PLEASE NOTE: THIS STORY CONTAINS MILD LANGUAGE, DEPRESSION, SMUT (LATER CHAPTERS), AND SELF HARM. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Ever since his sister's death, Nico Di Angelo has been nothing but unhappy. He has no friends, sits alone at lunch, and refuses to talk to anyone. He's depressed. He's lonely. He's insecure. His life changes when he meets the stubborn yet charming Will Solace. Will is optimistic, outgoing, and happy. Will is everything Nico's not. Will and Nico end up developing an unlikely friendship, that starts to blossom into something more. Meanwhile, his sister, Hazel, tries to help him get back on his feet. She introduces him to her quirky group of friends in hopes that he will make friends. At first, Nico is very reluctant. Hazel's friends are very different from him. And things don't improve when he starts to develop feelings for Percy Jackson, a handsome and charming boy that half the school idolizes. But, he soon warms up to this bunch and things improve. With a new set of friends and Will at his side, Nico feels unstoppable. But, just as Nico starts to think things are finally going to be okay, an unexpected tragedy occurs, and everyone is turned on their heads. DISCLAIMER: ALL CHARACTERS BELONG TO RICK RIORDAN

Nico Di Angelo's school is taking the whole junior year on a trip to Greece. Following the no gender mingling school policy, Nico groups with his best buds Percy Jackson and Jason Grace. All is well and good before Will Solace joins their bubble. Nico gets a strange, tingly, ticklish feeling in his stomach when he's around Will. It doesn't help when they have to pair off to explore the Parthenon and Percy and Jason take off, leaving Nico alone with Will. It also doesn't help when the two boys decide to share a bed at the hotels. And it MOST CERTAINLY doesn't help when Will has to help a very drunk Nico back to his room after another classmates party and he admits something he shouldn't've. ----------------------------- Highschool Solangelo AU (dd/mm/yyyy) started: 3/4/2024 finished: 26/6/2024

DISCLAIMER: ALL CHARACTERS BELONG TO RICK RIORDAN. Nico's the new boy in boarding school. Will takes an interest in him. (A/N: I have no clue what else to say)

Nico Di Angelo didn't exist. Okay, yeah, he did exist. But not really to anyone outside of his small friend group. And even then, he was a quiet kid. It was easy for him to almost disappear even when he was with friends. He kind of blended in with the shadows, with the background. Will Solace was pretty well known, however. He wasn't exactly a popular kid, per say, but he was one that everyone knew. Everyone had some sort of story about him, whether it was simply having a class with him, or having to witness him fall out of a tree.
