Will Solace is a tattoo shop owner Nico Di Angelo is a flower shop owner What would happen if their paths crossed?

Nico Di Angelo often removes himself from the world. Anything real is scary, anxiety inducing, or annoying. It all comes to a stop though, when he's forced to share an apartment with the bubbly Will Solace. Will spend his day singing upbeat songs, interjecting himself into social settings for pleasure. Their lives couldn't be more different. Will sings and performs on the stage of the bar Belladonna, owned by Reyna and Thalia, in med school to be a doctor, while Nico serves drinks and cleans tables at the same place, also in med school to become a forensic pathologist. But can the Fates, a shared apartment, a few songs, and a little bit of harassment twine these opposites' lives together indefinitely? Oh, it absolutely can. ✩ ☼ ✩ ☼ ✩ ☼ ALL CHARACTERS OWNED BY RICK RIORDAN THIS STORY WAS WRITTEN COMPLETELY BY ME THE COVER IMAGE ISN'T MINE (sadly) BUT I DID THE TEXT AND SHIT started: 29/9/2024 finished: / /

Sequel to "Crowns and Chains." Will has returned to the Aureole Kingdom, but peace is far from attainable. Can enemies be defeated and inner demons be conquered, even at a grievous cost? Let me know if I write anything incorrect or offensive about dissociation as I do not dissociate.

Will is prince of the Aureole kingdom, a place of light-benders that boasts the best of healers. Nico is an assassin who serves the Shade kingdom, a place of shadow-benders with the most skilled fighters. And when their paths cross, their lives will change forever. Let me know if I write anything incorrect or offensive about dissociation as I do not dissociate.

Everything was going fine in the rebellion until the prince showed up. Or, according to the leader at least. Prince William claimed to "know intel about the enemies" and "be able to fight" and "not have a crush on the injured soldier boy he found on the journey." Yeah, right, Will. You keep telling yourself that. Meanwhile, Nico--Soldier 1017--is only trying to survive the night. With nothing and no one to save him from his upcoming execution for failing to follow orders, Nico's future looks pretty bleak. A raid and a rebellion bring them together. Every day they fight their pasts and their futures, and every day they promise to each other that they will make it to the sun, to the stars, and to the sky. Edited January 2024.

It's been years since Will Solace has seen his childhood best friend, Nico di Angelo--but that's to be expected since pirates kidnapped both Nico and his sister. Now, Will is just trying to pay off his medical school debt. Unfortunately for him, the pirate crew has decided to enact its first kidnapping in years--and they're looking for someone who could be their ship doctor. Nico di Angelo can officially say that he's committed a mutiny. Four years ago, he and his crew threw their boss into a small boat with no supplies and pushed him into oblivion. Since then, Nico was elected Captain, he made a strict no-kidnapping policy, and he spent most of his time worming himself out of Seduction Duty. What happens when Nico's crew decides not to abide by the most important ship rule: no kidnapping? And even worse...is the old ship captain really dead? Welcome to a story about adventure and bravery; about learning and teaching; about loving and taking. Welcome to the Argo II. Edited January 2024.

"Where are we?" Nico asked. "You tell me." "Huh?" Then he remembered. Will...the game...the kiss. Did all of that really happen? "Absolutely," Will said as if reading his thoughts. His cheeks burned with embarrassment. "Don't tell me I shadow travelled you all the way to...Is this Italy?" Will sat beside him, awfully close which was kinda annoying, "Well, you should've told me that kissing triggers your shadow-travel business" His cheeks were red too. "How would I know that? I've never kissed anyone before." Will cocked his eyebrows "really? Then may I ask, how was your first kiss Nico DiAngelo?" Will stared at him like he actually expected an answer.

on a bustling street of new york city, there's a small coffee shop called the midnight café. that's where i, nico diangelo, work the night shift. the night does not love me or speak to me, she is quiet. she merely harbors me and the souls of those with nothing left, our only comfort being a cup of coffee on a rainy night. but him? the sun adores him. she leaves kisses on his nose and cheeks and covers him in freckles. she adorns him with a crown of gold. she loves him because his smile could turn nectar into honey and ice into water. she follows him wherever he goes, bringing light with her. the sun looks good on him.

Bad things happen. Actually, a lot of bad things happen. But it should help when you're pining for a boy you're sure you'll never get...right?

Nico has just touched down in Italy after publicly coming out to his father, and leaving his boyfriend, Will back in America. To make matters worse, the kids at his old school aren't exactly a step up from the old ones.
