Honestly I think Nico should have died at the end of BoO—hear me out ok just hear me out—and been a martyr figure for a while about a year and then somehow come back just before Tower of Nero and he’s there with Apollo the whole book hanging out with the trogs and kicking Nero’s ass.
It’s just that literally everything in BoO is foreshadowing Nico’s death. Hades’s whole speech about how “some deaths can not / should not be prevented”.
Nico having that dream about Ella reciting that line from the sybline books “the fall of the sun / the final verse”. Because that’s the next prophecy Nico will be apart of and also when Nico makes the big announcement that’s he’s alive again / came back from the dead / is immortal now.
It’s just that there is so much more foreshadowing into Nicos death and martyrdom beyond these points it’s insane. If BoO was fresher in my mind I would be going on about it for eternity.
I mean I kinda understand why Rick wanted to keep him alive because he didn’t want to buy into the whole “bury your gays” trope. But he could have done something like he did with Leo’s last chapter to show that even tho he’s dead Nicos not gone and that he’s still going to be part of the series whilst being a martyr and he may be back in the future.
Maybe Hades makes him immortal. I think that would fit best because of the parallels between Apollo just loosing his immortality and going through hell trying to get it back and then here’s Nico flaunting his fresh shiny new immortality with no idea what he’s doing with it.
Or Maybe Nico come back earlier than ToN because Jason did the Orpheus/Eurydice deal. And maybe when Jason dies Nico does the Orpheus/Eurydice deal so they’re both back from the dead there kicking Neros ass. That would be fun to see.
Side notes: it would be heart breaking if Nico gave Hazel the skull ring right before he leaves with the statue. And she doesn’t want to take it but she does.
And double heart breaking if she refuses to take the ring because she believes Nico will survive this and the ring is going to stay with him.
Triple heart breaking if Hazel doesn’t take the ring or if he can’t get to her in time he asks Reyna or Percy or Jason or Frank to give her the ring for him right before he dies.
I think Percy would be the most heart breaking and the most fitting for this because of Bianca trying to give Nico the Hades figurine. Nico trying to give Hazel the ring that was a gift from their father. History repeating itself. Percy is shattered once again.

Grover is busy with Lord of the Wild stuff and Annabeth is in New Rome studying engineering and architecture and Estelle looks Percy dead in the eyes one evening and tells him to leave her alone because she needs space so Percy winds up attaching himself to Nico like a barnacle after Sally privately asks him to get Percy out of the house for a few hours, and Nico just lets himself get swept up into Percy's neediness, even though he hasn't been a touchy-touchy person in years, but Percy is horribly attentive and protective and it's everything he's ever wanted and more and he just lets himself soak into it, willing to have the fantasy for as long as he can.
It won't last forever. He knows that. Eventually Grover will be back from diplomatic missions across pantheons and advocating for environmental rights, and Annabeth will return from California, and Nico will get tossed to the shadows like he always does, but for right now, he will sit in Percy's sunlight and soak it in like a happy cat, and pretend.

There’re 3 most popular Nico ships and I find it really interesting how I can go to each for different vibes/ experiences. It’s truly fascinating. I’m serious.
The first one I can see pure fluff and sweet lovey-doveys that lights up my soul. The second one I usually go for the bittersweet taste and that lingering gentle sadness. The third one I store my unhealthy urges to see they lost in pains and broken by their own mistakes.
Of course, all of them have diverse themes and it’s not hard to find one with the other vibes. The writers are wild and incredible, I’d give them that. What I’m trying to say here is just to share my personal thoughts and experiences on different ships - how they have made an impression in me and how my mind has come to portray them based on it. 👀
Anw, all are amazing. Kudos to everyone out there contributing their love to the fandom

I wrote a little percico something that went on maybe a bit too long. Saw this @doevademe post and I had to do it, so here we go 🫡
The first thing Nico noticed when he woke up were the two strong arms gently holding him. For a second, he revelled in the embrace, breathing the soft warm skin against his. Until the person it belonged to moved and groaned under his breath. Nico tensed, now very awake, and sat up with an undignified cry, eyes wide open. The man next to him immediately rose, looking around, alert.
"What? What is going on? Are we being attacked?"
There was a man. In his bed. And he was staring at him. Nico looked up, flushed. Too much skin out. The eyes were safe. Or… no, scratch that. Why were this guy’s eyes so big and green?
"Hum, who are you?"
He discretely pulled the sheets to cover his naked torso, eyes firmly in the infinite green which now had taken on a worried tint. That’s when he realized the guy was in his underwear.
"Nico?"
"I’m Nico!"
He was trying to stay calm. But a half naked guy was in his bed! What was he supposed to do? And he was hot, too. Why was he hot?
Focus, Nico.
"Yeah… I know that…"
Oh no… Was this a one night stand situation and he had forgotten about it? He didn’t drink much, neither did he ever bring random men home. So that couldn’t be it. Or could it? What did he do the day before? Why was everything so fuzzy? Urgh, here was the headache.
"So who are you?" He said again, feeling increasingly panicked.
The stranger’s outstretched hand halted halfway before pulling back to rest on the sheets. Nope, he wasn’t looking there.
"I’m Percy… Your…"
"Why are you in my bed? No, you know what, it’s fine, I don’t care. Just leave."
Okay, maybe it was a bit rude. If it was a hook up thing like he suspected, not only must he have been extremely hammered and out of it, but he had also brought the guy back. Whoever this Percy guy was. So he could at least not be a complete asshole about it.
"I mean, it was nice. I guess. You must have things to do now, don’t you? Like, outside of my home."
A dead silence and eyes too big, too focused on him. Couldn’t he at least pretend to be embarrassed or something? Then he asked, barely audible.
"You really don’t know who I am?"
Was this hurt he heard in his voice?
Nico’s fingers tightened on the sheets. Guilt was making its slow poisoning way in and it didn't feel good at all. Did they talk, connected somehow before they came back? This made things so much more awkward.
In truth, while he had grown into himself in the past few years, he still struggled to believe in certain things. Like the possibility that a man that looked like that, with his big intense eyes that seemed to see too much and that was clearly holding back the urge to touch, could have been interested in someone like him. Someone who still had a hard time letting go and making connections. Someone that felt too much too fast. Someone who could be overwhelming and not enough at the same time. Was Percy expecting anything more to come out of this? He flirted with the idea for a second. What would it be like to get to know this guy? To talk to him, sober this time... But then, if Percy wasn’t a demigod, there were secrets that would have to come out eventually. And if he was... well, it was maybe worse.
"I really don’t. Sorry."
"Are you… feeling okay? Outside of not knowing who I am, I mean?"
"Did I drink a lot? I kind of have a headache, I must have drunk a lot.'
"You certainly did not."
He was looking full on concerned, now.
"Okay. Hum… I’m gonna fix this. I don’t know what it is, but I promise, I’m gonna fix it. Yes, just… stay here, ok?"
Not waiting for an answer, Percy got up – Nico definitely did not look at all that tanned skin on display – and grabbed his clothes. He stood beside the bed for a brief second and Nico wondered what was going through his mind. In the end, he didn’t say anything more and left.
Well, that certainly was weird.
At the sound of the door closing, Nico groaned and fell back onto the pillows. What in Hades did he do to get that guy in his bed? He threw the cover over his head and furiously rubbed at his cheeks. Being so hot and naked should be illegal!
As the morning went by, Nico put most of the pieces back together. He had been on a quest for the past few days: some demigod had made her way into his father’s domain and stole something. A liquid. He couldn’t figure out exactly what it was but it had made Hades furious that the hero had escaped mostly unscathed, making an absolute mess down there. Nico had eventually caught up with the girl and got the vial back. Well, it broke, so she couldn’t have used it for whatever purpose she wanted it for. But after that… nothing. Every time he tried to remember, he drew a blank and his headache got worse.
By lunchtime, he had given up on trying to figure it out. If the liquid was lost, he had accomplished his mission. He would probably have to find the girl later and figure out how she pulled it off though.
The doorbell took him out of his thoughts.
"Are you sick or just really unhappy to see me?"
There was no bad mood that Hazel’s smile couldn’t wash away. Too bad it didn’t work with headaches also.
