Jasico Royal AU Fluff Oneshot
Hi! Anon requested a Jasico Royal AU Fluff Oneshot so here you go :3 Prince!Nico + Knight!Jason
this was made with the help of @multifandom-asexual who came up with Jason's dialogue and like half the plot
Word Count: 1430
Genre: Fluff
Characters: Nico Di Angelo/Jason Grace
Pov: Nico, 3rd person
Tumblr media
He’s walking through the castle halls, late at night, unable to sleep. He hears footsteps down the hall and Sir Grace appears around the corner. 
“Oh, uhm, hey Nico!” he says with an awkward wave. 
“Hi Jason,” he replies.
“So, why are you not in bed, mister? A prince like you needs his beauty sleep,” Jason scolds.
He shrugs. “Couldn’t sleep. I’ll go to sleep if you’re with me though. Preferably with cuddles…” 
Jason blushes, and Nico grins. “H-heh?! Oh, um, sure!” Jason chuckles awkwardly. 
“Alright,” he says. “Come with me.”
“Lead the way, my prince,” Jason says with a bow. 
“No need for formalities, Jason. Follow me.”
“Yes sir,” Jason grins. Nico rolls his eyes but as he turns down the corridor he grins lightly. When he stops at the door to his room, Jason opens it for him. 
“Thank you, my knight,” he says with a smile. Jason nods and smiles back. Nico loves his smile. He flops down on his bed, Jason still standing awkwardly by the door. “Are you gonna join me or what? I was promised cuddles,” he says with a flirtatious grin. 
Jason blushes. “Are you sure that’s okay?” he says anxiously. 
“Yes,” Nico grins. 
“I- uh- okay,” Jason says and sits gently on the edge of his bed.
“This is not cuddling. C’mere!” he says and pulls Jason to him.
“Neeks-”
“Mhm! Cuddles…” he sighs as he snuggles into Jason's chest. Jason starts playing with Nico’s hair, and he can feel that he’s still tense. “You don’t seem very relaxed,” he says and looks up at Jason.
“Well, uh, what if we get caught?” 
Nico laughs. “I’m the prince, Jason. Nobody can do anything to me, and I will always make sure that nothing happens to you.”
“You promise?”
“I promise.”
Jason smiles. Nico feels himself getting tired as he snuggles deeper into Jason’s embrace. 
“Nico? Sir?” 
“Yes?” 
Jason leans closer to him, then suddenly their lips meet in a gentle kiss. Jason breaks quickly, bringing his hand to his lips.
“Shoot. I am so sorry- I don’t know why I did that-” Jason sits up, causing Nico to fall out of his arms.
“Oh! Uhmm,” he sputters and turns away, laying on his back. “Uh, I think that was okay, actually…” 
“C-can I do it again?” Jason stutters as he pulls Nico back to him.
“Y-yeah,” he turns his head to look up at Jason, and their lips meet again.
“Was that okay? I mean, I can leave if you want-” Jason says hurriedly and starts to get up. 
“No! Please don’t leave,” he says and grabs Jason’s wrist. Jason stops and looks back at Nico, anxiety painted across his face. “It’s okay.” 
Jason’s face softens and he lets himself be pulled back into bed. He snuggles back into Jason’s chest and falls asleep sooner than he ever has. 
~~~
Jason’s already awake when Nico wakes up and yawns sleepily. It’s still dark outside his window. 
“Woah,” Jason says.
“What?” Nico asks, still half asleep.
“You’re really really cute.”
Nico can feel himself blush, but can’t resist saying the same. “You’re really really pretty.” 
“No you, my moonlight.”
“No you, my star shine.” 
Jason blushes and hides his face in the pillow. Nico smiles lovingly at him, and Jason peeks from his pillow-submerged fate. Nico grins and cuddles up to Jason again, falling back into slumber. 
~~
When he wakes up again, Jason is gone. Nico gets worried and decides to roam the halls and find him. 
He exits his room slowly, just to find Jason coming around the corner. 
“My prince, you’re not supposed to be up this late,” Jason scolds. 
