#solangelo parent au

[hyperfocuscentre]

so following on from this post

more solangelo as parents!

Nico’s job would literally just be doing stuff for Hades. He doesn’t really get payed in the conventional way, but he has access to all Hades’ riches so they live a comfy life.

Will becomes a doctor. I don’t think he went to college or university, mostly because it didn’t appeal to him and the idea of learning something he’d been doing from a very young age felt belittling. Instead, he convinced Chiron to forge him some papers and with a bit of mist manipulation, he got straight into doctor training at a hospital or however that works (foundation program or something?).

They have twins, because I love twins. A girl named Bianca and a boy named Michael-Lee (shut up i think it rolls of the tongue).

ML (i’m not writing the whole name everytime) is trans so he wasn’t always called this, but he wanted a name that was important to his parents and he wanted them to name him so that’s what he ended up with. He loves it, he says it feels like a pop star stage name.

Nico definitely cooks the food, his signature dish is pasta. He makes it from scratch because he says the store packages are disgusting and processed junk.

Will is the one who kisses their injuries and tucks them into bed at night (although Nico obviously says goodnight and love you’s too).

I feel like they both deal with the nightmares but most of the time, it’s Will because Nico is harder to wake up. He sings them lullabies and has actually started to appreciate his voice a lot more because of this. However, Nico can be found sometimes cuddling one or both of the twins close, wiping their tears and even sometimes singing Italian lullabies that he vaguely remembers from his childhood.

I feel like Nico plays rough with them, things like violent pillow fights followed by lots of exhilarated screams and giggles. He’s never too rough though, and he’s never hurt them. He can easily tell when to stop and when it’s time to calm down and take a break.

Nico is the soft touch, he acts like he isn’t but he is. He’ll say snarky things and talk to the twins like they’re adults from a very young age (in a funny way, not a weird way lmao) but he can’t handle seeing them upset or crying. Both of them are very spoiled and any shopping trips with Nico end with them coming back, hands full of toy boxes and faces stretched into beaming smiles.

Will is the more tough parent, but honestly he’s a silly too. He may know how to discipline them when he has to, but he also jokes with them and geeks out over their favourite films and shows with them.

Apollo loves that they have twins, and often compares them to him and Artemis (mostly because Bianca has dark, auburn hair and ML is a blond).

I feel like they live in a white, picket fence area but none of their neighbors like them. They painted the white fence a soft yellow and have a giant pride flag wafting on the front. There’s exotic, brightly coloured plants everywhere and the only reason they live is prayers to Persephone and the fact the goddess herself sometimes visits.

Persephone has basically claimed those kids as her grankids, she loves coming over to play with them and loves that she can without breaking any stupid divine laws.

Hades acts unbothered but he’s been caught smiling softly at the twins or even simply at Nico and Will being disgustingly domestic. His Christmas gifts are always huge and the first thing the twins open.

They tried to take one of those professional family photos when the twins were toddlers; it didn’t go so well. Nico is blinking, Bianca is screaming, Will’s face is basically a blur and ML is growling at the camera but the glint in his eyes says he finds himself hilarious. The photo is hung up above the fireplace.

They join their names which means ML’s name is a mouthful. Michael-Lee Di Angelo-Solace. He probably has a middle name too, although i’m not sure what. Maybe Lester, for the jokes?

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.

#this has of course caused absolute chaos #especially with the children of the Big Three being left alone to manage their parents' power #as there are less of them #thoughts?? #will solace #nico di angelo #fanart #percy jackson #solangelo #annabeth chase #percabeth #trials of apollo #godly ascent au

[pjo-worshipper]

I could totally see Nico being the more chill parent while Will is a little more strict.

Nico is the one who lets the kids eat as much sweets as they want while Will doesn’t because he is scared for their health and well-being.

OMG, I was restarting Hades bc I just got it for my laptop bc I haven't been able to get Hades II yet (the world actually hates me). I get to write Achilles!Clarisse training Zag!Percy. This isn't my normal account I'd post this on, but this just came to me, so wtv

• Clarisse refuses to start training him with a weapon at first. She forces him to do punches and lunges for hours a day & will reassure him with positive affirmations with a dead straight face.

• "You're doing great, Perseus." 😐

• When they start actually fighting against each other (still without weapons), she SWEEPS the floor with him. After she's done beating his ass, she'll lean against her spear and explain where he messed up. Percy catches on and will work on his mistakes.

• She only let's him pick up the sword when he managed to catch her off guard and tie with her. "You litt-...Good job, Perseus. That was actually really clever."

• Clarisse is surprised by Percy's raw natural talent with a blade and starts to smile more as he smiles every time she genuinely praises him for his achievements.

• It's around this time, Clarisse notices just how shitty Percy is treated by his father (Hades) and she takes a vow to herself to do better so Percy has someone he can actually trust and rely on other than Nyx.

• When Percy expresses he wants to leave to find his mom, Clarisse supports him completely and knows she'll risk it all to help him because he has a chance to do better than she ever could.

#clarisse and percy bonding #thats her illegal child and no one is telling her otherwise #percy sees clarisse more as a parent than hades bc of their training #and other moments i havent added #chasms hades pjo au #formerly known as #solangelo hades orpheus and eurydice au #on my multi fandom account bc i was busy

C.J. buoyantsaturn’s 2022 year in review fic rec list

January

blanket octopus [988 words]

Will takes up an arts and crafts project after returning from Tartarus

February 

you're not the only one who thinks they're falling in love [8,481 words]

Nico kept his eyes on the script, skimming over each of the lines as though to make sure Will hadn’t skipped over anything important - he hadn’t; he was flawless, as always. “Uh, good, yeah! I feel like you hit all of the beats, and the, uh, the emotion was all there. Obviously, it’ll be better in real blocking instead of just a line read, but-- Um, Reyna? Any notes?” 

March

Should've Known That You've Been Dancing With a Wolf [4,040 words]

As the opening credits of some 80s horror movie played, Nico and Will got comfortable on Nico’s bed, pressed together from hip to shoulder as they shared a blanket and held a bowl of popcorn between their laps. 

April 

comparison is killing me slowly (i think i think too much) [2,643 words]

“Leo,” Nico hissed, and Will stepped back from the door a split second before Nico’s head snapped back to make sure Will hadn’t entered the room. “I thought we agreed that we wouldn’t celebrate our anniversary anymore - that’s not fair to Will.” 

May (aka the month where i ONLY wrote no love au so my options were limited)

through all the times we've tried, I could never be what you needed of me (but I wish I was) [4,310 words]

“Who am I supposed to have dinner with?” 

Lou shot him a withering gaze. “You can’t really be that stupid.” 

[from the series twenty four seven, i hate my love for you]

June 

i never noticed anything but you but you but you [5,845 words]

Before Nico and Will had left at the end of their week-long visit, Vernon had handed Nico a cattle rope in exchange for the promise that he would be "the best cattle roper those yankees have ever seen" by the time he returned. And Nico had been practicing. 

