#immortal nico

[yonemurishiroku]

something something Nico accepts becoming immortal for the sake of the after generations. Why? Because gods don't change and demigods - Percy, Annabeth, Reyna, Hazel, all of them - could only live for so long. Who's gonna shoulder the prophecies when they leave? Who's gonna make sure the promise to Luke Castellan is fulfilled? Who would remember Jason Grace?

So Nico stays. He stays to witness the change that Apollo brings. He keeps the memories alive. He's where the demigods, old and new, return to. The same way everything would sooner or later reunite in death.

I have returned with another nico rare pair meeting the father this time ft a special deity

Nico: Father? Im bringing in my boyfriend ok? You swore on Styx herself to not blast him to oblivion

Hades: I don’t get why you’re so worried, I would never tamper with your happiness.

Nico: if you say so

Nico grabbed a hand behind the door and pulled in a guy with straight black hair, gold eyes, and a necklace

Hades: NICO?! Do not tell me thats-

Nico: Father, meet my boyfriend, Anubis 🥹

Anubis: Hello Lord Hades, nice to see you again after a few millennia’s

Hades: Son?? A deity associated with the dead?!

Nico: I know every death associated deity from the meeting father, we all live in neighboring underworlds

Hades: DID YOU NOT LEARN FROM YOUR MOTHERS MISTAKES?! HAVE YOU NOT SEEN WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?!

Nico: DAD?! EXCUSE ME?! 🤨😨

Anubis *looking straight into Hermes’ camera recording everything*: I love drama 🤗

This is the reason I think Nico should just. idk kill himself or st. to become stronger.

Like. Those “increases xx% DEF when the HP is lower than yy%” buff in games? You know what I mean? And this time it is intentional.

Just imagine some monster seeing Nico fall to the ground, motionless, and cheering “Yes I defeated the son of Hades!!” and then Nico raises his head, stares at it with blood running down his face “You think?” and proceeds to demolish it.

Basically Nico being even more overpower after death.

One of my favorite things that could potentially come out of Nico being implied to be guaranteed immortality after he dies is, knowing how he is, there is a non-zero chance he could die defending his friends.

Which means you could totally have a scene where Nico is killed in a fight protecting his loved ones, and they see he is dead. Everyone is 100% certain he is dead, because he is. But then he just gets back up. And absolutely wrecks shit. Because he just entered phase two of his boss battle and he’s a GOD NOW.

I just need everyone to picture that scene. Imagine it in your mind’s eye. Good. Enjoy that.

imagine percy jackson, who actually got to live a long life in new rome with annabeth, sitting on the porch of his garden, he feels a gust of strong wind one morning of july 1, which had percy reminiscing about his playful, now childhood, rivalry with jason grace.

almost 50 years ago. back then, he was genuinely focused on proving himself, that he and jason sort of took their rivalry seriously in the beginning, before they became good friends. the way they glared at eachother, the way they'd made it a competition on who'd called their respective pegasuses faster, they way they almost seriously hurt one another because of possesion, and they way they had silly tension on who gets the first seat of the dinner table on the argo ii.

It all made an older percy laugh now, they were both such silly, silly teenagers, but only one of them stayed that way forever. without even realising it, percy's eyes stung with tears at the same time. jason died decades ago, yet the grief felt so new, like it happened yesterday. his friend never got to experience getting old and having grandkids like he wanted to, but percy did.

and for no reason, percy felt immense guilt. zeus was the god of justice, yet he found it fair to have his son die so young. It dawned on him, that the poor guy couldn't even make through highschool graduation.

percy could only hope now, that all of his friends, would together be able to reunite with jason in elysium one day. that is, if jason chose to permanently stay in elysium, a part of percy selfishly wished and prayed, that jason hadn't chosen rebirth.

to all of them, experiencing the gaia war with jason grace, had felt like a movie they'd acted in centuries ago. that's how long ago it felt like to them. but their memories with him, were as fresh as day. percy wishes that jason hadn't died right when they were warming up to eachother.

trying to avoid weird bullshit paradoxes with shifting is so fucking funny. what do you mean i accidentally made her name ebony dark'ness dementia raven lane.

I’m reading Death Note just so I can vibe with this post.

Btw I do recall there’s Death Note x PJO crossover fanfic… I think…?

Omg I’ve been scrolling through @yonemurishiroku’s immortal Nico tag and now I’m back with my crossover bullshit because I’m in a bit of a death note phase again 😭 anyways now I’m imagining Nico as the slowly ascending god of unjust death being sent on one final quest as a demigod to cement his godlihood and affirm his domain by wreaking havoc on Light in retaliation for all the souls he took. I just need him to hear light calling himself a god, I need it.

I also need for him to talk to Beyonds ghost and search out L, but that’s a different matter entirely.

[bright-eyes-strawberry-lies]

We know Thalia threw Percy under the bus by making sure he'd be the prophecy child instead of her...but Percy wasn't able to do that to Nico even if he wanted to. He has no option to be immortal. The prophecy was always going to fall to Percy because he's two years older than Nico and that's how time works.

