Summary
Three weeks ago, if you had asked Leo if monsters were real, he would have said only the ones that reside in your head. Like the zombie lady clothed in black who spoke to him outside his mother’s warehouse, or the haunting voices of Tia Rosa and Tia Callida.
Or even people like Teresa, or James, past foster parents who lived in Leo’s nightmares as more monster than human. But now Leo knew that the list continued beyond those that inhabited his mind.
Because ever since he had run away from what he swore was his last foster home, monsters had become real.
~~~~~~------~~~~~~
AKA: What if Leo Valdez came to Camp Half-Blood two months before Piper and Jason, at twelve years old, and had time to make connections and hone his battle skills before being shoved into a life-threatening quest?

Summary
But of course Cherri couldn’t stay awake with her, because Cherri wasn’t there. She was another half a day's journey away, at home asleep in bed with their dog. What would she think when Apo told her what had happened in Oakhurst?
Apo stared up at the moon outside her tent, which looked normal for the first time since this nightmare began. “I’ll see you soon, darling. I hope it won’t be for the last time.”
Or: Apo goes home

Summary
The blood moon rises over Scott's castle. Chickens cease their endless clucking, hopping onto perches to sleep and hope they aren't the next ones taken. Cow bones lie abandoned along the courtyard, discarded along with the bloodless husks of their owners. Bats flutter away into the woods in search of insects to eat. All the living things in the old Goldsmith Castle are there by force.
Apo is a dead thing in the dark dreaming she's alive, and has nothing in common with them.
She has a lot in common with Pyro, though. At the beginning, back before she made a devil's deal, they'd bonded over finding Truffle. That had been a beautiful time, a time when Apo had begun to think this might not be so bad. A time when her biggest problem was that her supposedly abandoned outpost would have tourists in it who wouldn’t shut the fuck up about vampires and Bigfoot, and she could send letters to Cherri without lying. A time when she could stand to send letters to Cherri at all.
