I just think writing is neat is all | her/she | 22 | Leah

[silverwashi]

Spent 8+ hours in a car today to go see an adaptation of the death note musical and frankly i think i can go ahead and die now

Seeing it in person was just gahhh. Like listening to the demo and watching it on YouTube is one thing but being able to see it live was a literal dream 🥰

[silverwashi]

So ive been consuming jjk with a shocking disregard for nuance, usually when i get into new media i like to know everything i possibly can about every aspect of the franchise, but ive just been casually watching the anime for now. Which is i guess to some degree unfortunate because it means all the terms and lore have pretty much gone in one ear and out the other. But i desperately wanna write a fic with Jason Todd going through his all caste training and having to accept the curse hes been saddled with, a curse born of his own insecurities as robin and all the disparaging remarks and thoughts that were ever thrown his way before and after his death.

Like the all caste training is supposed to be about complete self acceptance right? And sure they could get rid of the curse with the all blades but this is actually something he has to come to terms with as part of himself. Because its like when a tree falls in a forest right? Like if youre a good boy, a good robin but nobody around you acknowledges the fact were you even good to begin with?

So basically Jason would be sort of like Yuuta walking around with a special grade curse thats been attached to him since he was resurected. He wouldnt know its a curse because he's not a sorcerer never was and never will be, to him its just an extension of himself. A little robin with flesh all rotted and ripped up with a gaping maw and fingers all twisted like.

And like the people of gotham would know that if the red hood ever calls on robin its better if you dont run. Because youre dead either way. Hoods robin is viscious and he likes the chase and even if you appeal to jason and he changes his mind, well first and foremost hoods robin is insubordinate.

[silverwashi]

If i were to actually write something like this id probably do it in 2 parts. The first being Jason in the all caste, having to accept the curse as a mirror to himself, shrodingers jason if you will. The curse is what everyones made him out to be, and what are we if not what other people think. Like his anger Jason has to accept this curse because its a part of him even if its not.

Then id probably do a more classic crossover where an older Jason crosses paths with a sorcerer who attempts to exercise robin, with Jason very clearly against the notion. But then having to come to terms with the fact that hes grown and hes changed and he cant keep hanging on to the characature of his past self. Its time for him to move on because he doesnt need the reminder anymore. Maybe with some familial angst about the fact that everyone still looks at him and expects his curse despite the fact that Jason has always considered it seperate from himself. Jason realizing the curse hes been sadled with is a noose and then using his all blades, his very soul to cut ties.

Maybe ill work on it for whumptober 😗 set the second part post BM #138 just to amp up the idea that Jason needs to let go.

Just Jason spending years cradling this creature made of his and bruces hurt and finally coming to the realisation that hes the only one still mourning.

But like I said my knowledge of jjk is at a minimum and its such a fun thought that Id really like to do it justice so I guess we'll see 🥺

ugh idk if i even articulated all my thoughts on this properly :p im having lots of thoughts so i dount it

You know what would be even more fun then Nico telling Percy they were together? Nico telling Percy they’re exes. Nico knowing that he can’t say shit to Percy but also knowing that he’d never be able to convince him that they were nothing so he says that they used to date and it ended badly. Now Percy obviously can’t pressure him to tell him more about himself, Nico looks devastated every time they talk, he’d be an asshole if he kept pushing. But he’s watching, trying to figure Nico out, trying to figure them out, how they worked, how they didn’t.

He sees how gentle Nico is with Hazel, despite how powerful he is, watches the lines of his throat as he laughs and he gets it, gets how he could fall in love with Nico. What he doesn’t get is how he could ever break his heart like he so clearly did. He hates the other version of himself for whatever he’s done to Nico, part of him never wants to get his memories back, can’t fathom how he could hurt Nico so badly. The other parts of him need to get his memories back because that’s all he’ll ever have of Nico, of their time together. He needs those memories like he needs to breathe. Pictures Nico, with bruised lips, imagines the feeling of holding his hand, slender fingers slotting between Percy’s like they were made for one another, pictures the thought of light touches and the sound of Percy’s name coming from Nico sounding anything other than hurt.

