Marine Life at Elkhorn Slough
A few days ago my sister, niece, and I enjoyed a safari on the estuary known as Elkhorn Slough, which is near Monterey, California. It was a delightful two-and-a-half hours with helpful commentary provided by the captain and the on-board naturalist. We saw seals, sea lions, otters, pelicans, herons, cormorants and a variety of other birds.
Elkhorn Slough is a wildlife reserve and the lands…

Petted a giant isopod; felt like a lobster tail made of 120 grit sanding paper housed in a bucket full of ice, arched up into each pet like a cat
1000000000/10 would pet again

Nerds au??? What is that??
SHDFDSF OMG ive been waiting to talk abt this for so long. bc i started it in, like, february, and got like a little over halfway through it and then i stopped writing it because of other things but i still really really wanna finish it so basically here's the premise:
i call it the nerds au in my head bc they're all nerds, this au has like the entire main cast (which is like nico, will, jason, leo, percy, annabeth, reyna, and pretty much all of the other main hoo/pjo characters) as like. the kids in 5 ap classes and straight a's and in the scholars program (which idk if this is a common thing, but it's a thing at my school, where it's a group of students who get good grades in like really rigorous classes (ap/honors courses, which if you're not from america, is just really hard college-level classes with more heavy workloads than regular classes) and these group of students get to go on a trip once a year to somewhere (like, to visit colleges, or to just go somewhere interesting/educational)
and basically this would *probably* be more effectively named, like, "field trip au" bc it's essentially that. it's really just me writing these characters into my life for that two day trip that i went on in february with the other scholars kids and had such a great time, and i got it in my head to think "oh, what would the pjo kids be doing in this scenario?" yk, ignoring that most of them are wanted by the government, have been kicked out of many schools, and would certainly not be top of their class. but like. yk. minor details. it's an au!
and so, in this au nico and will have a sort of academic rivals relationships?? there are lots of fun tropes including, there was only one bed (actually there are three beds but jason and leo are sharing a bed and these idiots can't figure out how to work the pullout couch), academic rivalry, and lots of general shenanigans. it's very much just a fluffy, feel-good type of fic, that has a bit more of a focus on the dynamic of the friend group overall than just the solangelo relationship
but yeah, the nerds au is essentially my mini-memoir of this field trip, but through fictional characters! like, literally. i pulled several bits of dialogue from the real life conversations i had. pretty much all the plot points were all things that happened (except for the romantic subplot, bc, yk, me being aroace so that's just added bc it's solangelo and how could i not)
anyway. here's the first few paragraphs of it (aka kinda like a mini prologue but it's only 800-ish words so) :)

Subject: Re: Scholars Trip Meeting
Nico,
No worries. Hope you feel better soon. Your friends have signed you up for the rooms — You’ll be sharing with Jason Grace, Will Solace, and Leo Valdez. Make sure to stop by my classroom to get the forms when you get back.
Mr. Hedge
Sent from my iPhone
Nico reads the email. Then re-reads it. He shuts off his phone and opens his outlook on his computer to read the email again.
You’ll be sharing with Jason Grace, Will Solace, and Leo Valdez.
As if Nico isn’t already miserable from the cold he’s come down with over the past week. He had thought fine, it’s fine, it’s just a sore throat, and I’ll get out of school for a day — but then one day turned into two, and then it turned into being bed-ridden over his entire three-day weekend, and then missing another two days of school, including two exams, an absurd amount of classwork, an in-class timed essay, two physics labs, and the stupid fucking Scholars trip meeting.
He hadn’t thought it would be a problem. He’d pick up the forms another day, and then he’d just get the information from Jason or Reyna and it would all be fine. He had thought it would be pairs. He had thought he would be sharing with Jason.
It had been a very detailed conversation: Jason turning around in the middle of AP Lang from his front row seat, yelling back, “Hey Nico, you’re in Scholars, right?”
“Yes,” Nico had responded, voice quiet as it always was, but it might have been a bit louder because he had been wearing headphones and he never does get his volume quite right.
“Wanna be roommates?”
“Okay.”
Very enthusiastic. He had thought that was the end of the conversation. So he hadn’t been worried about missing the stupid meeting, but now it turns out that he’ll be sharing a room with not only Leo Valdez, but also Will Solace—
He may just die. He’d have Hazel write it on his gravestone: Nico di Angelo, died of gay panic. Blames Jason Grace and whoever gave him a cold, causing him to be sick on his literal birthday, and on the day of the Scholars Trip Meeting. At least he got to live to see the age of seventeen.
That’s a bit too long of a message for his gravestone, but he’s sure Hazel will find a way to get the point across.
By the time his eyes scan over the email one last time and realize that yes, this is real, he shoots off a polite response saying thanks and when can he make up the essay he missed. Then, he picks up his phone and sends a much less polite text message to Jason.
It’s only much later as Nico is re-watching Frozen for the third time and staring sadly at the growing pile of tissues on his bed, when he gets a message that says: It was either that or leaving you with Octavian. Sorry, dude.
Three bubbles show up on the screen. Nico waits a few seconds, then:
It was actually Will who offered it, anyway.
;)))
That’s it. Jason’s going to be the one who needs a gravestone, not Nico, and he’ll ensure that he won’t get caught—all he needs is the perfect opportunity, and they’ll be going to the beach, won’t they? He’ll drown Jason, make sure there’s no chance—
His rage somehow transforms into a coughing fit, and it only takes a few minutes for Hazel to poke her head into the room, a grimace on her face. “Oatmeal?”
Nico doesn’t have the energy to say no. He’ll make it up to his sister at some point, when he’s not on his death bed.
It’s unfortunate that Hazel, one year younger than him, won’t be going on the trip. It means that Nico will only have two sort-of friends, Reyna and Jason, one of which he will be giving the silent treatment because of betrayal.
He wonders if he can just get out of the trip all together. It’s not like it’s required; he could just go to school like normal—
“Oh, Nico, by the way,” Hazel leans her head back into the room, no oatmeal in hand, “Frank wanted me to tell you that he’s got your forms for the Scholars Trip, and he’ll give it to me tomorrow. Did you want me to stop by your teachers to get them signed?”
Shit. Nico just responds with another cough, and Hazel quickly abandons the room, leaving her brother to his misery.
By the time that he can finally go to sleep, nose raw and throat aching, he’s forgotten all about it.
#fully inspired by real life scenarios including the miserable cold that i was suffering from#the title atm is 'checkmate i couldn't lose' but it might end up changing at some point#let me know if the concept sounds interesting bc i'm already like 10.7k words in...#oh and the setting is like monterey CA so things that will be happening are beach scenes!! the steinbeck museum!! the monterey aquarium!!#aka percy's like dream trip#also the excerpt was not proofread and i don't have the energy to do that rn so hopefully it's alrightDKF#wrongcaitlyn
