༺═──────────────═༻

(Y/N) swears she won't have a voice come the morning.

As soon as the puck went into the net and the goal horn went off for the third time, she's been screaming in the suite with the other Devils wives and girlfriends. Her boyfriend just scored his first NHL hat trick and she couldn't be prouder of him. They're now up 5-2 on the Sabres with less than a minute left in the game.

Jack and Dawson have a goal each along with Nico's three goals. It's a four-point night for her captain boyfriend since he got an assist on Jack's power play goal. She remains standing until the final horn that signals the game is over. The Rock is buzzing as the Devils give Vitek some goalie hugs.

She records when Nico is announced as the first star of the game for his four-point night. The crowd cheers as loud as they did when Nico scored the hat trick. Her lips hurt from smiling for nearly ten minutes straight.

As soon as Nico skates off the ice, (Y/N) makes her way down to the players' lounge room that the wives and girlfriends usually hang out in before and after the game. She hangs out with Vitek and Erik's wives as she waits for the players to come in after they've changed and showered.

Notifications start coming through about a half hour after going to the players' lounge. A lot of notifications. New followers, lots of likes and comments on Instagram. A lot of mentions on Twitter. She has no idea what's going on.

(Y/N) reads one tweet that's in her mentions that has a clip attached to it.

vina @/hischiers i knew there were rumors but nico hard launching his relationship after the game was not something i expected to happen today of all days

She clicks on the clip of Nico in his postgame interview and watches it.

Amanda Stein asks off camera, "Did you have any friends or family present for the game today to witness your first NHL hat trick?"

Nico doesn't hesitate to reply, "My girlfriend came to her first Devils home game today." He smiles and bites his bottom lip. "Yeah, she, uh, this game was really special for me because she's here and she got to witness my first hat trick in person." He blushes and doesn't stop smiling in the clip.

"Oh my God," (Y/N) gasps as the clip restarts.

They never talked about going public with their relationship. They've been dating for about seven months. Nico is one of hockey's most popular players, and (Y/N) has seen how loved he is among the fans. She's basically a no one from Newark dating the captain of a hockey team in the NHL.

The players begin to make their way into the lounge area. They make their way to their wife or girlfriend or really whoever they invited to the game. Her eyes are on the door as she waits for Nico to come in.

Jack and Luke walk into the room with Nico five minutes after the rest of the team does. They're deep in conversation but she can't help but run over to her boyfriend and basically jump into his arms.

Both Hughes boys both laugh as Nico catches her and she wraps herself around him completely. He wraps his arms around her torso so she doesn't fall.

"Congratulations, baby," she says against his hair. It's still damp so he recently showered. "I'm so proud of you."

"Guess you're my good luck charm," he laughs in reply. (Y/N) pulls back so she can see his face and he looks genuinely happy. "I play a lot better when you're in attendance."

She shakes her head and smiles. "I think that's bullshit," she tells him. "There's a reason you're one of the league's best players since you came back from your injury. It's not because of me."

"I think you should come to more games anyway," Nico says. "Clearly I like when you come to games."

(Y/N) laughs and rests her hands where Nico's shoulders meet his neck. "I'll come to games whenever you want," she replies. "You like to show off when I come."

He smiles and nods. "I gotta show off for my girlfriend," he retorts. "Especially when she looks so good in my jersey."

"Flatterer," she laughs before she leans down and captures his lips in a soft kiss. Nico laughs into the next kiss before she pulls back and looks at him. "By the way, did you know you told the entire league and it's fans that you have a girlfriend during your postgame interview?"

"You saw?"

"It's all over social media, Nico. People are saying you hard launched our relationship."

She lets her legs drop and Nico lowers her to the ground. "There were rumors anyway," he replies. "It was bound to come out. Did it bother you? It just kind of came out when I was asked and I wasn't really thinking about the fact that we never talked about it."

"I just would've liked a little heads up," she tells him with a smile on her face. "Are you ready to go?"

He nods and begins to make the rounds to say goodbye to the Devils. She never lets go of his hand as he says goodbye to his teammates. It's his job as captain to tell the team how good they did so he doesn't forget about that. He congratulates Jack and Dawson on their goals before they finally head to the parking lot.

Nico drove them to the Prudential Center in his car so she sits in the passenger seat of the car so Nico can drive them to whoever's place is closest. Which is Nico's apartment.

As they leave the parking lot, Nico stops and says hi to some fans. Pictures are taken where (Y/N) is definitely in the background but at this point, she doesn't care. Nico already told the entire world that he had a girlfriend that was at the game.

He signs some jerseys and pucks, takes some pictures, and gets more than a few congratulations on his hat trick before Nico finally pulls out of the parking lot. He looks over at (Y/N), who gives him a small smile as they stop at a red light.

"You played really well tonight," she tells him. "I'm not just saying that because you had a four-point night but you played really well. I'm so proud of you for getting your first hat trick tonight. I can't believe that I was able to watch it happen in person."

Nico laughs and says, "I told you that you're my good luck charm. The first game you come to after we start dating and I score my first NHL hat trick. It's not a coincidence."

She shakes her head with a smile on her face and looks out the window until they get to Nico's. She plays with her thumbs under the sleeves of her too big jersey that Nico gave to her a few weeks ago.

Fifteen minutes after leaving the arena, Nico pulls into his apartment building parking lot and parks in his usual spot. Her car is parked next to his. They get out and begin the trip up to the top floor of the building where Nico lives.

The building is ten stories tall so it takes a minute for the elevator to get up to the tenth floor from the first floor. Their fingers are laced together the entire time.

(Y/N) follows close behind as Nico unlocks the front door to his penthouse apartment. She wraps her arms around his torso as he unlocks the door and presses her front to his back. "You can't wait until we get inside?" Nico asks as the stupid door finally unlocks.

"Nope," she replies, popping the "p". "I wanna show you how proud of you I am."

He laughs before he pushes the door open. (Y/N) stumbles inside after her boyfriend. She closes the door behind her and Nico presses her against it with his hands on her waist. She stares up at him like she’s challenging him to do something.

Nico looks her up and down. “I wasn’t lying earlier when I said you looked good in my jersey,” he tells her. His voice is deeper and accent thicker than it normally is. “I love seeing my name and number on your back. Knowing you’re mine. It’s so hot. You're so beautiful.”

“Do something about it.” Her voice almost comes out as a whisper. She is absolutely challenging him at this point.

He leans down and captures her lips in a searing kiss. Her heart leaps in her chest when their lips touch. Her back hits the door with the force of the kiss and her fingers grasp at the collar of the jacket Nico is wearing. (Y/N) pulls him as close to her as she can get him.

He presses himself completely against her and slots a thigh between her legs. She has to resist the urge to grind up against his thigh to give herself some relief from the pressure that's building between her legs.

"Off," she mumbles as she pushes Nico's jacket off his shoulders. He helps her out and shrugs the fabric off. He kicks it to the side when it hits the floor and grabs her by the waist.

She pushes her waist off the door and they stumble toward the master bedroom where Nico sleeps. Their shoes are kicked off by the door and Nico's jacket is abandoned on the floor. He loses his tie in the living room and his button-up is lost in the hallway.

When Nico falls onto his back on the mattress, all he's wearing is his suit pants. Even they're unbuttoned and the belt is on the floor. (Y/N) looks down at her boyfriend on the bed and gnaws on her bottom lip.

Sometimes she doesn't know how she got so lucky. She fell in love with the most beautiful and loyal guy. He's captain of a NHL team but still manages to find time to see her whenever he can. He's a talented hockey player that fell in love with her.

She can't believe this is her life. Being able to fall in love with Nico has been the best thing that's ever happened to her. Being able to be loved by Nico is an honor.

"You okay?" Nico asks as he sits up. His hands run up and down the back of her thighs. "You look deep in thought."

"Just thinking," she tells him as she crawls onto his lap. She straddles his waist. "I don't know how I got so lucky to love and be loved by you. You could've fallen in love with anyone but you fell in love with me."

Nico smiles up at her and wraps his arms around her waist. "I fell in love with you because you are the most incredible and beautiful woman I have ever known," he replies. "You're so supportive of me despite my crazy schedule. I don't know how I got so lucky."

Her face gets hot as she smiles. "I'm proud of you, Nico," she says. "I am so happy that I get to see you grow as a person and a player." She leans down and presses a quick kiss to his lips. "Gonna show you how proud of you I am."

She slides down to her knees on the floor at the foot of the bed. Her fingers work on unzipping his pants. She pulls Nico's pants and boxers off in one pull. His hard dick pops out of its prison and stands against Nico's stomach. (Y/N) throws them to the floor and kisses up the inside of his leg from his knee.

After placing a soft kiss to his hip bone, she takes him in her hand and gives him a few slow pumps. Nico grabs a pillow and uses it to prop his head up so he can see her without straining his neck. She smiles up at him before she takes him in her mouth.

"Oh, fuck me," Nico breathes out as (Y/N) moves her head up and down on him. "That mouth of yours feels so good, liebling."

(Y/N) loves it when Nico uses German nicknames on her, especially when they're in bed. They sound ten times hotter when her mouth is on him or when he's inside of her. There have been times when (Y/N) has been in control and Nico has been reduced to speaking his native language.

She'll never get enough of it.

One of her hands makes up for what can't fit in her mouth while the under snakes into the leggings she's wearing under the jersey. Her own fingers run through her folds and work her toward her orgasm. She lets out an occasional hum, which drives Nico crazy. She knows it drives Nico crazy by the way he squirms under her touch every time she does it.

Then she does the one thing she knows gets Nico to come almost as soon as she does it. She hollows out her cheeks and sucks before she swirls her tongue around the fire red tip.

"(Y/N), baby," Nico pants. "Gonna come in about two seconds if you keep doing that."

