An Older Nico who comes back to the past after wreaking havoc in his original timeline tho.
The guy's nice. He helps them. He's powerful. He's soft for his younger self and he adores Hazel all the same.
But then they see his sword brimming with godly essences; his aura sometimes turns slightly red at the edges. He has a vial of fire - from Hephaestus' forge, Leo said - that he doused Clytius with. A pair of winged shoes enabled him to cut off Cupid's wings after Young Nico's forced to come out. When he brakes off Jason and Percy's fight, he can redirect Jason's bolts and Percy thinks the pearls that the older man uses to defend against his water are familiar. Maybe he saw it in Poseidon's palace.
They're just gifts, he said. But they don't look like it, especially when Annabeth finds a shatter of her mother's shield amongst the future Nico's possession.
It's only much, much later when they realize that those are the takings of his fight against their godly parents where - or when - the older Nico comes from.

Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin (AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)
It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.
Bonus:
#My art#One Piece#Nico Robin#Sir Crocodile#Y'all the OP brainrot is BAD#According to an SBS Crocodile would absolutely spoil his child rotten if he had one. *We all know how Robin's childhood went*#Scary mofo who does not know how to parent a child but boy does he have the spirit + Child who has never had proper parent in her life#They'd make. An absolute disaster of a duo. This AU concept is so fucking funny to me okay#But also sad because I would fucking die for baby Robin she deserves the fucking world#This poor girl has never been spoiled in her entire life AND NOW PAPADILE IS HERE TO SPOIL HER#You know it's funny. I know 11 yo Robin should LOOK older than 8 year old Robin. But Crocodile is a fucking giant so she's still baby sized#Also I just had too much fun drawing Robin looking as pathetic as humanly possible lmao#She's a like a wet kitten in the rain 😭

the dynamic of demigods thinking which other demigod is the most powerful is always amusing to me because. like, we know the big 3 kids are all the most powerful. That's just a fact of their universe. And then we know nearly every character views Percy as the strongest demigod, and most people are very rightfully intimidated by him.
and you look at the powers of the Big 3 kids and there's Percy, but then you realize Nico is just kind of objectively more powerful than him but simply chooses to hang out in Percy's shadow like he's Percy's scary dog privileges. Like, the two of them are pretty equally capable of causing multiple different apocalypses. Nico just also has like four different instakill powers and it's not like he doesn't use them. He very much uses them! Not infrequently, even! And they don't seem to take a significant amount of energy from him! And other demigods are pretty intimidated by both of them! But Nico makes a conscious point to keep his cards close to his chest and not let on exactly how dangerous and scary he can be if he wants to. People are already scared enough of him without knowing anything about him and he doesn't like that. Percy doesn't think about that nearly as much, and so usually just goes in guns blazing and that's part of why he's considered a wildcard. And then Nico himself puts Percy on a pedestal, so those who do know more about Nico's abilities then presume Nico knows something they don't about Percy that implies Percy is even stronger than him.
And even on a meta level Nico's narrative role requires him to be functionally more powerful than Percy, because he very often serves the purpose of getting Percy out of situations he can't handle on his own. That's just part of his function as a character! But also narratively he can't overshadow Percy so he just takes a backseat of his own accord and that's very amusing to me.
#pjo#percy jackson#riordanverse#nico di angelo#i will also note it is implied though we never see that Hazel has the exact same powers as Nico#and Hazel has trained with her powers way longer than Nico has plus is older so theoretically is more powerful already#she killed a giant all by herself. sank a small island. and successfully subdued Gaea for like another 60 years#so given that + her also having Nico's powers then *Hazel* is theoretically the strongest demigod no contest#Jason and Thalia end up kind of nerfed by the plot in that neither is allowed to overshadow Percy either#but they dont play the same roles that characters like Nico do - Nico keeps getting stupid abilities just for convenience factor#and Bianca never got the opportunity to use many powers besides astral projection/dream manipulation and similarly hades kid illusion stuff#and general ghost stuff. and she does all that as a ghost really. her killing the skeleton wasnt even her powers that was just a normal sta#and it was just by virtue of her being a hades kid and fulfilling the ''can kill these skeletons'' requirement that it blew up#technically she also showcases underworld immunity with the lethe stuff wearing off but that's very subtle#Hazel also doesnt play the same role as Nico and so doesnt get to showcase all that#plus is similarly nerfed with the ''cant be cooler than Percy'' constraint and so never gets to really do anything#even though logistically she is the most powerful and should showcase the full extent of her abilities to the same degree as Percy and Nico#Jason at least gets a little bit more wiggle room than Thalia being a main protagonist#Nico just gets the most wiggle room out of both not being a protagonist and being functionally a dues ex machina most of the time#versus Thalia or Bianca who are only ever secondary or supporting characters

I love how extreme found family is in one piece. Like they took supernatural line of "Family don't end in blood" and actually made good on it. Because it's not just that the crew found each other even before that only really very briefly Robin, Usopp and Luffy could say that anyone biologically related to them raised them.
