Valgrace

Valgrace is the slash ship between Leo Valdez and Jason Grace from the Camp Half-Blood Chronicles fandom.

The Lost Hero
Leo first meets Jason on the Wilderness School Bus. Leo had fake memories of being Jason's best friend at the school. Leo remembered pranking and messing with Jason, and Jason wouldn't be annoyed by Leo's jokes. When his two friends started dating in his fake memories, Leo felt unneeded, even if he was happy for them, he felt like a third wheel. When the two actually met, Jason told Leo he thought Leo was weird.

Leo volunteered to go on Jason's quest, saying he can get him a ride. Jason smiled, since their journey started together, it was right for him to come with them, and that if he can get him a ride, he can go. Leo pumped his fist. Jason was weirded out and amazed when he found out Leo fixed Festus the Dragon for their quest.

The two got close and bonded a lot on quest when Leo saved Jason from cyclops, and trusted Jason enough to tell him about Tía Callida. Leo was also grateful for Jason when he was willing to fight Calais and Zethes to save him. In Chicago, Leo confided in Jason some more, telling him about his fire powers and his mother's death. Jason was amazed by Leo's power and cooking, and when Leo said he didn't want to tell him because he didn't want to look like a freak, Jason reassured him that he was just as a freak as he was. Jason also reassured Leo what happened to his mom wasn't his fault.

On the quest Jason and Leo developed a small rivalry. After a fight, Festus the Dragon broke down and Jason tried to apologize to Leo, making sure he know what happened wasn't his fault, and reassured him that he was amazing. In Omaha, Jason said he wished he could do half of the things Leo could do. He said that Leo did take things seriously and that he wasn't annoying. Leo accepted this apology, and said he couldn't resent him if he apologizes, and that he is supposed to. Leo told Jason not insult his ability to annoy. .

Jason and Leo bonded even more, and Jason even wanted Leo there with him when he talked to his sister, Thalia Grace. Leo was very surprised and said that sticking around was his specialty. Leo found himself tapping "Love You" in Morse code on his knee. Later, heading to Aeolus's palace, Leo comforted Jason while they walked, Jason confided in him, wondering if what happened with his mom was his own fault. Leo comforted him, saying that it takes awhile to get used to demigod stuff and that what happened with his mom wasn't his doing. When Piper was worried that Jason would betray them the next day, Leo knew that he wouldn't and trusted him as part of the team. Jason was amazed when Leo showed him Bunker 9 back at Camp Jupiter.

The Demigod Diaries
The two were best friends. Jason calmed Leo down after a big mistake with Buford the Table, and went to Bunker 9, ready to help. Leo thought of Jason as cool, confident, and surfer dude handsome. Jason was determined to help his friend. After they saved the Camp, Jason sat with Leo at the campfire and together they drank hot chocolate. Leo thanked Jason for saving him, and Jason reassured Leo that he would do anything for him. They toasted to each other. During the following months at camp, Jason and Leo would play the Wii together, with a program Leo created called "idiot mode".

The Mark of Athena
Leo considered Jason his best friend and didn't know what to do with himself if Jason didn't survive his injuries from the Romans. And when his friends came to check on him, he asked about his best friend, needing to know Jason was okay. Leo felt guilty for what happened and blamed himself. Leo felt like a bit of a third wheel, since Jason now was dating Piper McLean, but this didn't affect his friendship with Jason at all.

Leo was ecstatic after he returned from Salt Lake City to find Jason awake, telling him he was glad he was better. Jason reassured him that what happened was not his fault, not blaming him for his injury. Leo and Jason were mutually wary about Nico di Angelo, and Jason defended Leo when Hazel almost yelled at him. Leo and Jason teamed up multiple times on the way to Rome.

Jason was extremely worried when Leo went missing, he flew around the Atlantic Ocean like a madman.

At the end of MoA, Jason called Leo the admiral.

