It's been a year since Nico and Will's trip to Tartarus and people seem to be moving on with their lives. Annabeth and Percy are both studying at New Rome University, Hazel and Frank are becoming more comfortable in their roles as Praetors, Grover is leading Satyrs in re-planting some nature spaces, and Reyna and Thalia have been with the hunters for a while and haven't been seen by either camp in six months. Piper and Leo haven't made contact but from what Apollo told them it seems they are setting in their new lives. Everyone has moved past their demigod lives more or less. Everyone except, it seems, Nico and Will. After their expedition to Tartarus, Will began to get nightmares. He and Nico now share the roles of comforter and comforted and they help each other discover and control their new found gifts. All seemed well for them until Nico got a job in a city that made him leave Will for long periods of time. Although Nico comforts Will and they Iris message frequently, Will is afraid to be alone and is scared that Nico is going to move on before Will is ready to. Now, Annabeth and Percy decided to go to the concert of a new singer and when they realize who it is, everything becomes more complicated.

Nico di Angelo, is a busy man. Don't get him wrong, he loves his job, he's good at it. He loves to write, he loves to sell his songs and hear them come to life with so many talented musicians. And now he has ANGEL, he can release his own music without any of the nepotism allegations. Because the last thing his father would do is give him extra attention - but if he keeps winning awards, maybe he just might get his attention. That's what he used to tell himself, and then he won a literal Grammy and his father still didn't care. But by that point, Nico had worked himself up the DOA Records ladder first as a musician and then becoming an award winning artist and he loved it enough he could forget his father's opinion (or lack thereof). Nico wasn't blind. He could admit that Will Solace was easy on the eyes (read: super fucking hot) but they were both young artists competing for the same awards and Nico didn't have the luxury of supportive, knowledgeable parents to help him out. So sue him, if he doesn't love Will Solace who seems to be trying separate himself from everything Nico ever wanted.

The Second Giant War was gruesome. With only 3 of the 7 left alive, they demigods of prophecy left the camps. They were unable, or maybe just unwilling, to be in the places where their friends once walked. They chose to escape the world of demigods while they still could. They wanted to try for normal so that maybe, one day, they could forget any of it ever happened. They wanted peace and safety. Nico... well, Nico had other ways of coping. ------------- Nico had had a long life. 16 years old, plus however many had passed in that cured casino had left little joy in his life. He had lost his grandparents, his mother, Bianca, his friends, and then Hazel... he missed her more than he could bare. He only knew his sister for around a year before he had lost her, and not a single day had passed in the last two years that he hadn't thought of her. He couldn't go to either camp or the underworld without feeling like his chest would explode from the pain. He knew she was in a better place. Her and Frank were in Elysium with Jason, Piper, and the rest of the heroes that died in the wars. She was at peace. Maybe she had even managed meet his mother and they were watching him now... though he honestly hoped they weren't. They would be disgusted by what he had become. --------- Nico x Batfam (unrelated to my Demigods in Gotham series)

There are certain days that you know you will remember for the rest of your life-- the days where you made a decision that changed the trajectory of your life forever-- however Nico never thought that May 14, 2016 would be one of those days. To him, it had just been another day... and then Percy happened. "I think we should start a band," Percy said out of the blue. Nico shrugged. "Sure. I mean, what's the worst that could happen?" A Lot. They blew up. Their first album was No. 1 on Billboard's Catalog Albums chart for 15 consecutive weeks. Overnight, they became famous. They went from playing at CHB talent shows to filling out stadiums in the span of a few months. For 3 years they made music and toured... and then they didn't anymore. December 26, 2019, exactly 1,321 days after their band had been created, it was done. The media was in a frenzy, trying to figure out what happened, but no one ever said why. Everyone in the band moved on to their solo careers or joined a new band... except Nico. Nico just vanished. ------------- Mortal AU + Band AU

Nico had two goals when he moved to Gotham #1- help new demigods get to Camp #2- don't meet the Waynes He didn't have anything against the family, how could he when he was only told about them the day before he moved, but he had heard about the serial adoption of black haired kids. He already had a strained relationship with his father, he didn't need a second one. -------- As Nico sat in the park with the random boys he befriended, he finally felt normal. They didn't know who his father was; hell, they thought his father was dead. He was quite literally the most free he had been since Italy and even then, it was under Mussolini at the time so that was a bit of a stretch. The calm seemed universal throughout the group until Tim's phone rang. "Oh shit, it's Bruce." Immediately all of them were on alert scanning the surrounding area while Tim talked on the phone, panic in his eyes. "He was on the other side of the park for a walk between meetings and saw a picture of us walking in the park online," Tim said as soon as he hung up. "Wait wait wait" Nico said as Jason looked like he was preparing to literally throw him into the tree. "Bruce as in Bruce Wayne? You're the Wayne's?! And why are you acting like he's gonna shoot me on sight?" "He's gonna shoot adoption papers at you." Damian mumbled, once again begrudgingly reviving a high five from Tim and Dick. Jason just rolled his eyes as he made his hands a step for Nico to get in the tree. "Yes we're the Wayne's. How do you know of us, but not have a clue what we look like?" Nico climbed onto the lowest branch that was a good six feet off the ground. "I was technically homeless until a few months ago and just got a phone last month, sue me for never seeing a picture," he said in a whisper yell before continuing to scale the tree. -------- Daily updates at 12:15am EST
