WAY DOWN

(Pjo fanfic)

Nico had never been good at sleep. It was considerably harder when his father had just told him he’d have rather him die than his sister and that he wasn’t going to tell him more about his mother. Maybe worst of all was that Percy was trapped down in his father’s “dungeon”. Nico didn’t really know what it was, just a place where torture happened he supposed. He needed to get down there so he could free Percy and they could go to the River Styx. He was sure that Percy would forgive him.

Nico was in “his room”, or so his father had called it. It was almost completely bare, a desk in a corner and a bed in the center of the back wall. He needed to wait to be sure his father was asleep, gods needed sleep right? He didn’t know, he looked out of his window, well it was a glass door that led to a small patio but the door was locked so it was just a window. He couldn’t tell what time it was looking out but could see the underworld or at least some of it. He could see The Asphodel Fields, all the people down there, they were all walking just in circles but he could see one person moving faster than the rest towards his father's castle. Nico paid this no mind, he had important things to do.

He walked to his door, thankfully it was unlocked. He slowly opened it, a dark blue light poured through the opening. He crept out into the hall, being sure to move slowly and quietly. The hallway was smaller than he would have imagined. It was normal looking enough, carpet, normal height ceiling, framed pictures on the wall. It all seemed so normal. It was the kind of place Nico would want to be in, with a family. But he thought if he couldn’t have here, then he’d have to have that someplace else. He thought Camp Half Blood would be a good place, maybe after the war’s all over he’d be welcomed there, maybe that’s where he’d find his family.

That didn’t matter though, he needed to free Percy, he walked around trying to find… a basement? He didn’t really know. Not until in the corner of what he thought was a kitchen a small trap door, he got down to open it. It was old and creaked loudly, he’d need to move fast in case anyone heard him. He scuffled down the ladder.

“Percy are you ok?” Nico asked, worry coming into his voice, there was no response. “Percy it’s ok we’re getting out of here”

Again there was no response, it was dark so Nico couldn’t see much. But there was a clear outline of Percy's body, he was asleep.

Nico looked at the shackles holding Percy to the wall. They had to be opened with a key, of course that would be true, but there was so much shadow Nico thought he could unlock it from the inside. He concentrated on the pins within it, and with a crack it opened. Percy fell to the floor.

“Oh my god Percy I’m so sorry” he said, reaching for him on the ground.

But before he could help him up Percy sprung at him, “Percy what the hell??” Percy was on top of him, it was getting harder to breathe, Percy's hands were around his throat. “Per-percy i-its me n-“ Percy just strangled him harder, his vision was getting fuzzy and he couldn’t hear, but Percy was saying something. The grip around his throat just got tighter, and he could feel the last of the air in his body being forced out.

With the last of his energy he choked out “Percy please.” Just as he was about to slip into unconsciousness all of the weight was taken off of him.

“Now you listen here you goddamn bastard you’re going to leave here and you’re never going to come back, ever” a deep and considerably angry voice barked at Percy.

Nico couldn’t think straight, he was coughing, trying to get air back in his lungs. “Percy,” he said horsley.

But Percy had already ran up the ladder back into the house. “Oh gods Nico I’m so sorry” he deep voice said.

Nico’s vision started to clear. He could see the figure towering above him, it was his father. “Nico oh my poor Nico I’m so sorry” he got down and pulled Nico closer to him.

“I’m so sorry I should have stopped you” he said softly “are you ok Nico”

He coughed a few more times “yeah pápa I’m ok”, he was still short of breath

“Nico just try and breathe for me ok?” His father whispered out.

“I’m ok dad I promise” Nico said trying to calm him down “I’m ok now, thank you”

Nico hugged his fathers chest and started crying, how could Percy have done that? He felt so wronged, he went down here to save him and Percy nearly killed him. He stared sobbing into his dad’s shirt.

“H-how cou-ld he-he do that to me?” Nico said in between sobs.

“It’s ok Nico you’re safe now,” he comforted rubbing small circles on Nico's back. “I won’t let anyone hurt you.”

The two sat there on the floor for a while, hades staying with Nico as long as he needed it. Eventually he stopped crying.

“How about we go and get you cleaned up?” Hades asked softly.

