Summary
Leo Valdez has lived and died for the gods. Their war has shaped his life since he was a baby. With Gaia defeated, he sort of hopes he can finally rest. He has friends and some semblance of home to return to for the first time since he was eight years old. Just this once, he allows himself to hope the good things might stick.
But the gods aren’t done with them just yet, and by the time Leo finds his way back, Jason is gone.
This time, Leo decides he’s done just taking the Fates’ bullshit lying down. If getting his best friend back means striking a deal with the gods and venturing into the Underworld… well, it’s probably not even the most reckless thing he’s ever done.
The caveat of said deal? He has to trust Jason will follow him, or his self-doubt will doom them both.
And after the life he’s lived, Leo is so intricately familiar with self-doubt that he could probably trademark the word.

Summary
Acrasia (n.) - Lack of self-control.
There is a difference between "I love you" and "I'm devoted to you". Sometimes, it's okay to be both, as long as you are aware of what you could do.
We all have feelings. We all have thoughts and wants and needs. "I love you", "I'm devoted to you"...
Being a monster doesn't count towards either.

Summary
“You don't even know for sure if he's into dudes?!” Will had said, after Nico explained that, yes, Percy had only ever dated girls in high school, but he just had the vibe of a bi guy, okay?
“Look, Will, my gaydar is impeccable.”
“Oh yeah? What's my sexuality?”
“Straight.”
“Bi, actually.”
“Oh. Huh.” Nico paused. “Okay, well, you said Annabeth has never dated anyone, as far as you know. So, how do you know she's into guys? Or romance at all?”
“Oh. Well, you got me there, I guess.”——
Or, college roommates Will and Nico introduce their long-time crushes, Annabeth and Percy, to each other. What could go wrong?
