NOTE: This post has slight spoilers for the Percy Jackson series, including a character that doesn’t appear until the 3rd book. (Or maybe the second, I dunno) As well as his parentage. I also talk about how the series ends briefly :P
Every now and then, I tend to get kinda down. Today was one of those days. I don’t really have a reasoning for being down, it’s just… sigh. So what is there to cheer me up? Sometimes I’ll bug my friends, or I’ll play some games, or whatever… today, I decided to continue in my quest for understanding of the Percy Jackson fandom. And to do that, I found fanfic.
And I think I found my new OTP. Nico, by the way, is my favorite character in the books. I’m always a fan of the kinda depressing-emo-whatever characters. Lone wolfs in Digimon, whatever. But yeah, Nico was my favorite character from the moment he arrived. He’s got the whole my-life-sucks-cuz-I’m-Hades’-kid deal going on.
SO, without further ado, I rec Family Dinner by Amethyst Grey to you. It follows canon for the most part – even with the Annabeth girlfriend thing that comes at the end of book 5. But basically, it’s a heartwarming series about the dating Percy and Nico having their parents (Sally, Poseidon, and Hades) over for dinner. It has the quirks of canon and still has that fun little lovey-dovey theme that can just make you giggle, especially the ending scene.
It’s a quick one shot, and only 7,000 words so a quick read. But wahhh it’ll make you smile :)
You can find it HERE – it’s been added to my list of favorites! ^^
And durr, if you haven’t gotten it already, it’s slash. As in Nico/Percy GAYSEX. Woo!
