Leo Valdez x reader (oneshots and the Fire Elementalist series)

Fire Elementalist: 17

Goodness gracious hail the seven seas, I've actually updated an actual chapter. Okay I know I said I'm going to finish the request first but I just needed to get this out of my head. Also Tower of Nero was just released a week ago and I found out that it is the last book EVER for the Percy Jackson series. My heart is breaking rn so I felt obliged to update today.

CONTEXT:
- it's been a LOOOOOOT of months and you're reader is already starting to perform off bway
- there will be minor inconsistencies (like dates and stuff) but that's not really significant to the story
- (d/u/n) = demigod username

Enjoy, darlings 💜 (ahuuu I missed y'all 🥺)

Your POV

After weeks of balancing rehearsals, schoolwork, weekly dates with Leo and occasional visits to Camp, we were finally on stage. Well, we weren't on Broadway yet. We had to do some promotional tours. That was a stressful few months because I had to cram a lot of schoolwork for a month, then I'll leave New York for 2 weeks. That went on for three rounds.

Thankfully, Leo didn't question when I'd be MIA for two weeks. They've also been busy at their new school. Their school is also kinda like Brooklyn Academy for the Gifted. At least no one would be getting expelled. Every afternoon, Argus takes them back to camp in a school bus.

Anyway, it's already mid-February. Hadestown will be running on Broadway starting March. We had one last city tour before we made final adjustments for opening night. We were performing in London for a month (yes, in EUROPE). Just like our agreement for New York, I perform on weekends while Eva performs on weekdays. BAG has arranged an exchange student program so I can go to school at a local public arts high school. Anaïs had this thing where she chose a few high school students to perform on Broadway. One of them was my partner, Matt Gomez (a/n: he's an OC). He's half Filipino, and he's the Orpheus swing. Just like me, he'll perform on weekends. The other high school student is Brian Drye's understudy. And let me tell you I am THRILLED to know that Austin—yes, Austin Lake, son of Apollo—is going to be in the orchestra!

Anyway, so much for the boring introductions. It was the third week of the tour and Austin, Matt and I decided to explore a bit. It was a clear morning, perfect for a stroll around London and a train ride to Paris. Matt and I were in Austin's hotel room as he was getting ready. I sat by the window. The view was beautiful. We had a good view of the River Thames. The London Eye and Big Ben were a faint silhouette in the distance. It was 8:00 AM and I felt energized. I was humming a song under my breath when I felt my phone vibrate. There was an incoming video call from Percy

"Percy?" I answered. Normally them calling us from time to time wouldn't be so out of the blue, but something felt off. Especially considering it was around 3:00 AM there.

"(Y/N)," he sounded distressed, "you have to... wait, why is it so bright there?"

Crap, we forgot to tell them we're in London.

"Nevermind," he continued, "this is more important. You need to come to camp now."

His voice sounded urgent. He was in Cabin 3, which was weird because he was supposed to be in Manhattan with his mom at this time of the year. Another weird thing is that there seems to be a lot of people in our Cabin. Did we have more siblings?

"I can't, Percy—"

"Please, (y/n)—"

"No I really can't," I insisted. "I'm out of town right now."