With a pop, she pulls off his leaking dick. She uses her tongue to get a bead of precum that was on the corner of her mouth. "We wouldn't want that to happen so soon now would we?" she asks as she stands up.

Nico's eyes widen as she begins to undress. The leggings come off first. She reaches down to pull the jersey over her head and Nico sits up quickly. "Uh uh," he says. "Jersey stays on."

"If you come on it, you better get me a new one," she tells him as he slides back on the bed. "I'm not walking into games wearing a jersey you came on." He laughs as he reaches into his bedside drawer and pulls out a foil package.

She finishes getting undressed but leaves the jersey on. Nico slides the rubber contents of the packages onto himself as (Y/N) straddles his thighs. He sits back against the pillow and headboard. She leans down and captures Nico's swollen lips in a tender kiss. He matches her pace and slowly kisses her back. He puts a hand on the back of her neck. His fingers curl into her hair.

All of her emotions are poured into this kiss. Her hands are on his jaw so he can't go anywhere. Not that he could go anywhere since she is sitting on his lap.

(Y/N) begins to move her hips slowly. She hums as Nico's dick slides through her folds and against her clit. A soft moan falls from her lips into the kisses she exchanges with Nico.

One of her hands leaves Nico's jaw and she positions him at her entrance. She presses a long kiss to his lips and leaves them connected as she slowly sinks down onto him. A whimper comes from her as the familiar pressure fills her. Nico takes the opportunity to lick into her mouth before he pulls back to look at her.

"You feel so good, schatzi," Nico tells her. "So good for me. You take me so well, you know that?" She replies with a soft hum as he completely fills her.

She allows herself a moment to adjust before she begins to roll her hips. Nico's hands fly to her thighs before sliding under the jersey to her waist. "Fuck, Nico," she breathes out as he moves in and out of her while she rolls her hips. Her hands are on his torso to keep her balance.

Slowly, she begins to pick up her pace. Moans fall from her lips the faster she moves.

One of the best things about being with Nico is how intimate these moments are. It feels amazing to be physically connected to him like they are one person. She wouldn't trade this for the world.

They fit together like two puzzle pieces. His hands fit perfectly on her waist. Their lips mold together every time they touch. The way his nose fits perfectly above hers when their foreheads touch is her favorite thing. She molds against his body every time they lay in bed together.

It's like they were made for each other.

"(Y/N), liebling," Nico breathes out. His eyes are on her as she rides him. "Ich liebe dich so sehr."

This is what she means. It's like he's forgotten how to speak English when they're in bed together. She loves it.

"I love you too," she pants because she's slowly been learning simple phrases and knows what Nico said. He tells her he loves her all the time in German. "I love you so much. I'm so proud of you. Fuck. You're amazing."

One of Nico's hands slide to the back of her neck and he pulls her down so their foreheads rest against each other. Her nose brushes his every time she moves. Her eyes close and Nico's thumbs brush her cheeks. "Open your eyes, baby," Nico tells her. "I want to see them. Please."

Her eyes open back up and meet Nico's big brown eyes. He smiles and she leans down to kiss him. She breathes hard into the kisses that are exchanged between them.

Nico takes advantage of the distraction and rolls them over so he's hovering over her. She smiles up at him until he begins to thrust hard and deep inside of her. A pornographic moan passes her lips and she arches her back to get closer to Nico.

He reaches between them and his fingers find her sensitive clit. She gasps when he touches the bud then whines when he begins to rub her closer to her pending orgasm. "Holy fuck, Nico," she cries out. "Keep going. Fuck."

Nico throws her legs over his shoulder so he can get a new angle and move even deeper into her. She has to bite her lip to keep from screaming his name as he begins to slam into her g-spot over and over again.

"Let me hear you, liebling," Nico says. "Don't hold back."

His pace quickens and she has to grab on to something. She chooses his hair when her hands slide up into his locks and her fingers curl. "I'm gonna come, Nico," she warns him. "Fuck, I'm close."

He keeps the same pace and uses his fingers to bring her over the edge. She comes so hard she sees stars. Her vision goes almost white and Nico's name passes her lips along with a string of curses. Her legs shake as they hang on his shoulders and she cries out as she has one of the most intense climaxes of her life.

Only Nico could ever get her to come like that. No one has ever made her come like that. No one besides Nico will ever get her to come like that.

There's a weight on her chest as she comes to and she realizes that Nico is lying on her chest. They're both panting messes as Nico gets off of her after resting for who knows how long. He ties off the used condom and tosses it into the trash can by the bed.

(Y/N) pulls off the jersey and takes off the bra she's wearing because she's sweating before she crawls under the blankets to cover her naked and spent body. Nico joins her and she rests her chin on his chest. Her eyes are on his the whole time. She traces little shapes on his belly.

"I think I got a little carried away," Nico admits. "I blame the jersey."

She laughs and shakes her head. "Good to know you have a thing for me wearing your jersey," she replies. "I'll have to remember that when you're having a bad day or you have a rough game."

Nico smiles and brushes a piece of hair out of her eyes. "I really do love you a lot," he tells her. "Thank you for coming to the game tonight. It meant a lot to me that you were there to watch me score my first hat trick."

"Thank you for inviting me," she says. "I had a lot of fun watching you score your first hat trick. It was incredible."

He leans down and presses a soft kiss to her lips.

Their night is nowhere close to being over. Nico has a day off so she is going to make sure she takes care of him and gives him whatever he wants for the rest of the night. All because of that hat trick.

masterlist

Percy

he's always barefoot during spring and summer

you'll never catch him with shoes on because he things that they are "blocking the fresh air his toes need"

at least they never get that dirty because he can't survive five minutes without jumping in the sea

when he was younger sally had to force him wear shoes to school, to the parkt et cetera and he was always so angry at her after that because he hated it with all his passion

that anger quickly faded after she baked some blue cookies

after growing up he learned that he should wear shoes to school et cetera but the second he is at camp he gets rid of them

after you dressed it he delegated that he always washed them and kept them clean so there was no wrong doing it and that it's actually healthy for your feet

Annabeth

listen, I love annabeth

but she's always mansplaining

Like u could be talking about ur close family that she only met once and she‘d say something like „actually, i had the impression that…“

It’s so annoying

she doesn't even mean it mean or something

but it also could be just a conversasiation that she isn't even involved in and she'll just randomly pop up and mansplain the topic

jason

That boy doesn’t have any basic knowledge

Like he is at camp jupiter since he’s three or something

I‘m not sure if they even knew what they where teaching him

Like that boy doesn’t know algebra

You could be talking about something in history and how deeply that event infected the way society lives now and he‘d be like „what do you mean?“

And he’s serious

Everytime Percy and Leo make fun of him for not knowing something he‘ll run to you and beg you to explain it to him

Most of the time you make a bit fun of him too because a 17 year old boy who doesn’t know what the french Revolution was is kinda funny

He knows that you‘re just joking though

hazel

I love her but she's like one of the extra careful mom's whose world break when their child hears a swear word

every time you are someone near both of ou swears she has this weird shocked and impressed look and looks around the room

you had to stop swearing around her bc she always starts blushing and looks at you in awe

they don't even have to be the "bad" swear words, it could be something like shit and she'd still be shocked

you had to learn to find alternatives like fudge or fox

she made you browse for the alternatives to swear words for around two hours at midnight and made you subscribe to the mommy blogs incase they had "more cool little alternatives"

piper

she's a die hard romance book hater

she always gives you the weird look when you read one or even only look at one at the bookstore

like she doesn't even have a plausible reason besides that they "always have the same ending and are very predictable"

I mean she's right but still

when she was 14 she had an instagram where she just talked shit about romance books because she was bored

it's not even that she doesn't like reading or books that much, she just doesn't like them because they (as already said) have the same ending and because she gor sick of the perfect romantic ending after drew talked night in and out about it

you once convinced her to read your favorite romance book and she tried her best to be nice

she actually didn't find it that bad and liked the ending but she would never admit that to you

leo

that boy either doesn't shower for one week or takes two hour showers

it's a bit better in the summer but especially in winter he never shower because he "would just get dirty later again"

you have to force him too properly shower because he would just forget it again

and when he actually showers for once he takes two hour showers

but especially in summer he's just gonna swim in the lake and call it a day because he basically "got clean already"

frank

I love frank sm but he would 7 in 1 shampoo

he doesn't get why it's bad and insists that it makes his hair shinier

you try to explain it to him once but he just doesn't understand 😪

he also tries to convince you all the time that it's so much better than owning body wach, shampoo and conditioner

nico

is a pop music hater

he always has this annoyed look on his face when you play pop music

he always makes this disappointed dad sigh and says "again?"

nico sounds so disappointed

he secretly loves it about you tho

reyna

she's like a confused mom and never gets jokes

"what do you mean by that, y/n? I never do that"

you try to explain the joke to her but give up after 10 minutes

she's grumpy for the rest of the day because you wouldn't finish explaining it to her

eventually she gives her pride up and asks you again

and after another ten stressful minutes she finally gets it

she kept arguing that what you said doesn't make sense

[raphael-angele]

If Hades raised Bianca and Nico and took them to camp later-er

Bianca's Hair

Bianca's hair means a lot to her.

She's often told by everyone that she looks like her mother. And whenever Nico misses their Mama, he would go to Bianca and seek comfort because she reminded him of her because Nico was too young to remember what she looked like.

Bianca has vivid memories of their mother brushing her hair and styling it. Which is why Bianca's very protective of her hair; it's the last thing her mother had done for her and it was her favorite memory of her. It reminded her of something that was only between the two of them.

She used to decline Persephone whenever she offered to help her with her hair. As much as she loved and adored her, it wasn't the same as her mother.

Bianca froze at the sound of the snip of scissors

"There! Fixed!" The girl behind her, Chloe, exclaimed, unaware of what she had just done.