Like Luffy had Garp and that's his grandpa but he also had Makino and Shanks and the red hair pirates and they were a family unit and he also had Ace, Sabo Dandan and the bandits and they were a family as well and it's never who mattered more to Luffy or who actually raised him cause they all did. It'd be hard to put him in a nuclear family structure because so many people fill the same roles in his life in different ways and that's great like Kung Fu panda said "that doesn't mean less for one parent it just means more for Luffy"
And that's the thing I think sometime fandom can get very obsessive with trying to pin down who is whose surrogate father/mother how do they fit in the nuclear family structure and while that's fun and there's nothing wrong with head cannon characters that way I also think it's important to remember that not every relationship needs a title or definition sometimes you are just family and that's valid too.
Ace had Luffy and Garp but he also had the whitebeard pirates and his pops same with Sabo and the revolutionaries
Zoro with Kuina and his old kendo master, that was maybe more of a rivals, mentor mentee relationship than whatever Mihawk Zoro and Perona had going on but it's all family none the less.
Chopper with Hiririluk and Kureha. Perona and Moria, Usopp with the little village boys and Kaya. Shanks and Buggy with the Roger Pirates. They might not all have had defined roles with each other but it was still family.
Just like Sanji, Nami, Franky and Law and their more defined Surrogate familes
And people like Vivi Robin Usopp and Shirahoshi who had/have their biological parents/family that love them and raised them.
It's nobody that I've just mentioned properly fitting squarely into any of these categories because it's all complicated family is complicated and its messy and it's big and everyone in your family might not have even met but it's family and it doesn't end in blood and for some people it never started there either.
#what does it mean to be family? maybe there's a lower barrier to entry than we thought#I don't know as someone who has been raised atleast partially by many different people most not related to me#and has a very large and sprawling extended family#complicated family structures means everything to me#like yes let me not be able to connect the dot let different people mean the same thing but different things to the same perosn#Shanks was Luffy's dad but he was also his drunk uncle and his much older brother he's also his friend#Garp is luffy's grandad but he's also not his friend he's his father and his mentor garp thought him how to fight.#Rayleighs just some old dude that believes in him but he's Shanks dad but to luffy he's just a mentor and maybe a friend#Like yes just because we cant draw the dots on how we are connetcted together doesnt mean it's not family#op#straw hat pirates#straw hat luffy#roronoa zoro#monkey d. luffy#nami#sanji#tony tony chopper#nico robin#trafalgar law#monkey d garp#portgas d ace#revolutionary sabo#asl brothers#asl trio#nakamaship#straw hats#franky one piece#usopp#goth family#one piece

You can make an argument that any big three kid is the oldest, except for Jason.
Like, biologically, Percy has aged the most, he’s physically 17, which is more than any of the rest of them has reached
Thalia has mentally aged/matured the most, even if she stopped biologically aging at 15 years and 364 days, and should chronologically be in her 20s but spent some time as a tree where she aged slower.
Chronologically, Hazel was born the longest time from the present day, but she also died, and was in the underworld for decades before being resurrected, so that time didn’t really count for her, and she’s physically like 14.
Nico has been alive for the most time, but for 70 years he was in a place where he couldn’t physically age. He’s like…15 now and is aging normally, but has been alive since world war 2.
