devastated. cursing the gods. pissed off at the world. angry as he goes around and sees the bits of finn left behind, the little messes they hadn't cleaned up before leaving. he hopes that finn has returned safely to his war. he hopes finn doesn't hate him too much.
and then a few weeks later there's splashing in the water and logan looks over, his heart beating, and it's not finn, but a tall sunshine boy who crawls his way on to the beach and lugs his boat behind him before collapsing and falling into a deep exhausted sleep.
logan wishes he didn't do it, wishes he acted better, but he stares at the boy for a good few minutes, wondering if there is any way the boy will wake up on his own, hop back in his boat, and just leave, before wrapping his arms around the boy's shoulders and dragging him along the sand to logan's hut.
the boy stays asleep for days. logan is both grateful and ungrateful for this–he doesn't have to talk to the boy. he can continue to grieve. but he knows at any moment the boy will become his responsibility–frankly, the boy is already his responsibility. he's making him drink some water whenever he mumbles and he knows his heart is pounding whenever the boy, fast asleep, clutches his wrist.
leo wakes up. he sees that logan is hurting and a bit cracked and he gives him as much space as he can–after all, logan is still caring for him. but logan also looks at him in ways he can't decipher and logan, frankly, has no idea why he's looking at him so much. there's none of finn in his face. but his eyes sparkle when he speaks.
logan pushes leo away when he kisses him. he then reaches out to bring leo back, but leo shakes his head and backs away. logan is either in, or he's out. and logan can't do this to leo, and he can't do this to himself. and he shakes his head, because leo's all healed and his boat has been fine since he's arrived on this island and logan just needs leo gone.
but, of course, it's worse without leo.
logan prays to the gods that no fucking other boy will come to this island, and, for a year, no one does. he is astonished that the gods are listening to him, but thankful all the same. his heart longs for the two boys... he doesn't have it in him to care for any others.
leo returns to the war. he is tougher than when he left, a bit more guarded, and his friends don't understand where he was that changed him this way. he refuses to speak about it–what's the point? he was hurt, and he doesn't want to go back... he doesn't even know if it's possible to go back. so, he'll never see logan again. alright. good riddance.
there's another boy who hangs out in the camp, somehow lively despite the stress they're under. and yes, he has red hair, not brown, and yes, the two are in entirely different circumstances, but leo tenses his jaw regardless and looks away. they're in a war. this could still have a devastating end.
finn understands this, and he and leo fight side by side, growing more comfortable with each other and avoiding any and all pulls to each other for the sake of their future sanity. but then leo isn't quite sure if their current sanity is better for this, and he looks at finn for a long time one night and then finn meets his eyes and then they're kissing and leo misses logan so very much.
the war fades to an end, or they win, or they lose, and finn and leo each know that something is missing between them. finn has determined that the pang in his heart is only a bit smeared with anger towards the way logan just gave up on him–logan was caring for him by sticking him back on the boat. logan wanted to make sure finn could return to his life. logan was trying to act kindly, even if it sucked.
leo and finn get to talking about their time during the war, the time that both of them, about a month apart, were lost at sea for a bit. their mouths hang open when they realize. logan.
they build a sturdier boat. they bring it to the edge of the sea. they travel back, trying to figure out where exactly they got lost the last time, how the winds sent them to wash up on logan's island. they wonder how logan's doing.
it takes days to arrive. the gods have zero interest in helping them and quite a bit of interest in pushing them away from this island. but they see it, in the distance, or they believe that they do and they keep going. leo shouts when he actually sees it, the trees as he remembers and a faint hut that brings back the pang in his chest.
finn has explained why logan, probably, refused to kiss leo. leo explained how logan had pulled him back in, and he knows that logan's feelings for him were most likely marred by his curse. he hopes this is the case.
getting to the island is a test of both finn and leo's strength. the waves are rocky as all hell and the wind refuses to help and they pull hard on the ropes for the sails to corral the wind somehow to get them to this island. logan has seen them and his heart is pounding because there are two people on this ship, and they're both standing, and they look like people he loves, and he stands at the edge of the water, not wanting to go and help for fear of making it worse.
