“Your husband got in a fight with my wife again” Nyssa says unimpressed, “Pretty sure she finally cursed him”

“Hiiiiiiii baby” Leo grins, pupils already blown and darkening still now that he’s spotted Jason. He kicks his feet a little in excitement, then tries and fails at standing, collapsing into a heap on the floor with a giggle

“I think he's Love Drunk” Nyssa sighs “Drew didn't tell me exactly what she did before she stormed off, but I know the signs by now”

“Was he poking the bear again?” Jason asks his sister in law

“What else does he do with my wife” Nyssa rolls her eyes with a shrug “Please remove him before my next block, I have Katie”

Makes sense, their goddaughter doesn't need the scare

“It's not gonna hurt him or anything”

“Nah, It just makes everything all intense, exacerbates positive emotions” Nyssa explains “He might be real touchy-clingy. Makes me extra horny, but only when Drews around. It depends on the people near you”

“Oh!?” Jason side-eyes his sister-in-law with a shit eating grin. Nyssa pauses before flushing a bright shade of red as she realizes what she said

“Just - just get him out of here” she splutters, waving them off and not meeting his eyes

“This conversation isn't over” he needles good-naturedly as he goes to get his husband

“It absolutely is!” Nyssa shoots back retreating deeper into the fordge

“Hi” Leo greets him from his puddle on the floor

“Hi Dulcedo” Jason says fondly “you really need to stop antagonizing your sister-in-law”

Leo just giggles and blushes and hides his face in his hands like a schoolgirl with their first crush

“What?” he asks as he crouches down next to him

“M’ your dulce” Leo beams behind his hands, ears pink “Me!”

“The one and only” it's unfair how cute this is making Jason’s husband “Let's go take a nap, sleep this off.” Leo bites his lip nodding yes and reaches for him

[queenjunothegreat]

There's a Lost Hero rewrite that lives in my heart and nowhere else in which Nyssa and Drew go instead of Leo and Piper and Jason is stuck third-wheeling his own quest while Drew does her dead level best to get her girl and Nyssa is too busy stressing about saving the world to pay attention to her.

scenes from an italian restaurant - billy joel

A bottle of red, a bottle of white

Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight

I'll meet you anytime you want

In our Italian restaurant

Jason fiddled with the edge of the red and white tablecloth, keeping one of his wrists up on the table so he could read the time on his watch.

6:00 PM.

He had been waiting for Leo fifteen minutes now, trying not to tap his foot on the tile floor but doing it anyway. The click, click, clicking sound was drowned out amongst the chatting of the other guests. His eyes darted up, leaving the table for one second in hopes of seeing his best friend (date! Leo was his date now) sliding into the seat across from him and making up a crazy story about how Festus got held up in traffic or something. As far as he knew, there were no traffic jams in the sky, but maybe he had run into an airplane. Or a helicopter. Or a drone. Or a kite.

Point was, Leo was late, and Jason never claimed to be a calm and collected man.

Jason had finally gotten the nerve to ask his friend out after multiple pep talks from Piper, Percy, Nico, and probably a good 70% of his friends and acquaintances as a whole. Things had gone smoothly, and Jason had thankfully stopped himself before he recited a love poem. Well, Leo had stopped him, but Jason wasn’t upset about it because it was with the words “I’d love to go on a date with you, Jason!”

Jason had suggested what Nico had suggested- an Italian restaurant on the edge of the city. Leo had eagerly accepted and they had set it up for 5:45 the following day.

6:01 PM.

Leo was late, sure, but he was always late, right? Hell, the guy had been late to his own birthday party this year. He had been late to every one of his SAT practice tests and still passed it. He had been late to the 4th of July fireworks and still managed to look gorgeous under the lights, though Jason suspected he would have been pretty even if he had arrived a whole month after it had ended. He could be late for a date. Totally.

He tapped his foot a little faster.

What had Leo been doing before the date? Jason had attempted to pick him up ten minutes early, thinking it would be romantic if he could fly Leo himself, but Nyssa had answered the door instead with an uncharacteristically mischievous grin. “It’s bad luck to see the bride before the wedding,” she explained before she slammed the door in his face.

He could have sworn he heard Drew and Piper yelling in the background, something about eyeshadow. Look better with a shimmer this, green wouldn’t look good that, what about orange, so on and so forth.

Come to think of it, why had they been arguing about eyeshadow anyways? It wasn’t unusual to find the two daughters of Aphrodite in the Hephaestus Cabin, as Piper was Leo’s best friend and Drew was Nyssa’s girlfriend, but they would never argue about makeup of all things. Piper was happy to let Drew take the lead on nearly all cases, except for when they were playing Pretty Pretty Princess and Drew tried to do eyeliner on Leo when he won. Piper kept correcting her form (incorrectly, Jason might add), adding snarky comments about the evenness, and it almost led to a full-on brawl-

Wait.

