    Summary

    Nico knows he shouldn't be staring like that. He knows it's weird and creepy and totally inappropriate. He knows the lady to his left has probably noticed, or will in the next few minutes if he doesn't stop. But then the coach turns again and Nico gets a better view of his back and the curve of his ass, and no, he's not going to stop just yet.

    Summary

    Will remembers his name, everything else outside of that? Well, he draws a blank. So, the last thing he wants to do is run headfirst into a dangerous maze. Of course, keeping his head down and hiding in the infirmary with his newfound abilities only works for so long, after all the Fates have other plans for him.

    Nico has been in the maze since it began—the hideous ‘1’ burned into his arm announces it so—he knows how to survive its dangers alone. And he knows how to avoid Percy Jackson. Except the Labyrinth’s latest newcomer has no intentions of letting him disappear so easily after their chance meeting, despite how adamantly Nico tries to push him away.

    Percy remembers the name of every camper they’ve lost to the Labyrinth. The weight of such knowledge has him slowly drowning in grief and loss and guilt as the years inside the clearing pass. Annabeth, despite their complicated relationship, keeps him afloat as they navigate holding the lives of many in their hands. But the past is catching up to Percy and the future is looking just as bleak.

    Summary

    Nico had a timer on his forearm that counted down to the moment he met his soulmate. It did not, however, tell him what he was supposed to do once he met them.

    Nico di Angelo hated the concept of soulmates. He wanted to choose who he spent his life with, and he certainly didn’t trust a stranger not to break his heart. True love was something that happened to other people; it did not happen to him.

    If given the choice, Nico would have gone the rest of his life without ever meeting his soulmate, but no, the universe just had to pair him with Will Solace, a hopeless romantic he had nothing in common with and who thought Nico’s approach to soulmates was cynical and pessimistic.

    It couldn’t work. It shouldn’t work…

    …but Fate had a plan for him, and Nico was about to learn that falling in love was a long slow descent.

    Summary

    Sally crouched down in front of where Nico sat on the couch, and smiled warmly at him. “Percy tells me you don’t have a place to stay at the moment,” she said, gentle and non-judgemental.

    Nico shot Percy an accusatory glare, but he annoyingly didn’t baulk at the daggers Nico was sending him, nor did he show any regret in telling Sally about his personal life. “I’m fine.”

    “A brave, independent kid like you? I’m sure you are.”

    Sally’s praise shouldn’t have pleased him as much as it did, and Nico had to physically stop himself from preening. When was the last time he had received a compliment from a parental figure?

    But... if you’re looking for a place you can use as a homebase, there is plenty of space for you here.”