but as they get closer, the waves increase on their own. logan makes eye contact with first finn, who has tears in his eyes, and then leo, whose sturdy expression he recognizes from the moment when leo asked him: was he in, or was he out?
finn calls to logan to swim up to the boat, and logan shifts his eyes to leo again, who nods harshly, and logan truly doesn't know what to do because he can't handle causing more harm to these two wonderful humans. but then they're both calling to him and they say to come and swim and logan remembers how good he felt when he spoke to both of them, and he pushes aside his fears as much as he can, swimming faster and faster until leo hauls him up on the boat and they're just staring.
but thunder cracks and logan flinches, hard, and finn wraps his hand around logan's arm and pulls him to the center of the boat and gives him something to do and tells him they'll talk when they get away. logan tries to explain it's not going to work–does he remember what happened last time?–and finn and leo tell him to shut up and just focus while they sail away.
and, somehow, they do. leo and finn are strong and skilled and logan is in awe and just trying to assist however he can. one or both of the boys look over every time the thunder booms above them and he just stares into their eyes as he shudders because, despite everything, they're somehow all here.
after hours upon hours, the seas and skies give up. they all fall to the ground and breathe heavily. logan reaches out his hand to leo and rests it next to his tentatively. he apologizes. leo nods, grabs his hand, and pulls him into a hug. finn makes some quip about how pretty they look and logan reaches out his hand to pull him in.
they land back on shore eventually. the gods are not pleased and make the journey take far too long. but it gives them much time to talk. logan learns how finn and leo know each other. he tells them everything–what's the point in hiding, if taking these leaps so far have brought him this much joy? who is he to deny them all the possibility for more?
logan sobs when he gets back on shore–but a different shore. he has told finn and leo about his sisters, and they've all planned to search for them. but first, they want to make a home. sprawling, no boundaries, with grass and trees and neighbors and no ocean as far as the eye can see.
logan isn't sure he'll ever get back on a boat.
finn just wants to wrap up his boys and explore their village.
leo befriends the farmers instantly and the three of them plant a garden.
logan stares out at his new home and smiles.

🌺Lecho🌺 First Kiss
Tumblr media
"Excuse me ? I'm looking for a nymph in need of a ride." Said a familiar voice when a gigantic dragon landed next to the lake. "Can you tell her Leo's here ?"
"Leo... here !" She managed to articulate once the beating of her heart had calmed down.
He said he would come back, but Leo and his friend had been gone for weeks now, sure he had forgotten about her, they all did, after all.
Leo climbed off his dragon and walked toward the nymph, but something made him stop. He looked around, before a weak sad smile grew on his face.
"Mister six-pack fell again, didn't he ?"
"Fell..." She looked at the lake with deep sadness. She had dedicated so many years of her life and afterlife to Narcissus, but he never cared about her, neither her advices. He drowned himself again, while all those idiotic nymphs kept looking at him, ignoring her plead for help.
"It's not your fault, you know ? You did your best for him."
Did she ? She wanted to believe she couldn't do more, but she knew deep down that she could have done better. During those last weeks, she tried less, she isolated herself to think about what those newcomers had said, what Leo had said : "We can't leave Echo !" No one ever took her side like he did. "You're one brave nymph. I'm proud to have you on Team Leo."
"You know... I'm here if you need to talk." She sent him a jokingly annoyed look. "Oops, euh, you know what, forget about it." She laughed but stopped right away in shock. When was the last time she had laughed ? Since him and Hazel left, she couldn't help but think about this short adventure as the most fun she had had in millennia. Even more than that, she couldn't help but think about this kiss she gave him on the cheek, if she could, she'd turn bright red right now.
Seeing her lost in her thoughts, Leo tried to reassure her by changing subject : "Remember about Festus ? That's the big guy right there." He said pointing at his dragon. Echo had to admit he looked almost exactly like the one she used to see in the sky centuries ago. "Without him I'd still be dead."
"Dead ?!"
"Oh yes I maybe should have introduced that first. Remember Gaea? The giants ? The end of the world? It's all over now thanks to the mighty hero that I am. All done without any casualties except, well me. But it's all good now ! I'm here !"