[avaetin]

Imagine god! Nico personally escorting Hazel's ghost to the Underworld. He holds her hand throughout the entire journey; refuses to let it - her - go as he stands with her before the three judges. And Hades is there for once, waiting for his children. Once the judgment is passed - Hazel is offered her rightful place in Elysium, as expected - he extends a hand to his daughter, who simply smiles as she grasps it with her free hand.

There's much to be said, but none of them speak as they continue their journey. Not that Nico could muster any words; it's not his first permanent goodbye, but it's the last and the most painful one. He reigns his emotion well, he believes, watching with a smile as Hazel disappears past the gates of Elysium. It's only when the weight of his father's hand rests on his shoulder that the dam breaks.

This is the most painful price he has to pay for accepting immortality - watching as his loved ones pass one by one. He's aware of the consequences of his decision, but each passing still chips away parts of his soul that he will never recover.

"Watch over her for me?" He asks of his father once he's able to regain his composure.

His father offers him a rare smile. "Always."

I don’t even need Nico to fight Zeus. I can settle with just Nico, calm and unafraid, looking right into Zeus’ freezing blue eyes, saying “You’re scared of me.”

[yonemurishiroku]

That’s why I kill him off and make him immortal at 15.

nico really got me pulling a rick-w-percy jackson move on him bc i really cant allow him to grow older than 15 it's against the law

[pardon-me-what-the-fuck]

Im suddenly imagining how awkward it would be if lukezag and connico not knowing the other is dating accidentally met up in the underworld. I imagined the scenario as

Nico: LUKE?!

Luke: KID?!

Zagreus and Connor just looked at eachother quietly

Nico turning to Zag: I thought you had better taste?!

Luke: Mind your mouth I am a hot piece of ass!

Connor, laughing maniacally : Family dinner is gonna be sooo fucking awkward huh?!

Zagreus just questions his life

And Hades? Well…

Hades: Look im glad you both found someone but those it have to be those Hermes spawns?

Zag n Nico: Well, they can be helpful in the underworld?

Zag: Luke can train soldiers alongside Nico?

Nico: No, but Connor is a psychopomp so he can help Thanatos?

Hades: Fine.

Persephone: Congratulations dear, you got yourself 2 troublemaker son in laws

My name is Nico darkn’ess dementia di Angelo and I have ebony black hair which is NOT where I got my name, I got it from my grampa 😡😡😡

🗣️Hi my name is Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way and I have long ebony black hair (that’s how I got my name) with purple streaks and red tips that reaches my mid-back and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Amy Lee (AN: if u don’t know who she is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to Gerard Way but I wish I was because he’s a major fucking hottie

My unpopular opinion abt PJO tv is that I LOVE that the gods are way sillier (and dumb) than the books

[yonemurishiroku]

Forever metal about the fact that Nico might be Cupid’s and Anklys’ favourite. No matter how toxic and mentally-damaging that means.

do you think nico and hades are cool with each other these days? would hades helo Nico if nico really needeed it?

Oh absolutely - I think their interactions in HoO (and again, see my like 5 different posts about Nico being guaranteed immortality after his death by Hades) pretty solidly confirm that. Them being on solidly good terms seems to start during the Battle of Manhattan - when Nico brings reinforcements in the form of Hades, Persephone, and Demeter. They seem to have mostly sorted out their disagreements and understand where each other are at, and by the end of TLO we see them generally being on good terms. By HoO they're actively communicating more, we see Hades giving Nico advice, offering him reassurance in BoO, etc etc.

I'd even go so far as to say Nico seems to also be on relatively good terms with Persephone now as well. Heck in TLO he even seemed on decent terms with Demeter, which is kind of fascinating in my opinion since we really only see them somewhat interact once.

Nico's really interesting in that regard to me because he's probably the demigod who is on good terms with the most deities we know of, or at least those deities view him favorably even if Nico is iffy on them. He's on good terms with his dad and step-mom, and seems to be on decent terms with Demeter. He's explicitly friends with Apollo and Hestia. If you want to count Iapetus/Bob, Nico is friends with him too. Dionysus is literally his therapist. Heck, Cupid even has a personal interest in him for whatever reason and after beating him up basically goes "good job, kid!" and it's implied they met a long time ago and HoH isn't their first interaction. Achlys (while being ominous) says Nico is "perfect" (because of his suffering, but at the same time she says it in a way that seems to be that she's praising that attribute of his and doesn't attack him or anything. So I like to go out on a limb and say she views Nico favorably). There's some implication that while Nico is personally iffy on the Hunters they don't view him negatively. And according to Un Natale Mezzosangue Nico is on even friendly terms with the Etruscan god Charu.

But yeah, re: your question, it is basically canon already that Hades would help out Nico if he's able to and Nico needs it.

[westanovencleaner]

ok but how funny would it have been if nico held percy in the Styx like how thetis held achilles instead of nico telling percy to hold onto his mortal point
