(Previous part)

The room full of eyes burned into to him, and Nico imagined this is what ants felt like under a magnifying glass. Everyone looked at him expectantly, as if he knew everything about darkness. Something’s dark? Yeah just ask Nico he’ll definitely know. That didn’t really bother him though, because he didn’t blame them. If someone were to mention storms he’d look at Jason, probably. What bothered Nico was the fear that lay behind some of their eyes, a traitor was in camp, one hiding in darkness. It was only human to be suspicious.

“…I’m not sure what it is.” Nico said, it was a half truth. He had a hollow feeling that he knew who was behind this chaos, but it was a feeling he wanted to ignore for as long as he could. But the spirits he spoke to that morning had only confirmed his deepest worries.

“Well someone wanted you dead,” Dana said, “unless..”

“Unless?” If eyes could shoot daggers, Wills eyes would be shooting swords.

“Im not insinuating anything, but my mother’s Athena so I was taught to see the bigger picture.” She seemed hesitant as she spoke, “It would be a genius plan.”

Nico’s heart stopped. He felt like his did all those years ago as he watched, behind a dream, his friends debate whether he was worth saving. As accusation of trust which had destroyed him, despite him never speaking of it. He’d hadn’t even told Will, keeping that memory locked away as it slowly ate away at his sanity.

“You can’t be serious,” Will stood up. His voice was cold and harsh as ice, as his fists clenched in a sense of rage.

“No,” Nico stood up, he put his hand on Wills arm. Will had always fought tooth and nail for him, Nico wished he didn’t have to. Every time Wills gentle demeanor turned to that of anger, it made Nico feel an all consuming sense of shame; if only he could be more simple, more easy to handle. “It’s fine, if that’s what you think.” He tried to keep his voice steady, each breath he took brought him back to that table, that ship, that jar.

The room suddenly felt suffocating, the air felt too stale, he felt trapped again.

Will turned to him, his brows knit in utter concern, “Are you okay?”

His words felt muffled beneath the ringing in Nico’s ears, “Y-yeah..I just need a moment.” He didn’t want to, but his body took over as he rushed out of the front door. A second longer in that room had been unimaginable.

As his shoes hit the grass, it withered. He cursed under his breath as he tried to steady his hands.

“You’re not in that stupid jar, pull yourself together,” He muttered leaning against the wall along the side of the big house. Whatever breathing exercises Mr D. had taught him dissipated with his panic. He knew how stupid it was, running away as soon as someone accused him. That was probably the most suspicious thing that someone could do. ‘Oh are you the murderer’ ‘No, bye!’

Still, his stomach felt like as if it had been tied into several knots, corroding him from the inside out with painful moments from the past. He felt like he was there again, watching the two people he was closest to now, debating his life. Nico had never blamed them, he’d never hated them. It was never them who hurt him, it was himself. He hated himself.

Nico would’ve stayed there, drowning in his thoughts forever, if it weren’t for the sudden sounds of clashing that echoed through the camp. It sounded as if something was skittering across the ground, followed by metal scraping against rock. His hand instinctually went to where his sword would be, but unfortunately he’d left it in his cabin. Despite that he still headed towards the strange sound, attempting to be as silent as possible.

When he peeked around the corner he saw Mae, a new camper who had shown up with her younger brother Sam a week ago. They had been claimed as children of Hecate the night they showed up. The two of them reminded Nico of when he and Bianca first came to camp, he couldn’t decide if that was more painful or comforting. Unfortunately the sound wasn’t just Mae sword practicing, as a large shadowy creature stood infront of her. It was similar to a scorpion, but its form flowed with a wobbly consistency.

Mae stood there, sword in hand as she faced the creature. Her hands shook as she trembled in terror, Sam was hiding behind her. Nico could almost picture himself, that day at Westover, cowering behind Bianca as their Vice Principal turned into a monster.

The scorpion thing moved forward to strike and Nico rushed to intercept, it was incredibly stupid as he didn’t have a weapon, but still he charged ahead. Just as it thrust its claw towards Mae, Nico willed all the shadows it was made from against it. The darkness seemed to fight him, barely remaining under his control.

