Sigh

pjo prompt: percy and jason have to go on a quest together, so they both decide to bring their respective partners (annabeth and leo). during the quest, they get kidnapped by monsters and percy and jason wake up in an arena. the monsters explain that they have their partners and in order to save them, they have to fight to the death, with the winner getting to leave alive with their partner, while the other is killed. however, the monsters are very shocked when percy and jason sit down and start calmly playing cards with each other. they’re not worried about their partners. instead, they’re worried for the monsters. they trapped annabeth and leo together, two of the smartest demigods. the girl who redesigned olympus and the boy who built a warship in six months. they were toast.

"omg Leo's so dumb and funny!" leo was doing college level maths when he was 8,knows two different languages and morse code, and built an entire flying battleship within months, controlling it with a freaking Wii controller

imagining a ten year old seeing this tweet and going “damn… i can’t retweet it” before walking away sadly and kicking a can

the way you sent my brain into 10000 ideas to use as stories to tell myself when I am bored-

Will you ever make a fanfic based on that Leo is the son of Nero AU you had talked about?

I really want to, I can tell you that much.

I have quite a lot of ideas for the fic that I haven't mentioned and as the moment it's a scattered mess of scenes in my head that I know for a fact I could weave together in a coherent narrative if I just sat down and focused on it for a few days.

But out of the 23 Leo Valdez fic Ideas I got in my docs at the moment, this one I feel would be on the long long side of things. Like, longer than any fic I've written before as there are layers to this thing, and a lot of it would be a rewrite of stuff from pjo and the entirety of hoo and toa.

Not only that, but I decided that I was going to focus on finishing my one-shots as soon as I have time in my personal life to get back to writing fanfics (the one I'm currently posting is pre-written) since I am unfortunately incredibly busy all the time now. So I'm sorry to say that it may be a while until I actually write the fic, but rest assured, I will not forget about it, and I think it would be an incredibly fun concept to tackle, especially with all the twists, turns, betrayals and inevitable friendship and healing that would happen. I've had multiple people express interest thus far, so who knows! There is a very good chance it's the next long-fic I'll decide to write when the time comes.

If there is anything you are curious about though feel free to send me asks about it! I am definitely willing to answer stuff about the au that doesn't directly spoil major plot beats or anything like that!

So I'll leave you with this then: A while ago when I was trying to quickly finish a broken sketchbook, I decided to draw on each page a quick sketch of every Leo Valdez fanfic Idea I got.

This is the Leo son of Nero page:

“I will rain down every agony..every violation imaginable upon you. I will parade your cold body from every corner of every realm and feed your soul to the vilest filth in Tartarus. This I promise you.”