[from the series farm to table au]

July 

Three of Cups [15,793 words]

He knew that whoever had dropped off the coffee had also taken a seat across from him at the booth, though they hadn’t spoken a word - another mercy on his tired brain; they all knew how much any amount of social interaction drained him. It was only when the smell of coffee had woken him up enough that he could lift his head again and reach for the cup that the person across from him said a simple, “Good morning.” 

August 

I know what I should do, but I just can't walk away [45,188 words]

After the death of his husband, Nico tries to put his life back together with the help of his friends, his cat, and his TA for Biology 103.

September 

i wish whoever just sprayed perfume on this enclosed train a very die [3,187 words]

Will had never seen a masseuse that was as attractive as his hot as fuck chiropractor. 

October 

Safe (better keep that thought to yourself) [34,270 words]

Nico figured he was probably overprepared, but it was better to be safe than sorry, especially when leaving his child with some guy he barely knew and a kid he’d never met. 

God, he hoped Will wasn’t some kind of psychopath. 

November 

Nobody wants to be alone (but that is not why I want you) [4,049 words]

“Oh my god,” Will said, “babe, you can’t live like that!” 

Nico flipped his camera back, smiling brightly at Will as he replied, “Then it’s a good thing I don’t live here anymore, huh?”

December 

#OnBrand [1,289 words]

Something told him that he hadn’t just seen that conversation because he was missing Percy - and, seriously, he thought he was done dreaming about Percy when he started crushing on Will - and that same gut feeling had him thinking that he was running out of time.

[burninbriight]

after reading the sun and the star my semi-dormant pjo obsession has risen and is infesting my brain side by side with bsd. so.

bsd percy jackson au: a series of self indulgent hcs

skk is the percabeth of the situation. iconic duo. unstoppable. EVERYBODY has heard about them. literal legends among the demigods baby

dazai is a child of athena, chuuya a child of ares

dazai's team beat chuuya's during capture the flag once and chuuya went aight bet. and kicked dazai's ass during the next capture the flag. his team still lost but at least he got an excuse to fight that annoying know-it-all bandaged and beautiful son of athena

the rest is history

the akutagawa sibilings are children of hades. goth mfs

now imagine them having the same storyline as the di angelo sibilings... now in this au you can see why akutagawa talks like he belongs to another age

gin would consider joining the hunters of artemis, but in the end they end up refusing to not leave their brother alone. plus, being immortal would mean seeing him and all of their loved ones die, and gin has had enough of her loved ones dying

if skk is percabeth, shinskk is solangelo

does atsushi fit the standards for a child of apollo? idk but i can't think of another godly parent for him so be it!

unlike will solace, healing is not atsushi's strongest task but he still spends a lot of time helping in the infirmary

and that's where he meets ryūnosuke

unlike solangelo the initial hostility is NOT one sided. ryū behaves like a bitch? atsushi gets bitchy right back.

cue to atsushi looking extremely pissed while bandaging ryū's arm and them muttering insults at each other

ryūnosuke swears he hates that fucking failed doctor and atsushi would almost believe him if it wasn't for the amount of times ryūnosuke has tried sacrificing himself to save him during their quests

also in this au rashomon is a hellhound like mrs. o'learly. she's a sweet doggo that devours space and souls

or she's one of ryū's cocoa puffs? (does this count as a tsats spoiler taken out of context?)

you know that one scene in tsats where nico kisses the back of will's neck and says "i'm proud of you"? now picture that as atsushi to ryūnosuke. yeah.

also atsushi has plague powers bc i say so

yosano is the real will here: overworked healers who feel extremely guilty for every patient that died under their watch to the point of considering themselves murderers

she runs that infirmary like it's the navy

she's also a hell of a fighter, both with bows and arrows and with her own fists

bff with ranpo, who's the oracle!

they gossip abt apollo (boyfail) and complain abt their respective fundamental but hella hard roles at chb

also besties w/ chuuya

also hear me out on kousano in this au... yosano falls helplessly in love with hunter of artemis!kouyou. kouyou tries to convince herself that she's not falling for that bossy and selfless and brave doctor because she has an oath to keep and she couldn't let love knock at her door again. so everytime the hunters come to chb kouyou keeps yosano company and it's all longing looks and painful yearning. yosano wishes she could convince the redhead to break the oath and stay.

but she won't. i <3 kousano angst

moving onto happier lesbians. gin loves wandering by themselves in the forest or by the lake. people know them as the demigod who just fucks off to take a stroll in the woods and disappear there for an indefinite amount of time

and that's how she meets an awkward, stubborn but lovely dryad: you guessed it, it's higuchi!

gin was having a bad day and kicked a tree because they were just so angry— anger turned to guilt when the tree fucking yelped

gin immediately apologized and higuchi asked them what was bothering them. gin never loved to talk, so they were very surprised by themselves when they started rambling about their problems to a dryad they just accidentally hurt

from that day gin began spending even more time in the forest

sometimes they bring higuchi to camp

it isn't unusual for dryads to wander around camp, but higuchi usually kept on her own before meeting gin

higuchi helps gin to open up about their emotions and lower their walls, gin helps higuchi to make friends and to value and love herself

chuuya's fatal flaw is loyalty, dazai's is pride, ryūnosuke's is holding grudges, atushi's is holding too tight onto the past, gin's is also loyalty, yosano's is guilt

tachihara is a child of hermes. parallels between two regretful traitors el oh el

except that luke fucking sucks while tachihara has my heart

OKAY NOW OPEN YOUR EARS. STORMBRINGER ENJOYERS RISE. RIMLAINE AS SILENA AND CLARISSE..... CAN YOU SEE WHAT IS SEE........

lucy is deffff a child of aphrodite but she's so lovely she doesn't even need to use charmspeak to get what she wants. whatever you say beloved princess

idk why but i can picture her throwing an hairbrush at an ancient titant like rachel... her and rachel are acc pretty similiar imo but i will not elaborate

poe is an athena kid! the biggest loser in cabin 6!

lucy and yosano tease him on his crush on ranpo

ranpo is there like damn. is this guy gonna confess or do i have to tell him we are going to date via prophecy

poe is a surprisingly good archer, the apollo kids are almost jealous

nikolai is an hecate kid. a little trickster. a silly magician. he will steal your nose but like in the literal sense and he might not give it back

his best friend is sigma from the aphrodite cabin. sigma cannot fucking stand him

nikolai is actually the reason why sigma has split colored hair. it used to be fully white but one day nikolai went heyyy girlie look at this new hair trick my sibiling taught me :] and sigma ended up actually loving the look? so they kept it

the dryads love sigma and he spends a lot of time with them. they braid flowers in each other's hair and chill

nikolai on the other hand somehow befriended the arpies

fyodor is a child of nemesis. edgelord

jouno is a child of hermes, the eldest in the cabin

half of the camp wants him, the other half wants him gone

teruko is a child of hebe, the goddess of youth!!!!

she's ones of the oldest campers along with jouno, but she prefers to keep her child form for unknown reasons

also i can see her joining the hunters tbh

that's it for now folks i hope someone appreciates my brainrot xoxo

[iliketoreadstuf]

my works

all of my fics in one place for you <3

WIPs:

linger on your pale blue eyes: Nico di Angelo and Will Solace haven't spoken in years. The once best friends are only distant strangers after Will moved to Texas as a kid. Now, years later, Will has returned to work at the same amusement park as Nico.

