Nico is going to be smote by Hades.
As he trudges through the muddy lake water, seething, he weighs each elaborated murder he has planned for each member of Cabin Eleven against how harshly Hermes will punish him for it. Connor will be flayed alive. Travis will be cooked over an open flame. Julia will be strapped to a rocket and blasted into the sun. Alice will face death by a thousand paper cuts.
And Cecil.
Fucking Cecil.
Cecil Markowitz will face a death so tortuous and harrowing that the constraints of the crime cannot be adequately covered in any mortal tongue. Crucified is too light a term. Nico is going to kill him in a way that is unspeakable — to hell with Hermes and his wrath. Nico is going to smite his dumbass children himself, and it will be worth it.
His boyfriend waits for him, lips pressed together and eyes trained to the sky, on the dock, holding several towels.
“Say nothing,” Nico hisses, slamming his sword on the wood and dragging himself up after it.
“Wasn’t going to,” Will lies. He immediately begins to cough, face turning slightly red. “Well, if I were to say anything —”
“William,” Nico warns.
“I just mean to say,” he soldiers on, setting all but one of the towels down, “that you look —”
He cuts himself off with a quickly smothered giggle.
“I swear to all that is fucking holy, Son of Phoebus.”
He lets Will maneuver him about, towel turning almost black with all the mud it’s absorbing off Nico’s clothes. He has to move on to another towel once he’s finished just Nico’s arm, dripping the soaked towel with a wet plop.
“It’s not that bad.”
Nico stares at him, deadpan. In fact he has to swipe pond scum out of his eyes and hair to glare properly.
“I am the fucking Creature of the Black Lagoon, Solace.”
Will bites his lip, hard. A burst of laughter escapes anyway, heedless of his desperate attempt to smother it, and the worst part is that it’s gorgeous and it makes his eyes light up and his stupid face looks stupid divine, when he’s giggly about something, and it makes Nico want to crush him a little. In the facial region, with his own face.
Except his own face is covered in stinky lake mud.
And Will is laughing.
Hard.
“I mean,” he manages around giggles, holding up a new towel to dab at Nico’s face, “it brings out your eyes, honestly.”
Nico closes his eyes. He lets that sit for a moment. He exhales for ten solid seconds.
“William Andrew.”
“It does! I mean, it’s really the perfect shade —”
“Romance is actually, genuinely dead.”
“— makes them look very deep, actually —”
“I should’ve listened to Demeter and married a doctor.”
“— and lake mud has so many uses! Most of the microbes on you are excellent for the skin. Who wouldn’t want to be compared to lake mud?”
“Oh wait! That is useless advice.”
“And you didn’t even pick up any leeches! Just all this dark, beautiful lake mud, as brown and beautiful as your eyes —”
“I’m returning you to whatever lab you were created in. Obviously you’re defective and I want a new model.”
“— in fact I’ll write a haiku about it.” He clears his throat. “My boyfriend is so hot —”
“Enough,” Nico interrupts, slapping his semi-clean hand over Will’s motormouth before things get any worse. Unfortunately the mud still caked into the lines of his skin contrasts beautifully with Will’s sparkling eyes, making them even bluer somehow. That’s a felony. “Also, that’s six syllables, dumbass.”
“I’ll revise,” he shoots back, muffled.
“If you promise not to, I’ll move my hand.”
Will presses a kiss to his palm because he’s a sappy loser who knows exactly what he does for Nico’s heart problems, based on the wiggle of his stupid perfect eyebrows.
“Deal.”
Nico removes his hand slowly. He lifts it back up when Will opens his mouth, threatening, but luckily he changes course before Nico has to make good on the threat, leaning down to kiss Nico softly, properly.
“I’m crucifying your best friend,” he mumbles against his lips. “That is step one of a ten step torture process.”
“‘Kay.”
“His siblings, too.”
“Sounds good.”
“Hermes might grind me to dust, after.”
“Trying really, really hard to focus on something right now, babe.”
“Right,” Nico breathes. There is still mud drying onto him and it is the Worst, actually, and he still has several homicides to play out, but.
But.
He can spend a little time kissing his boyfriend first.
(As long as that will keep him from spouting any more damn haikus.)

And there you were, on your way to meet up with your boyfriend. Yes, boyfriend. Percy Jackson was now your boyfriend. When you told your beloved friends Silena and Annabeth, they weren't as shocked about it as you thought they would be.
"Finally."
"It's not like we weren't expecting it."
Maybe at least pretend. Let's all hold hands in a circle and jump up and down and chant of happiness. Okay maybe that's too much, you had just thought that after all the screaming at you to get it together, they'd have more of a reaction for when you finally got it together. Whatever, moving on. Finally you made it to Percy's, aw he left the door open this time. Now what if you just scared him a little.
You slowly walked through the door to be sure not to make any noise. After you did that you tip-toed your way to his room and ran through the door, the loud sound of it combined with your screaming scared the shit out of him.
He threw his phone in the air and sat there like the soul left his body. "Did I scare you?"
"I think I saw the stars" you started laughing at Percy as you walked toward him. "No like never do that again please."
"Hey," you sat on your legs in front of him on his bed. "No promises" you smiled as you leaned forward and kissed him, which he happily did back. You pushed back into him, laying down on top of him. After a few minutes your phone started ringing from your back pocket. You went to reach for it when Percy grabbed your hand.
"Come on just ignore it" and went back to kissing you. You ignored the phone till it stopped ringing. You went and continued on with what you were previously doing, at least that's what you wanted to do. Right after it stopped ringing it started again. You leaned up from Percy and let out an exasperated and dramatic sigh as you got up and answered the phone.
"Hello" you said harshly.
"Sorry to interrupted you" Nico said. "Jeez."
"Nico did you need something" you said trying to get him to talk quickly.
"Did you forget what day it is" Nico asked.
"Enough with your little riddles what is it?" SPIT IT OUT.
"Its parents day" Nico stated.
"So what, our moms are dead, who cares." Percy almost laughed at your bluntness but he didn't know if it was the time for that.
"Not those parents, godly parents. Dads here." You almost dropped the phone out your hand when he said that.
"Dads there" you asked, voice sounding a little high-pitched.
"Yup, so you might wanna hurry up. Bye." Shit. See the thing is, you weren't necessarily scared of your dad. Maybe a little, he has anger issues. Despite him being Hades, him being your father made him less scary, but you guys still weren't the closest. The only problem is Percy, your boyfriend, and guy you are currently sitting on. He has a hatred for Percy one would not understand and you don't want to know how he would react to him now dating his daughter.
"My dad's here" you said once more. You looked down at Percy who looked a little nervous. "Why are you suddenly nervous about Hades' presence?"
"Because he hates me and I'm sleeping with his daughter."
"Haha. Well, I gotta run, literally. Bye" you said as you quickly pecked him and ran back to your dorms. Not even noticing Poseidon chillin the couch relaxing, and knowing of your presence. It only took 6 minutes to make it back home, that may have been record time. You summed through the door and opened it to see your dad and Nico sitting on opposite sides of each other in the living room.
Nico and your father never had the greatest relationship and it really showed. Ever since his his real sister Bianca died, their relationship was strained. You wondered if she never passed, would your father had liked him more? All you knew was that it was better for everyone if you were around, less awkward. Kind of.
"Hey guys" you said as you slide in the seat next to Nico. He looked kind of nervous, expected when your sitting in front of the god of death, even if he is your father.
"Hello Y/N, me and Nico were just.. talking." It was silent when you walked in.
"Really? About what?" You played into it. You turned and saw Nico suppressing a small smile.
"you know, the usual" Nico said. Code for nothing by the way. You wanted to laugh a little but you didn't let that show.
"I didn't realize my kids were little jokesters" Hades said seriously. "Y/N, did you forget the date today?"
"Um, no" you lied.
"Then why is it you weren't here. What was more important that seeing your father? Hmm?" Your father questioned you. It felt like he knew, but its not like you or anyone you know would've told him. They know his feelings about Percy. And there's actually no way Hades uses instagram. As you were in thought, you may or may not have been quiet a little too long.