Bianca was having trouble detangling her hair again and it was worse than most. After failing, she gave up and asked one of her co-hunters to help her out.

Bianca turned around and looked at the girl and saw how much of her hair she had cut off. She looked at the chunk of hair then back at Chloe.

"Hey, I'm ba-" Thalia came in and locked eyes with them. "WHAT HAPPENED?!" She exclaimed.

"W-well her hair was really messy again so I helped her out" Chloe explained. "So you cut it off?! Did you even bother asking her if she was okay with it?!" Thalia yelled, marching towards them.

"She asked for my help"

"I asked you to help me detangle my hair. When I said to do whatever it took, I meant to pull really hard!" Bianca cried. She felt a somewhat familiar feeling in her stomach as she looked at the section of where Chloe cut. From the waist (almost hip) length she had, it had been cut to only reach midtorso. She wanted to scream and shout.

"You always had trouble fixing it, so, I thought that maybe I could help you out. I mean, even during quests, your hair always gets in the way"

Both Thalia and Bianca looked at her. "Excuse me?" She said it like she was being polite but you could hear how much she heard what the girl said and took offense.

"Your hair is always a mess, it's too long, it makes you look like you have a mop on your head and you always braid it wrong." Chloe listed.

"Chloe! What the hell?!" Thalia shouted. "I only did what was for the better. Bianca, trust me, this is for the best" Chloe said.

Bianca didn't know what came over her as she stormed out of the cabin. The moment she bursted the doors open, she saw black thorny vines creeping onto the cabin. They wrapped around the pillars, crept towards the entrance, climbed up the walls; they were everywhere. The violet veins that crept inside the vines and roots glowed. She stepped back at the sight of it.

Then she heard Thalia and Chloe coming up behind her and seeing what she did.

Thalia stared before grabbing Bianca's wrist and dragging her to the Aphrodite Cabin.

"Wait, Thal-" the older pushed the door open and bursted into the room, shocking the residents. "Any of you guys know how to fix this?" She points to Bianca. Still stunned (both by the door and Thalia's audacity), they just stared. Then Silena stood up and walked over to them.

"What happened?" She asked. "Something happened with one of the co-hunters and now her hair is ruined" Thalia explained. Bianca narrowed her eyes at her. It wasn't that simple.

Silena raised a hand to touch her hair but Bianca flinched away. The daughter of Aphrodite tried again and when Bianca didn't flinch away, she ran her fingers on her hair and examined it.

"That was a lot of hair." She remarked. Bianca blushed abd looked away. "I guess we can fix it. I'm guessing you want it to be as long as possible?" Silena smiled. "Yes, please!" The younger replied almost immediately.

"We'll see what we can do"

Thalia groaned. "Good. Now once you're done, you can clean up the mess you made of the cabin. For now, just calm down and trust them. I'll deal with Chloe"

[dogwittaablog]

hello! could you explain the nolan and nico lore? what happened between them?

Nico and Nolan, were both in the 2017 draft they were going head to head on seeing who was going to go 1st overall. Media through this tried to paint some picture that they had some big rivalry (they always do this.) Tho it was pretty evident THROUGH HARD CORE FLIRTING ON NATIONAL TELEVISION that these dudes had nothing but respect for each other, and were happy on whatever spot they landed.

It was highly anticipated that Nolan was going to go 1OA, and its been like that ever since the kid was 15-16 (give or take.) Tho injuries derailed him of his spot, and the little Swiss prince came out of no where and jumped the rankings. In the end Nico went 1OA to New Jersey, and Nolan landed 2OA heading to Philadelphia.

(Here’s a photo of them hugging after)

Most thought that they’d just associate during the draft and go separate ways after. Though it came out that they actually went on vacation together during one of the All Star Weekend breaks and were well in contact. You could also find them liking and commenting on each others ig pics time to time.

(Here’s the video clip of a reporter taking about there little get away.)

They had that “met once and instantly clicked” kind of chemistry and you just couldn’t miss it… FAST FOREWARD TO PRESENT DAY AND NOLPATS IS BRINGING US THROUGH THE RINGER, AND DECIDES TO UNFOLLOW NICO AFTER 6/7 YEARS WHILE NICO STILL FOLLOWS HIM BACK *SIGH*.

So here’s a throwback of the hard launch Nolan did at the time (now deleted.) I know Nolan’s ass is picky on who makes it on his gram, so IF THIS DOESN’T SAY SOMETHING TO YOU.

Side note: I forgot to add that moment when they both got asked by a reporter which country they’d play/represent besides their own and they said that they’d play for each others countries. SO NOLANS VISIBLY BLUSHING AND SMILING OUT HIS ASS LIKE “Yeah Nico showed me photos of back home, so I’d say Switzerland.” SEE YA.

*I FOUND THE VIDEO*

[ladylooch]

I need a little bit of sub (ish) Nico. Like I can’t let him be in charge all the time. Gotta girl boss him a little bit

A/N: I am blaming the summer heat in my state as well for my thoughts tonight… hahahah I’m not sorry. Which is why I still need to find Jesus. Hahahaha. I’m a lil drunky. 

Word Count: 730

The summer heat is getting to you.

And so are the defined curves of Nico’s abdomen where he is flipping off the dock with his brother, Luca. You can’t help but stare, even as Nina tries to engage you in conversation. 

“Hey.” Nina nudges your leg with her foot.

“Hm?”

“I said do you need more wine?”

“Yeah, ah… I’ll get it.” You offer, jumping at the chance to grab Nico to help. You should be a good hostess. “Neeks, baby, can you come up with me and help bring the next round of snacks down?”

“Yeah!” He calls as he uses the ladder to leave the lake. 

You head up together. Nico is dripping along the way as he towels off as much as he can during your walk. He ditches the towel on the deck before entering the kitchen behind you.

“Baby, you need more sunscreen.” He murmurs, pressing his thumb into your shoulder where red blushes your skin. “Grab some from the bathroom and I’ll put it on you.” 

After grabbing the white wine from the fridge, you pause by the counter, watching him go into the pantry. You open the cork stuffed into the top, taking two big glugs of courage before following your boyfriend into the walk-in space. He is examining two different kinds of crackers putting one back on the shelf to read the other box. He has a thing about matching crackers with the right cheese. It must be a Swiss thing because Nina does it too.

“Are we having brie or manchego?” He asks, shoving his wet hair back from his forehead. The action has you sweating. You fly forward into the pantry, shutting the door and leaning your back against it. Nico slowly travels his gaze along your body, noticing the distinct points of your nipples against the swimsuit top. “Hi.”

“Hi.” You breathe, practically panting. “You‘re driving me crazy.” 

“I’m sorry?” He chuckles.

“I don’t think you are.” You tell him. “At least not sorry enough.” Nico’s thick eyebrows dance up his forehead in amusement. You walk towards him, wasting no time in pushing your hand into his board shorts. He thickens in your hand. The box of crackers falls to the panty floor. “Here’s the deal. I can’t wait. Not one more minute without you bending me over and fucking me so hard I can’t breathe.”

“Jesus, babe.” He moans as you slide your thumb over the slit of his head. “Oh my god.” You squeeze him tighter until his knees buckle.

“You’re going to take me from behind. We’re going to finish in two minutes. And we are going to walk back down to the lake without one single hair out of place.” 

“I wanna fuck you on the floor.” He whines slightly.

“No. Against the cabinet.” You slap his cheek lightly, then wiggle out of your bottoms.

You bend over in front of him, gripping the base of his dick to push through your folds roughly. Nico’s hands ghost along your hips as you push yourself back onto him.  “Oh.” You sigh in pleasure. “Ah.” You gnaw your bottom lip, bouncing back until your ass claps against this abdomen. Nico presses his butt against the opposite cabinet, then winds a hand around to your stomach to pull you flush with him. His hips angle up and down with your movements. 

“Tell me how pretty I am.” You insist, fingernails piercing at the taut skin of his abdomen.

“So fucking pretty.” His teeth are gritted. “Fuck, you’re so wet.” He moans, tightening his thighs to stay standing. You reach for your hip, lacing your fingers together as you feel your orgasm coil.

“Play with my clit.” You move his hand to between your folds, immediately inhaling sharply at his touch there. “Like that. Please.” You moan holding his wrist there, feeling the beads of his bracelets indent your palm. You grind against his hand as you buck against him. You grab his other hand, putting it over your mouth to catch your scream. He moans your name as he comes too, filling your heat with sticky ribbons.

Your afterglow assaults you. Making you lazy as you redress yourself then turn to tuck Nico back into his shorts. His stunned expression has you chuckling as you grab the box of crackers he dropped. You extend them to him. He takes them with an astonished laugh.

“What just happened?” He asks, lacing your fingers together after dropping the crackers again. He tugs you closer, shoving his other hand in your hair as he kisses you.

“It was my turn to call the shots.” 

“Can we expand more on that later?”

“Sure, if I feel like it.” You lick along the seam of his lips, then return to the kitchen to pour two fresh glasses of wine.

If Nico’s siblings knew what you were doing up there, they have no reaction to it when you both return to the dock. 

“You didn’t get sunscreen.” Nico murmurs, kissing your cheek as you settle back into your chair. 

“Sorry, I got distracted.” You both chuckle and share another kiss. Nico takes off at full speed, jumping into the lake with a large cannon ball to splash you with droplets of water. 

He’ll pay for that later.

get to know my favorite driver's ship

this was made by me and for me and i wrote fanfic about them!!!

