《A Christmas Tale (Nicercy)》Talking in the Cold
Advertisement
Nico's POV
Percy looked adorable in the winter. His cheeks were a bright red and he was bundled up in an Eskimo puffer jacket. As a son of Poseidon he was used to hot, beach weather, not at all suited for the cold. I however was always cold so this snowy cold weather didn't bother me at all.
"N-Nico, h-how ar-re, y-you n-not c-cold-d-d," He shivered, teeth chattering with the cold.
"I am used to the cold," I told him "it's about this cold in the underworld,"
At this, he frowned, not comfortable with the amount of time I spent there, and running errands for my father. I could feel a lecture coming on in 3, 2, 1-
"Nico...You know how I feel about this... I just don't understand why you have to spend so much time down there. What if you get hurt and no one's there to help you? What if-what if you fall into a hole and STARVE TO DEATH?! What if you get caught by a monster when you're on one of your 'errands'? What if-"
I covered his mouth with my hand. "Percy. Calm down. Most of those situations I can just shadow travel out of. Besides, we survived a war, I will be fine. Breath Percy."
"I'm sorry." He sighed. "I just get worried." He shivered again.
"It's fine." I replied
"Buuuuut,"
"What?" I said, slightly annoyed
"Can you not do it just up until Christmas? Please?" His eyes widened, pleading with me.
"Dammit Perce you know I can't resist your kitten eyes!"
"So you won't?"
"I won't," I grumbled
"Yes! Swear it on the River Styx."
"I swear I will not run any errands for my father up until after Christmas Day. Happy?"

"Yup!" He smiled an especially cute smile and I ruffled his hair.
"Hey!" He tried to brush my hand away but it was a half-hearted effort and he was laughing.
I messed with his hair every chance I got, because who wouldn't?
I was also quite a bit taller than him now, so I liked reminding him that and taking advantage of it.
"We should probably get inside, our friends are waiting for us," Percy suggested
"Nah, I'm sure they can wait. They're probably just ordering the food."
"I know, I'm just cold" He said
"Oh. Here put my hoodie on underneath."
I held his jacket while he quickly got into mine and then I put his over the top.
He looked cute in my clothes. Well he looked cute in anything, but still...
"What about you? Aren't you freezing?"
To be honest I was getting a bit cold, but I wasn't about to tell Percy that.
"I'm fine."
Underneath my hoodie I was wearing a long sleeved top, so it wasn't that bad. I could see he was about to argue so I started up a conversation.
"So...Anything interesting happen today?"
"Hmm...well...Wait yes something did happen!"
"What?" I asked, interested. It was endearing to see his child-like excitement.
"So I woke up, and there was an nemo plushie toy with a note that said 'Just an early Christmas present. 24 more days till Christmas and when I'll reveal myself. I'll be back soon. From your secret admirer.' It was so sweet,"
Wait. No. This was not good. Who was sending MY Percy early Christmas gifts?

Path of the Ancients
When humans with the ability to control the fundamental particles of the universe with their minds were first discovered, the age of space travel began in earnest. Relativistic travel faster than the speed of light became possible and humanity moved out into the stars. When it was discovered that these Mages could be turned into effective weapons, humanity turned back to its oldest pastime of war. Hundreds of years later as humanity was on the brink of self-destruction, with its taste for war finally beginning to wane, a new organization was created. The Conclave was formed to regulate all Mage’s within the human colonies. While the colonies maintained their independence, the Conclave’s control over access to interstellar travel made them the de facto power amongst humanity. As the old saying goes, ‘Power Corrupts’, and many people were unhappy with the way the Conclave had been leveraging its authority, not the least of which were the Mages they controlled. One unregistered illegal Mage by the name of Tyrial had made it his life's mission to dismantle the Conclave at any cost. After spending decades working towards his goals alone, he realized he would need the aid of willing allies in his crusade. Tyrial would need all the help he could get learning to work with others, dealing with his own dark past, and handling unfamiliar feelings of romantic interest. Content Warning Note: They are there to cover my behind. I honestly hesitated to put them there at all but I figured better safe than sorry. Gore in particular barely applies and the sexual content amounts to light Cinemax style at best. But, at least now you can’t say I didn’t warn you. POSTED: Currently, this story is being posted to RoyalRoad and ScribbleHub. If you see this story posted anywhere else, please report it to the user "Tyrial" on either of the aforementioned sites. Thanks!