"Can’t it be both?"
"Don’t you sass me." She gave him a side eye and pushed her way in.
He was glad she wasn't wearing her battle gear as she sometimes tended to do, preferring it today a light yellow dress and high boots, her big curly hair a halo around her round face. He knew the mist did miracles but he would rather not test it as his neighbours had the annoying tendency to be too nosy.
"What are we having? I’m starving."
"Who invited you?" He asked with a laugh.
She shrugged and said:
"The pretty stranger you woke up next to this morning."
Nico stopped on his way to the kitchen and turned to look at her. He had almost forgotten that happened. How did she even…?
"Is he a friend of yours?"
"You could say that. He asked me to come check up on you while he’s talking to Chiron."
"So he is a demigod."
He debated asking, but considering it could hardly be more embarrassing that it already was, he went for it. She clearly already knew, anyway.
"So… do you know how he ended up, hum, here?"
"In your bed, you mean?" She smiled, rummaging around in the kitchen. "I presume he walked there. Like, you know, every night."
"I don’t understand."
His headache was acting up again.
She studied him for a moment and must have decided to take pity on him since she sat at the table and gestured for him to follow suit.
"He said you seemed to have trouble remembering. Ok, so you were on a quest with Percy for a while. You didn’t really share the details so I don’t know much, but you said that father was on your back about it. I was visiting camp half blood when Percy brought you back yesterday, passed out. He said that something broke and spilled all over you. When he was sure you were just sleeping and not hurt, he brought you back here."
"So he’s…"
"Living with you, yes."
"And we are…?"
"Together? Yes."
"That can’t be. I would remember something like that."
"Like you remembered your childhood?"
Her tone was soft as she said so. He had been mad at his father for taking pieces of his life before. Understanding the reasons didn't nullify the hurt of feeling yourself unwhole. But he had gotten over it. He had to, and she knew it was a soft spot, still. But it happening again…
"But this doesn't make sense. I mean, this guy… Percy…"
The name didn't stir up anything in his mind no matter how hard he was looking for it. It wasn't like losing his memories the first time. As a kid, an entire part of his life had been a blurry mess he couldn't navigate. Once he had been aware of it, he just couldn't miss the hole inside until his memories were given back. Until he was made one with himself again. But this was not it. How could he be missing a single person from his mind without anything else being different? Or was something else lost too?
"I remember you. I remember meeting you, bringing you back to camp Jupiter. I remember the wars. I remember my friends, Jason and Reyna. I remember my job, the quests I took on for camp and father. Only yesterday is foggy. How can I have lost an entire person, it doesn't make sense. Especially if he is important enough for me to actually live with him. When did I even meet him, how would that even fit? How would I have time to get to know him and go out and..."
She sighed and took his hands in hers. He looked up at her as if she held all the answers.
"Why do you think you don't deserve to be happy?"
"What? I didn't…"
"Weirder things have happened to you. To the both of us. And I'm still not sure any of it makes total sense. Life is weird and the gods are weirder. But you finally found peace and I really don't want you to lose it again. Trust me, Percy is very much part of your life. Has been for a long time. You knew him way before we met."
The idea was absurd and everything in him was still fighting it. But she held his gaze and he breathed out the tension. She couldn't lie, not to him.
"Well,” he said, still feeling awkward, “you have to admit, I don't exactly have the best track record for happy stuff coming my way without some kind of heavy setback.”
She smiled and let go.
"Yeah, tell me about it."
"Still. He feels… dangerous, somehow."
"Only to his enemies." She answered with a smile that seemed to say more than he could understand. "Now that you're not like "woe is me, I'm dating a stud" anymore, can I have some food?"
Percy came back as the evening was slowly setting. Nico was expecting him, maybe even hoping a little bit. Well, the guy was totally his type, who could blame him? Certainly not his heart beating too fast as Hazel almost threw him out of his own home when Percy had asked him if he could take him somewhere.
Nico quickly let go of Percy's hand when they came out on the other side of the shadows. The strong ocean breeze was first to catch his attention. They were on a beach like there were plenty others on the coast. The open sky was a dense honey yellow fading to a deep red horizon. Soft looking trails of blue and purple clouds above them reflected the ever expanding water below. Percy took off his shoes and socks and started walking along the water, leaving footprints In the sand. Not knowing what else to do, and too curious to turn back, Nico followed.
"Why are we here?" He trusted Hazel and if she said Percy was safe then he had no reason to worry. Still, even after having hours to get used to the idea, this was strange and he could feel his body ready to fade in the first shadow around, just in case.
"I used to come here with my mother when I was younger. Those rare times when we could get away, just the two of us. I've always liked it here." Percy wasn't looking at him, gaze lost in the ocean. "It's the only place where I felt like I had my mother and my father at the same time. Before I knew about the whole demigod thing. After that, we didn't really come back. I guess neither of us felt like we needed it anymore. But I missed it. It brings me back to a time where the world was so much smaller and kind of made sense. A world where nothing mattered more than my mother bringing me here and spending time with me away from home."
It felt weird, listening to him. As if he was prying, stepping on an intimate moment he was never meant to witness. But Percy was the one to ask him to get him here. And despite himself, Nico wanted to know.
"I brought your here a while ago. We had been dating for three months at that point and we spend the night at the same cabin I used to stay at as a kid. This was one of the most important moments in my life."
If Percy hadn’t stopped to stare at it, he would have missed it.
It was small, faded pastel blue on wood, the bottom buried in the sand. Nothing exceptional or even all that pretty but he could feel the weight of it. This place. This moment. And it was a lot. And Percy was looking at him, now. Waiting. They seemed to have this thing, history. There was a heaviness to the kind of relationship he was describing, what his words implied, and it almost scared him. Nico wanted it though, he wanted the longing in the green of Percy's eyes. He wanted to wash away the sadness that lied there. He wanted all those things that Percy thought they had. But listening to him, coming here, it still resonated hollow. No part of Nico recognised this. It felt like a nice dream, nothing more. No one who knew him could want him that badly. He had friends, a family, a purpose and it was fine but this…. This felt like what the child in him still considered to be his whole: a boy who would look at him and want him. Someone who knew the ins and outs of him and would still long to hold him, stay with him. And it was terrifying. If this whole thing was a joke, he couldn't imagine crueller one.
But he kept his mouth shut. it was painful but he wanted to see, to know the end of it. Even if he couldn't remember. Even if it wasn't true at all. If the dream had to end, he would let himself see it through first. Future Nico could deal with the heartbreak once it was over.
"I was the one to ask you out." Percy said holding his gaze. "You agreed, but until then it didn't feel like you took me seriously. I understood why, but it still hurt a little. It took time,, and we became something even more than I expected." He took a deep breath and the sadness was now reflected in every inch of him. "I thought I could fix this, that there had to be a solution, and I’m not giving up just yet. But even Chiron doesn’t know what to do and since you don’t appear to be missing anything else..."
Percy was still waiting for something. Nico looked away.
"I'm sorry. You seem like a nice guy and all, but I don't know you."
It was almost painful to say. If this all was true, why couldn’t he just remember?
"I told you then and I'll say it as many times as it takes. If my world were to be this small again, I still need you to be part of it. No matter how long it takes me, I'll prove it to you. If you let me, Nico, I will get you back."
Never before had he seen more sincerity in someone’s face and it hurt. For a moment, he was once more the kid getting hold of his powers, called by every shadow, pulled in all directions because he still couldn’t ground himself. Of course he couldn’t be whoever this guy thought he was. But he wanted to, he wanted to so badly. So he took a step forward and kissed him. And oh gods this guy could kiss!
Percy held him against his body and the shadows faded. His fingers caressed his cheeks and the pieces clicked together again. This was his place, it never ceased to be. How could he have ever doubted? When Percy pulled away for breath, his nose was still lightly brushing his.
"You seem to have missed something," Nico said, a laugh bubbling in his chest.
"I, what?"
"You know, the part where we’ve been married for like a month!"
"Oh, that. I didn’t want to… wait..."
Percy drew back and searched his face, frowning.
"Do you remember me, now?"
