#solace seekers

in the year of our lord 2021 we mourn the loss of one of the greats, @/makerofaqueen, who deactivated earlier this year. let their loss be a reminder that leaving mean comments is a shitty thing to do, and doing so can result in literally bullying somebody off of a website where they are writing stuff for you for free, out of the kindness of their heart. that being said! everyone reading this is now contractually obligated to leave a nice comment on every fic on this list. spread a little new year’s joy to all of my talented friends <3

“You are the son of Apollo?” the King asks.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Will says calmly.

“And why have you come?”

“My kingdom has fallen,” Will tells him, “My family is dead. I have nowhere else to go. I heard of the graciousness of Olympus and how they are receiving refugees from what seems to be the end of times. I came to ask for sanctuary.”

give me one good honest kiss [6,081 words] [valgrace!!!!]

One second Jason is across from him, lounging against the wall; the next, he’s leaning in, closing the distance between them. And then the warmth is back, blooming across Leo’s face, and he’s worried he’s going to start a fire. His eyes subconsciously slide shut. He registers a soft pressure on his cheek, Jason’s hand, and Leo is certain that his face must be burning.

Jason sits back before he’s set aflame, though, and a smile flickers on his face. Leo’s lips tingle. Jason’s hand is still on his cheek. Without thinking, Leo darts his tongue out to lick his lips. Cherry.

“Does that answer your question?”

“Is it because you like him?”

“Uh, hi,” Will began, “I wanted to talk to someone about fixing up Ramset park?” - A Parks and Rec AU where Will’s the nurse, Nico’s the grumpy assistant, and Percy just wants to be left alone, for gods sake.

tumblr's cool but so is real life [7,532 words]

Nico's not obsessed with Will Solace, the keyboard player in a popular band. Sure, he has a Tumblr, but that was just out of respect for Will's obvious talents and good looks. So what happens when Nico meets his celebrity crush?

remi @pinkerpick (whose art is insanely good that its making me consider the fact that i need to make not only a fic rec list, but an art rec list)

Afternoon Tea [47,227 words] [zukka!!!]

Of all the places he could have walked into--of all the tea shops in Ba Sing Se--(of which there are many)--he had chosen the one that Prince-fucking-Zuko worked at.

Or: Early on during his time in Ba Sing Se, Sokka stops for a cup of tea. This small action changes everything.

“You know,” Nico grumbles an hour in, when he looks at the map and realizes they’re only halfway to the campground, “my original plan did not involve this much hiking.”

(honorable mention: a flashback and a film reel just because i’m trying to do only finished works on this list <3 )

all the things i could do, if i had a little (stolen) money [1,566 words]

Will knew it was finally time. He and Nico had reached a place in their relationship and this was the next step for them. He could not be more excited for it.

"what do you mean doing a heist together isn't a relationship milestone??" - Will (that's it, that is literally this entire fic)

minor child with significance and good kills all the way >>>> tbh i think big three kids are... somewhat overrated, like will’s powers are so cool, clovis’s powers are so cool, the stolls’ are hilarious and cool, not to mention reyna’s powers and the aphrodite kids’ charmspeak. i think of myself as a child of hypnos too, and i think being able to manipulate someone’s dreams is so so so cool and can be so helpful if you need to locate someone or communicate with someone... so yep, minor child with cool powers!!!

cj. why have you infected my profile picture???

thank you <3
