VALGRACE SCHOOL AU PT 3

@alocacok this one’s for you, pooks (it’s stupid o’clock rn)

Leo works with Jason for what feels like fifteen minutes, joking, laughing, actually learning and just talking. Leo’s forgotten what that felt like… he also talked to the other kids there! He’s pretty sure Apollo’s got a bit of a god complex but he seems super funny and nice, and so does everyone else. He’s pretty sure he even saw Will and Nico holding hands when they thought he wasn’t looking, once or twice. 

When he looked up at the clock at the front of the room, he was shocked and slightly sad that he had roughly five minutes left. Annabeth  stood up at the front of the classroom and began to announce that it was time to get ready to go and he quickly exchanged numbers with Jason. 

… and everyone else.

He said goodbye to everyone before starting to walk out of the school and down the road towards his Abuela’s, almost putting in his earbuds when he hears a familiar voice calling his name. He turns around to see Jason, maybe fifteen feet away. Jason jogs up to him until he’s right next to Leo, smile and cute little blush on his face the whole time. “I didn’t know you walked this way, Leo?” 

[melz-367]

starting school again tomorrow and my brain is full of pjo, Masonyew, solangelo, and other random shit and I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO HELP

HOW AM I MEANT TO FOCUS ON GCSE'S WHEN THESE IDIOTS ARE CRAWLING AROUND MY HEAD 😭😭

ARGHHH 😭😭😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[cocrante]

I have this fantasy of Nico who could be like that kind of guy who makes someone question their own sexuality, like when you're in a bookstore and you see a gothic man with a fishnet shirt and a long black coat, and you start having existential questions and your life collapses in on itself, and you have no more certainty.

That's Nico. Or rather, that's how he would be in a modern au.

And Will starts taking online "am I gay?" tests like we all have did lmao don't come here telling me lies, I know you did it too

Percy Jackson Mortal Au

Part 2

Annabeth reached her usual lunch table with some news.

"Hey, you heard about the musical this year?" They all assisted an ambitioned high school. It was one of the best ranked high schools in arts and sports, and a very ambitioned one.

"I think Mr. Apollo's already working on it." Will replied.

"With Mr. D. Even he is helping. And so are Pollux and Castor, they're helping to choreograph. And direct, for that matter."

"Those really want to get into Juilliard, aren't they?" Nico commented from beside his boyfriend Will.

"Yup, they're hoping this will help."

"I doubt Juilliard will be very interested in this kind of stuff." Percy said, opening his arms to welcome Annabeth in an embrace.

She shrugged. "I mean, this school is very recognized in the arts." It was true it was a school with a great arts program. A group had been preparing a Musical on Black History since the previous year supposed to be presented this year and they were very secretive about it. No one other than Mr. Apollo, Mr. D and the group had seen or been to the rehearsals. Even Hazel refused to say something.

"But you didn't ask about the musical." She continued.

"I'm sorry, Annabeth, we'll ask next time." Nico replied sarcastically.

"What about it?" Will asked.

"They're making the continuation of last year! They're making High School Musical 2!"

"Really?"

"Yup."

Last year, they'd all performed in the well-known High School Musical show. They'd been surprised they could sing as well as their paralelisms with their characters. Since they would perform for an entire month non-stop, there had been two casts.

That was how Annabeth and Percy met. They performed as Gabriella and Troy, respectively. Like her character, Annabeth was crazy smart and had originally entered her school for the maths and physics program, but decided to give theater a shot. As she found out, she had a really great voice with a great range and followed to love that form of art. As for Percy, it was shocking to everyone, as he was kind of the stereotypical jock. He was the star and captain of the swimming team and awarded the school with a dozen prizes on his first year.

It didn't come as much as a surprise when they both started officially dating. Everyone on the play would tease them mercilessly and say the characters were made for them.

