    Summary

    (n.) an obsession with words.
    --
    College, Nico thinks, is not at all what they tell you it will be like in high school. It is also, less surprisingly, not what the movies say and the ‘reality’ tv shows make it out to be. It is, in fact, something else entirely. It is an experience, and it is where he learns that he is not who he thought he was, nor is he all that displeased with who he's becoming. The journey there, though, is arduous and exhausting, but the destination just may be worth every hurdle.
    --
    Please heed the warnings and read the notes for definitions and further warnings. Stay safe, please, and don't chance your mental health if you think it may be compromised.

    Summary

    He sits up after a moment, but Nico doesn’t let go of his fingers, so he lifts the arm that’s awkward between them and sets it behind Nico, leaning back to rest on it. Nico just looks at the tapestry.

    Will brushes his thumb over the side of Nico’s hand gently. His skin is soft. Nico’s fingers tighten on Will’s. It kind of feels like neither of them wants to move. Will doesn’t mind.

    or; Will falls in love with the new kid.

    Summary

    Birthdays are childish anyway. And being sad about not having one was also childish.

    On the day, he had hoped they would remember. He didn’t need anything big, just a simple “Happy birthday!” in passing would suffice. He could not remember the last time someone wished him a happy birthday.

    or

    Leo watches all his friends celebrate their birthdays and alienates himself more after each and every one of them.

    Summary

    "The vocalist was so full of energy that it was impossible to look away. At least, that's the thought that went through the head of the blond boy wiping down tables at the back of the venue."

    Will Solace and Nico di Angelo are in rival bands, and they're set to compete against each other in three weeks. Nico tries to hate Will, but after the two of them are paired together to work on an English project, Will manages to break through his shell. As they start to develop feelings for each other, they have to navigate through high school drama, parties, coming out, fights, near-death experiences, and blackmail from a mysterious user on the school gossip website.

    AKA, the fic you'd get if Lemonade Mouth and Love, Simon had a baby.

    Summary

    After the battle with Gaea, Nico finally decides to give Camp Half-Blood one more shot. Every time before this, he's ended up running away, but for some reason this time feels different. And it certainly helps that there's a certain sunny blond boy that seems determined to make sure Nico stays.

    Will has noticed Nico pop in and out of camp over the years, and has always wanted to get to know him better. Now, it looks like he finally has his chance. And now that the war is over and peace is waiting just over the horizon for the first time in years, what better opportunity is there?

    Still, Will can't shake the feeling that something bad is about to happen. And Nico isn't as healed from his past as he'd like people to think.

    With the resurfacing of the Labyrinth and old enemies seeking vengeance, that fall at camp is anything but uneventful. And through it all, Nico and Will find themselves developing a much deeper bond with each other than they had ever expected. What will happen between the two of them, and how do they navigate the waters of their...acquaintanceship? Friendship? Or is it...something more?

    Takes place in between BoO and THO. Follows canon as closely as possible.

    Summary

    Even after deciding to stay at camp following the war with Gaea, Nico is unready or perhaps unwilling to open up—not to Will Solace, not to Jason, and definitely not to Camp Half-Blood as a whole. Especially not when he's busy keeping his identity under wraps, unconsciously damaging his cabin in response to nightmares, and discovering a new part of himself that seems to him like just another reason to feel alienated.

    “My name’s Will,” he started - so far so good - but then continued, “and I guess my favorite food to cook would be, um, frozen pizza.”

    Summary

    Will has just about a thousand things to deal with. With the six month anniversary of the battle coming up, along with a literal crowd of visiting Roman campers, Will is exhausted. This isn’t to mention the sudden unapproved expansion to his infirmary, or the handful of trouble he's in charge of, fondly nicknamed the Apollo cabin. All these facts translate to only one thing - he's a very busy man.

    With all these things in mind, he does not have time to consider why the forever empty Hades cabin seems to be bothering him nowadays.

    And he definitely does not have time to figure out why the air beside him suddenly feels so empty.

    And he absolutely, completely, totally does not have the time to even consider why the hell he’s having dreams (nightmares) that have him crying and screaming into the late hours of the night.

    He's a busy man, after all.

    Summary

    “About you? Oh sweatpea my family knows everything about you,” Will said with an exaggerated drawl, a twang which made Nico wince, and a suggestive wink which literally had Nico squawking.

    “Oh my gods do not talk like that,” Nico begged but Will could see the twitching of his lip.

    Will tells a story about himself, his family, and the events which would eventually bring him to be sitting on a bed next to Nico di Angelo. *COMPLETE*

    Summary

    Nico felt like Icarus. Fly too close to the sun, and your wings will melt. Fly too close to the sea, your wings will grow heavy.

    Nico had already flown too close to the sea. He had allowed his infatuation with Percy to rule his life, his decisions, for far to many years. His wings had grown heavy, and he’d drowned.

    Icarus had made a mistake. He strayed too far, entranced by the kindness of the light. The dark wouldn’t be as welcoming, ushering you in with no hesitancy and crossed arms. That didn’t work out so well for Icarus. So, Nico would allow this filter, this light, to cover him, shroud him in kindness, and possibility, and warmth. But he would not cross further. He would not succumb to the light only to fall forever into darkness. He would do what Icarus couldn’t. Nico di Angelo would not fly too close to the sun.

    “You’re a player, so let’s play a game. Let’s sweet talk. Let’s play fight. Let’s talk 24/7. Let’s tell each other good morning and goodnight every day. Let’s take walks together. Let’s give each other nicknames. Let’s hang out with each other’s friends. Let’s go on dates. Let’s talk on the phone all night long. Let’s hold each other. Let’s kiss and hug. And whoever falls in love first? Loses.”

    Summary

    They weren't always a 24-hour pie diner.
    There were few factors that had led to this present 24-hour fact, events that had been placed in motion and happened that were now long over, but the aftermath remained.
    And the aftermath made these three facts -
    Nico di Angelo now owns a 24\7 pie diner on the corner of Main and Keystone.
    Nico di Angelo has several loyal employees who help run said pie diner. And one unloyal. (Leo always swears he's going to defect and franchise a Denny's across the street which - disgusting)
    And the last -
    Will Solace is a midnight customer, and this might all be because of him.

    Summary

    Nico's fading away from the fingertips, the shadows swallowing him whole. Will's doing his best to slow this, and such prolonged contact means Nico has to be civil...and Will's friendly, and warm, and he does things to Nico's stomach.

    Meanwhile, the aftereffects of yet another war waged with kids as soldiers sweep over the camp, and Nico's not the only one trying to recover. After all, people died on both sides, and life as a demigod was never easy to begin with. Nico is, however, the only one struggling with not only guilt and waking up in the morning, but with the very dissolving of his hands and everything attached.
    ___
    Or, the world is not fair, Fate is a cruel mistress, and the balance of luck is skewed. The universe faces Nico, and Nico stares back with an exasperated expression, because he's already dealt with enough shit for a lifetime, thank you, and he'd really appreciate it if the universe packed its things and left him the hell alone. Maybe the universe could leave Will Solace by his side, though, because things suck a little less when a warm smile and clear blue eyes are all Nico can see, and he's not done counting all those freckles.
