*Trigger Warning: Mention of su!cide, implied murder, and the foster system*
Nico has had nightmares all his life. Nightmares of his family getting hurt. Nightmares of himself getting hurt. Of people running away. Of people dying. But he was always able to tell people about them. He was always able to get comfort.
Until his life turned into an actual nightmare.
He tried to tell someone. He tried to get his uncle put in prison for what he did, but he can't, and now his mother is dead, and his sister killed herself, and his father killed himself, and he's being put into foster care in Gotham city of all places, and his only hope of not doing that is to live with his distant family, who he'd never heard of before now.
Traumatized, done with everything, and ready to run away, Nico joins the Waynes at the Manor.
His whole family is gone.
He isn't ready to deal with more.

Fire Meets Family
After going on a little trip to get some supplies for camp Leo winds up in Gotham. Just as Leo finds himself in some trouble, a couple of mysterious people come to his aid. The only problem is they think he is some street rat orphan. This leaves Leo trying to figure out what to do as he is now stuck at an orphanage. Meanwhile, back at camp, his friends are now panicking at his sudden disappearance. I'm not great at descriptions. Basically this is Leo x batfam, cause there is not enough of these. I love Nico x batfam fanfics, but I have always wondered what a Leo x batfam would be like, cause we never really get to dive into his trauma well. Also the three that there are on here are like 4 chapters long. I probably will have slow updates because I don't have a lot of free time, and I'm not that creative despite being an artist. Also, not my cover art! Yall, I can't believe I forgot to put a disclaimer till now. I do not own any characters from Percy Jackson, nor do I own DC. Thank you.

The Return of the Lost Wayne: Percy Jackson's Homecoming
Two months have passed since the second Giant war with Gaea and Percy finally thinks of returning home to Gotham since running away at the age of twelve. As the great prophecy can't no longer harm them nor could the second one, Percy decides to head home to Wayne Manor and finally break the news of him being not dead but hey he heard Jason had also come back from the dead. So perhaps it isn't so weird much but then again they are the bats so it probably won't make a difference. It's a fanfic I do not own any characters
I Want You No Matter What (Book 2) Completed
Life had taken a turn for the better ever since my troubled brother was incarcerated for life. However, one day, a sense of unease crept over me and my best friend as we noticed a mysterious figure tailing us through the bustling town. "Ally, who's that man?" my best friend inquired, her voice tinged with concern. I scanned the area nervously, my heart pounding. "We should get out of here," I urged, seizing her arm as we hastily made our way through the crowded streets. Abruptly, I awoke from a disquieting nightmare, my screams ricocheting through the silent house. "Mom, there's a man chasing me in my dreams," I gasped out, my hands trembling. She attempted to soothe me, attributing the tumultuous visions to my overactive imagination. On one occasion, I inadvertently overheard my mom and aunt engaged in a hushed conversation, puzzling over what impending revelation they were deliberating. Eventually, I mustered the courage to confront the enigmatic man who had been shadowing me. "Why have you been following me? Who are you?" I demanded, my voice quivering with trepidation. "I am Aleekie Smith," he disclosed, leaving me dumbfounded. "You're the man from my dream," I whispered, the pieces falling into place. The drama unfolded further as I crossed paths with a former boyfriend adamant on asserting control, his aggression escalating to a perilous climax when he brandished a firearm. Feeling ensnared, I made a pivotal decision to extricate myself from the tumult, severing ties with everyone in a dramatic departure. Amidst escalating tension and conflict, an unexpected source of solace materialized in the form of my father, ushering the narrative into an unforeseen trajectory. To uncover the compelling trajectory of events that ensued, I urge you to continue reading. This is merely the entrancing prologue of the gripping saga that awaits.

Together we prevail
"The other side Nico! We will see you there. Understand?" Nico's eyes widened. "But-" "Lead them there!" Percy shouted. "Promise me!" „I-, I will." Nico watched in horror how Percy promised Annabeth to always stay together, to never be apart again. Then, Percy let go and he and Annabeth fell down. All around, he could hear the others shouting and running to help. All too late, Percy and Annabeth were gone. Suddenly, Nico heard another sound. A strange crackling was increasingly more and more prominent, until it drowned the voices of the remaining five. Before he realized what was happening, the ground beneath his torso was crumbling away, larger and larger pieces were disappearing in the hungry darkness below. Nico did not have time to react. The next thing he knew, he was falling too. OR Three demigods fall into Tartarus after finding the statue of Athena Parthenos. For better or worse, it is not the first time for Nico.

Into the Shattered Night
Nico finally gets out of that weird hotel, only for everything to be different. There are a lot more lights, and everyone is staring at this tiny screen, and the weird lawyer lady is watching him now. His dad visits sometimes, but not enough. His sister is growing distant, which makes sense, she had her own life. It still hurt sometimes though. Then things start to change. He meets the Waynes, for one. Gotham is a big scary place, when he's allowed out into it, but they're nice. And their dad is funny. A lot funnier than his dad.(Don't tell Hades he said that. Ms. Alecto keeps saying he'd smite Nico. Nico didn't believe it, but still.) So yeah. Gotham is fine. His life is... nice. Even when the lights flicker because Bianca is yelling at him, then Ms. Alecto gets mad at her for not controlling her emotions. Even when he's allowed to go outside and he sees ghosts. He doesn't tell Ms. Alecto about that, he doesn't want her to get mad at him. Everything is fine. Then these weird people started coming around their house, and Ms. Alecto started telling them to stay out of the house. Where were they supposed to go? Bianca says the library. But Nico kinda wants to visit their neighbors next door. They seem nice. Not weird at all. Not like his family. *** *** *** *Trigger Warnings will be in the chapters, there's gonna be a lot, just be warned* Cover isn't mine, I don't own any PJO, HOO, or DC plot or characters