Will they rekindle their friendship... or maybe something more? (solangelo, multi-chap)

because i liked a boy: James Potter is a well-known celebrity riding the high of his acting career. After breaking up with his longtime girlfriend and past co-star, Lily Evans, he enters a relationship with Regulus Black.

Chaos ensues. (jegulus, multi-chap)

sing your heart out: In a last-ditch effort to escape his parent's control before settling down at their finance firm, Regulus takes a leap of faith and auditions for The Voice, which will be coached by the four members of the Marauders. (jegulus, marylily, rosekiller, multi-chap)

boys don't cry: It all starts with a girl who doesn't know her name, a childhood board game, and the disappearance of Regulus Black.

or, the marauders if they existed in Stranger Things (jegulus, wolfstar, nobleflower + others, multi-chap)

every summer after (on hiatus): Regulus Black has never had friends, all except for his childhood best friend that moved away years ago. What will happen when said best friend turns back up as his roommate at summer camp?

or, a Bartylus childhood friends to lovers story told through each summer at camp and the letter correspondence between reg and barty during the rest of the year. (bartylus multi-chap)

stereotypical (on hiatus): Remus is a basketball player, Sirius is in Marching Band. Alternately, James is a basketball player, Regulus is a theater nerd. Chaos ensues. (jegulus, wolfstar, multi-chap)

Finished Fics:

and i'll never go home again (place the call, feel it start): Camp Half Blood holds a volleyball tournament every summer. This the first time Nico di Angelo has ever had a chance to participate, and on Will Solace's team nonetheless. (solangelo, multi-chap)

close proximity: Marauders x Holiday Season x Office Romance. Fluff. Mutual pining. Falling in love. Happy endings only. Enjoy. (jegulus, wolfstar + others, multi-chap) written with @prongsisthesun

anything can happen: after getting out of tumultuous relationships, both regulus and remus are desperate for a break. deciding to go on a vacation and switch homes for christmas, both of them find out the true meaning of love and what it takes to keep it.

or, a marauders AU set in "The Holiday" (jegulus, wolfstar, multi-chap)

second chances: when Regulus is hit with a rogue spell that sends him back to a 6-year-old, Sirius is forced to face their adversities and grow past their animosity. (jegulus multi-chap)

touch starved: Regulus can't sleep; James can't sleep. They fix this by cuddling. (jegulus one shot)

it's worse to be nothing with you: After his ex left him with no warning, Regulus has to find some semblance of normal. That is, until his ex returns 8 months later on his doorstep. (bartylus one shot)

harry vs. the homo sapiens agenda: Harry Potter has a lovely life: loving family, amazing friends. But he has a secret. No one knows that he's gay. Well, no one but his anonymous pen pal "Dragon". What will happen when his emails are found by the wrong person? (drarry multi-chap)

a real cowboy: Harry dresses up as a cowboy for a Halloween party at the Gryffindor frat house. Draco finds him. (drarry one shot)

i feel more free than i have in years: Narcissa Black has been brought up to be the perfect ballerina, but her long-time crush on Alice Fortescue seems to always take precedent over everything. (nobleflower one shot)

to me, you are perfect: What if the Marauders existed in Love, Actually? (jegulus, wolfstar, dorlene + others multi-chap)

sweeter than revenge: In the aftermath of The Prank, Remus finds himself desperate to get revenge on Sirius. And what better way than fake dating his brother and two best friends? (jegulus, wolfstar multi-chap)

sometimes it's easier to be invisible: Regulus Black hates James Potter. He's loud, egotistic, and replaced Regulus at a time he needed Sirius the most. But when Regulus gets kicked out of his home and forced to live with him, will their spark grow or die? (jegulus-centric, multi-chap)

Blinding Lights Universe:

blinding lights: Regulus is the highest-paid actor of his generation, and when his brother's band agrees to write a song for his film, the brothers are forced to speak to each other again after seven years. (jegulus, marylily, rosekiller, multi-chap)

lifeline: Years before they ever dated, James sent Regulus post cards in hopes of getting a reply. He finally does. (jegulus one shot)

keep his name out of your mouth: What happens when someone publicly drags Regulus's husband on live tv? They get socked in the face. (jegulus one shot)

[correctproseka]

Not sure if i made this post before but these days half my brain is reserved for Proseka and the other half for Percy Jackson so here we go:

The characters and who would be their godly parents at camp half blood, updated weekly along the episodes, here's Leo/Need.

----

Ichika: she would be greek, daughter of Thanatos, the god of death (not like Hades, Thanatos actively is the god that takes people out of the world of living). She uses an emo sword like Nico's. I feel like she can sense when people she cares about are close to dying.

Saki: also greek, daughter of Apollo, god of the sun, health, archery, music, art, disease, and many others. She would probably use a dagger to fight. Her powers include: healing (of others, not herself), and barely light manipulation. She got the low side of being an Apollo child, cursed with bad health for a while.

Yes Ichika is a Thanatos child to contrast with Saki, they are solangelo to me ok

Honami: roman demigod, child of Ceres (goddess of plants and agriculture. Fighting with a bow, though, like all roman demigods, she knows how to use a sword. Her powers include being good with plants tbh, she can make them grow faster and fruits tastier.

Shiho: another roman demigod, Pluto, he's the god of the underworld, and more on the roman side, wealth and gems (in roman logic, these are found underground so its on his domain). Shiho has a sword (like her valentine's card) and can control the shadows/shadow travel, make gems appear and she never runs out of cash, for some reason she will always find it when needed.

----

They were childhood friends, but the childhood of a demigod slowly broke them apart. Shiho was the first to disappear (which also made Shizuku depressed, will explain it on the mmj update) after a monster attack (due to being a Big Three child) going to the camp jupiter at around 6 years old.

Honami went the next year, when she got called on a dream.

Saki was next, because she was extremely sick and would die without the medicine and powers of an Apollo kid at camp (she's immune to the heals of other Apollo kids, also part of her curse), around 9/10, her mom/the Tenmas did know about it all already because Apollo felt bad at what Saki inherited.

Ichika was the last one, after a monster attack she lived on the streets for a while at 12yo, before finding camp half blood with the help of a satyr.

They only re-encountered when they were 15/16, and both camps found out about the other.

----

... Yes I have a whole Au done what about it.

JEGULUS VARIANTS!!!!!

In honour of Valentine's day (yes ik I'm late), variants of my current obsession

Solangelo - Listen, you cannot tell me that Nico Di Angelo is not a variant of Regulus fucking Black. The abandoned younger sibling duo, never being enough for their parents, like c'mon. Also Will is literally James Fleamont Potter in another universe. They are both the sun personified and feel like they can never help enough for the people they love.

Kanej - Regulus as Kaz??? HELLO? And how James was the only one who could get underneath the mask he put on?? INEJ (a.k.a, my queen)

Gwen Stacy x Spiderman - Tbh this could go either way, but SPIDERMAN AU'S ARE NEEDED

Achilles x Patroclus - Choices pretty much sums up why this variant works, two tragic fools in love, has a happy ending right???

