I have so many memes but I felt it necessary to share this one to the void as it is important to me in this sub genre.

Original Summary by layabout:

“Well, fuck.” Mysterious Stranger says, shaking his head in mock-regret. He pauses, and then extends a hand. “Nico di Angelo.”

Harry tilts his head, and then shakes his hand. It’s rougher than his own, he notices in surprise, every inch calloused and scarred. He looks so delicate; Harry can tell he isn’t. “Harry Potter. You new?”

“Mmm. Sort of.” Nico says, and then laughs. “You carry death like a shroud, ever noticed that?”

Nico/Harry has a lot of potential and this story explores it well! Nico's character feels real for where he is in life and Harry's interactions are well done and in character.

Original Summary by be_the_trash on Ao3:

When a weird Archway with a mysterious veil inside appeared in the Underworld, Nico was suspicious. When a man fell through, Nico knew he had to save him. But should he trust the veil? He didn’t know what it was. A portal? And how did the man get through alive, even if it was barely?

Oh this is a fun one. Very in character for all involved and the premise is original and well done. Just a one shot but 10/10 would recommend.

Original Summary by the hard to find @dragmewithyoutonirvana:

Harry Potter is a nobody, and he will probably continue to be a nobody for the rest of his life.

But maybe, there’s something waiting for him just around the corner. Maybe it’s not what he wants, but it’s coming for him all the same.

Prepare yourself, Harry Potter, godling. Your path will not be easy.

I am generally pretty hesitant about AUs that have any major HP characters as demigods, but this one blew all others out of the water! The chaos of the trio as English demigods trying to make it to camp is an original concept, and the hook for the sequel and writing are well done.

Original Summary:

“We’re getting you out of here, okay?” Percy was sure that Draco was conscious, but he seemed too deep in his fear to register Percy's words. His arms trembled in front of his face. He was holding his breath, trying to hear each step that brought Percy and Nico closer. His entire body was tensed as if he was waiting for them to get close enough to kick him in the gut.

OR Draco gets rescued from Bellatrix by demigods who don't know about the wizarding world.

Nico gets kidnapped by the Order of the Phoenix who mistakes him for a powerful Death Eater.

My current favorite, active updates and a stellar premise. Nico's character and powers are very well portrayed here, and the Order interactions are very in character and interesting.

Thank you @martianmallow for writing this fic!

Another wonderful work I am proud to recommend! Unfortunately, I do not know the original author, but their work stands on its own.

Original Summary:

Voldemort mounted the stairs walking at a leisurely pace, his serpentine red eyes darting back and forth taking in the interior.

And the twelve year old clad in black in front of the nursery door.

("Have you ever heard of the Fields of Punishment?” His voice was high, reedy, desperate, young, young, painfully young and scared.)

Of all the fic's I will recommend, this one remains one of the best I have ever read.

Nico meets Lily Potter II and it is emotional for everyone involved. Work by the lovely @kixaxstyx.

Original Summary:

When they first met, she was seven, and she hadn’t realized it at first. It was okay, because he hadn’t either. She only wished she had figured it out sooner.
