A character study on Will Solace's life. Also Solangelo babies and A LOT of Shakespeare references. Listened to All Too Well (10 minutes) (Taylor's Version) while writing this.
The first home Will Solace had ever known was the one he was born in. His mum tried to be the best version of herself. But she was a kid herself, only 19. But he was lucky. He grew up in a literal mansion that his grandparents owned. Acres and acres of land in which he ran every morning.
His grandfather didn’t really like him which was okay as he was his grandma’s favourite. Inez Solace would never turn her back on her 19-year-old daughter and her son. Well, she had blocked his mother out of her view as she wasn’t the perfect daughter she wished she had. For her, Will was her chance to make a decent heir to her inheritance. Naomi didn’t care. She just wanted a house for her son to grow up in. Even if that meant that she had to deal with her suffocating parents.
Will knew that he was different from an incredibly young age. He didn’t like doing things normal kids his age enjoyed or staying in one place. But he was willing to do everything to please his grandparents. In that way, he thought that he could make Naomi not go on tour again and stay with him. He needed her. There was also Will’s favourite topic of discussion. His father. The dreaded topic his entire family enjoyed avoiding more than anything. His mum only gave him vague answers. He was sure that his grandparents knew even less than him. He could see it in their eyes. But it was fine. It always was.
Be good for us.
Be kind for us.
Be obedient for us.
Be a good student for us.
Learn three languages for us.
Go to Medical School for us.
Make us proud.
Despite the few holes in his family relationships, everything was all right. He spent the first seven years of his life, laughing, running and getting treated like a prince. He had everything he ever wished for. His grandparents made sure of it.
But everything changed when he was seven. Naomi was afraid that someone or something, sooner or later would come after Will. She wanted to protect him with her life. Even if that meant sending him to a camp outside New York for children like him.
The second home he discovered was Cabin 7 and his rowdy older siblings. Especially Lee Fletcher. The outspoken Shakespeare-loving brother carved “The sun with one eye vieweth all the world” outside their cabin. His older brother who made sure to include him in everything. To let him know that even when everyone turns their back on him, there’s always Lee. When the sun shines there is always Lee.
The cold dinners on marble dining tables turned into bustling warm and sunny meals. With people who liked hanging out with him not because his grandparents forced them to be with him. Not because they wanted to get some of his glory. They loved Will like their family. He was their family.
But he watched his second home set ablaze in the span of two summers. He managed to lose everyone he had loved. He managed to be on his own, losing a part of his self. Not knowing how to feel about being on his own for the very first time in his life.
Will’s third home was the one he built from the ground up. The one that took most of his energy but ended up being the one who stayed with him for the rest of his life. Nico di Angelo never made it easy for him. And he wouldn’t want it to be. If he could go back in time, he wouldn’t change a single thing.
They were both in pain and in need of each other’s company. Will knew that dating Nico would take a lot of effort and energy from him. He knew that their timing was terrible. Nico had severe PTSD and acute clinical depression. And Will? Well, let's say he had problems of his own. Watching people dying in front of you leaves you with the trauma you can just shove under the carpet.
They weren't the couple every high school sitcom was talking about. They were dysfunctional but in their own unique way. They could talk to each other and ease their pain, even a little bit. He knew that sometimes Nico would try to shut him out or push him away to 'save' him from the monster he thought he was. But Will never budged. He loved him too much to let him go.
But gaining Nico’s trust and love made everything different for Will. He would sneak into his cabin right before curfew and stay with him the whole night. In the same bed that was too small to fit them both. Legs intertwined, his head on Nico’s shoulder and their fingers brushing. He wouldn’t change that feeling for the world. Late night talks, stargazing, sleepless nights enjoying each other’s company.
Will only fell in love once in his life. He didn’t need anyone else. He never thought that he would be in a meaningful relationship with anyone. He knew how awful families could be and he didn’t want to force anyone into a toxic situation. He hated being on the sidelines during family dinners. He hated the tension that only grew between his mother and grandmother. And he hated knowing how it felt not being able to talk to anyone in your family.
He also didn’t consider himself worthy of love. Being the ‘different’ one in his family was never easy. Especially when a person in your family doesn’t accept the people you love. Will never thought that his family would have a problem with his sexuality. Naomi didn’t even bat an eye before hugging him and his grandmother would never admit how much she hated it. She would just bite her tongue and move on. But his grandfather voiced his opinion on his ‘sins’ on several occasions. It didn’t matter to him. He loved Nico and nobody could change that. Or take it away from him. And his family knew that.