SOMEONE'S PROBABLY ALREADY DONE THIS BEFORE BUT SANDERS SIDES RIORDANVERSE AU

Virgil - Child of Hades! believes himself to be the villain as a result and takes a while to get used to the negative comments, fully buys into the emo aesthetic and hangs out with Janus and Remus but after Patton incorporates him into the friend group he eventually lets out his softer side a bit <3

Patton - Child of Athena! Because. Spiders. He's also a lot smarter then everyone gives him credit for.

Logan - Child of Athena (sorry logicality shippers). He's smart and precise and fully embodies what he thinks a 'proper' child of Athena should be. He inherited his mother's dark hair and grey eyes and is very proud to say that he is not deadly afraid of spiders, it is only a mild phobia thank you very much! In the beginning he despises Patton because he's everything Logan thinks a child of Athena isn't (brown hair, blue eyes, freckled face, loud, boisterous, naive, makes puns), but after The Incident™ has since started to appreciate his half brother.

Roman - Child of Apollo!!!! He and Virgil have the <33 Solangelo vibes <33 He's sunshiney, has a huge ego, and is mainly focused on the musical aspects of his lineage; he can play multiple instruments and has the voice of an angel if he does say so himself- he's okay at Archery due to being a child of Apollo but he prefers using a sword during combat. He is absolutely terrible at healing - unless he's singing and accidentally mends a broken bone with a rendition of some Disney song. Despises Virgil at first and, like majority of the other campers, simply calls him 'The son of Hades' and avoids him at all costs, until Patton forces them to spend time together and okay maybe the emo boy is kind of nice. (And cute, but he'll never admit to thinking that) Janus - Child of nemesis, he tries his best to be noticed by everyone since his mom is a minor goddess and so rivals the Hermes cabin for 'People you should not be on the bad side of' at camp. Gets along stunningly with the Aphrodite kids and they help with his make-up. The scarring on his face was a result of a monster attack when he was a kid.

Remus - Unclaimed as far as everyone knows. He knows who his Godly parent is though. He was claimed back when he went to camp Jupiter.His mother was Cloacina, the Roman goddess of the sewers. Despite there being little to no discrimination among cohorts, people were always mocking him behind his back, so he ran away, and eventually found himself in camp half blood. The others assumed he was an unclaimed demigod, and he never corrected them, it was better this way. Until one day he exploded the toilets and people started theorising that he was a child of Poseidon.

[young-royals-confessions]

Ok so you know how we always find parallels between Nick & Charlie and Wille & Simon? Personally, I feel like Wilmon is more similar to Nico and Will from Percy Jackson. Like yeah, Heartstopper has stuff but Solangelo? The dead older sibling and distant parental? The single mom and two friends that Will always hangs out with? I could go on. They’re so similar.

Therefore I am proposing a Wilmon Sun and the Star AU or something like that. Wille as Nico and Simon as Will or something. I’d do it myself but I don’t have time 😭 Still, if anyone wrote it I would be first in line to read it. (Idk if anyone in this fandom has read Percy Jackson but I will still suggest this idea anyways). Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

epilogue

part 1 | 2 | ao3

so. it's been a bit longer than i thought it would be. but here it is. and it's about 3k more words than i thought it would be.

thanks to everyone who stuck this little au out until the end! and thanks for all the sweet comments and replies! y'all are awesome

tw brief mention of vomitting starts at, "He wasn't sure where they were when Will, holding the band at attention…" and ends at, "Horrible and disgusting incident avoided…"

-

One year later

Nico was sleeping soundly for once when his alarm went off at 3:30 in the goddamn morning, a criminal hour to wake up at if he did say so himself.

He was just contemplating what would happen if he stayed in bed when someone started banging on his door. "Nico! Get up! Will's gonna be here in a half hour!"

He got up.

It was still fucking night outside, so he stumbled around in the dark gathering clothes and his phone, keys, and wallet. Fortunately, he showered the night before, so he just changed in the bathroom and brushed his teeth, then went into the kitchen to make some cereal.

Hazel was already there, having gotten up before him. With dark circles under her eyes and a deadened expression, she didn't look much better than him. "Good morning."

Nico grumbled.

"Same."

And that was that.

Twenty minutes later, they were standing on the street outside their dad's house, and it was still fucking black as pitch outside and probably would be for another four hours or so. Next to him, Hazel was shivering slightly in her band tee and thermal undershirt.

Thankfully, that was when Will's old black Toyota Camry pulled around the corner, only seen by the headlights blaring out across the pavement.

Nico and Hazel walked down to the car and slid in, Nico into the passenger seat and Hazel into the back.

"Good morning," Will said, sounding more than a little groggy. The blond may have been more of a morning person than Nico, but he was very very diurnal. Only awake with the sun. The blond took a long sip from a McDonald's coffee cup before setting it in the cup holder. "How'd you sleep?"

A grumbled non-reply from both siblings was all the answer he needed.

"Me, too."

They drove in silence for a couple blocks. Then Will turned his head to look at Nico and seemed to do a double take. "What are you-stop drinking my coffee!"

"But I'm tired, and it's cold," Nico said as he finished his sip. "And my boyfriend didn't get me one."

Will turned to look at him for as long as it was safe while driving in the dark, mouth agape. "You don't even like coffee!"

Nico grinned into the cup. "It's four in the morning. Everyone likes coffee at four in the morning."

"I don't," Hazel said helpfully from the back. "But I wouldn't say no to some sweet tea."

Will groaned, a sound so full of longing that Nico would've believed he was dying of starvation had he not been able to see him. "God, I would kill for a good sweet tea right now."

"You two are so Southern," Nico said, though honestly his heart was warmed by the little exchange. He was glad that his boyfriend and sister could bond over something, even if it did make his heart ache for Italy a little.

"Yeah, yeah. You're just jealous that you've never tasted real Southern sweet tea," Will said, smiling. When Nico grumbled at him, he added, "Don't worry. We'll get you some this summer."

Right, because he was spending two weeks at the Solace family farm in June to meet his boyfriend's family before starting NRU in the fall. He was actually looking forward to it a lot despite the nerves. From what he'd heard, the Solaces were more like the Jacksons than any of his other friend's living parents, but still. It was going to be a lot. But for Will, he could do it. Maybe. Probably.

As they came up the hill to the school, Will spoke again. "Just out of curiosity, when did you go to bed last night?"

Nico's eyes widened. "Midnight," he said hesitantly. He hadn't done that on purpose, but seriously. What high schooler went to bed before midnight on a Friday night? Even the ones with a 4:15 a.m. call time?

Will's eyes swiveled to him. "That was four hours ago."

"Just be glad I went to bed at all." The last three years, he'd stayed up all night and slept on the bus which made last year's events all the more impressive. This year, he'd surely be more awake.

"Jesus christ," Will muttered, turning the car into the school parking lot. It was already about a fourth of the way full with band kids, so Will slid into a spot a few rows back. "That's not enough sleep."

"Yeah, Mr. I-probably-went-to-bed-at-seven-thirty-to-get-a-full-eight-hours."

Will's cheeks turned bright red. "That's not something to be ashamed of."

