Summary
He pulls Merlin into him, or pulls himself into Merlin, hand to his neck, mouth to his forehead. Desperate to feel something from that mysterious glow. Listening for breath, reaching for a pulse, any sound, any movement besides the indifferent lapping of waves.
"Please."

Summary
No one else knew the boy that lived in a high tower and rode a horse and wielded a sword. No one else knew how brave he was, or how he protected Merlin when he didn’t have to. No one else saw him, and after a while, Merlin starts to wonder if he ever saw him, either. Or, maybe Wart was someone only he could see.
Maybe Wart was only real for Merlin.
Written for Merthur Glompfest 2026

Summary
But then - what if Percy does say something, does ask Nico why he's running, why he doesn't go to Will instead? Asks him, does he maybe wants to stay for a while this time, while they're both awake? And then, Nico stops showing up because Percy asked?

Summary
Percy likes that they actually see each other, that sometimes it's Nico who asks if he wants to meet up. He doesn't want to lose that, and being supportive about this kind of stuff is what friends do.
Even if he also knows his heart jumps a little too much when Nico wants to hang out, and falls a little too low any time Nico brings up his boyfriend. Which, admittedly has been less and less lately.

Summary
Hearing himself speak and seeing himself across the room with his mouth doing something else entirely is a real mind-fuck, even by Percy Jackson's standards.

Summary
Nothing happens in Munjoy Hill, and the film crew clogging up Commercial Street isn’t going to change that. It only changes how much Nico’s friends bother him about his former infatuation with Percy Jackson - former being the operative word. Having a crush on some actor might’ve been cute as a teenager, but Nico grew out of it a long time ago, and anyway what do they think is going to happen? It’s not like Nico’s going to run into him on the street or something - real life isn’t like the movies.

Summary
The horse that might not be an actual horse cranes its neck all the way around to - seemingly - stare at Merlin. It’d be quite funny to watch, actually, if it wasn’t for the clear, conscious contact of its milky eyes. Or Arthur’s hand being stuck to it. Or its voice.
“Oh. This is interesting.”

“Oh look, the new kid is back.”
Merlin freezes. Someone is in the sex lavatory. Someone is in the sex lavatory where he also is, banging around into walls and not hearing anyone open the door. How did he not hear them open the door?

Summary
If Perseus were human, this would be patent desire. If he were human, the rough palm laid on Nico’s face, seeming to suck at his skin as Perseus pushes up from the water between Nico’s knees and leans over him, staring with those huge, strange eyes, would be blatant affection.
Perseus isn’t human, but Nico is, and so is prone to forgetting why that would make any difference.

Summary
Percy sighs, envious of how peaceful Nico looks out there when his own heart is in his throat every time he picks up his skateboard in this place. Then he realizes he’s probably been staring for a borderline creepy amount of time at this point, which is of course the moment Nico looks right back at him.
Percy feels a spike of… something in his chest, in that second of eye contact. Competition? Curiosity? Fear? Except, Percy doesn’t do fear. Doesn’t get scared, or nervous. Never backs down from anything, never quits, even midway through a trick he knows he's not going to land. It’s the one thing they get right about him on the news: Percy Jackson does not bail.
So he swallows it, and drops in.

Summary
After defeating Gaea, Nico di Angelo fell off the face of the earth, and Percy Jackson just… fell. Disappearing from the world of gods and monsters, seven years finds Percy with his back to his old life, shrouded in the rapidly fading Mist of a tiny town on the edge of nowhere. Seven years finds Percy thinking it might really be over, all just a bad dream about someone else’s ruined life.
But when Nico bursts onto the scene, it’s to convince Percy to come back and be the leader he once was, to protect those that have all but given up on him from the very fear that drove him away. Percy has changed, and Nico needs to find the hero inside the man the war spit out. The world could really use that hero – the Son of Poseidon whose job is never over. Percy could really use the one person who never gave up on him, to help him pick the right side of the newest fight.
If only Nico could decide which side is right. He’s going to need some help.

Summary
Later, Nico would describe this feeling. But then, in that infinite second, all he is capable of is the complete and all consuming panic of knowing your blood has stilled in your veins. He feels his heart struggle in his chest to move the fluid-turned-stone around it, and listens to his cells scream for oxygen, running out in three… two… one…

Summary
One minute, Percy was on the dock, just skimming his toes over the water, staring out at the waves glinting in the midday sun. The next, he is dripping with seawater with a pitchfork pressed under his jaw.