He bided enough time to grab the sister and brother, pushing them out of the way. “Mae, take Sam and run to the big house.” Nico said as he took the sword from her hand. His words were rushed as he could feel the scorpion regaining its control behind him.

“But I can help!” Mae’s eyes were filled with the same bravery Bianca’s had once shown.

“You don’t have to be a hero just yet okay? Just make sure Sam is safe for now,” He didn’t allow Mae to protest and she agreed, grabbing her brother by the arm and running off towards the big house.

Nico almost breathed a sigh of relief until he turned and was face to face (or what he presumed to be its face) with the creature. Up close, its shadows swirled and shifted like each was breathing on its own. Its claw lifted and swung at him, and Nico lifted his sword in an attempt to block the attack, but the sword passed through the creature like it was made of air. The claw kept going unbothered and Nico barely managed to move in time to not get chopped in half, unfortunately the sharp spikes along the claws managed to slice into his arm.

Nico reminded himself to never leave his cabin without his sword again as his arm began to drip with blood.

“What is that?!” The counselors from the big house had all began rushing out towards Nico, along with them, more campers rushed over too.

The scorpion turned towards the others, its void-like claws snapping. Nico knew there was nothing their swords could do to kill it; so in a last ditch effort he slammed his foot against the ground, a large crack spreading and swallowing the creature whole. A second later the crack sealed up, leaving a barren scar along the grass. The satyrs were going to hate him for that.

“Oh my Gods Nico what was that?” Leo had rushed forwards with Jason and Will.

“I don’t know,” Nico said through heavy breaths, the pain from the creatures claws was overpowering as it seemed to seep throughout his whole body.

“Your arm,” Wills face was pale as he gaped at the wound.

“How did that thing get into camp?” Connor asked as he stared at the large gash along the dirt.

“It shouldn’t have been able to get through the boundaries,” Chiara said.

Suddenly a lot of suspicious eyes were on Nico, again.

Will seemed to notice as he snapped towards the small group of campers gathered around them, “You can’t be serious!”

“Will we’re not saying anything it’s just…” Dana seemed reluctant to continue.

“Who else could conjure up something like that?” An Ares camper called out, Sherman quickly turned glaring towards the person who’d spoken.

“Give me one good reason why Nico would do that!” Jason yelled, and as he did the air seemed to turn electric.

The campers went silent, they all seemed to have a thought on their mind yet no one spoke it aloud.

“I get it..” Nico said cutting through the silence, his voice like a knife. “I’ll figure this out myself.”

He stepped backwards into the shadow behind him, the last thing he saw was Will eyes widening as he called out, “Wait Nico!”

Nico didn’t wait, he disappeared into the shadows, but not before Leo could manage to latch onto his arm, following him into the shadows.

As the world faded to black he heard a sharp sickeningly familiar voice in his head, Strike one little demigod.

—

Leo wasn’t sure if following Nico was incredibly smart or incredibly stupid, but with his track record it was probably the latter. His body had reacted before he’d thought about his decision though, and he was quickly pulled into the shadows. As he entered the darkness he was hit by a sense of cold from every direction, it was as if he were surrounded by nothing. He’d forgotten what shadow travel felt like, and he’d forgotten how much it sucked.

He was never more glad to see the sun when they stumbled out of the dark. They were in some park, with a vast assortment of trees spread throughout the grass. The air was warm and fresh, providing a comforting breeze as the sun shined above them.

“Valdez i’m going to-“ Nico began to say something in his usual angry tone before he doubled over onto the ground. The grass around him withered and black smoke seemed to trail off of him.

“Nico are you-“

“Shut up.” Nico cut him off, speaking through gritted teeth. Leo felt guilty, just standing there, but after a moment Nico managed to steady himself.

“Dude are you okay?” Leo asked, unable to convey the pure amount of worry he felt.

“It’s fine.” Nico took a shaky breath, struggling to stand.

Leo wanted to reach out and help him, but he had a feeling it would not of been appreciated. “That didn’t look fine.”

Nico eyes snapped towards him, “Why did you follow me?”

“Because I wasn’t going to let you run away all on your own like an idiot?”

“Who said I was running away?” Nico looked at Leo like he was stupid.

“Huh?”

