A Mask - Leo Valdez

Third Person POV:

When Leo's friends would describe him they would say three things about him: he was the son of Hephaestus, he's really good at fixing things and he is always happy. One of those things was not true. Leo had a tough childhood, although the first few years were heaven. His mother and Leo always had lots of fun in the workshop and Esperanza always used to tell her son: Mi hijo siempre sonrie y rie, aunque todo parezca oscuro. (Translation: My son always smile and laugh, even if everything seems dark.) Leo always held onto those words. However, being the joker wasn't always easy in his life. Wandering from one abusive foster home to another, getting involved in drugs and alcohol after a while the jokes were just a coping mechanism to him. But when no one saw, Leo broke down, his nights were plagued with nightmares, which would leave him gasping for breath and screaming. Thankfully, he had managed to build completely sound proof foam, so no one would hear his nightly horrors. He felt like sometimes he was just a tool to his friends. He still felt guilty about his comment about Frank.

Your friends only use you, the voice said, they don't even like you. Shut up, Leo answered. "You're just pathetic, you're mother died because of you, and all you other loved ones will die because of you as well.",the voice sneered. "I said shut up!", He screamed. Slowly, he walked to an old shoebox and opened the lid to reveal several pictures and news articles. The first picture was of him and his mama. He felt tears began to rise as he still believed her death was his fault. He removed all the pictures to reveal a small pocket knife hidden between the news articles. Again he was in the bedroom, the voice telling him he was a coward, the razor cut deeper and deeper into his skin causing too much blood. Far too much blood. Leo started to feel dizzy and he collapsed. The last thing he remembers is Nico opening the door and screaming for help.

Leo awoke, but he wasn't at Camp Half-Blood, he was... on Olympus? "My hero.", a voice cut through the silence. Leo blinked and gasped recognizing the person, or the god that was standing in front of him. "Tia Callida?", he asked. "Yes, Leo, I want to do you a favor and show the other 6 your memories. I am saying this to warn you, not to ask you. They should know about your past." "NO, you can't do that, that's, that's private information!", Leo didn't want the others to see his vulnerable side, afraid that they will toss him away as soon as they see how broken he truly was. "Leo, you need to listen to me. You have wonderful friends, even if I don't like to admit liking half-bloods, they will accept you even if they see your true self." "Fine, but can you just show small snippets for a short time but they understand everything?", Leo asked hopefully. "If that's what you want, yes I can do that." "Ok, then let's go"

Leo gasped awake in the infirmary bed and saw a worried Will Solace staring at him. His friends were surrounding his bed. "Leo, I know you just woke up and all but care to explain this?", Will aasked indicating the countless scars on his arms. Leo looked around, relieved to see Hera, or Juno, standing in the far corner. He gave her a small nod and she flicked her fingers and the 7 began to see Leo's memories. They saw everything from the fire in his madre's workshop, his Aunt Rosa calling him Diablo, his abusive foster homes, him running away and... the three times he tried ending his own life only to fail. They heard the voice telling him he's a coward and that his mother died because of him. They saw the old shoebox with all the news articles and his pictures of his mother and him. They saw his recent memories, where he fainted due to his blood loss caused by his own hand. Then suddenly, the memories stopped. Leo looked at his watch relieved that "the show" only lasted for about 5 minutes.

"Leo...", Annabeth began to speak, "we didn't know." "How could you?, I mean I never told you guys anything, did I?", Leo answered. Suddenly, 6 pairsof arms hugged him and for the first time in forerver he felt truly safe.

Solangelo - ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?

Image: https://solange-lol.tumblr.com/post/190616947219/i-havent-drawn-in-over-a-month-but-i-saw-these

Note: HI I hope you have fun with this little fanfic! In this fanfic Will is only in CHB in the summer.

AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/65760055

Will has had troubled hearing since he was a kid. He was always ashamed of his disability and kept it secret a lot. Once he got claimed by Apollo he discovered that he was no good in music or archery due to his hearing however once he found his gift for healing, Will was euphoric. At camp he met the son of Hades, Nico, in which he fell in love with. He would often try to avoid wearing hearing aids as much as possible at camp, he liked the silence when he was busy working in the infirmary anyway but the doctor told him his hearing got so worse by the year to the point that he couldn't avoid wearing the hearing aids anymore.

He could still remember the first time he got fitted for hearing aids. "But I hate them, why do i need to wear them?", Young Will asked his mother. "You'll hear much better, sweetie. I promise." Will still refused to wear them and mischievously slid the hearing aids off every time his mom didn't look. Unfortunately, one day some kids saw him. "Hey, whatcha got there, sucker? Oh, aren't those hearing aids. Oh, now we got Deaf Will, don't we? Deaf Will! Deaf Will! What a loser!", they said as they kicked Will to the ground and crushed his hearing aids.  Will quickly shook his head, that won't happen again, he muttered.

After a few months Will was back at camp. "Don't forget to put your hearing aids out when you go swimming honey, m'kay?", his mother told him before she drove off. As his mother's car quickly vanished to the distance, Will put his hearing aids out and carefully slid them into his backpack. He had almost mastered lip reading over the year and was confident he didn't need them over the summer. He rejoined his boyfriend, who happily greeted him. Nico didn't look that good, mentally that is, and Will was starting to worry. 