“O-ok” Nico said, still sniffling a bit.

Hades picked Nico up, Nico was much smaller than his father. Hades was probably above 7’ft and Nico was 5’4 he was young of course just 12 years old. The two shadow traveled out of the basement, the travel was quick and Nico barely noticed it. They were back in the house.

Hades set Nico down gently on to the couch, the room wasn’t lit but he could make out, there were a few chairs in the living room, a fireplace in front of him, and a ceiling fan above him. Again it was strangely normal, it felt so nice.

“I’ll be right back you stay here” his father said in a kind voice, hades left the room to the kitchen.

He came back with a glass of water and a brown paper bag with a big yellow M on it.

“What’s that?” Nico asked, his voice a bit calmer

“Your dinner, but you should go take shower” he Suggested sitting next to him. Nico leaned against him, “you ok Nico?”

“Why won’t they accept me?”

Persephone, while looking at Hades: This soup is too hot, I can't eat it...

Hades:

Persephone:

Macaria:

Hades, chuckling: You're hot, but I'd still eat-

Macaria: ONE DINNER.

Macaria, slamming her hands down on the table: ONE NORMAL DINNER IS ALL I ASK FOR.

Time Warp (Dad!Hades)

@demonwithasoul requested: I was thinking how cute Hades would be if he was younger, you know? He's such a rebel and would be really cute, so what about when he saves/wakes Audrey, that takes so much of his energy that the 'ember' compensates, using its own magic to turn him into a child? Wouldn't he and Mal be cute?

AN: This is also posted on ao3, which is linked to on my masterlist.

The glow of blue the ember had cast the room in was gone as quickly as it came, everyone waiting with baited breath to see if the magic had worked.

A second later, Audrey slowly sat up, the tension seeping out of the room as everyone let out a collective sigh of relief. 

“Please tell me that was all a dream,” Audrey whispered, glancing worriedly around the room. 

While Audrey reunited with her grandmother and the rest of the adults made sure she was okay and unharmed, Mal turned to thank her father for helping. She knew he really had no reason to help, and she was grateful he still cared enough for her that he would actually help out anyone in Auradon.

Mal turned, expecting to come face-to-face with Hades, but instead was met with nothing.

“Oh my gods, what has happened to me?” Mal heard a small voice. She glanced down, and standing right where her father should have been was a small child with flaming blue hair.

A gasp escaped Mal’s lips, while her hand came up to her mouth.

“Dad?” Mal whispered, too afraid to know the truth about what was standing right in front of her.

The rest of the room had quieted down, everyone glad that Audrey was okay, and had now turned toward Hades to thank him.

“Is that?”

“No, that can’t be!”

“I think it is!”

“How?”

Fairy Godmother rushed forward and pulled out her wand. She said a quick spell and waved her wand up and down in front of the tiny Hades.

“Yep, just what I expected,” Fairy Godmother said. “It’s been so long since you used magic, Hades, that when you expelled all that energy and magic to wake Audrey, the ember had to take something to actually complete the spell. Apparently, that was your age, but it seems like it was just physically. Your mind didn’t seem to be affected.” 

The room was silent, then everyone spoke at once.

“What are we going to do with him?”

“Is it permanent?”

“We can’t send him back to the Isle as a child!”

“Can you fix it?”

“He’s so cute!”

Fairy Godmother brought her hand to her mouth and let out a deafening whistle. The room quieted once more.

“Now,” Fairy Godmother said, “let’s get this all settled. No, we are not sending him back to the Isle as a child. It should not be permanent. I cannot fix it with my magic because it might cause more harm. His magic is different than mine and the two don’t mix very well together. Also, it seems he doesn’t like to be called cute if his hair is anything to go by.”

Everyone turned toward Hades to see his hair growing taller and brighter by the second. 

Mal stepped toward him, leaned down and grabbed his hand.

“Don’t worry, dad. We’ll fix this,” she whispered only to him. Even though Hades was still a little upset, he calmed down a little, his hair going back to his normal bright blue.

Mal then turned and pulled Hades toward the door, set on taking care of Hades and making sure no harm came to him while he was defenseless.

