Nico X Will - Blog Posts

pov you don’t ship cannon ships and crash out when you see them interact in the media

A very conflicting night

Ship : Soangelo

Warning there may be spelling mistakes and this is my first time writing Soangelo

Nico's eyes darted around, where in all hades was he. Nico really wasn't in the mood to look all over camp for Will Solace

He hadn't been at the Infirmary or at the Apollo's cabin not even at camp fire with the rest of the his cabin

Solace had been getting on his nerves all day, Nico had lost his cool and gotten angry

But now he was scared, scared Will might hate him. That he might push him away, It was slliy that he liked him in the first place

A child of the underworld liking a child of Apollo was ridiculous, Will is all happy good luck and Nico......Nico isn't like that at all

He's dark and bitter, an outcast at best

Nico closed his eyes, where would a son of Apollo go when upset 'Somewhere where the sun is shining perhaps' Nico thought

He opened his eyes and looked around for somewhere sunny. The sun was already going down, he’d have to be fast

By the gods how could he not have thought of that

Nico ran untill his feet burned he was too far away, he wouldn’t make it

Will would be gone by the time he got there, Will would have gone back to his cabin.

That thought made Nico stop in his tracks. His eyes burned, he turned around and walked back to his cabin. Will wouldn’t want to see him efter what he said, Why would he.

Nico crossed a line, he wanted to run. To run away for everyone, he didn’t want anyone to see him. He forced himself to keep walking as tears swammed his eyes

He couldn’t cry he was still outside, his feelings had to wait untill he was alone. If anyone saw him like this they’d probably start laughing

Who wouldn’t

No they was still a long way to his cabin ‘Don’t think about it’ Nico thought. By the time Nico was infort of the door the sky was almost Black, he quickly went inside and threw himself on to his bed

Why did he say that, he should have stayed quite. It was just joke, a really bad joke that made him uncomfortable. Nico grab his journal and pick up a pen

Another one of his Father’s ‘i want to know my son’ gifts, it was a quite werid exchange. Hades had appeared by his bedside about a week ago, given him a leather bound book and 5 pens then just left

It almost made Nico laugh, his father hadn’t really said anything but that was fine. It was a bitter sweet gift, a tear fell on the page. When he had open it, it had landed on his last entry

about him

Nico wanted to rip the page out and burn it, he didn’t.

There was still 2 Hours untill curfew, he could leave right now, shadow travel never have to see Will again never have to see anyone from Camp half blood again, just walk though a city alone or go back to the underworld stay at his Father’s Palace, Hades wouldn’t turn him away

who would stop him

No he couldn’t run away again, he couldn’t run away from his friends. He had to stay and talk with Will, apologize

Nico almost dropped his book as someone loudly Knocked on the door, he quickly shoved it under his covers and wipped away his tears

Nico steadied his voice, maybe it was just Percy wanting to check in “Come in”

Will Solace slipped inside a frown formning as he closed the door “What are doing here?” Nico couldn’t meet Will’s eyes

“wow, what a wellcome” Will sounded hurt

Nico paniced, he had hurt him....how could he fix that “sorry” Nico managed his voice growing weaker as stared at the floor

“Nico.....” Will’s voice was gently this time “Are you okay?” Nico haddn’t realisted he was crying, he had been so wrapped up in thinking about how to fix this

“I’m fine” Nico huffed wipping his tears away still refussing to meet Will’s eyes “What did you-” Nico was cut off guard as Will genlty pushed him against the headboard

“Talk about.......” Will straddled him without any hesitation, Will’s face went red he seemed to think he fucked op. He quickly moved sitting infort of Nico instead “sorry... i-i didn’t think”

“It’s okay” Nico muttered his own face turning red, the silence was unbearable

Nico opened his mouth to say something but Will beat him too it “Nico, about early. At the camp fire i mean, i shouldn’t have said that it...” Will took a shakey breath “It wasn’t okay, And i’m sorry”

Why in all Hades was Will apoloizing to him Nico should be the one apoloizing “W-What? No it was my fault, i...i shouldn’t have gotten angey. I’m sorry”

Will tensed “No Nico no, it wasn’t your fault. Really it wasn’t, i shouldn’t have said.....that”

Silence filled the room yet again, Nico wanted to reach out. To reach out and take Will’s hand, to cry and apologize for being an idiot and freaking out

Nico restrained himself, but Will didn’t. Nico’s heart skipped a beat as Will entangled they’re hands

“I hope you can fo-“ Nico crashed they’re lips together shutting Sun boy op very quickly, he just wanted Solace to be quite for a bit

Will didn’t seem to mind, he wrapped a hand around Nico’s hip. Nico smiled and scooted closer, Will pulled away slightly just enough to look in Nico’s eyes

“I-i shouldn’t-“ Will cradled his chin and pulled Nico in for another kiss

Will pulled him impossibly close, not seeming to remember why he came here whatever it was it could wait. He wanted to throw Nico down, to kiss him untill they were both breathless.