And then there’s Jason. Who had no wacky time shenanigans and died and didn’t come back. (Yet) honestly, and outlier who should not have been counted
#Percy Jackson#thalia grace#hazel levesque#nico di angelo#jason grace#big three kids#pjo#spiders Jason lived a normal life span and should not have been counted#and yes I know I should have counted Bianca#and up until twoish years after she died#she’s still kinda older than Nico so she could still be in the oldest running#because she’s a little older than him and aren’t the same time in the casino#and if she lived because she was a hunter she would have still been in the running forever#but she died so technically she is no longer a potential oldest big three cousin#but she had the potential to be

something the percy jackson fandom isn’t accepting is nico getting better. everyone’s used to him being the emo little meow meow. he ain’t the fandom’s lil emo pout pout boy anymore. remember his 10 year old jumpy and excited self? he’s coming back to that. maybe not as much energy but he’s becoming more (un)serious, content and calm. he’s not angry, sad and emo anymore. in fact, he’s slightly annoyed by his emo boy title. my boy is becoming lightly happy again. he’s coming full circle and that’s beautiful. i’m sorry that some of you can’t accept change (i have a lot to say on with jason’s death).
#he knows happiness#he understands now#my boy is getting older and wiser#he knows#nico di angelo#heros of olympus#hoo#percy jackson and the olympians#pjo hoo toa#pjo#trials of apollo#toa#he wants to get better#tsats#the sun and the star

I hate,especially in the pjo fandom, when people cut characters down to 1 trait. Sometimes it's a trait that isn't even one they have!
Like Percy, Will and Leo being seen as dumb erks me to no end. Especially Leo.
I know they're incorrect quotes but I saw one where they used the "7x7" "stuff she knows!" audio with leo and I'm just-
He knew collage level math at 8!!! What you mean he wouldn't know 7x7.
He could probably recite 100+ digits of pi. He built a whole ship!!
Same with Percy and Will. Like Percy is not dumb, he's just someone who thinks on his feet and isn't book smart like Annabeth.
Will runs an infirmary and cabin by himself by 13. He immediately finds a way to check on Nico's condition and chides him for risking his health. He's working with no weapon as a field medic, he has to be smart enough to avoid attacks.
Nico isn't just the emo sad kid. He is quick to make friends with those people tend to be wary of. He's just getting use to people again after being on his own for so long.
Jason isn't just some boring/ lesser version of Percy. He has a detailed past and motives even without most of his memories.
Michael isn't just attitude and starting fights. The only fellow camper he actually fights with is Clarisse and he's pretty chill for the rest of the book other then just being sassy sometimes. He's usually just matching energy.
Stolls aren't all stupid either, they were 12-13 when they became hcs of the largest cabin at a camp. A cabin, mind you, that was recently ran by a 19-almost 20 year old. They're poster children for younger siblings suddenly forced to mature.
Maybe it's just me and my love for psychoanalyizing characters, but really like most people forget how 3 dimensional these characters are.
Do not get me started on characters like Drew and Octavian or how many of y'all forget Annabeth(and every demigod other than frank) also is dyslexic and not just the ones the fandom deems as "dumb".
#mine#pjo#percy jackon and the olympians#percy jackson and the olympians#pain rambles#percy jackson#annabeth chase#leo valdez#jason grace#nico di angelo#the stoll brothers#travis stoll#connor stoll#seriously tho#you're telling me there was no one who was older than them?#or did everyone else not want to take the mantle cause of Luke leaving?#if so that's even more messed up#their oldest brother betrays them than their other older siblings refuse to step up and leave them to deal with the mess?#think they deserve a lil hyjinks for that

Will, jokingly: you can't swear, you're just a little baby 14 yo.
Nico: I am 97 will, do you really wanna have this conversation right now?
Will:
Nico:
Wil: ..wut
Exhibit B
Will, Reading the instructions to a board game: okay so it says here that the youngest gets to start. Guess I'm going first then-
Nico: what? I'm literally 14. You're like 1 and a half years older me.
Will:
Will: YOU WERE 97 LIKE 3 HOURS AGO!?!?
Exhibit C
Will, with Nico in cabin 13: hey baby you wanna-
Nico: Who tf are you calling Baby, you foetus? I'm old enough to be your great grandfather.
