#if it bothers you that much just blacklist the percico tag

[rumov]

like i get thats it ur life ur opinion but its just kinda weird with pernico? like i love your art of Nico /gen but I just find it to odd to ship pernico :(

it feels wrong to thing that when they first met each other Nico was mentaly phycisaly esc ten

andpercy was 14,

and as a former ten year old w a crush, its more like a "holy shit man he is cool" not a "Gods dam 😮😮😮😮"

like no super duper bad hate, it just an odd ship and it makes me rlly sad my fav Nico artist ships pernico :(((

i don’t think i’ve misled anyone so i’m not really sure why you’d be surprised about this. i’ve been posting percico since march, this isn’t anything new

the age difference seems moot. nico is the youngest in the cast so EVERYONE is older than him. it applies to every ship. will is 2 years older, leo and jason (other popular ships for him) are 3 years older. but it’s specifically percico that catches all the flak. is 4 the danger zone for whatever reason?

also i already answered an ask like this that was way more eloquent

First of all, thank you for blessing the mostly dead percico tag with your writting. Now, I look forward to your drabbles when I check the tag.

Second of all as a prompt I propose the following: Nico gets de-aged to his 11 years old self, memory and all (so he s technically stuck between the time frame of 'after getting rescued by Percy but before Bianca s death'). Percy ofc, loving husband that he is, takes care of him till he goes back to himself. But this time around he can t help but find little, well of questions, happy go lucky Nico just adorable and softness ensues. (Please don't make it angsty 😭)

Percy wondered why Hebe considered this a "gift".

It was true most adults wished for one more day as a careless kid, but without the memories of being an adult, 24 hours as a kid lost all charm.

(Not to mention Hebe had "bestowed" it upon Nico in lieu of actual payment. If Nico didn't have a blacklist, she would be the first name)

"Percy, Percy!" the boy said excitedly as he jumped around. "Can we stay a bit longer? I haven't seen all the temples yet!"

Still, Percy couldn't help but melt at the adorableness that was eleven year old Nico.

It had been surprisingly easy to convince Nico he was Percy, just grown up. The challenge had been to catch him as he ran from Hebe's temple to every shiny statue and building around Olympus.

"Sorry, kiddo, but staying on Olympus requires some special permissions we don't have."

"Aww," he kicked at the cloudy floor in disappointment. "How are we getting back to camp, then?"

Percy smiled at him. He remembered Nico like this. Excitable and happy about the magical world he had just discovered was real.

"We're not going to camp, Nico. I'm taking you home," he said. "We'll take the elevator, and then ride on a giant Hellhound."

Nico's eyes widened and he jumped at Percy's arms, hugging his neck. Percy struggled to catch him.

"That's so cool!" He gushed. "You are so much cooler when you're older, Percy!"

He let Nico down gently and took his hand. Nico blushed cutely as he guided them towards the elevator.

"S-so, did you ever find out if you were good at surfing?" He asked shyly as the elevator doors closed. Percy blinked and chuckled.

"I did, turns out I'm not," he said lightly. "Even if I can control the waves, I still need boring old balance to stay on the board."

"Ohh," Nico said, nodding. "Do I ever find out who my godly parent is? Do I have magic? Why are you taking me to your home and not camp?"

"Slow down!" Percy said. He forgot how intense Nico was as a kid. "I'll answer all your questions, once we're home."

"Home..." Nico said, he looked at their still linked hands. "Do you know... about me?"

"Huh?"

"That I'm not... that I like..."

"I do, you told me yourself," he said, voice gentle.

"Oh," he said. "And it doesn't bother you?"

"Why would it?" He asked, laughing. It was then that he decided that he was going to make de-aged Nico's day. "When you get older, we'll date."

Nico's mouth opened in shock. He looked back at their hands, and squeezed as hard as he could.

"No. Freaking. Way!" He shouted. "Do we kiss? Where was our first date? What did I do that made you like me back?"

"What did I say about questions?"

Nico pouted.

"To wait until we get home... our home?" He realized. "We live together... because we're dating!"

Nico moved so fast he was practically vibrating. Percy ruffled his hair, bringing back his blush.

"Whoa!" Nico exclaimed as he gazed upon Mrs. O'Leary. "Is this your hellhound?"

"She's ours," he corrected. "If we're being honest, she's been ours since before we started dating."

Nico ran up to her and buried his face against her giant paw. The giant dog sniffed him briefly before liking him, almost drowning the kid in her slobber.

Nico just laughed, delighted. Somehow he managed to climb on top of her, and looked at Percy expectantly.

"Come on, let's go home! I have like a million questions!"

Percy smiled. Tomorrow morning, Nico would be back to normal, grown up and sarcastic, the man he loved. Today though, he would be the happiest kid on Earth. Percy would make sure of it.

"Right behind you," he called.

Maybe Hebe really did give Nico a good gift.

She was still a cheapskate, though.
