Eden Woods has spent his entire life searching for something. He spends his days working at a cafe in France, taking photos to pass the time, then going out on weekends, losing himself in the nights. Only, despite all the soul searching, he can never quite shake the feeling that he's missing something. Then, after a drunken, almost definitely accidental tattoo, Eden meets Avery. The one who did it. He's a tempest. Blustering and bold. Fiery and flirtatious. Avery Romano is a mystery in a bottle, and all Eden wants is to figure him out. Slowly, Eden starts to think that maybe Avery is exactly what he's been searching for. When Avery begins to frequent Eden's cafe, the two begin to forge a bond, and slowly but surely, their paths begin to grow together like intertwining vines climbing up the same wall. For a while, life goes on. Then obviously, things get complicated.

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: / /
