Crown of Shadows
I couldn't find anymore Nico Di Angelo in Gotham stories, so here it is. also, all the side chapters are technically part of the main story, and take place between two main chapters. ⚔️🌙 Fic Summary: "Crown of Shadows" 🌙🦇 When Nico di Angelo, son of Hades and Ghost King of the Underworld, arrives in Gotham to investigate a wave of missing unclaimed demigods, he expects monsters-not the Batfamily. After a chaotic first encounter during a cyclops battle, Nico reluctantly allies with Bruce Wayne and his vigilante sons-Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian. As more demigods arrive in Gotham, including Will Solace, Stella Jackson, and others from Camp Half-Blood, the Batfam slowly learns Nico's secret... and starts accepting him as one of their own. But beneath Gotham lies an ancient secret: the Crown of the Dead Prince, a divine artifact that starts merging with Nico, awakening long-lost powers and memories of past Ghost Kings. A shadowy group called the Hollow Court, led by a resurrected Octavian, is trying to sever demigods' ties to Olympus using anti-magic ichor-tech. While facing drakons, cursed temples, divine trials, and reluctant Justice League scrutiny, Nico battles not just monsters-but fear of being loved. Meanwhile, romance blooms everywhere: In the climactic Battle of Mount Etna, the demigods and Batfam unite to defeat the Hollow Court, with Nico embracing both his Crown and his humanity. Afterwards, life slowly rebuilds-with chaotic breakfast scenes, underworld tea parties, and way too many rooftop proposals. The story ends with the Batfam and demigods living, loving, and occasionally stabbing each other with affection... because family, after all, is complicated. ---------------------- Solangelo Dick x Wally, Jason x Roy, Tim x Bernard all get moments of love, chaos, and Batfam-level interrogationComplete
The Son of Death in Gotham(A Nico Di Angelo Fan Fic)
Thanatos is annoyed with Nico, who made Hades mad at a jarring family dinner. He decides that Nico should have someone just as angry with him. Out of spite he takes the life of a camper Will was desperately trying to save. Will thought that something felt familiar about the death, but brushed it off to PTSD, he goes to Nico for comfort, it's always difficult to lose a patient. Then he talks to Nico and realizes what that familiar feeling is. Will is mad at Nico, Nico needs to get out of camp. He shadow travels to anywhere away from all his problems, and ends up in probably the most dangerous city in the US, Gotham. Oops. Now with his powers depleted, he has to try and find a way to survive in this city that reeks of death. After a few violent encounter with the locals, he finally gets some money and rents an apartment, expecting to be there for a while. Will he survive in this city of crime? Who was the mysteriously masked figure that was supposed to be dead? What is he supposed to do now? Sorry guys, this is my first fan Fic. Please comment if you see any inconsistencies or grammar mistakes:) I haven't watched like any DC and I'm only writing this because I read an AMAZHANG Fan Fic about this same crossover called Demigods in Gotham by @maddywasnothere2003 who is an amazing writer, you should read their books. I'll try to update 1-2 times a week, but if I don't I'll try and tell you, if you like the story please follow me for updates. Anyway, Trigger Warning, cursing, angst, self sabotaging thoughts, and basically everything depressing. This is Nico. Have a great time reading this, and please comment and vote the story. ***The cover art is not mine, props to the artist, and all the characters belong to Uncle Rick and DC Comics unless I choose to maybe put a OC in there I'll tell you, spoilers for Pjo Heros of Olympus***Complete
Finding the Light
*Pjo/Batfam crossover* Mortal Pjo AU This is the Sequal to Facing the Eclipse, reading will result in spoilers to that story if you haven't already read FtE :3 *** *** *** Jason had his opprotunity. He had the chance to be what he never got, the father that was always there, the father that would never let their son die at fifteen, feeling abandoned. And he failed. Now, almost five years later, dealing with that loss and learning from it, Jason has built himself a new life. He's happy, he'd at peace. Or so he thinks. So when his past comes to haunt him, every mistake he's made since his own death and resurrection hitting him right back in the face, will he continue to fight on, or will he give into his grief, guilt, and self-doubts, and let them bury him alive? *** *** *** I don't own most of these characters. This book will be mostly centered around Jason this time, as the last one was Nico centered.

