This is Lynxiah! I'm a Christian, extreme Leo Valdez fan, and I primarily post updates for AO3 and fanart :)

[lynxiah]

Welcome!

My name is Lynxiah (Lynx-ee-ah, I know, I made it difficult on purpose, it's funny), and this is my blog!

First and foremost, I am a Christian, and everything I do, I do it through Christ :)

I primarily post updates on my Leo Valdez fanfictions (currently just "The Names of Leo Valdez," although I have many more ideas in mind), or fanart!

I am an artist, in all aspects of the word! I love writing, painting/drawing, singing, and I play various instruments! I also have a borderline unhealthy obsession for all things plants and animals.

I love all things PJO, HOO, and TOA, but primarily Leo Valdez, AKA, Supersized Mcshizzle, AKA, Commander Toolbelt, AKA Supreme Commander of the Argo II, (you probably get why my first fic is named what it is) alright I'm done. I also love Six of Crows, Lockwood and Co, and pretty much any book that gets placed in front of me!

Anyway, ask me anything, let's get into ridiculously long debates over whether toast is still bread after it is toasted until 3am (reference from my fic LOL).

Nico & Festus!!!

—

“Festus, this is Nico,” Leo introduced, gesturing at the son of Hades. “He’s basically batman if batman was scrawny, short, and seventy-eight percent more emo. And he broke into our super secret inaccessible bunker.”

The bronze dragon swiveled his head to look at Nico, and released a short creak that Leo took to be a greeting. Death Breath gave a lazy wave back.

Well, that just wasn’t fair.

The first time Leo met Festus, the bronze dragon tried to bite his head off and successfully doused him in an impressive quantity of superheated flames. And all Nico got when he broke into their super secret bunker was a “hello”?!

“Wait,” Leo said slowly. “How did you break into our super secret inaccessible bunker?”

Most underrated duo 🖤🔥🐉

This question has been TURNING in my mind!

Which PJO/HOO character would YOU want as a CAT?!

Percy Jackson (ALWAYS tips the glass of water)

Annabeth Chase (somehow learns to open EVERY door)

Grover Underwood (“STOP EATING THE PLANTS”)

Leo Valdez (PLEASE get out of the car engine)

Frank Zhang (follows you EVERYwhere, and yowls when he can’t find you)

Hazel Levesque (the weighted blanket cat on a bad day)

Piper McLean (“Aww you’re so cute… WHY DID YOU BITE ME?!”)

Jason Grace (“Why is my CAT a GOLDEN RETRIEVER?!”)

Nico di Angelo (Glowing eyes lurking in the inky black bottom of the stairs)

Will Solace (grooms your hair and curls up on your face (Bonus: healing purrs))

Reyna (that one incredibly graceful cat who never misses a jump)

Octavian (bites EVERYONE except his person (Bonus: the reason dog people exist))

Just finished chapter 8 in your fic and saw your blog mentioned so I came to say thank you so much!

Leo is my favourite greek character so seeing a fic dedicated to his story got me to read on ao3 my first long work.

I'm kinda scared of spoilers so I'll stay clear from your blog until I'll catch up on the fic but just know you made a Leo fan his week

Oh thank you so much!!! Leo is absolutely worthy of long fics, and I'm so happy that you found The Names of Leo Valdez and enjoyed it!

And I totally understand the fear of spoilers lol, but thanks for checking out my blog anyway!

I truly hope you enjoy the rest of your reading, and I'm so glad you've joined Team Leo 💙🧡

Chapter 14 ART!!!

The new chapter WILL be posted this weekend!!!

____________________________________________

Festus himself was dozing behind Leo, close enough that the heat emanating from his constantly working parts drifted over Leo. Most technical machines had fans that kept the internal circuitry from overheating, but since Festus’ internal gear was all painstakingly fireproofed, there was no need to keep wiring cool.

Which made him the perfect space-heater.

The softened metal was almost cool under Leo’s glowing hands, and the bronzeworking held all his senses hostage. It was such precise work, more like art than any other project he’d worked on before. He had to be so careful about how much pressure he applied, or else the bronze plating would be filled with divots rather than smooth, unbro—

“AGH!” Leo shrieked—a very manly shriek, obviously—and sat up too fast, slamming his temple against Festus’ detached wing. The dull pain was bad, but not nearly as disturbing as the bony finger that had just jabbed him in the knee.

____________________________________________

The plot REALLY starts progressing after this chapter, so get ready for THAT!!!

Chapter 14 of TNoLV!!!

We're NEARLY THERE!!! Just, like, TWO PAGES LEFT TO WRITE!!!

But first, SNEAK PEAK:

________________________________________________________________

Freaking Nico di Angelo—off-brand Batman—was in Leo’s SUPER SECRET bunker. The one that NO ONE was supposed to know about. And he was holding a DETACHED. HEAD.

Granted, it was the head of a hydra rather than something more suspicious, but Leo was too busy panicking to take note of that.