But Will pulled away reminding himself that he had a reason for coming to the Hades cabin and it was decidedly not to make out with Mister di Angelo. No matter how much he wanted to

Nico took a shakey breath his mind was racing, they kissed they had really kissed. Nico hopped his face wasn’t as red as it felt, he was rustled away from his thoughts as Will shook his shoulder “Earth to Nico, Can you hear me?”

“What, sorry where you saying somthing?” Nico stammered doing his best to ignore his throbbing heart beat, Will chuckled with a sad smile

“i said, i’m sorry about what i said at the camp fire, it wasn’t okay and i hope you can forgive me for that” Will moved his hands away from Nico

“I....i’m sorry too, i shouldn’t have freaked out like that. I-i do forgive you, and I hope you can forgive too” Nico barely got the words out as hot tears stream down his checks

“Oh Nico” Will flung his arms around the smaller boy hugging him as tightly as he could, Nico squeaked “shit sorry” Will quickly pulled way as he cussed himself for forgeting. By the gods he was idiot Nico doesn’t like being touched

Will’s eyes darted op, Nico was laughing. Nico di Angelo was laughing yet still in tears “You idiot! We literally kissed like a second ago, do you really think i care about hugging right now?” Nico continued laughing as leaned his head back against the Wall

Nico looked back down at Will smiling sweetly, Will threw himself into Nico’s lap giving him a quick kiss before hugging him yet again. “ Gods Nico how are this cold” Will rubbed Nico’s arm making him blush

Will looked around, how could the Hades cabin not have any blankets “Nico do you have any blankets?” Nico noded “Yeah, um fuck where did i put it” Will moved out of Nico’s lap accidentally knocking Nico’s covers off the bed

Nico’s eyes widened “Are you alright there?” Will asks a concerned look in his eyes “Yeah yeah” Nico quickly swiped the book along with the pen in one hand before putting it in his nighstand

Will raised an eyebrow “What was that?” He asked staring at the nightstand “Oh nothing” Nico said bentting down and pulling out a Blanket from under his bed, Will didn’t press

Will stared at the blanket, it was modeled after the nights sky. They quickly cuddled op, Will was a little hesitant at first he almost looked at Nico like a mindfield where was okay where wasn’t

Nico was hesitant too despite what they did minutes ago Nico’s eyes drifted Will’s slightly parted lips, so lovely and pink “Nico, um where. Um” Nico smiled knowingly genlty taking Will’s hands and putting them around his waist

Nico put his own hands in air, Will blushed he’ll have to tell me where to hold “Same place?” Nico asked, Will quickly noded laying his head against Nico’s chest. The two demigods quickly fell asleep

That was probably the most conflicting night of Nico’s life

Completed tsats, in the middle of exam week, guess I have my priorities straight. Okay, let's get into the pro and con opinions of mine in this book.

Pros

1.Nico got over his trauma. Not completely of course, but he is on the right path. And the cocoa puffs are really cute ( send me fanart).

2.I am glad nico is more emotive in this. We saw him smile more, make jokes and generally be more optimistic then the other books. I felt like titan's curse nico is coming back and i love it. I love that nerdy side to him.

3.We see him cry it out. After so long of seeing him being described as emotionless, cold and scary, it was nice to see him letting out his emotions.

4. I love that he is so affectionate with will. We already know that nico is physically affectionate with the people he cares about, like hugging Jason, reyna, and kissing hazel on the cheek. It makes sense that he will be affectionate with his bf.

5. I love that the entire story revolves around how kind nico is. Like we knew that nico was the only one who saw and talked to hestia. His selflessness is the most important trait of his but also the most overlooked. But it's also the trait that got him in the most trouble. I am glad that he told nyx to f**k off, it means he is learning to prioritise himself and i am so glad for that. Also it felt so good to see people and deities acknowledge that, too the point that a primordial goddess was threatened by it. Listen up kids, KINDNESS IS YOUR BIGGEST STRENGTH NOT A WEAKNESS.