Will, taking a deep breath: NICO YOU ARE SITTING IN MY LAP EATING ANIMAL CRACKERS WHAT EVEN
#solangelo#nico di angelo#will solace#will isnt sure whether he should be comfused or pissed#nico:will im older so u cant hit me-#will: YOU STILL CANT DO ALGEBRA PROPERLY STFU

★・・・・★・・・・ ★・・・・★
i was a flight risk, with a fear of fallin', wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts
it's during one of your first dates with nico when you realize this boy is special.
you don't do relationships. you're sensible enough to know that romance isn't like how it's portrayed in media because even if there is love between two people, there will always be hesitations and complications.
complications that you do not need, not when your job keeps you busy and you have your family to think of.
there's another reason though, one you don't like to think much of as a reason for your aversion to vulnerability.
you grew up with an absent father and a mother who cared too much. your perception of love had been thrown out the window, stomped on and ran over.
so when you meet nico at a bar and he asks for your number, you don't expect it to progress anywhere.
but he's so handsome, all dimples and foreign accent as he buys you a drink and tells you that you're pretty.
three dates in, he's got you wrapped up in his arms between his legs on his bed.
he's warm, broad chest under your back. you snuggle closer, pressing the tops of your cold feet into his calves. he dips his face into your shoulder and smiles.
the notebook is playing on the tv facing his bed as he fiddles with your fingers. you told him it was your favourite last week when he took you out to an art museum. you didn't expect him to remember.
you cannot believe this man. he's made you cum three times, once with his mouth, another with his fingers and the last with his cock.
and then he drew you a bath and dried your hair for you.
when you ask him why, he puffs out his chest awkwardly, scratching one of his big bicep and tells you he really likes you and he wants to take care of you.
who does that in this day and age?
he had texted you earlier to see if you were free for dinner. you expected mediocre food and then sex.
maybe a few minutes of cuddling before you left his apartment, but he's breathing in the smell of his shampoo on your hair, holding you like it's the only thing he wants to do on a saturday night, after he had you writhing in his sheets for nearly an hour.
you want to run, because he makes you speechless and your mouth dries up with how sweet he is. you're not used to being taken care of, as sad as it sounds.
normally you would be halfway back to your apartment if had been anyone else.
but this time, something tells you to stick around because you have a premonition that even if you do get hurt, nico hischier is going to be worth it.
★・・・・★・・・・ ★・・・・★
we're takin' on the world together, and there's a drawer of my things at your place
"hey, handsome." your boyfriend of a month comes up from behind you, wrapping his arms around you and pressing a kiss into your hair.
he asks you to be his girlfriend during a morning walk in the park, eyes earnest. you say yes eagerly, because you don't know if there's something so different about him, but he makes you so deliriously happy.
so after a week or two of dancing around each other and no labels, he makes you his with a sweet, long kiss next to the flowers that are starting to bloom in the damp spring air.
now you're in his kitchen, words coming easy to you again. you tell him he looks handsome with his wet hair and week-old beard.
he flushes like he always does when you compliment him.
cute, you think.
you turn from the overnight oats you're making for him to kiss him properly. he nips your lip and you laugh.
"I have something for you, schatz ." the pet name makes you weak in the knees, and you're glad he has you pinned against the counter.
he slips a key into your fingers.
your heart drops to your stomach, and it bounces back up.
"really?" you ask, and he shrugs, oddly shy and pink.
"you're here so much, and I want you around more. it doesn't make since to drive all the way to your apartment when it's dark."
you swoon; does he even know the effect he has on you?
soon, half of his closet is full of your clothes, your pink toothbrush has a spot next to his and your girly products he has no idea how to use are scattered on his counter.
he buys you a nightstand for your side of the bed, and it has a picture of the two of you on it.
you wonder if it's too early in the relationship for something like this, but nico tells you he doesn't care.
he just wants you. you want to cry, because no one has ever just wanted you, with all of your complications and busy schedule.
he cuddles you to sleep and tells you that the two of you can take on the world together, and the first time in a while, you feel content and steady.
