once again my friends have written some wonderful fics over the last year!! go read all of them!!

this is the worthwhile fight by katherine @yrbeecharmer

After almost nine years, Nico has finally gotten his life back together. So has Will, in a different way, on his own path. They're both in the Bay, both in school where they want to be, working on what they want to do. And they're friends again. Things are good. Things are great.

So why does it still feel like there's something missing?

“That was a dinosaur. I don't know if we're being punked, or if this is an illusion, or what, but that was a dinosaur. I'm sure of it.”

ever after by rosy @rosyredlipstick

Jason divided most of the coin up into four coin purses, all different colors, with the rest sectioned off into two piles. They'd long since lost the shame of it; we’re basically borrowing it, Jason had said more than once. Once it was pumped back into the marketplace, into the tax tribute, it would eventually end up sitting in someone’s coffers. ... From the rich, to the poor. Nico could think of worse ways to make coin.

what if there were two (side by side in orbit) by @2nd2ndalto

Reyna drops a file on Nico’s desk. “Are you familiar with Agent William Solace?” Nico blinks. “Doesn’t ring any bells.” :: It's an X-Files au!

without a star by theo @stressedanimal

“But,” he continued, his voice cracking. “Even if I wasn’t rescued, I don’t think– it wouldn't have been over. Not for me.” Will’s brows knit together. “The rest of you–we know what happens when we die. It’s not like mortals who are just guessing, we know what the afterlife is. It’s almost guaranteed that everyone here is going to Elysium. You all have that.” “And you don’t?” Will asked.

The Father Dilemma by ember @gatesofember

A year after deciding to stay permanently, Nico di Angelo has long since settled into Ladon Creek. He has two bothersome but loyal housemates, a caring community of friends, and a loving partner. His days have never been so peaceful and he never thought he’d feel so happy. But his calm, blissful life is thrown into disarray when he learns some truly sinister news: Will’s father is coming to visit.

and i tell you that i love you (but i bet you already know) by becca @thebhorror

“Hey,” Will said from where he sat at his desk, greeting Nico as he walked in. “I’m glad to see you’re awake! Do you feel any better?” Nico, despite being incredibly uncomfortable, couldn’t help but give Will a small smile. “Not in the slightest,” Nico replied. “In fact, I feel kind of worse. It’s uh, my time of the month.” Nico gets his period. Will helps (and loves) him.

new this year, i present to you: friends who are still writing fic but for a fandom I don't read but you should check them out anyway:

alfie @lordstormageddidnt

ethan @ethannku

THANK YOU!!!!! i love that fic so much it was so much fun to write and of course every time someone compliments this fic i simply must point out that it would be nowhere near as good if not for @ethannku's absolutely insane and wonderful formatting for all of the social media stuff in the fic <3 everybody say thank you ethan <3

I would prefer some Solangelo in it but I’m still fine with just Nico and other characters

Hey there! We've got some, just mind the tags...

i'm stuck with u by @ethannku

“Um. Why do you need pads? Is Hazel coming over or something?” Will asks, and he’s got that tone that means that he’s confused, and Nico’s brain shuts down. There’s no way he forgot to tell Will. There’s no way. He and Hazel are always talking about Nico’s transition and his childhood, and there’s no way that he forgot to tell Will that he's trans.

Cramp Attack by @sunflowersandscreams

Nico and Percy are sparring when Nico has a sudden cramp attack. It's worse than most.

Panic attacks by Queer_thing

Nico is struggling with friends and it gets too much

They say the sun makes you happy, that’s true enough for Nico by Ellisthespellis_not_sidewaysdesk

Nico is having a difficult day, because of gender dysphoria, and cuts, and eventually Will saves the day.

will it matter, long after i'm gone? by @berrystrawbs

nico was half certain he’d accidentally left his real self behind, that the person who remained in him was little more than a fragment of a soul, imprisoned in an incorrect body, being poisoned from the inside out. ; or: trans nico, across time and interactions

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

(also ik the examples i mentioned are nico centric but i don’t mind what characters are featured in the fic. i dont mind what ships are in it either!)

Hey there! We've got a few of these for you, one of them written by our very own Mod 1...

Clickbait (The Shocking Secrets Behind Percy Jackson's Social Media Career) [series] by Lady_WhiteHaven

Sadly, saving the world doesn't translate into many marketable skills or pave the way for a future career. Now Percy has to figure out what he's going to do with the rest of his life. To kill time, he signs up for a class on using social media. You'll never believe what happens next!

mist you already [series, mind tags for individual works] by starrey_night

An interconnected series where the Mist disappears, exposing the Greek gods and all of their issues to the world, resulting in chaos online. (Featuring demigods with access to the internet and social media, the Olympians being absolutely feral, a government that cannot handle the new normal, and mortals just trying to survive)

Stream Suffering by @frostyblustar

Percy streams a variety of games every day, while Nico streams the same card game every night. Their paths were in different directions, far away from each other, until Nico and Will broke up. Now, Nico is living with him. The internet speculates on everything, but it doesn't need to affect their relationship. Right?

we go to a bridge owned by a goat guy (GONE WRONG????) by @thebiscuitbread

Summary:

Nico: Goatman’s Bridge is THE most HAUNTED place in ALL OF THE U.S., and today WE’RE here to– [Nico cuts his sentence short with a laugh.] Will: Wait, Nico, I thought the place we went to last time was the most haunted in the United States. Nico, rolling his eyes: Every place we go to is the ‘most haunted.’ That’s how you get people to watch. -- @/theShrimpaddict 8 hours ago why is no one talking about the ending???? are they ok?????? 621 likes . 29 Replies or, au where nico has a youtube channel where he goes to haunted places in the US. this is a transcript of a video where nico and will go to goatmans bridge (a haunted bridge) and shenanigans ensue

Plus the two you mentioned...

travel youtuber nico + some guy he's dating [series] by @ethannku

nico has a travel youtube blog, and also a crush/boyfriend who tags along sometimes

Going Viral [series] by I_get_around

Kiss Challenge ft. My BF!! By The_Ghost_King☑️ The video opened with Nico staring deadpan into the camera. “Yeah, you read the title correctly. I do, in fact, have a boyfriend—contrary to what the naysayers might say.” He rolled his eyes fondly, his expression hovering somewhere between exasperation and amusement. “Not all of us are bitch-less,” he added, smirking before pausing dramatically. His eyes darted around the room in exaggerated suspicion, and then he leaned in, whispering, “Don't tell my boyfriend I called him a bitch.” _ Nico couldn’t resist. He grinned mischievously and leaned in again, placing soft kisses all over Will’s face—each one leaving a fresh mark of lipstick. Will’s face was flushed with affection, his eyes sparkling with joy. “Stop making me look like a walking lipstick ad,” Will chuckled, clearly enjoying the attention. _ Or I gave Nico a YouTube channel and made him and Will do a lipstick challenge

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