(fyi; i started watching f1 in 2015 so ofc you guys KNOW what my FIRST and ULTIMATE ship)

(older f1 ships: )

Brocedes :D (childhood friends, teammates, rivals, anything but a lover - crofty 2021)

OH COME ON. I will write an essay about their history. BUT ANYWAY, despite their toxic year in 2015/2016, I still adore how young nico and lewis friendship or whatever they had in Greece back then and I still keep this ship alive until the 2021 season. Their battle on the track was BEYOND TOXIC, yet their battle off the track (media drama) is HILLAARIOUS. How come Lewis accidentally spills out, the name that shouldn't be spoken for Half of DECADE. God both of them are dramas king. NICO PODCAST omg the talk with Alain prost and they compared his vs Senna battle with HIS AND Lewis's battle PLUS when Nico's storytelling his "friendship" history in ITALY at the SPONSOR EVENTS *CRIED* and lewis always mentioned how he loves ice cream and do cheating day in imola and monza BECAUSE IT WAS NICO WHO INTRODUCE THE FOOD THERE. ugh I hate and love them at the same time. (I do include some Seb/NICO too because I like see Lewis getting rilled up)

2. Kimi and Seb (I ADORE THIS A LOT)

my calm and serenity wise iconic ferrari couple. I feel like Kimi was the rock ice and water for Seb to prevent him from burnout because of ferrari. during 2017-2018, Seb pushed hard (same like Charles) and yet the car reliability fuck his championship standing. and kimi (--kimi was the last ferrari champion hiks) kimi just so attentive to seb and I genuinely like both of them being rebels to whole ferrari tradition (like they don't do rollercoaster thingy, they DON'T master Italian, they just become their self and being so comfortable in their own bubble, fuck world). I had noticed also Seb (and Gio) is the only teammate that can make Kimi laugh. I just super super adore them!

3. Maxiel (TRADITIONALSHIP! I REFUSE OTHER SHIP FOR MAX BESIDE DANIEL. I REFUSE!)

ugh should I explain them? THE CHAOTIC GAYEST ENERGY IN WHOLEEE 2016 GRIDS COME ON. I love how Daniel basically took young rookie Max under his arm and just had fun on and off the track with It? The biggest flop was when Max was just so hotheaded and they crashed in Baku. I thought their relationship gonna be stranded but GUESS WHAT? MAXIEL IS STILL ALIVE UNTIL NOW HELLO? and their relationship is so real not only for the camera but also out the camera. The other highlight moment is when Max is already 'too big' daniel really steps down from RBR because he knows, Max will outshine him, and he knows (what he learned from brocedes too) that it's better to go the other way.

(newer)

4. Dando (COMFORT SHIIP Not romantically also)

I thought daniel was max soulmate but LANDO excuse me? They can share daniel If they want. i just love how lando becomes so silly and blushes like school teenager around Daniel. i love how they INFLUENCE each other. I think because I feel nostalgic with them because they really similar with Maxiel in 2017 era, just one season before Daniel goes to renault, Maxiel was strained on thin paper. Dando other hands, well Daniel mostly, struggled in McLaren (with the papaya fans also still adore Carlos that time and refuse to let go him) plus Lando was shining bright just like Max 2016. Again, daniel he stepped OUT (this time). I guess, that similarity made me miss maxiel too.

5. last one C2 (Charlos) gosh, please!! ultimate!!!

loving and adoring them was expected though. It wasn't because they're both handsome (I already know Carlos was goofy ever since his Renault era so I never consider him as a handsome man) BUT DANG BOY, RED ON CARLOS WAS SOMETHING ELSE? RED ON CARLOS, BLACK ON CARLOS WAS SAKDAJSKDFHLKJSAFHKJAF.

-- okay back to the c2. It was a slow build okay? I realized that they are special during Carlos's first podium, Monaco 2021. Charles WAS LIKE ME. Blushing giggling, shy gazes toward Carlos. they are so endearing. Both of them are the victims of the Ferrari team. But I think they both understand each burden (Charles being the predestinated one, and Carlos had to prove his talent bcs he is a two times world champion son) plus, the way Ferrari screwed Charles in 2019. The team was cracked but with Carlos, I didn't expect this cursed team is heal :"D (Crying) and Charles become more relaxed, more enjoyed, even his coping mechanism is with laughter and Carlos just matches his energy. Idk , they gave me... a relationship through ups and downs.

and I realized there are so many people trying to pit them against each other, their fans are constantly arguing about who is the best and better driver, always dragging one of them down, but guess what is Carlos and Charles's response? it's completely differs from real life. They knew and fucking see it their fans tension. Carlos's anger to the Spanish media has already proven enough he had enough of these things. Charles also said in an interview that "what he saw about him and Carlos is nowhere true". they are the best PR relationship couple out there, but I also can see a genuine, how they know each other so weell. How Charles kept the football game updated just because of Carlos, how Carlos knows his favorite food, how they had their own internal jokes,

they are both soo lowkey on the camera during and outside the race. and I think that Is why people never hype them like carlando or everyone's favorite childhood rival to lovers lesttapen. And I thought they didn't really hang out with each other that much but WHAT WAS THAT SUMMER BREAK? HUH? YOU IN MALORCA AND WENT TO SOUTHERN FRENCH? What were the matching Instagram feeds color and aesthetic at New York? WHAT WAS THE THING ABOUT PASTA CARBONARA UN LUNGA NON PENNE? WHAT WAS THAT THING CHARLES SLEPT ON THE FLOOR just to accompany Carlos watching World Cup? The dolomites? The Sardinia?

there are soo many thing that they keep it so low-profile and under camera, and yet their conversation is so domestic.

Heyo I saw your wolfwood writing

Wolfwood simp full time job here ✋

Can u do a reassuring wolfwood like the raeder is having a real panic attack,because they meet their old friends,toxic ones and started making fun of them and when they cried they bullied her more calling "crybaby" "u were always a crybaby, y/n"

"Hey,if u wanna change why don't u get eaten by a sand worm? Ahahhahahha"

And wolfwood stepped in,he manages to making them fo away but when he turns to ask at their s/o if they were okay they started gasping,clenching their chest

Sure thing! Although I feel like most of my Wolfwood content is going to have trigger warnings. Hope you like it!

Fake Friends Real Love

Trigger warning! Mentions of panic attacks and verbal abuse

You joined the group that consisted of Meryl, Roberto, Vash, and Wolfwood for some time now. You enjoyed traveling even despite being chased after police and some malicious people. Despite it, you loved every minute of it, especially if it meant spending time with a certain unorthodox priest. Wolfwood was the coolest guy you ever bumped into. He was strong physically and mentally, and despite how much of a tease he was, you've grown fond of him. You aspired to be as strong as him one day. Eventually, you and Wolfwood managed to start dating each other after spending time with him for so long. You could say you fell head over heels with his charm, while he saw you as the most precious person to call you his.

During your travels, you sent letters to your old friends back home. You wrote in detail the people you've faced, the cities you've visited, and the creatures you've encountered. At times, you would grow homesick, but luckily the gang was traveling to a city where your hometown happened to be on the way there. You begged Meryl to stop the car so you could visit your town for a day and she eventually gave in.

"Okay, but only for a day okay? Afterwards we need to get a move on," Meryl reminded you.

"Got it! You won't regret it Meryl!" you replied as you flashed her a grin. Before you could run off, someone grabbed you by the back of your shirt.

"Hey! What gives?" you asked as your eyes landed on Wolfwood.

"Where do you think you're running off to?" he asked as he blew his cigarette smoke away from you.

"I'm going to see some of my old friends for a bit and I'll be back before dinner. Not like I'm going to get myself in a fight. Now can you let go?" you asked with a pout.

"Don't be reckless y/n, and make sure you're back before then," Wolfwood added as he lowered his shades so you could see that handsome gaze of his. You turned away so you could hide your blush from him.

"Got it Nico," you answered back knowing how calling him by that name made him feel. Wolfwood gave you a peck on the cheek before letting you go as you ran off and waved at the gang.

You told your friends you would be in town soon and to meet up at the usual hangout that was close to a diner. You ran until you saw three familiar faces huddled up together. You called out to them with a smile on your face as they looked back.

"Hi guys! It's been awhile!" you managed to speak while catching your breath.

"Well I'll be, if it isn't y/n in the flesh," your friend Nikki said as she lifted her hat up to get a good look at you.

"Guess it's good that Ryan got that letter of yours the other day," Tessa chimed in as Ryan waved the letter up.

"Of course! I had to send it out early just in case. Plus I wasn't sure if you got my previous letters since you don't reply you know?" you explained.

"Oh we got them, we just had things come up," Ryan said as he pulled out a stack of the letter you previously sent out.

"So, I guess your latest letter was true, but you know I find it hard to believe that little ol' y/n, is traveling with a rag tag group of people and 'kicking butt'," Nikki piped in as your brows furrowed.

"What do you mean? Of course it's true. How do you think I got back here in town?" you reasoned as Tessa walked up to you.

"Oh really? Because last time I remembered was you being a little crybaby for the smallest things. Remember how you couldn't even ride a Thomas and you cried when it kicked you off?" Nikki butted in as Tessa giggled.

"That was a long time ago, that's not me anymore," you argued. Tessa then got close to your face and spoke again.

"Or how you couldn't stand the sight of worms? So imagine us reading a letter where a sand worm ate your group. You must have been crying up a storm," Tessa brought up as she laughed.

"It did happen, but Wolfwood saved us!" you replied as you felt your hands shaking and your breathing rising gradually.

"Oh don't get me started on Wolfwood," Nikki giggled.

"Oh Wolfwood was so cool when he brought out his gun to save us all. He's so strong and mysterious, you wouldn't believe it. When I was trapped, he rescued me and made sure I was okay. How did I get lucky to have him as my boyfriend?" Ryan said in a mocking voice where he tried to mimic you in a falsetto while the girls laughed.

"Stop it! That's not funny! And it's true!" you raised your voice trying not let your voice crack but failed miserably while clenching your chest.

