Nico is silently drowning, every day spiraling a little more. Every Nico has ever cared about left or is 6 feet under. His mom, Bianca, Jason, EVERYONE. He can't take it anymore, he just can't. But no one cares, no one wants to see the scars. That's what chases everyone away the broken parts. Life is survival mode. He's still haunted from tartarus, from the jar. It's not like anyone cares enough to talk to him about it though.
For Will, things don't seem much better. He's not okay, but he has to stay together. No one can see the pain that to Will is so obvious. The dead siblings. The nightmares of the wars over the years that he can't tell anyone about. He wasn't ready to be head counselor, but in just two battles, he lost his older brothers. But he never had time to grieve only to bury the pain so he could keep his siblings together. He's not fine, but he has to be, for his brother and sister. He needs to keep up the facade of the sunshiny healer.
Both Nico and Will are struggling, both of them need each other more than ever, both of them are being distanced by the walls of the very thing that make them need each other so much.

This is my first fanfiction so it's really shitty, sorry. Anyway the only warning I have for this is some strong language, but not a lot. I really hope you enjoy!

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. 💛🖤![Smile Like The Sun [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/221671900-256-k449471.jpg)

On Board {A Solangelo Pirate AU}
It's been years since Will Solace has seen his childhood best friend, Nico di Angelo--but that's to be expected since pirates kidnapped both Nico and his sister. Now, Will is just trying to pay off his medical school debt. Unfortunately for him, the pirate crew has decided to enact its first kidnapping in years--and they're looking for someone who could be their ship doctor. Nico di Angelo can officially say that he's committed a mutiny. Four years ago, he and his crew threw their boss into a small boat with no supplies and pushed him into oblivion. Since then, Nico was elected Captain, he made a strict no-kidnapping policy, and he spent most of his time worming himself out of Seduction Duty. What happens when Nico's crew decides not to abide by the most important ship rule: no kidnapping? And even worse...is the old ship captain really dead? Welcome to a story about adventure and bravery; about learning and teaching; about loving and taking. Welcome to the Argo II. Edited January 2024. Originally published on @Hole-y_Being's account due to complications with this account.Complete

Alone Again (Percico/Pernico AU)
[DISCLAIMER: I do not own the characters in this story. All rights to Rick Riordan, the brilliant mind behind all of this.] Percy had changed. He lost himself years ago. He was on his own now, and he wasn't sure anyone or anything could help him. But what if he was wrong? Nico knew he was alone. His father left, and his mother and sister were both dead and gone. He knew there could be someone to break him, but the real question: Who?Complete

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