This time, even Hazel giggled from the back seat. "Yes, it is."

Will was still grumbling under his breath when they got out of the car and went into the band room. Inside, there were several teenagers ambling around, many of them practically sleepwalking. There were even a couple actually asleep in their chairs and at least one color guard member asleep under a flag silk. Nico was instantly jealous, even though he knew those silks were thin as fuck.

Will and Hazel went to their chairs at the front of the room because those overachievers were drum majors now, and Nico went to get his trombone from the instrument closet and set it by the door so that it was ready for the cargo drivers. When he came back, his uniform bag was already draped over the back of his chair. He frowned, then looked over at Will's spot to see his boyfriend smiling at him. Seeing Nico's eyes, Will cupped one hand in a half heart. In a moment of extreme sleep deprivation, Nico returned it.

More people continued to stream in as call time drew nearer, but Nico curled up on his chair and let his eyes close, at least until his phone buzzed in his pocket.

More than a little dazed, he blinked at Jason's contact.

Jason

Don't forget to go to the bathroom before you get on the bus

Nico closed his eyes and counted to ten.

Nico

did you really just get up to text me that

Without waiting for a response, he closed his eyes, then gave an annoyed curse as he opened them again and got up to go to the bathroom.

On his way back to the band room, he received a response from Jason that confirmed that, yes, he had gotten up specifically to text Nico to go pee. Good lord.

By the time he walked through the doors, it seemed most of the rest of the band had shown up, and Nico had to fight his way to his seat. A few minutes later, Will stood on his chair and blew his whistle to signal call time which meant Nico had 15 minutes to sit in his chair until they had to get on the buses, and that was exactly what he did. Sometime later, he vaguely registered the cargo guys coming in to put all their instruments in the storage truck and then the yellow buses pulling up outside the window.

When 4:30 rolled around, most everybody was ready in their chairs. Chiron, also suffering in a bright orange t-shirt and too little sleep, stepped up to the director's stand and said, "Buses are here! Let's go."

There was a collective groan as everybody stood up, rustling their uniform bags and clomping for the doors. Of course, as a low brass player, Nico was in the back. Hopefully Will got them a good spot.

Eventually, he made it outside into the cool night air, still behind the mob of orange t-shirts. Being the only people out at this time in their little bubble of lights, they cut a funny and kind of eerie sight, but Nico was too groggy to ponder that, so he instead followed the other seniors to the bus and found Will in a seat toward the middle back. He didn't even say hello, just threw his uniform bag on the floor and curled up on the seat with his head in Will's lap. The blond chuckled above him. "Sure, go ahead and take a nap. I'll wake you up for breakfast."

Without further ado, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Five months ago

Nico's dress pants crinkled uncomfortably on the metal folding chair beneath him as sweat dripped down his face, and he worried how he would play his trombone with the salty liquid in his mouth.

He ran out of time to figure it out, though, as the principal finished talking and started announcing names. In front of the band, the sun shining behind him, Chiron stepped onto the podium, raised his hands, and began conducting. Nico lifted his trombone to his mouth, then put it back down when he realized he had a long rest. The rest of the band dropped into pomp and circumstance, tucked away on the side of the football field.

The first few names, Nico didn't know, which meant they must've not been in band. They were barely through all of the B names when his rest was up, so, once again, he picked up his trombone and prepared to play. They hadn't practiced pomp and circumstance much in class, but this was his third time performing it, and it was an easy piece; he let his mind wander.

Somewhere out on the field, his friends were preparing to graduate in their caps and gowns, Jason, class president, preparing to give a speech to the crowd to say goodbye and send them off to the next big adventure, or whatever other euphemism he had chosen for his speech, and Nico was stuck behind a big yellow goalpost, literally on the sidelines.

It was a lot. Nico might even admit to having cried about it. But for once, he'd cried in the comfort of someone's arms, someone who wasn't about to leave him.

The song came back around to the beginning, and Nico let his trombone drop back to his knee. Over the years, the band had picked up the habit of clapping for each walking band member when they were resting, and this year was no different. As the flutes in the front row continued the melody, Nico listened for names he recognized. It would still be a while before any of his friends were called, though.

Unfortunately, that meant he stopped playing just as Octavian's name was called. He barely kept a boo from slipping out of his mouth, but when the freshman next to him - Macy, a strange coincidence - raised her hands to clap, he didn't refrain from lightly touching her arm and saying, "Don't clap for him, he sucks."

It was truly a testament to how much he'd grown into the section leader role (or how gullible freshmen were) that she nodded without question. He may have grinned a little.

Soon, the rest ended, and he was back in pomp and circumstance. The alphabet continued to pass, too, until Hannah Garrison was being called and eventually Jason Grace, met with the raucous sound of trumpet and drumline applause (plus some others that were definitely supposed to be playing) but which Nico only acknowledged with a huff into his mouthpiece and a stutter on his slide. He would feel that one later.

More names, more music. He was still playing when the Ms rolled around, and was thus able to pointedly ignore the announcement of Piper McLean, but his trombone wasn't up when the Rs started.

No, and he quickly realized it was much harder to ignore his feelings when there was nothing else to focus on, nothing but the pressing call of Reyna Ramirez-Arellano, especially not when his entire section erupted into applause. He weakly clapped his hands together, still refusing to look up at the stage.

The next time he started playing again, it was dark outside of the football stadium, and he was horrified to realize that his hands were shaking. He didn't bother trying to play. With the way his embouchure refused to take shape, it would just come out all breathy, anyway.

Objectively, he knew that he was reacting far better than he would've last year, far better than did at Percy and Annabeth's graduation, before getting together with Will, but the knowledge didn't stop the pain. It wasn't as bad as it could've been, but he still hurt, still felt just a little abandoned. He couldn't stop himself from thinking about what the next school year would be like without the backdrop of his cousins, when all their major presences were gone and he didn't get to see them everyday. And it wasn't just them. There were so many other faces he would miss: Clarisse, the Stolls, Rachel. It wouldn't be the same without them.

Leo was the final straw.

When the drummer's name was announced, the pressure behind Nico's eyes burst, and tears started rolling down his face. Somehow, he kept his trombone up, though his hand quit moving the slide, and next to him, Macy shot over an anxious glance. There was nothing he could do to reassure her. He didn't even have enough remaining focus to be embarrassed.

100 feet away, the principal kept plodding along, steadily making it through the list of names until he finally got to the last one - Frank Zhang, of course - and Chiron led the band into the finale.

Thank god. Nico immediately took his trombone apart with the rest of the band and shoved it in his case under his seat, then sat back, rubbing his wet eyes.

The tears were still coming. He couldn't stop that. But the big black empty chasm that had nearly consumed him last year wasn't there. Last year, the abyss had taken hold of him and terrified him, and he'd run away to his dark bedroom to wallow in despair and shame. This year, he could make it through.

The principal got up to say another few words, then introduced Jason, class president and valedictorian. Damn overachiever.

Anyway.

From all the way over on the track, Nico couldn't see his face, or anything defining of his features at all really except a bit of his blond hair. He also couldn't hear him too well, which was probably for the best. Even so, his eyes were still wet when 500 hats flew up into the air, and everyone stood, clapping and yelling and hugging.

