Yay, I can see the reviews!

To RandomFanAuthor- (Chapter 9)- Of course Mr D ships Percabeth! They're like THE OTP. And the stabbing thing- I was talking to my friend at the time (Hulkbat, if you're reading this, HELLO! ^_^ ) and suggested that as part of the reaction to the (FINALLY!) Percabeth proposal, someone should get stabbed. So my theory is that Travis panicked at all the screaming and accidentally stabbed Clarisse while training, or something to that effect! (Chapter 10)- Right? I mean, they are the cabin of love, so why shouldn't they be more LGBT+++ (I'm sorry, I forget all the letters! D: ) And Jercy brotp... I'm just thinking of an entire chapter where they're just 'bro?/bro!' and everyone wants to STAB THEM FOR IT.

To HoO Fan- (Chapter 6) I don't know if it's true, buuuut I headcanon that Will can sense medical anomalies and such just by touching people, like in BoO, how he touched Nico's hand and immediately felt the darkness on him and gave him doctor's orders for no more Underworldy stuff. And thank you! I am currently playing with old ideas combined with requests and just throwing in a bunch of new stuff, oooorrr they come from sleep-deprived me, which is my best state for writing, I find. Zero fucks given! I may do a Jiper one next- are we still talking grieving-Piper for Jason NAPPING? (Psst, I woke him up) and the Reyisa one will come a bit later as I wanted to space them out a bit more! I think I still need to post a Solangelo one? O.o (Chapter 7) Percico below! Jasper is next on my list! (But remind me, just in case!)

To zantarak- thank you! Follow up below! Enjoy! ^_^ Apologies in advance for any mistakes, I have a cold and can't breathe through my nose and I'm hungry, so... please ignore all bad spelling and grammar, it was not intended! ^_^


"Percy 'n' Nico sittin' in a tree-"

"I am begging you."

"Doin' somethin' they shouldn't be-"

"Those aren't even the words!" He clamped a hand over Louisa's mouth, thoroughly convinced his face was on fire. She smirked at him and he recoiled, shaking his hand. "Did you lick me?"

"Duh." She shrugged. "Oh, don't look at me like that, what else did ya expect? Dumbass."

"I thought you were supposed to be helping me?"

"Eh. Helpin'. Hinderin'. Same difference." She smiled sweetly. Nico groaned, falling onto his bed and face-planting his pillow. "Don't even think 'bout tryin' ta suffocate yaself." She said, pulling on his leg. "I have no problem comin' down ta the Underworld ta piss you off there too." Nico looked to his right, into the main section of the cabin, and sighed.

"I don't find that surprising in the least."

"Good. Means ya learnin'."

"Learning what, Lou? How much of a pain you really are?"

"Oh, buddy, you ain't seen nothin' yet." She cackled. Nico stuck his face back in the pillow. He only looked up when she sat on his lower legs, tying his shoelaces together between his shoes.

"Get off."

"Make me."

"Don't make me tell Reyna."

"Nah, dude, she'd love it! Another one on our side!"

"Side? What do you mean, side?"

"Gay. Bi. Whatever. I won't lie ta ya, cuz, I'm still learnin' all the words." She leaned from the bed, rolling onto the floor and coming up standing, with her bag in hand. She tipped the contents onto the floor, selecting a notebook from the debris. "Here, look, I've been writin' 'em down as I go. Piper's been helpin' me." When he didn't look, simply glaring at her instead, she proceeded to jab the butt of the notebook into his face over and over again.

Nico managed about seven jabs before snatching it from her. He sat up as he flicked through the pages- not only had she penned in variations of the LGBT community, she had also written herself little definitions and examples and some names too.

"What's this, Lou, your hit list?"

"Not so loud, Nico, don't want 'em all knowin'." She replied in a deadpan. "Nah, Pipes said I should ask other people 'cos everyone has a different situation. Those are people I've talked to. Dead helpful. Unlike you. Which is ironic really, considerin'-"

"Yes, yes, my father is god of the dead. I got it."

"Sure?"