"If you did travel with this so called great group of yours, Wolfwood should have known how much you cry and let you get eaten by that sandworm and do all of us a huge favor. Also in what world would you have a boyfriend who puts up with your whiny self," Ryan commented as he continued to laugh at you.

"I thought you guys were my friends," you muttered as you felt your head spinning with how the three of them were causally throwing insults left and right at you.

"Oh what are you going to do? Cry about it you crybaby?" Nikki asked mid laugh as you looked down to hide your flushed face, but you noticed the ground was starting to distort. You felt nauseous the more they laughed. You tried to take a step back to regain your balance and lean against a wall.

"Look guys, I think y/n is about to cry. What a loser," Tessa pointed out as the others giggled.

"Just like old times. Once a crybaby, always a crybaby," Nikki added as you felt your lips quivering and the nausea get worse. You tried to leave, but Tessa and Nikki surrounded you and pinned your arms to the wall.

"Where's your boyfriend Wolfwood now y/n?" Ryan asked as he got closer to your face while you struggled to free yourself from their grasp.

"Guys, this isn't funny anymore. I can't breathe," you mentioned as you felt yourself starting to hyperventilate.

"Oh please, this is nothing y/n. Grow up," Tessa spat.

"You know what I think girls? I think Wolfwood knows just how much of a loser and waste of space y/n is. He probably pities you, that's the only reason I can get behind on why he would go out with someone like you," Ryan followed up with his words stinging like venom with each syllable. You desperately tried to say something but you felt a full on panic attack as their words filled your mind. Your tears were overflowing, you felt your heart palpitate, and shortness of breath as you hyperventilated.

"Look at you, pathetic. If only Wolfwood could see how much of a mess you are," Nikki commented laughing at you.

"AHEM"

Your eyes widened at the sound as your so called friends turned towards the sound of that noise.

"No wonder y/n was gone long, it's because you pieces of shits are hogging 'em," Wolfwood commented.

"Wait, you're real?" Nikki asked.

"Realer than all three of you combined. The name is Wolfwood, don't wear it out," he replied as he cracked his neck.

"So you mean to tell us not only are you real, but you're actually dating this person here?" Ryan pointed out.

"Yeah and if you don't fucking let Y/n go, I'm going to make all of you regret being born and laying a finger on 'em," he threatened as he put his weapon down, causing the ground to shake. The three friends stumbled back and let go of you as Wolfwood took one step towards you.

"Did y/n mention that this thing here isn't an ordinary cross?" Wolfwood asked with a shit eating smirk as the three of them trembled.

"Shit, we messed with the wrong person. Let's run while we can guys," Nikki suggested as they all high tailed their way out of the scene. You felt yourself stumble towards the ground, but Wolfwood grabbed you before you could land. He got you to stand up and put both of his hands on your shoulders.

"Hey, hey, look at me Y/n. I'm right here. They're gone now," he reassured but you couldn't focus with your panic attack.

"Shit, okay, follow me y/n. Take a deep breathe in. Breathe in," Wolfwood instructed as he inhaled deeply and you followed him. After 5 seconds passed, he exhaled and you followed through. He did it again and you listened to his instructions.

"Okay, what five things do you see y/n?" he asked you.

"I see you, your glasses, your cross, your box of cigarettes, and the ground," you told him.

"What four things can you touch?" he asked again.

"You, my outfit, the wall, and my hair," you replied.

"Good, you're doing great," Wolfwood said as he continued asking 3 more questions until you've calmed down.

"I'm sorry you had to see that. I thought they were my friends," you apologized. Wolfwood sighed and rubbed your back before speaking.

"You have nothing to apologize for. From what it look like they're shit friends. But you don't need them. You got Vash, Meryl, Roberto, and me," he answered as you flashed a small smile at him.

"Thanks Nico, I appreciate that," you said giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Next time I tag along with you. That's the last time I see someone try to hurt you or make you cry. And for the record, I would save you from that sand worm a 100 times if it meant being with you," Wolfwood commented as he kissed your head and then your lips.

"Now come on, everyone is waiting for us," he added as he took your hand in his right hand while he carried his gun with his left hand. You stayed close to his side. He made sure no one dared to get close to you while he walked you back to the group. Despite how the day started off for you, Wolfwood was there to salvage whatever was left of it. Wherever you went, you knew he would be there for you and that's all you needed.

Find the Word Tag Game

thank you @the-letterbox-archives for the tag! (please don't notice that this is pretty much the only tag i've answered in like a month haha i'm really sorry)

assigned words: blood, thought, light, burden (boy oh boy i have used these)

***

blood - from an aside about my main antagonist that I completed at 6:00 a.m. in bed shortly after waking up, hence the overuse of the aforementioned word:

“Accept our sacrifice, Mari,” the woman calls out to the air, aiming her voice at the blood moon and shattering the skylight with her fire poker. She takes Cara and moves at a fast pace toward the altar.

“No!” Amelia screams again, unable to stop herself. “Cara!”

The tall woman slams Cara’s body against the spike, and the most horrible crunching noise ensues. She then dips a finger in the blood dripping down the altar, painting a symbol on Cara’s forehead. Amelia tries to look away from the gore, but can’t until it’s over.

Both adult figures vanish into the night. It is quiet except for the sound of Amelia’s footsteps against the cement as she runs to Cara. “Cara! Cara, please, stay with me. You’ll be okay, I know it, you will-”

“Amelia,” Cara sighs, her voice quiet and hoarse, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth. She strokes her best friend’s cheek, pulling her closer.

The two kiss for a moment, lightly before Cara breaks it off.

“Run,” the dying girl mouths, taking her final breath as blood drips from the corner of her pink lips. Her eyes flutter shut, and Cara is no more.

***

thought - from the chapter of Pomegranate where Aria gets so angry that *someone* has died that she nearly beats Ryoko Eimin to death:

As I slid the knife back into its special engraved case, I thought of Evie for the millionth time. If she didn’t come back, I didn’t know what I would do. How did people get over lost loves in war?

How did I get here?

There was a knock, and Theo crept into the wooden-walled room, followed by Nico. Theo’s face told me that he thought Nico was the worst choice, but no one else had volunteered to come.

“Feeling nervous?” Theo asked, his voice trembling lightly.

I shook my head without a second thought, snapping the case closed and sliding it into my bag in two fluid motions. “Nope.”

“That’s the spirit,” Nico said, flashing a smile at me. It wasn’t a kind smile, more indicative - pointing me towards his goal. For once, I thought, Nico and I might have been in alignment.

***

light - from the chapter of Pomegranate where Theo and Robin walk around the school during a blackout:

“No, I’m okay. I kind of want to know where we are.”

I thought I caught a faint smile through the candlelight before Robin turned to face the piano in the corner of the room. “This is one of the music rooms. Since classes are held in the other music room, students don’t often come here.”

“How did you find out where it is?” I questioned, stepping a little closer to him with newfound curiosity.

It looked like he was blushing a little, but I figured the light was just playing tricks on me.

“I… come here a lot. It’s sort of an escape,” he explained, sitting on the cushioned piano bench familiarly.

I slid in next to him. “An escape?”

Robin’s face was contemplative. His cerulean eyes seemed to shine in the candle's glow, mesmerizing. “Even minor inconveniences can be draining every once in a while, Theo.”

Acting on impulse, something I'd usually never do, I touched his hand. He tensed briefly before relaxing, looking down into my eyes as he intertwined our. The tension in the air was impossible to name, but it was heavy and thick, and I felt my heart rate increasing, beating hard in my throat. “S- so, um, do you play piano?”

***

burden - from from the chapter of Pomegranate told from Taj's perspective meeting Itsuki (bonus points for light):

“I can hear you thinking, Taj.”

I flushed red, suddenly incredibly embarrassed by my lack of awareness. “I’m sorry, I just-“

“Tend to think three steps ahead, yeah. I get it. Trust me, you’re not alone in your anxiety. I’m the one who should apologize for being such a burden on you, and I’m so incredibly grateful for all you’ve done for me.”

I noticed his use of the word ‘you’ and felt guilty, like I was leading him on about being a savior or something when, again, I had indirectly insulted his parents and literally attacked his sister less than thirty minutes ago. Plus, I was probably the reason he was getting tortured in the first place. “Wh- what are you talking about? You shouldn’t be sorry for being a survivor of your sister's shit, and anyway, I’m definitely not worth all your praise after all that I’ve done.”

He looked at me with a feeling and a depth in his eyes I couldn’t place. “You’re worth much more than my gratitude, Taj Wisher, and you know it.”

I stood there for a minute, holding him up right next to the horeetle. I thought to myself that getting out of there was probably the best move, considering that I didn’t know how long the sleeping bombs were effective for, but I couldn’t peel my eyes away from Itsuki. I noticed the light pink-red color of his lips, like cherry blossoms, and how they complimented his eyes perfectly. Again, I had the urge to treat his facial injuries, to make him feel better in some way. He raised a hand to my face, gently moving it over the scar under my left eye.

“Did you know you have gold flecks in your eyes, Taj?”

***

yay this was fun! also, it made me realize that I use the words 'blood' and 'thought' not quite sparingly, but that's just something for me to look at and edit, so woohoo improvement!

words for the tagged: breath, hope, eye, hand

tagging: @elsie-writes @finickyfelix @paeliae-occasionally @tiredpapergirl @bluewritesbadly @katenewmanwrites and open tag!

[skitskatdacat63]

does the boy king au count

God that was quick!! Yes of course it does 🤭 (sorry if any of this is stuff I've mentioned to you in dms!! I can never remember which I've said out loud before and which not)

When they are still in their courtship phase, they go on a horse ride together. They end up racing each other really hard, and Fernando ends up winning(well did he win or did Seb let him win?) But Fernando is so so happy, not his usual gloomy self, and he leans over and ruffles Seb's hair and is like "maybe next time you will beat me," and he's all smiley and seb is just GONE, melting into the floor, blushing, can't speak, etc

Seb never stops bringing up the Spanish Throne. They could be laying in bed, 20 years into their marriage, and Seb would still lean over and whisper to Fernando, "so have you thought about giving it up-" and Fernando smothers him with a pillow.