Then Percy gets his memories back but what he never gets is why they wouldn’t work.

Even knowing they were never together, knowing that for all intents and purposes they were hardly friends it’s impossible to stop thinking about what they could be. And now after spending who knows how long obsessing over Nico he gets him, understands the tension in his shoulders and the furrow in his brows. Gets that they were never together but Nico’s always wanted them to be. And now he’s reminiscing on his relationship with Annabeth and he hates himself for it but all he can feel is a disappointment that he doesn’t even get to have Nico in his memories.

If I’m feeling particularly angsty I would end it there maybe even emphasize that this wasn’t Nico’s goal, that Nico didn’t have some master plan beyond getting Percy to leave him alone make Percy wonder if maybe he would have preferred it if Nico had just said they were together. But who knows 🤷‍♀️ mostly this was me thinking about the fact that a big part of the problem between Percy and Nico is that Percy doesn’t understand Nico, and I can never really think of a way to make him and neither can Nico and I saw yone talking about percico son of Neptune fics and had this fun thought.

Any how every time I go through @yonemurishiroku page i ask myself what bit of pain I can spread today so here’s this little dose of misery inspired my most recent scroll.

[silverwashi]

Actually I’m back on this because I just realized in a perfect world Nico wouldn’t even need to say they were dating because Percy is first and foremost a dumbass.

Nico finally snaps “you’re nothing to me.”

And Percy stutters, Nico of course would assume that means he finally gets it. Their not friends, they never were, Nico is wrong and the 2 of them aren’t compatible but we all know Percy’s an idiot so all he’s thinking is oh.

Because he saw that flash of hurt in Nico’s dark eyes, saw the flush on Nicos otherwise pale cheeks, and the way Nicos fist curled. Nico doesn’t need to say it. Percy can tell(only Percy can never really tell) so Nico doesn’t need to say it.

Percy knows, and Percy stews in the thought of them. In the thought of what he could have done to hurt Nico. Because it’s obvious he’s the reason they didn’t work, because Nico is terrifying, and vicious and kind and beautiful.

But he can be ugly too, to Octavius and the people who sneer at Hazel.

And to Percy.

So of course he’s at fault.

And then Percy gets to battle with the idea that for some reason he immediately thought that they were dating. That the natural conclusion of the two of them was the 2 of them together.

And it makes sense god does it makes sense. It’s the first thing to make sense since he came to without a memory to his name.

Day two | prompt : marriage | arrange marriage au

@jasico-challenges

cordially invited

You are cordially invited to the wedding of Nico di Angelo and Jason Grace the invite in his hand declares, embossed and golden, shining in the bright summer sun. He might think it beautiful if this wasn’t the first he’d heard that he was getting married.

Campers were whispering amongst themselves now, looking his way and pointing without an ounce of subtlety, each holding their own invitations. Jason clenches the invite in his hand, Percy’s which had appeared in mid air before the boy just moments ago.

Jason hadn’t particularly cared before he’d gone white and shoved it into Jason’s hands with desperation.

In an instant he was running off, invitation still in hand as he made his way to his cabin. She is waiting for him when he arrives. Standing at the base of Zeus’ statue. She frowns when her eyes reach the crumpled paper in his fist.

“Jason,” She says “I see Persius received his invite. Do be careful with that. I hesitated to invite him so I must insist he doesn’t lose it.”

Jason gaps at her “His invite? To my wedding? With Nico?”

She looks rather unimpressed with his questions. “Yes. If you read that invite then you know all the details.”

“But I’m not marrying Nico.”

“A bold thing to claim to the goddess of marriage,” she says with a slight warning in her voice “especially when I’m the one who made the invite.”

“Why?” Panic is lacing his voice as he begins to pace the room.

Hera watches his panic with disinterest. “As my champion I thought it high time you married.”