Nico sighed, wiping the dirt off his hands, “I was going to try and find what’s been causing all of this. If I can find it and stop it then this whole mess will be over.”

Leo gaped at him for a moment, he felt a rush of sadness and then anger, “You thought you could just go out all on your own? By yourself?”

“I don’t want anyone else getting hurt, this is my mess.”

“First of all,” Leo felt himself heating up, literally as the tips of his hair began to smoke. “You can’t just try and solve everything on your own like that, you could get hurt, or maybe worse..secondly, how is this your mess?”

Nico paused, a hesitant look passed over his face. “Because I think I know who’s doing this.” He paused before speaking again as Leo waited for him to continue, “Nyx.”

“Nyx as in Night? Why would Night be specifically attacking you?”

“I guess I hurt her pride back in tartarus,” Nico said. Leo thought about how casually he’d said that, like that fact he’d been there twice was no big deal. “Or..”

“Or?” Leo couldn’t imagine how it could get worse.

“She’s trying to rise. I mean after Gaea rising and the Giants attacking, there must of been a lot of time for her to gather her power. She’s a goddess after all, she might be trying to rise like Kronos did.”

“Great, that’s amazing.” Leo sighed, there it went, getting worse. Unsurprisingly, they couldn’t go more than a year without something very bad happening. “So she’s coming after you first, for what, a grudge?”

“That..or it’s because i’m the only one who can really stop her, if she gets rid of me first she has a better chance of taking down camp.”

“So you go out to try and face her, on your own?” Leo felt his patience running thin, “Isn’t that exactly what she’d want?”

“I wanted to stop her, before she could hurt anyone else.” Nico looked down, he wouldn’t meet Leo’s eyes anymore, his focus now on the withered grass.

Leo felt a tinge of guilt as his anger dissipated, “You don’t have to do everything by yourself you know that? This Nyx lady, she loves darkness?” Leo’s hands sparked into flames, “Then i’ll show her some real light.”

A hint of a smile creeped onto Nico’s face, “I’m not convincing you to let me do this on my own am I?”

“Nope!” Leo’s flames turned to smoke as he reached into his tool belt, pulling out some bandages. “Now let’s get you all fixed up before we put ourselves in any further danger.”

Nico rolled his eyes, looking at the deep gashes along his arm. Something about the cuts was abnormal, yet Leo couldn’t figure it out. It was yet another moment where he realized that he could fix any machine, but when it came to humans he was seriously lacking. Again, he wished he was a doctor like Will or something, magic healing powers would be great right about now. Even ambrosia would’ve been nice, but of course the most he could give was papery bandages and some screws and bolts.

He did an extremely poor clean up job on the wound before stopping to ask, “Maine is a pretty big state, where to first?”

A dark shadow seemed to pass over Nico’s face as he met Leo’s eyes, “Westover. Me and Bianca’s last school.”

House of Hades in an Alternate Universe: Leo visits Cupid and Nico visits Ogygia

ButInstead of Leo meeting a someone who essentially forced to have feelings for him, he’s forced to confront his crush on Jason... in front of Jason. (Who likes him back, of course, but he hasn’t realized it)

Oh, and of course Nico can’t just do nothing, BOOM, he’s sent to Ogygia. But... uhm... he’s kinda gay... And so is Calypso!

“Calypso isn’t gay” And how would you know? She hasn’t seen a woman in thousands of years. So yeah, aroace lesbain Calypso, and you can’t prove me wrong.

Anyways, Boom, Nico and Calypso queer friendship where he explains what being aroace means and what comphet is and also they bond over their experiences with Percy Jackson.

ANGST POTENTIAL (cause there always is): Nico finally making a queer friend, and realizing he has to leave her.

Calypso, discovering her sexuality, realizing she’ll probably never actually experience the perfect romantic fantasy that she’s been dreaming of.

Jason struggling with confusing feelings for Leo that are... gasp... stronger than the ones he has for his own girlfriend???

