Imagine a city of perfection. No homeless, no work, no currency, no rulers, no need to do anything. Basically a utopia for almost everyone. Now imagine a place of torture just outside of those walls. Starvation. Cannabilism. This place is for the people who have ever killed. But some innocent people live there, too. This is a story of two men, one anxious for a way out of his dull life in a paradise, and another wanting to run to safety, and out of the place of danger, and these two men somehow meet in the middle. (I'm sorry I suck at descriptions. Almost everyone does.) CHARACTERS NOT MINE. THEY BELONG TO RICK RIORDAN. The cover belongs to me though. Mine. And also in this AU they are not demigods, they have mortal parents.

Nico has lived with that term all his life. Psychopath. He knew it was muttered behind his back when he walked through school. Thats how the world saw him. The boy who hears voices, the guy who talks to himself. Everyone defined him by his mental illness, and no one had ever bothered to know him. The word wasn't even accurate. Having schizophrenia was a pain sometimes, but it didn't mean Nico was crazy, even if the voices told him he was. The real ones, and the ones in his mind. The only person he could ever consider a friend would be his psychologist (aka his therapist), Jenny, who he had grown a strong connection with over the 4 years he had been going to see her. He didn't trust anyone else. Nico knew that no one would look past it all like she does. That is, until Will Solace enters the picture, the happy go lucky college student striving to be a therapist. What could go wrong? . This is a solangelo fan fiction and will have swearing, mental illnesses and there may be triggering moments that will have warnings. I will hopefully capture Nico's point of view accurately, and what he his going through, but I have never experienced schizophrenia so it may not be perfect. . Kinda going through editing? This story has mature themes including drinking, drugs, cursing and mentions of self harm, mentions of eating disorders, and panic attacks. #1 #schizophrenia may 31, 2021 #1 #diangelo November 28, 2021