House of Hades
Leo could see how stressed out his friend was after taking on the role of the sole leader of the Argo I. He could see Jason's sunken eyes and uncharacteristically messy hair. Leo felt bad for Jason, knowing Jason was used to being under stressed after being Praetor at Camp Jupiter. Leo trusted to be a leader, and knew he had a talent for being levelheaded in a crisis, and getting him out of bad situations. As for Jason, he was close enough to put him in his place whenever he went too far. Jason was very confident in Leo's abilities as well, and was sure that he could defeat Clytius with his fire powers. He also knew that Leo could always be light things up when the Seven were down. Leo and Jason defeated Akmon and Passalos together, and Jason flew Leo around Bologna in order to catch them.

When Khione blew Leo off the Argo II, Jason was absolutely devastated from losing Leo, and was guilty that he was basically helpless while Leo was blown off the ship. For five whole days, Jason confronted Auster and Notus to try to convince them to help him find his best friend. Jason was extremely worried about his friend and thought he was in trouble and lost. On the fifth day, when he met with Auster, he asked him yet again to give him news about Leo, and begged him to let them leave and tell him where Leo is.

Jason finally realized that his months with Leo at Camp Half-Blood were more fulfilling than his life at Camp Jupiter, and that he wanted to stay with Leo. Jason was absolutely overjoyed when he reunited with his best friend at Malta, but could tell that Leo was heartsick, just like Nico di Angelo over Percy Jackson. He could feel that he no longer had nervous energy and it was replaced by a wistful sadness. Jason squeezed Leo's shoulder and asked him what happened, but Leo refused to elaborate. Jason knew that something happened between him and a girl, but knew his friend didn’t want to talk about it, and changed the subject.

Blood of Olympus
Leo really loved all of his friends, especially Jason, and would do anything for him. Leo was extremely worried about Jason when he was injured at Ithaca. Leo could hear the pain in Jason's voice and wanted him to rest, worried for his life. He felt helpless about Jason's state, knowing that people are harder to fix than his metal automations. Leo sat next to him at breakfast one day, knowing Jason was the least likely to hit him for a bad joke. Jason wanted to prove himself to the Seven and was even a bit embarrassed that Leo was so protective of him. Leo and Jason went to Epidaurus to meet Asclepius, where Leo hid his suicidal plan from Jason, in fact, one of the reasons Leo did what he did was to save Jason, knowing it was one of them that would have die, and he didn't want it to be Jason.

When they made it back to Camp Half-Blood, Leo stayed on the ship and asked Jason to go. He felt horrible about leaving his best friend behind, but he knew that just like when he met Zeus, there was no time for a proper goodbye. Jason almost cried to Nico telling him where Leo was. Jason both thought to himself that Leo would be okay, but even so, he charged into battle for Leo. Leo ended up seeing Jason for one last time when he flew down with a repaired Festus, and Jason and Leo helped defeat Gaea together. When Gaea passed out, Leo urged Jason to go again, and Jason refused, saying Piper had the cure and that they needed to stay with him. Leo told Jason he loved him as he dropped them to the ground, which the last words Leo would ever say to Jason.

After Leo's death, Jason was initially furious at his friend for keeping Leo's suicidal plan from him, but he knew that was a plan Leo would've done. Even though Nico told him that Leo was dead, Jason chose to believe that his best friend was still alive and told Piper so. The two then spent the night talking about the memories of Leo.

In September, after Jason received a parchment scroll from Leo, he spent the entire month looking for him, As for Leo, in both The Hidden Oracle and The Dark Prophecy, he told Apollo that he wanted to see Jason again.

The Burning Maze
When Jason actually found out that Leo was alive, he was so shocked all of the electrical outlets in his dorm room sparked. He said he didn't know whether to laugh or yell, since he'd been through grieving for him for so long. But, Jason never got to see his best friend again, because he was killed by Caligula.

When Leo arrived in California, he immediately asked where his best friend was, the two had missed each other by a couple of days, and his face crumbled when he realized what had happened. Leo was teary eyed and looked like he had been struck repeatedly as a Piper hugged him, sobbing, telling him what happened to Jason. He looked at Jason's diorama after brushing the tears from his face, and said he never got to say goodbye. He sadly said that Jason did what he always did, saving the day. He then told Apollo to take Jason home and do right by him.
