    Summary

    Three years after the Second Giant War, after a totally-accidental case of shadow travel gone wrong, Nico thinks he's about to die.

    But he doesn't.

    Instead, he finds himself on a mysterious island inhabited by a mysterious boy, whose eyes gleam like the sky above with the sense that maybe not everything is as hopeless as Nico once believed.

    Excellent slow burn (the relationship build-up and stumbles along the way are superb). There's a very tense plot arc that really ramps up emotion and is so well executed. Incredibly compelling characterization.

    Nico has a popsicle. Will gets horny. Percy is annoying. Apollo writes some terrible poems.

    Summary

    “When you look into my eyes,” Eros asked, “what do you see?”

    Nico looked, and the visions hit him all at once.

    One thousand different moments. Laughter, playful yelling, shouting, absolute chaos. The sound of sweet compliments and sultry whispers and bold declarations. The sight of that smile, Will’s smile, over and over, and then the feeling of his skin against Nico’s, the warmth of his breath, the touch of his fingers, the familiarity of it. The reassurance of his hand on Nico’s shoulder and the comfort of his hugs.

    There was more, too. A sense of pride and accomplishment, the sound of cheering, the flickering sight of graduation caps and polaroids and love notes and rings and birthday presents and brief pecks and clothes abandoned on the floor. It was beautiful, every bit of it. It made Nico want to cry with how badly he wanted to feel it.

    The visions faded, and Eros looked at Nico with a level of pity.

    “I am sorry,” he said.

    This is the 10-course banquet of solangelo fics. It's got everything, it is masterfully crafted, and it is presented with exquisite deliberation. It has layers, research and nuance the likes of which actual published books written by professional authors would envy. A unique experience that will alter your brain chemistry. It is also, and this is not stated lightly, an upgrade and improvement over the source material in every conceivable way.

    Summary

    "For a moment, Nico only saw his own reflection looking wearily back at him. Then, his eyelids grew heavy as something reverberated in the walls and the image shifted. Before him, blurry visions appeared.

    The moon, cycling through its phases. Bloodstained, white cloth. A bottle of pills. A figure in front of a mirror, its reflection distorted.

    Nico stared at it until his own vision blurred. The blood was concerning. But what did the moon have to do with it? Had Will been attacked by a werewolf? Was he turning into one? …no, that’s silly. Was he hurt in some other way? But Will wouldn’t hide an injury, would he?"

    Nico can't wrap his head around what happened when Will provoked Sherman Yang into a fight. Until Will finally talks, perhaps using more than words...

    Summary

    “If I could be anywhere in the world,” Nico murmurs, Will twitching as Nico’s lips tickle his sensitive skin, “free of constraints or titles or boundaries, I would be here.” He traces a finger down Will’s calf, and this time he makes a sound as he shudders, low and deep and blissful, eyes half-lidded. “Touching you. Holding you. Watching you, in awe of you.” He drags his lips up to the base of Will’s shin, kissing the smattering of freckles there, and follows their discordant pattern up the strong, lithe swell of his calf, across the raised scar on the side of his leg, lingering on the side of his knee. “Worshiping you, my beloved, in your beauty.”

    “Flatterer,” Will gasps. His hands slide themselves into Nico’s hair, as they so often do, tightening around the only locks, looping curls around his fingers like black iron rings. “You just want into my bed.”

    Nico grins against his skin. “I am in your bed already.”

    Summary

    When Will Solace was thirteen he survived his first battle. A year later at the age of fourteen he had lived through his first war.

    At some point, whether it was when he found himself crossing over Camp’s border, or when he lost his first patient, or maybe between being named both Head of the Infirmary and Head of the Apollo Cabin. Or hell, perhaps after all the (brief) rumors about the Apollo Cabin Head Counselor position being cursed started and people gave him that pitying look, Will Solace started to think he too would die young.

    Summary

    He toes the line, always, with every lingering touch in this shitty apartment, coaxes Nico to say it, to spit it up on the table, all this love they carry.

    Nico wants to hold his guts in his hands, his brain and his heart, hold it out in front of him, Is this what you want? He would scream. Take it, its yours. It's yours, leave me alone. This bloody, dripping mess is all I have. And it's all yours, even if you're not asking.

    Or - Snippets of Will and Nico's life in a Manhattan apartment as they try to gather enough credits to graduate highschool, while navigating the newfound chance for adulthood post-war.

    Or- or- Nico tries to pretend he's not in love with his best friend. This proves to become more difficult once they start spending almost every moment near each other.

    Nico loves Will. Will does not love Nico. That’s how the story goes. Nico has made his peace with that.
    So, they will stay best friends and when historians see their bones buried together, they will be right when they say they were roommates, never lovers. Nico has fallen for the sun itself, he could never expect it to love him in return.

    …Until it does.

    Summary

    After Nico’s impromptu soul searching in the Texas desert, once he was returned to his family, he was different. He spent long hours staring out the windows, locked in his study. Dreaming of cornflower blue eyes. So, fearing a nervous breakdown, his father sent him, along with Hazel, to California. By train this time.

    Pylos Springs, a resort and hotel in the Napa region, was supposed to be one of the best (and most expensive) places for people to come to gather themselves after a tragedy. They were only supposed to stay for three months.
