#percico hunger games au

[wild-flowerhoney]

okay well. here's my version of the percico hunger games au:

nico's meant to be part of the careers, being reaped in district one (luxury) when he's sixteen/seventeen - except, well, he didn't actually receive training. bianca had and tried to pass on what she knew but it was clear which child hades was interested in keeping alive (or is it). she died in an accident exactly a week before the reaping. and it was decidedly too late to fix his mistake and teach nico what he'd passed onto bianca. the other careers know this and to be frank, nico's just been abandoned and considered useless by pretty much everyone, mentor included. (the di angelo aren't even from district one. hades and maria met during his victory tour - and the capitol turned a blind eye when he kept visiting district twelve and eventually brought the kids back with him after her death.)

percy's the one to volunteer from district twelve, in his last year being reaped too (eighteen), in place of estelle (12, in her first year being reaped) - and he knows he's doing everything to get home. he has a sister and a mother and paul, the only father he's ever known. percy has something to go back to (in the same way nico doesn't), he has no training but he's strong enough from physical work that it's not impossible and that's what matters (percy would be from district four, conceived from poseidon's own victory tour. except he'd really had no interest in the child, not like hades had).

here's how it starts:

day one: nico, the supposed career, is shunned by his group. percy hears them say it'd be mercy, to send him back to his sister and mother (he doesn't like it. not a bit. percy's an older brother, values his family more than anything. they couldn't have said anything worse than that in his mind) and witnesses the fight that ensues - nico is fast, skilled enough with knives but not nearly on their level. it's the anger that fuels him enough to come out of it bruised but whole (after that, they get even more ruthless). the anger and percy, who's quite eager to put them in their places too (if he breaks one of their arms, will the capitol be able to heal it before they get into the arena? he's more than willing to find out). that's their first real interaction - and nico comes out of it angry at percy for getting involved, asking if he really thought nico was this defenceless. percy's just as mad and yells back that they both are, when everyone thinks they're easy pickings.

day two: day after, nico doesn't apologize but he trains near percy and gives him what little information he has on the other careers and from what bianca taught him. they're not friends, they bicker and pretty much bring out each other's most sarcastic self (and maybe that's the closest thing to friendship they've got so. you know).

day two, evening: training scores - percy gets an 8, incredibly high for someone with this little training but not overly so ("don't become a priority for them"). nico gets the full 11, to percy's concern. when asked how he achieved that score and if he knows that he just put a massive target on his back, nico seems decidedly unbothered.

day three: the interviews. they're both dressed up obviously but they joke (kind of) backstage about missing the cuts and bruises they'd given each other ("oh, you don't have my gift anymore? well that's ungrateful of you."). and here's the moment we've been waiting for: nico is asked about girlfriends and shrugs it off, it moves onto boyfriends. other tributes are mentioned, nico looks uncomfortable and blushes but doesn't reveal anything. at this point the interviewer is convinced it's another tribute, though, and brings it up with every other male in the other districts. it gets to percy who, having been "taught" to keep the public's attention by his mentor, runs with it (the blush is real, it's embarrassing, but he spins his little alliance with nico into a full blown friendship, not revealing anything truly incriminating but giving them hints of what they want). nico's mad, again. percy is also mad at him for reacting with anger - didn't percy just ensure them a better shot at victory? what exactly has him so pissed off?

night before the games start: percy doesn't want to go into the arena mad at his only ally, nico agrees. percy tells him about his family, his reasons to go home - when asked about his own, nico says he has nothing (hades and his stepmother didn't even visit after the reaping). percy is uncomfortable, asks him what he means by that, surely there must be a single reason. nico doesn't answer. percy understands what he's not saying, nico has no intention of going home and he never did. probably got an 11 just to make it easier and got mad when percy ensured them at least a couple sponsors for the same reason. nico leaves, giving him a last goodbye. this is when his safety becomes another priority for percy (mirroring canon percy with his search for nico), if percy himself can't win he wants it to be nico - he'll drag him kicking and screaming to the end if he has to. when the thought of having to kill nico pops up he pushes it down, unwilling to entertain it. no need to be worried about it, just yet (literally going "that's future percy's problem").

stopping here bc i might actually write this and im not giving the whole plot JUST YET (suggest mentors/tributes btw just be aware most of them WILL die, the only ones that are 100% going to live are percico).

Just got home from a 7 hour drive. Ugh. I’m so tired. But real quick before I fall asleep, I watched the hunger games the other day and ever since all I’ve been thinking about is Nico. So here’s some things I’ve been thinking of the past few days.

Nicos reaped at 13. The youngest victor in history. The capitals darling, their little Angel of Death. When he’s 16 he declines a random ass interview because it’s Biancas 17th birthday. A few months later she’s reaped and he knows it was his fault.

Bianca allies herself with Percy and Annabeth. Star-cross lovers from another district and she dies in Percy’s arms.

The year after Nico’s reaped again.

