Weird how the non canon ships in Rick Riordan's books tend to have a better and more interesting history together, better chemistry, healthier dynamics,and feel more natural than the canon couples; plus a lot of wasted potential. Examples are Reyna x Jason, Nico x Percy, Rachel x Percy, Leo x Piper, Jason x Nico or Jason x Leo.
It's like the more Rick wants you to ship something,the more it feels forced and has red flags that are kinda hard to ignore. The only exception being Hazel and Frank

"It was seven in the morning, and all that I knew, was that I could feel him through his heartbeat and he could feel me through mine too."~
I like to think that after Leo comes back from the dead Piper holds him as often as she can, to feel his heartbeat and warmth and to remind her that he’s alive.
After everything, he’s still alive.
And he lets her hold him for as long as she needs, because he likes being reminded that he’s still alive too (:
Happy holidays to the Liper nation and to the Liper nation only *^*/)
