AO3 Masterlist
Here are some of my favorites;
some invisible string tying you to me • JackNico • 32.4k words • Completed
That panic comes the next morning, as Jack was sure it would, when he wakes up with a pounding migraine and Nico’s arm slung over his waist, his warm breath coming in steady puffs at the nape of Jack’s neck.
Jack coming to terms with his feelings for Nico and dealing with the internalized homophobia that comes with that.
is it over now? • JackNico • 24.9k words • 2 part series • Completed
at least i had the decency to keep my nights out of sight • 8.8k words
“I’m not angry with you,” Jack whispers on a sigh. He squeezes his eyes shut like it’ll be easier to admit if he can’t see Luke, if he can pretend he’s speaking to no audience but the air around them. “I just thought if we started winning you’d care.” Or; Luke’s first season in the show doesn’t go quite the way he expected it to.
say the one thing i’ve been wanting • 16.1k words
“I’m not angry with you.” Jack can’t be, refuses to be. He closes his eyes, knowing this is something he needs to say, but taking the coward’s way out, incapable of meeting Luke’s eyes as he utters, “I just thought if we started winning you’d care.” Come on, Luke. Care, just a little bit. For me? He wants to beg. Or; Luke’s rookie season doesn’t go quite the way Jack was expecting it to.
Jack & Luke’s struggles navigating Luke’s rookie season— one part in each of their perspectives.
cursing my name, wishing i’d stayed • JackNico • 21.2k words • Completed
“I made you tea.”
Nico snorts. “You made me tea for a fight?”
It feels— it feels normal. Like they’re a couple and Nico’s in the mood to not take anything Jack says seriously. And that’s a dangerous thing, crossing Jack’s wires and blurring the lines. “Yeah,” Jack says quietly. “Can you sit down?”
Career ending injuries, kid fic, break up (with a happy ending!)
smoke billows from my ships in the harbor (people look at me like i’m a monster) • JackNico • 58k words • Completed
Nico hates sirens with every fiber of his being. So Jack absolutely cannot be a siren.
The Siren AU
no grave can hold my body down, i’ll crawl home to [him] • JackNico • 117.8k words • Completed
Jack’s voice is wobbling. He thinks he might start crying, actually. Can feel it bubbling up in the back of his throat, behind his eyes.
“I want everything with you,” Nico admits quietly, almost sad about it.
is you’re a spark in the dark and my clothes all caught aflame you should feel how i feel when somebody says your name i’m a car speeding down the boulevard without a brake and i want you more than any stupid song could ever say i’m a heart made of wax and i’m melting in the sun i’m a thread on your shirt that is coming undone i feel right i feel wrong i feel totally insane and i want you more than any stupid song could ever say too long to be a fic title? asking for a friend…
this is pretty serious so feel free to ignore, but I figured I would send it in because you have written beautiful stuff along these lines before. nico/jack beginning (or maintaining) a relationship/sex life when jack is a survivor of sexual assault. your nico always creates the most beautiful space for his jack <333
figured since the devils have reached yet another off-season & i’ve been struggling to find inspiration to write, i would fall back on my off-season prompts from last year
so sorry for the absurdly long wait & thanks so much for your patience
everybody’s asleep, let’s talk about it | 9.3k words
Nico leans over to nudge his knee against Jack’s, Jack jolts so violently that Nico draws back on instinct, worried that he’s hurt him.
“Are you okay?” He asks quietly, reaching over before he thinks better of it, wondering what other bruises Jack has hiding underneath the oversized hoodie and sweatpants he’s wearing.
My hope for whoever is reading this is that your life starts making sense and coming together. I hope the good days are right around the corner for you.
After we got some great fics, webweaves & art (digital AND physical!) last year, we thought we'd give running this fest for another year a go! Last year felt a little tight, so this year fics/art/etc won't be due until the beginning of the regular season in September (& because we all need something to occupy our off season;)!)
As with last year, the work you submit can be absolutely anything, as long as it's Devils centric and original. The idea is for this to be a fun, stress free fest to encourage content and community in our little corner of fandom 🏒 Whether you're an experienced fandom creator or you just want to dip your toe into writing, video editing, art, web weaves etc, this is the fest for you! No theme means you can create whatever you like and there's no minimum/maximum needed for words or time spent creating.

Normalize leaving unhinged comments on ao3 fics you like. I'm tired of being the only one brave enough to write "I am chewing on this fic" in the comment section. Be weird. Authors will love you for it
