Aspen Tree

To accompany our server-only summer event, Percy's Pool Party, this year we've planned a fandom wide three day prompt event! Each day will have it's own list of prompts to mix and match together at your pleasure.

Your work must be Percy/Nico, in your preferred dynamic for them (Percico, Nicercy, whichever). Other ships are allowed but the main one MUST be Percy/Nico.

Any kind of fanwork is welcome (fics, fanart, edits, moodboards etc), NSFW and DDDNE works are permitted so long as they are properly tagged.

Any kind of content created using AI is NOT allowed.

"You're not actually mad about this."

It kind of seems like Nico's actually mad about this. Something about the harsh scoff and the way he doesn't respond or even look at Percy at all, just keeps furiously rifling through the sheets in search of his underwear. A few subtle hints Percy's picking up on. Now, how to fix it...

"Come on, you asked me to!"

"I, what, you - that doesn't count!" Nico stammers, glaring up at Percy, and well, that solves part of the problem. The most important part, really. It's a glare that's definitely killed weaker men, but Percy's a little too focused on the (admittedly, angry) red flush on his boyfriend's cheeks to be worried about a silly little thing like imminent dismemberment.

I may write something on this but I’m lazy so I probably won’t.

Hey there! Here's what we've got...

How to Defy Fate by @doevademe

The first words your soulmate says to you are engraved on your wrist. Percy hates the very idea of soulmates. He has decided he will never have one. The writing in his wrist is a suggestion, not his destiny. He falls in love with a boy he knows is not his destined, and he plans to keep it that way. Nico used to be in love with the concept of soulmates, so why oh why can't his soulmate be the nice boy who loves him? Maybe something is wrong with him... or with the concept of soulmates as a whole.

Swept Off Your Feet by Librarian_Alexandra

Percy has the perfect way to get closer to his crush: art class field trip to a botanical garden. Only problem? Nico just got stung by a bee, which kind of derails everything. In a good way.

Hidden in the Margins by Librarian_Alexandra

Nico has to check the donations at the secondhand bookstore before pricing them, and a stack of heavily annotated books previously belonging to a Perseus Jackson have him slowly falling in love with a complete stranger. That is, until that stranger becomes a regular customer.

It's A Horrible Day At Our High School And You Are The Beautiful Boy I Need To Get A Gift For by @serene-victory-77

“I cannot believe I’m looking for a Secret Santa gift for Percy Jackson,” Nico grumbled, scrolling on his phone for some idea of what he could buy. - "I bet that by the 16th, you’ll have looked up your person on Google,” Leo said. - “Still, Percy’s an absolute teacher’s pet, I’ve never heard anyone call him Perseus, he’s too easy-going and kind to be troubled or to get caught up in something you’d be involved in,” Nico shrugged. - Nico left the article and typed Perseus Jackson into the search bar. - The headlines were something like a train wreck.

We hope you enjoy! Leave kudos, leave a comment, and happy reading!

It's legit like: "I don't like how Will can be so pushy and disrespectful towards Nico".

And they'll hear: "Oh, so you hate him for not letting Nico die?" "Oh you're calling him controlling for giving Nico chocolate?"

Like, no you dumass - I hate how they have this weird doctor x patient dynamic which is played for giggles but is deeply problematic once you realise Nico is a character who has long-standing problems associated with physical and mental health.

My stepmother did NOT like the way her Libertarian Viking Neighbor framed pregnancy as the fetus "attacking the woman". She incredulously told him this was extremely disrespectful to expectant mothers to portray pregnancy as so violent and negative.

Libertarian Viking Neighbor's response was that people consensually hurt each other all the time, and "there's like a whole community about that, with the acronym the one that starts with a B" And his reasoning was that if the mother was consenting to bring attacked by the baby, it in fact wasn't violent and negative because there was consent.
