Emerson used to believe in friendship, trust, and the idea that people saw him for who he truly was. But that all changed when a rumor spread-one that twisted his actions and reshaped how everyone saw him. His closest friend, Colin, was at the center of it, turning whispers into wildfire. No legal charges were ever made, but the damage was done. Emerson lost everything-his friends, his reputation, and, in some ways, even himself.
Now, three years later, he's different. Quieter. Colder. The past lingers in his mind like a shadow that never fades. But it's not just his own thoughts that haunt him. A voice-soft, insidious-has taken root, whispering to him in the quiet moments. It feeds on his anger, his uncertainty, gently pushing him toward something he isn't sure he wants to become.
As the world moves on without him, Emerson is left with a question that won't leave him alone: Was he wronged, or is there truth in the version of himself that everyone believes?

We Are One
Nico diAngelo didn't really have a problem with moving, he just continued his life how it was before. Writing, listening to music, sitting in the back of the classroom, making sure not to get too close to anyone, and maybe falling asleep in class. Also spending half of his energy keeping himself from falling apart. That is, until he met Will. Will was like medicine for his heart. When Will held his hand, it felt as if he could relax and let go of his troubles, but when he had to let go, that was something he wasn't ready for, causing to have meltdowns for the first time in a long time. Will had been living a rather boring life in his town, same faces, same friends, he wanted change. When the new boy was in some of his classes at the start of the new school year, Will couldn't help but be curious after seeing the same faces almost all of his life. He was drawn to him in some way he couldn't describe, and couldn't help falling for him as they spent more time together. This book has characters that are created by Rick Riordan, yet there are a few, like Nico's father which is a small character that I created. This book has come from my own imagination, and if it seems that parts of the plot are from another story, that is entirely coincidental.Complete

Psychopath [solangelo au]
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, 2021Complete