“W-what are you doing here?!” Leo stammered, his mouth most-definitely not hanging open. The son of Hades was like a little shadow-cloud in his pure black everything and would-be-fluffy aviator jacket, if it hadn’t looked like it had been through War™. Which, now that Leo thought about it, the jacket absolutely had.

“Just returning this.” Nico then proceeded to plop the decapitated head on a nearby worktable, as if that was a perfectly normal thing to do. 

It was NOT a perfectly normal thing to do!

________________________________________________________________

For those of you following along, YES, this is where the Nico and Leo art is!!!!

Chapter 14 of TNoLV Sneak Peak!

Yes, I know, it's been... nine months? EW. That's SO LONG. Oopsie daisies! 😂😭

Enjoy this little interaction that starts the chapter on a LIGHT note, before we get angsty...

________________________________________________________________

Malcolm, for some unholy reason, felt the need to do a deep-dive into the historical origin of every single Greek letter. 

‘It was the first system to systematically include vowels,’ and, ‘it took Phoenician consonantal letters and modified them,’ and, “Malcolm, please, for the love of every sad little camper whose gonna have Greek squiggles floating beneath their eyelids as they try to fall asleep tonight, SHUT UP.” 

That one was Travis.

Leo was bored out of his mind and covered in scraps of paper that were supposed to be airplanes by the time Ancient Greek finally ended. Like, seriously, isn’t just knowing how to read and write the language enough?! 

Apparently not.

“Remember to review the Greek spellings and phonetic origins for each god and goddess before the quiz next class-”

“Malcolm, it’s a summer camp,” Connor bemoaned, slumping nearly out of his chair.

“Yeah!” Travis agreed. “If I wanted to be tortured, I’d go ask Percy to spar!”

________________________________________________________________

I promise, it will not be TERRIBLY long before chapter fourteen is posted!!! It might even be today 👀

[carlotaamm]

this is me every full moon when I check this fic is being updated, chat

[lynxiah]

That’s the most relatable thing I’ve seen in my life. But for me, it’s more like:

“This is me the morning after I post a new chapter, remembering why I love my readers so much.”

Annabeth: "Can you lock in?" Cripplingly-ADHD Leo: "I am locked out with the keys inside." Annabeth: "..."

Are you Annabeth or Leo?

Annabeth!

...Leo

Guys, I asked AI to tell me everything it knew about my Leo Valdez fic! (Don’t worry, I never gave it any of the actual story/writing 😂) Here’s what it gave me:

—

Here's what I can tell you:

About Lynxiah: They describe themselves as a Christian, an extreme Leo Valdez fan, and primarily post updates for their AO3 fic and fanart. They're also an artist across multiple mediums — writing, painting/drawing, singing, and instruments.

About the fic: The Names of Leo Valdez follows a younger Leo settling into Camp Half-Blood before The Lost Hero, exploring his character and his parallels with Percy.

Will they post again? Almost certainly yes, and soon! As recently as March 29, 2026, Lynxiah posted on Tumblr that chapter 14 is coming out soon — it's halfway written and covers Leo, Connor, and Travis moments, a caring older-brother Percy dynamic, and a conversation between Leo and Nico, plus art.

So it sounds like a new chapter is actively in progress and could drop any time! Definitely worth keeping an eye on their Tumblr or subscribing to the fic on AO3 for update notifications.

You heard that y’all! Update coming soon, and a sneak peak of Chapter 14 is coming even sooner!!!

[jasonsweetie]

why is the pjo fandom dead

[carlotaamm]

IT'S ALIVE GUYS. Check out watttpad and a03, there's so many fics –and so many non-romantic stories to check out too.

• @lynxiah's "The Names of Leo Valdez": This one follows a younger Leo settling in Camp before TLH, and it delves deeper in Leo's character arc. My favorite part is it shows and cherishes the parallels between Percy and Leo. It's incredible, go give it some love.

OHMYGOODNESS SOMEONE SHOUTED OUT MY FIC!!!

To new AND old readers, the newest chapter (14) is coming out soon! It’s halfway written, covers hilarious Leo, Connor, and Travis moments, caring older brother Percy, AND an incredibly realistic (awkward, stilted, heart-breaking) conversation between Leo and Nico!!! And ART!!

[lynxiah]

Anyone else love Spider-Man Into-the-Spiderverse?! The ART. The ANIMATION. I had to draw it. So here it is!!! And it’s Gwen Stacy, of course, because her character design is GORGEOUS.

[lynxiah]

Finally finished my Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters art!

[lynxiah]

I’ve never drawn Iron Man before, but Walker Scobell mentioned that the 1st movie is his favorite on Disney+ so I had to rewatch and draw!

[lynxiah]

Guys, I really like Sea of Monsters. The show’s lighting, imagery, and cinematography is reaching every art corner of my brain. So here’s a little doodle I did while watching the three newest episodes (I will not disclose how many times I’ve already watched them lol).
