both the jesper inej brotp and the leo piper brotp give the exact same vibes
piper and inej both have purple vibes, leo and jesper both have purple vibes, both duos hang around with an edgy white boy they’ve all had a crush on at one point in their lives and which they very much regret, jesper/leo probably design elaborate and/or ornate knives for inej/piper, jesper and inej are bi-bi solitary and leo and piper are mlm-wlw/bi-bi solidarity, they’re all teens around roughly the same ages (15-16 and 17), they all hanged out in groups of 7 when trying to save the world, they have similar hairstyles, piper and inej would not hesitate to stab you, soft and emotional yet also incredibly badass, they think of their proverbs and ancients tales and folklore for comfort, they will risk everything to help those they care about, use knives as their main weapon and take comfort in them, and are drawn to them, they have knives with names and special meanings and symbolisms, and their best friends with the jesper/leo, jesper and leo are bi finger guns, the jokester and prankster, flirts with everyone, wears a joking couldn’t care less facade, both have ADHD, both show actual symptoms of ADHD, both have mechanical powers that at one point in their lives terrified them and that they have to slowly learn to accept if they want to save the world, and they grieve a dead mother whose death emotionally traumatised them and started their fear of their powers, leo would be a fabrikator and jesper would be a son of hephaestus ngl, both friends with the curly haired smart white girl who likes waffles and are best friends with the inej/piper person of the group.
nevermind giving the same vibes they’re fucking parallels. holy shit someone *needs* to write a crossover fanfic or fanart or something.

platonic liper hcs cause I can.
Leo braids Piper's hair
Piper had an Undercut and Leo helps her trim it (and he's the one who cut it in the first place)
Piper is the only person Leo is OK about letting his guard down around
Building off that last one: Leo feels EXTREMELY guilty abt his Mum, and one night at the wilderness school he just breaks down and Piper finds him and he tells her everything,
They share clothes (both like oversized stuff)
Leo absolutely hates the fact he likes Jason, (his Best Friend's bf. if I'm staying canon compliant)
even after Piper moves she and Leo are still in contact and Iris message all the time
Piper does her best to make sure Leo never finds out what FNAF is because she KNOWS Leo would try to recreate it (I mean, is she wrong?)
people usually assume they're either biologically related or dating
Piper can't cook for shit, Leo is actually really good
they're the kind of friends who text (in this case iris message) so much when they meet up in person they literally have nothing to talk about. that won't stop them though
they do each others nails
Piper helped Leo pierce his ears a second and third time (he already had one for fun)
if Leo has extra metal from whatever project he's working on he makes Piper Earrings
Piper makes sure Leo wears his retainer (he forgets a lot)
they see each other as their sibling. and treat each other as such

leo valdez for the ask thing if you're up for it 🙂
yeah sure! i haven’t attended to my boy in so long.
leo valdez
favorite thing about them?
he’s a fucking nerd, i love him for so many things. he’s so intelligent but people write him off as dumb because he like joking around and stuff, but he’s scarily competent and is very capable of kicking your ass if given the chance.
least favorite thing about them?
[slaps moa, hoh, and boo on your desk and leaves]
favorite line?
“now, sleep, man. i want some time without you organic life forms.”
brotp?
tlh trio!
otp?
valdangelo. this isn’t up for debate ya’ll.
notp?
liper. lazel. y’know what? just him with girls in general.
random headcanon?
over the years, he begins to lose his hearing due to constantly working within loud spaces. after dying and coming back to life, since he was caught in the middle of a fucking explosion, he ends up permanently damaging his hearing and wears a hearing aid. at first, he’s super conscious about it because, of course he would be, he’s conscious about a lot of things. but eventually he finds his disability to aid him in battles and minds it less ( see: being charmspoken and promptly taking out his aid ).
unpopular opinion?
he’s not stupid or incompetent! he’s one of the smartest, if not the smartest, demigods in pjo just for all his accomplishments alone. the fact that people write him off as dumb and a comic relief character ( rick included ) makes me so angry.
song i associate with them?
still feel. by half alive
favorite picture of them?
this piece by poisontown because i go fucking feral over it all the time.

