Mortal au! Leico. Nico gets sent by his father to a group therapy camp for teens, only to discover his roommate is more than he bargained for. Love, confessions, and games, Nico, Leo, and the rest discover that they aren't alone and hey, everyone's got bruises. But can anyone really escape from their past?

Nico di Angelo, Prince of the Underworld, soon to be King is misunderstood. No one wants to be around him, with his bad attitude and burning glare people steer clear of the Dark Prince. But once a meeting is announced by all the Gods, a certain Prince of the Forges takes a liking to Nico. The two become inseparable as they share multiple tales of happiness and sorrow, along with a few untold secrets unknown to everyone, even their own fathers. But what happens when the Prince of Shadows develops this strange new feeling for Leo Valdez? Who will accept them? . . .Who will break them?

After that I only wore black. Black like the charred remains of everything I had once loved, black like the smoke billowing into the sky as my tears cut tracks through the black soot coating my face, and black like the little puppy that was squirming in my arms afterward, the only piece of my old life I had left. ~¤~ Four years ago, Nico's life was perfect. He had two loving parents, a caring older sister, and a beautiful house in Italy. Then a fire started in their house and everything Nico loved crumbled along with the walls and family photos. Now, Nico and his dad live in America with Nico's step mom and sister, but Hades is almost never home and Nico has hardly smiled since the fire. Maybe the boy who just moved in across the street can help him bring a stop to the relentless bullying Nico has been dealing with for two years, and maybe he can teach him to smile again in the process. - the playlist for this is linked in my bio -