The band also got up with the crowd, following the audience to go congratulate their kids. Nico looked around for Hazel, but she was already halfway across the field with her tuba. That at least brought the smallest of smiles to his face.

Trombone case in hand, he almost went to follow her. Then he caught sight of Will walking toward him.

It was easy to fall into his boyfriend's arms, easier to stifle his coming sobs in Will's white button down. He only gave himself a few seconds, though, because there were people everywhere, and he actually wanted to spend time with his friends before breaking down for the night.

But later, after everyone had gone home and Nico was in the safety of Will's arms in his bedroom, he did cry, a lot, and probably came out the other side better for it.

Now

"Breakfast in five!" Mr. D shouted from the front of the bus. Unsurprisingly, he said nothing else before sitting back down.

Nico groaned and sat up, blinking the early dawn light out of his tired eyes. "You said you were gonna wake me up."

When he didn't get an answer, he shifted on the cracked leather seat to face Will and barked out a laugh. His boyfriend was fast asleep against the window.

He took a second to admire how his hair shimmered in the new light like a halo. He was not ashamed to admit that he snapped a picture, but right after that, he shook Will's shoulder and said, "Wake up, Sunshine."

For a moment, he didn't do anything. Then, his eyes fluttered open, and he groaned. "Time's'it?"

Nico laughed at his hair sticking up on the window side as Will sat up. "A little before six."

Will yawned and stretched. "That's too early."

"Agreed."

Now that he could see out the window, Nico spied the bus coming up on a rest stop, and he could see that the BPO had already set up white folding tables full of snacks and whatnot.

The sight gave him pause. On the one hand, he and Will had first gotten close at a rest stop, and he would forever be grateful for that. On the other hand. On the other hand. They had been stuck there for six hours, and he didn't exactly enjoy their final moments there.

Before he could sort out his feelings, someone toward the front of the bus said, "Is it just me, or does anyone else not want to stop?"

Laughter rang through the seats, and more than a few people vocally agreed.

"Yeah, we might get stuck all day this time," Nico said, only half kidding. Will snorted.

Despite the trauma of the seniors, the bus continued on into the rest stop and settled in next to the other three big yellow vehicles. Slowly, as some people were still waking up, they all ambled out into the parking lot, leaving uniform bags behind. Most stopped to stretch on the way to the breakfast table, but some made a B-line for the bathroom.

Nico and Will followed the other seniors to the food. Calling it breakfast, of course, was a bit of a misnomer. It was more a display of what truckers might buy from a gas station if they were trying to be healthy: granola bars, fruit snacks, browning fruit, cereal bars, chip bags, and, because they weren't monsters, some fun size pieces of candy. At the end of the table were coolers of soda and water. Nico grabbed a granola bar and a Reese's, forgoing the drinks in favor of not pissing himself in the middle of the parade. Behind him, Will grabbed a bag of Doritos, and they made their way over to an empty parking spot to stand and eat.

They didn't say anything, still groggy and eager to not be at a rest stop. A glance across the lot said most of the other seniors were in the same boat.

It was kinda funny to think that their entire graduating class in marching band had rest stop related trauma. Trauma bonding, and all that.

A couple parking spots away, he spotted Hazel standing with her junior friends. She waved to him, and he smiled back but continued to glance around nervously like one of the buses was about to start smoking or something.

Back in front of him, Will finished off his Doritos, crumpled up the bag, and said, "I kinda hate it here."

Nico breathed a sigh of relief. "Me, too."

"It's stupid, but I'm terrified we're gonna get stuck," Will said. He tossed his bag in a nearby trash can.

"I know." The worst thing was, he meant it.

Will wasn't done, though. "I mean, I'm not mad it happened, because, obviously-" he gestured at Nico "-it turned out pretty great, but I never want to be trapped in the middle of nowhere for-"

"-for six hours, I know," Nico finished for him. "Yeah, I get it." He blushed, preparing himself for embarrassing vulnerability. "Besides, the great thing already happened, so if we get stuck again, it'll never turn out like last time. It'll just suck."

"Right." Will gave him a sickeningly fond look, then a smug grin overtook his face. "But it'll suck with you."

Nico's mouth dropped open as he processed Will's terribly romantic line, and he gently smacked his boyfriend on the arm. "That was so bad, you sappy bastard." Even so, he was smiling.

Will just smirked. "Wanna see if we can convince Chiron to head out early?"

"God, yes." I love you so much.

*Four months ago*

It was very odd being at band camp without any of his older cousins and friends. Objectively, he knew that they had each been there for the same four years and he was about to be, but something about them, following them around and succeeding them, gave them the impression of looming figures that had been there forever, almost like elementary kids thinking their teachers lived at school. They were eternal, perpetual; it was hard to believe they would never be in that position again, harder still to believe this was Nico's last time in this position, though, honestly it helped that Nico knew that Jason, Percy, and the others were asleep a couple blocks over at Percy's apartment because Nico and Hazel had come from there after a sleepover at Percy's insistence

They were at band camp. It was July 25, 9:30 a.m. Nico was the most powerful student in his vicinity since Hazel left him for drum major and no one applied for the other low brass section leader position. He hated it. But he also kinda loved it. But he also kinda felt like the roof had been ripped from over his head, leaving him to hold back the elements, because Mr. D was in charge of fundies for brass today, and his only instruction was, "Listen to your section leaders," before he sat down in a lawn chair in the shade of a large cedar tree.

Now, 19 kids were staring at him expectantly, 7 of them freshmen that had never marched before in their lives. He sighed. "Everybody put your instruments down, we're gonna learn basics."

Now

They did not convince Chiron to leave the rest stop early.

("We have let people stretch their legs this early in the morning," he said, looking a little amused.

"Actually, I'm really looking forward to getting back on the bus and going back to sleep," Nico countered, and Will agreed with a perfunctory, "Yeah." He didn't see why people needed to move around when they were all still dreaming of their beds at home.

Chiron shook his head. "Sorry, boys. Not gonna happen.")

But that was a bit over an hour ago, and, after a short nap, they were now at NRU, milling around, sort of in parade block, while they waited for the marching to start. They were in the middle of Greek Town with frat houses on either side of the road they were standing on. The only difference? Olympus was leading the high school bands instead of bringing up the back.

"Nico?" Reyna yelled from her place in NRU's color guard block. She jogged over to him. "What are you doing in front? I thought I wouldn't get to see you until the end." The other trombones next to him glanced over curiously, then turned away in disinterest, but Will and Hazel, in their white and orange drum major uniforms, walked over to say hi.

Nico took a wild second to take in Reyna's NRU guard uniform: glittery purple sequins, set against bright orange over a short black skirt, hair pulled back into two tight braids. Her face was also covered in orange and purple glitter. She was probably going insane. At least in high school, they let her wear a men's uniform. "Yeah, they put us in front."

She opened her mouth, and Nico thought she was about to tell him something. Instead, she turned around and screamed, "Piper! Look who they put in front this year?"