#valgrace #i'm a hardcore caleo anti too #thats unrelated to being a valgrace shipper though #thing about the angst potential guys THINK ABOUT THE ANGST!!!#someone play cupid by jack stauber rn #nico di angelo #calypso #heroes of olympus #leo valdez #jason grace #thanks for coming to my ted talk #im sorry jiper is literally just a gay man and a queer woman

hoo characters playing animal crossing

percy: he would be mostly focused on fishing and diving and would be the first to complete those sections of the museum. he would purposefully go for the ugliest/weirdest villagers just bc he thinks it's funny. he would not hit them or be mean to them tho he'd feel bad about that. his island is a mess, his pockets are constantly full and he's dropped trash and random items everywhere. annabeth comes over just to tidy it sometimes. she is also his sugar daddy in the game provides for him financially, she is the only reason he even has more than one room in his house. he has random fish tanks all over his island and half of it is decorated or organized but each area is only a little bit done bc he gets distracted. aka half laid paths that are mismatched. he only has decor items that he thinks are cool like the super expensive cars and boats. sometimes after visiting annabeths island he is inspired to make his nice, but that doesnt last long. his villager doesnt look like him, it has blue hair and he rotates through a few different blue or orange shirts

annabeth: her island is planned out down to the inch and has a nice overall theme, with beautifully planned areas. she's got an italian outdoor cafe outside her shops, and atlantis themed beach etc. she picks villagers based off if their houses match her aesthetic, it's a bonus if they're cute. she also def wouldn't abuse her villagers either that's not even an option. has bred all the flowers and is dominating the turnip market like no other. she's maxed out her bank account a long time ago and just chills supporting her and percy. also they send each other gifts and love letters in the mail all the time. annabeths villager looks like her and she has different outfits depending on what activity she is doing ie. terraforming, swimming, bug catching etc.

piper: her island is purely based on cutesy cottage core aesthetics. she only allows girl villagers on her island. she would torture the ugly guy ones that she was either forced to get or accidentally got there bc she forgot to island hop. she has also bred all the flowers. she sorts her villagers based on vibes and each little neighborhood area has a specific theme going with matching decor and flowers. she would use the og animal crossing paths that take up a dozen design slots. she changes her outfit every day but her villager looks like her for the most part. she makes a lot of her own designs for clothes too

leo: probably the most insane about the game tbh. he heard piper making an all girl villager island and out of spite made his an all guy island. he also would bully villagers, trapping them in fences, hitting them with nets all that. he and piper visit and send stuff to each other the most. his island is as disarrayed as percy's but much more chaotic. he just has random campfires, bonfires and torches everywhere its like walking through a mine field. he also works the turnip market a bit but just enough to afford his chaotic spending habits. his villager always wears that one flame shirt but the hair and skin change constantly. he LOVES pitfall seeds and everyone learns pretty quickly to not come to his island unless you want to be stuck in them the entire time. he learned how to make custom designs and uses it to put random signs all over with memes and random shit

jason: he was peer pressured into getting the game and hasn't made it very far. he's still in a tent and doesn’t even have bridges or inclines unlocked so he's trapped to one section of his island. he maybe has three villagers rn and their houses are all perfectly aligned with his own. he has a few pieces of decoration outside their houses and stuff but nothing coordinating, and only his native flowers. he visits leo and pipers islands and is amazed. mostly just enjoys running around with them and doing tasks. his villager maybe has a new tshirt but otherwise the generic jeans and pants from the start screen and looks identical to him

hazel: she gets all the cutesy villagers and gets very emotionally attached to them even if they're ugly and cannot be mean to them or let them go. her island is similar to pipers but not as overwhelming. it's got some flowers and some similar decor but she's just vibing and not putting much thought into it. she is the first to become best friends with all her villagers and gives them gifts every day without fail. usually the gifts are matching outfits. she also makes sure she talks to all ten of them every day. her villager also looks like her but changes her outfit to match the gift she gave her villagers that day. she makes cute custom fits and hangs them in able sisters

frank: his island is like perfectly gridded, every house and building is spaced evenly apart and all the pathways are the same brick. leo visits and is like "bro. you dont have to make ur island as rigid as the army" and frank didnt even realize he was making it that way until just then. he doesn't really care which villagers he has as long as they're cool and doesnt get attached. he has some decor but like, the bare minimum. he spends a lot of time catching bugs and is the first to finish that section of the museum. his villager looks like him and he never changes his fit