Were… were they doing Leo’s makeup?

Jason’s fears (read: hopes and dreams) were confirmed when Leo slid into the seat across from him, exactly like he pictured he would. But he now had a little bit of gold eyeshadow around the corner of his eyes, accompanied by glittering bronze at its side and a dash of smoky brown opposite it. And was that tinted gloss on his lips or was Jason in Elysium?

So distracted by the barely coherent thought of he’s got makeup on, oh my gods he has makeup on, he nearly missed the words coming out of Leo’s mouth (yup, he definitely had lipgloss on). “Sorry I’m late, Piper decided she was the supreme lord of all makeup artists so she wouldn’t let me go until she got the eyeliner just right.” Ooh, eyeliner. A good excuse to gaze into Leo’s eyes longingly. Jason would have to get Leo to wear eyeliner more often.

“Y-you look great,” Jason managed. Should he have asked Nico for makeup tips? He knew the son of Hades could do a killer smoky eye. Jason doubted he could pull that off, though.

Leo giggled. Jason tried not to have a stroke (in a good way, were Leo to ask). “Thanks. You too, by the way. Loving the whole sitcom dad look.”

Jason cast a glance down at his light blue shirt and tan slacks. “I should have asked somebody other than Will for fashion advice.”

Leo snorted. Jason tried not to have a brain aneurysm. “You’re right. I would’ve told you to ask Piper, but I kinda stole her, didn’t I?”

“You can have Piper,” Jason blurted, “I only wanted you.”

Leo’s eyes widened and the corner of his mouth twitched up. Jason tried not to spontaneously combust- that was Leo’s job, and he took it very seriously considering the fact that his head promptly burst into flames.

Jason panicked for a solid five seconds before Leo shook his head like a dog trying to dry itself to put it out. His curls were a little out of place now, but Jason didn’t mind. It was a good look on Leo. Then again, he thought everything was a good look on Leo, even slightly smoky hair and slightly melted eyeshadow.

“You mean that?” Leo squeaked.

Jason nodded. “I would’ve wanted you even if I had to wait a decade for you to show up.”

Leo grinned. “That’s really sweet, Jace.”

Jason mirrored it. “Yeah, well, so are you.”

[ottpopfic]

“Don't be mad but he got me a few times” Leo confesses “I didn't want to make a fuss and scare the Moms more”

“How bad?”

“Not too bad” he tells him “Can you check my back?”

Leo pulls his undershirt over his head with a wince as he turns on the counter to face the mirror, one leg curling close while the other goes out for balance to brace his foot on the back of the toilet next to them

Jason sucks in air through his teeth at the sight. “Gods Leo.”

He's covered in little bruises and welts from the acid and stones, most of which are small almost nothing marks whereas others are palm sized or raised with blisters. Combine it with the dark red-purple scars from being crushed to death and having his spine severed from his fall it makes his back look like a war zone

“In my defence the big one is from Nyssa throwing a wrench at me”

Jason squints at him suspiciously, meeting his eyes in the mirror “What did you do?”

“Why are you so sure it's my fault” Jason just keeps looking at him with a deadpan expression “okay fiiine,” Leo groans with a roll of his eyes, leaning his head back so he can see Jason upside down “I might have been bullying Drew in front of her. Again.”

“I have no sympathy for you then” Jason kisses him on the forehead anyways “You deserve it”

“Divorce”

“Mmm” Jason kisses the bruise, its right in the soft spot above his right wing bone and a nasty shade of purple “Stop antagonizing your sister in law and I'll consider it”

Leo splutters out a laugh as he sits right again “How does that make sense?” but Jason doesn't answer, he's too busy getting his mouth on him

He kisses first over the warranted sibling injury, now that Jason is looking he can see the outline of the head of an adjustable wrench, a big one too. It still deserves its own gentle loving, Jason licking over it when he's kissed around the edges

“Don't lick the burn ones” Leo tells him, voice a little tight from the doteing “They itch”

“Mm, let me clean them?” they might still have acid in the wounds, Jason knows from experience its nearly impossible to do first aid on yourself while flying and being pursued for days straight

“Kay”

Jason wipes him down with a damp clean washcloth, then goes back over each burn with the antiseptic. He's extra careful, taking his time with it as to not hurt his husband more, worried about bursting the raised blisters. But Leo is warming under his hands in that way he does, breathing getting sharper sighing when it feels good, Jason knows what that means