Go to Harvard for us.
Finish first in your class.
Do your residency in a top hospital.
Will kept doing things his family wanted. At least he was lucky enough that the path he wanted to make for himself was the one his grandparents wanted. But he hated being the golden child. He wished he could retaliate and do something completely different. But Nico knew that if he threw Medicine out of his life, he would lose a piece of himself. And his grandparents didn’t deserve the risk.
Will came home from his 30 hours shift. He hated being away from Nico for so long. He wanted to wake up next to him every morning and be with him all day. He loved his company and the way he felt around him. It was this numbing sensation of being next to the person you love. Like a complete bliss.
He unlocked the door to their apartment and entered inside. He left his shoes in the entrance and scanned the room. Books scattered around every surface of the living room, deem lighting, and everything in its place. He made his way to their room where he found his boyfriend reading a book. Will climbed in bed next to him and rested his head on his chest. Nico pretty much unbothered by his boyfriend’s presence resumes reading the book he was holding. “Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged cupid painted blind.”
“Romeo and Juliet?” Will asked not moving from his spot.
“A Midsummer Night’s Dream. You’re losing your touch, Solace.” Nico replied looking softly at his side.
“Maybe you should read Shakespeare more often then.” He suggested.
“Maybe I should.” He smirked in return. Nico closed the book and placed it on his nightstand. He turned to Will and kissed him. “I missed you. A lot.”
“I missed you too.”
“How much longer will it be like this?” He asked him.
“I finish residency next year.”
“I didn’t mean residency.” Nico clears his throat. “I meant you and me. Like this.”
“This is for life,” Will whispered.
“Good. Because you can’t get rid of me.” He declared smiling. He kissed Will once again, starved for his touch. I kiss thee with a most constant heart.
Home is not a place or a building. For Will home is the people he surrounds himself with. The people who loved him and took care of him. Home it’s the people you let in and the memories you never forget. The ones that become so familiar that are a part of yourself.
Will wouldn’t change his life. Despite the exhaustion and the pain. There is always the sun. The warmth and the catharsis.
“Who could refrain, That had a heart to love and in that heart, courage to make love known?”
Will heard Nico saying in a hushed voice. He had just managed to put their 6-month-old daughter and 3-year-old son to sleep for the night. He made his way across the hall. He tried to open the door as quietly as he could. Despite his best efforts, his 5-year-old turned to his side with her big blue eyes staring at him. Nico was sitting on the floor next to her bed with a book in hand.
“You’re reading Shakespeare?” He asked Bianca as he kneeled on the floor next to his husband. He also noticed Albus, Bianca’s beagle was under her bed as usual. The small dog ran to him, wanting his attention.
6 months after she was born, Will and Nico decided that they were sick of the traditional fairy tales. That lead them to read Bianca stories like The Iliad, Lord of the rings, Shakespeare and other Classics. Did they regret it? Never.
“No, I’m reading King Lear.” She replied like it was common sense. Like she was proud of outsmarting her dad. God, this was his home.
“Let me play the lion too: I will roar that I will do any man's heart good to hear me. I will roar that I will make the duke say 'Let him roar again, let him roar again.” Will said.
It was by far his favourite Shakespeare quote. The first time he heard it, Lee was delivering a dramatic monologue in their cabin. It was his first night as a claimed camper. With those lines, Lee wanted to make Will welcome to their family. That was what it was. A family motto. One that stayed with him for the rest of his life. He just remembered the memory all too well. Michael laughing next to him and whistling as Lee finished reciting holding a toothbrush. How it reminded him of innocence! Beckendorf, Silena, Castor, and Pollux overhearing them from outside. Everything was so fragile and glistening. Nothing could change the way he felt that day. Listening to that phrase for the first time. And everyone repeating it as soon as Lee was finished.
“That’s ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ right?” She turned to Nico.
“Yes, darling,” Nico said too proud for her. He turned to him. “I see you finally read your material.”
“Just caught up with it. Let’s not forget that I was the one who introduced you to Shakespeare.” He declared.
“Can you say it again? Please?” Bianca asked him.
“Let me play the lion too: I will roar that I will do any man's heart good to hear me. I will roar that I will make the duke say 'Let him roar again, let him roar again.’ Do you know what it means?”
“No.” She replied waiting for an answer.
“It’s an act of bravery. It’s the promise of a family. If you roar and make yourself loud, you’ll continue to grow. It’s the same with a family. When you call us, we’re a pack. Nobody gets left behind.” Will told her with Nico looking at his side. He tucked Bianca into her bed and kissed her on the forehead. “Now sleep, or there won’t be any more Shakespeare.”
“No!” She giggled. “I don’t want to sleep.”
Will and Nico got up. “I’ll sell your toys,” Nico warned her as he closed the lights. “Goodnight, princess.”
That was his home.