"Did you know Aphrodite hasn't shut up about this little love show of hers? Do you know how it felt to find out she was speaking of my daughter and Percy Jackson of all people? And the pictures online on that weird app she showed me? Despicable." Your father rambled while shaking his head. You turned to Nico in shock while you watch him try not to laugh at your possible despair.
"Um, surprise? I guess.." you said unenthusiastically and nervous.
"I'd kill that boy, but it'd be a whole thing with my brother. I'm not in the mood for that family drama." Hades rolled his eyes while speaking. "You have a rather ill choice with men in my opinion. You must hope I don't have a run-in with that boy. And lastly, if he even dares step foot in my realm once more, just remember I don't care if he's your.. boyfriend." He didn't elaborate on what would happen if Percy stepped foot in the underworld again, he didn't need to say another word for you to get the picture of what would happen to him. You were sure he didn't even want to go back in the first place. Unless maybe his mom got kidnapped again, but you know, fat chance.
"Yeah.. gotcha." You said simply. That actually went easier than you thought it would.
"Always, nice to see you both, but I must head out" Hades said as he stood up from his seat.
"Bye dad" you and Nico said at the same time. You both sat in silence as you watched your father walk out the room and disappear back to the underworld. You let out a sigh as you lifted your feet on the couch and leaned over on Nico's shoulder. He leaned his head on yours.
"Next time I'll remember the date and not leave you too alone again, I know its awkward" you said.
"At least he was just focused on you" Nico sighed.
"Yeah, blame Aphrodite for that I guess." You sat up. "And why didn't you get grilled about Will" you said jokingly annoyed.
"Well for starters, maybe because Will isn't like, his mortal enemy." Oh okay.
"Alright bro, no need to get snappy with me."
"Sorry Y/N, just stating facts here" Nico shrugged. "Anyways I was in fact planning to hangout with Will so.." Aww, wait..
"Are you kicking me out again?"
"Sorry, he has to many siblings" Nico said.
"Whatever, I was gonna head back to hang out with Percy anyways" you said as you got up headed it out. Nico shouted a bye from the couch and you shouted it back as you shut the door and made your way to Percy's.
Finally your back. You are currently standing at the door pounding on it like there's no tomorrow. Fifteen seconds later Percy opened the door looking at you wide-eyed.
"How'd it go with your dad" he asked quickly making you laugh. He moved to the side letting you in.
"Oh it went fine, just make sure to stay out of his way and the underworld or, you know" you said knowing you didn't need to continue speaking.
"Sounds just like my brother" you stopped in your tracks. Poseidon, Percy's dad, is currently sitting on the couch.
"Oh, um... hello." You said. Percy chuckled at your awkwardness.
"Don't worry, just cause your dad would like to blast me to bits doesn't mean my dad feels the same about you." you rolled your eyes as Percy said this. Poseidon just laughed at the two.
"I would've said hello to you earlier but you were running out quite fast" what was he.. oh.
"Oh, you were here?" You were just thinking about what if Nico never called you getting to to go home. Now THAT would've been more awkward than having a conversation with your own dad. And for the record, its very awkward.
"Yes I was. Aphrodite would've had a field day" Poseidon joked. You and Percy got a little warm in the face. "Anyways I must be off now, things to do and kingdoms to run, you know how it is." Poseidon walked up to Percy to hug him, he pulled away and ruffled his hair before walking out the door.
"I wish Hades was friendlier like Poseidon."
"Me too."
"Wanna have a movie night" you asked.
"Oh my gods let's go. I'll go make popcorn" Percy said excitedly.
"We're having a Harry Potter movie marathon" you stated as you went to get the first movie ready.
"Yo low-key I could take him in a fight. He's not all that." Percy said as the microwaved beeped letting us know that the popcorn finished.
"That's really interesting Percy"
"You know I could why are you the way you are" Percy was sitting down next to you on the couch, moving close under the blanket.
"You mean why am I so amazing and cool and sexy and hot" you joked.
"I think we should just click play"
You guys stopped paying attention after the first movie.

[10:35] AM
When you woke up you were now alone on the couch. You sat up and looked around for Percy when you smelled waffles. The delicious smell gravitated you toward the kitchen.
"Good morning" you greeted Percy. You walked over behind him while he stood at the stove as you wrapped your arms around his waist.
"Good morning sleepyhead" Percy said. You kissed him on his back and jumped on the counter next to the stove.
"What a gentleman, cooking me breakfast." He looked at you confused, making you confused. "What?"
"What makes you think this is for you, I was the hungry one who took initiative" he looked at you like it was obvious.
"You're saying" you swung your arms around "all of this food is for you? You dam near big as hell you know that?"
"Oh I've heard" he winked. You just looked up at the ceiling and sighed, wondering how you got yourself here. "I'm just messing with you, obviously this is for the both of us."
"Thank gods, I was so hungry I wasn't even going to mention the blue waffles." you said as you just picked one up and stuffed it in your mouth.
"Okay, last time I checked we weren't barbarians. Grab a plate" Percy said.
"Ugh what are you my dad" you joked.
"Erm no. I think your dad would actually start a war if he heard you were comparing us" you both just started laughing. After you composed yourself you went and grabbed a plate for your waffle, you proceeded to drown it in syrup, earning a glare from Percy.
"Hey Y/N, don't freak out when I say this but I think there's a waffle hiding in your syrup."
"Oh my god thanks for telling me, I had no idea" you said sarcastically. "Gods forbid I eat the way I like."
"Your allowed to do what you want as long as its not.. never mind. I just forget your so.. special" he paused before he said special, clearly not calling you special the way you would've like. These men.
"Sorry you don't enjoy cuisine the way I do" You rolled eyes as Percy finished getting food and you both sat at the kitchen island to eat. The waffles were really good and didn't need all that syrup by the way. You just liked bothering Percy. You also just liked Percy himself but you didn't need to inflate his ego more (ur dating its okay to say you like him).

I was watching criminal minds and there's this one scene where Emily, JJ and Penelope are all hungover. Then my mind went to your mob! au and the girls all being hungover or drunk as hell and the boyfriends and brother having handful with them.
CRIMINAL MINDS MY BELOVED!!!!
the way they’d all be such various levels of dramatic😭candy is definitely up there for being the most high maintenance and it’s something both johnny and timo have accepted
but then I feel like jack would probably be the one hungover and needy. but doc is hungover and moody and jack keeps whining that she won’t cuddle with him
star is just fully nuzzled into luke’s side, hidden under his jacket to try and block out the sun and he does his best to try help but he’s a wee shit and also kinda laughs at the way she complains when she was also the one being like, “one more shot never killed anyone!”
and then you have rogue and nico😭I genuinely think from the outside, you wouldn’t be able to tell she’s badly hungover but nico knows better. she’s so snappy and short with everyone until he hands her coffee. and even then, it takes a solid half an hour or so before she thanks him for it and he’s just trying to hold jack his laugh because he finds the whole thing hilarious and endearing

Brocedes-coded songs (pt. 1)
Deep into the Brocedes brainrot rabbithole, I have compiled some songs which  reflect the nuance of their relationship. Am I doing this because I just finished school and find myself with nothing better to do? Absolutely. 
Just to clarify, this is merely fictional conjecture and does not reflect the legitimate state of Brocedes’ relationship (tldr: this is a shitpost). 
#1- John My Beloved (Sufjan Stevens) 
Starting off on a semi-obscure note and the connections here might be a *bit* of a stretch, but some of the lyrical parallels are golden (or should I say, silver). 
Aside from the line
Tumblr media
appearing approximately 10 seconds into the song, a clear indication that the lyrics would be from Lewis’ perspective, we get into some of the more impactful leitmotifs, including: 
Tumblr media
OUCH. I read this as the feigned niceties which were necessary despite the behind-the-scenes Merc infighting starting in approximately 2014 when things started heating up. Winning the championship is a task of individuality, and would inherently ostricize Nico from Lewis when the duo would start intensely competing for it. 
Then we repeat the same leitmotif with slightly different lyrics, arguably the strongest comparison with Brocedes. 
