Valgrace but make it animated
One day I wanna draw how the line into the under world looks different for Leo and Jason, I don't think I ever made it clear enough in my writing because they weren't focusing on that
Leo’s is in a vast cavern, huge open ceiling and wide expanses of flat rock with scattered stalagmites. The line is meandering and goes down towards the Styx in a light recline, and on the other side is a sharp hill twords the wall with Hades castle at the top. When he goes down to get Jason he can see him from a distance, the cavern is open and airy even if it has a stone roof high above them
Jason’s is a tight tunnel along the side of a ravine. Two to three sides are solid rock, a line a people with little room on either side like the trails to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, but instead of sky there is a close roof of sharp stalagtights. The Styx is at the bottom, dug through the bedrock, and the climb on the other side is just as steep. It takes a moment for him to find Leo, twist and turns and corners as he races down the thin ledge between a open-air plunge and the queue of souls he's cutting in line
I have this (Headcannon? Analysis? Interpretation?) of how each camp has culture around their powers that drives me crazy
CHB is all about the party tricks, its a bunch of under-supervised ADHD kids learning how to use their gifts of course their doing party tricks. Everything is let's see how far I can jump when I springboard off my spear, can I control the lava on the Climbing Wall to draw a dick in the sand, are we growing weed or super weed in the shape of Pokemon. People are useing there powers for everything, any little convenience any little anything, its very normal
Camp Jupiter is a military camp, and in the military everyone is expected to conform and be uniform. People can use their powers, but individually is frowned upon. There is a heavy emphasis on formation, of being part of a unit, of acting together as one, it doesn't give a lot of room for party tricks
It makes me think a lot of Jason on the Argo II. Hazel and Frank are the only other Romans on the boat, and they are not only new recruits but are also just starting to get a handle on their powers. Jason would have had a hang of his powers for years at this point, but its with a tight control held close to his chest
Think about him watching the Greek kids and their open lose play with their gifts. Leo using his fire as a flash light, Annabeth and her puzzles just for fun, Percy refilling his cup just by pulling some juice from the jug. It must be wild for him, especially how I feel like (especially with Big Three kids) their bodies are made to be in their element. Jason is made to fly, his body has to have all these adaptations to be in the low-oxygen sub-zero temperature of the upper atmosphere. But because he's Roman he's been forced to the ground, to be part of a unit, to not stand out.
That has to itch
“Nap time?”
“Nap time”
Leo humors him one last time with the carrying, but his husband does complain with an exasperated sigh as he's lifted. Jason is just grateful he's getting to do it, because as much as Leo likes to be manhandled when they get rough in bed he is fiercely independent the rest of the time and does not take kindly to people looking down on him because of his height. Jason knows that his Leo is completely capable of whatever he sets his mind too, he did bring him back to life multiple times, he just enjoys getting to hold his husband in every capacity
So Jason sets him on the edge of the bed, climbs in himself getting comfy, and then opens his arms all grabby-handed for his Leo to join him. It takes no time for his husband to crawl into his space, shimming under the covers and laying across his chest to his head pillowed on his collar. Jason just waps him tight in his arms and plants a kiss into his damp curls, then starts sniffing his hair now that he smells like he should
“Do I smell better now?” Leo laughs at him, nuzzling into his bare skin
“Mmm-hmmmmmmm” Jason replies, too busy trying to drown himself in his husband's sent to acknowledge him verbally. The herbs of the ointments are still strong, but the underlying smoke and Leo is present and rich in his hair with the added bonus of his familiar products, Jason loves it
“I missed you so much” his Leo tells him, leaning his head into Jason’s face and pressing his lips to the skin underneath him “I hate not being able to reach you”
Jason plants a few wet kisses into his hair “M’ right here”
“You fucking better be” and then Leo bites him right on the tit, it makes Jason yelp a little in surprise. Its okay though, Leo is soothing the bite with his lips after “baby”
“Hmmm?”
“No i'm calling you a baby”
Jason just snorts and pokes his husband in his ticklish ribs, making him jerk and snicker. He gives him a handful of the rapid-fire sniffs that Leo dislikes as well in revenge, but it just makes him laugh for real and push his face away with his hand
“I love you” Leo tells him, propping his chin on Jason’s chest so he can see him “I knew once I was home it would be okay, because you would be there”
Jason just kisses him on the forehead “And you call me a sap”
“Im gonna fuck you later” he informs Jason instead of entertaining that line of conversation “After dinner your ass is mine”
“Okay” Jason chuckles. Even after all these years that flash in his husband's eyes still makes him excited

Grow old (with you?) What a privilege (a pleasure).
“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