Even Piper and Jason, who played Gabriella and Troy in the other cast had ended up dating, but it hadn't lasted as much. Jason had originally entered as a jock in the football team

It was also how Nico and Will met and started dating, with the whole cast teasing them as well. But their characters didn't interact a lot, or have chemistry, at least in the first part.

"So, did you hear about the musical?" Silena asked as she plopped down next to Will and grabbed one of his french fries. She'd played Sharpay last year, but she was a much better person and friend than her character.

"What musical?" Leo asked. He wasn't interested in either scenic arts nor sports. Although he could dance to a certain point, he'd joined the school for their maths and physics program, just like Annabeth.

"The one they're doing this year." Silena answered.

"Annabeth just told us." Will commented.

"So, are you auditioning?"

"Yes!" Nico and Will said at the same time, before sharing a kiss.

"No." Leo replied crossly while working on his project.

"Yup." Annabeth said.

"What about you, Percy?" Silena asked.

"I don't know," he admitted. "I'm not really sure it's my thing."

"That is such a Troy thing to say." Will commented.

"Yeah, you were an amazing Troy last year," Silena added.

"Last year." Percy remarked.

"Why not?" Annabeth asked her boyfriend.

"I don't really think I hace a good voice. Or can act, like put the emotion into it." Percy admitted.

"You have a really great voice, Seaweed Brain." Annabeth reassured him.

"Yeah, and the fact you know acting is about putting emotion into it shows you do know about the art." Silena comforted him

"I just don't know. I really want to focus on swimming now."

"Please, you're the most talented swimmer I've ever seen, and I come from Venetia." Nico said.

He just shrugged. "I don't really know. Coach won't like it."

"That's literally the plot of High School Musical," Will whispered under his breath.

"Please, Seaweed Brain? Can you think about it?"

Percy stared into Annabeth's begging eyes he couldn't resist. "Ok, I'll think about it."

"What about you, Leo?"

"Oh, I don't dance."

[kazucee]

It's almost valentines day! Which means, SOLANGELO SCHOOL AU CONTENT.

Nico the type of have a huge crush on the blonde haired sunny boy from the other classroom.

Nico also walking really slow when he passes said sunny boys classroom.

*but running away when they make eye contact*

Jason the type to go to sunny boy's classroom, ask him to write 'Happy birthday' for Nico on his birthday, then give it to Nico making him blush hella hard and die inside.

Nico the type to spend money on the (stupid as he would call it) valentines day activities (which is sending his crush a letter anonymously) then regretting it as soon as it's sent.

Then he gets a reply black from sunny boy and just dies.

Will the type to know this entire time and find it adorable.

Will also the type to request a song and dedicate it to Nico.

Gotta love the gays 😭 hopefully everyone finds their Nico's and Will's this hearts day!! Or we can all go solo bcuz we all know cupid sucks.

[nonascoldcoffee]

my fics need to start writing themselves at this point idk

[sclangelc]

solangelo week day 4 - au @solangeloweek

remembered i could make comics of my aus... art school solangelo has been living in my head rent free. if u even care...

[wrongcaitlyn]

okay fuck so i got an anon ask for solangelo fic recs and then i made a draft on my phone but then deleted it bc i wanted to type it out on my computer but then that deleted the ask too so!! hopefully this reaches the anon i apologize deeply for losing your ask😭

but anyway. SOLANGELO FIC RECS. ALWAYS. ANYTIME. I HAVE SO MANY

so first of all if you wanna check out my ao3 i have a bunch of recs in my bookmarks (57 solangelo ones im pretty sure)

but here are some of my favs

i'm put in awe (of something so flawed and free) by CordeliaRose (@cordelia---rose)

archaeologist!Nico & trauma surgeon!Will AU. this fic is. ohmgyod. nico's internal dialogue is just absolutely perfect in this fic and i laughed so hard and god it was just so beautifully written?? but also solangelo are literally so cute. like. ahglskdf. i gotta reread this actually but anyway (also anything by this author, absolutely hilarious, such good writing)

dumb, dumb love by thegoldenappleofdiscord

five times nico and will are dumb and in love, and the one time they are totally 100% dead serious. i love a good outsider's pov, and this fic is just gorgeous. it's a bunch of different perspectives into solangelo, and it's pure fluff, and it's got some of my favorite solangelo quotes (like, when i read fanfic i screenshot parts i rlly like and i practically screenshotted this entire fic), and their characterization is just so so accurate they're so so in love

paris by ethannku (@ethannku)