Tumblr media
These lines reveal a bit of a double entendre. Prior to the separation, the two attempted to hang on to their fractured relationship. "Can we be friends?" refers to the longing to maintain a relationship. It now more closely correlates with Nico's desire to rekindle a friendship with Lewis now that he has retired. Lewis has not returned the sentiment due to the elements of betreyal which riddled their 2016 season, revealing the one-sided pining. 
ALSO THE LAST TWO LINES AHHH- The media is notorious for misconstruing representation of relationships. Formula 1 is known for enhancing the dramatic nature of rivalries. It could be true that Lewis and Nico still share an extremely close bond, yet the media as well as the fans (more prominently) refuse to acknowledge this in favor of the heated drama. "The world" cannot comprehend the true bond that the two share, instead opting to assume that they are no longer close.
Tumblr media
THIS. LINE. This is by far the closest connection to the duo. The plea to contend peacefully, as opposed to the heated exchanges of the past is a sentiment shared by both. All they wanted to do was fulfill a childhood dream together and they were ultimately left with a tattered relationship. "Before our history ends" is a reference to the lasting legacy that the duo will leave as rivals and individual drivers. It reveals a finality to their association and a cessation of the non-speaking terms on which they now stand.

As much as i love a happy Nico, I also enjoy him going rampage and downright releasing all his sufferings and bitterness towards those who has wronged him.
I want to see him walk out from a wall of thick blackness with all the regality and pride, tendrils of shadows clinging to his hair like a dark halo and swallowing up the light to clear the way for their master.
I want to see him flick a wrist and a wave of blackness come sweeping away whoever was suffocating him. See him thump his heels, once, and the fissures brand out like crooked fingers, dragging the monsters into eternal slumber. See him lift his chin as a sign of domination and look at a vengeful ghost, “I’m your King, and you will not defy me”.
Also low-key want to see him spread a hand, palm down to face the ground and say, “Heed my call” as to summon the skeletons. like, so dramatic.
I want to see him raise his head, sword up, pointing straight at Cupid as the ground shook along with the silhouettes of the wings flickering on his back. A fierce declaration that he’s not afraid of the god’s game, nor would he be afraid to love. Because love isn’t anyone’s game and he would make sure of that.
I want to see him standing straight next to his father in front of a fuming Zeus, eyes so cold that the flashing lightning can’t get even a spark out of them. Erebus’ blessing throws the sky in nightfall and the earth rumbles under his feet, spitting out an army of undeads who kneel before him and turn their swords towards the king of the gods. And Hades would watch in a silent proudness while Nico sends the mighty god plummeting in eternal darkness for killing the beloved woman of their lives. For Maria.

Nico x f!reader. F!reader x omc. F!reader x Nico x omc. F!reader x ofc.
Nico Masterlist
Warnings. SMUT! A bit of everything. F!receiving fingering. MMF threesome, nothing too graphic. Depictions of swingers party. F/F oral sex. P in V sex. Dirty talk. Swearing. Alcohol consumption. Adultery. Angst.
Summary: Your personal decision has ramifications in your arrangement with Nico.
Yearning
WC:4.2k
"I'm getting a divorce." You had no idea why you just blurted that out to Angelo one day as you were laying by the pool. Nico was out for the afternoon so the two of you had decided to lounge in the sun.
"Oh? I know things aren't great in the bedroom but I didn't realise you were that unhappy with your husband. I mean you don't talk about him but that would be pretty poor form to talk about your husband with the men you are fucking." Angelo causally sipped his drink as he spoke. His words heated your cheeks. "Are you able to divorce him? What would you do for money? Sorry, that's a rude thing to ask. I just...I want to be ok."
It was a good question. One that you had looked into. At the moment you did just fine. You lived off your father's business. Your husband only took his sales job because he was too proud to live off you. It was sad really, he gave up his dreams to earn more money, instead of letting you support him. The thing was that if you divorced you would certainly be cut out of the family business. They wouldn't stand for you bringing shame upon them. The modest savings account would allow you to finish your studies but passed that, it wasn't going to be easy.
"I'll find a way. It's better than living a lie." You muttered.
"Sweetie, that's noble but everyone lives lies to a certain extent. Do you think all your neighbours who fuck each other tell their people at their jobs what they do at the weekend? Do you think I tell my patients about Nico? It's not exactly lying more like...compartmentalising."
He waved his hand dismissively.
"That's different some things aren’t appropriate to share. I lie to my husband about you, about my feelings for him."
You spoke to your chest, even when Angelo turned to you.
"Not to poke a sore spot but how do you think he feels for you?"
Thinking about it you tried to answer honestly.
"I think he loves me like I love him. There's a fondness there, a familiarity. He's like a beloved friend.."
Angelo held a hand over his heart dramatically. "Ouch! So why are you still together?"
You sighed."I don't know. It's just what you do where we are from. You marry for better or worse. It's not like things are so bad. We enjoy each other's company. We enjoy...other things together."
Angelo lowered his sunglasses. "Hmm. How are other things with him?"
You still didn't look towards him. "Fine."
"Fine?" He chuckled softly before slipping off of his lounger before crawling along the floor to the bottom of your lounger. The lith muscles of back rippled as he crawled with a cat like grace. Reaching the bottom of your lounger he locked eyes with you. His warm hands clasped your ankles to uncross them. Moving between your legs he inched his way upward. His breath teased your skin as he moved higher and higher until it ghosted over your bikini bottoms. He hover there for a moment, staring at you as your breath hitched, your hips shifted towards him as his hands came to rest on your waist. Keeping his head low he continued his trail up your body so close yet not touching. Every inch of your skin he passed came to life underneath him. The flesh tingled in his wake. By the time his lips hovered over yours, your breath came out in trembling pants. Your bikini bottoms were now stuck to you uncomfortably with the slick gathering between your legs. His lips brushed yours lightly, moving away as you moaned.
"Fine. Huh?" Angelo chuckled before climbing off of you.
Trying to compose yourself, you responsed. "Sex isn't just about...all of that. There's an emotional side to it. That side is just fine." You were glad Angelo couldn't see through you as well as Nico could.
"Well, good for you. I just think you should get....all of that, too." He dropped back down on his lounger.
"All of what?" Nico enquired as he stepped into the yard.
Angelo tilted his head up and Nico pressed a kiss to his lips in passing. "I was just preparing to make good on my teasing. I got her all worked up."
"So you need to cool down?" Before you could answer Nico scoped you up in his strong arms and prompt jumped into the pool with you. He pushed off once his feet hit the bottom, taking you back to the surface.
"Nico!" You squealed as you breached the surface. Shaking the water from you face with a grin.
"Or is there something else you need?" He muttered against your neck as he crowded you into the side of the pool. Even soaked and dishevelled he still looked handsome in his grey slacks and black button down. The top few buttons were undone so the water dripped down the sliver of exposed chest. Following your eyes he opened the remaining buttons before shrugging the shirt off, letting it float away. His body returned to yours, skin to skin, as he reached down to feel your arousal.
"Angelo! Such a tease!" He called over your shoulder.
"Let me give you what you need." He whispered in your ear sending a shiver through you that had nothing to do with the cool water he had plunged you into. He wasted no time in making you come by lavishing your clit with his attention. His lips sealed around yours to capture the sound of your climax. Pulling back he rested his cheek against yours almost tenderly.
"Would you like another?" A nod was all you could give him.
He carried on expertly working his fingers over your swollen bundle of nerves. He pulled another orgasm from you then another. Each time he muffled your sounds with his lips. When he wasn't hushing you with them, they dotted kisses over your neck and shoulders. He held you to him so gently, his hand wrapped around your waist to keep you in place. If he wasn't performing a sexual act on you the pose would have passed for cuddling. This level of tenderness was something you expected from Angelo, not Nico. After he withdrew his hands from your underwear. He cupped your face gently before kissing you deeply. The intimacy of it shocked you. It appeared to shock Nico as well. The two of you stared at each other for a moment. No words came to your mind, Nico offered none of his own.
"What does a girl need to do to get some attention over here?" Angelo mock pouted.
Just like that, the heaviness of the moment between you and Nico dissipated. Everything became as light as the summer breeze rolling through the yard again.
