Emily Ann I mean Piper got Jason but Reyna Deserved him. And Percy well I don't want him with her but its still too bad for her.


Claire B. I know, right! She's all alone :(


Cara Me too! Although, honestly, with the way Jason treated her, Reyna deserves someone better than him. Normally I would say Leo but I'm not sure if that would work out....


Cassie I felt really bad for her as well. She cannot have Percy because of Percabeth, of which I am I diehard fan. I'd like to say she can have Jason, but that's not fair to her as he's technically with Piper, but I'm not sure how I feel about Jason and Piper as a couple. I'm shipping for Reyna and Leo, but as Cara said, I'm not sure that would work out...

Well, maybe Jason would come back for her since it is implied in MoA that Aphrodite is manipulating his thoughts about Piper. Not to mention that Jason and Piper parallel the original Jason and Medea, meaning that their "love" for each other is possibly fake and probably would break up over the series' course. *crosses fingers because Jason/Piper is just a badly developed relationship*

Leo can fit Reyna though. Both of them have been abandoned by friends at one point and possibly would gain a good understanding of each other that way.

Leo/Reyna is similar to Percy/Annabeth if you think about it.

You aren't the only one. Poor Reyna. Left alone by not one but two boys, having to regain a professional attitude because she's praetor, Jason returns with a new girlfriend which shows he's oblivious about her and all the while not showing any feelings.

So, Percy HAS to go with Annabeth. No question. And, like Cara said, Reyna deserves someone better than Jason. So...yeah, I'm leaning towards Leyna. The thing is, if it works out, it might actually be a lot like Percabeth. And I think Leo would make Reyna less serious and Reyna would make Leo less goofy. It works!

kirstin ✿ Aww, can I join the party? Because I feel sorry for her too. But I don't think Reyna would like that. She's my favorite female demigod now, to be honest. And Reyna is way too strong to be pitied at.

AND OH MY GOSH. NEW SHIPPING THERE! I'D LOVE A LEYNA THERE :D Whoever thought of this, you're awesome.

Emily Ann I'm not sure, Leo just doesn't seem serious enough for her.

Luna Ah, I started Thing about Leo & Renya last year before Mark Of Athena came out- PEOPLE AGREE WITH ME I"M NOT CRAZY! If its going to happen it going to be awhile-I don't see Won over by Leo anytime soon, I think she still mad about Setting fire to New Rome- I feel sorry for both Leo & Reyna, Leo because He is third Wheel all the time, which in a way Piper & Jason are jerks and he just having a terrible time. Same with Reyna, Boyfriend ran off with another girl, which is really a jerk move he should have talk about it with Reyna when he got to New Rome, Before he started anything With Piper. Getting rejected by Percy(reasonable, Percy in love with Annabeth.)
So there is still Hope that maybe they end up together. As Shahdia said above-Leo would bring out Reyna happy side, and Renya would bring out his Serious side.

I love the idea! You know, opposites attract? And besides Leo and Reyna are my recently favorite demigods. Aside form Percy and Annabeth.

Emily Ann They are like the coolest. But together?

Alex Grant Me too,Lauren!But what about Frank?


message 13: by [deleted user] (new)

Leo and Hazel technically have history, although I have to admit that Hazel dating Leo would be weird because she was technically crushing on his grandfather, and it's just one big mess
Frank and Hazel are really cute together too
It's so hard to choose!!!!


Emily Ann Frank's wrath would be............horrible like he wouldn't talk to Leo.


The silent treatment.

Mo Oh, yes Reyna is one of my favorite characters in the series, and I feel for her. Honestly, Jason and Piper's relationship has always felt superficial to me, and they have never been my favorite characters, and i have reasons, but that's for another time. It's not how she was rejected by two boys, it's how she has no friends, even after the hard life she had. See,I never expected Jason to come racing up to Reyna, and kiss her,but I DID expect him to treat her the way she should: One of his best friends, a person he has known for years and years. But instead, he was like, "oh, yeah, you...long time no see. Ok, now even though we have months of catching up to do, ill just show Piper around, k?" Like, seriously. their story is a lot like percy and annabeth's. Imagine that percabeth never happened, and it was just that tight bond they both had. Let's say percy came back, with a girlfriend. Sure, he has a girlfriend, but annabeth was a huge part of his life. What would you think if he barely paid attention to her? i think people are so hung up on this romance thing, they are not acknowledging the FRIEND atmosphere that the two of them had. So jason, had NO RIGHT to treat her like that, especially being the one who knew her best. So basically, REYNA NEEDS SOMEONE WHO WILL NOT BACKSTAB HER. she cant be hurt anymore. She always holds everything inside, though she probably wants to sob and scream more than anything. Which is why I ship Leyna. Leo needs someone like Reyna to reign him in, he needs someone to relate to. Reyna needs someone to share her pain with, someone who will make her loosen up and LAUGH and SMILE. Also, it's adorable how their names are king and queen. Anyway, REYNA NEEDS SOMEONE< and I hope she finds someone. friend, love, whichever.


Emily Ann You are so right I just feel so bad for her. Jason is a idiot I can't believe he would just do that to her. I actually never really thought Leo and Reyna would be good together but you make it sound like such a good fit.

Alex Grant Yeah,I agree with Madhura and Emily Ann.


Clara If you know me I like to ship people here are my ships for this:
*Hazel+frank
Hazel+Leo
*leo+piper
*Jason+reyna
*Percy+annabeth (of course!)
Frank+piper
Leo+reyna (idk if it will work)
(the stars by some are my favorite)


kirstin ✿ I would want Leo+Reyna. I think they'll look cute and awesome!


Emily Ann I don't want Jason and Reyna together. He does not deserve her.

Joseph Yes, I feel bad for Reyna. But Jason and Piper are a much better and cuter couple.

that is a very detailed and accurate comment on this
who cares about the romance angle (everyone)
even as friends how Jason treated Reyna was dirt!!
i feel sympathy and admiration for Reyna. all this crud happens to her and people leave her alone and still she stands strong against all odds. there is pity for this ever alone character but also admiration at her strength when long ago someone else would have given up.
jason does not deserve her.

leo on the other hand does as a fellow ever alone character. maybe it looks like it won't work out but i would root for this couple and hope they can finally find someone to lean on when they're tired. even if they just become friends they finally won't be alone.
there is that problem w/ ghost posession though...

I am pretty sure its going to go Lenya but idk

That is the big question: if he's actually being influenced by Aph. I don't hate him, but I don't like him much either.


message 28: by sim (new) - rated it 4 stars

sim Idk why but too feel Piper didn't deserve him. He just landed on a bus, Piper said, 'Yo dude! You're my boyfriend.' And he said, 'Okay.'
I ship Jeyna! Piper and Jason won't work anyway as they'll have to do long distance with J in C Jupiter and P in C Half Blood. And we know, long distance rarely works!

Jeyna for the win!