“I came to find you, my knight. I got worried when I woke up without you by my side,” Nico says playfully. 
Jason blushes. “O-oh. Uhm. I had to patrol the halls, I do this every night.” 
“Well, as long as you’re keeping me safe, my knight,” he says and with a surge of confidence, gives Jason a kiss before dashing into his room. He locks the door behind him and leans against it, blushing. 
“Nico?” Jason’s muffled voice comes through the door.
“I-um thought you were supposed to be patrolling the halls,” he stutters. 
“Well now I want more kisses, my prince,” Jason teases. 
“You should get back to work Sir Grace. Keeping the castle safe and all.”
“The castle can wait, little prince.”
Nico sighs and unlocks his door. 
“Hi Nico,” Jason says and grabs his wrist, dragging him down the hall. “Jason! Where are we going?!” 
“My room. My bed’s comfier.”
“Jason, I’m the prince. My bed is one of the finest in the castle.” 
“Yeah, yeah. Come on.”
Nico gets dragged along begrudgingly, then notices they’re not going to Jason’s room. 
“Jason, this is not the way to your room. Where are you taking me?”
“You’ll see, my moonlight.” 
Nico blushes, flustered. “Okay.” Jason pulls him into a kiss then continues dragging Nico along. He blushes more, then realizes where they’re going. “The roof! I love the roof!” He says, a smile blooming on his face. 
“I knew you’d like it, my moonlight,” Jason croons and brings them to the room. 
“The stars are my favorite,” Nico sighs “they remind me of you, my star shine.”
Jason blushes. “I like the moon…”
Nico gazes at him lovingly, then pulls him into a firm kiss. He whispers very quietly, knowing Jason won’t hear. “I love you…”
“Hmm?”
“Oh, uhm, nothing.”
Jason grins. “Your lips are really soft.”
Nico blushes. “Shut up. Do you wanna dance?”
“Ah. Well, uh- I… don’t really know how to dance?” 
“Then this is the perfect time to learn darling.” 
“Y-yes sir.”
Nico smiles widely, gazing at Jason. “Ok, so uhm, you’ll put your hands here…” he instructs, placing Jason’s hands around his waist “and I’ll put mine around your neck, okay?”
Jason blushes, but nods. “Uh-huh…”
Slowly, Jason seems to get the hang of it as they spin around the roof. Nico starts to hum a tune as they sway together under the moonlight. 
“You’re so handsome, my knight. My star shine.” Nico says lovingly. 
“You, my prince. Not me.”
“Don’t ruin the moment, darling. You’re very pretty… now let's just dance, okay?”
“I actually meant for us to stargaze…” Jason trails off, looking at the sky. 
“That’s probably a better idea. You’ve stepped on my feet at least twelve times,” Nico teases. 
“My bad-”
“It’s alright darling,” Nico says and lays down at the roof, admiring the clear night sky. Jason lays down next to him, pulling him closer to his chest. “Can I tell you something?” Nico asks tentatively.
“Go ahead.” 
“I think, I uhm, love you…” he says, his face blotchy with blush. 
“Oh!” Jason says, his face starting to match Nico’s.
Nico starts to overthink, thoughts racing. “Sorry, uhm was that too much too soon? I can just go…” he says and starts to get up. Before he can leave, however, Jason pulls him back down. 
“Would this ease your worries, pretty boy?” Jason says, kissing him. Nico kisses him back gently, still hesitant. 
“Kinda.”
Jason frowns and kisses him again with more force and confidence. Nico kisses back with a bit more confidence, but still light. Jason smiles into the kiss, and Nico breaks away, gazing at Jason.
“Hi pretty boy,” Jason flirts. 
“Hi my star shine,” he replies. “Do you see any constellations, my love?” 
“No, but I see you. My moon.” 
Nico grins. 
“Nico?” Jason asks.
“Yes, Jason?”
“Follow me, my pretty boy,” Jason says and takes Nico’s hand, leading him back into the castle.
“Where are you taking me now, my knight?”
