Prince Will Solace is trapped by fists and knives behind the golden facade of the castle. Also behind those opulent gates, nekos-beings who can transform into cats-are oppressed and treated as mere servants. Among them is Nico di Angelo, a neko with a mysterious past but a strong talent for somehow managing to make the prince believe that perhaps everything is going to be okay. They spend their nights in the castle kitchens, becoming accustomed to each other's presence far more quickly than either would be willing to admit. That is, until things that a turn, and life very quickly becomes very /not/ okay. Nico and Will each pack their bags, not realizing that they're not the only ones fleeing tonight. A prince and a neko: two different worlds, perhaps, but a great love story nonetheless. - Used to be titled "Neko/Royalty AU." Currently under edits.

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.

Nico Di Angelo and Will Solace are true soulmates, pretty sure we all agree on that. Disclaimer: a lot of swearing constantly.

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: / /
