I apologize in advance for this shitstorm of a plot reply. I've got medicine in my brain and it's making me all hazy and weird. Wow. I should not have taken that when I had so much stuff I wanted to do. Haha.
ZIGGY MICHA'EL MORENO +
NICO MAL'AKHI MORENOYOU'RE WELCOME, BB. I LOVE DOING BROTHER PLOTS, OK. BROTHER PLOTS 4EVER. #BROPLOTYAY I’m making our owl thread right now, but I figured I should make it clear exactly which direction I want to do. Haha. The first idea! Yes! Ziggy should totally think that Nico has gone completely dark – I mean, how can one not think that, seeing what he is doing with himself, right? He 100% seems to have gone all dark and Death Eater-y and yeah. Hell, Ziggy probably even thinks Nico
is a Death Eater. Ah well. I guess it’s good cover for Nico’s believability with his clients/employers. Haha. Um. Yeah. So, Ziggy definitely probably doesn’t know that Nico is actually spying and we can do some weird, angsty, good bro plots where it’s all a stupid misunderstanding but they’re
brothersssss. But, yeah, I like that and that’s the direction I’ll go with the owl, ok. (Also, I know you said you’re very busy right now, so don’t worry if you can’t get replies to me or anything too quickly. We can go at a good pace. I’m pretty muddled up with work and classes, too, so we can take our time and stuff. Haha.)
SCORPIUS HYPERION MALFOY +
NICO MAL'AKHI MORENOScorpius! Always one of my favorite post-era characters (every time I see him *pinches his cheeks, although he probably wouldn’t like that, but hey *). Yeah, so, I’m thinking Nico might’ve been a Beater for the Slytherin team, so former teammates is definitely possible. But, with the age gap, they still might not’ve been too close (and, I mean, Nico is a little shit as we both know, so). Yeah, they could definitely be becoming closer lately with their respective decisions to “spy” so to speak and try and blend in with the Death Eater crowd – which, I imagine, is kind of taxing (morally, especially)? So, they can share that and maybe have talked about it before, idk. But, yes, I agree with this, I think they can have a stronger relationship post-Hogwarts.
HADRIAN FEROX GREYBACK +
NICO MAL'AKHI MORENOOkay. So. I have this headcanon of Nico, in that werewolves freak him the hell out. Like, give him the willies. And I don’t think he’s, like, anti-werewolf, but he might be kind of afraid of them? (I almost considered making his boggart werewolves, so. Idk. Haha.) So, it might be an odd acquaintanceship with Hadrian coming into the shop and (I’m assuming Nico would know who Hadrian was, y’know…
Greyback) Nico being really wary of Hadrian, but totally polite with him as a customer and such. At any other time, Nico would avoid the crap out of him. Yeah. But when he’s afraid, he becomes more of an asshole, so idk, it might hardly show that he’s unnerved. (Can werewolves smell fear? I know dogs can. Haha.) So. Yeah. Do with that what you will.
PRISCILLA NICOLE CARROW +
NICO MAL'AKHI MORENOThat relationship would be devastating – too much arrogance in one room would cause the world to implode, I swear. He’s pretty damn arrogant, too (although I think his arrogance is more aggressively hostility at times, but y’know). Um, anyway, this is kind of hilarious to me. Nico would probably flirt back, but also be very clear that he’s “working” and “being polite because he’s working” and just totally brush her off – but almost to the point of
not because he obviously wants to keep the store from losing customers. Haha. So. Yeah. “Eye candy”. That’s hilarious
but so true.
MILAGROS SANCHIA ORA +
NICO MAL'AKHI MORENOOkay. Remz. Milagros is cool, yo. With the memory charms and putting Order-related messages into her songs and stuff, that’s awesome. Just wanted you to know that
not that you probably don’t already know, yo, she’s yours, haha. Anyway, they should definitely run into each other at some point. It would be kind of fun if, like most people, Milagros kind of assumed Nico was a Death Eater, too – that seems to be the direction most will go if they’re not
actually in the Order. Haha. But, yeah, he’s probably kind of impressed by the little allusions to the Order in her songs, although I can’t imagine he’s much into her style of music, but y’know. Dirty pleasures and all that. Haha.
JAMES SIRIUS POTTER +
NICO MAL'AKHI MORENOJAAAAAAAAAMES. Sorry. Give me a moment. I really like him.
And his pb. Okay. Enough of that. I love the idea of them totally not getting along at Hogwarts – rival houses, close in age, rival Quidditch players (Nico was a beater, I’m thinkin’), and yeah, so many things that totally would make them dislike each other woah. Nico is a hostile little shit too – always has been – and James probably got on his nerves and they probably were kind of snide to each other in the hallways and made jokes about each other and crap? Something like that. Let’s think early books Malfoy and Potter, yeah. But then – childish scuffles aside – it would be awesome if they kind of got to a common ground when Nico joined the Order? Like, they have come to a respectful middle ground where maybe they’re still a little harsh toward each other sometimes (and maybe don’t 100% like each other), but have enough respect to listen to each other and not, y’know, hex the shit out of one another? Or something like that. Idk. I feel like it hasn’t gone full-friendship or anything, but they’re at a certain area where it’s okay and they can co-exist in the Order really well and it just works. I assume there may have been quite a bit of doubting of Nico’s loyalties in the beginning too, so idk where James would’ve sat on that but yeah. aHHH. ORDER MEMBAHS.