“My room. I’m sleepy. Want cuddles.” 
Nico smiles lovingly, squeezing Jason’s hand gently.  “Okay my love. Of course we can cuddle.” Jason smiles back. They arrive at Jason’s room, and Nico is eager. “It’s cuddle time Sir Grace!”
“Yes Sir,” Jason says with a bow. Nico grins. “I’m surprised you aren’t telling me off for being formal.”
“Hmm. Fair enough. Just tired I guess.”
Jason climbs into his twin-sized bed, making a grabby motion. “C’mere.” 
Nico squeezes in next to him and snuggles into his arms. 
“My pretty prince,” Jason says, kissing the top of Nico’s head. “Goodnight my moonlight.”
“Goodnight, star shine.”
Jason starts playing with Nico’s hair as he holds him. He gives Jason a quick kiss before snuggling back into him and drifting to sleep. 
“How are you so cute?” Jason whispers and holds Nico’s face in his hands.
“Jason, I am trying to sleep. Goodnight. Love you.”
“Love you too.”

Jasico Royal AU or whatever idk anw the idea is that there were two sides to war and Jason was tasked with assassinating Nico. However there was an accident and he ended up losing his memories, saving Nico in some accidents and being picked up by Nico, and later developing affection for his savior without realizing he was supposed to kill him.
It was a cute story, yada yada. AND then one day, Nico found out that Jason was actually sent to kill him. Before Jason himself remembered, mind you.
He's heartbroken, feeling betrayed, etc all that stuff. And of course, he can't just ask Jason about it, now can he?.
So basically after that they just go around in this sort-of tense situation in which Nico keeps wondering if all this - the amnesia, this thing they've gotten (think it the way you like i know nothing anymore) - is just a scam to get his guard down.
Imagine. Nico helplessly and painfully fell more in love at any good things Jason did for him whilst beating himself up to the belief that it was just all a lie. Falling in despair at the thought that he had exposed himself too much to someone planning to kill him. At the thought that no one actually loved him, after all.
All the while Jason had no idea. So he kept being nice to Nico and expressing his affection, having not a clue it only tears Nico apart. Jason didn't know anything (bc he was just an amnesia servant Nico picked up somewhere and thus stayed close to only him), though he was sensitive enough to know something was troubling Nico, and his intimacy might be a factor, which ended up distancing them further - which might or might not further cement the theory in Nico's head.
Their love is tethering. Delicious. I'd eat that shit up.
Now. When Jason does remember his task though. He'd have to choose - to continue (now that he had gotten Nico's trust to some degree, whilst wondering if Nico himself could have found out) or to ditch the mission, fake amnesia, and remain by Nico's side as it was, basically lying to Nico.
You'd say that the wise choice would to just lay all his cards out. But. Would it hurt Nico? Wouldn't he feel betrayed? (He really did HAHAHA) Would Nico even trust him? (He's trying) Would Jason even make it out alive when it's revealed that he's an assassin coming to take the life of a prince/ king/ whatever?
So many variables. So Jason kept it down.
BUT the truth will out. Oh, and the moment it was out. how spectacular it would be. when all the cards unfold and Nico realized that Jason remembered, and everything they had had was just a lie. Even though Jason was actually sincere. Even though he had tried so hard just to stay by Nico's side. Nico just couldn't bring himself to believe and it wasn't even his fault. Their words would never reach.
Nico let Jason escape - just because Jason had saved him once. So Jason had no choice but to return to his kingdom. The war had been declared at the exposed assassinating attempt.
And the next time they see each other, they'd be enemies.
If I had enough willpower I could literally make this a 50-something chapter long-fic but I don't. So.

Royal AU: Jasico
Tumblr media
This is a bit of a revamp because I already had drafts of this one lying around to be repurposed into original fiction. Some of you may have already seen my concepts for this.
Nico is the Second Born of the King of Asreil, kingdom of night and darkness. As such he is assigned the role of Moon priest, while his older sister Bianca will lead the nation as Queen.
Jason is the oldest born child of Aeowyna kingdom of Day and Light. He is expected to be king.