Nico has a travel YouTube channel. And a crush on one Will Solace. i'm such a sucker for socmed au's and this one is done SO so well. my all time favorite. and it's sequel too!! the formatting i am in awe of, but other than that, it's just a really good time and i just love all the little details. i've reread this too many times to count and was SO excited when a sequel was published, and i can only hope that there's more to the au in the future!! (also this author writes incredible solangelo fics and even more valgrace fics which i recently just bingeread and are soo good)

Perfect Places by buoyantsaturn (@buoyantsaturn)

“My name’s Will,” he started - so far so good - but then continued, “and I guess my favorite food to cook would be, um, frozen pizza.” Was Nico only attracted to idiots? this one's fucking hilarious. i can't even put it to words like their dynamic in this fic is so funny and yet so cute and nico is honestly just like. shocked that will is somehow still alive?? will's a safety hazard. but also piper and jason in this fic are so funny too, it's honestly just such a good, fun read (and, once again, this author's incredible. read everything by them)

I Can't Help It If You Look Like an Angel by the_oncoming_stormaggedon (@lordstormageddidnt)

Will Solace is a pre-med student whose friends run a true crime podcast called "Nothing to See Here". Nico di Angelo, despite not realizing he's a missing person, is the subject of one of the episodes. They meet by chance in a random bar, and shenanigans ensue. i mean, if it's got a taylor swift title, i'm already sold. and then it's part of a series called "Hey Stephen is a solangelo song and i will die on that hill" which is the realest thing ever?? but ASIDE from that, i could honestly rec this entire series (+ the other series it's a part of, "Nothing to See Here" which is all part of the same au) and also everything by this author - it's hilarious, i just love the premise, and the writing is so good!! and hey stephen is a solangelo song, thereby reinforcing my "fearless is will's favorite album ever of all time and i will die on this hill" argument

Even When the Music's Gone by the_oncoming_stormaggedon

It's the 74th Annual Hunger Games, and Nico and Will are the last two tributes alive. haha this is pure angst. just gutwrenching angst. love a good hunger games au and some MCD!

can i handle the seasons of my life? by buoyantsaturn

“I think that most people your age finished high school, and whether they knew what they wanted to do with the rest of their life or not, they went to college. That was their version of ditching everything they knew in order to find themselves. Maybe it’s time for you to stop taking advice from other kids who grew up the same way you did, and take it from someone who used to be normal.”  FAME AU FAME AU FAME AU FAME AU i mean, not REALLY about the fame aspect of it, but i still love it so so much. will's essentially a nepo baby turned not-nepo-baby turned college student and nico's naomi's driver, and there's even... there's EVEN A VERY BRIEFLY IMPLIED POLLEN. yeah they're relationship is just so cute in this and i love the au and i love how it's written and ugh i need more fame au's in my life

so it turns out teachers don't live at school by RegretfullyRegretful (@marbleheavy)

Nico's TA and students are determined to figure out something, anything about him. Of course, it would all just be a lot easier if they asked. Either way, Professor di Angelo is decidedly a lonely hermit. (Someone should really tell his husband and baby that) this was one of the first solangelo fics i ever read, and it's just. so. funny. another outsider's pov bc i love it, and just... the assumptions abt nico, the fluff of solangelo, and then their story of how they got together is so...ahhsdlkjs this author is just a master at tooth-rotting fluff go read everything they write

my lover's the sunlight by demigodbeautiies

Figure Skater Nico di Angelo has a run in with Ice Hockey Player Will Solace. It doesn't go too smoothly, but then again - when does it ever? OLYMPICS AU. FAME(ISH) AU. IM OBSESSED THIS IS WRITTEN SO WELL and like... the very brief part where it feels a lot like a fame au like i just i'm obsessed can you tell. the writing is just beautiful in this, i love nico's internal dialogue, and... i mean, it's an olympics au. ofc its perfect