nico: he was forced to begin playing by will and at first did not care but then several weeks later when will asks to play again suddenly nico has put in nearly 1,000 hours and has surpassed will in everything. he is stupidly rich like annabeth but no one knows how or even wants to ask bc they know he didnt work the turnip market. he probably hacked the game or found a glitch or something. his villager looks like him and always wears the same all black outfit. his island is like a big maze and everyone always gets lost bc he does a ton of terraforming. he and will are the only people who can successfully navigate it. his house never has the lights on but its pretty nicely decorated. he is the first to finish the art section of the museum and has his favs displayed around his island

will: his island is choatic but cute. like, he decorates but there's not a lot of rhyme or reason to it. he gets villagers if they're funny and bonus points if they remind him of someone he knows irl. he HAS to change his outfit every day, sometimes he changes his hair style but otherwise it looks like him. pretty chill of a player like hazel and is just happy to be there and play with his bf. he likes fishing and catching bugs. also gets high friendship levels with his villagers via gifts and would never bully any of them but isnt afraid to kick them off if they're ugly

reyna: like jason she also was forced to get the game, and like nico, doesn't care at first. but then secretly she puts in a lot of hours. like months later jason visits her island and they're like "oh shit i didn't even know you still played." her island is neatly organized, but in a mix between annabeth's and franks. it has a cohesive aesthetic but is pretty orderly. she plotted out which ten villagers she wanted before she started playing and once she gets those ten she's done searching. she made sure she had 1 of each personality type and everything. she works the turnip market but not obsessively and she has a few flower types bred but not the whole collection. there is no extra flowers or trash or any dropped items laying around and definitely no weeds. she has a daily checklist of tasks she goes through each time she plays. her villager looks like her and she probably doesnt change her fit much

i mean i feel like leo is such a bottom... i imagine him begging for more and whispering your name?? like yk what i mean??

OOOOOOOOH YES BABES. yes. THIS is the good shit.

oooh fuck fuck fuck (which is concequently exactly what he whines as you ride him. boy is SUCH a good bottom.) this man just cannot get enough of you. when you touch him he (literally) combusts. he feels like everything you do is tailored just to bring him to new depths of passion and yearning and pleasure he didn't even know existed. he can't believe he lucked out with someone as incredible as you. you make him buzz and hum and shake in a way he's never experienced. it's so addictive, YOU'RE so addictive, and he gets so completely insatiable. this boy will let you do anything to him. spit in his mouth, suck your fingers, overstimulate him till he's crying, it all sounds perfect to him because it's with you. oh my god and can this boy beg. his beathing get's so ragged and his brilliant mind is so clouded with lust that he can't even think, every cell in his body, every neuron firing off is just you you you. he doesn't even remember his own name but he can't stop moaning yours. he's grabbing at you - if his hands aren't restrained, that is - clinging to you desperately as you make him convulse, as you milk him dry, until he's shooting blanks with nothing left to give and no idea what round you're up to. by the time you're actually really done, he feels you pull off of him and lay down next to him, pulling him into your warm embrace. his mind his so foggy and fucked dumb with pleasure he still can't think, but he buries his face in your neck, in your chest, breathing in your sweet musky smell. he kisses you, relishing in the salty tast of sweat covering your skin as you play with his hair and rub his back and praise him so sweetly like you do. each of those alone would make him dizzy, but combined? it feels just as good as every orgasm you just milked out of him. everything you do, each sweet touch is pure bliss. he never wants to leave your arms, never wants to stop feeling your touch and smelling your skin and tasting your lips.

#drabbles #leo valdez #leo valdez x reader #leo valdez drabbles #leo valdez smut #heroes of olympus #heroes of olympus drabbles #heroes of olympus smut #AND MY MAN #THANK YOU TO MY MANNNNNNNN #kisses his soft lil forehead #plays with his soft lil curls #lskjfdlskjghsos #this man #guys I can't contain myself

Lost Trio/ Hunger Games Victors au

Details under the cut for y’all that wanna hear my ironic and parallel backstories and how they won [TRIGGER WARNING]:

Leo: He's from District 2 [Masonry and Weapons manufacturing] and his arena in the Hunger Games was an active volcano sight. The cornucopia was really just the ring of the volcano. He paired up with a girl called Hazel from District 12 [Mining and coal] for a little while until she was buried underground after an earthquake. Leo's shoulder was burned badly from the first eruption and he lost all hearing in his left ear. The other Tribute from District 2 was a career named Nyssa, who was stabbed in the back by Silena [District 1, Luxury].