"Here..." He's here, right after he just saved the world, smiling as much as weeks before, like nothing happened. Why was she surprised ? She knew it the moment he put together his stupid plan to distract Narcissus, Leo Valdez is a true hero, way more selfless and clever than he pretends to be. How can she have look after Narcissus for so long, neglecting her own happiness and existence, for nothing ? While Leo had sacrificed his own life for the world ?
"Echo, hum, you know I... I came back here to, well, keep the promise I made you, to take you away from this place. You're free to stay of course but, you know there's a minibar in Festus back and the strawberry milkshake are the best you could ever drink in your entire life, so you should definitely try t-"
Overwhelmed, Echo's mind turned blank. And it's with nothing else but the memory of how alive she had felt when her lips touched his cheek, of how he looked at her before leaving, like he could see her, like no one had looked at her in ages, and this haunting joke she had dreamt about since she met him, that she took his face between her hands and kissed the fool.
She smiled felling the temperature increase in an instant. When they pulled apart, she knew her face was as hot as his. But Leo's wide opened eyes made her lose all the confidence she had gathered.
"So-Sorry! I didn't mean to-" She stopped in the middle of her sentence. Sentence ? Did she just...
"Echo...I see you better..." She didn't get what he was saying or barely registered it, too shocked. "I mean, you're material, physical...Like, the opposite of transparent...Opaque, you're opaque ! Which is a good thing, your opacity is really beautiful, I mean, wait-"
"See... me...." She succeeded.
"And you can make your own sentences ! Wow, is it like you're own kind of 'at loss of words' ? You become able to talk at will again ?"
Tears came to her eyes, happy tears. She laughed, laughed at his stupid jokes and laughed in disbelief of what was happening to her.
"Does that mean...Does that mean your curse...has been lifted ? Echo, are you ok ?"
"Ye...Yes I am. Thanks...Thanks to you, Leo." He smiled before she took him in her arms, remaining in this position until Echo's eyes were dried.
"Do you feel like leaving this place ? And coming with me ?" He asked, hesitant. But her eyes were already filled with nothing else but certainty when she smiled at him, took his hand and answered :
"I have to, after all, I'm Team Leo's president now."

Baby We’re Going Up/’Cuz I Can’t Get Enough
Summary: School dances were on Nico’s top ten list of things he usually didn’t like. And yet Will somehow has these eyes that Nico can’t resist. He blames the part of him that just wants an excuse to hang out with Will.
Word Count: 1.3k 
Read on AO3
In Nico di Angelo’s world, it had been a shit week. A feet-shuffling, back-hunched, headaching week.
How he suddenly found himself in a dark room with blasting music and raving lights, he wasn’t quite sure. (Actually he was, due to a certain blonde who seemed to be able to persuade him into doing anything.)
School dances were on Nico’s top ten list of things he usually didn’t like. Too many people were in one room which always ended with him being a sweaty mess regardless if he danced or not. Also not to mention the anxiety-induced dancing. Eighth graders were the worst when it came to not judging others too harshly.
And yet Will somehow has these eyes that Nico can’t resist. He blames the part of him that just wants an excuse to hang out with Will.
It’s not like his crush on him is exactly a secret. They had exchanged verbal mutual feelings earlier that month which involved Nico mumbling something about having a crush on WIll since 7th grade, and Will blushed and hugged him in return. Not much had happened since then, but Nico definitely noticed the little touches from Will, like intertwining their fingers when they walked home together or wrapping his arm around Nico (which Nico almost always responded by pushing it off.)
Originally, Nico’s plan for the night was to sit in the back on his phone for the two hours while trying his best to not get a headache from how loud the music was. He hardly recognized the songs, most of them were pop songs he hadn’t even heard yet despite them being replayed on the radio for weeks.
Of course, Will had completely different plans, and Nico’s plan failed after about 5 minutes when he was dragged to the front of the room near everyone as well as right where the speakers were. Nico felt like he was already going deaf less than 10 seconds of standing there.
He was about to risk breaking Will’s spirit by walking away when Cotton Eye Joe came on, and like magnet he somehow found himself holding his ground. He and Will have had many disagreements about who was the best at particular dances of the sort, and he wasn’t about to have Will prove him wrong (especially when the DJ announced that it would be a competition with a prize for the winner.)