The Stolen God by TsarinaTorment (@tsarinatorment)

Python is defeated. The prophecies are restored, and Nero has fallen. Apollo has not been seen since. His trials are over; why isn’t he back on Olympus? okay so. this is a bit of a longer fic. and it's a post-toa, pjoxmcga crossover, and it's not *entirely* focused on solangelo - but when i tell you that this fic, if i weren't reading it on ao3, i would truly and full-heartedly believe was a real life published novel - i am NOT LYING. i rec'd this to my friend right after i read it bc i was just like so so obsessed with it and it's literally just. the plot?? is insane. i'm in awe of the author, bc this isn't even the only novel-length fic that they've written with an insane plot too (their fic Eclipse is also phenomenal, but it's more focused on apollo and hades so i didn't rec it here) there's some fierrochase here, lester being lester, and some very very very cute solangelo! and meg! i think sometimes you read a fic and you're like "oh, shit, that could be a novel, and i would think it's better than some actual novels i've read" and this is one of them

(Please Don't Let Me) Fade Alone by TsarinaTorment

Please. Don't let me. the summary's really short here so it's basically that will gets very very very injured and then apollo saves him (rip, i'm sorry, i suck at summaries) once again this isn't necessarily nico focused... it's much more will & apollo. this author writes the absolute best stuff for the apollo cabin, genuinely, if you love will/cabin 7/apollo PLEASE read everything they've ever written but this is just so angsty and the hurt/comfort is so real and goddd it's so good

he was seen on occasion (pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea) by stargirltv

Nico di Angelo is a completely normal eighteen year old. He attends high school, has a socially acceptable amount of friends for a social outcast and has been in a relationship for the past four years with the guy he’s pretty sure he’s going to marry. He also happens to be the world's biggest bedroom pop artist, ‘Hell’s Angel’, with a fan base that will stop at nothing to uncover his true identity and a Father that continually pushes him to be better. His boyfriend freaking out under every single one of his tweets is making it a bit easier for them to figure it out. so. fame au. y'all already know the premise of this is just absolutely hilarious and the interview?? the posts?? will just being will and i absolutely love his characterization?? and the friend group?? this is one of the funniest things ever but also just written so well anddddd yes yes yes it's a fame au POPSTAR NICO RIGHTS except he's not *really* a popstar in this one but like close enough oh AND it's a taylor swift title??? like this fic was made for me basically

okay that was MUCH longer than intended but i hope you enjoy some of the fics on here!! pls let me know if y'all ever want more recs i read literally so many fics - and if you guys ever want to give me any recs, feel free to do so! as of today, i have read *checks fic tracker bc i'm obsessive and need to keep track of everything* about 7.3 million words of fanfic this year. and that's actually less than normal (for me)

also if anyone reads patrochilles please read this fic it's literally been in my head nonstop for the past few weeks since i've read it and it's one of the best things i've ever read and like holyshit if you read patrochilles read it read it read it

[ellemeditdance]

Ok ok ok ok ok

A Solangelo Wicked AU

I told myself I wouldn't start writing it until after the holidays because I am busy, but it won't stop turning around in my head so have a headcannon list:

- Will is Glinda and Nico is Elphaba, obviously

- They will get a happy ending together somehow

- Fiyero is Annabeth. There's not any secondary romance with her and Nico or Will, but maybe for a second Nico thinks she and Will are together

- But she does have a romance with Percy, who is Dorothy (not a child)

- The initial reasoning for Percy being Dorothy was just, he drops a house on Nico's sister, and we all know Nico blames Percy for Bianca's death

- But then I also realized, if Annabeth is the scarecrow, maybe the baby animal they rescued was a satyr, not a lion. Now we have the golden trio on a quest

- Boq is not real. He does not exist.

