Nico: *violently pressing buttons on a controller and pointing it at Leo*

Leo: wtf are you doing

Nico: trying to put you on mute

Leo:

Nico:

Nico: oh look it worked

[the-only-way-out-is-through19]

Leo valdez hcs

braces!!!! he definitely has braces i will die on that hill

maaaaaany ear piercings- they are usually covered by his hair, but one day he pins it back and jason is absolutely shooketh about just HOW many piercings leo has

him and nico were weary of each other at first, but they eventually become friends. not super close, but they talk a lot late at night since both of them have awful sleep schedules

nico and leo mostly talk about their experience losing someone they love, and nico ends up helping leo with his mental health (bc lets be honest, leo’s mental health is below horrible)

listens to music all day long

wears loop earphones (earphones that block out echos and excess noise to prevent over-stimulation) 24/7, 365

aaaaand finally a question:

[verseorvoidpiratespjo]

I got a question for yall

Should I do fic recs?

Also comment how often i would do this

[timtwylan]

EXACTLYYYYYYY THATS WHAT I’VE BEEN SAYINGGG

I think that Leo and Nico should’ve been besties, like Leo should’ve adopted Nico and been like “look at my little introvert” yk? They could’ve been THE boy besties ever.

I’ve talked about Hazel and Nico picking up stray cats in Rome and about Leo having a shop cat and I’m gonna squish all that together.  

These three are prob the most secretive ones on board and they would prob by default hide any pet. So there’s just three secret cats on board. The cats know about each other obviously and thankfully for everyone involved like each other. 

They hang out together in little hiding places which leads to some run ins with their people when they’re trying to find their cat. Sitcom level stilted conversation and side eye. 

Anyway Leo figures it out first since he’s always squeezing his way into obscure places on the ship to do repairs and work.

He’s rebuilding Festus inside the wall one day and looks up to see this pile of way more cats than he knew about and his first thought is- “Did you have babies and how fast did those babies grow up?”

The cats decide to be funny and lead Leo to Hazel’s cabin, but Nico’s the one that opens the door to find Leo and his cat and two other cats that Nico doesn’t recognize and his first thought is “Did you invite your friends without telling me, and now the ship captain has found all these unwanted guests?”

He considers playing dumb but his cat comes up and starts weaving around his ankles and purring and reaching up to be held and Nico- he can’t ignore her obviously.

So they’re just standing there holding their respective cats, this other third one sitting between them unconcerned and licking its paw and then Hazel comes around the corner to find this scene and her first thought is “What spies has Hecate sent now and put these boys under thrall?”

Three pointing spider man meme

The truth comes out and they’re like, oh cool.

Alternatively:

When Nico’s  leaving with the statue he passes by Leo and a pair of eyes peeks out from his partly unzipped backpack and Leo spots them and shouts  “I see you Frank!”

Because the thought that made the most sense to him is that Frank got swept up in the praetor duty thing and wanted to clear his camps name but didn’t want to disappoint the rest of them by leaving. 

This is of course not the case, and Nico jumps and the cat jumps and yowls and scratches her way out of the pack and takes off down the hill.

Where Hazel and Frank are standing looking at this scene. 

Leo tries to help Nico find the cat but gets distracted by Frank asking if Leo actually thought he’d leave the quest like that.

“I don’t know man! It was just the first thing that made sense! I see an unidentified animal hanging around, I assume it’s you!”

As Leo explains the very scientific (but not at all possible) theory that popped into his head in that split second that maybe Frank turned himself into one of those starfish that could regrow their entire bodies from one leg- “That’s not an actual thing, Leo.”- and then regrew himself and then turned back human and then one of him turned cat, he manages to get Nico’s attention and tosses him a bag of cat treats.

Maybe this doesn’t work and because of the timing of the shadows Nico has to leave without his cat, so Leo promises to find her before the Argo leaves. Which yeah in the long run staying on the ship is the safest option, but Nico’s still peeved about it by ToA and that’s why he’s mad- though it’d be more like annoyance at that point- at Leo.

Or maybe it works too well and all three cats appear, and this isn’t the most opportune time for that. They see how attached the cats are to each other and Nico’s like 🙄 fine whatever, she better make it out of this without a scratch, Leo.

Which she does, obviously.

