My first ever fanfic

Frazel fanfic 06/12/24

Hazel learns about slinkies.

(Warning: it's long)

Hazel and Leo were in the living room with her son, Sammy, when they heard the door open.

“I’m home!”

“Hey man!” Leo got up and walked over to the door to greet Frank, and helped him bring his bags to the kitchen. “How was shopping?”

“It was great! I even found a slinky for Sammy at Dollarama when I was getting the popsicle sticks.”

“You got a slinky? Hey Hazel, Frank got a slinky for Sammy!”

“A huh what now?”

“A  sl-in-ky.” He said it slowly and clearly for her to hear better.

“A what?”

“Gods, I swear, you’re so deaf-” He walked back into the living room, leaving Frank to his bags. “Frank got a slinky for Sammy.”

“Leo, that doesn’t help. What in the world is a slinky?”

“You know…” He faltered, seeing her blank expression. “You seriously don’t know what a slinky is?”

“No… Should I?”

“What in the- FRANK!”

“What?” Frank hollered from the kitchen.

“Come here!”

“I’m busy! Come here and help!” Leo walked into the kitchen.

“Thanks, do you know where-” Leo grabbed his arm and dragged him into the living room. “Hey! The ice cream’s gonna melt!”

“The ice cream will be fine, come on.”

“Ith cweem?” Sammy babbled from his chair.

Hazel sighed. “No, Sammy, you can have ice cream later.” Leo and Frank walked into the living room.

“Hey darling!” Hazel got up and hugged Frank, kissing him on either cheek. Frank blushed, smiling, and kissed her properly.

“Dada!”

“Hey, Sammy,” Frank said, getting down on one knee to better look at his son. “How are ya?” Sammy cooed.

“Hate to interrupt,” Leo interjected, ”but I brought you here for a reason.”

“What happened?”

“Hazel doesn’t know what a slinky is.”

“What do you mean?” Frank asked, looking away from his son. “ ‘Course she does.”

“What is a slinky? Because it sounds like a naughty dance move, and Frank would not get that for our child, I know that much.”

“Wha- really? You don’t know what a slinky is?”

“No! What on Gaia’s green earth is this thing?”

“Here, I’ll go get it and show you.” Leo walked out, but returned shortly, slinky in hand. “This is a slinky.”

Hazel looked at it disapprovingly. “That is a metal coil.”

“Well, yeah, but…”

“But it’s fun!” Frank got up and took the slinky from Leo, holding it in both hands, so it would slink between them. Hazel looked at it with dazed eyes, instantly bewitched.

“Wow… How- what- wow…”

Frank held it out to her. “You wanna try?

She was up on her feet in an instant. “YES!” She slinked it between her hands, fully entranced. “This is so cool…”

“What does Sammy think?” Leo asked, walking over to the boy and wagging his finger. “Does Sammy like the slinky?”

“Look at this, Sammy!” Hazel showed him the slinky. She had happy tears in her eyes. “Look at it.”

Sammy cooed, amused by the flashy movement.

“How have you never seen a slinky before?” Frank inquired.

“I don’t know. I grew up in 1930’s New Orleans. We never had these.”

“But- surely these are older than you,” Frank rummaged in his pockets and presented a golden drachma. “I’m Iris messaging Annabeth. Leo, can you please make sure the ice cream doesn’t melt?”

“Alright, fine,” Leo said begrudgingly.

“Hey, Annabeth!” Frank said through the Iris message. She was sitting on the couch watching a movie with Percy. “Oh! Hi Percy!”

“Oh!” Percy turned off the movie. “Hi Frank!”

“What’s up?” Annabeth got up and walked over to the Iris message, Percy following suit.

“What do you know about slinkies?”

“That’s a random question-”

“I KNOW!” Frank jumped, and they both looked at Percy, startled.

“What?”

“In school, we had to do a presentation about a household object, so I chose a slinky.”

“So, what do you know?”

“Why do you want to know, Frank?” Annabeth asked.

“Well, Hazel’s never heard of them.”

“Well, that would make sense. They were invented in 1943. Didn’t she die around- ow!”

