    Summary

    And then there were his hands, entirely incongruous to the rest of him in all their elegance, spattered dark with grave dirt and thrumming with a darkness that even Will could see.

    He was a dead thing, made animate by circumstance and pressure, like a semi-precious stone. Here to fulfill his duty at the behest of some higher power that neither of them had the wherewithal to question. Here to dig and dig and dig, his hands deep in the rich earth that surrounded the depths where the dead slept.

    Will clasped his hand with Nico’s and he did not feel one made of flesh and blood. All that came back were bones.

    Will Solace returns to the holler to settle the estate of his dead mother only to find a tangled mess of curses he doesn’t believe in, a shadow-sick son of an undertaker, and the witch that stands between him and the end of it all.

    Summary

    Voicemail from SISTER (NICER ONE): Hey, Nico, It’s B. How's that new single treating you? I played it for the baby and he seemed to like it. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album when it's out! Really, I'm not just saying that... I’m not really sure how to tell you this but— I’m fine, I’m okay, the baby is okay, I promise, but you need to come home. It’s dad.

    I think… dad is dying.

    Nico di Angelo returns to New York City to bear witness to the final days of his ailing father. After years spent running away from bad memories and toward a career in music, he’s hoping this will hurt less than it has to so he can return to screening everyone’s calls. All that stands in his way is a painful family Christmas, a beautiful ex-lover, and the ghost of everything he left behind.

    Summary

    "What? You been like this for me all night? For shame, Karen. What would the Pilgrims think?”

    She grasped his hair in her fist and yanked. “I think the Pilgrims would have been right there with me. Wine and kittens? What did you do: get some psychic to show you the easiest way into my pants?”

    -

    Frank Castle is invited to dinner and the Defenders are less than happy it's Karen he's there for.

    Summary

    It’s mere months into Will Solace’s time on Professor C’s elite team of mutants when an immortal shit-talker with a bone to pick crashes his way into a pre-mission briefing. Nico di Angelo returns from chasing after a few loose ends for the so-called good of humanity (aka his cousin Percy) and is roped back into a life of do-gooding and heroics.

    But he won’t wear the outfit. That’s where he draws the line.

    Summary

    Nico di Angelo doesn't play the drums, not anymore. He certainly does not play the drums for sunny boys with sunnier smiles like Will Solace.

    It began, and it ended, one night in winter.

    Summary

    Nico di Angelo shouldn’t be alive.

    After a fire that claimed the life of his sister the previous winter, fingers point to him as the culprit. Use of destructive powers is forbidden outside the classroom and the student body is out for blood. He gives them what they want and slips into the shadows.

    Will Solace craves a power he can never have.

    He knows that Nico refused the patronage of his own father, the famously exclusive deputy head of the university. The son of a family with a tenuous link to their godly powers, Will brims with potential that will take all he has to reach. Nico doesn’t want to return. Will wants nothing more.

    As Nico searches for answers to his sister’s death, Will ensnares him in a net of university politics and magical hierarchy. He’ll be his ally in this den of vipers if Nico will secure him Hades’s patronage, pulling Nico deeper into a world he thought he had clawed his way out of.

    All the while, something whispers in Nico’s ear. Something that crackles like a flame.

    Or, Nico di Angelo tries to put out fires. Will Solace starts them.

    Summary

    “Think you can last?” Will asked as he gestured to the mechanical bull.

    Nico raised an eyebrow. “Depends. How long do I have to go?”

    “The usual eight seconds,” Will shrugged.

    Nico leaned over the bar teasingly. “And what do I get if I win?”

    Will ran his thumb across Nico’s lips. “My birthday. You can do anything you want to me.”

    Two bros, going on a camping trip in the woods, sharing the same saddle because they are gay.

    Summary

    “Try not to look so worried,” Percy said with an amiable snort as he lifted his beer to his lips.

    “I’m not.” Nico scowled. His words sounded paper-thin at best.

    “Yeah?” Percy raised an eyebrow, then looked back out at the bucking chute where Will was prepping for his event. “Your boyfriend is only doing the most dangerous sport known to man for shits and giggles. I bet the bull will give him a huge kiss when they're done. Make real nice to him."

    -

    Nico goes to see Will at a bull riding competition and the bull isn't the only thing getting ridden.

    Summary

    “Don’t knock it ‘till you try it. They’re apparently into dancing and hadn’t heard of this place. One’s even a bull rider.” Percy waggled his eyebrows suggestively. “Listen, all I’m saying is to keep an open mind. It’s been a while since—”

    “Stop.” Nico faced away from Percy, knuckles clenched white on the edge of the sink. “I don’t need you to set me up on dates. Focus on your own.”

    Nico works nights at his uncle's country music bar when who should walk in but a tall blonde looking for trouble.

    Summary

    “You will think me cruel, very selfish, but love is always selfish; the more ardent the more selfish. How jealous I am you cannot know. You must come with me, loving me, to death; or else hate me and still come with me, and hating me through death and after.” - Sheridan Le Fanu

    Summary

    New York City isn’t where Clint Barton thought he would find his footing. Following a few missions with the Avengers, he still feels himself walking on unsteady ground, the space between worlds. But he has a table that needs food on it and a mostly-empty apartment to finance. SHIELD is the one paying those bills more often than not.

    Percy Jackson comes back to the city; Saturn’s return, so to speak. He crashes on the uneven couch cushions of Rachel Elizabeth Dare, he sends stray calls to voicemail, he fields inquiries for him to return to camp. He tries not to think of the hole that was left behind.

    After being asked to look into a rash of killings that could be the work of a serial killer, Clint contacts an old friend for help and gets more than he bargained for.

    Or, Percy Jackson comes back to New York City. Clint Barton is there to break his fall.