"Yes. It wasn't funny the first fifty thousand times and it's not funny now."

"Dude, it's hilarious. Laugh."

"The day you make me laugh-"

"-is the day the Styx freezes over." She finished for him, smiling. "'N' just like every other time ya've said that, I've told ya- challenge accepted. I mean, completed several million times-"

"Twice."

"-but still. Challenge accepted. You're a miserable bastard."

"Thanks, Lou, that instils me with confidence."

"Then my job is done."

"You didn't do anything."

"Not true."

"Oh, of course. You gave me a headache."

"You're welcome." She grinned. "Now are we gonna sit here all day while I take the piss outta you, or are we gonna get ya a boyfriend?" He flushed crimson and threw her notebook back at her, crossing his arms over his chest. "Point proven." She said, poking the side of his head with the notebook. "Miserable bastard." He turned his head away. Louisa complained wordlessly, tipping her head back and rolling her eyes. "Uuuuuggggghhhhhhh."

"I'm not talking to you."

"Your loss."


They were playing Mythomagic later- well, Nico was playing. Louisa was cheating.

"Water floods ya head 'n' ya brain explodes, boom, I win."

"For the billionth time, that's not how Mythomagic works! Your attack points are rubbish compared to mine."

"Bitch please, Poseidon is way better than Hades, purely because he has more awesome kids than Hades does, but that's just a personal preference, totally ain't biased or anythin'."

"Totally." Nico agreed flatly. "Now will you please play one game by the rules? Just one?"

"Nah." A knock at the door stopped him from shoving her cards down her throat. "Come in!" Louisa called. "But only if ya have food!" Percy stuck his head around the door.

"I've got some sugar cubes? What, I was on my way to see Blackjack." Louisa cleared her throat pointedly and he sighed. "And Storm, obviously. Can't forget Storm."

"Damn straight. What'd ya want? We're busy."

"I can see that." He nodded, a sarcastic lift of an eyebrow. Louisa pointed at him, pointed at herself, pointed back to him and then mimed breaking something. Her brother was instantly contrite, stepping into the cabin. "I actually came to see Nico. You know, being his cabin and all."

"Ah, bro. It's Friday. Ya know that's my piss-Nico-off day."

"I thought that was every day?"

"No. Tuesdays are for Annabeth."

"Oh, I bet she loves that." Percy forced a smile. Louisa cackled, shuffling her cards.

"Noooo she does not! Draw four!"

"That's not even part of this game!" Nico exasperated, throwing up his hands. He ranted to her in solid Italian for almost a minute. Louisa plonked her elbow on her knee, her chin in her hand and listened, not understanding a single word, but rather enjoying this tone.

He waggled a finger in her face, still going. Louisa smirked and he faltered, exhaling like he was trying to deflate. "I hate you." He finally settled with.

"No ya don't."

"I do."

"Who buys ya Mythomagic, cuz? Me. 'Cos I'm awesome."

"Is that why you're always broke?"

"Yes, blame Nico."

"Uh, please! You spend just as much if not more on food!"

"A worthy cause! Speakin' of though, I am hungry. Ciao!" She sprung to her feet and left. But not before she closed the door slowly, smirking at Nico through the dwindling gap.

"Your sister," he huffed, "is going to get pushed down the stairs by a zombie and it won't be my fault."

"Sounds probable." Percy agreed, pushing the door shut on her and ignoring her protests. "Go and get food!" He ordered. She thumped the door, stomped down the steps and stormed off, muttering to herself. "I'm still convinced she's a changeling child. Or Mom imagined having two of us."

"Pretty sure that's hard to imagine, given how painful childbirth is."

"Yeeeaaahh, that's…" Percy grimaced. "I can't argue with that. Mind if I sit?" He motioned to his sister's vacated spot on the floor. Nico nodded, also motioning to the same spot in case Percy had missed it. Well, that was stupid, he mentally chided, heart thudding as Percy sat opposite him and picked up Louisa's cards, anymore bright ideas, di Angelo, or are you going to sit here with a face like global warming?

Probably that last one, a small voice responded, it's easier to do, because we're already doing that.