"Well, I guess the gods have a nasty sense of humour. You know, true love’s kiss and all that." And he let the chuckle out, unable to hold it back anymore. Percy was starting to look worried. But this whole thing was so silly and needlessly messy, he couldn’t help it.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, way better now." And he kissed him again. Because he wanted to, and he could and his husband being confused was kind of funny.
"I think she was an Aphrodite kid. She must have messed with the Lethe water she stole."
"What?"
"Let’s just go home, it’s late."
Nico pulled Percy to him and stepped in the shadow of the cabin.

Prompt : truth serum/no brain to mouth filter (funny there's a goddess of truth with both roman and Greek aspects so it could take place before Nico ever confessed his feeling in BoO)
I can imagine Percy just asking what Nico's problem is and Nico going it's you. Why couldn't Percy just leave him alone in the labyrinth? He would have rotted in his own grief and not cared for once he was absolutely fearless but then Percy had to try to help him and Nico had to start caring in return and he was afraid all over again and then Percy just went missing. Nico didn't this fragile before Percy just rushed back into his life. Now he's always scared of forgetting how to breath for fear of something happening to Percy.
Also a question. Is it okay to use your prompts as a basis for a much longer fic? With crediting you of course
(It's completely okay! The prompts are not mine, after all! And seeing more Percico works is always great!)
The only thing Percy knew for certain was that Nico was upset.
The Son of Hades had sealed himself off inside his cabin and was refusing to see anyone. Percy had been called by some Demeter kids who were worried his bad mood would kill their plants.
Percy was more than a bit annoyed at that. Despite all that Nico had done during the fight against Chronos, it seemed like he needed to keep saving camp every other week to make sure campers didn't cower at his presence.
He was going to Nico because he was his friend, not to help a bunch of ungrateful demigods who didn't see his worth.
"Nico?" He called, knocking on the door.
"I'm here," Nico said from inside, and then cursed. "The door is locked!"
"Are you okay?" He asked, worried. Nico hadn't sounded that distressed in a while. "Are the other campers giving you a hard time?"
"No more than usual," he called. "But I... I can't be around anyone for a while."
"Please open up," Percy tried. There was a pause. "Just talk to me, Nico. What's wrong?"
"I... I have to answer," Nico said softly. There was a click and the door opened. "I have to answer every question truthfully for the next few days... I can't be around anyone like this, Percy!"
Percy sighed in relief as he felt his heart go back to a regular rate. No one had hurt Nico or made him question his place again. He had just been cursed.
"How did you end up like this?" Percy asked, entering the cabin before Nico could lock himself up again.
Nico glared at him, but sat down on his bed.
"Daedalus found an opening between the Underworld and the world of the living while working on one of the spirit highways," Nico explained. Percy sat down on the bed next to his. "These cracks open and close all the time, but with the spirit road passing so close, some ghosts could escape, so I was sent to patch it."
"Sounds easy enough," Percy commented.
"It was supposed to be easy!" Nico exclaimed. "But then, I couldn't find where it was leading, so the only way was to made the crack wider and then pass through."
"It had something in it?" Percy guessed. Nico nodded.
"It led to Aletheia's Holy Well," he explained. At Percy's confused stare, he sighed. "The goddess of truth. She cursed me for breaking her floor."
Percy couldn't help it, he laughed. Nico's glare turned even more deadly.
"It's not funny!" Nico hissed. "I'll be stuck like this until the skeletons I left at the well finish repairing the damages!"
"I-I'm sorry, but these sort of things normally happen to me," Percy said, breathing to control himself. "So I'm glad to not be the only one."
"Okay, now you know," Nico said. "So leave."
"Oh, come on, Nico, it's just me," Percy said. "Don't you trust me to not reveal your deepest, darkest secrets?" he teased.
Nico looked terrified and shoved him to the floor.
"You knowing them would be awful!" Nico shouted before covering his mouth.
"Ow," he winced. "What's your problem, Nico?"
Nico's eyes widened as he pressed his hands tighter around his mouth. He mumbled around his hands, and he wouldn't stop speaking the same muffled word over and over.
Nico gave up and relaxed his hand.
"You are," he said. "You are my problem, Percy Jackson."
"Me? What did I do?" Percy asked, offended. He realized belatedly that he probably should stop asking Nico questions.
"You cared!" Nico said in frustration. "I was fine just wallowing on my own! Wasting away with only Minos and a goal to bring my sister back!"
"Nico..."
"I had already gotten over seeing you as this perfect hero who would save me. I was getting over everything!" Nico kept saying. His face kept getting more and more afraid. "But no, you had to care about me, kept trying to save me, and made me care back!"
"Nico, you don't have to answer anymore," Percy tried, more worried over his friend that anything. "That's enough."
"I wish it was, but I keep talking without wanting to," Nico said, his eyes getting wet. "I'm staying here because I care about you Percy, and because you made me believe you care about me, even if I'm as hated here as I am everywhere else."
"I'm sorry," Percy said. He wanted to hug Nico, to wipe his tears away and lie in bed with him until he calmed down. Nico and him didn't have that kind of relationship, though. "I'm sorry camp isn't the place it ought to be for you... but I'll never be sorry for caring about you."
"Huh?"
"I want you here at camp because I want you to be safe," Percy said. "And yeah, maybe it's the source of your problems, but I can't, won't ever stop caring about you and your safety, Nico."
Nico wiped his tears. His face had gotten red, maybe from all the shouting and holding back.
"I'm glad you care about me," Percy continued. "It means I could get through to you. You weren't fine back at the Labyrinth, Nico. Just full of rage and pain, that you feel this way... well, it makes me happy."
"I was fine... in other ways," Nico admitted. "Being angry meant I wasn't hurting as bad."
"Because of Bianca?" Percy asked, only to immediately hit himself.
"That... and other things," Nico tried experimentally. When nothing else came out of his mind he sighed in relief. "You can't stay here Percy. There are things I don't want anyone to know, not even you."
Percy smiled. He ruffled Nico's hair affectionately. The son of Hades didn't complain.
"Okay, but I'll be back to bring you dinner," he said. "I'll try not to ask questions, but you need human interaction. Sound good?"
"No," Nico said. "But it's acceptable."
"Great!" Percy said. "I'll be back later, maybe even bring you breakfast tomorrow!"
"Why do so much? The skeletons can take care of me..."
"Because you care about me!" Percy sang childishly. He stood up and opened the door. "And I care about you too, isn't that enough?"
Percy left before Nico was forced to answer. Had he stayed, he would have heard Nico say, "No, because I want more than what you can give me..."

HYBRID THEORY
Chapter 24
Fandom: Percy Jackson and the Olympians / Heroes of Olympus
Summary: Percy dies in battle.  A very tragic death that wasn’t at all lame, thank you. Unfortunately, the gods aren’t done with him yet. Instead of waking up in Charon’s waiting room as he should, Percy wakes up in the courtyard of Hotel Valhalla.  Thinking things can’t possibly get worse he runs to Carter Kane for help. In hindsight, that probably wasn’t the best idea he’d ever had.
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Major Character Death, Canon Typical Violence, Off Scene Sexual Content, sex addiction - kinda, Percy’s PTSD, super self destructive behavior
Characters: Percy Jackson, Nico DiAngelo, Piper McLean, Jason Grace, Samirah al-Abbas, Magnus Chase, Sadie Kane, Leo Valdez, Jasmine Anderson, Hazel Levesque, Thalia Grace, Reyna Ramirez Arellano, Thomas Jefferson, Annabeth Chase
Pairings: Percico, Cannon Pairings, Leo/Reyna, Percy/Jaz - kinda, Percy/TJ - kinda
Chapter Preview
"They don't care about music or any kind of noise at all." Annabeth confirms. "I guess the raven makes them too smart to get whipped into a frenzy like that."
It's not what I want to hear. "Ravens like shiny objects." I look to see that T.J, has abandoned the group of single pantheon soldiers to talk with Annabeth and I. He is also a strategist and I am not surprised that he is inclined to join the leadership when a fight is going poorly.
Annabeth takes that tidbit and runs with it. "We could bring out some metals large enough be worth a roc's time. Set them about and ambush the birds that take the bait. It would definitely lower their numbers."