They are sent to their neighboring kingdom to celebrate the holy festival of Svenna (a new year celebration) and Jason goes to the Asrelian temple for prayer and runs into Nico the high priest doing his prayers (which for Asrelians requires doing yoga and he is VERY flexible, I just didn’t draw that part) but it is why Jason is all blushy.
Anyway it’s late but I did it. So….yup! All 7 days woo! you’re welcome Jasico nation. Back to the Nicobaster household I go.

Jasico Bingo Challenge #20!!
Prompt: Royal AU
The party was boring, in Nico’s opinion. Royals from all over had come cluttering into his father’s castle for the annual party thrown there.
Nico hated it since the day he was old enough to attend. A bunch of old people he didn’t care about sat in a room and talked about their country's wars until they started arguing, and then the night ended in shambles.
He thought this year would be just as boring until a few of Zeus’s allies showed up. His warriors, gods, and children roamed the party, threatening nothing but trouble.
Nico smiled as he watched them toy with guests. Hades, however, was not smiling. He was livid.
Nico walked out onto the party’s stage towards his sister, Hazel. She looked over at him and smiled.
“Enjoying yourself?” Nico asked.
“I know you don’t care for these parties, but they’re wonderful opportunities!” She said, grabbing his hands.
Nico rolled his eyes. “Oh, are you going to find me a suitor here?” Hazel laughed, but there was a hint of truth behind the giggle.
“How about him?” She said, pointing towards a short man with cropped hair. The two watched him talk with the people around him.
Nico considered. “He seems rather…bland.
Hazel nodded, looking for someone more to her brother’s taste. Her eyes landed on a tall man with dark hair. “Him?” She asked, grinning.
“Not my type,” Nico said, making a face.
Hazel groaned. “You should get out there! You’re too wonderful to only enjoy the company of your shadows.”
Nico rolled his eyes. He scanned over the party himself. His eyes landed on a tall man with blonde hair. He wore blue robes and smiled kindly at a man he was talking with.
“There, he’s perfect,” Nico laughed.
“Go talk with him!”
“In no world would that happen.”
Hazel groaned. “Nico! How are you meant to find a suitor if you refuse to talk to anyone.” She pouted.
“Maybe I don’t need a suitor. Marriage is a luxury, but not a necessity.”
Just then, the blonde man locked eyes with Nico. He smiled a stupid grin. Nico turned, trying to act like he wasn’t staring as well.
Hazel laughed. “Oh, he’s coming over here!” She said.
“I see that.”
She chuckled. “Good luck.”
“Wait what? Where are you going?”
With that, she turned her heel and walked back inside, leaving Nico to lean on the marble railing in anticipation.
The man approached, finally. He smiled and took Nico’s hand, kissing the back of his palm. “Your radiance has enraptured me. What is your name, heavenly angel?”
Nico tried not to blush. “Nico Di Angelo. Son of-”
“I care not who your parent is,” Jason interrupted, smiling, “tell me about yourself.”
“I am the king of ghosts,” Nico said reluctantly. The name seemed to loom above him, impossibly large. “I am also the prince of the underworld.”
“My, my prince,” the man smiled. “I am Jason Grace. I must leave your light, but I do hope to return to it soon again. Farewell, for now, King of Ghosts.” Jason said before kissing his cheek and leaving for a group of young people who seemed to know him waving him over.
Hazel returned from inside the castle, snickering.
“Was it a luxury?” She asked, laughing.
Nico laughed. “You are a new kind of cruel.”
“How was he? Was he the man of your dreams?”
Nico sighed, expelling love from his very lungs. “He was wonderful, I’m afraid.”

Jasico transmigration/isekai au where Jason wakes up as the antagonist Prince in a popular novel. His sister is Annabeth, the Princess and female lead, and the male lead is Percy, Jason’s enemy. In the story, Jason is in love with Nico (who is the royal witch or necromancer or something) and Percy and Nico betrayed eachother before. The story ends when Jason and Percy get into a fight about Nico’s loyalty, which leads to Percy killing Jason.