Percy frowned at the cards. "I still don't get this game." He admitted, shuffling through the deck. "Does she always have Poseidon?"

"Yes. She likes to cheat as well."

"That's just how she plays any game. It's no longer called cheating, but the Louisa-special. Do not play Uno with her, she gets upset and tries to rip your arms off. Well, slight exaggeration, but Tyson won't play with her anymore."

"I don't blame him. If I could get out of it, I would."

"Nah, you wouldn't." Percy smiled. "She drives you mad, she drives everyone mad, but you wouldn't turn her away from a game of Mythomagic, Nico. Your inner nerd won't let you."

"If she floods my brain and makes it explode once more, my inner nerd is just going to have to suck it up."

"Aww, she's a love, ain't she?"

"No. She's a dick." Percy gaped at him. "What?"

"Language!"

"Oh, like you're much better!"

"Erm, excuse you, but I am a true gentleman!" Nico scoffed. Percy ignored him. "Lou's the one with the sailor's mouth!"

"Really? I hadn't noticed."

"Maybe you need your ears tested then. Going deaf in your old age and all that." Nico frowned at him, narrowing his eyes slightly. Percy sat forward slightly, propping his chin up on his hand. "Trying to figure out who's the more annoying twin?"

"Yep."

"Decided yet?"

"Jury's still out."

"Well, let me know." Percy smirked. "I do have a reputation to uphold, after all."

"Wow, I must have blinked and missed it." Nico deadpanned. Percy snorted, sitting back slightly as he laughed. Nico ducked behind his cards, reaching a crisis-imminent-death level of global warming in his face. Percy Jackson, in his cabin, with his Mythomagic cards, laughing at his joke. Gods, he was adorable.

He was startled from his thoughts by Percy messing his hair.

"I love your sense of humour." He grinned. "Come on then, teach us this nerd game. I'm keeping Poseidon though."


Louisa made her way back to Cabin Thirteen, wolfing down her fifth bacon sandwich. She made to knock on the door in her usual fashion, when she heard Nico swearing in Italian; "Those aren't the rules!"

"You said I could-"

"Not with Ares, Athena!"

"But I don't have Athena!"

"Then you can't use that move!"

"Well, now what am I supposed to do?"

"Nothing, you've lost!"

"I have not!" Percy protested. "Uh, I use, uh… ah, there it is! I use my Thanatos card and revive the dead!"

"That's not how that works either!"

"Oh, for the love of- I don't understand this game! And it doesn't help you keep yelling at me."

"I'm not yelling!" Nico yelled. Louisa heard her brother's snickers. "Jury's in, you're more annoying."

"Told you." Percy grinned. Louisa moved away from the door, shoving the last of the sandwich in her mouth. She sidled around the edge of the building, standing on her toes to see through the window. Percy had stolen her seat and her cards, but they were all in the discarded pile and Nico still held most of his deck. Percy didn't notice her, his back to the window she was spying through. Nico did, glowering and frantically waving her away. Percy looked up and Nico froze, turning the go away into a tired stretch. "Go again. But give me Athena this time- it's about time her and Dad worked together. Here, you can have Hera." They swapped cards. Nico threw Louisa another glare. She smiled around her mouthful of sandwich and gave him a thumbs-up, ducking when her brother turned. "Uh, everything OK?"

"It's nothing." Nico insisted. "Thought I saw an idiot."

"Might just be your reflection."

"You know what, I am no longer going to go easy on you. Prepare to lose. Spectacularly."

"Story of my life, that. Alright, let's go." Louisa stood back up, Percy's attention on the game. Nico cast one last wary glance towards the window, scowling when he saw she had returned. She pointed at him, then at Percy, made a heart with her hands. Nico looked ready to throw something at her, but Percy tapped him on the leg. "Your turn. I think I'm doing this right." Nico played his turn, sending one last fuck off look to Louisa while Percy examined his cards. She puffed on the glass, writing U O ME.

Then she smiled, waved merrily and sauntered off, feeling rather victorious.


Ta da! ^_^