"As long we get it done fast." I say. "Wise Girl, head up coordinating that with rest of the adult campers. The kids stay in hiding. Reyna, Leo and I will distract the monsters with support form everybody else." I try not to mention that we're probably all going to get killed.
"I'm coming with you." T.J. says suddenly.

An Omega's Heat - A Percico Fanfic (Part 1)
Summary:
Nico’s gone into heat and Percy agrees to stay with him during it despite Camp Half-Blood’s rules.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3rd Person POV  
Although he really didn't feel like doing anything, Nico decided to Iris-Message his boyfriend to let him know he may not be able to make it to their date night. He really didn't want to let his alpha down, but it wasn't like he had a choice, either.   Once the Iris-Message was set up, Nico took a deep breath and watched Percy's face appear in the mist.
  "Hey, babe! What's up?"
  Percy said happily. Nico bit his lip before answering and glanced over at the calendar on his cabin wall. His heat was exactly four days away and the numbers on the calendar stared at him dauntingly as if to say; go on, say it. Your heat is practically here, so tell Percy. 
  "...Nico? Are you alright?"
  He turned his attention back to Percy and apologized quickly.
  "Hm? Yeah, yeah I'm fine...It's just...I don't think we'll be able to have our picnic tonight."
  Nico felt bad just expressing that. He really was looking forward to his date with Percy and now he felt like his heat ruined that. It was bad enough that he was Iris-Messaging his alpha while curled up on the couch clutching his cramping stomach while counting down the days to his heat, as if that didn't add to his embarrassment already. 
  "Oh...Well, that's too bad. Can you tell me why? I'm sure we could figure something else out, if you want."
  I don't deserve someone as understanding as you, Nico thought privately. 
  "Well, I, uh...I'm not feeling great, and I'm really sorry that I have to cancel."
  He said, blush rising to his face. Immediately, Percy's expression turned from slightly disappointed to concerned within the blink of an eye. 
  "What's wrong? Is everything okay? Can I do anything?"
  "Everything's fine..."
  Nico began.
  "Yeah? And?"
  Percy asked worriedly.
  "It's really nothing, I'm just going into heat in a few days and I feel like shit."
  Nico laughed nervously, barely managing to hide his chagrin. 
  "How many days?"
  Percy asked.
  "Like four or something, but it doesn't matter it's fi-"
  "I'm coming over."
  He said and the Iris-Message shut off after that. Nico didn't really know what to do, aside from assure Percy that everything was okay and he could just wait it out, and now he was coming over. Just great.    He looked around his cabin, which he always kept very neat and tidy, but now he felt extra self-conscious and he felt like he needed to clean up even though there wasn't really anything to clean up. 
  Lucky for him, Percy didn't show up at the door right away so Nico spent the time being getting up off the couch and sweeping up cabin 13 a little bit while keeping an eye on the clock which hung on one wall of his place.      After trying to sweep up non-existent dust, he flopped back down on the couch again but immediately regretted it. A sharp stab of pain was felt from his abdomen and he winced in agony. Nico really wished Percy wouldn't have to see him like this, even though this wasn't his first heat and certainly not his first heat being shared with his alpha. 
  Nico cautiously turned onto his side, groaning as he did so, and he waited for Percy to get there. About twenty minutes passed and he still wasn't there, Nico guessed Percy was preoccupied with something and was about to take a nap before he heard a sharp knock on the door.
  "Come in."
  He said weakly, inwardly cursing himself for sounded so meek. Percy opened the door in an instant and was carrying a bunch of bags, blankets, and pillows.
  "Sorry I'm late."
  He said and it sounded like he was completely out of breath.
  "It's cool, but...What's all this?"
  Nico asked and Percy chuckled lightly.
  "Whether you like it or not, I'm staying over. And I brought your favorite snacks, a board game, some movies, and my overnight stuff."
  Nico wasn't much of a sap but just the thought that Percy took all this time and effort to bring over his favorite things really touched him. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't blushing like crazing at the moment. 
  "You didn't have to do that, you know."
  Nico said as he cocked an eyebrow.
  "Yes,"
  Percy began to say but paused to kiss his forehead.
  "I did."
  His heart sped up and he made grabbing motions for his boyfriend to stay and kiss him longer.
  "Wait."
  Nico said and Percy eagerly pressed his lips onto the omega's for a few moments longer.
  "Thank you. For all this, I mean."
  He said as he gestured to the pile of stuff Percy brought.
  "You're welcome, baby. But I should probably get everything set up now, shouldn't I?"
  "Mhm."
  He said and Percy then set out the board games and movies on the coffee table in front of the couch, and piled the pillows and blankets up beside Nico. He took out the snacks (which was mostly junk food, but Nico wasn't complaining) and placed them on the table next to the games and then went to the bathroom to set up his tooth brush and stuff before coming back out and joining Nico on the couch.
  "So, what do you want to do?"
  Percy asked and Nico felt a little taken aback. 
  "Don't ask me that, Percy! Our date was completely ruined and it's my fault and now you feel like you have to do all this for me and it's not fucking fair! You deserve a nice picnic date and I can't get my shit together enough to even join you for that. How could you ask me what I want to do when we couldn't even get to do what you wanted to do? How is that even-"
  "Hey, hey, hey, it's okay, okay? Forget the damn picnic. I'm just happy to be here with you, alright, my love? I'm being serious. Nico, please listen to me."
  Percy cupped his face in both his hands and Nico sniffled pitifully. He didn't mean to get so emotional, but things would have been different if it weren't for his fucking heat. For the gods' sakes, he was crying now and it wasn't fair. 
  "This is exactly why you shouldn't be with me during my heat! I don't want you to have to deal with my mood swings because they suck."
  He grumbled irritatingly, but Percy simply kissed his nose and brushed the hair out of his eyes. 
  "I don't mind dealing with your "sucky" mood swings. I pinky promise."
  Percy said as he held up his pinky finger. Nico laughed as if he hadn't just been crying two seconds ago and linked his own pinky with Percy's. 
  "You're such a dork."
  He laughed again at their intertwined pinkies and eventually let go of them. 
  "Well, I guess if you can't decide what we should do then we're watching a movie."
  Percy decided and Nico was okay with that as long as he was with his alpha.   All cabins had a TV which had been seriously modified by the Hephaestus kids so that it was safe to use, and Percy turned it on with the remote. 
  "What movie do you want to watch?"
  He asked and Nico shrugged. 
  "Something Disney. It'll make me feel better."
  He said and Percy grinned.
  "Disney it is, then."
  They decided on watching the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie. While it was playing, Nico subconsciously gathered up the blankets and pillows that Percy brought and started nesting while the movie played in the background.    By the time Jack Sparrow sailed off and Will and Elizabeth kissed at the very end of the film, Nico had already built an elaborate nest and was curling up inside it while Percy turned the TV off as the credits began to roll. 
  "You look cozy."
  He said as he looked down at Nico, who was on the edge of dozing off in his complicated looking nest. 
  "Yeah. I'm getting tired."
  He yawned and started to drift off.
  "Let's brush our teeth first, then we can go to sleep. Sound good, little omega?"
  Nico purred softly as he allowed Percy to pick him up and carry him to the bathroom where they brushed their teeth and wound down for bedtime. 
The
  End.

SO,
which of those fics you’re hiding away appeals to you the most?
AND, what do you believe are the specific obstacles between you and figuring out how to finish it? if it’s a lack of foundation, what specifically is lacking in the foundation? if it needs more research, what would you need to research? if you’re not in the right mindspace anymore for the story you were telling, how has your mindset matured between then and now?
I think this is the first time I've had a legitimate and decent question in a really long time and honestly for that I'm going to give you a bit more information than you asked for bcs you've given me and Excuse.
First off, I'm going to give you info abt more than one, bcs asking which one "appeals" to me the most is like asking me to pick a favorite child, specifically the ones I have the most regrets about:
(This got super long I'm sorry)
(FE3H) A Study in Late-Onset Emotional Responsiveness - This is abt Byleth but in particular abt their response to *spoiler*'s death from a 3rd person perspective. I favor GD so it's from Claude's. The reason this makes the list is bcs while it's not as large as some of the other fics, it has what I think is one of my absolute best written little idk, metaphor isn't exactly what I'm looking for, but there's a poetry to it that just, I think it's good. I think it's real good.