★・・・・★・・・・ ★・・・・★
you learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded, you say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
you don't think of your father often. he left when you were 13, when you were young enough to be ridden with emotion and the feelings of inadequacies because why didn't he want you?
but you were also old enough to take care of your four younger siblings as your mother took to bed, her own problems boiling up.
sure, he kept up with birthdays and holidays by sending money instead of well wishes, but you wanted him to be present.
the last you saw of him was at your high school graduation a few years ago. you've given up since then, because he's remarried and has step-kids he treats the way he should've treated you and your siblings.
your mother has moved on. she's dating again and you like seeing the flushed glow on her cheeks over facetime as she tells you about some math teacher that took her out to an Italian restaurant.
your youngest brother, the runt of your family, your sisters always joke, is finally 18 this year.
they can all fend for themselves and you are just you.
sure, they still call you up every few weeks with something trivial, but you are no longer just the oldest of four, or the reliable daughter your mother counted on for everything.
and nico reminds you of this all the time when you start to worry and get in over your head.
you're happy and carefree. you go out with nico and his team mates who gag when the two of you kiss, and laugh at your jokes.
nico takes you on dates, and lets you try and cook swiss dishes on his days off.
your mind is clear of your father, until he calls you on a wednesday night.
nico is fast asleep beside you, and you have to wiggle out of his embrace to reach for your phone.
"hello?" you ask groggily. you don't check the caller id, but you wish you had when your father says your name enthusiastically into the phone.
you want to throw up. what does he want?
"listen, kid. I know I don't call enough, but Johnny is a huge hockey fan. I was wondering if there is anyway that you could get tickets since your boyfriend plays for the devils?"
"how did you find out-" you asked, half-shocked he still has your number saved, and half-shocked at the sheer audacity he has to ask you for a favour for one of his step-sons.
"I saw on the news, kid. now, I would really appreciate if you could do this for your father-"
you want to berate him. if he has the time to read those useless gossip pages, why hasn't he come to see you or even called just because?
you don't even realize nico is awake, but he takes the phone from you.
"excuse me, sir, but your daughter has an early day tomorrow. she needs to go. she'll call you back, if she wants."
he hangs up and turns to you, eyes soft in the light of the lamp he turns on to see you better.
"oh, schatz," he sighs, pulling you into his lap and wiping you tear-wet face.
you're sobbing, but you need to stop. he doesn't need to see you like this, not when this was the behaviour that made your dad leave your mom.
he pulls at your fingers that are stifling your cries and kisses each one of them delicately, "let it out, liebling."
he hates that you think he's going to leave you. he hates what your father has done to the way you think, and he hates that your hurting.
seeing you cry makes something primal and angry stir in his chest, because you deserve all of the good things in the world and more.
it frustrates him that there is nothing for him to do, no one to punch - well, maybe your dad - and all he can do is be there for you.
between the conversations about why you're so guarded and the way you pull back whenever your relationship progresses with him, he knows.
he knows your scared, but he's so determined to make you see that he's so willing to do anything for you, and your future.
"I promise you," he whispers when you calm, only hiccuping slightly, "we will never make your parents' mistakes."
★・・・・★・・・・ ★・・・・★
i ran out, crying, and you followed me out into the street...braced myself for the goodbye...then you took me by surprise, you said, "I'll never leave you alone"
"why didn't you talk to me about this before hand?" he huffs, setting down his mug.
you can feel something jittery and hot floating a milimeter above your skin, incasing you in the want to retract, to leave.
your stomach is empty and you want to vomit. you can't look at him, not with frustration on the tip of your tongue.
"I didn't think you needed a say in my career!" you exclaim, and the hurt on his face makes it hard to breathe.
"I would like to know what's going on with my girlfriend, especially if she has to travel every month for work!" he rubs his temples, "we hardly see each other as is-"
"I need to support myself! I would love to quit and be a trophy wife, but forgive me for needing financial independence in case you leave me!"
you scream that last part, and tears are starting to sprout in your eyes. this is so stupid, but there is no part of you that can shake off that needling feeling that he might go.
nico gapes at you, trying to unpack everything.
you shake your head, fingers trembling as you stand.
"I'll give you some space." you have no where to go, maybe your sister's house two hours away by train, but you can't stand the tortured look on his face.
you run out, ignoring his calls of your name until he catches you on the street.
his fingers loop around your wrist easily, and you want to shake them off because you can't bear having his gentle touch now and losing it later.
"I'll never leave you alone, schatz. you know that. so don't walk out on me, please."
you hang your head low; you love him so much, but it's so hard.
you're so afraid to lose him you're not letting yourself love him.
you tell him so, and his face crumples as he takes you in his arms.
you whisper promises to each other under the streetlights, to never leave each other and to communicate better.
from then on, you believe everything he says.