He began to hop almost furiously next to Will, determined to prove a point. He didn’t stop to catch his breath, not even when his foot began to ache from the amount of hopping on it. As the song wnt on, Nico found himself relaxing into it, even laughing along with Will as the danced. And even when Will was awarded a plastic neon pink cowboy hat at the end (it was absolutely hideous but Will still looked adorable like always in it) it still seemed worth in.
(Also he totally got him back during the Cupid Shuffle later, and was given an electric blue fedora with a glittery bland strip across the bottom, which he unapologetically flaunted.)
After that, Nico completely forgot about the other students watching him. With Will by his side it was like they radiated confidence off of each other, which somehow made dancing the easiest thing in the world. Even when Nico turned around and saw some of the students pointing and giggling at the two of them, he kept dancing on.
A couple times Piper and Jason or Reyna would wander over and dance with them for a song or two, but Nico and Will stayed in the spotlight together for most of the night.
At one point during “Call Me Maybe,” a throwback song thanks to a request from Will to the DJ, Piper shimmied her way up to Nico. “You know, even though both you and Will dance terribly, you two look real good next to each other,” she said loudly enough so it was eligible over the music but so Will couldn’t overhear. Nico quickly thanked the darkness of the room so Piper couldn’t see the heat on his cheeks.
“We aren’t even together,” he yelled in her direction, still dancing. He quickly checked to make sure Will was still lost in the song.
“Yeah, well, you should be. If only you guys could see the way you look together. It’s adorable,” she gave him an exaggerated wink before dancing her way over to Jason.
Nico wasn’t sure if it was just the sweat or if he was still blushing when he turned back to Will.
“What did Piper want?” Will asked as the music switched to a Beyoncé song that Nico had never heard before.
“She wanted to know where I learned my fantastic moves,” Nico replied, dropping to the beat. Will’s laugh that was louder than the music seemed to be worth the gasps and snickers he heard around him.
After a couple of songs, they finally decided to take a water break before Nico collapsed onto the floor. They met up with Piper, Jason, and Reyna outside the gym as well as Calypso and Leo who Nico didn’t even realize were there. They stood in a group, laughing about how the teachers put water in those tiny bathroom dixie cups and pretended to take them like shots.
When they made their way back into the gym, “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran was playing. Piper shoved Nico a bit closer to Will before skipping off with Jason to go join a some of the couples that had paired up.
“Jesus and all his disciples could fit between those two,” Nico laughed with Will at Piper and Jason as they tried to awkwardly dance together. He was grateful when Will took his hand and dragged him to an empty corner where not too many teachers of students could see them.
“I do apologize if this night has been uncomfortable for you,” Will admitted, tucking a blonde curl behind his ear. “I just needed someone who would dance with me.”
“Are you joking? This is the most fun I’ve had in such a long time. Thank you, Will, for forcing me here after my shitty week.” Nico smiled up at Will. They locked eyes for a second, Will smiling back down at him.
After that, everything happened so quickly that either of them were barely able to register it.
Will hooked his finger under one of Nico’s overall straps (an outfit chosen by Piper) and pulled him forward, planning to hug him. To his surprise, however, Nico cupped Will’s face and pulled him down, quickly kissing him. Their lips moved together only once before Nico broke apart, glancing around to see if anyone had noticed.
Nico always told himself that he wanted his first kiss with Will to be somewhere special, somewhere meaningful, and definitely not the hell-hole that is their school. And yet, the moment just seemed so right, and he felt so comfortable with Will at that moment, it was like he couldn’t wait any longer.
He could still feel the random burst of confidence and energy when he finally looked back at Will.
“That was… thank you,” he said in a dazed voice.
“Thank you? Was I doing you a favor?” Nico asked, a soft smile spreading across his face.
“Not thank you- just- I don’t know. I really like you.”
Nico reached his arm back up to stroke Will’s cheek, imagining he could feel every freckle. “I think I can say the same.”
When the two of them finally made their way back to the dance floor, Piper rushed towards him.
“Where have you been? Everyone has been missing your moves,” she asked him, a tiny bit of worry and confusion crossing her face.
Instead of answering her question, Nico continued to stare off into the distance. “I have a boyfriend,” he said dazedly.