Seb is very greedy for contact, he needs someone to be tactile with him all the time. In the early days of their marriage, Fernando is always ostensibly "reading documents from Spain"(he wants alone time.) But Seb is like "I won't be a bother 🥺 just let me lay over your lap 🥺" and Fernando eventually get visibly irritated with this and Seb is annoying, but he's not blind, so he's like "well if you're so annoyed, I guess I'll just go." But Fernando realizes the room now feels too quiet and misses Seb's presence and he can't concentrate at all :(

Sometimes I think about the arguments that would be had between the Spanish and Austrian sides of the empire. The top-bottom discourse would be INSANE SJKFLFLGLV. But nah like they both thing their king is the best, and that the others king *must* submit to the other in the marriage. And I imagine Fernando has some aide that he forces to collect all the "pro-Fernando" propaganda which he keeps in a book to look at when he feels sad but also when he feels gleeful

Mark and Jense are both playing match-maker in this AU, but in completely different ways. Mark is like, setting up an encounter between vettonso with no distractions, perfect ambience, etc etc– only for vettonso to get into some silly spat. Jenson on the other hand is like "let me piss off Fernando enough until he goes to complain to Seb about me and then they fall deeper in love." They once have a dinner together, all 4 of them(Nico and Kimi refuse to participate), and it is the most awkward thing in the world. Mark is desperately trying to keep it civil and Jense is playing devils advocate but on both sides(so making one of them think he agrees with them but then switching to the other's argument with no warning.) It ends with butter having to retreat from the room when Seb decides to sit on Fernando's lap during dessert to force him to have the "true Austrian cake experience."

Thank you for the ask C!!! I need to think about them more honestly 🥺 I think my issue is just that I now have a bunch of lore spread across my dms and I need to compile it at some point 😭😭

The Curse of Oenone (Leo Valdez xFem!Oc)

A/N: I need you to know that I headcanon Leo having a cowboy accent and that's how I usually try to write it -Danny Words: 1,906 Series' Masterlist Previous Chapter // Next Chapter Listen to: 'Walking Disasters' -by The Wombats

XLVII: Turn Down the Gospel Music, the Demons Are Still Here

The ceiling starts to collapse so Nico and Hazel have no choice but to transport them to the hillside near the River Acheron. It's a fresh morning, and the crew is safe and alive.

Leo stumbles, pale and shaky from shadow-traveling. "You know... I think I'll sit down."

They all sit to catch their breath, then Frank tells them what happened after they split.

"Frank is being modest," Jason intervenes after a moment. "He controlled the entire legion. You should've seen him. Oh, by the way..." He looks at Percy. "I resigned my office, gave Frank a field promotion to praetor. Unless you want to contest that ruling."

"No argument here," Percy smiles.

"Praetor?" Hazel beams at the boy.

"Well... yeah. I know it seems weird."

Hazel pecks his lips. "It seems perfect."

"Fitting," Ara agrees. "Having you as one of my right-hand leaders will be an honor."

The boy blushes and Leo pats his back effusively. "Way to go, Zhang. Now you can order Octavian to fall on his sword."

"Tempting," Frank smiles a little, then turns to Percy. "But, you guys... Tartarus has to be the real story. What happened down there? How did you...?"

Percy winces, reaching for Annabeth's hand. "We'll tell you the story. But not yet, okay? I'm not ready to remember that place."

Ara looks down and shakes her head. "It's my fault. There'll never be a way to make up for what I—"

"We're not blaming you," Annabeth cuts her off. "Closing the Doors of Death was something that had to be done. You thought it was your job but the fates had different plans..." The girl's eyes shine as she takes in Ara's appearance. "Your time here wasn't wasted."

Leo pulls her closer and smiles. "She's been nothing short of an atomic bomb with every bad guy we've encountered—she's all 'Hasta la vista, baby', and BOOM! Monster dust rains."

"That's a stretch," Ara blushes.

"I believe it," Percy smiles a bit.

"Look, our ride," Annabeth points at the ship approaching.

"That's my boy!" Leo says proudly, watching as the Argo II approaches them.

"About time!" Hedge shouts. "What took you so long, cupcakes? You kept your visitor waiting!"

"Visitor?" Hazel struggles to her feet.

"Oh, gods," Ara's mouth dries. "Reyna."

Ara didn't visit the Athena Parthenos during its time at the Argo II, she was too ashamed to look at it, thinking it would start berating her as soon as she got close. Now that it's standing on the hill, she looks at it in awe of its power and beauty.

"Incredible," Reyna mutters. "It looks newly made."

Ara thinks Reyna is just as impressive as the statue. She traveled alone with nothing but her pegasus and a sword, and still made it in one piece. If someone had told her Reyna was a goddess in disguise, Ara would've believed it.

"Yeah," Leo hums appreciatively from his spot on the grass. "We brushed off the cobwebs, used a little Windex. It wasn't hard."

"Hey, girls," Annabeth calls over to them. "Have some food. Join us."

The group is having a picnic under the shadow of the Argo II. Ara wants to nap more than she wants to eat, but she encourages Reyna to join. "C'mon, Praetor, you've had a long journey."

"All right," The group makes room for Reyna and she grabs a sandwich, staring at it before giving it a little bite. "So. Frank Zhang... praetor."

"Well, yeah. Field promotion," Frank hums, too focused on eating.

"To lead a different legion. A legion of ghosts."

"Reyna," Jason stays, "you should've seen him."

"He was amazing," Piper nods.

"Frank is a leader," Hazel states. "He makes a great praetor."

"I believe you," Reyna agrees. "I approve."

"You do?" Frank asks in surprise.

Reyna smiles shortly. "A son of Mars, the hero who helped to bring back the eagle of the legion... I can work with a demigod like that. I'm just wondering how to convince the Twelfth Fulminata."

"The legion will listen to you, Reyna," Frank replies. "You made it here alone, across the ancient lands."

"In doing so, I broke the laws of the legion."

"Caesar broke the law when he crossed the Rubicon—Great leaders have to think outside the box sometimes."

"I'm not Caesar. After finding Jason's note in Diocletian's Palace, tracking you down was easy. I only did what I thought was necessary."

"It's in your blood," Ara pokes the girl's back with her foot. "None of you can be denied of your right to be leaders. If your legion has a problem, they can talk to me about it."

Percy smirks. "There's that atomic bomb."

Leo and her brother chuckle like old buddies and Ara feels a mix of affection and concern. She likes that they're getting along, but it's a little worrying to think how they might team up to tease her in the future.

"So, the twenty-million-peso question," Leo says. "We got this slightly used forty-foot-tall statue of Athena. What do we do with it?"

"As fine as it looks on this hill, I didn't come all this way to admire it," Reyna replies. "According to Annabeth, it must be returned to Camp Half-Blood by a Roman leader. Do I understand correctly?"

"I had a dream down in... you know, Tartarus. I was on Half-Blood Hill, and Athena's voice said, I must stand here. The Roman must bring me."

"It makes sense," Nico responds. "The statue is a powerful symbol, a Roman returning it to the Greeks... that could heal the historic rift, maybe even heal the gods of their split personalities."

"Now, hold on. I like peace as much as the next satyr—"

"You hate peace," Leo interrupts Hedge.

"The point is, Valdez, we're only—what, a few days from Athens? We got an army of giants waiting for us there. We went to all the trouble of saving this statue—"

"I went to most of the trouble," Annabeth scowls.

"—because that prophecy called it the giants' bane—So why aren't we taking it to Athens with us? It's obviously our secret weapon. It looks like a ballistic missile to me. Maybe if Valdez strapped some engines to it—"

"Uh, great idea, Coach," Piper says. "But a lot of us have had dreams and visions of Gaea rising at Camp Half-Blood... Since we got back to the ship," she draws out her dagger. "I've been seeing some bad stuff in the knife. The Roman legion is almost within striking distance of Camp Half-Blood. They're gathering reinforcements: spirits, eagles, wolves."

"Octavian," Reyna scowls. "I told him to wait."

"When we take over command, our first order of business should be to load Octavian into the nearest catapult and fire him as far away as possible," Frank makes a face.

"That can be arranged," Ara crosses her arms. "But if Reyna is meant to take the statue, she can't do it alone. Some of us must go with her, to ensure the quest succeeds."

The thought of parting ways isn't happy, but they know Ara's right. Reyna can't transport the statue alone, and they can't spare the ship. "You're not going," Leo says, almost like an order.

Ara frowns. "Excuse me?"

Reyna intervenes. "Valdez is right. Your place is in the main quest."

"My place is wherever I say it is," she replies stubbornly. "Besides, Romans and Greeks here means a Roman and a Greek should go on your quest to keep things even."

"Yeah, but you're the Strategus, we need you for the big fight. I should go with Reyna," Frank says. "If I'm a praetor, I should go. Maybe we could rig some sort of sled, or—"

"No, Frank Zhang. I hope we will work side by side in the future, but for now your place is with the crew of this ship. You are one of the seven of the prophecy."

"I'm not," Nico points out.

"Nico—" Hazel starts, but he interrupts her.

"I'll go with Reyna. I can transport the statue with shadow-travel."

"Uh..." Percy frowns. "I mean, I know you just got all eight of us to the surface, and that was awesome. But a year ago you said transporting just yourself was dangerous and unpredictable. A couple of times you ended up in China. Transporting a forty-foot statue and two people halfway across the world—"

"I've changed since I came back from Tartarus," Nico says, unable to control his hostility towards the boy.