“We’re not together,” Jason stresses “where friends don’t love each other like that!”

“Who needs something as fickle as love?” Hera demands, furry roiling off of her as she continues with her tirade “I tried to give you love Jason Grace and what have you done of it?”

Jason pushes down the indignation he feels at that. “I appreciate what you did for me and Piper and we will be friends forever but we never would have worked.”

Hera waves a dismissive hand “You could have if you tried, but no matter. I’m being gracious, to you and the di Angelo boy. Or do you think the two of you will not work?” Her face twists derisively at the question.

“That's not the point!” Jason begs “Nico has a life to live, he’ll find a great love and only then if he so chooses will he marry.”

“You impudent boy, do you think I do this only for you? What life is that son of Hades to live, misplaced through time and despised by your peers. That devotion, that loyalty it is wasted on a son of Poseidon, no you shall marry Nico di Angelo, prove he can be loyal to Olympus, to your father and he will behave- les he be smote.”

“He- he wouldn’t,” Jason says without conviction picturing a hundred disgraced looks sent Nico’s way.

Hera shook her head. “You underestimate your father. You underestimate that boy. But I do not, Nico is the sort to inspire loyalty, he has powerful friends few amongst either camp and fewer amongst Olympians and that is worrisome.”

Jason clenches his jaw and fingers. Eyes blazing with a million different emotions. “Please-” He says small, unlike Jason Grace, praetor, slayer of Krios, hero of Olympus or even Pontifex Maxima. “Just please.”

“You may not think it my champion but I still wish to see you happy,” Hera claims in a tone that might be empathetic if it wasn’t coming from the queen of the gods. “I would not insist on this if I did not believe the two of you to be compatible. It is happening, no matter your opinion on the subject, the only thing you may hope for now is that you will be a good husband. In fact it is him you should be talking with now don’t you think?”

With a snap of her fingers Jason is gone, standing in front of the Hades cabin. He releases a weary sigh, and raises his hand to knock.

Nico doesn't answer and worry twists in Jason's gut. He opens the door, hoping not to step on any toes.

"Nico!" Jason called out, to the quiet darkness of the Hades cabin. He heard a grunt coming from Nicos bed and walked towards him with light footsteps.

"Nico!" He says again, nudging the lump swathed in blankets. Black curls peek from beneath and suddenly Nico is glaring up at him.

"What?" The question is short but the tone is normal enough that Jason assumes he hasn't heard. A frown twists at his lips. He raises his hand.

"I'm guessing you haven't seen this."

Nico purses his lips and brings his hand out from the blankets, snatching it from Jason's hands.

He stares at it for a long moment and everything is still.

"Oh."

"Oh?" Jason asks incredulously "What do you mean oh? I thought this might warrant more of a response than just oh."

Nico wrangles himself free from his cocoon, sitting up with a serious look on his face. "What else am I supposed to say? It actually makes a lot of sense."

"Nothing about this makes any sense!" Jason bemoans burrowing his head into one of Nicos discarded blankets.

Nico hesitantly reaches out, patting Jason's head in a jerky attempt at comfort. "Dad called an emergency family meeting last night," Nico explains with a shrug, blush coating his cheeks. "He asked me a bunch of weird questions. I guess he was making sure I’d be okay with this.”

“And you are? Okay with this?”

“Jason I was a gay grandson of a diplomat growing up in the 20th century, and then I went and fell in love with Percy Jackson,” His face twists at the name “Honestly the fact that you’re a boy is more than I’d thought I’d get to have for the majority of my life but it’s even better that it's you.”

“Oh.”

“Yeah, oh, but I don't want you to feel stuck with me. So if this isn’t what you want then we can figure this out, together.”

Jason shakes his head “No, that's okay. It’s probably best that we don’t get on Hera’s bad side, I just didn’t want you to be forced into something you didn’t want.”

“Okay then.”

“Okay.”

They sit in awkward silence for a moment before Nico plops back into bed, with a groan. “You can go now, I didn’t get back in until late.”

