a magical realism nicojack fic for @raisesomehellfest

The objective truth is hard to come by these days, but there are a few things the Mayor’s son, Nico, knows for a fact. The blue-eyed boy he keeps seeing in his dreams is more than just a figment of his imagination. The lingering curse that blankets the town like a miasma will always be his plight to contend with. The Wielder the townspeople once drove out of their bustling little community for murder was most certainly innocent. And Hughes Manor, after three centuries of abandonment, is finally occupied again.

if you need me i’ll be thinking deeply about the implications of the song jack used in his latest ig post

even the devil needs time alone sometimes…… called to the devil and the devil said quit…… too busy saving everybody else to save yourself…..

I wanted to participate in @raisesomehellfest and decided that I'm best at photocards. Settled on this lyric from "Forest Gump" by Frank Ocean, because to me it reminds me of nicojack 💕

“I think maybe you should sit this one out, baby,” Jack suggests quietly, rubbing Nico's back.

It’s a horrible thing to say.

Jack would lose it if Nico said it to him. -

Or: Nico gets very sick and Jack stays by his side.

We used to be moots on twt and I was refreshing the l hughes tag on ao3 suddenly I'm like,,,wait is that,,,eri??? Lol like funny how thing happen...what made you get into hockey? and have you like completely switched over to sports? or will you still be writing txt?

oh no way???? yes that is me! i got into hockey last year through a couple of friends (shoutout @ghostsinmachine and her very convincing powerpoint lol) and also my own curiosity re: the legend of hockey rpf writers on ao3 just being really, really good haha

i won’t say i’ll never write for txt again but ngl my interest in kpop has waned a lot over the past year and a half or so, so for now i’m not planning on it! will always have such a fondness for them though 🤍

feeling my way back to you

Jack’s mind, unbidden, goes I jerked off to your dorky Facebook pictures this summer. He shoves that thought into an oxygen-less back room and slams the door.

(Or, Jack and Nico break up. Jack’s doing fine, thanks for asking.)

one thing about sports rpf that sets it apart is that these aren't about supernaturally beautiful people like actors and musicians and kpop idols are which is practically a criteria for any media facing job; made to be aesthetically beautiful and trained to be charismatic. athletes are often charisma vacuums because they start so young and are hyperfixated on their sport and have no personality beyond it. most of them are actually quite plain looking. there's some notable exceptions of genuinely stunning face cards but most are pretty average and the ones that are considered hot are actually hot for An Athlete. now I know some of you are disagreeing vehemently, blorbo from sportsball is the prettiest of them all, but really it's cause sports fans have so much exposure therapy to them, seeing the same faces all the time over a year and engaging in media about them, that they start finding beauty in the mundane where when you get to know someone you realise they're actually beautiful to you. now there is a notable scale where the more popular a sport/team/athlete is, the more they have entire hair and makeup departments for magazine shoots and interviews where they are styled or at least aware of what hairstyle or way to carry themselves looks good on them, and that adds to their overall attractiveness. scale down and you'll see someone calling a male cyclist with fucked up teeth who looks like a product of balkan incest a gorgeous girl. and that's how you get novel length and often better quality written rpf about dudes who look like in every other life were destined to the local town's convenience store cashier bored out of his mind at a gas stop in between your road trip you'd never spare a second thought of again. and I think that's beautiful <3