“Seriously though, isn’t he just the cutest?” Mal heard Evie whisper to Carlos as she was stepping into the hall. She felt Hades stop, but she pulled his hand a little harder, tugging him into the hallway and out of Audrey’s bedroom. It wasn’t hard considering he wasn’t even four feet tall. She really did not need a fight between Evie and a tiny Hades. It would not end well.

The two walked in silence, Hades following Mal dutifully. Mal really didn’t know where she could take him. She really didn’t want to be around a lot of other people because she didn’t need more people staring at her than usual. It was one thing to have brought to God of the Underworld to Auradon. It was another thing to have said god be transformed into a four foot version of himself. And, his hair was part of that height. Luckily, the magic from the ember had shrunk his clothes as well, or there’d be a whole other situation to fix.

“Where are you taking me? You know, walking long distances is hard when you have shorter legs and have to take more steps to get there,” Hades complained.

“Well the ember apparently didn’t change you too much,” Mal laughed. “We’re going to the Enchanted Lake. I’m not taking you out in public where even more people can stare at me. No offense.”

Hades scoffed.

“Well, your flaming hair doesn’t really leave much question as to who you are. And, since you’re supposed to one, be on the Isle, and two, be an adult, I think that would cause quite a bit of commotion,” Mal retorted.

“This coming from the girl who’s hair is bright purple. No wonder everyone stares at you already. You’re not even trying to blend in here,” Hades snarked back.

Mal laughed, taking no offense to what Hades had said. Now she knew where she got her sarcasm from. Her mom was definitely not the type to appreciate sarcasm. 

The pair finally made it to the Enchanted Lake, taking a seat in the little gazebo, hanging their feet off the edge over the lake. 

Mal looked over after a moment of silence and let out a giggle.

“What is it?” Hades grumbled.

“Sorry,” Mal got out between laughs. “But, Evie was right. You really are adorable as a child.” 

Hades’s head shot up and he glared at Mal, which caused her to laugh even more.

“Your glare is no longer effective when it’s coming from a seven year old,” Mal said. “Also, your feet are barely over the edge and my feet are almost touching the water. It’s hilarious! And adorable.”

Hades attempted to keep glaring at Mal, but it was impossible when he knew it was having no effect. He also liked the sound of her laugh. The last time he had heard it was when she was just a tiny baby before Maleficent kicked him out and banished him to the other side of the Isle.

The two went back to sitting in silence, content to just be in each other’s presence for the first time in years. 

The rest of the gang eventually joined Mal and Hades at the lake, luckily bringing food because Hades had been complaining for at least 20 minutes that he was starving. Apparently the ember also gave him the metabolism of a child.

Once the sun started setting, the group made their way back to the castle, plans made for Hades to sleep in Mal’s room so she could keep an eye on him. 

The next morning, Hades woke up with feet and arms hanging off the couch that he had fit perfectly on when he went to sleep.

He quickly opened his eyes, lifting his hands to get a good look and make sure he really was back to his normal self. Hades glanced over to Mal’s bed to see that she was still sound asleep. The room was still mostly dark, so it must have been too early for everyone to get up.

With a grateful sigh, Hades let his head fall back onto the couch and rolled over on his side. Getting up and telling everyone the good news could wait. Right now, he was going to make what little time he had left to spend in Auradon with Mal last, even if it was just sleeping in the same room, because he knew once everyone woke up, he would be in the first car back to the Isle without a second thought.

With one final thought of spending time with Mal, Hades fell asleep, dreams of spending time with Mal in Auradon filling his head.

Sorry not sorry it’s taking me forever to complete prompts. Let me know if you liked it! I live off comments/reblogs/tags in reblogs/etc.

Coming Out (Father Figure HadesxMale Reader)

(A/N- This is something I just came up with after watching the film again.)

You took a nervous breath as you approached Hades’ new house on Mal’s reccomendation. You needed a father figure to talk to since your mother, the Queen Of Hearts, wasn’t exactly the best to talk to about romance. You’d been having some conflicting feelings ever since the Isle kids were able to start attending Auradon Prep, and had found yourself attracted to the son of Rapunzel, now that all the VK’s were mixing with the Royals.

