Will: Nico loves me, he would never cheat on me!
Eros disguised as Percy: that’s great! Nico knows what my blood tastes like. He’s swallowed it. He asked me for more.

underappreciated Nico detail that I like - he seems to be an angry crier! very frequently he's angry when he cries and he cries when he's extremely angry. very AuDHD of him. emotional regulation sucks my guy and he's just going through it.

Isn’t it poetic that Aphrodite’s OTP is Percabeth whereas Cupid’s just there rooting so hard for Nico, who is too much in love with Percy for a mere crush?
Idk it just feels like Cupid is this enthusiastic vengeful fangirl who’s so enamored by this one character (Nico) thus just decides to say fuck it to canon (aka Aphrodite) and proceeds to hyperfixate in everything said character stands for including his self-antagonized one-sided crush.
Cupid plays with Nico the same way I write multiple angsty fanfics about him. I like Nico as a character the same way Cupid has watched him since the days of his first time stepping foot into Croatia. Oh my god Cupid’s a fangirl

y'all i was just re-reading blood of olympus, and i came across the chapter where Nico loses his shit at Bryce Lawrence and "ghostifies" him (in Coach Hedge's words), and I found a little quote that interested me.
"Bryce chuckled, clearly enjoying himself. 'Oh Reyna. You've got his back? It's going to be so fun dragging you before a tribunal, forcing you to confess that you killed your father. I hope they'll execute you in the ancient way- sewn into a sack with a rabid dog, then thrown into a river. I've always wanted to see that. I can't wait until your little secret comes out.'
Until your little secret comes out.
Bryce flicked the point of his pilum across Reyna's face, leaving a line of blood.
And Nico's rage exploded." (Blood of Olympus, page 295)
What's so interesting to me is the wording. 'Until your little secret comes out'.
It's almost like a parallel to Cupid and Nico. Cupid mocking and taunting Nico, forcing him to reveal his darkest secret against his will. Taking pleasure in it. Just like Bryce Lawrence was doing.
I think that's what set Nico off. Not the fact that Reyna was in danger or that Bryce was just generally an asshole- those 6 words that sent him back to the Cupid scene. Of all the things that happened to him, that had to be one of the most traumatizing (speaking from experience, getting outed is NOT fun). Him lashing out and completely demolishing Bryce Lawrence was the trauma response.

"Oh, I wouldn't say Love always makes you happy. Sometimes it makes you incredibly sad. But at least you've faced it now. That's the only way to conquer me."

Fanfiction idea/headcanon about Nico di angelo
So we know about Nico's beaf with Eros/Cupit but in contrast to Percy who went out and battled Ares Nico takes a more suddle roud.
So what if he makes friends with Psyche.
They could meet. Psyche is the goddes of the soul and Nico is the ghost king who spends quit a bit of time with the souls of the dead in the underworld. I think Psyche would be scared of going to the underworld based on what happened the last time she went so Nico might be send to her as an escord and a friendlier face.
Just imagine Eros coming home to find Nico and Psyche chilling on the Sofa gossiping about Solangelo. Which would just add salt to the wound when you consider that Eros had beaf with Apollo and now his wife if making friends with Will and Nico.

House of Hades in an Alternate Universe: Leo visits Cupid and Nico visits Ogygia
ButInstead of Leo meeting a someone who essentially forced to have feelings for him, he’s forced to confront his crush on Jason... in front of Jason. (Who likes him back, of course, but he hasn’t realized it)
Oh, and of course Nico can’t just do nothing, BOOM, he’s sent to Ogygia. But... uhm... he’s kinda gay... And so is Calypso!
“Calypso isn’t gay” And how would you know? She hasn’t seen a woman in thousands of years. So yeah, aroace lesbain Calypso, and you can’t prove me wrong.
Anyways, Boom, Nico and Calypso queer friendship where he explains what being aroace means and what comphet is and also they bond over their experiences with Percy Jackson.
ANGST POTENTIAL (cause there always is): Nico finally making a queer friend, and realizing he has to leave her.
Calypso, discovering her sexuality, realizing she’ll probably never actually experience the perfect romantic fantasy that she’s been dreaming of.
Jason struggling with confusing feelings for Leo that are... gasp... stronger than the ones he has for his own girlfriend???