Jason, who read the novel and knows about all this, knows that he should stay as far away from Nico as possible to avoid his fate. But he DOES fall for Nico. And dying for Nico is how the story goes, and Jason’s powerless to stop it. (Or is he????)
OR Nico is transmigrated and he tries to avoid Jason to stop his death but Jason loves him enough to deem the danger worth it.

day twenty, prompt twenty: soulmate au
💀⚡️jasico bingo challenge 2024⚡️💀
(rushed)
The concept of soulmates was a complex and beautiful thing, one that had intrigued humanity for centuries. For Nico Di Angelo and Jason Grace, it was more than just a concept—it was their reality.From the moment they met at Camp Half-Blood, there was an undeniable connection between them. They were drawn to each other in a way that went beyond mere attraction or friendship. They were soulmates, two halves of a whole, destined to be together.It wasn't something they talked about often, this soulmate bond that connected them on a deeper level than either of them could fully comprehend. But they both felt it, in the way their hearts beat as one, in the way their souls seemed to recognize each other across lifetimes.One evening, as they sat by the campfire, the topic of soulmates came up. Nico had always been curious about the concept, and Jason was more than happy to share what he knew."Soulmates are said to be two souls that are destined to be together," Jason explained, his eyes soft as he looked at Nico. "They're connected by a bond that transcends time and space."Nico listened intently, his gaze never leaving Jason's. "Do you think... do you think we're soulmates, Jason?"Jason smiled, reaching out to take Nico's hand in his. "I know we are, Nico. I can feel it in my heart, in my soul. You're my other half, my missing piece."Nico's breath caught in his throat, the weight of Jason's words hitting him with full force. He had always felt a deep connection to Jason, a pull that he couldn't explain. Now, hearing Jason confirm that they were soulmates, it made everything fall into place.They sat in comfortable silence for a while, the crackling of the fire the only sound in the night. Nico leaned his head against Jason's shoulder, feeling more at peace than he ever had before."I love you, Nico," Jason said, breaking the silence."I love you too, Jason," Nico replied, his voice filled with emotion.As they sat there, wrapped in each other's arms, they knew that they were exactly where they were meant to be—soulmates, connected for eternity. And as they gazed up at the stars, they knew that their love would endure, transcending time and space, forever and always.
day twentyone, prompt: kingdom au (hella rushed)
In the vast and prosperous kingdoms of Aeonia and Veridia, two young princes stood at the precipice of their destinies. Nico Di Angelo, the Prince of Veridia, was known for his cunning mind and his ability to wield magic with unmatched skill. Jason Grace, the Prince of Aeonia, was admired for his bravery and his unwavering sense of justice. Despite their differences in upbringing and kingdom, fate had intertwined their paths, and they had fallen deeply in love.One day, a grand ball was held in Aeonia, and both princes were in attendance. Nico wore a cloak of deep green, his eyes shining with mischief as he surveyed the room. Jason, in contrast, was resplendent in royal blue, his gaze soft as it fell on Nico.As the night progressed, the two princes found themselves drawn to each other, their conversations filled with laughter and shared secrets. They danced under the starlit sky, their movements fluid and graceful, as if they were made for each other.As the clock struck midnight, signaling the end of the ball, Jason took Nico's hand and led him to a secluded garden. There, under the canopy of blooming flowers, Jason confessed his love for Nico, promising to stand by his side no matter the challenges they faced.Nico, his heart overflowing with emotion, vowed the same, sealing their promise with a kiss that felt like the beginning of a new chapter in their lives.However, their happiness was short-lived, as news arrived that the kingdoms of Aeonia and Veridia were on the brink of war. Despite their love, duty called, and both princes knew they had to return to their kingdoms to prepare for battle.As the armies gathered on the battlefield, Jason and Nico found themselves on opposite sides, their love put to the ultimate test. The clash of swords and the roar of magic filled the air, but amidst the chaos, their eyes met, and for a fleeting moment, everything else faded away.In that moment, they knew that no matter the outcome of the war, their love would endure, a beacon of hope in a world torn apart by strife.And as the sun set on the battlefield, casting a golden glow over the fallen, Jason and Nico stood together, their hands clasped in a silent vow to rebuild their kingdoms and create a future where love would always prevail.