Lightly knocking on the door when you heard the dog record playing from the living room, you shyly peeked through the window in the door to see that Hades was in the middle of his afternoon nap and turned to leave.

“Halt kid, Mal told me you were coming, come on in,” Hades stated, cracking an eye open to where you were glancing through the window before motioning you inside, rising to his feet to turn off the record player.

Biting your bottom lip, you slowly opened the door to head inside and approach your friends father. Glancing nervously down at your feet, you could feel Hades’ calculating gaze on you as you finally reached the middle of the living room.

“Do you want something to drink? I think I’ve got some stuff for tea, though it’s probably not as good as that stuff you get at that preppy school,” Hades offered, making note of your discomfort as he motioned for you to sit on the couch.

“Tea? No thank you, I’m fine,” you smiled as you finally looked around the room. It was easy to tell that Mal had decorated her fathers new place and you smiled at the photo of the two of them above the fireplace.

“So, what brings you here? Mal said it was something you couldn’t talk to your mom about. Lemme guess, it’d be off with your head if she found out? So, fall for a princess? Oh, or maybe Alice’s daughter? Your mom would definitely be pissed about that,” Hades chuckled softly as he rattled off his own guesses.

“Ummm, not exactly. It’s not a girl at all actually.” Your voice was quiet as you finally admitted out loud that you had a crush on another guy. In all of your eighteen years, you’d never actually admitted it to yourself, let alone someone else, and you were terrified of the response.

Hades blinked in surprise before his expression softened and he gently sat down next to you on the couch, setting his hand gingerly down on your shoulder.

“So, a prince? What’s his name?”

You looked up in surprise, eyes wide as you studied his face before your shoulders sagged in relief.

“His name is Ryan, and his mom is Rapunzel. He’s just so incredible. He’s kind, and really smart, and super attractive! But I don’t know if he even likes me! Though he did help me with my science homework, and there was that one time we split a piece of cake. Oh, and when he kissed my hand the day we met, but he might’ve just been being hospitable that day. And I can’t talk to my mom about it, with her, there’s no other option than to date a girl,” you quickly rambled before frowning at the thought of your mother back on the Isle, you hadn’t exactly spoken to her since you left for Auradon.

“He sounds like a good guy, and you’re a great kid, he’d be lucky to date someone like you, I always remembered you looking out for the other VKs back on the Isle. It was well-know in the parent circle that we could count on you to watch out for our kids. And as you’ve clearly figured out, girls aren’t your only option, sure, your mom won’t be happy about you dating another guy, but it’s your life to live. It’s not up to her who you date, and if another guy makes you happy, then who cares what she thinks?” Hades said gently as he pulled you into a side hug, frowning at the tears that were suddenly falling from your cheeks.

“Hey, what’s with the tears kiddo? Being gay is nothing to be ashamed of,” Hades spoke once more with another hug, hoping that he could still be a father figure to all the VKs that didn’t have the best relationship with their own parents.

“I know. It’s just, you’re the first person I’ve actually said this aloud to. I hadn’t actually admitted out loud to myself that I liked guys. Thank you for not judging me, and for listening. I really appreciate it,” you sniffled as you finally reached up to wipe away a tear before you pulled back a little from the hug.

Hades’ expression softened before he gently ruffled your hair in reassurance. “I’m always here for you, and any of those VKs, even if none of your parents are.”

Imperfect Perfectly Pt. 8

Story set after D3, we got a wedding, friends and adventures. More so I just wanted Hades and Mal as father and daughter. Let’s see how this goes. To find other parts of the story search “imperfect perfectly” on my page. The “~” are flash back scenes. Chapter 8 setting: Isle of the Lost and Hades Lair