It was hard to see through the color guard, but distantly, he saw someone vaguely Piper shaped in the flute section turn around, drop her jaw in shock, and turn back around to yell at someone in front of her. Then, she sprinted over and said, "Hey guys! How's band been without us this year?"

"Well, the freshmen-"

"Nico! Hazel! Hey!" This one was Percy, Leo close behind him. "And Will! How was the ride down?"

Before he could answer, Jason jogged over, and said, "Percy, unzip me."

What? Nico almost asked if he'd heard right, then Percy said, "I got you."

Nico's eyes widened, and he looked around the group. Will and Hazel had similar expressions of confusion on their faces, but Reyna, Piper, and Leo just looked amused. Frank came over then, and he and Hazel broke off to talk.

While Jason and Percy were doing...whatever they were doing, Annabeth wandered over, hair tucked up into her hat, and immediately got a look of exasperation on her face. "You two were serious about that?"

If Nico thought she would clear anything up, he was wrong.

Percy finished unhooking and unzipping Jason's marching band jacket which was somehow even uglier than the high school ones: overlapping purple N and R on thick orange and black horizontal stripes. Olympus' were simple orange with some purple whorls. (Olympus had struck some sort of deal with NRU for them to be allowed to use the same colors and logo as the college, resulting in the worst color scheme known to man.)

Then, Jason took the jacket off, and Nico stared. There were chip bags, water bottles, and other snacks taped to the inside of the garment.

"What the hell did you two do?" Nico asked wearily. Will looked like he was trying not to laugh.

"We brought you food," Percy said helpfully.

Nico gestured helplessly. "Why, exactly?"

Jason started pulling the food off the jacket and handing it to Nico and Will. "In case your bus breaks down again."

"Oh my god." Nico almost fumbled a granola bar. "What the hell are we supposed to do with all this?"

Jason stood and looked at Nico like he was the one being weird. "Tape it to your jackets."

That was the last straw for Leo apparently, who busted out laughing.

Annabeth eyed her boyfriend. "We told them not to do that, just so you know."

Will grinned at her. "We figured."

"Oh, and Thalia said she's in the crowd somewhere by Jupiter's."

Cool, Nico looked forward to seeing his oldest cousin. After graduating high school, she decided to go to a local automotive program instead of enrolling in NRU. Her dad had been pissed, but Nico knew that was probably one of her goals. "I'll keep a lookout for her."

Then, he looked down at the food in his arms and sighed, then reached over to unzip Will's jacket to start taping things to it.

Chiron and Mr. D were nowhere to be found, so they should still have plenty of time for this bullshit before the parade started.

When he was done, he looked up to see Frank handing Hazel food a few feet away. How come *she* didn't have to tape it to her clothes?

Then, because they weren't finished, of course, Percy took his hat off, careful of the plume, and took a Ziploc bag full of cold pizza out. "Put this in your hat."

Nico stared dumbfounded, and Will gave him a look that Nico assumed to mean, Your family is fucking weird. "Are you serious?"

Percy rolled his eyes and shook the bag. "Yeah, take it."

Internally cursing every single event that led him to this, Nico grabbed the bag and shoved it up into his hat. The hats were tall but tight, so it should stay fine. He'd once marched an entire half-time show with a Kit-Kat in it.

Finally, Reyna patted him on the back and said, "We should probably all get in line. Good luck today."

The others gave them similar messages as they filed back into their lines until just Nico, Will, Hazel, and Percy were left standing there.

Percy looked at Nico. "Hey, you guys are gonna do great today, alright?"

Nico nodded, confused. "Okay."

"Percy! Come on!" Annabeth yelled from somewhere in the clarinet section.

He ignored her, and Nico knew whatever he said next would be both important and uncomfortable. "We're all really proud and can't wait for you to be here next year." Nico opened his mouth, but Percy turned around and started running away. "Okay bye!"

With that, he ran off, and Nico huffed after him. What an annoying turd. Nico kinda loved him.

"That was sweet," Hazel said.

Nico was about to ask her where she put the stuff Frank gave her when Chiron walked up to the front of the band with two juniors Nico didn't know and Olympus' banner. That meant they were about to start marching. He stepped into line with his trombone.

Chiron turned to face the band, though he was really talking to Will and Hazel. "Everybody ready? We should be going soon."

They nodded. Now, it was just a matter of waiting.

While they were standing there, Will turned to Nico and said, "I can't believe I'm about to march four miles with Cheetos poking me in the chest."

"Same," Hazel said. "Although I think mine are Cheez-Its."

Nico had to laugh at that. "Well, I've got pizza on my head. I don't think any of us thought we'd be here."

Will and Hazel laughed, giving Nico a warm, fuzzy feeling. "Hey, how'd you get it to stay without falling out of your pants?" Nico asked.

Hazel looked at him oddly. "It's in my bra, Nico."

Nico wasn't sure how to respond to that. Thankfully, he didn't have to as NRU's band chose that moment to call everyone to attention. Will and Hazel started their beat clapping, and almost immediately, the drum line started in.

"Band!" Will and Hazel yelled. "Ten-hut!"

The whole band went rigid, everyone standing at attention. For the trombones, that meant holding the instrument horn pointing down, elbows at about a 90-degree angle. Their heels were together, toes apart. They were hyped and ready.

A minute later, they started walking. Contrary to popular belief, marching bands didn't actually walk with their knees up to their chests because that would not only be ridiculous, but it would make it harder to play their instruments. Instead, they did glide stepping which just meant walking with immaculate posture, keeping toes up, and moving hips as little as possible. It was the best way to walk while blowing into an instrument, and the best way to not break a tooth on a mouthpiece which had been known to happen.

They were still in Greek Town, so there was probably some time before they played any music. For now, it was just cadences, so Nico got to watch NERO's color guard. Their flags were just orange and purple blurs. It was awesome.

Eventually, they started playing music: the school theme song and their show song that year, 'We Will Rock You' interspersed with cadences.

They passed hordes and horses of people, many of which were pushing the boundaries of the road, and NRU guard member almost hit a kid. It was all part of the game, though. Happened every year.

They made it into the main part of campus by the library, then looped back out to go into the city. Pizza bouncing on his head, they passed apartments and restaurants, thrift stores and bodegas. At one point, they passed Jupiter's, and he thought he saw Thalia's dark head, but he couldn't be certain. It was hard to parse out anyone on the sidelines while playing.

He wasn't sure where they were when Will, holding the band at attention, suddenly gave him an urgent look and pointed over his shoulder. Nico turned and somehow managed to stay in step without whacking anyone with his instrument, and his eyes widened.

The freshman behind him - he couldn't tell which one it was beneath the hat - was way too pale and sweaty, and Nico knew exactly what was about to happen.

"Step out to the side and find Chiron," he said firmly.

Thankfully, the kid managed to step out of the block a second before vomiting and even avoided all the bystanders. Nico stayed turned around just long enough to see Chiron walk up next to the poor kid. They should be fine, but he made a mental note to check on them later.

Horrible and disgusting incident avoided, he went back to watching Will.

A few more turns later, they came up on the judges' table, and Will and Hazel started them on "We Will Rock You" for the final time. Nico did one last check of his posture and feet, called guide and cover down - they should be perfect.