- Chiron is obviously Dr. Dillamond

- The discrimination is against animals and also magical creatures, like satyrs and centaurs

- Instead of the wizard of Oz, it's the great wizard Kronos, who turns out to be just some guy named Luke behind a curtain

- I feel like Percy ends up fighting him somehow

- It's just an enemies to lovers college au but with magic and political intrigue

- Oh! And the school is called Schist!

[buoyantsaturn]

read my friends' fics from 2024 or else

The Father Dilemma by ember @gatesofember from the wild west au series

A year after deciding to stay permanently, Nico di Angelo has long since settled into Ladon Creek. He has two bothersome but loyal housemates, a caring community of friends, and a loving partner. His days have never been so peaceful and he never thought he’d feel so happy. But his calm, blissful life is thrown into disarray when he learns some truly sinister news: Will’s father is coming to visit. [T, 6,841, 2/7]

FAR GALAXIES by rosy @rosyredlipstick

She didn’t answer. Instead, she pulled out her PADD from her coat, slow enough that Nico only slightly twitched. Jason’s transmission was loaded up on the screen—at the bottom, their signature tag was spelled out. “Guardians of the Galaxy. That supposed to be a joke?” “More like an aspiration,” Jason said. - Space, the final frontier. Or whatever. [E, 365,994, 14/14]

three-in-one soap by emi @thelordofshrimp

Austin glared at his sister. “Will can’t lie, genius. He says that since he became head counselor, any shower that lasts more than three minutes gets interrupted by someone needing his help.” “That’s… crazy.” Nico considered the number of showers he’d taken even in his short time at camp and imagined if even half of them had been interrupted. “It is,” Jerry agreed. “Not like there’s much we can do about it, though.” “You can always do something about it.” Nico sat up. “There has to be something.” “Not unless you can somehow keep the whole camp safe at once.” [G, 5,798, 4/4]

I wanna make you mine, but that's hard to say by ethan @ethannku

Rather than dignifying Will’s likely insult with a response, Nico took another deep inhale, then tipped his head back to blow the smoke straight up into the air. When he tipped his head to the side, he found that Will was still watching him, his eyes cast low, maybe to Nico’s shoulders or neck or mouth-- [T, 8,615]

kiss with a fist is better than none by lori @sunflowersandscreams

Well, if he wanted to play it like that, then Will would meet him halfway. “I meant it. What I said earlier. I would have liked to make peace so we can get over this whole… whatever, but you just had to be an asshole, so never mind, I guess.” Nico looked at him, bored, a distinct lack of an expression on his face. “You think I’d really believe that? That you’d be so courteous, so kind, as to- what, ‘use your hand as an olive branch’? I’m not naïve, Solace.” “I wasn’t saying that you- it’s not like-” Will bit his tongue. “You don’t wanna be nice to each other? Fine. I don’t care. It’s not like it would change much, or that we could change much, at this point.” “Your guilt tripping isn’t going to affect me.” Nico tilted his chin up, angry now. “Maybe I’m fine with being like this? Or maybe it just doesn’t matter as much as you seem to think it does.” ~ Nico and Will have been rivals slash sworn enemies since the beginning of high school, when they both joined the orchestra. Things change, for better or worse. [T, 62,457, 6/8]

Does This Still Count as Solangelo Week if It's July by alfie @lordstormageddidnt

Will likes cuddling with Nico in his sleep. Nico likes cuddling with Will. But Nico does not like waking up in a pool of sweat because his boyfriend is half-sun-god, half-space-heater. [G, 1,232]

never a clean break (no one here to save me) by katherine @yrbeecharmer from the exes au series

