Screw it, I'm never gonna actually write this. So here, fanfic idea for anyone interested in writing it. I've been holding onto it since I was like 16 or 17 and I'm in my 20s now. Someone else can write it.
Adopting it, you can do what you want with it. But this is all I’ve personally thought up for it:
So it'll start with Percy and Nico being adults, they're married, they're happy.
Then Nico gets a prophecy and he leaves to do the quest.
But when he finally comes back via shadows, he's halfway dead and beyond saving, having used the last of his strength because he didn't want to part from someone he cared for without telling them goodbye.
A month or two goes by, it's the day after Nico's funeral, and Percy is sitting in their room, still in shock that his husband is dead.
There's a knock at the door, he ignores it. Once, twice, gone.
Then Aphrodite appears in front of him, startling him, saying something along the lines of "Well, I WAS trying to be polite but that apparently wasn't an option."
Before Percy can shoo her off, she tells him there's a pocket of Kronos's powers only she knew about and she's willing to give it to Percy so he can go back and save Nico. Not out of kindness, but because it's basically like a movie having a shitty ending to her and she wants to fix it.
He ends up accepting, but gets thrown too far back, to when he was 12 in the Lotus Hotel & Casino.
He realizes what's happening, tries to find Grover and Annabeth like last time. But on his search, he bumps into a young boy asking if Percy's seen his sister, and saying everyone’s being weird and saying it’s different years. And Percy feels just a wave of emotion remembering how Nico looked back when they had first met.
But then he’s confused because this hadn’t happened last time he was here.
He helps Nico find Bianca, Bianca doesn’t trust Percy but her and Nico agree to follow him because he’s the only one with some sense of normalcy compared to everyone else. They help him find Annabeth and Grover, who once finally out of the Casino are confused at the two new kids, but Grover senses that they’re demigods.
This time, Percy knows his mother is alive and Hades has her, but on top of remembering he has his helmet, he now has 2 of Hades’ kids. So he doesn’t know what to do there (In other words: I don’t know)
Then when he gets to Olympus, all the gods acknowledge the time change. They want to just strike Percy then and there, but know he’s the prophecy child, and aren’t risking putting Nico or Bianca in that place because at least Percy is mostly guaranteed for them.
So another thing is that this time around there’s no Hunters of Artemis around to pull in Bianca. So she sticks with the trio and Nico at CHB. Whether her destiny is to die or not is up to whoever adopts this.
And with Bianca alive, or at least having a more settled life for him to properly mourn, Nico might end up living life differently.
Nico cautiously opens up to Percy about liking guys (Specifically in the scene where Nico popped into Percy's apartment window and was invited in for cake), and by TLO they’re a couple.
In HoO, when Percy loses his memory, all he recalls is a skull ring and that it belonged to someone he cared about. When he gets to Camp Jupiter, he just senses he knows Nico, and it’s amplified by the fact Nico has that same ring. But Nico, knowing he can’t reveal too much, pretends Percy has the wrong guy.
When Percy finally remembers, he embraces Nico, but stops when he remembers Nico’s closeted still.
Story goes on mostly as normal, but with more of the two together and Percy thinking about their future and how to protect him.
Due to Nico’s fears, they keep their relationship secret aside from Grover and Sally. But then the Cupid scene happens, and Nico tells Jason about his and Percy’s relationship. Jason is supportive.
When they all meet again, Jason lets Percy know that he knows and that he’ll keep them secret.
By the end, instead of the “You’re not my type” talk, it’s instead “I think I’m ready for the world to know.”
And it’s Annebeth being the surprised one (Unless you want to include her in the few people who knew)
Stuff goes on as normally, ToA happens, they’re somewhat long-distance except when Nico sneaks out via shadow travel to see Percy. Adult life comes around, they move in together, get married, and this time around have a surrogate kid.
But the day is closing in, the day Percy has been dreading since he went back to the Lotus. And when it finally comes, he begs and pleads for Nico not to follow the prophecy, who’s about to put his foot down. But then he exposes the truth, how this wasn’t the first life they’d lived, how this wasn’t the first time they were there. And how Nico was going to die.
And at this point, Nico knows what’s going to happen, the quest isn’t going to stop just because he said no. And he would’ve walked out the door anyways despite Percy’s protest because at least his death will keep them safe, if their kid hadn’t overheard everything and now knew their dad/step-dad was going to die.
This was the point where my brain also pooped. Does Nico die anyways? Do the dangers come to their home instead? If so, could that lead to a sequel/just continue where they go to save their kid? Or does it conclude around here? Because there WILL be consequences to them majorly defying fate. And probably some consequences from Percy using a speck of Kronos’ power.
So feel free to do with this as you want. I have so much thought out but I’ll never actually write it.
I also have other ideas I’ll never actually write myself, but I’ll talk about those some other time.
*siiiigh* Stardew Valley YouTube modders giving me a prompt for a cuckold/swinger fanfic with Kent, Jodie, Farmer and Farmer's spouse was not on my bingo card but here we fucking are.
And no, I don't think I will write it. I couldn't do that story justice since my longest gameplays were Abigail and Eliott centered but if anyone wants to use the prompt for their own fic, hey, be my guest.
All I ask from you guys, should you decide to write this fic, is to please use my idea of Farmer and Farmer's spouse getting invited to a random ass, Tuesday dinner at Kent and Jodie's, and everything goes relatively well but Farmer & Spouse are wondering like "ok what was so important about this random ass dinner?" and at the end of the dinner, Jodie being the one to very explicitly tell Farmer & Spouse of how she is willing to arrange everything
And the whole dinner happens in like in a very funny sitcom scene/comedy of errors.
Should you adopt this fanfic, I BEG that you make it campy, make it awkward but more importantly, make it funny.
I only have the idea for the first part, the raunchy but not yet NSFW, which is the dinner where Jodie (Kent is mostly super shy) is bringing the attention to everyone about that being the explicit purpose of the dinner and then snapping back at whatever arguments Farmer and Spouse may have against it, in a very Wine Mom (not very Pam but more like Regina George's mom) type of way.
I could most certainly write a few ideas for chapter 1 for the funny comedy of errors during that dinner but someone else would have to adopt the rest and finish the fic lol also, idk if anyone would actually be interested to read this type of fic so meh.
