Leo Valdez tries to cope with abusive foster parents, and has this unhealthy obsession with finding his mom's killer. He lives in a world of black and white, with good and bad, and cigarettes, and grades. The thing is: he's not sure what to do this time. He's never met anyone who could ever relate to him. Until he met Percy Jackson.
Percy Jackson who is having his own trouble dealing with his own abusive step-dad Gabe. He's a confused teenager, not knowing how things will get better for him and his mom. Gabe doesn't help them in the least, and Percy's mom makes him go see a shrink. He meets a kid there, unlike any other being in the universe, his name is Leo Valdez, and this is when their lives start exploding like fireworks.
Au for Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Mostly perleo. Also I feel like Perleo is one of those ships that would never actually happen, so I put in a bunch of other impossible ships as well.
"After all those years on the streets, I finally feel like I'm home"
"You're lying" Leo didn't even have to look up, he knew her better than anyone.
"You're right, I was always at home with you"
In which there's an unlikely friendship (... and maybe something more) between the daughter of Poseidon and the son of Hephaestus. Watch them figure everything out while trying to save the world.
Or in which Leo Valdez has always been Alex Jackson's home.