I wish the hoo books didn't erase the 'roman-ness' from jason completely just because he adapted to the greeks. we needed a proper, cold, calculating roman representation. hazel and frank could just as easily fit into the greeks because they were very new to camp jupiter and reyna was shipped off to the hunters.
jason was always kind of eccentric in the argo ii if you guys hadn't noticed. when jason was talking in praise about diocletian(?) hazel looked at him in horror because he wasn't supposed to be saying good things about him. but the romans were supposed to be like that. they were supposed to take in the beneficial aspects of even bad people, they didn't think about feelings. they were the "we see good in everyone but only because we need them for our benefit".
it would take a million years for jason to trust someone completely, hot take but he would take longer than nico to warm up to someone. nico is just more open about not trusting someone, but jason would hide it better. annabeth said jason had this unnerving vibe about him and neither she or hazel could get a read on him. he would be calculating your every move and would read so much into what you say, because he's a roman by blood, by virtue.
and jason would take betrayals HORRIBLY, arguably he'd take it the hardest, it isn't easy to anger him but a broken promise, a broken trust, drives him absolutely insane.
They land hard, Festus not able to slow enough to be graceful. The dragon's claws leave deep grooves in the creeping thyme of the green and the stone of the roof, turning in an Akira Slide to keep from tumbling off the other side of the building. The bunched raised beds help act as a stopper, a few crunching like tin cans as the dragon flank hits them
Leo dismounts at the same time Jason lands, letting him catch his husband as they both slide to the ground. Jason can't decide where to put his hands, the need to make sure his Leo is in one piece scrambling his rationale. Feeling his arms, then his neck, then hands on both sides of his face trying to look for injury as Festus collapses where he landed groaning from the exertion
“We're okay” his Leo pants, letting Jason check him with his hands fisted on the sleeves of his shirt “that fucker has been after us the whole trip, we picked him up in Virginia totting shit. I couldn't shake him”
“You good?” Calypso calls. She and Lit are giving them a healthy bubble, Jason must still be sparking
“Were good” Leo calls back not taking his eyes off of him, Jason can't find it in himself to be verbal through his still thrumming panic “Just give us a sec”
“It's okay, im okay” Leo reasures, taking Jason’s face in his hands as well “I'm home im okay”
That breaks through “You’re home” Jason parrots back
“Yeah Cielito, im home”
Jason rests his forehead on his husband’s, closes his eyes, and lets out a long breath he didn't know he was holding.
“Katie says hi”
That makes Jason laugh, it's a little wet “How’s the puppy?”
“Fucking giant” Leo grins back, thumbs petting over his cheek “She's in a growth spurt, finally starting to look her age. I thought she looked bigger through the IM’s but having her at my shoulders is ridiculous”
“Shoulder height on you is not that big a feat” he kisses Leo on the forehead, putting his nose in windswept dark curls that he breaths in greedily “she was already mostly there when we got her”
“Oh ha ha short joke”
“Mmmm” he kisses him on the cheek “you smell wrong”
“You just want me naked” Leo accuses
Jason kisses him on the other cheek “That too”
“Okay Superman,” his Leo laughs “You did save the day and all”
It takes entirely too long to get Leo to himself, everyone wanting their turn to check on his husband. Jason loves their family, but sometimes there are too many of them, wading through loved ones into the direction of the hall. The Moms have to do an extended fussing, Emmi is particularly upset about the rough landing
Also Leo has a little cut on his neck, a close call from one of the acid-coated rocks that is still oozing blood, and Jason needs to make better right now

truly one of the biggest letdowns in piper's writing in hoo specifically is how it doesn't dig deeper into charmspeak and what a disturbing thing it is to have the power to control someone's mind. like I swear this is interesting stuff and more people would get into piper as a character if this were explored a bit more in the text. you definitely see piper disturbed by her own power and hesitant to use it (and note that like many other characters, i.e. leo and hazel, her powers have always been a source of trouble in her life - like how she got in trouble for stealing a car even though all she did was ask for it), but in my opinion the books spend way too much time in piper's perspectives on other stuff when charmspeak is such an unusual and fascinating and terrifying power that offers so many interesting avenues of character exploration
and I really wish the books would have talked more about the canonical fact that charmspeak is more effective against people who are (or could be) physically/sexually attracted to the user. this is a power that children of aphrodite have - a power that is implicitly tied to sexuality as a defense or offense. like this inherently necessitates that piper weaponizes her sexuality against monsters and deities and giants and any other antagonist that want to harm her. which is crazy. especially because she's a teenager and especially because piper is initially characterized as an underconfident girl who goes out of her way to downplay her appearance (do you guys remember how much harassment piper goes through in the books and what little gravity is afforded to those moments... like she has dangerous characters aggressively flirting with or expressing attraction to her A Lot, and she has to play into that attraction to save herself or her friends no matter how uncomfortable it makes her)
I think there's such a dark undertone to all of this that's worth investigating. we know that piper doesn't like herself, doesn't like her powers, and doesn't like demigod life. hoo has her on a journey to become more confident in herself as a person and as a daughter of aphrodite but it's always going to be fucked up that part of her role in the prophecy seven is becoming confident enough in herself that she gets better at weaponizing her ability to violate the free will of others - and her ability to use her sexuality as an armament of war
As a Piper stan, lost trio stan, and a lesbian, I completely agree and could never be as smart as this person:
