Labels. They're everywhere. Some labels are important. Like on medicine, food, and buildings. Those are the kinds we need to help function easily. But other labels... sometimes we just don't need them. We don't really need labels like biological, transgender, or genderqueer. Not for human beings, at least. All those labels do are bring people down. Society refuses to let a person be who they want. They refuse to see past the labels. I don't want anyone to look at my labels. I just need them to look at me. ||| ALL CHARACTERS BELONG TO RICK RIORDAN ||| ||| THIS IS A TRANS AU ||| ||| FLUFF WARNING, YO! |||

Nico is the new kid, the very weird new kid. Will is the school it boy, he's friends with half the school, he's the captain of the football team, and A+ student. Will takes is confused about this 'Nico' boy, he's dark and mean and...insanely hot. Nico wants nothing to do Will, but Will wants everything to do with Nico. Not my characters! All belong to Rick 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 🥇first place winner of Fireworks Award Ceremony of 'Best Take On Canon Character' for Nico 🥉third place winner of Fireworks Award Ceremony of 'Alternate Universe'

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