Fics like Bad Circumstances and Best Attempts

Arms crossed and body unsettled, Nico asked, “Did we reach the end of feelings time?” Percy let out a puff of air. “Almost. I just need you to know… I had someone I looked up to, too, you know? He went on a quest, which was unheard of back then. He was an unreal fighter and made me feel welcome and safe more than anyone else had. He was my friend and he made camp feel like home. And at the end of the summer he tried to kill me and spent the next few years trying to do it again, over and over. Not to mention the whole raising Kronos thing.” Luke. Nico had heard whisperings about who the traitor demigod had been before he’d left camp, but the stories tended to focus on Annabeth’s relationship with him, Percy caught in the middle of some fucked up triangle. Nico hadn’t really thought about Percy’s relationship to Luke independent of Annabeth. “Why are you telling me this?” “Because a lot of times the people we look up to are fucked up,” Percy said, hands up. “They let us down.” -- Nico thinks he's too damaged to be the next Camp leader. To help his friend, Percy decides to stop hiding his own damage. The two finally hash out their feelings and bond via trauma dumping.