Nico and Percy's dynamic through the series is eternally funny to me, because it's just. like.
Percy's having a constant mental struggle between his fatal flaw of loyalty with a promise he made to Bianca to protect Nico, versus his Big 3 kid desire to maim other Big 3 kids / Poseidon descendant urge to totally maim Nico specifically. He hates Nico so so much. He thinks Nico's annoying and weird at best, and creepy/sketchy when he's older. The only positive thoughts Percy has towards Nico are "He's Bianca's brother and Bianca was my friend and I owe her/He's Hazel's brother and Hazel is my friend and would kill me if I was mean to him," "He's a powerful asset and useful ally (if questionable)," and "He's kinda pathetic and I feel maybe a little bad about it." Percy has multiple occasions throughout the series where he strongly considers - and on one occasionally actually goes through with - throttling Nico.
Meanwhile, Nico is following around Percy like a lost puppy. He explicitly can never bring himself to even dislike anything about Percy no matter how hard he tries. He has a whole bit in BoO where he's mentally going "UGH he's so stupid BUT IT'S ENDEARING HOW DARE HE." He's totally smitten. He's making deals with his dad for Percy. He's making convoluted plans to help Percy stand a chance against Kronos. During the entirety of BoTL it's like he's playing tsundere - "I'm helping NOT PERCY SPECIFICALLY with this quest! Me helping Percy would be SILLY because I DEFINITELY HATE HIM." Then he proceeds to show up to Percy's birthday party to basically ask him on a weird date and spend the entire next book scrambling around trying to help him or protect him or impress him. And Percy could not give less of a shit.
Just. That dynamic is so funny to me. Percy is the founder of the Nico Protection Club in that he's the one they're all protecting Nico from and meanwhile Nico is throwing himself at Percy to the point where the literal god of gay love calls him out on it.

A new voice speaks behind him, deep and resonating and though Leo's never heard it, it sends a shiver up his spine.
"For someone who prayed to me so often, I would have thought you'd be pleased to see me."
This makes Leo whip around, because he has never had a habit of praying to any one immortal, not even his father.
Standing behind him is a washed out version of Thanatos, as if all the color was leached from him, replaced with whites and reds, the most unnerving of which is in his eyes.
"Cupid," Leo says, understanding the comment now, and internally grimacing at the accuracy.
"The Greeks know me as Eros," the god says, with the barest incline of his head to show that Leo was correct.
"Okay, Error," Leo says, clenching his fist. “What do you want?"
The god approaches him, and Leo makes himself stay planted where he is, not looking away from those red eyes.
"You were always brave, young hero," the god says instead of answering the damn question. "But have you finally learned to stop hiding and running from what is difficult?"
He has the audacity to use the end of his bow to tilt Leo's chin up even higher, and it is nothing like when Calypso would encourage him to look at an amazing view, or when Nyssa would turn his attention to something they were working on in the forge, or even how Damien-
Leo jerks his head away but doesn't give Eros the satisfaction of seeing him close his eyes.
"Have you finally learned to look on the face of love?" Eros asked, unbothered by Leo's reaction.
"I've looked on scarier," Leo snaps, and that is the truth.
"And yet..." the god says, stepping to the side, beginning to circle him. "You want to run from me."
Rolling his eyes, Leo asks, "Can you get to the point?"
"You plan to run from me," Eros repeats. "Turn from love, because it has become difficult."
Leo just looks at him.
"Okay, I don't say this lightly," Leo says. "Because like, I've met and tried to have a conversation with the literal Narcissus, but, dude, you are so full of yourself.”

Here’s a sneak peek at that alternate ending I mentioned in the notes on chapter 3 of words frost once wrote

An Older Nico who comes back to the past after wreaking havoc in his original timeline tho.
The guy's nice. He helps them. He's powerful. He's soft for his younger self and he adores Hazel all the same.
But then they see his sword brimming with godly essences; his aura sometimes turns slightly red at the edges. He has a vial of fire - from Hephaestus' forge, Leo said - that he doused Clytius with. A pair of winged shoes enabled him to cut off Cupid's wings after Young Nico's forced to come out. When he brakes off Jason and Percy's fight, he can redirect Jason's bolts and Percy thinks the pearls that the older man uses to defend against his water are familiar. Maybe he saw it in Poseidon's palace.
They're just gifts, he said. But they don't look like it, especially when Annabeth finds a shatter of her mother's shield amongst the future Nico's possession.
It's only much, much later when they realize that those are the takings of his fight against their godly parents where - or when - the older Nico comes from.

Something I love is that when there are ranking videos for the coolest/most powerful/loveable characters, Nico di Angelo always makes the top five. Like everyone thinks he's amazing, which he is. He's my favorite character and I'm so glad people can agree
