Nico dies (not really) au

Bianca and Reyna beg him to come with them, but he can only say no a body needs a would and a soul needs a body, that's the difference between ghosts and souls, ghosts are untethered and free, souls are not.

His body rests under the earth stuck, in his fathers domain, but out of his reach. young, only 13 once again not allowed to grow

they sit with him sometimes, when they are free. they stares into his lovely, angelic face, when he'd been here with them in body they hadn't appreciated just how young and innocent he looked, how he would never age alive, but dead. how if he had been allowed to grow as normal he would have been 90, 100. or even just grow after the lotus casino, he would have been 20, but no he would be forever 12-13.

Bianca chose to remain young, he didn't another, one of his many sacrifices. Bianca was allowed to roam, to play , to be with friends, to be young and free. she lived the first part of her life as her brother's second mother and the rest free. Nico was stuck, with no-one to talk to, he was young but not free, stuck in that one spot, he spent the first part of his life free and the rest stagnant.

he sometimes begs to be taken to the underworld so he could rest, but he isn't dead

i want to see what happens next.

This. This is my new headcannon

Sometimes, it’s hard to interact with Nico. Even Hazel has to admit that. No, it’s not his father, no, it’s not how he chants the names of the dead, well at least not for Hazel, no. It’s how the souls cling on to him, like he is the anchor in the wild sea. When he laughs, sweet as nectar, it is like you can hear the joy of the spirits with him, as if they’ve heard that they can return just one more time, to apologize, to say their goodbyes, to say “it’s not your fault” and “I love you” When he sobs, you hear the wails of the souls in the Lethe, alone, forgotten. You can feel the pain of the tormented, the Acheron spilling from his mouth. His rage is unkempt, rage like the souls in Punishment, rage like Achilles who sits by the Styx, rage of the many souls who never got a life they truly lived. It’s not his fault. You know that. Hazel knows that. Everyone does. But when he speaks, and his voice mixes like wine with the voices of the ones you loved, the ones you cherished, you have to turn away. No wonder the boy stopped speaking. What torture would it be, to hear his sister when he spoke? Or his mother when he cried? How painful.

Bianca alive au

When people think Nico is creepy :

What do you mean he is creepy he is 12-13 barely a teenager!

look at this adorable face 'proceeds to aggressively squish Nico's face while Nico is blushing and looking embarrassed' how is he scary, and 'proceeds to baby talk Nico' look! he's so adorable ( even though 12 year old Nico is the same height as her, Bianca pretends Nico is still a tiny baby)

Hazel also joins in and fights against the seven, (in my au Hazel died at 14, and Nico revives her when he is 12, so there's a 2 yr age gap, and she is chronologically 4 years older than Nico, and 2 years older than Bianca) hazel is always talking about how adorable and kind Nico is

Just to add to this (but with the underworld kids)

Nico and Hazel's eyes change color according to which gem is nearest to them, or whatever their normal eye color is if there isn't one near (Bright, bright gold for hazel, and dark but multicolored eyes for Nico like a gemstone). But both of them naturally have sweet eyes, that are kind, but learned their scary stares

On the other hand, Bianca has the deepest darkest eyes (that don't change color) , this changed slightly after she became a hunter, but she and Nico both have intimidating stares (Bianca was born with it, but Nico learned it from her), while Hazel has a stunning wolf stare.

Nico di Angelo with the biggest doe eyes. Big, wide, adoring brown eyes. People can't help but fall in love when they see those eyes.

Will Solace with the most feline eyes. Pretty, upturned, cynically curious, blue eyes. People can't help but be uncomfortable when they see those eyes.

Nico di Angelo who had been stereotyped as unsettling and strange (he can be BUT) he has been looking out for and helping people nearly all his life.

Will Solace who has been stereotyped as unthinkingly optimistic and trusting (he can be BUT) he is curious, chooses his battles, and helps people through tough love and unconventional guidence.

note to self note to self, need to download

I want to write a book called “your character dies in the woods” that details all the pitfalls and dangers of being out on the road & in the wild for people without outdoors/wilderness experience bc I cannot keep reading narratives brush over life threatening conditions like nothing is happening.

I just read a book by one of my favorite authors whose plots are essentially airtight, but the MC was walking on a country road on a cold winter night and she was knocked down and fell into a drainage ditch covered in ice, broke through and got covered in icy mud and water.

Then she had a “miserable” 3 more miles to walk to the inn.

Babes she would not MAKE it to that inn.

That is so smart!

Nico

Nico's nickname is niccolo piccolo,