this fire brings me pain, even so, make it rain
“It’s not fair.”
Her voice is hoarse, and suddenly Leo is reminded of that time in Wilderness School when she had laryngitis. Nevada had been through a month long drought, and one day dark ominous clouds rolled in, the sky opened up, and rain was plentiful. The two of them were eating lunch together in the dining hall when it began, and Piper dared Leo to do the “Mexican hat dance” in the downpour.
“What am I McLean, your personal entertainment monkey? Besides,” he smirked, lightly kicking her shin under the table, “shouldn’t you be doing a Cherokee rain dance or something right about now?”
Her jaw dropped, and Leo graciously waited for the dramatics to make an appearance.
“First of all, Valdez, you don’t perform rain dances while it’s raining, idiot. Secondly, that was racist and stereotypical--”
“You started it. ‘Mexican hat dance.’ Bold of you to assume I’m even Mexican. Please.” He scoffed, downing the rest of his chocolate milk.
Piper laughed, eyes twinkling with mischief. “Touché.”
The short bicker died down. They resumed their lunch quietly, the white noise of rain pelting against the windows filling the silence that settled between them. Leo watched as Piper picked yellowing lettuce leaves out of her salad, face scrunched in disgust.
He hadn’t even tried to dance the Jarabe Tapatío since he was, like, five he’s pretty sure. He had some vague memory of a party, dancing with his mom. They weren’t even doing it right, at least he doesn’t think so. The memory’s more vivid details are buried deep in his brain somewhere, with all the old memories of his mother he unconsciously repressed.
Still, he felt pretty bold today.
“Are you done?” He nodded at Piper’s lunch.
She grimaced, pushing her tray away. “Yeah.”
“Great!” He clambered off the bench, picking up his tray. “Come on.”
Piper frowned. “Right now? It’s pouring.”
“Uh, yeah. You dared me to dance in the rain.”
She raised her eyebrows in disbelief. “You’re gonna--?”
Leo reached over and grabbed her trash as well, finding the nearest garbage can and dumping the foam trays. This place wasn’t very environmentally friendly, huh? No wonder Nevada had month long droughts.
He walked back over to their table. Piper was staring at him with the most amused expression.
“Well? Come on,” He insisted, grabbing her hand.
“Uh, I dared you--”
“The Jarabe Tapatío requires two people.” Leo winked at her. “Didn’t think that one through, did you McLean?”
And so Leo dragged her outside into the rain, laughing at her protests along the way. He found it slightly hilarious, considering the history of the dance. They were soaked down to their socks, and Piper complained about being in the downpour at first, but eventually she relished the refreshing feeling. For once, they weren’t baking in the desert heat.
“Do you even know what you’re doing? Is this how you even do the dance?” Piper asked as Leo twirled her around, her wet bangs plastered over her eyes.
Leo grinned impishly. “Oh, yeah, totally!” It wasn’t, not in the slightest. He did a mean 1, 2, step though.
Coach Hedge definitely got on their asses for making fools of themselves in the rain. And Piper definitely caught a cold two days after that.
“Why aren’t you sick?” She glared. Her voice sounded like she’d been drinking acid. “It’s not fair.”
Leo giggled. “I dunno. Karma, maybe?”
“It’s not fair,” she repeats, her voice breaking.
It isn’t. It fucking isn’t. It isn’t fair that they spent a whole year fighting against monsters and wind spirits and Gaea for this not to be over yet. It isn’t fair that Jason had been randomly thrust into their lives only to be ripped away hardly two years later. It isn’t fair that Piper’s currently crying her eyes out on the roof of Cabin One in the middle of the night while Leo sat uselessly by her side, unable to say anything that could make this less painful.
“You know what’s fucked up? It doesn’t feel real,” she confesses through gritted teeth. She aggressively wipes her face. “I keep trying to convince myself this is some kind of sick demigod dream, or maybe Hera is messing with his life again. This can’t be— He can’t be...he can’t be—“
Leo reaches over, tentatively placing a warm hand on her back. She was shaking. From the chill. From the grief.
Leo isn’t quite sure what to say, what to do. It was Piper who would let you lean on her. She always knew what to say, what to do in situations that needed morale. She was the optimistic voice of reason when all seemed lost. Now, shivering in the chilly nighttime air, tears gliding down her cheeks, she was inconsolable.
Jason should be here. He should be sitting on this rooftop with her, not Leo. Because all of their memories with Jason may be fabricated godly bullshit, but he remembers how happy Piper was when she told him about the night on the rooftop with Jason. And Piper may not have felt that way about Jason anymore but it would still be more natural than Leo being in his place.
They sit up there for what feels like hours. Piper’s crying had slowed to a gradual hiccup. Leo watches as the stars become obscured by dark grey clouds. The rain moves in silently and without warning. There is no thunder, no lightning.
The first drop splashes on Piper’s cheek. She doesn’t even flinch.
It becomes heavier as minutes pass by, but it’s not a downpour. Leo wishes it was. At least then he could pretend it was washing away his sins.
“You’re not up for a Mexican hat dance, are you?” he says humorlessly.
Piper laughs wetly, pushing her soaked hair back. “Oh my gods, no. We’d slip and fall to our deaths.”
Leo chuckles dryly. Yeah, that’s dangerous. They were pretty bad dancers anyway.
“Thanks for helping me tell the camp today,” she says. “I kind of shoved the burden on you because I couldn’t stop crying. Sorry.”
“Don’t apologize,” Leo says. “I’m sorry our reunion ended up so. . . shitty.”
Piper laughs again. “When we got that holographic scroll I wanted to deck you in the face so much.”
“I figured,” Leo grins. He really wishes that happened instead.
“It would have been shitty for you either way,” she declares. Leo hums in agreement.
The rain soon passes by. The two of them are left drenched in rainwater, damp clothing plastered to their skin. Piper’s shivering has intensified. They should probably go inside. They’ll have to take shelter in Cabin One until the harpies retire.
“I’m going to get laryngitis again.”
Leo snorts. “We should go inside.”
“Yeah.”
But they take no initiative to get off the roof. They just sit there. The stars make a reappearance. Piper leans into Leo’s warmth.
“I’m glad you’re back, Valdez.”