It’s been a year and a half since Aphrodite’s shitshow, since they finally processed the things they never had and agreed to move on, and how many times has Will made it clear they’re fine now? Not that they really talk about it in so many words anymore, but that’s because they shouldn’t have to. They’re friends. Not close ones, but friends. And Nico has a boyfriend. So why on earth is he calling Will, right now, to do this? [M, 12,444]

a sweet tooth for you series by becca @thebhorror

Nico works in a bakery and is determined to make Will fall in love with him his baked goods [G, 23,447]

& if you stay too long it will kill you marble @marbleheavy

As he looked up and stared at the sky, his thoughts seemed to fall through the grates of the fire escape. He could pretend that the flickering light from the planes passing by were stars if he didn’t think too much about it. As if the light pollution hadn’t swallowed the whole of his visible universe. He took a drag from the cigarette and sighed, dropping his gaze back ahead. [T, 1,232]

bulls and blood by allison @rainnows

Cowboys were not Nico’s type. At least, that’s what he’d been telling himself for the better part of two hours, propped up as he was against a fence bordering the arena, where he definitely wasn’t allowed to be, photographer’s pass around his neck or not. [T, 1,213]

Fic Rec Friday

Thanks again to @mediumgayitalian for the idea!

Below are 5 fics I've enjoyed this past week/recently.

IT'S A SCREAM, BABY! by @rosyredlipstick

https://archiveofourown.org/works/45360994

Summary:

It’s June 1984, Prince is at the top of the charts, and Nico di Angelo has spent the last three weeks scratching at mosquito bites and herding around a group of elementary school kids—and somehow it’s been the best summer of his life. - “Welcome to Camp Crystal Lake!” Jason yelled over, ever-polite.

--

Okay I'm back with another Rosy rec. When I tell you this story literally captured me within the first paragraph and held me in a vice grip the entire time. I literally started the beginning and went "now this is how you start a story" and then couldn't put it down. This is a horror/slasher AU, but none of the major characters die! It's a love letter to a lot of horror films, so if you're in to that sort of thing, I'd totally recommend. Or if you're like me and don't really watch horror, I'd still recommend because it's that good. Also once again Will and Nico's dynamic is top tier in this fic, and I really love Will's POV.

The Other "Heroes" by SirOliverSurface

https://archiveofourown.org/works/29528811

Summary:

Percy Jackson had seen weird before. Swimming in the River Styx to gain invincibility to fight the Titan lord of time was "weird". Getting your memory wiped by the goddess of marriage and family in a gambit to unite Greek and Roman demigods was "weird". Having a spiritual attachment to blue food was... well... completely understandable, no matter how much Leo joked about it. But this? This is "weird".

When a battle goes wrong, and magic goes wild, the son of Poseidon and Hero of Olympus finds himself dumped in a world that seems strangely familiar. The Greek Gods are still around, the old myths were really true, all seems well. But one thing has changed: the people he's come to love. And it doesn't take long for him to figure out that these new faces all miss someone else, too; Hero of Olympus, and daughter of Poseidon, Percie Jackson.

--

This is Percabeth centric, with Solangelo as a side ship, but this story is so good. Granted, I'm only about 150k in, but the writing has captivated me, and the adventure our heroes go on is fascinating to me. Plus I just love the "other" versions of all the heroes. Will I ever be able to finish it? Maybe in 2 years, but hey! It's my go-to fall back on fic when I'm running out of things to read. (It's 1.2 million words!)

August by CordeliaRose

https://archiveofourown.org/works/49031647

Summary:

Somehow, Nico's life only gets more confusing after he defeats a primordial Goddess.

Will Solace accounts for about 90% of that confusion.

(A journey through August, and all its ups and downs.)

--

I just had to rec this story, as I am about to re-read it only a couple of weeks after finishing it the first time because it's just that good. This follows the rest of August after the end of BoO, and the way Will and Nico's relationship develops is just absolutely stunning. Also Nico and Will are autistic coded in this story and it just makes me beyond happy.

peach tea by ghosttotheparty

https://archiveofourown.org/works/48987730

Summary:

He sits up after a moment, but Nico doesn’t let go of his fingers, so he lifts the arm that’s awkward between them and sets it behind Nico, leaning back to rest on it. Nico just looks at the tapestry.