Nico slapped Angelo's ass as he rounded you both up and ushered you into the shower. The three of you made out, giggling at the confusion of trying to take turns and keep everyone included. Your hands overlapped as you brought each other pleasure. Some times working in tandem. Others playfully vying for dominance. Once you were dressed in the plush bathrobes Angelo kept around for you all, Nico headed to the fridge to make dinner. Finding it empty, Angelo offered to go pick up some take out. Leaving you and Nico to deal with the slightly charged air between you.
"So what were you two talking about earlier. I feel like I walked into something." He asked before sipping his glass of red wine.
"I was telling him that I want to divorce my husband." You spoke more to your glass than to him.
"Oh? Not because of us, I assume?" He tried not to meet your eyes. You wondered if he wanted to use the word 'hope' instead of 'assume'. You knew there was nothing here for you to leave your husband for, Nico had made that clear.
"No. Well, a little. I don't want to keep pretending my marriage is fine when it's not."
"I thought we were making up for the things your marriage lacks."
"You are, for the most part. I just..." That wasn't a wise thought to finish. You hoped to just let it float away on the night air.
"Just what?" Nico had set down his glass and come to stand in front of you. Those eyes holding yours. This man had seen things in you that you'd never seen in yourself. Maybe he already knew what you were going to say before you did.
"I want to be in love again." You told him keeping your voice as neutral as possible.
At your words he turned his back on you to retrieve his glass. "I know." His acknowledgement hit you square in the chest. He knew. He always knew. Before downing the rest of his drink in one go he uttered "I don't know why though. Love is overrated."
It had been three weeks since that moment in the kitchen. Angelo had come in a seconds later yet the moment felt like an eternity. You had grown fond of Nico, hearing him talk like that, it bothered you. He'd opened your world up in a way that you saw other ways of living but for someone to be so cold about love? Someone you cared for? That didn't sit right with you. You wanted to know why Nico felt that way. He had shown you so much support, you felt the need to show it back. However, Nico had made it clear that there was no intimacy between you. No feelings involved. The whole thing rattled around and around your head for weeks. There was no way you could spend time with Nico. The two of you exchanged greetings across the street. Neither one of you pushing for more.
It was Angelo that eventually came to your door. Inviting you to a party that night. "Nico thought you might like it. It's a swingers party. Wear something that's easy to remove." He told you before crossing back over to Nico's. Nico himself sat on the front porch. He gave you a nod when you looked his way, before following Angelo back into the house.
That evening Nico drove you out towards the city, you were vaguely familiar with the area. There was a park, that backed onto a reasonable sized hotel. It used to be a mansion before it's owner was arrested for his ill gotten gains. It was lavish and beautiful, it made you wonder even more about what to expect at this party.
Angelo rode in the back with you. His hand on you knee providing a steadying warmth. In contrast to the chill you were getting from Nico, who had barely spoke the entire time. Once you were welcomed into the party, Angelo slipped away. Not without a pointed look at Nico. Nico's hand came to rest on your lower back as you took the party in.
The guests varied in gender, age, race, there was a middle aged woman in a wheelchair and a handsome man wearing dark glasses and making his way around with a cane. Their tastes seemed as varied as they looked. There were men together, woman together, some with both, some dressed in tight leather, some had evening wear on, some wore nothing at all. Suddenly feeling like you were gawking, you withdrew into Nico's arms. The awkwardness between you simple vanished. He tucked you into his side while he strolled to the bar. He ordered you a drink while you took a moment. The drink burned pleasantly as you slipped it.
"Better?" Nico asked.
"Better." You confirmed.
He smiled thoughtfully and the two of you drank in silence. His knee pressed against yours. The air between you cleared. His quiet reassure was with you once more as you glanced around now and then.
"Listen, about what I said the other..." Nico began only to be cut off by Angelo.
"This is my friend Ruby. She was asking about you." Since you were busy sipping your drink in preparation for what Nico was going to say, it took you longer than it should to realise Angelo was talking to you.
"Oh." You looked at the woman next to him. She was beautiful, a little younger than you, her dark blonde hair was swept back off her face and flowed over her bare shoulders. She gave you a warm smile.
Angelo, without the lease hint of subtlety, urgently needed to speak to Nico in private. He dragged him away, snagging his drink for his own on the way.
"So shall we gloss over the small talk. I'm here for the same thing as everyone else here, enjoyment, escape. I'm in a sham marriage with an iron clad prenup. I can't leave without giving up my claim on the fortune I helped him build. He can't leave without his father contesting his fortune as it was build with money from dear old dad. His father wants him to stay married to a woman. He thinks it will make him straight." She whispered the last part, tossing her hair over her shoulder to look at her husband with a half naked man practically dry humping each thigh. Stiffling a giggle, you took a sip of your way too strong fruity cocktail.
"What about you? Sham marriage? Swinger? BDSM? What's your thing?"
After making a mental note to ask Nico what BDSM was you told her about your husband, your encounter with Nico at a swingers party and how he was helping to 'broaden your horizons'. Her green eyes narrowed at the quote. Her red lips split into a wide smile.
"Do you wanna dance?" The latest sip of your drink hit you as you giddily accepted. As first they two of you danced next to each other. Occasionally bumping into each other. Her hand would reach out to pull you back if you strayed too far after an over ambitious twirl. A few songs later her hand lingered on your hip. By the end of the next one her body was pressed into yours. The temporary buzz of the small amount of alcohol well worn off, the only buzz in your veins was arousal. The dance floor had filled while you had danced. Angelo was dancing to the left of you with a man that was almost his exact opposite. Where Angelo was dark this man was fair. He was very tall, slim but muscular. His skin was pale. His eyes a cool blue. His hair, blonde and straight. They couldn't look much more opposite, yet they seemed pretty compatible as the man captured Angelo's lips in a kiss. Your thoughts jumped to Nico. Scanning the place, you found him at the bar. As if he was waiting for you, he raised his glass, before nodding his head to Ruby. She'd been lost to your attention for a while but she was still close, still touching, still...your heart skipped a beat as her soft lips touched yours. Her kiss was so gentle it made you feel like you were worthy of being treated with such delicacy. It was a feeling you hadn't had in such a long time. Needs and feelings that you had pushed deep inside bubbled up to the surface. Before you could think too deeply about it, a gong sounded.
Your host, a beautifully coiffed person, in a stunning purple ball gown, stood at the top of the stairs. "Midnight! Time to get going before that magic wears off. You little Pumpkins that are leaving need to roll on home. Any Royals wishing to find a suitor, you head on up to one of the rooms upstairs." They left with an dramatic swirl of their gown.
The dance floor started to clear. Watching people leave was fascinating. Angelo and his blonde companion were ascending the stairs led by a beautiful Asian woman. Ruby's husband had taken his two friends from earlier AND another man with him. Some people just paired off, others left with groups. One particular group consisted of eleven people. You weren't sure how that was going to work out. Nico's chest pressed against your back brought you gawping to an end. "I see you two are getting on well."
A deep blush settled on your cheeks. Ruby noticed. Her knuckles gently dragged across your cheek, as if to wipe it away. Her nose scrunched up as she gave you a smile. Her presence was a comforting as Nico's, although her's was a soft, malleable one to fall into. Where his a was a solid, firm one to hold you steady.
"Shall we?" He held out his arm for you. As you looped yours in his Ruby took your other arm. Nico didn't say a word, he only waited to see what you would do.
"So do we just take any room or...?" You looked up at him, eager and inquisitive as always. For a man that claimed softness wasn't something he could give you, it shone out of him when he smiled at you.
"I have a room. It has a balcony. I know how much you enjoy the night air." He teased before leading the way.
As you hadn't spend much time with him tonight, you weren't sure which Nico you would getting. A hand around your throat as he pushed you up against the wall, as soon at you were in the privacy of your room, announced it. Dominate Nico.
"You two looked so fucking hot tonight." His kisses were rough and demanding. The smooth continuous slide of his belt passes through the loops was followed by the sound of his zipper. "See what you did, you fucking naughty girl?" He held his hard length in his hand.