(PJO) Love and Dying, Per the Sea - Not-really-Percico Hanahaki AU abt overcoming self-destructive loves and growing with it and growing against it. as much as I want to continue it, fandom climate grew in such a way that I was uncomfortable writing for characters in this age bracket/the age range of the target demographic. Also, I'd have to decide if I want to make it have a shippy endgame or not. Which again, Fandom got to be such a way that I got nervous about touching on any of that...
(DCMK) Bindings Between Us - Kaishin fic series centered around books and libraries. DCMK is... a fandom that has always been *good* to my fics and they're the one fandom that I contemplate writing for the most bcs of the validation they give me. This fic I would need to do a lot of research on esp mystery and heist novels since the "prequel" is abt them making sassy comments at each other via book exchange. there are two other prequels that I had ideas for/started to write but there's a decent bit of it that *relies* on the history of the book exchange, for that *and* the sequel. but also just, hm, i feel like outside of the prequel I don't feel as much direction in it (Note, you would not believe how many other DCMK fics I've got plotted out in my gdocs. Major fics even. The biggest roadblock to *all* of them is largely that either they need to be casefics, which I sometimes am not the cleverest at *making* puzzles even if I love solving them, or that there needs to at least be some degree of references to cases/heists to make it work.)
My writing has definitely matured a lot from my DCMK days, and I wonder if I could really manage to not make things... sound like they work together I guess. I like to think my character portrayals have gotten more in-depth and human, but in particular a lot of that means mess. I love mess, but not SOLID mess. like. Dynamic mess where people have flaws and hurt each other but work on it, or sometimes they just accept those flaws are going to hurt but they love someone enough to deal with it bcs it's not toxic - or, sometimes, it is toxic and it's about learning when to leave each other mutually even though it hurts but at least you had each other for a while - enough for it to have been good, enough before it became something bad. People are different and aren't going to agree. It's making the broken pieces of each other fit even though sometimes those pieces really really don't want to.
(TPP) Courtly Affairs - SpaceFae. Just... SpaceFae. The worldbuilding I have tucked away for this mfer that's never going to see the light of day even if I DID finish it is insane. I'm... so far behind on this podcast that I don't think I could do it justice until I do, but it's gotten *harder* for me to focus on them so it's... a lot. Mostly it's that yeah. well, and also a similar thing to the DCMK stuff is that all three of the fics that are supposed to go in this series are Casefics that build to one overhead case and like, that's a lot of interwoven Plot that I have to do just for character development. Lays down.
(NTWEWY) The Art of Living - this was posted as a oneshot, I'm very content with it, it's not my most popular work by a longshot bcs idc how big the fandom is in general but the dynamics that this oneshot covered are so very Niche that most people won't even look twice at it. "But Axel, this is about stuff you haven't written/posted, why are you talking about something you DID?" because, my friend, it was supposed to be multi-part, and I settled. It was supposed to be abt Josh being a shit who does nice things in the meanest way possible and Shoka calling him out and them roasting each other. But, also, about depression, suicidal idealization, and finding reasons to live for yourself and not just for other people. About finding Yourself when you want the people you care about to find You first and make the whole experience easier. It's a bit... raw, and I suppose that makes me nervous. (I also tried to get back into art/drawing with this one, I've got a picture all laid out for the scene but I can't bring myself to finish it.)
(AA) Unnamed LangWrightWorth - I have to confess that this one is actually the least planned out one. At least, not in the way the others are. Like? in the other ones (not counting the oneshot)? I've got several files of JUST notes and keeping track of things and Chapter Breakdowns. this one is just some rough backstory then some word vomit and a vague direction of where I wanna go with it/events I need to happen that I haven't notated outside of that One File. But it's got so much flavor. honestly? I think the biggest obstacle here is my brain is not fixated on this fandom rn.
Now we're in to my most recent fics in my Current Hyperfixation.
(DC/Batfam) Peggy Sue Me for Trying to Make Things Right - Jason Peggy Sue via deus ex machina. He recruits Tim as his civilian confidant and gets more than he bargained for. Most of the terrible stuff is canon in the original timeline with some concept-specific causes. I have arguably about 13+ batfam things but some that I feel more strongly like "oh I wish I could write and share this" and this is one of them. The main reason I do is bcs, well, you would not believe how many batfam fics I've read in the past…. idk, 6 months? I've gone through and read the majority of several major tags. a number of fics I've read more than once. This fic is one I really love the idea of but also am the most afraid of doing bcs there are dynamics in the fandom that I don't quite agree with. I tolerate many of them, but I don't agree with them on a legitimate basis. This fic has some *incredibly specific* dynamics in it, and those dynamics are messy. But, like, Human Messy. These people aren't inherently bad or good but sometimes they are Deeply Wrong about how they interact with each other and what they choose to do no matter how Noble they may try to be. This one is also a lil bit of a case fic. I worry about my ability to keep the plot from dragging as I air out the dirty laundry of every character involved.
(DC/Batfam) Essential Vigilante Guides -Jason Todd-centric. Utilized my highly specific Jason Todd's Bio family backstory that I thought was fun. Jason doesn't have a lot of canon friends from his Robin days and this fic doesn't exactly fix that - it's about him compensating for not having peers of his own by chatting up the only people he is around enough to build a relationship with: Villains. This right here is legitimately THE main fic I was referring to when it comes to having things plotted out to be honest, because each one that I think about maybe possibly sharing just kinda makes the feeling bigger. 3 seven-chapter fics either 3 oneshots or a single collection of those (and possibly other) oneshots to cover some gaps. the biggest issue here? Situations. I know what I want to do with the character dynamics. I know my goals for every single chapter. the problem is keeping it jazzy enough to not be some kind of monotonous "It's this situation again but with new character to interact in it!" Especially the second of the multichapter fics. It's... Big. It's intimidating. I don't have a good track record with multichapter fics/series even if this one is basically a bunch of vaguely linear oneshots set to Theme.
My biggest issue overall? Self-confidence. I've been out of the "posting my writing outside my writing discord where my 1 friend who loves me and everything I do can read it" game for so long that I guess I struggle to see value in my work. I struggle to believe that anyone would be interested in it. And, I know, and I fully support the "write for yourself, not anyone else" but the corollary to that is, admittedly, that if it's not for anyone else then why should I show it to anyone else.
IDK, don't get me wrong I love my friends but sometimes I need more support to push me to finish something, and It's been a struggle that I've fallen short on every time I try to get into a new community that could broker that. Not on the part of the community, but on mine. (no I haven't tried getting into any batfam-adjascent communities. I haven't been active in the DC fandom since... not since I used to RP a fanfic-inspired version of Wally West. And RP communities have gotten so much more intense than they used to be.)

The main reason why Percy does not immediately remember everything about Nico in Son of Neptune is because the last time he saw Nico was in the last Olympian almost a year ago. Since then Nico had grown 6 inches taller and his voice had dropped 5 octaves lower (his voice was still cracking sometimes tho) and his face had matured a good bit and his hair was a lot longer. Percy mainly recognized his clothes and mannerisms and the way he talked his slight accent and just the way that he acted. Percy couldn’t remember everything because Nico was so different from the last time he saw him.

Give me a list of all your Nico ships,I don't care how long it is or even who you ship him with,I want to know (Favourite Nico Ship?)
Yeah I want to know too.
No seriously. At this point I can't even keep track of my pairing list. It also doesn't help that I can practically eat everything that has Nico in it - regardless of... everything else. Jesus Christ.
But since you asked, I gotta try my best. I guess it's also a good chance for me to wrap up my own messy thoughts too---
Welp. Let's see. A list of Nico ships I actively contribute in because I have no idea what I know of at this point:
Solangelo, Jasico, Percico: have written about/ have plans to write about
Nico/Alabaster: tons of ideas and headcanons but have yet to decide on a writing plan. I could kill for them tho.
Thanatos/Nico: written one fanfic. Would love to write more but I run out of ideas
SELFCEST NICO. I'M SERIOUS FIGHT ME.
