On Your Side (NH13)
Pairing: Nico Hischier & Fem!OC Poppy Jensen*
*I say it's an OC, it's just a name and third person POV. I use minor character descriptions because I don’t get on with writing vague reader inserts/YN for long-form, story heavy fics, but I will generally try to avoid including race and body type or really any physical descriptors. I’m always open to feedback on my writing, or how to be more inclusive.
Rating: 18+ MDNI (chapters marked with *)
Tropes: Co-Workers to Co-Parents, Friends to Lovers, Accidental Pregnancy, Fake Dating, Miscommunication, Slow Burn (Kind Of)
General Warnings: Angst, Smut (marked with *), Fluff. (chapters will contain individual warnings)
Summary: Poppy Jensen’s job with the New Jersey Devils was supposed to be her first big step into adulthood - a way to prove to herself and her overbearing parents that she could make her own way in life. She was never supposed to become involved with any of the players. Becoming best friends with their captain was stupid. Getting her heart broken by him was tragic. Getting knocked up with his child was just plain messy.

Things that were taken from Annabeth in the Heroes of Olympus:
Percy
her invisibility cap, a crucial part of her fighting style
the dagger that Luke gave her, the weapon that ended the Titan War
Daedalus' laptop, an expansive resource of knowledge and ideas that could have rivaled the library of Alexandria
Three of these were gifts from people she looked up to. Every single item she was given held within it the esteem and the love and the trust and the hope and the respect that made them more than just items. They were physical representations of the fact that she mattered to someone, and they were ripped from her hands.
She's never been the one with insane powers, the one who can command attention and respect just by existing. She had to prove to people that she was capable and strong and wise and all the rest, just to prove to herself that she was worth seeing. And having the attention that was given her in the form of gifts be taken away... it would feel like being cut from a tether and left to drift. And not only that, but those items were also the things that gave her something like powers. She learned to wield them, knew exactly how to plan an attack using the resources that had become like extra limbs to her. And then she's left with nothing. She has to learn how to build up a reservoir of plans and strategies again that don't involve those tools. And of course she can do it, of course she's going to, but damn if it doesn't hurt like hell to see everything slip from her grasp in such a way.
And maybe they were crutches, and she's ready and confident enough to step out on her own without that idea of support.. but as prideful as Annabeth can be, wisdom is about using the tools you were given, not necessarily about making your own. It's about knowing when to trust others and let them help you, even if they're just the ghosts of others that have been left in the items they gave you.
Which brings me back to the first thing that was taken from her: Percy. Percy who, alone among the things she lost, has free will, who not only saw her, but refused to stop looking at her. Percy, who could almost have been a gift himself to little Annabeth who was just dying to go on a quest. Percy, who, when everything else was slipping away, held on tighter, who would never let her be all on her own again.

Ok but can we talk ‘Buck 1.0’ for a second.
Before I rewatched the pilot, my memory of Buck in s1 was that he was the kind of guy that slept with girls once, then left them hanging. So it was a big surprise to me to rewatch those scenes.
Because the first time we see Buck hook up with another girl, we also see him ask her if she wants to do it again some time. And she says no.
The very first time we see him hook up with someone, he’s the one who wants more from it, and she’s the one who rejects him.
I’m not here pretending that he desperately wanted a serious relationship with her, I just think that that’s a really interesting thing to point out, especially given the hindsight we have when rewatching it.
And then it’s only what, episode 2? 3? Before Abby asks Abby out. And Buck literally jumps at the chance. Like he says ‘no’, but only because he wants to get it right. Abby’s the first person we’ve ever seen properly take an interest in Buck, and he takes hold of that chance with both hands.
Anyway I just have a lot of feelings about that.
