This Story takes place after the war with Gaea, when Nico is 16. Tartarus gets bored with his domain and decides to mess stuff up in the over-world by sucking up Atlas's Essence and have the sky fall. With only the two camps and the underground places intact, Nico and Percy must figure out how to solve this problem. Meanwhile, Nico thought that he had gotten over the son of Poseidon. He had made a promise to himself to never be so stupid again to fall in love. But as Nico and Percy become closer, Nico finds that the complete opposite has happened: he's fallen deeper. And Nico finds its so deep that it may be enough, maybe even MORE than enough, to hold the weight of the sky. AUTHOR"S NOTE: PLEASE WATCH THE YOU TUBE VIDEO ITS AMAZING!

// When you're drowning, you need someone who can swim. Someone who'll pull you out. Dry you off. Fix you. Be the light in your darkness. But what if your light is gone with the tide? Can you keep going without it? Will you find happiness in someone else? Or will you drown? The decision is yours to make. Choose quickly. You're sinking. Can you make it to the other side? Set about a month after the war with Gaea. Nico hasn't confessed his feelings to Percy, nor has he gotten over them. Characters (esp. Nico) will be rather OOC. DISCLAIMER: guys. Seriously.

After a chance meeting during a drunken stupor at a party, 17 year old Percy Jackson's life had been changed forever. Whether it was a good change or not was debatable. When he and 16 year old dreamboat Nico di Angelo and up sucking faces during a party game, he knew he would never look at his girlfriend the same way again. Meanwhile, Nico was completely sober, and had been struggling since the beginning of the year to keep his feelings for Percy in check. Suddenly they find their fates (and tongues) intertwined as they deal with the stress of being queer and growing up in a heteronormative society. top places(?): #3 in percico

la douleur exquise; the exquisite pain of wanting someone that you know you can never have. It's the main feeling Nico di Angelo has felt his entire teenage life. As Percy and Annabeth continue their relationship, Nico might just crack under the pressure of dreaming and lusting after the clueless son of Poseidon. However, Percy's concern for Nico may just be the shimmer of hope he needs. all characters/original story rights to Rick Riordan.