The Dark Angel
Nico's life has turned upside down. Bianca left him for her friends, leaving Nico to run away heartbroken. He is found by none other than the villain, Harley Quinn, who takes him back to Joker. They adopt him, and he lived happily with his twisted family for five years. But when his past comes crawling back to haunt him, he goes on a roller coaster ride as he faces new challenges, meets new people, and makes new enemies.
The Dark Before the Dawn
(Solangelo Royal AU) For nearly a decade, the Kingdoms of Old Olyum have been trapped in a brutal, unending war. The soldiers of the Allied Kingdoms-led by the Kings Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades-fight side by side to save their people and their way of life, but even the mightiest of kingdoms cannot fight forever. When the fate of the kingdoms rests on the shoulders of one who has already carried far too much, the line between sacrifice and self-destruction becomes razor thin. ------- "So you're resolved to do nothing?" Will said, staring at him like he were a stranger. "You know what happens to these people and your grand resolve is silence?" "I am resolved to live long enough for Hazel to become Queen," Nico said, standing back up with a collection of journals in his arms, crossing to the desk. "I am resolved to end the war so that my father might step down and pass the crown to my sister. She will make changes that neither of us ever could. She will lead us into an age of peace where personal liberties might be afforded." "So it falls to her?" Will said, crossing his arms and looking at Nico with a new look: disappointment. "I never took you for a coward." Nico froze, his jaw tightening as he slowly turned around to look at William, rage flaring in his chest. His voice was deadly calm as he spoke, his words chilling the blonde to the bone. "I am far braver than you will ever be. You sit in your golden castle and judge my homeland, but what have you ever done that meant a single thing? You have no idea what it takes to wake up every morning and choose to survive. You cannot understand the things I have sacrificed to stand before you today. I have built wall after wall to keep air in my lungs-carving away parts of myself with each and every breath I take. You were born into a gilded cage, but I was forged from iron. It is not cowardice that makes me wait, it is strength that you could never imagine."
1. The Runaway Siblings
Bianca and Nico di Angelo have been running from the law for months, until they reach the most crime ridden city in America; Gotham. With the police focused on other crimes happening, they could finally live in peace. However, there is always an "until." Originally this was going to be a oneshot but I wanted to expand on the idea more. I hope you enjoy! If there is anything that I deem trigger worthy it will be in the tags or/and at the beginning of the chapter. The original is on AO3 under MythoNerd, yes that is me.

When Worlds Collide
Book 2 of the 'Demigod in Gotham' Series When Nico moved to Gotham, all he wanted was to do good. He never asked to be adopted by Bruce Wayne. He never asked for Slade to come after him. He never asked to die. And more than anything else, he never asked to be revived. ---------- "I excused what you did with Slade, but you cannot continue to break rules and put yourself at risk-" Nico laughed. "Excused? You excused it?" Nightwing approached the table, probably knowing where this was going. "Demo-" The demigod ignored his brother. "Slade wanted to sell my people as slaves. Not only did he deserve to die, but he needed to." Bruce stood up, his hands on the table. "Slade's death was not your call and I respected that-" "No, you were forced to accept it because you couldn't stop me. You wanted me to spare him, just like every single one of your sons have up until that point, but how did that work out? When did Slade ever face justice for all the things he had done after they spared him? He deserved to die for everything he had done!" "It is not our place-" "Then thank f*ck that it actually was my place to do what you never could!" Bruce clenched his jaw. They stared at each other for a long moment before Bruce finally said, "We fight for justice, not vengeance. If you allow yourself to sink down to that place, you may never come back. It will kill you if you keep on fighting to avenge things that have not even happened yet" Nico stared at his father, the rage that had been boiling underneath his skin every second since he had woken up back in November began to break through the surface. He took off his domino mask and tossed it onto the table, making sure that Bruce had to look at his eyes-- the ones that no longer resembled the fourteen year old that Bruce had once asked to join his family. "Good thing I already died then." --------- daily updates @ 12:15 am EST (starting April 8th )Complete
Nico di Angelo & Batfamily Crossover: Shadows and Found Family
Nico attempts a long-distance shadow-travel to visit Hazel, but his powers falter due to lingering exhaustion and the sheer emotional toll of the wars. Instead of Camp Jupiter, he lands in a dark, unfamiliar alleyway in a city unlike any he's known: Gotham. The sheer density of human despair and darkness in Gotham is overwhelming, almost physically painful for him. He encounters petty criminals or a low-level gang, instinctively using his powers to defend himself, but he's disoriented and vulnerable.Complete