“Your turn.” Mal whispered once she finally pulled away from her father and looked up at him. “My turn, huh?” Hades chuckled but nodded as he agreed. His daughter spilled out her heart it was time that he did the same. “Well it started out that I was able to visit ya whenever I wanted to after you were born.” He started as he fell back in time to when his kid was just a squirt. ~ “I told ya not to show up randomly.” Maleficent spat as Hades walked in from the hidden entrance to her lair. Hades rolled his eyes as he walked right by his ex and picked up his daughter from her bassinet. He rocked Mal a couple of times before finally turning back to the old fairy. “You also didn’t give me a way to tell you I am coming so this is me telling you I’m coming over.” Hades bite back and hid his smirk as Maleficent huffed out before walked away. The less he had to see of her the better. He was only here to see one person and that was the little one in his arms. As time went on, he kept coming over, and he made an effort to be with Mal as much as he could. He knew that Maleficent would allow for only so long so he took what he could while he could. It was just after Mal had turned one years old that the day had come. “No, no more. Get out!” Maleficent screeched at the unpowerful god with a deathly glare. “You let me see her, now!” Hades growled as he stood toe to toe with the powered down fairy. “No! She’s starting to remember things. I will not have her repeating your name ever! No one is going to find out you’re her father! Now get out of my lair!” “Just let me see her once more!” “You take one more step and I’ll destroy her!” Maleficent warned and Hades froze where he stood. He wanted so badly to disobey, to run to his daughter anyway, but he knew the witch would keep her word. Even without magic she still had the power to kill Mal and Hades wouldn’t be able to save his daughter. He wanted to fight so much but for now Maleficent held all the cards. “If I leave right now, promise me you’ll keep her alive.” Hades negotiated as he backed away towards the door. “You keep paying me and I’ll keep my end of the deal.” The purple fairy smirked as she watched Hades surrender and suffer. “You’ll get your money, but I mean it Maleficent! You harm her in any way and I find out about it, not only will you no longer get a cent from me but I will come here and burn this place to the ground. I don’t need my powers to roast you alive.” Hades warned in finality before leaving the lair, with only his ex’s evil laughter echoing in his ears. He did find ways to make sure the evil fairy kept her word. He had his isle kids rotate on watching Maleficent’s lair always on the look out for his daughter. He also had been able to corner one of the purple ruler’s knuckleheads and made him double agent. He would be on the inside and report back to Hades anything important about his daughter also how Maleficent was treating her. When Mal had snuck out for the first time right after she learned how to walk, he had been so surprised that he was able to see her that he didn’t think of anything else. He had ran to the square where Mal was and it took two of his isle kids to stop him before he ran all the to his little girl. She was so small. That’s all he could think of when he first laid his eyes on her after all this time. It made him chuckle. He thought back to his kid days, even though he had been the older of Zeus and Poseidon, he was smaller than them both when they were young. It was why they always picked on him. His isle kids were protecting the square and Philo was going to daughter to try to get her back inside. He wanted nothing more than to pick her up himself but if Mal recognized him or talked about him to Maleficent at all than the evil fairy would take all of her anger out on Mal. He couldn’t risk that. He couldn’t risk his baby’s safety just because he wanted to be selfish for a minute. Then Brutus came out and his daughter was back in his non-wife’s clutches. Philo needed patching up but it he would be alright. And once again Mal was somewhere he couldn’t reach. ~ “I kept an eye on you, either by my isle kids or I saw you myself, ‘til around you kicked Uma in the sandbox. After that you were starting your own gang and I figured that they would figure out you were being followed so I told my Islers to back off. I still asked them about you, but I couldn’t risk seeing you anymore.” Hades said as he sighed and fell back into the present. It was sad. He should have tried to fight Maleficent more but being on the island had made him weak, made him a coward. “I was always so scared that if your mother ever found out what I was doing she really would hurt you. She hurt me so deeply that I couldn’t even begin to think of the ways she could hurt you. I’m sorry, I’m sorry I didn’t fight harder for you.” Hades sighed but went silent as Mal rose from the throne and stepped away. “Mal?” He asked as he rose up and followed her, touching her shoulder gently. Mal took a second longer before turning back to the under-world lord, tears falling down her cheeks. “The only way she hurt me, was keeping me away from you.” Mal chocked as more tears fell and she shivered with sobs. Hades didn’t say anything further just pulled his daughter to him and covered her in a hug. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” Mal cried repeatedly as she didn’t fight the hug. She leaned deeply into it and frankly didn’t want to let go. “It’s okay, Kido. It’s going to be okay now. I’ve got ya.” Hades replied as he stroked his baby girl’s hair. He did have his daughter now. He was going to be there for her and this time he would fight any one who would try to take this away from him.
