Calypso Nightshade is the lowest of the low - a captive of war, cursed for her father's crimes, her life slipping away in solitude. Her dearest wish, impossibly out of reach, is to love and be loved in return, and she has resigned herself to the knowledge that it will never come to be. But she was not always a prisoner.
When out of the blue she is chosen for Prince Leo Valdez's grand Selection, she is abruptly jerked from the relative safety she has known for the past few years and back into the spotlight of royalty. Being in the public eye is a dangerous thing when you have something to hide, but somehow, the annoying, immature prince makes it worth the struggles.
Just as both of them begin to question all they've ever known, a terrible incident occurs, and Calypso and Leo are hurled into its midst. It's up to them and them alone to save each other and their country.
Disclaimer: The idea of a Selection belongs to Kiera Cass, and most of the characters belong to Rick Riordan.
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.
