been reading some #vintage pjo fic on ffnet and i'm sad to report that, though it’s not a ship i've ever gone for, the leo/hazel writers absolutely ate up the frazel writers on there. and everyone else too. hands down they were writing the best hazels.

#like deadass. i was getting invested in a few. i don't even like leo/hazel as a pairing. #are these fics necessarily good? no. but they are by and large better than frazel fics #which i thiiink stems from a lot of the writers had crushes on leo and were projecting onto hazel whereas many frazel writers #didn't really identify with either character and it shows #honestly leo/hazel fics might just be better because they bother to include real story conflict and most hazel writers #are too wedded to the little sister/group innocent view of hazel to write her as breaking up with her boyfriend for another guy. or cursing #or thinking an impure thought. or being mean or lying. or wanting something new. all of which leo/hazel writers were doing #like my absolute fave fics with hazel aren't leo/hazel but they ate. unfortunately. #like one fic had a hazel/leo/calypso love triangle with calypso's og characterization...i got invested i took sides it's still on my mind..