See, most people want a Will Solace appearance in the show for Solangelo content. We are not the same. Don't get me wrong, I love them. However, I want a Will Solace appearance to get a glimpse of his friendships w/ Annabeth & Clarisse & the other campers.

for all my nico calling will pretty boy in italian truthers: ragazzi/ragazzo literally means child. it doesn’t have quite the same connotations as ‘boy’ does in english. i would suggest, instead of anything with the word ragazzo in it, something closer to “bello” or even “bellino”; bello, which means handsome/beautiful and is often used as a pet name, and bellino, which literally means pretty and has the “-ino” suffix, which gives it kind of a cocky/playfully condescending context when used as a pet name?? which is true to the origins of pretty boy.
edit to add: there are lots of other similar pet names!! carino is a good one. tesoro is also used v regularly. if anyone else can think of some comment/reblog w them!!

Solangelo fic idea because I love them,
Soulmate au wherein once you're claimed the mark of your soulmate appears as a tattoo on your body, it might be the same place as your soulmate, it might be different. If your soulmate is a mortal then only a letter 'M' appears.
Everyone is so worked up because Will never showed his mark, some of them speculated his soulmate is a mortal, some of them argued that it could be unrequited love like his soulmate might be Annabeth but she found her soulmate so he's destined to be alone. No one knows for sure, except for his sister Kayla.
The helm of darkness? Geez who could it be? The only child of Hades out there is Nico di Angelo. Will is 100% sure that the boy despise his guts, also he heard from Kayla that the boy already has a crush, and he's not sure if the concept applies on roman demigods, but didn't Hazel have a soulmate already?
Will never shows his mark, he felt devastated especially that the son of Hades is quite distanced.
Nico tries to operate between his pitiful crush on Percy, Jason who's urging him to let go and find himself another person, and his own mark.
The little sun tattooed on the side of his torso.
Funny thing, everyone thinks his soulmate is a mortal.

Nico’s Bad Flirting
This is actually a canon thing.
He tries to kill(/help) Percy by tossing him in the River of Styx.
He tries to kill(/trust) Jason by giving him a cup of poison.
He failed at flirting with Will because he let Octavian die and didn’t threaten Will. (See how this made a successful relationship and not the other methods.)
BUT WHAT IF!
Bad flirting is actually a family thing.
Like Hazel brings Frank a pretty scrapbook of candid photos of him (he could never tell when Hazel would take the picture, in some pictures she shouldn’t even be in the state), leaves dead animals on Franks doorstep (onetime she hunted a bear to gift him bc he prefers transforming into bears), and she (legitimately) kidnaps him (with blindfolds, ropes, bags over heads, chloroform, etc.) to go on dates.
Hades… he kidnapped his wife. There’s nothing else to say about that relationship.
When their SO’s (or SA’s) get used to the passive creepiness of the Underworld Royals they start to find the creepiness really endearing.

If the blond boy has flowing Barbie hair, it’s Patrochilles fanart, if he’s having a tousled boy-band moment, its Hyapollo. I don’t care how it’s captioned.

First I didn’t get it, now I understand
An angsty conversation between Naomi and Will. Hope you enjoy and us always my prompt list is pinned and the ask box always open <3
“You resented me about it, didn’t you?” “No, I don’t think I’ve ever resented you about that.” “Will, we both know very well that that’s a lie.” “Okay, I might have despised you just a tiny bit over the fact that sometimes I wasn’t your top priority when I was 14 but I understood you at the end. You were 18 when I was born. You hadn’t lived your life. You wanted to have a career and do something with your life rather than live with your parents for the rest of your life. You knew that working 20 hour shifts in diners as a waitress wasn’t your way of living. And you managed to do something more than what was expected from you, which is something I admire.” “You were the most important part of my life. It’s my fault we ended up this way.” She took her son’s hand. “I failed you as a mother. I failed to give you a stable home environment and all the love you deserved.” “Mum, you did a great job with me. I never had anything to complain about. I turned out this way because of you.” “No, I have nothing to do with the way you turned out.That is all that mentor at camp. What was his name? I always forget it. Remind me-” “Chiron?” “Yes!” “No, you did a lot about me. I don’t have any hard feelings. And I don’t keep anything against you.” “But I know you deserved better. So much better. I have the greatest son in the whole world and somehow I managed to miss out your whole life. You got into Stanford and Harvard and I wasn’t there to support you.” “I couldn’t have actually gone there if you hadn’t paid the tuition.” “Oh please, you would have gone with or without my money. I was always doing the bare minimum.” “Mum, you’re here now.” “But is it enough?” She whispered. “More than enough. You haven’t missed out on anything. Just a couple things that aren’t as significant as what Is going to happen next. I know you’re here.” “I might have not been a great mother, but I’ll promise I’ll be the best grandma in the world for Bianca. I can promise you that.” “That’s good enough for me.”