And then that was it. They had passed the judges' table. The competition was over. They had two blocks left before they were done forever.

It was the first time that thought filled him with dread. For years, he'd been looking forward to leaving his shitty past behind. He wanted to go to college to be with his friends even though he still has no idea what he wanted to do, to finally leave the place that felt like it had been dragging him down. He was endlessly excited to start making a real life with Will where they had the freedom to think about their future away from the pressure and expectations of their looming parents. He already had a dorm lined up with his boyfriend, scholarships, an orientation date, he'd even finally scheduled his driver's test, but now? He was scared. What if he wasn't ready to leave Olympus?

Who was he kidding? The only thing still here for him was Hazel. Memories, old and new, were waiting for him with his cousins. He could cherish his last year here, but even with the overwhelming feeling of an ending, he knew he wouldn't miss it. Not that much, at least.

They turned the corner onto an empty street, one bordered by dorms with a big lawn in the middle dotted with trees. Drumline played the 'end march' beat. They stopped walking and dispersed across the grass, some people already tearing off their jackets and hats. NRU's band continued on toward the football field.

Nico walked right up to Will. "I can't wait to go here with you next year."

Will's eyes widened, clearly not expecting such honesty. "Me, too. Any particular reason?"

Across the field, a clarinet in a blue uniform crashed into a trumpet in a green uniform, sending them both tumbling into the grass, both giggling and shrieking the other's name. "No. I just really fucking love you."

Will's expression went unbearably soft. "I really fucking love you, too."

One week, one day before

As Lou Ellen Blackstone stepped out of the circle, Will glanced up at the scoreboard, lit up bright against the night sky. "Three minutes until halftime."

Nico didn't quite know how, but he somehow ended up in the middle of the circle. Now, he hadn't been planning on giving a senior speech since, honestly, he didn't think he was involved enough for anyone to care what he had to say, but, evidently, he was wrong because what felt like a dozen pairs of hands pushed him into the circle. His first thought was to panic; he couldn't find Will, and he hated public speaking. Then, he caught sight of his sweet, sweet boyfriend and managed to find his breath, even if getting the words out past the lump in his throat after the previous speeches was a struggle. "Hi, I'm Nico."

"Hi, Nico."

Despite it all, he grinned. "I have no idea how many of you know me because I never try to talk to anyone, but, but holy shit, I am so fucking ready to graduate." There were a few snorts, but he kept looking at Will who looked exasperated, if a bit sad. "But I have loved marching band, and I will probably miss you guys."

At that, Will's face took on a proud look as the people around them cheered. He even heard someone shout, "Mr. D-ass goodbye, di Angelo!"

Whatever. He was too focused on the tears in his boyfriend's eyes to care what anyone else thought of his speech. As far as he was concerned, it was the best one, at least until Will went.

And that one. Boy did that one make him cry. It might've been the worst half time show he'd ever marched.

But to him, it was damn good.

Now

"Third place drumline goes to Othrys High School with 89 points," one of the judges, a sweet looking older woman, said as she read off her clipboard to the several marching bands gathered on the lawn. "Second place is Pelion High School with 92 points." Everyone held their breath. "And first place with 98 points is Olympus High School."

Energy thrummed across the orange and purple-clad teens, but they refrained from celebrating. There were still two more categories to go. However, Nico did grab Will's hand in suspense. He was only human.

"Third place in visuals goes to Ithaca High School with 87 points, second to Othrys High School with 94 points, and first to Olympus High School with 95 points."

They were cutting it close with that score but thankfully still in the lead. Nico squeezed Will's hand tighter. The next category would be the decider.

"Third place in musicality goes to Pelion High School for 91 points, second to Othrys High School with 96 points, and third to Olympus High School with a whopping 99 points!"

They still didn't celebrate, waiting for the final call, but Nico and Will did glance at each other in excitement. They won.

The judge flipped the page on her clipboard. "Honorable mention for overall performance goes to Ithaca High School with 245 points; third to Pelion High School with 265 points; second to Othrys High School with 279 points." She paused, clearly drumming up drama even though they all knew who won by now. "And first place with the best high school marching band in southern New York goes to Olympus High School with 292 points!"

Now, they celebrated, jumping up and down and yelling, pumping fists in the air, the whole shebang. They had fucking earned this.

Someone at the front of the lawn handed Chiron the trophy (and it wasn't a small one, either, probably the size of Nico's entire arm), and Mr. D held up a hand. They quieted.

He didn't speak right away, taking a deep breath like he was going to give a lengthy speech. "You did good today."

When it became apparent he wasn't going to say anything else, they erupted in screams, possibly more raucous than before.

Nico looked up at Will and did a double take. "Are you crying?"

Will sniffled. "It's-it's a lot."

"Oh my god, come here." Nico pulled his head down to cradle in his neck. Chip bags crinkled under the uniform. "I'm gonna miss it, too."

They didn't stay like that long, constantly aware of where they were, so when they pulled away, Will's eyes were still red-rimmed and leaking, but thankfully not as wet as before.

The blond gazed up at the buildings in front of them, one of them to be their home next year, and never once let go of Nico's hand. "Are you ready?"

Nico followed his sightline. "Yep."

And this year, their bus didn't break down.

I need a marauders Percy Jackson AU with these godly parents-

Sirius- Dionysus

James- Apollo

Peter and Barty- Hermes

Remus and Lily- Athena

Regulus- Hades

Evan and Mary- Aphrodite

Marlene and Frank - Nike

Snape- Nemesis

Emmeline- Hestia (not child. Like favourite or something)

Dorcas and Sybill- Hecate

Alice- Ares

More stuff-

-Remus would be a special favourite of Selene, since she is a virgin goddess and has no children of her own

-Sirius and Regulus only share a mortal parent (walburga probably rather than Orion)

-Dionysus as camp director ignores every word Sirius says simply because he can

-Pandora is the oracle (so like Rachel basically)

-Genderfluid Sirius. I will have it no other way.

-I also want non-binary Pandora and trans Reg + Emmeline

-wolfstar, starchaser, pandalily, Emmary, Dorlene, rosekiller, potentially Peter and Sybill, nobleflower maybe or quillkiller

-the black family is like the chase family in like how they attract gods or whatever

- Minnie = Chiron (not as a centaur but like she could pull it off)

- Bipolar James HC has my whole heart so that must be included

-starchaser are such fierrochase and solangelo variants

Safe (better keep that thought to yourself) (1/1)

summary: Nico figured he was probably overprepared, but it was better to be safe than sorry, especially when leaving his child with some guy he barely knew and a kid he’d never met.

God, he hoped Will wasn’t some kind of psychopath.

Nico had never been one for socializing. He kept mostly to himself in high school, never really tried that hard to make friends in college before he dropped out, and even after Mia came into his life he hadn’t wanted to make friends with any of the other parents.

If it hadn’t been for Jason and Piper - old friends of his from high school who had been co-parenting their seven-year-old son despite having broken up a few months before Piper even learned about her pregnancy - then Nico probably wouldn’t have left his house aside from going to work for as long as he could. As it was, as soon as Nico officially became a parent, Piper was dragging Nico out of the house once every other week to join her single parents support group.