Suddenly, you were painfully aware that Ruby was in the room. When you turned to her, she smiled, holding her hands up. "Watching you two is just fine for now. I don't mind seeing that." She waved her hand towards Nico's crotch. "It really is quite lovely, as those go, but I have no interest in touching one. Thank you. No offence."
She hopped up on the bar helping herself to a drink.
"None taken." Nico grunted as he spun you around, lifting your dress as he did so. Angelo had advised you to forego underwear. Nico parted your knees with his own, he bottomed out in one thrust. Your nails clawed the expensive, embossed wallpaper. It was in stark contrast to the no frills fucking you were getting. Nico didn't kiss you, touch you, apart from where he was holding you in place. He even spilled inside you before you could cum.
"God. I needed that." He dropped your dress, turned to Ruby as if he had just finished a conversation with you rather than railing you. "So you don't want to touch me?"
Ruby shook her head, her mouth full of the martini she'd made herself while you were busy.
He turned back to you, his finger tips reaching for you, skimming your shoulders before finding the zip of your dress, pulling it down, he left the dress in place as he turned you to him.
"Do you want to touch her?" He asked, his eyes searching yours, he'd probably find the answer before you even knew it.
"Yes. I don't know how...but yes...I'd like to try." You pushed you dress off your shoulders, leaving you naked.
Ruby smiled, her plump lips pressed to the edge of her glass. Her eyes roamed your figure blatantly.
"Do you want to taste her?" You thought about how sweet you tasted on his tongue. About how good he made you feel with his tongue. "Don't worry, Kitten. I'll teach you. Why don't you two get comfortable."
Without hesitation, Ruby untied the her halterneck dress the whole thing shimmered down to the floor. She stood naked in pool of it.
Over the years you had found yourself lingering on the lingerie pages of catalogues or watching certain movie scenes with avid interest but didn't all woman? It was just admiration. Comparison. Women were beautiful. The naked female form had always been the subject of art. It transcended gender or sexuality. It was art. Right? Art to be admired, converted, worshipped.
Soon, your hands and tongue became the instruments of praise as you worshipped her breasts. It took a beat for your brain to catch up, you movements became self conscious. Ruby lay on the bed under you as Nico lay aside the two of you. Nico's hand smoothed over your neck as you thought about stopping. Nadia's came up to meet his. Neither of them guided you, the weight of their hands was just there, comforting. Moving your head up, you kissed her lips with renewed excitement. Nico moved down the bed behind you, shuffling you down with him. Settling between your legs he licked a strip up your folds.
"Why don't you see if she likes that too?"
His tongue swirled through your folds. Repeating the exact same motion was hard as you shook with the pleasure of it. The way her thighs trembled around your head told you Ruby liked it too. Nico moved away laying back on the bed, he watched you intently. "Keep going, Kitten."
Tuning his gaze out, you did your best to concentrate on giving Ruby's pleasure. It was a little overwhelming at first, the taste of her, her scent, the texture of her slick flesh on your tongue. The way her hips chases your tongue as you tried all the things that Nico, and Angelo, had shown you that you liked.
Eventually, you found a rhythm that she really seemed to like. Pride filled you as her moans filled the room. When she gently thread her fingers in you hair, you took that as your cue to give her more. This would usually be the point when Nico would slip his fingers inside you, if he hadn't already. You spared him a glance, he had tucked himself back into his pants, yet the outline of his cock bulging against his slacks was unmissable. He was fully hard again. Just the sight made you wet. Moaning against Ruby, you became bold enough to press two fingers inside her. Both her and Nico groaned at the intrusion. The movements of your tongue and fingers were a little uncoordinated at first. With a little practice you evened things out. You fingertip steadily curled against the rough patch of skin inside her as you paid more attention to her clit. At this point she was being even more vocal.
A sense of shame rose in you at the thought of other people hearing her, of knowing what you were doing. Screwing your eyes shut you tried to force the thought away. Redirecting the nervous energy into what you were doing, you pushed her over the edge. Her whole body curled in around you as she chanted the Lord's name in vain. Her pussy convulsed on your fingers as she gushed around them. The whole thing left you trembling. It was always a high to succeed at something new. You don't remember pulling away from her, or Nico moving until he held your own cum covered hand up to your lips. Ruby gazed up at you as your took your fingers in your mouth. Her taste was so different from your own. It was still pleasant, just different. Nico moaned next to you as you licked them clean, readjusting himself as he did so.
"That was....are you sure that was your first time?" Ruby wriggled down the bed to kiss you. "Damn, I need a drink." She walked completely unfazed but her nudity to the bar.
With Ruby distracted, Nico climbed between your thighs. Lifting you into his arms, he kissed you passionately, deeply, yet with more of this newfound tenderness. His heavy cock pressed into you, smearing your arousal all over the front of his slack until they darkened. Your cunt chased the friction until he pulled away. He rested his forehead against yours for a moment before placing a gentle kiss there.
"You two, enjoy the rest of the night." He rose from on top of you was out of the door in a flash. You were quick behind him, catching the door just before it shut. Stood, naked as the day you were born, fist balled at your sides, you didn't know exactly what you wanted from him. You knew you weren't get hearts and candy or a cuddle before you slipped into sleep. He had told you that. Now he was blaring the lines with these moments. You wanted what you had gotten from him so far, truth. Or so you thought. Would the truth about his lingering kisses, about his words about love that night, help? Or would it just complicate things further? He eyed for a long while, as if he was waiting for you to realise you were nude and scurry back inside. Chest slightly heaving you stood your ground. He breathed out a laugh before taking his jacket off and wrapping it around you. He was broad enough that it afford you some modesty.
"Go on. Tell me what you need."
So many unanswered questions whirled through your mind. Maybe you didn't need that truth but you need some truth from him. One question leaped out at you, you let it out before it died on your tongue. "Why do you like to watch so much?"
"If you'd seen the things I have. You want something else to see when you close your eyes too." He replied simply before walking away.

PJO au where Bianca di Angelo doesn't die
Send me an AU and I'll tell you five fun facts that would happen in a story
Bianca lives aus my beloved~
Nico stays at camp, this is the obvious one. Without Bianca's death, he doesn't have the catalyst that sends him into the spiral at the end of the book, which means it likely takes much longer for his powers to manifest and for him to be claimed. I like to think that Bianca already had an inkling of who their godly parent was, if only because she was older and more likely to be able to extrapolate whatever she could do, demigod-ability wise. For a little added flavor, I like to think she keeps this knowledge VERY close to her chest.
Weekly Iris-messages between Bianca and Nico. You cannot tell me that after 70-odd years with only each other for company, Bianca would not want to know how her little brother is settling in at camp. He might be her annoying little brother, but he's her annoying little brother (<- not speaking from experience or anything).
Bianca spends a while (probably a LONG while) fairly listless. She spent her early years in the 40s, so she probably has some time-appropriate skills, but those wouldn't always translate, and the remainder of her time alive has been spent looking after Nico, so she doesn't know what sort of person she is outside of those restraints. Joining the Huntresses was her first big personal choice, and I want her to get the time to find herself, whoever that is.
Eventually, they have to be claimed as Hades's children. This probably comes out in a suitably dramatic manner at camp. Nico murder-boarding up the Hermes cabin to try and prove to everyone that Percy isn't dead because "trust me, I can feel it." Followed by the battle of the Labyrinth, and the stress of that situation causing his abilities to manifest as a pseudo-cavalry would be fun. For Bianca, I think it would just be a matter of "she's already a huntress, so once she's claimed, she's still theirs" but there's a heavy debate about returning to camp to warn everyone about Nico.
Most importantly: Nico is no longer a vessel for Percy's guilt complex! Yay!! Instead, Nico probably stays pretty excitable and happy for the first little while, then starts to grow quieter and more introverted as More Shit Happens, but never to the point of avoidance of others that we see in the books. He really comes out of his shell in the HoO/ToA books (I must confess I haven't actually read all of them. I got to Tower of Nero, I think, and stopped), and I think he'd end up more like that without the raging grief, betrayal, and depression clawing at him after Bianca's death. (Thinking about it now like. Who let this ten year old vanish? Chiron that child was in your care. Why would you listen to the traumatized teenager telling you it's all gucci? Send some folks after that boy and convince him to at least stay during the school year when Percy isn't there so he can EAT.)
