For years Nico di Angelo has endured the taunts of one Will Solace, the arrogant, imbecile stronzo that is the Vice Captain of the school's basketball team.
And for years, he has struggled with the unwanted attraction he has for him.
For years Will has made it his mission to tease Nico di Angelo, the stuck-up rule abiding nerd of the school, at every opportunity.
And for years, he has struggled with figuring out why.
Both are sure they have each other and themselves figured out, but appearances can be deceiving, feelings misinterpreted and we all must learn one should never judge a book by its cover.

[Setting Placed After BoO] Nico Di Angelo is a gloomy, aloof character always questioning his very will to live.

Summer Nights (Solangelo AU)
After a wild party on the last day of Junior year, Will Solace may have...accidentally...got way caught up in the alcohol. He may even had hooked up with someone who, in a million years, he would never hook up with. Especially when it risked revealing his sexuality he had been repressing for years. Although, he doesn't entirely remember it, and neither does Nico di Angelo-the annoying know-it-all who always seemed to be more focused on studying than partying. In fact, he didn't even want to go to the party, he was dragged to the place by his step-sister, and he's never been more annoyed by a jock than he has with Will. Plus, he's in love with the hopelessly beautiful Percy Jackson. The two would definitely prefer to go their separate ways-except for the fact that they both ended up at the same summer internship fighting for the same position. This was gonna be one hell of a summer.Complete
a trip to greece ── solangelo ✔️
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'Complete

How Icarus Fell From the Sun (a Solangelo fanfic)
Nico felt like Icarus. Fly too close to the sun, and your wings will melt. Fly too close to the sea, your wings will grow heavy. Nico had already flown too close to the sea. He had allowed his infatuation with Percy to rule his life, his decisions, for far to many years. His wings had grown heavy, and he'd drowned. Icarus had made a mistake. He strayed too far, entranced by the kindness of the light. The dark wouldn't be as welcoming, ushering you in with no hesitancy and crossed arms. That didn't work out so well for Icarus. So, Nico would allow this filter, this light, to cover him, shroud him in kindness, and possibility, and warmth. But he would not cross further. He would not succumb to the light only to fall forever into darkness. He would do what Icarus couldn't. Nico di Angelo would not fly too close to the sun.

The Parts We Hide
Nico di Angelo has learned to survive by disappearing. He wears his shadows like armor and keeps everyone, even Will, at a safe distance. No one knows about the late-night panic attacks, the silent scars he leaves hidden beneath long sleeves, the feeling that he's always one step away from being left behind again. Not even Will - the boy he trusts most. Will Solace is sunshine to the world, a healer, a leader, the rock everyone leans on. But no one sees the cracks. Not the guilt of the siblings he couldn't save. Not the pressure to be "fine" all the time. And definitely not the way he pushes himself past breaking just to feel worthy of the love he gives so freely. They're in love, yes - but they're also in pain. And the longer they keep their walls up, the more those walls start to crush them both. ⚠️ This story contains themes of depression, anxiety, isolation, self-loathing, emotional trauma, burnout, survivor's guilt, intrusive thoughts, self-harm, religious trauma, grief, and mentions of death. Please take care of yourself and read with caution. 💛🖤

Everyone Deserves to be Happy (Solangelo)
Percy finds out about Nico's crush earlier than planned. And it's on neither of their terms. Until Percy gives him some good advice. Advice Nico takes to heart. But a demigod's life is never easy, and with a new prophecy and a new quest even darker forces are looming over the horizon, threatening to destroy the sunshine that Nico and another half-blood we all thought was gone have finally found. Placed during very beginning of Blood of Olympus/ between House of Hades and Blood of Olympus at the beginning. Then it switches to the end of Blood of Olympus. This is a solangelo story line. If you have not read Blood of Olympus, or do not ship solangelo, then I kindly ask you to reconsider your life choices. And then go do those things. I tried to stay true to the characters, I really truly did. If you're reading and you think I did something wrong, please let me know (but. you know. kindly.). This is also still a first draft, so you know, it's not perfect. All rights go to Rick Riordan the troll who stoll (geddit?) my life. The first chapter is based on a some fanart (it was a cartoon) I read but the rest are my own ideas. Also, the original image on the cover is not something I drew (I wish). It's Viria's. And then the whole idea for that cover belongs to xNoMusicNoLifeComplete

100 reasons to love our lives
"You are the best", Will answered. "That's not possible. You are the best already." He pouted for a little time, thinking about a way to beat me in that conversation. "We are the best", he finally said. "Yes", I agreed. "We are." Going to college is very exciting, especially if you haven't been to a mortal school since almost ten years. At least, Nico di Angelo and William Andrew Solace have each other - a young gay couple since five years.