Eros (Cupid)/Nico: once unhealthily enjoyed making Love-you-like-an-enemy headcanons. Still do.
Erebus & Nico: I wouldn't say this as a ship... unless the term 'platonic ship' exist. I prefer to think of them as... soulmates? What do you call two lonely souls seeking each other's company?
Now to the pairings which I leech from others' content, meaning: consume but yet to contribute
Magnus/Nico: It exists and it's true and it's AWESOME
Pollux/Nico: There're at least two fics out there that had me in a chokehold
Child of Persephone x Nico ahsdjkahdkjahdka it was just one fic C'MON
Cecil Markowizt/Nico: Again. ONE fanfic. And it was Portuegeues.
Lukico
Or just platonic in general because there's potential and no one's seeing it so I'm taking it.
primordial god! chronos x ananke! nico courtesy of @avaetin. I fell so hard for it and I'm not even ashamed
Poseidon/Nico: all's Happy's fault. Like. Really.
Nipollo ajdhsajkda Brig shares the blame ok fine I'm crazy about it too and just bc Apollo's a hoe----
Anubis/Nico: thank you @/LapisLazuli13 on AO3
Dionysus/Nico but only if it's by @/robindrake93 on AO3. They have a distinguished figure for Dionysus and I'm neck deep in it
Minos/Nico: shout out to @/silenttoad on AO3 because it's the softest thing ever omfg 😭😭😭 Just for the record, their Minos is worlds different from the canon one. He's actually really nice.
Tons of crossover ships: Arthur/Nico (legitimately my RELIGION), Ciel Phantomhive/Nico,... That time I say Nezha and Nico could be friends. Like I don't... quite ship them but akdsaksaj this proves that you should never hope anything from me
I'm sure this is not all of them... I mean. I have read more. And probably forget a bunch...
I wouldn't say I have a favourite ship... well there're times that I would invest more in a specific pairing, but that doesn't mean I like other ships any less. I have 5 drafts for Jasico and then I have a Nicobaster week and then a Percico-marathon. Generally speaking though, I would say I usually... prioritize (?) the rarepairs. Since you know, the canon one and the more popular ones alr have people building the empire for them. I might be the only one invested in a Son of Persephone with Nico, for example, so I tend to gravitate towards it, in hopes of contributing a small brick for this little tent compared to their nation; or sometimes it's just because there's someone else more invested in me and their dedication fuels me (yes you @drksanctuary).
Anw I hope this gives you an insight into how wild of a being I am LMAO. I'm a proshipper. I have no qualms when it comes to enjoying fiction - as long as I enjoy it. Be free. Trust me.
As I've said, I forgo everything when it comes to Nico. He's my exception. He's always right. If he's wrong I have a few words to Rick------ jk lol or maybe not---

4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44 and 48. No I don't know what any of those questions actually are 😂
Awww you are a sweetheart.
Ok lets see,
4. Percico or Percabeth?
Percico, I don’t even really like that ship but percabeth is something I really hate.
8. Did Luke deserve Elysium?
No, no he didn’t.
Listen I don’t care if he did the right thing at the end, that doesn’t change all the mess up shit he did in the past. Also is the Greek gods we are talking about, are you telling me they are forgiving him? Bitch they had sent people to Tartarus for less (From what I remember, the fields of punishment don’t exists in the myths, is Tartarus)
12. Favorite book?
House of Hades, because not only for that scene, but Hazel is BAMF, Piper learning how to use charmspeak is cool, Percy going nuts is something I enjoy- look I know the book has issues (like all this saga) but still.
16. Cabin you’re in?
I change my mind a lot about it, I would like to say Hades, but I feel that is giving me too much credit in terms of power; the pjo quiz in told me my godly parent was Apollo, which kind of makes sense since I write and I do other artsy stuff, but is funny considering I had a vendetta against the prick since my dear Jason is dead and for his asshole of a son.
…I kind of want to make a self insert with all of this.
20. Leo/Hazel or Frazel?
Both? I ship frazeleo so yeah that answers it.
24. Jeyna or Jasper?
…Neither?
If I need to choose, Jeyna, because I love both of them anyways; but honestly after how horrible Jason was to Reyna in HoO, I cannot ship it. And I already hate Jasper so what you want me to say.
28. Who would you want on your team for Capture the Flag?
Probably Nico and Jason lmao, aside the fact that I love them, they are powerful as fuck. Nico could just shadowtravel to the flag, and Jason could fly to it.
32. Best demigod parents?
You mean like, immortal god? Or mortal parent? Because I don’t remember any demigods being parents, yet.
I will say for mortal parent, Esperanza, because despite knowing all the god deal, she was an amazing mom. And immortal one Hecate, because when she saw her kids trying to kill each other she made sure neither of them would die.
36. Cinnamon Roll demigod?
Um, Lacy I guess? Others would say Hazel but nah she is too badass for that.
40. Most “WTF” moment in the series?
I think when Bianca died, for me at least.
When I was reading the series at first, I really didn’t think someone would died. Sally came back, so did Tyson, and the prophecy said “lost in the desert”
The fact that she died for real took me by surprise.
If you mean something more odd than depressing, hmm, Percy convincing two rivers gods to participate in the war with a sand dollar? Idk a lot of shit is odd but it becomes normal after being in this fandom for a while.
44. Metalest way a demigod has killed something?
C’mon you cannot say Metal and don’t think of Nico turning someone into a ghost.
48. Least favorite part of BOO?
The travel the people in the Argo II did, like I remember wanting to go to the Reyna and Nico’s part back already.
Thank's for asking Bro!

for ships: jasico, percabeth, jercy, and get ready for it nico/percy/will/jason
Tumblr media
Jasico: I like it well enough! i think it could definitely be interesting and I love jasico content whenever I see it! it's not super close to me but I'm certainly good with it.
percabeth: come on man, can't mess with a classic like that
jercy: ok I love it because they were the two that switched BUT it's just kind of. missing something. a little more interactions in the books maybe?
nico/will/percy/jason: ...to each their own? Percico just isn't my cup of tea and.. I don't think Will and Jason would get along too well. could definitely be comedic and nice? I'm not super opposed I guess?

happy ffwf!!!
is there a particular fic you remember reading that you can point to as a major inspiration for getting you into writing fics? If so! Feel free to link it and gush about it :)
Or if you're more of a writer than a reader, a headcanon/ prompt/ idea that inspired you to furst start writing fics.
UM. WHAT A GREAT QUESTION.
the truth is i started writing fic when i was about maybe 11 or 12? and. im 20 now. so. it’s been a while
and before writing fic, i was always writing stories with original characters for fun, so when i got into the internet and realized i could write about my favorite characters, i just did. i honestly don’t even remember for sure what my first ever fic was, but i’ll tentatively say the first i ever posted was a coffee shop au for nico di angelo from percy jackson and an original character. im like. 99.99% sure i never deleted it so if you knew where to look you could probably find it sndbdjk
so i mean, i guess you could say my earliest prompt inspiration was coffee shop aus! they’re just really formulaic and easy to jump into while still having the freedom to be super creative :”)
as for fics that inspired me, most of the fics i read at 11/12 are. definitely not ones i would necessarily recommend now ACTUALLY. i just remembered one. let me see if i can find it
Project Demigod - ohhhh my god. i actually logged into my old wattpad account to find this (and experienced a lot of guilt for my unfinished stories on there, my bad), but when i was younger i thought this was, like, the best fic i'd ever read. it's a percico au fic in which percy is a spy and nico is a prince, and i remember always being amazed at the author's dedication to precise times and places (there's a lot of travel, being on the run and all), and i remember there was this running repeated imagery of cold/teeth/mint with percy that i loved? i haven't read it in SO LONG and obviously never caught up with it, but i checked just now and it seems to be on a permanent (?) hiatus. pouring one out to bookworm210 i hope life's going well for you queen
so that was from my early days, but as for more recently, most of the people that follow me now know me for my miraculous ladybug fics. i will admit that right now im more of a writer than a reader, but when i was first starting to get into the ml fan space, the fics that inspired me most were:
Chasing the C/h/atwalk - this is an au where marinette enters the reality show project runway as a contestant and ends up having adrien as her model (!!!!!) if i remember correctly, they were older and hadn't had contact in a few years, and as the show goes on they both have to juggle being on a reality show, developing feelings, and having to sneak off to do superhero stuff. the story alternates between marinette (i think) in real time as she experiences what happens behind the scenes of the show and her friends and family watching episodes at home. all in all, it was such a creative fic and the DRAMA of it all. truly inspirational.