6. I liked will's characterisation. He's exactly what I taught he will be, kind, daring, supportive and brave. And he learns, accepts his mistakes and meets nico in the middle, what more can i ask. ( I feel like a parent giving their blessings to their child's so)

7. Nyx felt threatening, way better then gaia. And I really liked the way the final battle was more psychological then physical. And the new development in wills powers, that's a head cannon that felt validated. He can use plague powers, powerfull sunshine boy, nico, powerful sunshine boy.

8.Bob and small bob, they are the best. And them being happy and enjoying their freedom, ah, I was crying. I love them.

9.The deities crying over solangelo. I get it, they are so cute. Kind of shows a human side to them. And that talk about lost souls with gorgyra, yeah, another scene that brought me too tears. The fact that they still have hope. Warmed my heart.

10.Loved the talk about change , and being true to yourself and having the option to choose. It read nicely and it's a great message for the kids out there, not just LGBTQ kids, to everyone. And even bitter adults can learn this lesson. So be open minded people.

As a literature student, I am done with all the nihilist, Existentionalist, tragic stories that I had to read. This was the cheesy, funny, pure, and sweet book that I wanted to get rid of all this stress. And that's what I want from a percy Jackson series book.

Cons

1.It was rushed. But I think I understand. I mean they had to put nico's solo tartarus plot, the actual plot of the story and also address their trauma, add fanservice, create a believable story for why nico had to go to tartarus again ( sideyes hades) , yeah way too much for a spinnoff.

2.I would have love to know more about will. Don't get me wrong, as I gushed about it, I really like their interactions. But it felt like he was made for those interactions, like will solace is still not an individual character but nico di angelo's boyfriend. To me it felt like Rick was telling," look at this sunshine boy, I would tell you why he is perfect for nico", hence the earlier blessing comment. ( you have my blessing will, you have my blessing). But I don't care about it much, for me I was looking forward to Nico's story and I got it so I am happy.

3.There were inconsistencies, like bianca and his mother. It felt like a retconn, but it's also a story about gods, so it makes sense that hades will do it.

4.The tartarus parts didn't hit as much as I thought it would, nicos past solo trip, that is. Maybe it's because the story was written by two authors. I cried but it didn't tear my heart out. Maybe because I know nico gets out. Hmmm, something to think about.

5.Please dont take this the wrong way, but I didn't like how they constantly kept saying boyfriend. Like I get it, I know you are a couple, I want you to be couple, but it felt like the authors didn't think they would come across as a couple and kept on reminding us. This is one nitpick I have in this book.

Oh another nitpick. I wanted to see the other characters, like hazel and reyna and how did I forgot apollo. I need more apollo. I really wanted to see nico's reaction to reyna joining the hunters. Not much just a tiny reference, like when they were talking to gorgyra, like she also abandoned me, something like that.

And that's it. I can't think about any more cons.

TLDR: This book left me feeling like a proud mama who's watching her son grow up to be a hero. And that's exactly what I wanted. So, this book is a 10/10 for me. Cherished forever.

Read the beginning of tsats and i am loving it. Saw a lot of negative reviews for the book. Mainly about how ooc the characters are.

I am sorry but they didn't feel ooc to me at all. May I remind you that nico became the emo, brooding, traumatised character after bianca died. Before that he was a very enthusiastic, bubbly, kind, sassy child that told the minotaur to shove figurines up his a*s. Frankly I saw that nico coming back in tsats and i am loving it. He's healing and after what he has been through I want him to be as cheesy as a boyfriend as he wants to be. Almost the entire time i was just awwwing because they are so cute. And that's what my boy deserves.

About will. I think much of the problem with him is that his characterization have mainly been fan made. And in toa and other books we have been seeing him from others pov. This is the first time that we have been inside his head. And i find it relatable that someone that's described as chill will have such a Pessimisitic inside voice.

Also he's a child of apollo in the exact opposite of his domain. He's been battling death ever since he came to camp, of course he is going to be scared. And it's hell, they are in hell, it's going to effect their personalities.

The fact that will, despite being scared of death, was still able to give a healthy relationship to our nico and actually make him happy is a great credit to him.

I did find the humour cheesy. But i haven't completed the book. I have to wait till then. But up till now it's the nico story that i have been waiting for. And that's all that matters.

Did anyone get a pdf Or a tsats epub?

I want to read it so bad!!!! 🥲

will solace is sooooo fucked up but you guys arent ready for that conversation...

I wonder if they had an adorable confession