When he's done he sets the cloth aside in the sink, plastering his chest to his Leo’s back, hands wandering across his front. Smoothing his palm heavy down his hip, pulling his body closer by the grip there in the sensitive join. Leo sighs again as Jason feels him up, leaning hard into him and reaching over his shoulder for the back of Jason's neck. His other hand goes to the matching extended leg, taking Leo by the knee and holding him more open

“Jason” Leo breaths, unfurling the tucked leg as far as he can, shin knocking against the facet. “Jason”

“Yeah?” Jason asks, already undoing the button on his pants

“Fuck yeah” his Leo agrees

Jason slides his hands through his fly, palming Leo in his boxers. Leo lets out a huge exhale and goes nearly limp, trusting Jason to hold him and take care of him now that he's home and safe, head lulling onto his shoulder, it makes that little feral part in the back of Jason’s head go content.

He's going to take such good care of his Leo, going to make him all better. Leo is home, where he's supposed to be, where Jason is. They are home and safe together

Connor Stoll and Drew Tanaka are friends actually

Malcolm Pace is also Drew's friend too

She told me herself that Nyssa Barrera is her girlfriend really

[queenjunothegreat]

Oookie dokie! Back for day two of trying to finish up these prompts! I've been blabbering about how much I love Dryssa recently, so I decided to put my money where my mouth is! It's not EXACTLY the prompt or story I would have picked to explore with them, but I still had fun, so I hope you do, too!

So, here is Ao3 Collection Day Thirteen: Enemies to Lovers

Drew struggled valiantly to keep her cheeks from turning scarlet, but she doubted she was doing all that well. “How… much of that did you hear?” Nyssa observed her for a moment, but Drew couldn’t help but notice that the usual hostility in her eyes was notably absent. Then, a little smile played at the corner of her lips. “I don’t think you really want me to answer that.” Drew sucked her teeth for a moment, her face pulling down in a scowl in an attempt to mask her embarrassment. “Interesting. In that case, please excuse me. I must abdicate the throne to Piper and prepare to live out my days as a hermit in the woods. With any luck, one of the wolves will eat me before winter falls.” Nyssa actually let out a loud, boisterous laugh before she clapped her hand to her mouth. Drew felt like her head was spinning. In the nearly two years that she’d known Nyssa, not once had she ever heard the other girl laugh, much less at something Drew had said. Her laugh was a bright and brassy sound, similar to a slightly out of tune trumpet, and Drew found herself absolutely enchanted by it. *** Drew and Nyssa mend burned bridges at a ball Ao3 Anniversary Collections Day thirteen: Enemies to Lovers

Drew’s gaze swept across the ballroom again, eyebrows furrowing in irritation. The ball had started nearly two hours ago, and all of the guests should have been here by now, including–

“She’s not gonna show up.”

Drew whirled around to see Piper grinning up at her. At twelve years old, Piper was mischievous and clever and too damn perceptive for her own damn good. She was also annoying. 

“What are you talking about?” Drew grit out, reminding herself that as a princess she was not allowed to chase down her little sister and throw her in the river. Not in front of all their guests at least. 

“I’m talking about Nys-sa,” Piper said, sing-songing the girl’s name. “Who else would I be talking about?”

“And what makes you think she’s not coming?”

“I asked Leo, duh,” Piper scoffed. “He said she told their dad she refused to go. Besides, even if she did show up, she’s not gonna talk to you. She hates you, remember?”

Drew felt a vein throb in her forehead at the reminder. For all her skills and attributes, Drew often failed at first impressions and Nyssa Barrera was a prime example of that. Their initial meeting had gone about as poorly as possible, and Nyssa had made every effort to ensure that Drew never got the chance to remove her foot from where she’d so thoroughly inserted it in her own mouth. “Shut up, you don’t know anything.”

“I know that you’re gonna die a lonely old hag because every time you fall in love you manage to run them off!”

Drew grit her teeth so hard the grinding sound rang loud in her ears. “I’m going to kill you when we’re done here,” she hissed. “I’m gonna strangle you and then I’m gonna hang out the front window of the highest tower so everyone will know what happens to annoying little brats.”

Piper didn’t seem remotely phased, she just grinned wider. “You can’t catch me,” she taunted. “You’re too old and slow and busy drooling over girls who don’t even like you.”

“Why don’t you go find your stupid little friends and play your stupid little games and get the hell away from me?” Drew suggested. “I’m pretty sure I saw Thalia, so Jason’s bound to be around here somewhere. I don’t know where Leo is and I don’t care. I hope he doesn't show up, just to make you miserable.”