Part One of GODLY ASCENT AU: Will Solace
Divine Karma (caused by some immortal trickster) has hit Olympus. The Gods have been stripped of their powers, much like Apollo already experienced, and sent to the mortal plane. Several have taken resident at Camp Half Blood. Several are too stubborn, leading to quests revolving around their location. But immortal power doesn't simply *dissapear* - it has to go somewhere.
The most powerful demigods became the natural fall back for segements of those powers. The eldest demigod children of each God were appointed segements of power. Nobody got the full set.
^ Will Solace recieved Apollo's powers of Healing and Light. As the eldest, he was able to take on two roles. His days are divided between managing the Sun Chariot, keeping up with his father's role in the New Olympus Council, and managing plague outbreaks.
The other Apollion powers went to Rachel Dare (currently lost in a coma from the power of the Oracle trying to fit into a mortal's body), Kayla Knowles (Archery), Austin Lake (Music and head of the Nine Muses), and several younger demigods who don't understand the situation.

Idea for bonding activity in the Apollo cabin: Nico teaching the kids Italian nursery rhymes (which he learnt from Chiara and an Italian grandma ghost). He’s singing. Austin is playing the guitar. Will and Kayla are dancing ridiculously. The kids are clapping. Apollo is making light effects. And they’re all laughing.

When Nico and Will announced their quest to the camp, their reaction wasn’t all that surprising: everybody had thought they’d gone mad. People didn’t just go to Tartarus and come back with all of themselves intact. In fact, most didn’t come back at all. So for them to willingly go there? Nobody took it well.
Despite that, the campers still bid them goodbye with encouragement and “good luck”’s. As per tradition, the Apollo cabin prepared a shroud for Will. Since Nico didn’t have any siblings at camp, they made one for him, too. As days go by, the campers all wait in silent anticipation and worry for the return of their head medic and the child of hades they’ve grown fond of.
It was on the two week mark when they returned. The campers had a capture the flag game that night, when suddenly, Nico slipped out of the shadows, drenched in blood. Will wasn’t faring any better. They were rushed to the infirmary, where they were taken care of.
The next morning, Nico disappeared into his cabin and didn’t come back. Will brushed everyone off with a reassuring smile, explaining that Nico needed some alone time after what happened at Tartarus. Nobody thought much about it– the son of hades had a lot of demons to deal with after all.
Whatever progress Nico did before their quest was ruined. He reverted back to his previous self, to the Nico who refused to stay with others, to the Nico who hid in his cabin. He barely talked to the few friends he made at camp, either. With every passing day, his eye bags got darker, and his skin more pale looking. Nowadays, he was either in his cabin or reluctantly talking to Dionysus.
It was clear to everyone that Will tried his best to help Nico. He reminded him to eat, to sleep, he was there when he had night terrors, he often urged him to the infirmary if he got a little bit sick. Although Nico wasn’t in the best place mentally, he still managed weak smiles and tight hugs to convey his gratitude to his boyfriend.
Everyone tried their best to make Nico feel comfortable at camp, and not to cross any boundaries. They made sure to pay attention to his mood and what not. So much so, they didn’t notice that Nico wasn’t the only one who changed.
One moment nobody knew, and the next, the entire camp was whispering about it. It started when Austin received a camera from his mother for his birthday. He urged his siblings to pose for a family photo together, under the sun. When the photo was printed, he stared at it with a smile, admiring their happy faces and their shining eyes. That is until he noticed Will.
Will, just like everyone else, was smiling. His grin was wide and almost split his face in half, his left dimple popping out. It would have looked endearing, if it wasn’t for the fact that his blue eyes were dull, devoid of light. If Austin were to cover the bottom half of his brother’s face, his eyes looked even more… unsettling.
During dinner, he noticed it too. His brother talked and laughed just as usual, however, his eyes looked dull and almost… dead. They didn’t hold any emotion whatsoever, as if his laughs and teases were only for show… was it?
Austin talked about it to Kayla. Then Kayla mentioned it to her buddies at the archery range.
Next thing they know, the entire camp would subtly glance at the head medic’s eyes, and their worries were confirmed once they saw the dark and lightless blue staring into the horizon, as if he simply wasn’t there.
