#Fic: Amor in Absentia

[takaraphoenix]

Big fan of your Nicercy and Jercico fanfics(heck I even became a fan of your HadesxPersephonexPercy/ AresxAphroditexPercy ships lol)! I remember seeing you mention you had another jercico fic planned for after champion of hades, but any idea if you’ll write another one shot or maybe a series with any of those other ships? (Also I can’t wait for amor in absentia, cuz your plot description for it sounds like perfection!!) Hope you have a great day/night!

-Avid Fan

Oh, that's so nice of you, thank you! ^-^

The other Jercico fic is Amor in Absentia. and I am happy you're excited for it!

However, I have no clue when that is going to happen, seeing as I'm still working on Champion of Hades. And I'm not... invested enough in PJO to juggle two multi-chapter fics for the fandom at the same time, especially since I'm hyperfixating hard on Teen Wolf right now ^^°

(I, uh, generally don't know how much writing time I'll be having in the near future because I just started a new job yesterday, so~ xD)

As Above, So Below - Series Masterlist

Van Helsing - Kas!Eddie/Fem!OC - Soulmates

This story is told from 2nd Person POV (you/your)

Minors DNI - This fic is for 18+ readers only.

Summary: In order to undo a centuries-long curse, you travel to Hawkins to defeat a great evil and close the gates to Hell once and for all. Unfortunately, you uncover many unsettling secrets including some about your lost love, Eddie Munson.

Warnings (in no particular order): Angst, Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Smut (Specifics Tagged in Chapters), Major and Minor Character Deaths, Violence, Gore, Body Horror, Blood, Manipulation, Transformation, Corruption, Religious Elements, Criticism of Religion, Biblical and Other Literary and Pop Culture References

This story is going to be EXTREMELY HEAVY to write, so I will not be putting out a posting schedule. Chapters will get posted as they are completed.

OC is of European/Italian-American descent on her father's side and her mother's side can be left up to interpretation. She is loosely Roman Catholic and you will see why I say loosely if you read. I will not be giving her a name, or any major physical descriptors if I can help it but her cultural identity is integral to this story.

Note: You do not need to have seen Van Helsing (2004) to understand the premise of this fic. You should, however, read the prequels.

I just wanted to ask when would the next nicoxJasonxPerxy fic be because I really love how well you make there dynamics work out! I also love how well written they always are! I know you mentioned previously that the next story would be called Amor in Absentia, and just wanted to know if that would be coming up soonish? Or if not what ideas did you have in mind for the little big threesome ship? Big fan, hope things have been well for you!

Hi! I'm glad you love my Jercico fics! :)

And yes, the plan had been for Amor in Absentia to be the next, buuut then the show aired and it inspired me to write Champion of Hades, and I am just not going to have two multiple chapter stories that are both Nico/(Jason/)Percy at the same time. And if I didn't start the show-inspired fic while the show still aired, there wouldn't be any writing it at all because there's no point or motivation for it anymore 6 months after the season wrapped.

So the Jercico story got put on the backburner for now while I'm writing the Nicercy story! But the plan is still for it to come after that ;)

[takaraphoenix]

Do you have any new fanfic ideas for Nico/percy, jason/percy or Nico/jason/percy coming up? I loved your last series “legacy of the olympians” and was wondering when we could hope to see your next fic posted? Also, hope you’ve been doing well!! Noticed it’s been a few months since you last posted on fanfiction/A03, so I wanted to check in, as well as ask. hope life’s been treating you well!

Not coming up right now, no. The current plan is to first finish the ongoing multi-chapter fics, or at least another one or two, since I haven't had a lot of free time lately (as you did notice xD).

Though I do have a plan for the fic that comes next and I'm happy to share the pitch!

It is going to be a Nico/Jason/Percy story that will be called Amor in Absentia. The title itself is a nod toward the TV show that gave me the inspiration - Absentia.

Not really taking the actual plot of the fic, but one very specific dynamic within the story that I thought "damn, this would be an incredible OT3 prompt".

That dynamic being: Chara A (Percy) was abducted years ago, declared legally dead. His husband (Nico) grieved and then moved on to get remarried (to Jason). Aaand then the supposedly dead partner is saved after all, returned with severe trauma and PTSD.

Didn't care for the rest of the show, but this dynamic is delicious. Naturally, the show used the (straight, duh) love-triangle for drama and didn't consider how amazing of an OT3 this would be, so guess you gotta do all yourself, huh? ;)

But yeah. Percy - most likely in the capacity of being a Navy SEAL since that is what I love the most to use to legitimate Percy's PTSD and war trauma in a mortal AU - got captured and was then freed later on when Nico is happily married to Jason, but clearly still loves Percy. And Jason, the caring and understanding husband of Nico, is going to accept Percy into their home to help him settle back in (and inevitably fall in love with Percy himself).

So. That's the plan for the next multi-chapter PJO fic once I get around to it! But real life has been busy and demanding lately, which is why every current fic is already... weeks delayed at this point, and with that, it kind of... it would feel unfair to start something new before at least wrapping some more up first? Like, my Buffy fic only has one more chapter to go, for example.

Thank you for checking in, that's very sweet! <3

[takaraphoenix]

Hello! I saw previously you mentioned something about a fic that you were planning on writing called Amor in absentia( I think that was the name?) any more info/sneak peeks into it that we could get? 👀 I enjoy all your fics and I always look forward to seeing your fics because they always make my day and week better!

So sorry to disappoint, but sneak peek implies anything has been written for a story. And this was the plan for my next multichapter fic before I fell down the Teen Wolf rabbit hole. Had I not done that we would be like 5 chapters into it.

As things stand right now, I am desperate to wrap up my current PJO WIP so I can start my next Teen Wolf multichapter fic. I really do not have the motivation or inspiration for anything that doesn't involve Stiles yet, I can not stress enough how hard this hyperfixation is choking me.

The file's still in my WIP folder though and once this *motions at the 37 Teen Wolf files in my WIP folder, of which I literally created three just last night* slows down and eases up, I'm veeery likely to return to PJO and Sh too and when that happens, I will pick that up, but it's not happening any time soon, I'm afraid ^^°

[takaraphoenix]

Hi! I really like your fanfics and I was wondering if you had any new long Percy Jackson fanfic planed for the near future?

Technically, I do have a plan for a Jason/Nico/Percy story in the back of my head right now, but I don't really have the time/motivation to write as much as I used to so it feels a little... unfair?... to start another multiple chapter story right now.

The story is called Amor in Absentia and I've talked about it before, if you're curious to hear more! ;)

I also do have to admit that I don't want to start any new multichapter fic while the show is still airing right now, since adaptations tend to influence your... mood. In both ways. I didn't know if it was going to suck so incredibly badly that I wouldn't want to touch anything PJO, or if it was going to be so very good and inspiring that I'd rather write multiple oneshots inspired by it than focus on one AU. As it stands right now, the show is incredibly bland and not swaying me either way much (Medusa aside), but the season's finale hasn't aired yet so jury is still out.

So, yeah! I do have an idea, but I don't really have the time right now and I wouldn't want to post it until after season 1 wrapped! ^^