“You can’t just ask that, Percy!” Annabeth hissed.

“Nah, it’s okay. She’s not that sensitive about it. And she died in 1942.”

“Huh. Well, tell her and Sammy we say hi!”

“HI ANNABETH,” Leo said loudly, walking into the room. Upon seeing Percy, he said, “oh! Hey Percy.”

“Oh hi Leo!”

“HELLO LEO,” Percy said, in the same tone and volume as Leo had.

“How are ya?”

“I’m great! I’m staying with Hazel and Frank to help out with Sammy.”

“Oh fun! We should all have game night sometime!” Percy loved game night. He had best luck, Annabeth had best strategy.  They were an unstoppable team, but everyone else still had fun.

“Yeah! That sounds cool!” Especially Frank. He loved board games.

“FRANK, SAMMY’S A BEAR AGAIN.”

“Coming! Leo, would you please put away the rest of the groceries?”

“On it.”

“Well bye! Nice seeing you!” He moved to wave away the Iris message, but Annabeth stopped him.

“Wait! Saturday at our place?”

“We’d love to see Sammy again!” Percy loved Sammy, and he got along great with Estelle.

“Yeah! Okay!”

“Bye!” Annabeth waved the Iris message away, and Frank went to help Sammy back to human form.

There are two things in that Iris message scene that nobody seems to talk about:

First of all I love the visual effects team for how they portrayed that, it was a clean slay and so fucking pretty.

And I love the change from tossing it into a reflective body of water into a literal rainbow that they created via a prism. That's such a smart choice.

New child of hades!! Anything I should know about before I settle??

Apparently there’s a bunker under cabin 13?? There’s a rumor it’s there (might not be true), uhh when you shadow travel bring snacks it takes up a lot of your energy. I’d say nutrigrain bars or Gatorade would work but those are Nico’s favorites- anyways, try not to summon the dead at camp it’s very hard to get them away -Will Solace☀️

hot take (maybe)

i know many of you think percy is the gossip guy, but in the books he usually doesn’t really care about what’s going on in other people’s lives that much. he cares about his friends obviously, but he doesn’t ever give off the vibes of being someone who would enjoy gossip and drama at all. i feel like he’s the “i didn’t ask” guy. like tell me this isn’t how it would go

annabeth: oh good you’re home! how were the guys?

percy: good. i tried to teach frank to skateboard. it… it didn’t go very well. that guy is strong as fuck but he has terrible balance!

annabeth: i could have told you that. is anything new with any of them?

percy: i don’t know. not really? although when we were watching the game, chris mentioned him and clarisse broke up. it was right before halftime when-

annabeth: WHAT?? WHY DID THEY BREAK UP??

percy: uhh, i don’t know

annabeth: okay well when did they break up?

percy: hm, i don’t know

annabeth: what do you mean you don’t know?? did he not want to talk about it??

percy: maybe. i don’t know. i didn’t ask

annabeth: you- you didn’t ask??

percy:

annabeth: this is why i need leo to be at these things!

Non-persona mutuals guess which one of these messages is canon to the game the answer will shock you

[helpallthenamesaretaken]

Rereading tlt is so funny like no one talks about percy and grovers dynamic at the start😭 like percy what do you mean you were up all night thinking about how vulnerable grover would be to bullies after you’re expelled???

[daisymintt]

I’m absolutely obsessed with the way they did the Iris messaging it looks so pretty!!!

At 13 the Percy Jackson books were my biggest escape, and coping mechanism

Watching this show at 21 and realizing how young they are, and how I was *that young* is making me sick to my stomach

(Back to the roots of this blog for a moment)

I think it’s sad the friendship between Leo and Hazel was never explored beyond HOO. Not talking about the “my first love was your great grandpa and you look just like him” thing, that shit was weird, but the fact that the minute Leo came back from Ogygia Hazel was the one to immediately clock him like “you have the look a man that is completely whipped, tell me e-ve-ry-thing!!!”. Also he only told his plan to her and Frank like???? That’s an insane level of trust!

Hope they at least have a groupchat between the three of them