Me: I need to make short stories for the jasico week, I need to learn when to just stop writing
Also me: What if for the Royal au I make that pjo X game of thrones jasico centered story I always wanted to write? With Nico being a targaryen and Jason a stark? And also give all the other characters a house and a background story? 🤔

you asked for prompts so jasico with royal!au where one of them is a prince and the other is his knight, please
this one was a head scratcher so I just frankensteined it and stitched all my ideas together LMAO I hope you like it!! 
---
“Stand back, Nico! I will protect you!” Jason growls, pushing Nico behind him and drawing his sword from its sheath.
Nico looks tired. “For the last time, your Highness, I am your knight. And you are posturing again.”
“Posturing--?”
“It’s just a wolf. If we leave it alone it will not bother us; it must have gotten separated from its pack.” Nico puts a hand on Jason’s arm and feels his muscles relax under his touch. He rolls his eyes. The wolf stares at them from a distance, ears raised high, before it turns its head and trots off. “You must not have wolves in the Summer Isles.”
“Not really… you have lived there with me for years now. Have you ever seen one?”
“Of course not. Come now. Your sister waits for us at the lodge.”
The Northern Dominion is a country settled deep, deep in the mountains, rife with thick forests and snow at every turn. Arriving had been a bit of a cultural shock for Jason. Even during the warmer days, people still wandered about in modest clothing, boots and pants and cloaks. In his home kingdom, displaying more skin was normal. Men and women would wander in togas and skirts, chests usually on display or covered by scarves or airy blouses. At least he understands now why Nico was so red faced when they met for the first time. This is the place he hails from.
After saying hello to Thalia and her huntresses and having dinner with the girls, they head up to their shared room for the night. There’s a bedroll on the floor for Nico, while the servants have prepped Jason’s mattress with soft fur blankets and fluffy pillows.
Jason wrinkles his nose at the implication that Nico is less than he is, that he doesn’t need a proper place for rest. “Would you like to sleep with me tonight?” He asks his knight, turning around and finding Nico stripping off his cloak.
Nico gestures to the bedroll. “I already am?”
“No, I mean… in my bed. I do not like the idea of you sleeping there.”
Nico shakes his head, a little amused. “Do not worry about me, your Highness. I can survive a week or so on the floor.”
“My Nico,” Jason says with fond exasperation, the only other noise in the room coming from the crackling fireplace. Suddenly they’re both back at Jupiter’s grand palace, a warm breeze in their hair as they stand on the balcony at night, looking at the stars. Suddenly Nico is wounded and covered in blood, Jason’s frantic face hovering over him with his hand on his cheek and nothing else mattered because Jason was safe. Suddenly, Nico is not a knight and Jason is not a prince, and Nico’s heart is pounding in his chest with a fury he wishes he could do away with.
Jason’s affections are so hard to ignore.
*
Nico mutters, “This entire debacle was to find you a spouse and yet here you are, dancing with me.” Jason’s hand drifts lower on Nico’s waist, near his hip, and he smiles shamelessly at him. There’s been a line of ladies and gentlemen waiting to dance with the Prince all night but he pays them no mind, focusing instead on his knight in front of him.
“What can I say?” Jason pulls him closer, and Nico feels stuffy under his armor. “I suppose you can call me picky.”
“You haven’t even given most of them a chance,” Nico protests.
“Do you want me to?” It’s innocent.
Nico drops his gaze to Jason’s chest. “...That’s not up to me.”
Jason hums in response, and he leans down, lips brushing along Nico’s ear. “Why would I want a spouse when I have everything I am looking for right in front of me?”
*
“I am-- I will go change in the washroom…” Nico says faintly, face burning, and before the prince can protest, he’s gone. Jason’s left alone in the room wondering if anything would ever come of this unspoken thing between them, wishing Nico would stop running in the opposite direction.