TY for sending this Mo!! <3 This was a lot of fun to think about. I don't read many Bianca Lives AUs, and the ones I do tend not to really go into it.

i agree that you seem great for fic recs so I wondered if you have any nico r fic recs? i’d really like to see him as more than just a background character as Lewis’ toxic ex <3
hi anon! thank you so much for this ask, i was gonna do it yday but i was way too drained, so thank you for waiting! i do have some nico fic recs, coming under the cut! as usual, mind the ratings and warnings yourself, bcs i'm mostly providing my own feedback and feelings about these fics! :) i'm picking the ones that stayed in my mind pretty much rent free. <3
-
again, first, ultimate, absolute winner about characterisation in my eyes is @kritischetheologie and Everybody Wants To Rule The World. it's the fic that made me completely unhinged, one of the best, morally grey, insanely well written fics out there, which i adore with my whole heart. it's a Seb/Nico, which i was very sceptical about, but damn was i proven wrong! some of the best, most in-depth characterisation and understanding of subject matter i've ever seen in my life. C's blog is also generally a well of Nico content, with musings and writings, and i have been getting my Nico fix there for quite some time now. it helps that C is very much Nico-like and i love her for it <3
kelogg's frosties & video games by @georgerussells - brocedes my beloved, alt '22 season, absolutely insanely well written (all of their fics are, ive read ALL of them, i should do it again). i love how nico is here, it's all told from lewis' pov but its raw, and just so in character, and wonderful. its the first brocedes fic i found and one of the reasons i fell down the rabbit hole. i adore it and rec it with my whole heart <3 (check out their crown series and the yt au series, i love those!)
high speed weekend survivor by @denialricciardo - nico/danny ric. may be one of my all time favorites, EVER. its an university au, and it's perfect. like, absolutely perfectly written, the author manages to literally effortlessly paint nico's character and all the little nuances, the technical talk is fascinating, everything about this fic just makes me so, so happy. i love it. <3
the torture of small talk with someone you used to love by finedae is a nico-focused fic ive read like 3 days ago and can't stop thinking about. i promised to leave them a comment soon when i get my brain right, but what i can say is that its. effortlessly funny and tragic in the same breath, lovely writing style, absolutely adore everything about it, how much they show despite it seeming to be just tell, it really isnt. peak characterisation. wholehearted rec. i love it. <3
the weight of the world we are holding by fadeoutslow is a 5+1 kisses fic with jenson/nico endgame that i think very much manages to perfectly encapsulate the characters of every single one person mentioned despite being so short (this is me wishing for more not a criticism) which is so fucking admirable. i love it. also, the world is changed because you are made is peak perfection (as is nico's ass, that's all im gonna say). :)
hot as hell by vandoorne is one of the hottest things i've ever read, and it's so effortlessly funny and just manages to get both nicos and jensons characters through. i love it very, very much. it's a witch/succubi&incubi au btw, so mind that :)
Roseberg's vs Haminkton by dearest @jean----ralphio is a florist/coffee shop au that made me laugh out loud when i thought i was never going to laugh (dramatic, i know), and something i re-read whenever i just want to feel warm around my heart and be happy. (thank you for that again friend!) <333
and finally, I'm going to put my own fic here - Vielleicht, Vielleicht. a jenson/nico angst fest (which is getting a sequel from nico's pov due to popular demand and me being incapable of shutting up sometime soon i think) about their relationship throughout the years, non-linearly. because i can :)
thank you for asking, i hope these help and that you like them!

fic rec friday 10
hi!! welcome to fic rec friday. every week, i pick five fics i have bookmarked and rec them with a little review. check them out!
something borrowed by @rosyredlipstick
In the Solace Wedding Planning agenda, on the fifth page into their summer schedule, there are carefully scrawled out notes reading this: Bride and Groom - Hazel Levesque & Frank Zhang Best Man & Maid of Honor - Percy Jackson & Piper McLean Wedding Court - Annabeth Chase & Jason Grace Mellie & Gleeson Hedge Reyna Ramírez-Arellano & Leo Valdez Ring-bearer - Chuck Hedge Flower-boy - Nico di Angelo - Will plans wedding and now, apparently, Nico stars in one. Except...sometimes there's a bit more confusion on that last part. AKA the AU where Will plans weddings and thinks Hazel and Frank are going to have to cutest, gap-toothed ten year throwing flowers down the aisle, all while wondering why this 'Neeks' guy is always hanging around, and what business he has looking that good.
yes i am back on my rosyredlipstick (dude she's GOOD okay). however this one is my favourite i think. this is the kinda story you could use to explain to people what dramatic irony is bc LORD i wanted to SHAKE THEM 😭😭 will falling like deeply in love with nico and being intensely stressed about everything the whole time is so real and on brand. i love him and i love the fond exasperation that just bleeds from this fic its GREAT
2. Rental Love by @rosyredlipstick
*Read Terms & Conditions - Male/22/Long Island N.Y.C. Tired of showing up stag at holiday events? Want your family to stop thinking there’s something wrong with you? Just want some arm candy for a work event? Look no further. Your solution is here! I will attend holiday events with you as your paid date. Accepting all genders as applicants. Email [email protected] if interested. Interview & application will be set up there. - Nico di Angelo has been telling Hazel Levesque about his boyfriend for weeks. The bad part? Nico doesn’t have a boyfriend, the holidays are coming up, and not all of Jason’s ideas are horrible. They’re all a bit surprised about the last one.
THE LEVEL OF STUPID THAT THEY ARE...😭😭 kills me fr. like this whole fic is just a manifestation of truly one of the best tropes of all time…..like what if we took a hallmark movie and made it gay as all hell. iconique indeed
3. A Match in the Making by @coconutcranberries-blog
“You’re a morning person,” Nico muttered, rubbing his eyes with the heel of his palms. He ran a hand through his black hair, which stuck up in disarray, the same way it did every morning. He was a mess, and Will Solace looked annoyingly put together, and Nico didn’t even care, really, he didn’t.
friendship is the core of romance!! it is!! every time!!! and it's such a core in this fic....which is fucking??? ten years old??? im just realising?? jesus christ??? anyways. "Nico had the sudden, warm feeling that Will Solace had never bought his act." i YELLED
4. Perception by scorchedtrees
In which everyone thinks Nico and Will are together.
i love this trope i love it SO BAD. both ways. when your love is so obvious that no one misses it.....love to see it truly. and will can have one second of beingn smooth and not a dweeby loser. as a treat
5. the world is brighter than the sun now that you're here by @finalizer
It was hard, Nico eventually concluded, to maintain one’s air of spooky otherworldly detachment with a blinding ray of sunshine trailing one step behind him every minute of every day.
grouchy nico my beloved truly. honestly hes such a bitch i love him like "Seriously, give the guy a perm and a few cats and he’d be that weird aunt that everybody avoided around the holiday season." why does he ALWAYS have something vile to say 😭😭 hes a mood fr
thank you for joining me this saturday friday!! happy reading!!