and
A witch's familiar - this fic diverges from canon mid season 1 because. it started while canon was still in season 1. so there's a lot of super interesting lore on the miraculous that is very different from canon. this fic as i remember it focuses a lot on gabriel and nathalie's relationship in the most interesting way possible, and it also discusses gabriel and adrien's relationship. this gabriel characterization 100% will stay with me for the rest of my life - i think this was the fic where i was introduced to the idea that gabriel clasps his hands behind his back so no one will see his fingers fidgeting. also: there was this running 'game' gabriel would play with nathalie where he would try and steal the bobby pins out of her neat buns throughout the day. i think about that. very often actually. i don't remember where i stopped reading, but it has 65 chapters now and was last updated in 2017. pour another one out for mirawohoo i hope she's still rockin it in her daily life
while none of these fics necessarily kickstarted me into writing fics, i still think of them as really influential to me. i wanted (and to be honest. still want) to be as precise and detailed with setting and timelines as project demigod, im always striving for the level of drama and character emotions as chasing the c/h/atwalk, and im always thinking about the character study and slowburning plot from a witch's familiar.
thank you so much for asking!!<3<3

7 and 6 for Percico maybe?(frim the fluff ask)
I tried to go for the jealous kiss too, but in the end this drabble didn't go quite the way I first envisioned it.😅
Welp, first time writing PJO stuff ( and first time writing in a long time ). Hope I didn't screw up.
Link to the ao3 version: https://archiveofourown.org/works/26531770
Prompt: 7. "Don't go on that date" "Why?" "Because it will kill me if you do"
Nico di Angelo had learned over the years to expect surprises from Percy Jackson. As difficult as it was for one to try their hand at guessing the improbable, when it came to Percy, it just added to his ridiculous charm. Some surprises had left him breathless and some had left him seething. 
This just left him confused.
"Why?" Nico found himself asking. 
Maybe "What are you talking about?", or, even better, "What date?" would have been more suitable reactions, but that thought was overshadowed by his mind running in too many directions for him to carry a decent dialogue.
Date Percy said...Did the other campers really think of them that way too? When Will had invited him to hang out at the lake, Nico hadn't given it much thought. It had become a bit of a habit for the two of them to spend time together like that, outside of their chores. Will was an ear eager to listen. And Nico? He was more than happy to fill in the same spot for his friend.
The rest of camp, however, was clearly interpreting the situation differently. His friend had jokingly mentioned at one point how they must have looked from the outside. Nico's past reputation as a cryptid preceded him, after all. He didn't let many people in. He had avoided camp...Percy...his feelings for the son of Poseidon...for so long, learning to fit in remained a work in progress.
Safe to say, Will was part of a limited group.
Realisation crept up on him and had Nico not been frozen in place from head to toe, he would have shaken his head. No wonder those Aphrodite kids had been giggling madly in the infirmary. 
As Will had asked him to meet at the lake, in between attending to his patients, they had kept shooting knowing glances at him and Will. Glances that, apparently, knew very little actually. 
They probably also spread the news of their "date" like wildfire, the rumour ball passing by Percy in the process.
Yet none of this explained Percy's reaction.
Thoughts still reeling, Nico simply stood there, stuck in place under Percy's burning stare. The other boy wasn't giving him much to work with. He was oddily quiet, his lips pursed. The silence in the Hades cabin was almost immaculate, its flow disturbed only by the trembling breathing they shared.
Eventually, Percy seemed to come out of the battle within himself. His green eyes spoke of resolution and if Nico couldn't break their held gaze before, well, the tension streching in the closed off space kept him firmly in this weird, unexpected moment.
"Because it will kill me if you do" Percy said, the words a distant echo for Nico, who felt more parts of himself freeze over. 
The son of Poseidon raised his arm. Ever so slowly, his fingertips inched towards Nico's cheek. His stance, his expression spelled out the question, better than any words could. It continued. The warmth of Percy's palm was hovering over his skin, but didn't quite reach it. 
This message was also clear, Nico was given an out. 
Should he want to, it would require minimal effort to simply take a step back, merge with the shadows, then fade away at once with this moment.
Should he want to 
He was on the edge of something straight out of the silly scenarios Nico had imagined way back in spite of his disdain for their cause. They broke him a little, admittedly. The one in front of him set his pulse in motion.
So, Nico leaned in. Leaned into the warmth of Percy's palm. Leaned into the look of shock and awe in Percy's eyes. Leaned right into the warmth of Percy's lips.
He would have to apologise to Will later, for being late to their hang out.

Baby Doll - A Percico Fanfic
Summary:
Nico is worried Percy is going to leave him. His boyfriend is more than willing to prove him wrong.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  "Nico, can I come in?"
  Percy asked as he knocked on the door of cabin 13. His boyfriend didn't say anything except Percy could have sworn he heard a tiny sniffle from behind the door.
  "Babe, are you okay? Can we talk?"
  He asked and knocked again.
  "D-Don't come in."
  Nico said in a quivering voice. That really set Percy's alarm bells off and he opened the door anyway. Thankfully, Nico wasn't hurt but he was curled up on the couch with one of the chunky blankets wrapped tightly around him. Percy quickly rushed over and kneeled down in front of the couch and worriedly brushed Nico's cheek. 
  "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
  He questioned, but it was clear Nico wasn't okay. His eyes were slightly red and it looked like he had been crying, and Percy immediately wondered if he had done something to upset him. 
  "You're not going to leave me...Right?"
  That really confused Percy.
  "Leave you? Nico, of course not. Where'd you get that idea from?"
  Percy moved from sitting on the ground to onto the couch to comfort his boyfriend better. He wrapped his arms around Nico but he didn't budge.
  "I know, and I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked you that."
  He said, his voice small and barely louder than a whisper. Percy kissed his hair and carefully caressed his small body. 
  "Well something made you ask that. Can you tell me what it is?"
  Nico started crying again and he hid his face in Percy's dress. 
  "I'm sorry, Percy. I'm really sorry..."
  He repeated which only made Percy more anxious. 
  "No, don't apologize. I just need you to tell me why you were so worried about me leaving you, okay?"
  He was answered with another little sniff. Percy waited for a couple more minutes until Nico's was ready to talk.
  "I don't want to sound selfish and this is probably going to sound really stupid, but...I guess I think a lot about how easy it was for Bianca to leave and join the Hunters. I just don't want the same thing to happen with you and me."
  Nico said quietly. 
  "Pretty sure I'm a dude, so technically I can't join the Hunters, but I see what you're saying, Neeks. I know it must have been hard for you to watch her go even though you guys were so close."
  Percy felt Nico nod against him. 
  "But that was four years ago, so why am I still bothered by it? I know Bianca isn't coming back, but I feel like it's easy for people to leave me. And I get it, I'm not the easiest person to be around sometimes, but nothing scares me more than losing you, Percy."
  He said nothing as he pulled Nico onto his lap and cradled him.
  "I'm not going anywhere, I promise. I know you're tired of promises, but I mean it. Please look at me, baby."
  Percy gently tilted Nico's face up by his chin and looked him in the eyes. 
  "I said I'm not going anywhere. I'm not leaving you."
  Nico breathed a soft sigh.
  "I know."
  "Good."
  He answered and pressed a kiss to Nico's pouty pink lips. Percy brushed the hair out of his face and the two sat in each other's company for some time. Everything was quite peaceful until Nico started shifting around in Percy's lap. He knew he wasn't doing it intentionally and that his boyfriend was simply trying to get comfortable, but he couldn't help but get turned on. Especially when Nico accidentally rubbed against Percy's crotch.
 "N-Nico..."
  Percy groaned quietly as Nico tried to stay still and looked up at his with big round eyes.
  "Sorry, did I do something?"