Jasico in Atlantis/Treasure Planet &/or Pirates AU?? Mostly just thinking about that fantasy treasure huntin' adventure flavor...
it took a while for me to get the time to write this and even longer to get the inspo for it. honestly was a blast to think up tho. thanks for the req!
jason grace is the son of the king, groomed to one day be the one to take the throne. whether he liked it or not.
the young prince was the king's ideal son— handsome, smart, athletic, kind... the picture perfect image of a leader. a young man who liked to read stories about adventure and ride horseback into the kingdom, where he'd look at the other kids his age, playing around.
look. look, and never join.
his older sister thalia, the ex-crown princess, has not been seen since jason was a little kid. at least, not officially, because in reality she had been visiting her baby brother in secret for years. she'd been on the run the whole time, but always found a way to come back to her brother.
jason loves her, he does, but he resents her a little for leaving the pressure of the kingdom (and their father) on him. though every time he asks her, she only smiled at him and whispered, "don't worry about anything. I have a plan."
he never understood what she meant. he wanted to believe her, but as his eighteenth birthday and thus his coronation grows closer, he still doesn't even know what he's supposed to be believing in.
a few weeks shy of his coronation, thalia asks him to meet her at the beach three days before the big day. he never expects her visits, them being few and far between, so her setting a schedule was a surprise to him. he worries about being caught, with their father doubling down on security as the coronation draws closer. she insists though, and jason yields. three days before his coronation, he sneaks out to go to the beach, but she isn't there.
he walks around for a little while, trying to look for her, and for a second he worries that she was caught by someone while she was waiting for him. before he can begin to freak out, he hears a low hum in the distance. he walks around the beach, by the rocks, and decides to try the cliff to find the source of it. by the time the cliff is in view, the humming starts to sound like a baritone song. his mind doesn't think to question it, doesn't recognize anything amiss, and before he realizes it he's running for the cliff's edge and he's staring straight down into the sea.
when he wakes up, it takes his hearing a while to come back, and the first thing he notices is the moon is still high in the sky.
"—lure him into the water, I didn't want you to make him jump off a cliff!"
that voice sounds like thalia, jason thought, the first coherent thing he's conceptualized in a while.
"I can't help where he goes, I just tell him to go!"
that sounds like the voice he heard before he jumped.
"hey, he's awake."
that voice sounds... hot.
jason's eyes open to a black-haired, olive-skinned boy with a jawline that could cut fucking glass. he mumbles groggily, "Did I die?"
Hot Guy smiles like jason told him a half-funny joke, "Why do you think you did?"
jason groaned like he was both in pain and was immensely tired. "You look like an angel."
that was definitely not the answer Hot Guy expected, because he immediately flushes red and sputters. jason's eyes focus behind the Hot Guy and sees thalia wolf whistling at him, and a fucking siren with a long sea-green tail bursting into laughter. "You're not dead Jay," thalia says, "but we're definitely very far from home."
(more under the cut. like a lot more.)
apparently, his beloved sister became a fucking pirate after running away. jumping from ship to ship, she’d been gaining a reputation for herself before pledging her loyalty to one of the most formidable pirate crews on the seven seas (and the only one that's all-female). the 'plan' she'd had, that she'd foreshadowed for almost years, was just to get her half-siren friend percy (who can apparently go from siren to human form at will, which jason thinks is awesome) to lure jason into the sea where they could get him.
jason politely admits that it sounds super stupid. thalia does agree, but enforces the fact that it did work.
the ship jason is currently on is apparently, percy's. he's the captain of a crew of five, six if you include him, named hazel, frank, leo, piper and annabeth. thalia just likes to visit sometimes.
they're tiny, and they're all very young, but jason's doubts about their capabilities vanish once percy tells him that people call them the six. jason's heard of them, obviously— his father has been trying to catch them for months now. his father was already furious knowing he wasn't able to capture a crew so small in size, imagine what would happen if he found out the oldest one of all of them is nineteen.