★・・・・★・・・・ ★・・・・★
you made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
nico is watching you from the kitchen, because your youngest sister forced you to sit on the couch and gave him a dirty look that had him following her into the kitchen to help with the drying.
she notices the smile on his face: soft, completely unguarded and full of admiration.
she sighs. maybe you are in good hands after all.
when you called a month ago to tell her that nico brought you to switzerland on a whim and you didn't panic, make an itinerary and freak out, she almost choked on her water.
you who bared your teeth at the unknown, who always needed a plan?
he made you so carefree. it makes her relieved that you have him now, because she saw how bad things were when your mother was depressed and you were balancing school, a part time job and watching all of them.
she was too young to understand anything then, but she wishes now that she had behaved better, understood more, just to take a pound off of the heavy burden you carried.
"y'know, I think you're making her a rebel."
"what?" your boyfriend laughs at the younger girl, and she nods seriously.
"she came late today, and she only fixed the flowers once. that's crazy improvement."
"hmm." he's smiling at you again, while you laugh at something one of your brothers' had said. she relishes in the fact that he can hardly take his eyes off of you.
"she's had to fight for us her whole life," this gets nico's attention, "and she's had to fight for herself. we were always here, but we were too young to understand the weight she carried for us."
"but now," she feels oddly emotional, the unwarranted guilt she has from simply not understanding dissolving in her throat, "she has you to fight for her."
you, her sweet sister who wasn't grown and was forced to take on more than any kid did, finally had someone in her corner.
you could afford to be careless once in a while now.
★・・・・★・・・・ ★・・・・★
+ you are the best thing that's ever been mine
you are undeniably sick: runny nose, shivers, a cough.
calling into your job for a day off, you sleep in until your phone shines 2:37 PM.
nico hears your stirring, and comes in. he smoothes your hair and kisses your red nose.
quietly, because he's afraid your head hurts, he hands you a bowl of soup and reties your hair for you.
he fusses, the captain side of him coming in as he fluffs your pillows and rub your shoulders.
you can't remember the last time someone looked after you when you were sick.
so maybe it's the delirium and the fact you can't really breathe, but you give him a loopy smile (the Advil was kicking in).
"you are the best thing that's ever even mine, handsome."
he flushes and rolls his eyes affectionately, and cuddles you close.
your statement still stands when he inevitably gets sick half a week later and becomes a whiny baby.
you love him so, so much.

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.”
#scared of what his existence holds#the phantom of a threat zeus failed to eliminate#and now it’d always come back to haunt him HA HA HA#bc nico’s hades’ son. bc nico stays opposed to zeus always#bc nico has what he doesn’t have. the power. the connection. the potential. the ghost#nico di angelo#zeus (pjo)#yone rambling#immortal nico#older nico#powerful nico#prince of the underworld#ghost king nico#pjo#hoo#toa#percy jackson and the olympians#heroes of olympus#trials of apollo

sometimes im normal and then sometimes i think about how robin had been on the run for 20 years starting at age fucking 8 and when we meet her she's actively aiding in the destabilization of a country and gets so many people killed but one of the first things luffy says about her is that she isnt a bad person. I particularly think about her first appearance and her interactions with crocodile, because crocodile is (much like other OP characters) kind of a ridiculous man in his dramatic overcoat and his giant pets he feeds people to and. do you think robin was emulating him in that way with her own personal giant dramatic coat and cowboy fit. on the run for 20 years ever since she was a child, having to make herself useful to people so that they wouldnt suddenly abandon her, emulating her boss not only to gain his favor but also to try and appear intimidating herself? how many times had she done something like this. robin is a character who presents herself in so many ways, always wrapping herself up in an air of mystery and intrigue but shes also so deeply childish, she constantly makes morbid jokes about her situation because the last lesson one of the only people who cared about her gave her was that what else is there to do but laugh. to never stop laughing. having lived on the run she knows that an assassin is most effective when their weapon is concealed and yet she freely shows off her powers just to gain their trust. to play with luffy and chopper and usopp. how gratifying do you think robin felt when nami called her a sister. in skypiea she's constantly providing tactical assistance in how to survive in the wilderness but she's afraid when luffy and usopp start laughing at her suggestions. lets make a bonfire, robin! we're out camping, this is what you're supposed to do! she freezes in the same way she did when the kids on ohara laughed at her but even when the straw hats happily invite her to party she still stands on the edge, sitting further from the rest. she doesn't know what to do there. she had no will to live after luffy had saved her but one of the truly happiest moments she has is when she's not even cheering, just sitting in awe seeing the ancient city in the sky. was she thinking of her friends then? she never had friends her own age, just scholars multiple times her age and yet they were still her friends, who would never get to see this sight. when aokiji reappears and nearly kills them, shes stonefaced upon waking up that the straw hats even considered having a sleepover in her room. because they were worried about her. she's never had a sleepover, and it's something so simple to the straw hats, that of course they wouldn't see their friend as someone to use. she's never escaped the headspace she was in when she had to run away from the mountains of corpses of a burning ohara. the first and last thing her mother ever said to her was that she didnt know her, no matter how much she wanted to embrace her daughter. she never had the chance to say goodbye. she never had the chance to grow up.