  Nico asked innocently. Percy knew he was being sincere, and that's why he said nothing and grabbed Nico's hips and pushed him down on his lap. There was no way the younger boy could miss the feeling of his erection, and that's probably why Nico blushed and put his hands on Percy's shoulders.
  "I didn't mean to. My bad, Percy."
  Nico looked away with his cheeks darkening. He couldn't deny that he was also feeling turned on as he could sense Percy's arousal. 
  "It's...Uh, fine, Nico."
  Percy said awkwardly. 
  "We could take care of it, if you like."
  Nico said as he squirmed again, this time on purpose.
  "What are you suggesting, kitten?"
  Percy easily felt himself slipping into his dominant role as he used Nico's submissive nickname. He noticed the effect it had on his boyfriend as he immediately directed his attention to Percy and bit his lower lip.
  "I-I don't know."
  He answered uncertainly. 
  "Oh, I think you do.:
  Percy growled as he quickly readjusted their positions with Nico pinned under him with his back flat against the couch. His heart sped up as Percy climbed on top of him and he felt his blood rush to his groin as he made eye contact with him.
  "I want you to fuck me, please?"
  Nico asked. 
  "'Please' what?"
  "Please, Daddy."
  He said. Nico started to slip into the right headspace as he allowed his dominant to handle his body in ways that only resulted in the hottest pleasures. 
  "Well, I suppose I could...Since you asked so nicely."
  Percy then proceeded to pick him up and carry him over to the bed, while kissing his neck the entire way. Nico sat on the bed with his legs dangling over the edge and Percy between them. Their lips met in a furiously passionate kiss as Percy started undressing him in a rushed manner. Nico was quickly left naked on the bed as Percy discarded his own clothes.
  "One moment, Doll."
  He shivered in delight at the nickname and watched as Percy went over to pick out a few things from their box full of sex toys, lube, and other stuff. He came back with Nico's favorite black collar, a large vibrator, and some lube. Nico's cock grew harder at the sight as he anticipated what was to come. He moaned as Percy's hands returned to his body and continued touching him further and further down until his hand slipped in between Nico's legs and thumbed his opening. Percy paused to grab the lube and poured a generous amount on his fingers and on Nico's pink hole.
  "You remember your safeword?"
  "Yes, Daddy."
  "Good boy."
  Percy kissed him again as he inserted a couple fingers at a time, knowing Nico could handle it. Nico whimpered and wiggled in Percy's tight grasp as he continuously rubbed his prostate. 
 "Patience."
  He chuckled as he removed his fingers and reached for the vibrator and remote that went along with it.
  "Daddy..."
  Nico whined and Percy shushed him with a kiss. He climbed onto the bed facing Nico while stroking his growing cock. Nico licked his lips as his eyes went from looking up at Percy and down to his dick. Just as he was about to reach for the big cock in front of him, Percy grabbed his wrist.
  "Turn around and get on your knees."
  He said lowly next to his ear. Nico shivered again as he got into position and presented his gorgeous ass to his boyfriend. Percy had to make one hell of an effort not to come as soon as he ran his rough palm over Nico's soft flesh. He took Nico's collar which had been laying unclipped on the bed next to him and he placed it around Nico's beautifully slender neck.
  "Is it too tight, baby?"
  "No, Daddy."
  Nico said and Percy smiled when the little bell charm on the collar jingled as the smaller boy spoke. Percy then took the vibrator and coated it in lube before pressing it against Nico's tight hole. He slowly began pushing it in until it was fully inside him and Percy leaned down to kiss his cheek.
  "Still okay?"
  Nico nodded and Percy took his place in front of him. Nico purred as Percy's thumb lightly grazed over his lips and he made a small sound of surprise when Percy took his cock and tapped it against Nico's lips. He moaned around his Daddy's length as he continued pushing his cock in further into his mouth. While Nico was busy getting settled on sucking his dick, Percy grabbed the remote to the vibrator and turned it on to the first setting. Nico choked on him a little as soon as the toy started moving inside him. The blowjob carried on for a couple more minutes and Percy turned up the setting on the vibrator in divided time intervals. Although Nico desperately wanted to jerk himself off, he knew that if he did, Percy would most likely not have him come for the next couple of weeks. Seeing how close his submissive was, Percy stopped thrusting into his mouth and gentle tugged on Nico's hair to let him know to stop.
  "On your back, love."
  He instructed and Nico did as he was told. Percy turned the toy off before removing it and then got settled in between Nico's legs. 
  "Daddy..."
  Nico moaned as Percy swiftly shoved his cock inside him. Before he started moving right away, Percy took the time to pepper small kisses across Nico's beautiful face and on his chest. 
  "Don't make me wait."
  He said with an adorable pouty expression.
  "I'll take as long as I want, Darling. But I want to make something clear to you."
  Nico looked like he was about to protest but Percy's serious tone warned him otherwise. The older demigod sucked on Nico's throat, trying to leave a dark mark.
  "You're mine. This right here,"
  Percy vaguely nodded to the blooming hickey on Nico's neck.
  "-Is a message. I know that things were somewhat resolved earlier, but you need to understand that I'm staying with you as long as you want me."
  Nico didn't have a lot of time to respond to that before Percy pulled out and slammed back into him with an unmatchable force. He whimpered loudly as Percy started fucking him properly and his nails dragged across his muscular back.
  "Mine. All mine, Doll."
  Percy made his point even clearer by sinking his teeth into the same area where he had left the previous love bite. Nico trembled as Percy continued ramming into his sweet spot and only went harder by the minute.
  "Don't ever forget that."
  He growled and Nico wished he could express his understanding, but was having immense difficulty with Percy's big cock thrusting into him over and over again.
  "Y-Yes, Daddy."
  He managed to gasp out before his cum spilled onto his tummy, but Percy was far from finished. He kept thrusting inside Nico's overstimulated body until the boy was crying. His tears were not from sorrow nor sadness, but from extreme pleasure with every hard thrust from his boyfriend's hips.
  "H-Hurts."
  Nico whined pitifully as Percy's strong hands kept him firmly in place as his cock relentlessly pounded him. 
  "I know, baby. I know it hurts, and I want you to feel how bad it hurts. I want you to know how much I fucking love you and that I'm not going anywhere. Not now, not tomorrow, not ever."
  That statement made Nico come a second time. Although not as much semen came out of his barely hard cock, he still manage to orgasm. His attention was brought back to the present as Percy roughly grabbed his face and kissed him hard. Tears streamed down his face as Percy's thrusts shook the bed and had the bed frame slamming against the wall. Neither of them cared enough to do anything about it, and once their lips disconnected, Nico threw his arms around Percy's neck.
  "I love you, Daddy. Gods, I love you."
  He said and blushed as Percy filled him up with his cum. 
  "I love you, too."
  Percy answered and gently pulled out of him. He kissed Nico's nose and got off the bed.
  "I'll be right back, I'm just going to get you some water. Is that alright?"
  Nico agreed sleepily but motioned for Percy to stay with him a little longer. He happily obeyed and carefully took Nico into his arms and trace little circles on his pale skin. He sighed softly as Percy whispered soothing and loving things in his ear and kept touching him in the places he may have bruised or hurt.
  "Some water would be nice, actually."
  Nico said as his eyes threatened to fall closed.
  "Of course, baby."
  Percy quickly got up again and poured some water and came back with it for his boyfriend. He cautiously raised it to Nico's lips and helped him drink it until he said it was enough. Percy got a bath going as soon as possible and picked up and carried Nico to the bathroom with a towel and some cozy clothes ready to go afterwards. Once the water was ready, he helped Nico get in the tub and followed soon after. Percy washed both of them and washed his and Nico's hair. The two boys were sitting facing each other with Nico's legs slightly parted. One of Percy's hands was stroking his cheek while the other slid down to gently touch Nico's used hole. He yelped quietly as Percy rubbed his entrance.
  "Beautiful."
  He murmured as he kept touching him and Nico looked up at him with nothing but sheer adoration in his brown eyes. 
 "How are you feeling?"
  Percy asked and let his hand fall away from his opening. 
  "Perfect."
  Nico breathed and pulled Percy closer to kiss him.
  The
     End.