HIIII ZOE ITS MY IRRITATING ASS AGAIN (this is my main blog, I have tennis and f1 sideblogs but don't know how to make the ask come from there, I haven't been on tumblr in FOREVER..)
anyway my little curious gremlin ass has YET MORE QUESTIONS
ALSO I COMPLETELY FORGOT CHALLENGERS WAS COMING OUT, IM SO DAMN EXCITED FOR THAT FUCK YEAH, we LOVE zendaya she's gonna serve (pls laugh) cunt
okay so i think picking out my favourite players will be easier if I relate them back to f1 drivers, makes em seem more familiar, so if I do like a checklist of sorts of driver types, can you match them up to players you think fit the vibe?????
e.g. is there a former champion (lewis/fernando coded) who's looking for a comeback? is there a young talent who's had bad luck but is on the rise (lando) is there a calm, level headed one that everyone thinks will go far (oscar) is there a charming elegant one that social media is obsessed with (charles my babygirl). im assuming djokovic is the max verstappen adjacent, fairly young dude who's smoking everyone, yeah?
just like ugh I LOVE f1 so dearly and i think sporting parallels will help SO much
question: is it a big money sport like f1? Obviously anyone can pick up a racket and hit a ball, but is it very expensive and exclusive to make it into the big leagues? you mentioned smth in the fic about oscar adding up the whole cost of going pro, would that be a huge problem for poorer families?
are there any player pairings with vaguely homosexual vibes? again with the damn f1 parallels but adjacent to max/charles, carlos/lando, even lewis/nico if I dare mention brocedes, because I just absolutely live for speculation of silly little goofy athletes' relationships with each other
here's where I get REAL shallow but fuckin sue me, WHICH ARE THE PRETTY ONES I CAN SIMP OVER. i am bi so that doubles the market, but basically which are the ones that i can watch edits of and get all giggly and blush over, in your opinion and in the general tennis community's opinion.
whats andy murray's deal? Is he retired? Is he like the sebastian vettel of tennis?
how dramatic is it compared to f1? we all know that f1 is gossip girl on wheels... is tennis gossip girl running around a court or is it less drama-fueled?
not a question but I'm so excited to see which f1 drivers turn up to Wimbledon this year like, CROSSOVER EPISODE YEAAAA
is djokovic the max-esque guy where it's like "okay I don't mind you, you're cool, but god DAMNIT, stop being so good, let my other favourite little meow meows have a CHANCE for once"
how worldwide is it? are players mostly European/Aussie like f1 or is it more widespread?
is the meme game good? i LIVE for online hilarity in sports, are there any iconic tennis moments/memes a la "it's near a fish" "smoooth operator" "bwoah" etc etc whatever
really gotta stop talking about f1 in terms of tennis but it's the only other sport I'm really into IM SORRY FORGIVE ME
which are the "sad wet cat" (dearly beloved) players? you mentioned one guy but there's gotta be more than one right??? I always get attached to athletes with those vibes
IM SO SORRY ABOUT THE CONSTANT QUESTIONING BUT YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON I TRUST TO GIVE ME CORRECT INFO RN BECAUSE YOU REALLY SEEM LIKE YOU KNOW YOUR SHIT
finally a HUGE FUCKING THANK YOU???? For putting up with my idiot ass mostly, and your fic is singlehandedly making me wander into the tennis world despite knowing literally nothing and you're helping my understanding SO much, youre about to drag me down this sport's rabbit hole just by existing. tennisblr seems like such a fun adorable place im SO excited to start watching stuff, you're a legend and ilysm <3333
you are literally NEvEr irritating you are the best thing to happen to my inbox every time, sorry i was so slow on this one!! I had a very hard time relating f1 drivers to tennis players lmaoooo so in the end i just skipped that part!! I'm so sorry!!! it's just so hard because the narrative of f1 drivers is so specific and intrinsically tied to TEAM and to their teammates, and to the tragedy of a good car and/or the wonder of a great car ... the betrayal of contract negotiation & silly season etc.... tennis just doesn't really have that!! all the narratives are more player v. self and player v. world, instead of driver v. driver and driver v. fate. if that makes sense??
so yeah. sorry 😭😭 it's also possible that I just don't have enough imagination and somebody can jump in to help with that .... anyway, moving right along to
"is tennis a big money sport"
GOD yes. tennis is soooooo expensive, it takes approx 1 billion dollars to pay for lessons, court time, coaching, travel, accommodation, gear, etc etc. :// You get paid if you win. let me say that again: you get paid if you WIN. there aren't salaries! early in your career, you are HEMORRHAGING money, esp if you have a coach. the travel is fricken expensive all by itself!! and if you're paying a coach as well you're either in debt or you're playing with house money if you catch my drift. (tennis players often come from wealth, much like f1 drivers — they can also be sponsored, sometimes by their country, but usually only if & while they're successful!!)
if you do well, you start to win, maybe you make money, more likely you're breaking even for a while (or even still losing). if you do REALLY well, then you're looking at more prize money and maybe sponsors, so then you can start making some real money out of this. but yeah it's CRAaaaaaazy how much money tennis players pay to play tennis lol!! it is 10000% a problem for getting underprivileged kids into tennis, there's a reason tennis is so white!
"are there any player pairings w vaguely homosexual vibes"
LOLLLL look i never turn down a chance to push the sincaraz agenda but also, carlos alcaraz does that for me!!!!
Tumblr media
they're so cute damn
also getting into sinner/berrettini …
Tumblr media
but honestly, besides that?? f1 is way better for pairings because we watch them interact with each other off track WAYY more. you barely see tennis players interact with each other! i have been emailing the respective tennis associations about this (jk but I should). MORE GOOFY VIDEOS WITH PLAYERS DOING STUPID GAMES (with each other, crucially)
"which are the hot ones"
ooohh this is suuuper subjective but i am soOOOoo into coco gauff, she's gorg, also iga sviatek in red, also daria kasatkina, also maria sakkari really does it for me, also katie boulter is so cute.
Tumblr media
hot damn
on the atp side oBVI jannik, carlitos is so cute but he looks so young i feel like he's less hot and more adorable, caspar ruud looks like ryan gosling as you have pointed out, ben shelton is gorgeous (and cocky in a way that unfortunately does compel me, oops), arthur fils!! beautiful. tennis players are all hot, in my mind??? they're so …. well rounded …. 😏😏😏
"which are the "sad wet cat" players"
andrey rublev my beloved sad cat
muchova (not really a sad wet cat but tragically always broken in some way)
daniil medvedev but if the cat was cunty
"whats andy murray's deal?"
oh my GOD murray!! my love my husband my father my holy ghost!! a tragedy a triumph …. a player in the era of the Big Three (Djokovic, Federer, Nadal) and therefore destined to be remembered as "oh, and andy murray" … or "one of the big four" (the big four is not a thing unless you're talking about andy murray lmao) ... a great player, one of the greatest, a slugger, a workhorse, had one of the cleanest backhands of all time, and the classiest guy in tennis … see: andy murray shutting down sexist reporters on multiple occasions ....
youtube
youtube
He's not retired !! he's still going, here he is recently losing:
He's actually (possibly) playing at this upcoming Challenger Tour event! as are a number of interesting players. the reason that this is interesting is that Challenger level tournaments are a level below the ATP Tour, so you don't often have this many recognizable (to me, anyway) names playing at this level!
Tumblr media
[side note: the movie Challengers — the name is a play on the Challengers tour. they're playing a Challengers match in the movie, but also "challenging" each other for zendaya … you get it]
Anyway this tournament should be interesting … andy murray is getting older but he's not ready to quit!! he's gone on the record saying there are things he's still trying to accomplish before he retires, and he's playing well in practices it's just not translating to matches yet. he's also said if his body tells him to retire he will, but uhh. he's got a literal metal hip so clearly he's not QUITE ready to listen to his body.....
"is he the seb of tennis" HMMMM this is an interesting question, I wouldn't really class him this way — seb is like a silly little sexy fruity goblin (if I'm reading his vibe correctly — I'm late to f1) and andy is a stoic public school kid with a goofy streak … if that makes sense …
"how dramatic is tennis compared to f1?"