“Right.”

Jasons’ almost at the door when Nicos voice makes him pause.

“You know I really am glad it's you.”

This was supposed to be angsty but these 2 are so disgustingly in love they refused. Maybe Hera knows that maybe she doesn’t I don’t think she’d care either way. Also I had hardly considered the fact that Nico was probably perfectly poised for a political marriage before being dropped into the lotus hotel which is actually a really fun thing to consider.

[silverwashi]

Day one | prompt : hanahaki disease | warning this is as canon compliant as I’ll ever write(in other words Jason dies)

@jasico-challenges

This Bloody Love

When Jason coughs his first petal he doesn't curse Persephone. He doesn't even curse Eros, despite the fact that he would and has cursed the god over the minorist inconvenience. This time it's different, he looks at the bloody petal resting deceptively on his palm and sighs. How could he ever curse a manifestation of his love?

Jason's not particularly surprised. He'd been having coughing fits for months and they only got worse when he was around Nico. It was bound to happen. Eros had always been too invested in Nico and in a way so had Persephone. In a sick way he's glad for it all. A physical manifestation of his love. Proof of his devotion to the boy. He knows Nico wont see it that way. Most people don't. Most people think of the blooms as a disease, the Aphrodite cabin thinks of them as a gift and Jason’s inclined to agree.

Jason used to think loving Nico was as easy as breathing, at least now he can say without a shadow of doubt that it's much, much easier. He hadn't planned on falling in love with Nico, had never really considered falling in love with any one. He was just another cog in the machine, honestly the both of them were- expendable, until suddenly he wasn't. It'd started with meeting Cupid, watching as the boy stood firm, gritting teeth and eyes ablaze and being forced to divulge his most vulnerable secret to a boy who'd been willing to leave him for dead and a god who would love to see his love be the death of him. After that it was impossible to keep himself from falling for Nico.

It was probably a good thing Hades cared for Nico, that Persephone was somewhat fond of him. Without that modicum of protection Jason isn't naive enough to believe Nico wouldn't be in this position now instead. Persephone and Cupid have been planting their blooms in hopeless fools since as long as tragic romance has existed. It's a collaborative effort that Jason can almost appreciate if it weren’t for the way it left an innumerable amount of demigods dead in a blaze of bloody petals.

The weather has already begun to chill and Jason snorts to himself. Winter will come soon and the flowers in his lungs will bloom in full. Fed by his love, this unrequited thing curled inside his chest.

He has a couple of months still until that time comes. He knows how the stories go. He finds Cupid and allows the god to keep his love for himself, or he dies a cold death once winter arrives. Terrible options but then the last one is even worse. Tell Nico how he feels and hope he could fall in love with him as well. Not likely. He'd never put something like this on Nico's shoulders. 

Not when Nico already carries too many problems, when he's trying so desperately to move on from his crush on Percy, no Jason could never do that to him. 

When Jason dies for Apollo, he’s glad for the fact, let Nico think him a hero rather than another soul he couldn’t save.

Stole the idea of hanahaki disease being a pet project of Persephone and Cupid from a percico fic I never wrote, but basically every now and then Eros and Persephone will find interest in someones love, Persephone will plant the blooms in their lungs and they have 6 months to deal with that love however they please, whether that be forfeiting it to eros or confessing lest they join Persephone in the underworld once her time topside is up. Also I hope everything is tagged correctly I’m working on like 3 separate fics rn trying to catch up after a pretty shitty first part of the month so I’m all frazzle brained :/

[silverwashi]

Any how every time I go through @yonemurishiroku page i ask myself what bit of pain I can spread today so here’s this little dose of misery inspired my most recent scroll.

[silverwashi]

When I eventually get around to posting my white collar x glee kurtbastian fic in which Sebastian Smythe is Neal Caffrey, the glee club pass around Finn’s letterman with every major fail and success in life and it subsequently has a cult like following and gets stolen(white collar enter stage left) I need you all to forget about Cooper Anderson for the duration of the it like I did before my desperate search for xovers

[yonemurishiroku]

Right. Almost forget it but like. Just to be clear, are we gonna adopt the PJO show as ‘canon’ or is it an exclusive book thing? Bc there would be a whole dam of differences and I need instructions to navigate. Manuals.