“No, Leo’s here,” Piper informed her brightly, her grin curling up like a snake’s.

“Yeah? Where is he?”

“He’s standing right behind you with his sister.”

Drew felt all the blood rush out of her face and she once again spun around on her heel. If she kept this up, she was going to ruin the intricate hairstyle she’d been given. 

Sure enough, Leo Valdez was standing right in front of her, grinning just the same as Piper. “Hiya, Drew.”

“Leo, why don’t you and Piper go find something to do?” Nyssa suggested, her voice even and cold as frozen glass. “Something away from here?”

“Can do,” Leo agreed easily. “Come on, Pipes. Hero Boy is stuck talking to Octavian and I think he’s gonna die if we don’t save him.”

“Coming!” Piper chirped, and within a moment, they’d both disappeared into the crowd.

That just left Drew and Nyssa standing together in silence.

Drew struggled valiantly to keep her cheeks from turning scarlet, but she doubted she was doing all that well. “How… much of that did you hear?”

Nyssa observed her for a moment, but Drew couldn’t help but notice that the usual hostility in her eyes was notably absent. Then, a little smile played at the corner of her lips. “I don’t think you really want me to answer that.”

Drew sucked her teeth for a moment, her face pulling down in a scowl in an attempt to mask her embarrassment. “Interesting. In that case, please excuse me. I must abdicate the throne to Piper and prepare to live out my days as a hermit in the woods. With any luck, one of the wolves will eat me before winter falls.”

Nyssa actually let out a loud, boisterous laugh before she clapped her hand to her mouth. Drew felt like her head was spinning. In the nearly two years that she’d known Nyssa, not once had she ever heard the other girl laugh, much less at something Drew had said. Her laugh was a bright and brassy sound, similar to a slightly out of tune trumpet, and Drew found herself absolutely enchanted by it, even if she felt her cheeks turn a shade darker. 

“I must say, I’m surprised,” Nyssa finally commented. “The great Drew Tanaka felled by some meaningless taunts by her own sister? I thought you were too quick for something like that.”

“It wasn’t her taunts that did me in, it was knowing her audience,” Drew admitted, refusing to look Nyssa in the eye. 

Nyssa was quiet for a moment before she finally said, “Well, if it makes you feel any better, her taunts will bring you no quarrel from me.”

Drew stiffened before she squinted at Nyssa suspiciously. “Really>’

“Really,” Nyssa confirmed.

“Well. That’s– That’s good, I suppose,” Drew said haltingly. “I doubt it would do either of us much good to have you hate me more than you already do.”

Nyssa chewed her bottom lip for a moment. “I suppose you’re not wrong about that.”

Drew refrained from staring down at her toes or fleeing the conversation to go wail about the injustices of romance into her pillow like a banshee. Instead, she looked around the room again at all the people laughing and dancing together. At all the dresses shimmering in the light and swishing around with every twirl. Then she glanced back at Nyssa. She wore a mix of orange and red like the rest of her family, and the color contrasted her dark hair and eyes in a way that made Drew’s heart sing. Drew swallowed thickly. She supposed there wouldn’t be a better time to pluck up her courage than right now, seeing as she had so little to lose. It’s not like things could get any worse between them, at any rate.

“Ask me to dance,” Drew said, trying to sound demanding instead of desperate.

Nyssa actually looked around to see if anyone had approached them before she furrowed her brows at Drew. “Are you talking to me?”

“Yes, obviously. Who else would I be talking to?” Drew snapped. Then Nyssa arched her eyebrows and Drew darted her gaze away. “Please?”

Nyssa hummed softly, and Drew really thought she’d be left alone there, waiting for an invitation to dance that would never come. But then a big, calloused hand was offered to her, palm up, and Drew lifted her head to see Nyssa smiling at her, cheeks a shade or two darker than before. “Drew Tanaka, may I have this dance?”

Drew thought for a second that she’d do something embarrassing like cry or burst into song, but instead she smiled, and took the hand. “Gladly.”

Don't think about how Dryssa would be a big part into Drew's character development. Don't think about how Drew would resent the Hephaestus because of Silena falling for Beckendorf. Don't think about Drew developing feelings for Nyssa after always being paired with her during capture the flag due to Piper and Leo. Don't think about how confused she would be not because Nyssa is a girl, but because she's from cabin 9. Don't think about her finally opening up to Piper explained why she's so conflicted. Don't think about Nyssa having a crush on Drew but thinking it could never work because Drew hates her cabin. Don't think about Nyssa making Drew weapons she can actually use. Don't think about Drew flirting with Nyssa but Nyssa thinking it's in her head because there is just no way. Don't think about them finally getting together.
