Nico And Hades - Tumblr Posts
In Thracian mythology, Otrera was daughter of Thracian prince - Itil (Itis in Greek versions) and the Thraco-greek god of East wind and sea storms - Eurus. There also myths that her father had a relationship (a.k.a. was lover) with Hades. Imagine Nico hears his father has relationship with the father of the woman who tried to kill his friends and sister.
Nico: Dad, I have something to tell you
Hades: Alright son, go ahead.
Nico: Dad, I’m gay.
Hades:
Nico: And I’m still exactly the same person I was before, nothing about me’s changed-
Hades: son-
Nico: Just because I like boys doesn’t make me any different from you-
Hades: son, we are greek
Nico: oh
Nico: oh thanks dad.
Nico: By the way I’m dating Will just thought you should know ok bye
Hades: You’re dating APOLLO’S BRAT NICOLO COME BACK HERE
Friendly reminder that hades told Nico that he wished that Bianca had lived and not him.

Why Zeus Forbids Interactions between Demigods and their Godly Parents Theory.
What if one of the reasons Zeus doesn't want his family to interact with their offspring is because he's afraid they'd all become powerful enough to overthrow him?
For instance, when the kids interact with their parents more they find that they have more demigod powers than they once thought they had. Percy gets progressively stronger as he and Poseidon work on their relationship. Same with Nico and Hades.
Ares also seems to recognize this and gifts his kids weapons and resources that give them more strength and tactical advantages. Even though he's not a great parent to Clarisse; he's heavily involved with his kids when it comes to war.
Athena uses this strategy too with her own kids but also reminds them of the drawbacks that can come with certain powers like with Annabeth's cap.
Demeter may not get involved with her kids because she doesn't want to risk getting too attached and she knows by being more connected to them they get very strong. Persephone was sometimes feared more than Hades in Greek worship and mythology.
It also helps the parents. The stronger the belief and connection in them; the more powerful the god gets. We see this with Poseidon in TLO and Apollo in TOA. Just some thoughts.
I don't understand how there are so many fics for the sea fam but you can scarcely find one for Hades and Nico. Hades who would let nothing happen to his wife, dog, or mother in law/sister. Hades who was the most level-headed in the myths. Hades who offered his nephew and his mother sanctuary from his own father the Titan lord the moment the king of the underworld found out he was rising again.
Hades deserves to be a good dad, and not just seen as a villain all over again
