Leo: Okay gang, let’s take stock of what we’re bringing as a team to this quest.
Nico, raising his hand: Sarcasm and raw power.
Leo, tipping an invisible cap: Wit and technical know how.
Jason, saluting: Eye candy and admin.
leo and jason but they actually met before gaea
a young jason, having to venture outside of camp for the first time for a quest, running face first into a boy in the middle of the streets. hes scrawny and scruffy and not fit to be a true roman, but his fingers move quicker than his rapidfire mix of curses, apologies, and insults as he picks up the things that fell out of his backpack in the collision.
a young leo, running away from yet another home, colliding with a boy that acts like hes the first human hes seen in months. he's not sure whether to be annoyed or confused as the boy questions him on the very basic contents of his bag with his head tilted like some sort of stupid golden retriever. the new kids accent is thick, one he could barely understand, but he tries to answer the dumb questions as best he can.
jason follows leo, deciding the new boy to be his guide in an unfamiliar world. he shows him new and interesting things, colorful and exotic things he's never seen before. new places, new people. jason decides he must be divine in some way. he's distraught when he finishes the quest and has to leave. leo shared things jason could barely fathom, then it was yanked away, leaving a burning hole in his mind and heart and scalding marks on the hands he had guided.
leo leads jason, which was not his intention at first. he shows him normal things, the places where the security cameras or locks are broken, the place where the staff gives him freebies, the public library with computers you could play and code games on, all things leo had known about for years, but jason stares at him like a worshipper stares at a god, filled with awe and adoration. he wakes up one day, and jason isn't there anymore, leaving nothing but a fleeting memory, brushed away with the wind.
will solace saw Nico Walking Corpse Di Angelo looking greasy unwashed sleepless emaciated sunken eyes deathly pale scowling up a storm ready to pass out any second in his hawaiian shirt and said "is anybody gonna flirt with that freak" and didn't wait for an answer

Person A: *bursts into the room* "Oh my god—B! I'm here, I’m here, you're okay now—"
Person B: *flinching at the sound, trying to craw back* "Don't touch me-please-"
Person A: *freezes, hands raised* "It’s me. Just me. No one’s going to hurt you anymore."
Person B: *voice shaking* "They said you wouldn't come. That you'd forgotten me. I-I believed them."
Person A: *kneeling slowly, tears in their eyes* "I would tear the world apart before I'd let that happen. I'm sorry it took me so long."
Person B: *finally looking at A, eyes glassy* "I kept calling for you. I thought—I thought if I screamed loud enough, you’d hear me."
Person A: *voice cracking* "I did. I heard you. Every second you were gone, I felt it. I swear."
Person B: *whispers* "It hurts."
Person A: *gently, reaching forward* "I know. Let me help. Please. Just let me hold you."
Person B: *collapsing into A's arms* "Don’t let go."
Person A:*holding them tightly, as though the world.* "Never."
If Esperanza were still alive and knew Jason, she would look him in the eye and ask if he was eating properly (he is 2x her size)
"y'all's" is the best regional solution to the english second person plural possessive problem but "your guyses" is my favorite because it sucks
you know the expression dean makes (i think in season seven) when he’s in the hospital and bobby pats his cheek and for a moment he looks so fucking surprised and then you can see in his eyes how touched starved he is? yeah.
there’s so many revival jason ideas that i love so much, but the one i’m most obsessed with is where jason “comes back” because his life is now connected to leo’s
basically the “life force” or whatever you want to call that’s weaker gets connected to the one that’s stronger. the usual idea i have for this is that leo gets some item that can do this and after a little oopsie, jason is back
and because jason is still technically dead, he can’t die. he get get tired and fatigued if he doesn’t eat or looses blood, but he can’t die. someone could rip out his heart and he’d still be alive, or rather “alive”. he can only die if leo dies
for the most part, it’s an acceptable situation for the both of them. however, there is one issue
jason doesn’t see any problem with it. he already protects leo with his life. now, he can do it and actually be protecting his life. but now things are different. he can’t die. he can throw himself into dangerous situations and come out alive. he can do risky moves that he’d normally never think of doing. he’s not risking anything. he can come out alive. he’s now even more of a weapon than he was before
for the most part, leo also has no problem with it. he finally has jason back. he knows that he’ll never be without him again. also, he has more respect for his life, knowing that it’s not just his own, but also jason’s. it’s a little nerve wracking when in fights with monsters, but he knows he has people around to help him out. but… then there’s jason’s new recklessness. jason already had little regard for his own life. now, he has even less regard for his safety. it causes leo great distress. sure, jason can’t die, but he can still get hurt. he can still be in pain. what if something happened to him? what if he was hurt so badly that he can’t call for help? what if he’s laying there feeling that pain for hours? he loves jason so much. it hurts him to see the man he loves have so little regard for his well being. it hurts him to see him get hurt time and time again