[silverwashi]

I’m just subscribing to my usual methodology of taking what I like and ignoring what I don’t- it hasn’t served me wrong 🤷‍♀️

[silverwashi]

Me : I just think Nico deserves some therapy

Also me: *the therapist I think he deserves*

[yonemurishiroku]

I prefer Nico’s skull ring to be lost into time and then come back 100 years later as an artifact that decides the fortune of the demigod world actually.

[silverwashi]

Hehehe but wouldn’t it be fun if the ring wasn’t so much lost in time as discarded. Tossed out and lying in wait for the next poor unfortunate wearer. I’m thinking of a Nico coming to a point where tossing the ring is as easy as tossing out a gum wrapper. Thinking of a Percy who’s never seen Nico without it but coming to the sudden realization he doesn’t know the person in front of him. Thinking of Nico, strong and powerful growing more cruel and indifferent as the days go on. Thinking of the 2 of them going head to head and the next demigod who happens across the ring. Not knowing the significance at all but suddenly being pulled into a prophecy’s because he who next wears Nico’s ring shall bring the world right to the brink.

This was inspired by that one scene in supernatural where Dean just throws away the necklace Sam gave him and it never gets brought up again 😭

[yonemurishiroku]

Permission to make this better by reminding you that Nico is canonically the "Ghost King", and if that's not a beautifully fitting name for an obnoxious owner of an ancient artifact then I don't know what is.

Nico's skull ring also has the element of heredity - as it was passed down to him by Bianca, who received it from Hades, and oh isn't that delightful? Does it sound familiar to you - an object kept away securely by members of the supposedly evil family, belonging to the most supreme of all (Ghost King, or just children of Hades in general)?

(Please pretend he never gives it to a boyfriend thank you)

Sounds like that evil weapon a hero needs to destroy before it brings calamity to Earth to me. 🤷‍♀️

There are also many materials to work with, and therefore many plots and I'm not even kidding (deluding - maybe).

It's almost comically easy to re-enact the PJO - as in, a protagonist destined to either ruin or save the world. How, you ask? Well, if I can just make said protagonist a descendant of Hazel (bc there's no way Nico has a descendant), and maybe Nico's skull rings contain all the sufferings Nico has gone through, condensed into one piece of jewelry (bc let's face it. the ring has watched Nico since the day he went astray after Bianca). It's a reminder that children of Hades never have a good ending - and the protagonist has to bear the burden of it, or go insane and ruin them all.

Or perhaps another scenario? - when Nico dies with the ring and his soul got sucked into it, and now whoever has the ring can call upon his presence, for better or worse is for you to decide. He's a specter, a ghost of ancient times that grants you the immense power of a god, but also comes haunting you every time you step into the darkness. He's lonely, and his loneliness is the black hole crushing you.

We can make this into a sort-of detective thingies, if I'm smart enough - that type of fantasy documentary when you have to solve a case from hundreds, thousands of years ago? This time, it's a lonely boy - powerful yet wronged by the people of his kind - who died without anyone mourning, his ghost is in a ring and his memories are consuming power, so in order to exterminate it, you have to heal his soul - soothe his pains, cure his loneliness, and help him let go.

This can fit so much angst in it and I'm here crying knowing the chances are all lost.

[silverwashi]

You always have permission to make anything of mine better, and you’re such a visionary 😭

Also the whole scenario is just so reminiscent of a horcrux and isn’t that an amazing thought. Nicos ghost this dark shadowy thing, whispering into your ear at your worst, corrupting, making you hurt because that’s all he’s ever known. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Akhlys herself who created the ring.

Picture her reverently cradling Nico’s soul imbuing the ring he’s long since parted from. A symbol of all the worst parts of his life.