Will brushes his thumb over the side of Nico’s hand gently. His skin is soft. Nico’s fingers tighten on Will’s. It kind of feels like neither of them wants to move. Will doesn’t mind.

or; Will falls in love with the new kid.

--

I love the way ghosttotheparty writes intimacy, just, warm, soft, fragile moments that have such a wonderful air to them. I'm not usually one for high school AU's, but I love their characterization of Will and Nico so much that I just had to try this story, and I'm so glad I did. There's a particular scene where Will helps Nico down from a panic attack, and it just made me want to cry it was so well done. Just a lovely story.

Safe (better keep that thought to yourself) by @buoyantsaturn

https://archiveofourown.org/works/42721455

Summary:

Nico figured he was probably overprepared, but it was better to be safe than sorry, especially when leaving his child with some guy he barely knew and a kid he’d never met.

God, he hoped Will wasn’t some kind of psychopath. 

--

I'm back again with another one of CJ's lovely works. I'd been looking for a cute Parent!Nico and Parent!Will kidfic, and this story absolutely delivers. The way that both Will and Nico stumble around each other is so endearing in this story, and their kids are JUST the cutest!! I absolutely recommend this story.

--

Okay that's all! I'll probably keep doing this until I run out of fics to recommend. Have a good friday lovelies!

[rosesradio]

So i read the ask you got about a mortal au and it got me thinking in a mortal au, what job would the seven plus nico and will have as adults in your opinion?

hm, the seven (+ nico & will) with jobs...inch resting

annabeth: the most obvious one, but architect. between designing olympus and going to that school mentioned in cotg, it seems like she's farther along in her career at 17 than i am at 21 (it's fine it's fine)

percy: i think percy would jump job to job, maybe working at a skate shop through college, then an aquarium tour guide, and then ultimately as a social worker. i've seen a lot of sweet headcanons on how he would want to help kids in rough situations that remind him of himself, and i whole-heartedly agree. (in the canon-verse, i also think he'd want to work close to camp, perhaps as a sword instructor part-time during the summer or something)

will: i can't emphasize enough how much i don't interact with will content...i have nothing against the guy lol (other than not being a solangelo fan, though that's not the fault of a fictional character), i just happen to not get into his character. that being said, i'm choosing the boring answer: doctor. specifically, a pediatric doctor, as i think he'd be really good with kids :-)

nico: this guy's unpredictable...either unemployed/Don't Ask Where He Got His Money From, a medium (guy that can commune with the dead, usually for grieving families), a freelance artist (in this economy??), or an english teacher who is every-now-&-then possesed to talk about The Nuances (just like me fr) (and again, in this economy??)

frank: zoologist... or archery coach?? [gunshots]

hazel: archeologist. depending on the mortal au's alteration of The Whole Being Dead Thing + her abilities aside, i think she would take an interest in studying history on site & through the earth

piper: why can i potentially see her as like an influencer lmaoo...but like a normal one, one that makes 45 minute long commentaries on some movie from 2004 that no one remembers, but it's so funny that people can't help but love it. i could also see her dabbling in fashion depending on her stances given the Not Like Other Girls of it all.

leo: again with the obvious, but a mechanic like his mom. i could see him making some new invention that rockets him into fame & fortune, or i could see him maintaining a comfortable living fixing things for his community. i also think he'd feature on piper's youtube channel lmao

jason: nepo baby [gunshots] uhh...this one is difficult. it's hard to say i think in part because richard himself didn't have a future planned for him. i think that he was primed for leadership for so long (whatever that may mean in a mortal au compared to that of canon), that in the event that he steps out of that space, he would feel like a fish out of water. that being said, i'm just thinking about those posts about how his fighting was underutilized in canon. i could see him being like a martial arts instructor, though he would work to approach his instructor role with kindness rather than the brutality of wolves his mortal upbringers