sometimes i think about how nico robin was in many ways raised by her friends in the straw hats with their love for her and hauve covid
#zerav meta#one piece#nico robin#robin is a decade older than her friends but she was literally raised by them. showered in love by them. everything was given so freely#and of course she would burn the world for their sakes

thinking about how the (greek) big three swore to never sire any more demigod children because those children are just too powerful (dangerous) and also thinking about how the characters that, arguably, seem to have the greatest proclivity for cruelty in the name of justice or vengeance are also the (greek) big three children... there's something there, a connection to be made I'm sure of it
#and its not just cruelty...#its like this spiraling into... darkness? power?#for percy and nico at least#thalia we dont get to see as much and I need to reread ttc#but like... she's SO tempted by power#its like she has to actively fight against those base instincts to rule (like her father)#when she chooses the hunters#she removes her role (her power her agency) in the great prophecy#and idk I feel like there's subtext there that she's worried what she would have done had she been the prophecy child#but sincerely there's something about greek big three kids thats off kilter#and that aspect only gets more pronounced as time goes on and they get older#like not only are they scarily powerful#but their mental states are just... messy#almost like in comparison to other demigods#they're a little more god a little less mortal if that makes sense#and they have to fight to maintain that mortality (their humanity)

Despite his best efforts to be silent, Will wakes up as soon as Nico opens the door.
“Neeks?” he mumbles, squinting at the sliver of light bleeding into the bedroom. Nico hurries to close the door behind him, padding forward to the bed and dropping a kiss onto Will’s hair.
“Yeah, baby.”
Will sighs, curling up, leaning into Nico’s touch. “Good.”
Nico feels his tired eyes follow him as he putters quietly around the room, hanging his sword and his jacket, shucking off his torn jeans, tossing his shirt in a corner somewhere.
“Y’hurt?”
Nico smiles. He loves the heavy drawl of Will’s y’s that he gets when he’s sleepy or passionate, as much as he teases. It always makes him fluttery, makes the hairs on the back of his arms stand up.
“No.”
“Promise?”
Nico digs around until he finds a pair of Will’s flannel pyjama pants, tugging them on and rolling the waistband until he can wear them without tripping. He doesn’t bother with a shirt.
“Yes.”
“C’mere.” The blankets shift and whisper as Will peels them slightly back, lifting his arms around the empty space next to him. “Can practic’ly see ya shiverin’. Y’r g’na turn blue inna min’t.”
Nico can’t stop a giggle. He curls into Will’s hold, pressing a kiss to the sun on his chest and muttering something about cowboys and bull-wranglers. He’s well-used to the playfully stern pinch Will nicks on the curve of his thigh, and snickers more.
“Y’r not funny.”
“Y’r’n’funny,” Nico mocks, exaggerated. He clears his throat, and says with exaggerated deepness: “Y’ain’t from ‘round these here pards, pardner.”
Will pinches him again, but does nothing to hide the curve of his smile as he presses a kiss to Nico’s neck, his bare shoulder.
“M’gonna bite you.”
“Y’would’nt —”
Will does bite him, and Nico smacks him in revenge, although he doesn’t really care. If anything he kind of relishes it.
“Freak,” Will says fondly, knowing exactly what Nico’s thinking. He drags his head up to press a long, lingering kiss to Nico’s cheek. “Sleep. Warm up. Talk in the mornin’.”
“Mornin’,” Nico mocks tiredly, but settles in too, presses a last kiss to Will’s jaw before settling against him, breaths evening out to join him in dreamland.