He disassembled the mines where the Tributes start and skirted around planting them in peoples hideouts while they fought each other. He also rolled them down the side of the volcano onto the Careers pack led by Octavian, who killed the girl from his district, Gwen, less than a day into the Games. Leo blew up fifteen people and a guy called Beckendorf, who saw the trap and stayed by the bomb anyway until Leo set them all off and won The Hunger Games.

Jason [+Thalia]: He is part of the only family to have two Victors.

Thalia Grace won her games years before by leading the careers pack. Her Games became famous as the last eight Tributes were all female. This is because she and the female careers killed most of the male Tributes. The boy she came with, Luke, stepped off his platform before the Games started in protest towards the Capitol. Her arena flooded after a dam burst and she climbed a pine tree to escape. There were electric eels in the water that killed her ally, Percy [District 4]. Percy had killed a girl from District 12, Bianca, and his death left Thalia the soul survivor.

Jason is a Tribute from District 5 [power and electricity] who was dragged into the Careers pack until it fell apart a day into the Games. This was because his Arena was a desert without food or water that pushed Tributes back into the centre using electric storms and rabid animals. He allied with a boy called Frank, and Reyna, who was from his District, until she was impaled by one of the cacti that burst from the ground spontaneously. There were riots in District 5 when she died. Jason and Frank buried her in the sand. The boys were driven to caves in the dunes by a lightning storm that wiped out a lot of Tributes, including Dakota, who went made halfway through the Games.

Mutts cornered them in the cave. Frank got rabies from a bear hybrid and Jason got it from him after Frank chewed off his arm. He killed Frank and the rest of the wolf mutts. He then ripped apart three other Tributes and lost half his other arm. He was eventually knocked out by a brick thrown by Hylla, who came with Reyna. Hylla died of blood loss, as Jason had bitten her throat. He fell into a coma and was awoken as Victor four hours later.

Jason sustained permanent amnesia and remembered nothing.

Piper: Piper is from District 1 [Luxury]. She is a Career and it was rumoured that her father, who was in a position of power in the Capitol at that time, rigged the Reaping. No enquiries were made, and Piper went through to the Games.

She was part of a quarter quell.

All of the Tributes had had a sibling die in another Game.

This changed the one boy one girl rule. Piper and Drew went in together, as Silena had been attacked by a Mutt snake the year before in an arena based of the Capitol city. Before they got into the Arena, Piper allied with a boy from District 12 called Nico and Clarisse from District 2.

There was a reference to each dead sibling in the Arena, which meant random terrain, a lot unhinged animals, and freakish natural disasters. If a sibling had been killed by another Tribute, it was still worked into the Arena.

A boy called Harley was blown up by a landmine, as well as Connor. His brother Travis was dragged into a pit by a flock of birds that latched onto his feet. He didn't come back out. Castor ran through a lightning storm until he reached the Cornucopia, where Piper had set up base after Drew was dissolved in a lake of acid that Piper had pushed her into. More Tributes gathered at the Cornucopia as ally's. Nico had stabbed a blind boy called Tyson with a trident that he'd been sent into the Arena holding, and then Clarisse was taken down by a pack of mutts with rabies. She killed six of them with her bare hands until the GameMakers had to send more in and one of the mutt snakes got her in the heart.

Piper filled up everyone's water bottles with the acid.

She killed seven of them that way.

Piper slit Annabeth's throat herself, with a jagged bone sword that Annabeth had been sent up with. Her brother Malcom's bones had been torn out by Will, the victor of those games, who was sent in again for the quarter quell with a Trident matching Nico's. Will drank the acid on purpose.

Finally Nico requested to be buried in the dirt after he asked to be killed with the trident. He wanted to die like both of his sisters. There were riots in District 12 after Piper obliged. All three of the mayors children had died in the games.

Piper won her games and went to the capitol afterwards, where she had a string of fancy lovers.