ALSO INTERESTING I think that's sort of relative to how much you care about individual players, I think game-play is pretty dramatic at times but nobody's ever in danger of bursting into flame??? so in that sense not as dramatic as vroom vroom sport lmaoo but there is a bit of temper tantrum throwing, and then important wins (see: Alcaraz Wimbledon 2023) are SO dramatic in the best way…
gossip-wise I don't think it's as dramatic as f1!! there's deffo tennis gossip but I think, again, because there aren't teams, the drama is less wrapped up in "betrayal" narratives yknow??? like ferrari ditching sainz for lewis was dramatic in so many different ways, not LEAST because of the betrayal of carlos. I feel like tennis is less set up for that, bc it's every player for themselves
"is djokovic the max-esque guy where it's like "okay I don't mind you, you're cool, but god DAMNIT, stop being so good, let my other favourite little meow meows have a CHANCE for once"
YES EXACTLY i cut in your whole q because that's exactly right!! so so so apt imo .. howEVERRR it was less correct when federer and nadal were still around and at their best, because those three really did make up the Big Three, capital B capital T, and they had such a good dynamic going between the trio — it was less one-note when djokovic had a constant fight on his hands... now djokovic is older and slowing down so we're getting into a sunset period, which is interesting because he's still doing GREATTT (and I wish he would stop, give my meow meows a chance etc) but everyone sees the light at the end of the tunnel re: a djokovic retirement. whereas I think people are looking at the max ascendancy and saying "GULP" bc we all want our favorite boys to win at least one WDC (cough lando cough cough osc)
"how worldwide is it?"
fairrrrly? but yes europeans heavvvvily represented, americans as well to some extent, asia and australia to some extent — not so stark as f1, but def same bougie euro vibes lmao
"is the meme game good?"
again fairrrrrly but def not to the same extent!! less of a "here are the memes everyone knows" and more in the spirit of, like, if you're following a few players & the major tournaments, tennis tumblr/twitter is fun to be on … trying to think of a "classic" tennis meme and I can't which isn't a good sign lmaooo .. jannik puking in a bin and then going on the biggest win streak of his career is a pretty good meme in my mind though ...
CROSSOVER EP YAAHHHHHHHH I CANNOT WAIT WE BETTER GET SO MANY GOOD WIMBLEDON PHOTOS AJHFDLAKSJFHDKLASJFH
sorry again to be so slow !! this was fun to go through as soon as I stopped tearing my hair out trying to make player: driver comparisons but again, maybe I'm just not creative enough ..
xx ily :))))))

hi hello can i get a 🤥😭🕷️🌱 and 🌏 for fenix? 👀
hiii thank you so much nico, fenix my beloved fenix...let's see what assholery he's up too <33 hsfksfkf
oc asks
🤥 LYING - are they good liars? do they have tells to show they're lying?
ohh he’s such a good liar...he is. he lied for most of his life as a job, changing up his identity, his name, sooo many times, preteding he’s someone he’s not...he mastered the art of lying truly. i think the only way to tell he’s lying is knowing him real well, you know how you can tell if someone very close to you like a best friend is lying or something with them sounds fishy? you don’t know why but you feel that bullshit is being served, well yeah that’s how it goes for fenix. be it maybe a slight variation to his tone, his speech pattern or his behaviour but you just feel it. the best way to not be fooled by this man is knowing him and that’s not exactly easy dskfh
😭 CRYING - what makes them cry? do they cry easily?
he doesn’t cry easily, mainly because he doesn’t like to show when something is troubling him or making him sad so he just bottles up everything. the times he cried are so few (and even fewer the times when someone saw him cry), he lets out tears out of frustration mainly, when he’s losing someone he really really cares about..COUGHING vesper COUGHING
🕷️ SPIDER - what is their biggest fear? do they have any irrational / mundane fears?
being left alone for the rest of his days and losing all the people he loves lmao dramatic little man. this comes mainly from the fact that he knows he’s not the easiest to deal with sometimes and he’s scared that one day the people he loves will be too fed up with him to continue putting up with his antics. also he’s scared of heights, the thought of falling makes him anxious. he tries to be an Adult about it and often challenges his own fear but god...he’s so funny, sometimes he’s scared to look down from up a pair of stairs fdhskfjh
🌱 SEEDLING - what is their most vivid memory from childhood?
he had such a sad childhood </3 i’m so sorry babygirl. the most vivid memories are probably the little “treasure hunts” he used to do with his brother and ephraim, their adoptive father. exploring abandoned buildings searching for something incredibly old, like books, vinyls. that still sticks with him since he keeps doing them and also is the reason he has such a vintage soul. that is one of the few happy memories he has from his childhood 
🌏 EARTH - will they give up the world for someone they love? is this decision easy for them?
yeah. just yeah. not sure if we are talking about death here or complete destrusction of the world for someone he loves jfsfk but he would do that, no second thoughts. i said this once but he would literally do anything for vesper, he could throw away any kind of morality for her if it means saving her life or making her happy. the only thing that makes his life worth living are the people he loves, if he loses them then there’s no reason to be alive any longer

ive been rotating what little i know about Alekto Cudaas in my mind since yesterday and would please like to hear More (no pressure tho)
thank you,,,, you are in luck because Alekto is the character in CUDAAS that i rotate around in my mind the most and at the highest velocity!! 9/10 times when i'm thinking about this story, i'm probably just thinking about Alekto in some way asdjfk;l
ok idk how long this gets,,, i'm so sorry nico u may have unleashed a Monster. so i'll type this up and if i need to i will put it under a cut <3
CW: implied/referenced physical abuse and discussion of romance!
anyway so! Alekto! my beloved!!!! they originally were, like. very much a background character i made to round out the world a bit, but then i thought more about the three character traits i gave them and went "wait there's actually something interesting here." so now they're one of the main POV characters. <3
okay i'm not quite sure how much i wanna ramble because this is still in pretty early development, but i'll share some Alekto Facts™ and elaborate on some things from the powerpoint.
so Alekto is a very gentle character for the most part. they've seen a LOT of violence and cruelty in their time, and they've had a lot of it directed at themself (even from other guardians in their original flock). so as a result they're loathe to show that same cruelty to anyone else, and they won't engage in violence unless absolutely necessary.
that doesn't mean they can't kick the shit out of someone if needed, though! Alekto is very small but very physically strong, and they've learned to use their magic (which is more defensive) to fight if they need.
'cause that's a thing i haven't really talked about much!!!! guardians each have some magic, and usually it differs from guardian to guardian and is highly specialized. wildlings have magic, too, but theirs isn't as specialized and not always unique to each wildling.
Alekto's magic specifically is that they can create shields out of pure energy, essentially little forcefields. and though that is a defensive power they've gotten creative and figured out how to use it in a fight to their advantage.
for example, like... i have this scene in mind with Alekto and Narkissos sparring, and their magic is meant to complement each other's (Narkissos can do essentially the same thing they can, but he makes blades instead of shields), which means they're uniquely able to counter each other in a way most can't. also Alekto is strong enough that they can just. pick Narkissos up and fucking throw her, despite her being a solid foot taller.
okay physical stuff aside, one thing i really like about Alekto is that they are deeply fascinated with life and the act of creation. to most guardians, creation is something reserved for the gods, so Alekto's love for art could, in a way, be considered an insult to their creator. and i think that could partly be why they like it--not because they view themself as a god or because they view the gods as inferior, but because they just love to create and breathe life into things in a metaphorical sense.
Alekto paints, draws, sculpts, weaves... they just love to make things!!! it's their favorite thing to do and it helps them relax and be happy more than anything else does. they don't usually share a lot of their creations, but they just like makin' em.
i have this idea of like... either as an AU or maybe something later in the series, but Alekto would love being an art teacher. just something to think about <3
okay this is a little long but uhhh the last thing i will talk a little about is Alekto's relationship with Hekate!!! because that's kinda what spurred this into an actual story.
SO yeah i'm not being subtle at all but Hekate and Alekto's relationship eventually becomes romantic as the story continues!!! but the romance isn't the reason why it's so important to me: it's important because it's the catalyst for both of them to change dramatically as people, and also because i just feel so Soft™ for them,,,,
Alekto and Hekate's relationship is defined primarily by acts of service and helping each other. it starts really small, but soon it becomes a huge theme with them. Alekto feels like their purpose in life is to be useful to others and help them, and they have a lot of issues letting others help them with anything or showing any kind of vulnerability, because in their old flock that would result in them being punished harshly. but then Hekate comes along, and over time he becomes the first person they open up to and show vulnerability around.
a lot of Alekto's character arc, aside from realizing how fucked up the system they exist in is and wanting to change it for the better, centers around them learning to be vulnerable and allow others to help them.
i do really want to write this one scene i've had in mind for a while that's just... Alekto saves Hekate, and as they're healing him he asks them teasingly, "When will it be my turn to help you?" and they don't have an answer for that </3 but it's a really important moment and a bit of a turning point,,,,
okay thank you sorry for how long this is, i just love Alekto with my whole heart <3
to wrap things up. here is a meme that sums up where i think Alekto's character arc is going after book one.