Percy chooses him as his and Annabeths’ ally. Mainly out of guilt and obligation. Even if Nico’s survived the games before- he’s 3 years younger than them and Biancas little brother to boot. Annabeth doesn’t trust him, thinks he’s bidding his time to get rid of them for killing his sister. But Nico knows the Capitol, knows Percy and Annabeth are victims just like him and his sister.

Nico is 17 when he joins the rebellion. The same age Bia died.

I have many more thoughts about this au. Including but not limited to Hazel taking Johannas place as the victor without any loved ones who openly detests the capital. & Reyna and Jason as deserters from the capital.

In a world where I wasn’t first and foremost a Nico stan this would probably be Perc*beth but there’s probably a bunch of hunger games fics with them so I’m thinking Percico. Just for the added pain of them being a forbidden romance because of how much the rebellion is fueled by Perc*beth. But also Percy and Nico in that Finnick deleted scene with the rope??? I die.

Anyways this works extra well with Percy as Katniss. Having volunteered for Tyson. Mainly because I don’t think he’d be as willing to play the game as Peeta is, specifically because of how he interacts with the gods. I think he could play Peetas role just like I think Annabeth could be Katniss. But I think it’s best if it’s a bit of a role reversal. Percy as the one who everyone immediately adores, Annabeth fighting tooth and nail to prove herself just as capable.

Pls excuse any mistakes I’m a little delirious- thanks 🫶

#percico #nico di angelo #censored so it doesnt show up in tags #not because I hate that ship #I have a lot more thoughts about this #especially about the other seven-if anyone’s interested I’ll talk about it more when I get up #also we’re not going to talk about that one thing finnicks character had to go through because I’ll cry #I like hurting Nico but what happened to Finnick after becoming a victor makes me sad :((

Hunger games: If your interested let's talk about fashion? What would everyone where to impress the capital?

Percy: Full on sea prince angle with him. Plus show off his tan skin and eyes. Make him hilarious but cute eye candy. When on stage Percy shows off his outfit and it glimmers from the stage lights like stars shining on the ocean.

Nico: Goes for the whole ruler of death angle. He looks like the spitting image of his father but with soft cat eyes of his mom. Full on black Greek outfit with regal cape. Gets a reputation of being incredibly beautiful but silent and awkward.

in my mind, percy starts out with the miner angle, coming from district 12. depending on if luke is his mentor, he'd definitely plan ahead with the stylist to add details that are really just a way to really push the angle of "here is what your precious government does. here is what the capitol lets them do". a government that is held up by past victors - that's a very different angle than the movie. the olympians are victors (through means i wont reveal yet as im still working on how and if to include this new angle or just make them plain old tyrants with a couple exceptions and make my life easier) but they also uphold the capitol's idea in this au, so don't be alarmed when this is referenced.

nico being from the first is obviously as luxurious as possible - black is the main colour but he's covered in gold details and precious gems.

they're both absolutely uncomfortable with it but so are the others - the capitol might see them as pretty but it's yet another way to strip them of identity and autonomy to make them 'palatable' (ive mentioned this a bit in the first post, when they joked about missing the bruises got in training and it really wasn't much of a joke at all. fighting is a tribute's life, the life of the people in the districts. cleaning them and changing it into an honour is the capitol's way to erase that.)

in short, they both hate the spectacle but it's a necessary evil.

Mentor and Tribute ideas: Luke and Annabeth(or they can both be tributes and Hermes and Athena can be their mentors), Thalia and Jason(Zeus and Juno as mentors)Octavian and Ethan, Ares and Clarissa, Aphodite and Selena, Hephaestus and Charles, Artemis and Zoe

first of all ty for giving me the chance to talk more about this au!! now, to the good part:

im considering luke as percy's mentor for the betrayal potential but im unsure. same with annabeth, could be a tribute for district eight (textiles) with athena as her mentor, just as cold and distant as she is in the series, or athena directing district 13 and have annabeth be there.

thalia, i think jaded past victor would suit her while jason would be the younger brother that is everyone's golden boy that they expect will become a victor himself - spoiler alert he does not want to take part in the games and thalia would die before she let him. they were raised separately, thalia with their mom who just didnt care about her, jason with juno and zeus. both in district five (power). jason possible future nico's bff?? who knows.

octavian absolutely has career mentality but he joins them himself he's not part of them initially, maybe district five (power), ethan i feel like tribute. no idea if for district nine (grain) or eleven (agriculture) or anything tbh, just that it needs to be those lower ones.

clarisse as a career for district two (masonry) mentored by ares would be perfect, if a bit obvious.

silena as the female tribute for district one (luxury), with aphrodite as a distant mother.

charles is district three (technology) and with the careers solely for silena i feel like. they eventually distance themselves from the group (or charles does anyway). i like hephaestus as a mentor.

zoe is a stroke of genius tbh. tribute for district seven (lumber) with artemis as her mentor. nothing to add to that.

also lets pretend i didn't forget victors' families are exempt from the games - it's only for victors, spouses and the kids had with them. none of these guys fit bc it might be a different world but the olympians will cheat.