"Nico," Jason tries, "we're not questioning your power. We just want to make sure you don't kill yourself trying."

"I can do it. I'll make short jumps—a few hundred miles each time. It's true, after each jump I won't be in any shape to fend off monsters. I'll need Reyna to defend me and the statue," he locks eyes with Ara. "Please, trust me."

"My young brigadier, I trust you with my life." He scowls at her sarcasm, but Ara sees his soul light faintly glowing. "Nico is Greek and one of the best warriors I've had the pleasure to have under my command," Ara concedes.

"Very well," Reyna fixes her posture. "But there will be many monster attacks. I would feel better taking a third person."

"Coach Hedge," Frank offers quickly.

"Uh, what, Frank?"

"A satyr is of great importance in a quest, Percy," Ara intervenes quickly. "Hedge knows medicine, he's a good fighter and a good protector—Besides, the demigods under his care always reach camp in one piece."

"The coach is the best choice," Frank insists. "The only choice. He'll get the job done."

"A faun," Reyna raises a brow.

"Satyr! And, yeah, I'll go. Besides, when you get to Camp Half-Blood, you'll need somebody with connections and diplomatic skills to keep the Greeks from attacking you. Just let me go make a call—er, I mean, get my baseball bat."

As he hurries out of the scene giving them a brief but grateful look, Ara takes his seat next to Leo. "So that's settled! Mr Firecracker, can you pass me a drink?"

Leo hands her a plate of food and a juice box. Nico gets up and dusts off his hands. "I should go, too, and rest before the first passage. We'll meet at the statue at sunset."

"Nuh-uh!" Ara tosses him a wrapped sandwich. "Eat more!"

Nico curses under his breath in Italian, but he unwraps the sandwich and nibbles on it grumpily as he walks away.

"What's that about?" Percy raises a brow, mouth covered in chocolate syrup.

"What's what about?" Ara replies with her mouth full.

"You guys are friends now?"

The girl raises her brow. "Nico has always been my friend."

Hazel puts her plate down and interrupts their talk. "We're at another crossroads. The Athena Parthenos goes west. The Argo II goes east. I hope we chose correctly."

Ara looks around to confirm Janus isn't there. She ponders a moment before speaking. "I think it isn't a crossroad, Hazel. We're stuck in a straight path."

"One thing bothers me," Percy sighs. "If the Feast of Spes is in two weeks, and Gaea needs the blood of two demigods to wake—what did Clytius call it? The blood of Olympus? Then aren't we doing exactly what Gaea wants, heading to Athens? If we don't go, and she can't sacrifice any of us, doesn't that mean she can't wake up fully?"

"Percy, prophecies cut both ways," Annabeth holds his hand. "If we don't go, we may lose our best and only chance to stop her. Athens is where our battle lies. We can't avoid it. Besides, trying to thwart prophecies never works. Gaea could capture us somewhere else, or spill the blood of some other demigods."

Ara locks eyes with Leo. "Talking about prophecies... You need to hear mine."

Percy's expression shifts and she can almost hear his heart stopping. "You got a prophecy?"

"The General's ready for her sharing-is-caring session?" Piper puts her dagger away. "That means it's time for dessert!"

[doevademe]

Hello, can I make a request? I don't know if you know the new anime Buddy Daddies, one of the main characters reminds me a lot of Nico and the other one looks like Percy in personality. Do you think you could write something with that? I mean, two hired assassins who start babysitting a child and fall in love. PS: Sorry for my bad English

"Is it really that hard?" Percy asked curiously as he watched Nico mutter angrily.

"It is if you want it done right!" He retorted, pointing at him with the hairbrush as if it were a knife.

Percy would know, he had seen Nico do that just the night before during a hit.

"Is it done yet?" Cassie asked as she fidgeted in her chair.

"Almost," Percy reassured her and smiled warmly at her. "Just let your papa work his magic."

Cassie giggled as behind her, Nico rolled his eyes and got back to brushing. He still hadn't quite come around to the idea of them taking Cassie in, but he still had stopped complaining when Percy called him her papa.

Still, it was their fault Cassie had only them, so it was only natural for them to take responsibility.

Cassie's father had been meddling in Nico's family's business, trying to get the di Angelos out of their area by buying off their goons, and Hades had told Nico to deal with it. Of course, he had tried sneaking out to do the hit on his own.

Percy hadn't let him. Nico was excellent when it came to stealth assassinations, but with a target so heavily guarded it made sense to have backup.

To make a long story short, they were found out, tons of explosions, a bullet between the man's eyes, and a child who only had a letter that said her mom was dead and that the man they had just killed was her father.

Because the girl was very young, had never met her father, and was told she was going over to meet him, she had assumed Percy and Nico, the only ones alive there, were her fathers, and that she got the two for one deal at the dad factory.

So, Percy convinced (coerced) Nico that it was only natural for them to take care of her.

"Done," Nico said as he took out his phone and snapped a picture. He waited a second to see his composition was perfect (and it disturbed Percy a little that it was the exact same motions he used to send proof of his hits), and passed it to Cassie. "What do you think?"

Cassie (and Percy) saw the screen, showing the back of her head had a heart braided into it, falling into a regular braid that reached her shoulders.

Cassie screamed in glee as Percy gave a low whistle.

"You outdid yourself," he praised him. Nico huffed and looked away.

"You just need to follow the shape of the head," he said, trying to make it sound like he hadn't looked it up and practiced on ropes ever since Cassie mentioned wanting to wear that hairstyle to her first day of kindergarten.

"Thanks, papa!" Cassie gushed, hugging Nico tightly. Less than a second later, she turned around to face Percy. "Daddy look! Don't I look pretty?"

"Uh... yeah... beautiful," he said, though his eyes were glued on Nico, who had a small smile plastered on his face.

It was the first time he had seen Nico smile so... carefree, genuinely.

He wanted to see more of it.

Nico noticed him staring and frowned once more, turning his head so he wouldn't see his blush (too bad both of them were trained to catch on to those details).

"Do you think they'll like me?" Cassie asked quietly, making Percy finally look down at her.

"They'd be crazy not to," he told her. She smiled at him "Now come here!"

He lifted her up and started tickling her, making her laugh and squirm.

"Percy Jackson, I swear, if you mess up her braid—"

"Whoops, gotta go! Kindergarten is not going to take itself over!" he said, dancing around him and tossing Cassie, catching her in midair. "Take a rest Nico, you look like a panda!"

"Papa is a panda!" Cassie repeated, laughing.

Percy raced towards the door, catching a last glimpse of Nico, who seemed on the verge of a smile as he whispered, "idiot," fondly.

Percy couldn't help but worry sometimes that maybe Nico was right, that having two assassins as parents might mess up the little girl.

But seeing her laugh and smile, seeing Nico relax and be more than just a hitman... hell even seeing himself no longer give out fake laughs or needing to fill in every silent moment...

He couldn't help but think that maybe they took the right decision.

[haisuu]

HIII I SAW UR REQUEST R OPEN SO I JUST WANTED TO ASK IF UR OK WITH ME ASKING IF I COULD HAVE HC'S FOR A TRANSMASC READER WHO HASN'T TRANSITION BUT WANTS TO BUT THEYRE AFRAID OF COMING OUT

characters I want is:Nico, Ace, Charles and Maybe david

but if u want one you could go for nico

ALSO NO PRESSURE!!

Comforting Comings

Nico; Ace; Charles; David x Reader (Seperate)

Hello! Thank you for requesting anon! I hope this lives up to your expectations!

Notes: This’ll sort of be friends to lovers I guess? Like you’re both great friends but want to be more. Also, This’ll take place in the killing game. I also don’t have much experience writing for transmasc or transfemme so sorry if this isn’t very accurate!

Extra: He/They pronouns; Friends to Lovers; Nickname of ‘Darling,’ ‘Love.’

Backstory: Growing up, you’ve never felt completely comfortable in your own body. So, after changing up how you express yourself, you started feeling more comfortable. You were even going to go further in your transition. But now, you’re stuck in this killing game, you’ll have to come out to someone, so why not your best friend! (and maybe more..)

Nico with a Reader who’s coming out as Transmasc!

When you first come into they’re room to talk, they’re extremely a little worried!

But when you come out they’re SUPER supportive about it!

They feels a lot more closer to you knowing you both have a somewhat familiar experience regarding your identity!

I like to think that they occasionally messes up and then they stutter a lot trying to say an apology!

“A-Ahh! S-S-Sorry Y/n! I-I messed up again!”

(I’m a Nico Apologist don’t attack them)

If y’all do get into a relationship during this time, they’re even more careful/defensive than before.

“D-Darling? O-Oh um..May i call you darling? Rose and Levi have made breakfast, we should go eat, love..“

Ace with a reader who’s coming out as Transmasc!

(I don’t know how to write ace help)

Lowkey, I feel like he wouldn’t completely understand the concept at first-

But once you explain it to him he’s a lot more understanding and supportive, but he doesn’t really show it

“Oh damn, that’s cool I guess.”

BUT WAIT, HE STARTS DEVELOPING FEELINGS FOR YOU!

and then he proceeds to have a mid-life crisis because “loving someone the same gender as you is wrong!” (✨forbidden love✨)

but then he accepts his feelings and confesses then you two make out or something

After that, he’s VERY adamant on making sure people address you correctly!

“HEY?! They’re pronouns are He/They mind you!”

Charles with a reader who’s coming out as Transmasc!

He’s taken aback, but overall not too surprised

“I thought so, I was wondering when you were going to talk about it. I’m glad you trust me enough with this.”

When you confess, he smiles, just a bit, not enough for you to notice though.

He’s very supportive and willing to do anything to make sure you feel comfortable.

At first, you think he’s just being a good friend, until you see the blush on his cheeks. That’s when you start thinking..

He notices your face, and then just confesses to you on the spot.