And it being found by a descendent of Hazel is so beautiful, I was thinking one of Percys because there’s something kind of fun about that but for it to be one of Hazels, ugh 😭

Hazel as a wizened sorceress having to help defeat her brother for a second time, only this time maybe it’s worse because before she could still see him, still see her brother in all the havoc he was wreaking, now it’s just a shade of him, the worst parts, the things she used to dismiss because it was Nico.

[yonemurishiroku]

I prefer Nico’s skull ring to be lost into time and then come back 100 years later as an artifact that decides the fortune of the demigod world actually.

[aroaceleovaldez]

i really like the headcanon of Nico having astraphobia/brontophobia, mainly as like a result of the whole thing of Zeus hunting down his family for like a week until killing his mum cause I imagine that would be Slightly Traumatizing (especially since from his perspective it wasn’t that long ago). But also it kind of pairs as a bonus continuation of the theme with Big 3 kids not handling certain elements of the other Big 3(/children of Kronos) well (Percy afraid of flying [Zeus], Hazel getting seasick [Poseidon], Thalia afraid of heights [arguably Hera], etc etc.)

…But also, like. Yknow. You could totally do an OHSHC with it.

…just saying.

[silverwashi]

Feeling so validated right now- Haruhi!Nico is so real.

Ohshc!au lives in my brain resent free 🙄

People often thought of Jason or Percy as the closest ones to the gods. Before, Reyna had been nothing different.

Now, however, she found herself with her own godly entity. And thus, she disagreed.

[silverwashi]

Nico’s a god this. Nico’s a god that. Yone have you considered- maybe you’re the god? This was amazing, I loved it 🙏

[silverwashi]

Fuck it! Nico di Angelo ouran high school host club au. Also anyone who thinks Will is Tamaki you’re so wrong it hurts.

Apollo is obviously Tamaki.

[silverwashi]

The way you’re actually a genius 😭

[silverwashi]

Y’all know what’s fun to think about?

Nico di Angelo dying during one last desperate bid to bring Jason back to life and waking up a god. He’d left camp in a hurry- expecting to be back soon enough that it wouldn’t matter and anyways the situation was time sensitive, except now it’s been months. He shows up back at camp a newly minted god and people are mad.

Percy as per usual feels betrayed. “We looked for you.” “You can’t keep running away when bad stuff happens.” “You’re a god?!”

Will accuses Nico of only remaining human for Jason. Says he can’t believe that Nico would choose godhood over a life with him.

The others are just various states of disappointed. Nico hardly gets a word in as they berate him. He sticks around for a bit hoping things will calm down but they don’t so he vanishes.

By the time the others realize they were being too harsh they’ll learn that Nico’s only gotten better at staying hidden and this time Percy doesn’t have Bianca to tell him this time.

None of them even know Nico died until Apollo rolls around one day.

He’s dressed in all black, driving a hurst and holding a bouquet of flowers.

He thinks he’s funny.

“Where’s Nico? I’ve heard through the grapevine that he’s a god now.”

“So you brought him flowers?”

“Well that’s what people typically do for the dead isn’t it?”

Apollo listens to the bs they spew and then tells them it’s all bs. All of Olympus knows that Hades was gonna turn Nico into a god when he died. Hell Apollo voted for the idea. A surprising amount of them had.

So he goes to visit Hades. Who is annoyed but tells Apollo where he can find Nico, because he doesn’t like to see him upset. And he knows he can’t just go and kill Percy, as much as he’d like to.

So Apollo would find Nico- still dressed in his ridiculous get up. Nico would find him funny. Not that he’d let Apollo know that. And he’d ask how godhood was treating him, and listen as Nico says he feels like he’s mourning a part of himself. And Apollo doesn’t invalidate his feelings or say he’s being ridiculous, he’s just so so supportive.

And then the rest is history 🫶

Bonus points if you imagine Nico spending the first few years driving around with Apollo and slowly coming to terms with everything.