Just imagine Hazel doing witchy business with the shadows of three cats hanging around her, she feels very badass and very adored. Arion is displeased at his person’s attention being divided from him but they’re cats so of course not even he is going to win anything against them. They sometimes just ride around on his back and he trots around slow enough to be comfortable for them. 

If you wanna be sad and yearning about it then Nico taking care of Leo’s cat after his death and all those Associated Feelings and then being peeved all over again when his letter arrives and muttering to the cat(s) at like every opportunity, “When your father gets home-“ just to have a reason to talk about Leo.

(Percy does confirm at some point that those regenerating starfish do in fact exist and Frank is Not Happy about losing that debate)

[timtwylan]

hear me out. nico and leo.

What’s one underrated friendship or relationship you wish we could’ve saw more of in the PJO universe? Or gotten to see?

[ambriel-angstwitch]

Leo: You have to learn to love yourself.

Nico: don't you hate yourself?

Leo: yes. but this is about you. stay focused.

[threemoonwatchers]

Leo: We gotta hit the gwiddy. Multiple times.

Leo: And also set fire to our enemies.

Nico, just now tuning in: What?

valdangelo (Leo/Nico)

*elaboration in the tags is appreciated but please be respectful of others or you’ll be blocked, thank you!

[maraudersarecanon]

I feel like they would be the totally unlikely friends everyone would be baffled by but they would actually be really good for each other

thoughts on platonic valdangelo?

hello, @wants-to-marry-sirius-black, 👋! thanks so much for the ask!

when I first thought of it and I'm sure other people will have that thought too, is 'no'. cuz everybody knows leo is this loud annoying guy and nico is this quiet introverted person who you, well, really don't want to annoy, yk?

but the more I thought of it, the more it worked in my brain. maybe not during the events of hoo, but maybe after tsats era they would totally be friends. they both have a very dry humour which compliment each other, along with their trauma which they can connect to (similar trauma of not finding anyone to love them).

I think that when nico is able to open up more, which he definitely would after all that happened, I feel like he would go from just tolerating Leo's humour to actually finding it silly and funny 😁😁

[verseorvoidpiratespjo]

I’ve decided to start posting my WIPs here to make sure they save and shit

This is from the song called ‘Insane’ 

it’s so good

I'll let you know when to play it

Also Leo didn’t pick up Caly, he’s at chb after BoO

“Pleaseeeeee” as of right now, Leo is begging Nico to sing with him for the camp talent show. “We'll look so badass” he pleaded. “No” Nico refused. “I’ll get OJ” that sure as hell shut Nico up. “Fine” Nico said with an eye roll. “YESSS! LOVE YOU, PRINCE. BYE!” Leo yelled over his shoulder as he ran out of cabin 13. Nico laughed at his friend, and slept. SIKE he listened to ‘Wife Pleaser’ for two hours until he slept.

The next morning, the fire gremlin started banging on our little emo’s door. AT 7 IN THE MORNING MIND YOU. “Fuck this” Leo muttered under his breath, the gremlin decided to pick the lock. “RISE AND GRIND, SUNSHINE” Leo yelled enthusiastically. “Valdez call me ‘sunshine’ another time” Nico’s voice was threatening, the kind that would make you piss your pants if you didn’t know him. Fortunately, Leo did know him. Leo smirked “My bad, didn’t know that was for your boyfriend onl- OH SHIT NICO GET THEM OFF ME” Leo shrieked. Nico started wheezing of laughter. The rat skeletons crawled off of Leo and back into the ground. Leo stuck his tongue out at Nico. “Had your fun? Good, we should practice” Leo was apparently, really eager for this. Nico, being the good friend he is, agreed.

Time skip to the performance because who tf is patience 

It was our favorite pairs turn. Will Solace called up “NICO AND LEO, SINGING INSANE”

play it (underline is Leo singing and italics is Nico)

They got in position.

Dearly beloved, let me introduce to you, hells greatest arrival, the equal opportunity killer, ALASTOR

At the first beat Leo clasped Nico’s hand in a handshake position.

Hello it’s nice to meet you

a-can you tell me where I am

I don’t know how I got here,

but I-I think I’m starting to understand

I don’t belong among the Angels

and maybe that’s just fine with me

The things I did up there were highschool

but now I’m going for my degree 

Yes, it’s a song fic

it slaps though

i got bored and didn’t want to post a whole ass chapter just for another WIP

I already have one

I’ll post the finished product once it’s out

Does a ship count?

Because…

Welp...