So congrats! Y’all are dating now!

“Y/n, I love you, and I know these are hard times, but I’ll do anything to make you happy.”

David with a reader coming out as Transmasc!

Even if he’s a little insane, he makes you feel so loved!

As you talk to him, he listens very attentively.

Truthfully, in the back of his mind, he thinks about using this to manipulate you somehow.

But then, he decides against it. You’re too important to him. Wait, What?!

Oh no, he’s fallen in love! This wasn’t suppose to happen. But maybe, he can come to terms with this.

“Oh, Y/n, I love you no matter your gender. You’re beautiful!”

If you start feeling insecure, he’ll smother you with kisses and cuddle you like there’s no tomorrow.

“Y/n, I want you to know that there’s nothing that could change how I feel about you, absolutely nothing.”

My first request! Thank you anon! Always remember to take care of yourself. Love ya!

I just finished Ep52 of Hooky (since I am STILL waiting for the physical version of the book from the library, I started reading it on Webtoon), and I am SCREAMING

DORIAN MY BABY <3333333333333333 BRO I LOVE HIM SO MUCH *SOBS* he's so cute and adorable GAH he's PERFECTTTT omg the way he's not used to compliments and the way he's always blushing and PROFESSOR WYTTE AHHHHH omg literally in 52 (or 51) Dorian's face literally turns red and he's like "THATS CHEATING" bro thats my favorite thing ever man ToT omg the way he's throwing himself out there anytime ANYONE says "hey wanna play/hang out with us?' and he's like "UHH YESSSS" because he's never had any friends to play with before and dude was so freaking excited when Nico's friends asked him if he (and Monica, but she said no) he's literally running out the door ToT

UGHH AND HIM AND MONICA>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> THEY HAVE NO REASON TO BE THIS CUTE ARGHHHHHH the way right after Dorian left to play with Nico's friends Nico is like "BROOO NO WAY MY FRIENDS ARE GONNA LIKE HIM??? HE'S SO WEIRD AND CRINGE AND WEIRDER" and then Nico says "Right Monica" and she goes into a panic for a second and then she pictures Dorian and she's like "I THINK HE'S CUTE?!??!?!?!" girl you've thought he was cute since the beginning (well in the middle)

I knew Dorian and Monica were going to be a thing (the friend who told be about hooky told me) and I wasn't so sure because Monica was a bit of a brat ToT but her development throughout the story is MWAH one of the best I've seen no doubt she goes from bratty princess to literally a beautiful person inside and out and i just i love her

and NICOOOO bro what about Nico ??? ToT Everyone is forgetting about him!! DANI PLEASE BRING HIM BACK TO FULL SIZE ToT speaking of Dani, Nico is DOWN BAD DUDES...

Okay well I'm off to go read ep53 now- ADIOSS TYSM FOR BEING HERE FOR MY TED TALKK

[ladylooch]

Hiiii I’m in my AU feels today. Could I talk about Lexi & Nico + Emma & timo? What’re the biggest struggles for them in pregnancy/first few months after the babies are born? How do the hubbies handle it?

Emma and Timo: We see a brief glimpse of Lio when he is a few weeks old through Part 6. Timo and Em get married. Life is good. They are in bliss. However, they are not in bliss when Lio starts teething and Timo is on the road. It’s January. It’s cold. There is snow. And Lio will not sleep unless he is on top of Emma. Timo comes home from a Midwest road trip at 2:30am and finds Emma sitting up in bed with Lio sprawled out on her lap. He makes eye contact with Emma who immediately starts sobbing. 

“I know, baby.” He says, walking to her side of the bed. He leans down to grab Lio, kissing her tightening cheek.

“I’m so tired, T.” She whimpers. “Every time I put him in his crib he wakes up! I can’t even think straight anymore.” She gets on her knees, whining when he stands up with Lio. “No.”

“Babe. Let me try.” He soothes her. “I’ll be right back.”

Emma’s face is buried in her hands when he returns without Lio. He is still in his game day suit when he scoots her over into the bed and gathers her into his arms.

“This is tough right now.” He acknowledges. She nods her head, sniffing. “And I’m gone a lot.” She shoves her nose into his suit jacket. “But you are doing an amazing job.” He kisses her hair. “I am so grateful for you.”

Lexi and Nico: These two were born to be parents.They just slipped right into parenthood like nothing was hard. Lucie slept through the night immediately. She did great at feedings. She was perfect. Nico and Lexi co-parent and communicate so well.

Lexi had a hard time with feeling beautiful after Lucie. We see some of that in the previous blurbs when she talked to Em about being nervous to have sex again. Also when they finally do have sex and she almost wants to back out because she is insecure about her looks. Nico is having none of it. He is constantly reaffirming how beautiful she is. He urges her to stop working out so hard when she gets the green light. Her insecurities effects her appetite. He is constantly shoving food in her hands when she is nursing Lexi. Once and a while, he takes a special trip to a bakery in Manhattan after practice to get a cupcake they shared on one of their early dates. He knows how much she loves that cream cheese frosting.

“I shouldn’t eat this.” Lexi says from the couch, holding the dessert above their nursing daughter.

“Baby, that’s your favorite. And you deserve that cupcake… been doing such a good job taking care of our baby.”

“Yeah, but it’s going to take me forever to run this off on the treadmill.”

“You are perfect. Eat the cupcake.”

Lexi has one bite and then insists that is enough. Nico can’t help but frown as he puts it back into it’s container for a different time.

Thankfully, Nico and Timo have each other. They spend plenty of time navigating parenthood together- on the plane, in the locker room, during morning skates when they’re flipping the puck back and forth.

“You having sex with your wife again?” Timo smirks at Nico.

“Yeah.” Nico grins wildly back at him, not even blushing about the things he did to Lexi before he left. He can still taste a bit of her. 

“Me too.” Nico scoffs, still irked at hearing about him and his sister.

“Lio is basically two.”

“Yeah, but I pissed your sister off two days before we left and she knows how to hold a grudge. Had to get real creative with Lee and swoon her off her feet again with a mommy and boys date night.” Timo bats the puck down with the blade of his stick. 

“Good. You should do that even without being in trouble.” Timo rolls his eyes.

“I treat her like a queen. And you know it.”

“Yeah. She’s lucky.” 

“Now if I could just convince her to get pregnant again.” 

“Like I told Em, I’m staying out of that one.”

“She talked to you!?” 

“She tried.” Nico emphasizes. “I’m not getting involved.” Timo frowns.

“Bring Luc over tomorrow for our day off. That helps.”

“No.”

“Fine. I’ll ask your wife instead.” 

Nico rolls his eyes, knowing not even his adorable daughter is going to work on his obstinate sister.

▵ tell you soul and ϟ fucked up with a devilish mouth when Luke cannonballs in while they’re making out!! I’ve always wanted to know if they like end up hooking up again or if there are underlying feelings and they end up together??? - @/carouselstars (Annie ♥️)

Thank you so much!!

▵ pick a fic and I’ll tell you my favorite line

For Tell your soul just !!! This one required much hand holding to get posted so I'm glad you liked it!

Regarding my fave line, it's very hard ngl my favourite scene is the edelweiss one, for sure, but regarding lines... It's probably split between these two (under the cut in case any of you don't want spoilers!)

"He feels cracked open, split down the middle, gooey insides spilling between his fingers, and he doesn’t understand, how there aren’t more people making the world bloom around them, if this is what it feels like to kiss someone like Jesper, for whom Nico might give everything."

I don't really edit fics, what I get in the first complete pass is probably 90% of what you will find in the finished version, but scenes might get written and rewritten many times before I'm able to move onto the next one. Some lines stick with me through the process, though, and this was one of them for the ending. No matter how many times I wrote it, this was always what it was going to be reduced to, at its most basic, Nico so in love with Jesper he understands why his feelings were all over the place.

The other line is this one: "They are also the first flowers to appear on a pot, not grow all over the place, and that sticks with Nico, for some reason, has him thinking of what it’d take, for him to care after them."

It's not my best line, the most evocative one, not by a long shot, but I still think it's important, because all the other flowers were static, a reflection of Jesper's feelings at a given moment, and while Nico kept them and cherished them, this is the moment where he starts to think it's not an accident, and he starts to allow himself to think that he might be able to give back, because love can't survive on its own, not without care and nurturing. This is the moment he thinks "maybe this isn't just something that's happening to Jesper, and I too can do something about it"

I'm just honestly really fond of the balcony scene :')

ϟ tell me what moment/scene in [Fucked up with a devilish mouth] made you sicko in the window.jpg to read and i’ll tell you which scene made me feel that way to write

Writing Luke literally dousing them with cold water while they were making out was extremely fun to write, and the moments leading up to that, the teasing and the annoying each other was probably my fave part. It took me such a long time to get it right, or what it felt right, because that is probably one of the things that comes the least naturally to me, but i'm pretty satisfied with it!

And regarding your questions... Oh they absolutely do!

It is not immediate or easy, but they do sneak around at the house during the summer and it earns them some weird looks, Jack and Luke being both "could they...?" and "nah Quinn values his sanity" but it leaves them suspicious, Luke moreso because he remembers that moment at the beginning of the week, but he tries not to look at them too closely because that's /Quinn/, no thank you.

It doesn't go much further than that during the summer and Quinn expects it to be some kind of temporary insanity that took over them but that'll be seasonal at worst, except then Trevor keeps texting him during the season and sending him stupid pics and snaps that make Quinn blush and drop his phone in the plane the first time he receives one (Petey has a field day with this, makes it his life's mission to both see what is going on and tease Quinn mercilessly about it), and he makes plans for them to meet when they play each other and well. It ends up being seasonal, yes, but a season that lasts all year long and that stretches for an even longer amount of years

Luke is amused, Jack doesn't know if he's happy or disgusted (loving)