jason, on his first few days on the ship, feels numb. thalia had percy set him up in the med bay, at the back of the ship where the only thing he can hear is the crash of water. he thinks about his kingdom, his father— what was he going to do without an heir? what was the kingdom going to do without a king? he feels relieved, he feels guilty, he feels like he's failing the one thing he was born to do and feels like he has a chance to pick what he wants to do.
jason closes his eyes, thinking, and doesn't notice someone had come in until a cold hand lays on his forehead. he jolts his eyes open and it's nico, the Hot Guy who was with thalia and percy. nico tells him he was just checking jason's temperature and he turns to leave, but jason stops him and asks him to stay. there was "no" already on the tip of his tongue, but jason didn't stand for it. nico desisted, only to wonder why jason was so adamant about making him stay.
jason asks why percy didn't call him a part of the crew. hesitantly, nico tells him it's because he isn't. he's not an official pirate of any crew, and instead runs around ship to ship and coast to coast, either striking deals with the more reasonable pirates or taking out crews of them all on his own.
jason asks him why he keeps moving around like that. as a short answer, nico tells him it's for his father's work. jason feels like there's more to it than that, but he doesn't push.
the medicine thalia insisted he take was making him a little loopy. he barely recalls what he was saying, but apparently it was stupid enough to make nico laugh and respectful enough to make him stay. the medicine doesn't make him too loopy for very long, just a few hours, but the next night when jason found himself wanting company again, he played stupid so nico would stay with him.
(hazel, nico's half sister and apparently the only reason he sometimes travels with their ship for a few days, was the one in charge of taking care of him while he was forcefully bedridden. he realized she knew what he was doing when all three of them were talking one day and she gave him a thumbs-up behind nico's back.)
nico leaves once jason's off bed rest. he asks hazel whether or not she knows when they're gonna pick him up again, and she tells him the week and a half he was there with them was actually the longest time he's ever stayed.
he keeps asking for a while after nico's left. after four weeks, he stops asking.
six months later, they pick nico up again at a bustling port. it's also the same port where jason decides to leave.
jason spends the first night off the ship in a warm little inn, but he doesn't sleep. he thinks he really should sleep more when he didn't realize a fucking intruder got into his room until he heard the soft thump of their feet on the floor. he gets into a melee battle with the black-hooded figure, still quick on his feet even though he hasn't slept in weeks, but eventually the intruder has him pinned down to the nearest flat surface. jason almost bites them before the figure rips off their mask to reveal— it's just nico.
somehow, they end up sitting on the roof of the inn, sharing a bottle of wine nico denies he stole but jason absolutely knew he did.
nico asks jason why he decided to leave the crew, even after getting so irreversibly close with all of them— which he knows jason did.
jason answers that by telling him about his kingdom, back across at least three seas by now. he tells nico about how the town square shines gold almost all hours of the day and glows even at twilight, but the further you get from the kingdom gates the more you see filthy alleys and dirty children. he tells nico about the times he'd go into town in disguise and see how many horrendous things are happening, then eavesdrop on council meetings and figure out why.
he also tells nico about his father, and he keeps it as brief as he can but nico understands what he means.
he tells nico he has to go back, get his kingdom and his crown no matter what chaos he knows would've erupted. he thinks of the councilmen, of dukes and lords he knows will be doing anything for a chance at the throne, now that the crown prince is missing. he tells nico about them, then he tells nico about his people, and he doesn't need to tell nico the rest to know he gets it.
nico still asks why he has to be the one to go back, when on the sea he has percy, piper, leo, thalia, freedom. in return, jason asks why nico is always running.
because i have to, is the answer to both their questions. maybe i'm wrong, but i think i have to.
three days later, after additional goodbyes and promises to write, they start a journey back to jason's kingdom. jason tells nico he shouldn't come, that it'll be a journey of peril that won't get any easier when they do get to the kingdom— nico just glares at him and continues to pack two horses even more aggressively. jason relents.
so now it's just the two of them, both running back and running away, but at least this time they've got a friend.