After a few days Will was leaving in the infirmary and heading towards his cabin, when Nico was running towards him. Of course, Will didn't hear and unknowingly slammed the door at Nico. Nico was sad and furious he rushed into Will's room seeing his back facing him and Will singing some kind of melody. "Hey, what was that? I was shouting, why didn't you answer?", Nico said trying to keep his voice down, "y'know it's really been hard for me these past few weeks and I was hoping we could talk." Will still seemed like he was ignoring Nico. "HEY, ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME!", Nico screamed. Will jumped from his chair, feeling the vibrations and slight sound, to face Nico, who was on the verge of tears. "N-Nico? Since when are you here?" Seeing the worried and confused expression on his boyfriends face, Nico's face softened. "Will, I was literally talking and screaming at you. You didn't hear me? Is there something you need to tell me?", Nico asked the boy concerned.

Will sighed and slowly reached for his backpack. With shaking hands he pulled out his hearing aids and slid them on his ears. "This is why." In Nico's mind the puzzle pieces were starting to fall in place. Will's absented mind, him understanding phrases wrongly and how he managed to stay calm in loud situations. "Why didn't you tell me?", Nico asked. "I was scared you'd judge me and stuff like that", Will muttered fidgeting his hands. Nico lifted Will's head up, forcing him to look at his face. "Listen to me, you will never ever have to hide something from me, ok?", Nico said, "never." Will smiled before asking Nico: "Hey, why were you here in the first place?", Will asked.

"Oh, that, yeah, I was just hoping we could talk. These past few weeks were hard for me...", Nico began. "Oh, sure. Of course we can talk.", Will said with a smile on his face. He carefully slid his hearing aids off and began to put them in his backpack when Nico stopped him. "Have them on. I want you to feel yourself next to me." Will grinned and promised to never ever let anybody hurt their relationship.

Mattheo Riddle x Reader - "He's ruining me!"

Note: So, this was my first ever fanfic so it's not my favourite piece of work but thought I'd give it a share to the fellow tumblr community.

658 Words

House: Slytherin

Mattheo and you have been dating for nearly a year now and he has been a little closed off. You almost know everything about him except everything regarding his father and his pain. You know about his dark mark but you don't really know what it does and what kind of pain it can cause Mattheo. But one day, you find out.

PS: You and Mattheo share a room.

Reader's POV:

Mattheo has been acting weird all day, I thought. I had seen him in classes but even though he looked like he was paying attention in class, I could see something was off about him. Everytime I tried walking towards him, he quickly changed direction and avoided eye-contact. I noticed how he was slightly wincing every few seconds but just thought he pulled his arm at quidditch training or something like that. However, I was starting to get worried.

After lunch, I noticed that he disappeared from lessons completely. Normally, I wouldn't be worried but judging by his weird behavior today, I couldn't get my mind off. "Hey have you seen Mattheo?", I asked Pansy in Potions class. "Nope, I heard he had some kind of event he needed to go to, why?", she answered. For a moment I was stunned. An event? And he didn't tell me? That definitely didn't sound right. "Nothing, I was just wondering where he went", I answered quickly just as the bell rang. That was the last lesson for today, I hoped Mattheo was in our room.

Once I got there, I immediately heard the shower faucet running. "Why is he showering? He usually showers in the morning.", I muttered to myself. After 10 minutes I decided that something was wrong and slowly walked towards the bathroom door and opened it. I gasped as I saw Mattheo running cold water over his forearm, where his dark mark was. The mark was visibly red and had fingernail scratching on them. "Mattheo?", I asked. Mattheo's head quickly turned towards me, I could see tears in his eyes for a second but then his cold glare stared at me. "Y/n, you need to go NOW", he screamed. I was too surprised to say anything and just stumbled out of the bathroom. Moments later, Mattheo came running out, grabbed his wand and rushed out.

I don't know how long I sat there waiting for him to return. Mattheo was such a softie, I was sure he had some reason to just storm out like that. Just before I fell asleep I heard the door open and a soft pain-filled grunt. I slowly opened my eyes expecting the cold Mattheo that stormed out hours ago but stared in shock at the soft Mattheo I knew slowly sinking to the floor and crying. "M-Mattheo? Are you alright? What happened?", I asked. I slid out of bed and ran towards him, trying to hug him. However I stopped in my tracks as I say the blood sweeping through his clothes. I reacted quickly and yelled "Episkey!" only to see that it did nothing. "That won't work", Mattheo grunted, "that doesn't work on cruciatus curse wounds."

"Cruciatus Curse?", I asked in shock. "Yeah, I didn't follow my father's orders so he punished me first with the agonizing pain from my fucking death mark and then crucio. And I thought it was the last time", he muttered under his breath. "HE'S RUINING ME!", he screamed. Now everything made sense, the wincing, the irritation, his sudden disappearance. "Why didn't you tell me?", I asked. "Idk, i was too ashamed i guess", Mattheo answered looking at me with puppy eyes. I held his hand. "You never ever have to be ashamed to tell me anything ok?" Mattheo nodded and he fell asleep smiling.

First post!

I swear nobody will see this but here goes, I guess. I'm a teen writer, marauders fan, pjo fan (not hoo just yet), and countless other fandoms to write fanfics for. So if anyone does see this I'm always open for requests (especially if I have a writer's block).
