Naomi Solace (Part 1 of Will Solace Head Canon)
I havenât read any headcanons about Willâs relationship with his mother Naomi, or about her life, basically we just know that she is/was an alt-country singer. But we didnât get any more details about her. So this is my tiny contribution to the fandom!
Naomi Solace grew up in a big citric farm in Texas, that also had a bed and breakfast, which belonged to her family for many generations. Since she was little she demonstrated a talent for music, learning to play the guitar at a very young age and for having a beautiful voice.
She began performing when she turned 10 years at the bed and breakfast for the costumers. She played both covers of famous songs and also her own music.
She was 19 years old while doing a small tour with her band in Texas, when she met Apollo at a bar in Austin. She had just signed a contract with a big Nashville label and her first single was a success, reaching number 4 in the top 25 alt-country charts. They didnât really have a relationship; it was just a series of very passionate hookups that lasted not longer than a few months, before Apollo had to go. She never resented him though, after all, she was also a free spirit.
She found out she was pregnant when she was already 2 months along.
She was so scared at first of being a single mom. Her family being very devoted Christians and even though they werenât closed minded, she knew they wouldnât take the news very well. She was also scared for her career, she was the opening act for a âvery famous country singerâ while they were touring the southern states.Â
She didnât tell her manager nor her family until she realized she could no longer hid her belly. That day she wrote a song called âItâs raining here in Georgiaâ about her fears and how she had to tell the truth.
Her parents definitely werenât happy, but supported her.
The company was very understanding though, and didnât cancel her contract. She continued opening for the âvery famous country singerâ until she was 6 months pregnant. Then moved to Nashville to work on her first album.
She went back to her parentsâ farm in Texas to rest for her final month of pregnancy. She wrote more than 10 songs that month about her situation.Â
Will was born on December 21th (I read @cyansonataâs headcanon that Will was born on this day, the shortest day of the year and the first day of winter and that his mother always told him that it was because the world and her life needed more sunshine, and I loved it!).
When she first saw him, she swore he was glowing, but later dismissed it as the medications making her seeing things. She wrote a song called âMy little bit of sunshineâ the next week that was included on her second album about how happy she was with her baby boy. She never told anybody but Will the real story behind the name.Â
She named him William after her father, though his name was Wilfred, but now way she was naming her son that!Â
Will was the cutest baby, with his very big sky blue eyes and blond hair. All her band mates love to carry the cute baby all the time and everywhere she went she had people complimenting her baby.
Most of the time she and Will lived in her parents farm. She also had a small house in Nashville where she stayed when she was working on an album.
When Will was about to turn 1 year old he became very sick. Doctors didnât know what was wrong with him. They told her there was a big chance that he might die.Â
A few days later, while she was watching Will in the hospital, Apollo visited her as an intern. She didnât recognize him at first because he looked younger than when they were together. He explained who he really was and told her not to worry, that their child would be ok. And that their son was meant to do great things. He also told her about the dangers of being a demigod and that she might need to send Will to a special place for people like him so he could be safe. Before he left, he claimed him and he kissed Will and the baby started glowing (the only time Apollo used a different way of claiming) it was then, when Naomi knew that what she saw when Will was born, did actually happened. Apollo never came back again and Will never really met his father until the events of ToA.
She won her first CMA one year later.
She noticed that as Will grew older strange things happened around him, most of them good. Like dying plants suddenly became healthy again, then small animals, until people with minor illness told her how they felt better the minute they met Will. Or Will classmates claiming he could heal their small wounds by just touching them. She knew that the most powerful her son became the most he will be in danger and dreaded the day when she finally had to send her son away.
She loved sharing her love for music with her son. It seemed that he understood her passion better than anyone. She taught him to play guitar and the piano. They also sang together and even wrote silly songs. When she was on tour she would leave Will with her parents, or some times she would take him to Nashville with her.
It all changed when Will turned 6, he had been telling her for weeks about how he saw monsters hiding behind trees. She didnât want to believe it; she didnât want to have a reason to be apart from Will. Then one day a monster attacked them in the farm. She hit her head trying to escape and only remembered a bright light when she woke up.
She didnât tell her parents anything about the attack.
The next day she contacted the place Apollo told her about.
New Years Eve morning she received a letter telling her that someone would come to the farm and pick Will up as soon as possible.Â
Next day, during dinner she explained Will who his father was and that he could no longer stay with her, as it wouldnât be safe for him.Â
Two days later a teenaged girl, who was also a child of Apollo, arrived at her home and explained everything about Camp Half-Blood and how her son would be safe there. That same day, she took Will away.
It was very hard for her watching her son leave. Especially when she couldnât talk about it to anyone. To all the world Naomi Solaceâs son was accepted to a very exclusive music academy in New York.Â
She tried to focus on her career and eventually won two more CMAâs and a Grammy. But she missed her son very much. She didnât dare to take Will away from camp for very long periods of time. So going on short vacations became their thing, that, and weekly letters to keep updated.
Will came out to her when he was about 12 years old. She always suspected her son might be gay, but never forced him to come out. She even read about gay relationships and gay sex education to give him âthe talkâ, which she did a few weeks later.Â
Naomi knew her son had a crush on a boy named Nico, because Will wouldnât stop writing about him. Even if Will didnât realize it until much later. She felt very sorry for all the misfortune that the boy had to endured. She began sending Nico little gifts, like some clothes in dark colors.Â
She met Nico when she picked up Will for their Christmas vacations.Â
I wrote a lot more than what I originally planned. I feel that the last bit was a little rushed, but I had this on hold since the beginning of June and due school stuff I didnât have the time to edit it and post it, so I decided to just post it now that Iâm free. This is just one of a few headcanons I have for Naomi Solace. I hope yâall like it!
