Nico: I wish I could get off of this, but I am too addicted.
Will: What is it?
Nico: A website on the many ways to kill a human being.
Solangelo Be Like :-
Expectation: Will: OMG, Nico get Sleep and Eat something. Doctor's Orders. Reality: Nico, Forcing Will down: You better Eat that Ambrosia before I shove it Down your Throat. Oh, and also you look like a Fucking Panda
So Will Solace is not my wheelhouse typically, and I have to assume somebody’s already had this thought because it’s so obvious, but I haven’t seen anything so I’ll put it out there -
What about a Tangled AU with Will as Rapunzel? Maybe not with super long hair - but hear me out.
A drop of sunlight fell to earth? Made a magic flower with healing powers, and that made a baby with the same healing powers? Apollo is the sun and Will is his little drop of sunshine on Earth, and he can totally heal people. His dad is the god of medicine too! And the magic healing flower was activated by singing a special song? I get Will isn’t much of a singer (but his mom is) - but if Apollo was going to password protect his magic son, he’d totally do it with a musical code.
It fits too well to not be a thing, surely?
You can have Nico as Flynn: he’s a traveller, he’s a tragic orphan loner, he dreamt of being a hero when he grew up just like the stories he loved, and he started as a charismatic little extrovert so he can pull it off, and he’s definitely got Flynn’s sarcastic sass. Or maybe Percy, cause I’m seeing Percy x Will on the rise lately, and Percy’s definitely capable of pulling off a dashing Flynn, and again, the humour matches.
Mother Gothel, honestly don’t know if there’s an obvious villain. Could be Kronos? Could be one of the Emperors, maybe Caligula cause he fancied himself the new Apollo and was a little obsessed with that idea? And the Triumvirate made themselves young and immortal by practically becoming gods, but either scrap that and it’s flower power, or the Triumvirate were defeated pre-story and Caligula’s been consisting off of the magic flower since to stay young and alive. He’s not gonna give up an actual child of Apollo/child infused with Apollo’s gifts just because they turned his magic flower into soup. He’d be obsessed with an actual descendant. Or maybe dark!Nico in his Hades era, stealing away a little sunlight for himself to covet in his dark little tower the same way some versions have Hades stealing Persephone and trapping her with him in the Underworld? Whatever floats your boat really. Though I think I’m digging Caligula personally.
Yeah, word vomit, but it just makes sense to me.

Will decided to play capture the flag, but is put against Nico. He decides to break the rules to see his boyfriend during the games.
The one time Will decides to participate in capture the flag, he and Nico are put on different teams. Of course, they would never go out of their way to hurt each other, but Nico was competitive and willing to go against his boyfriend if it meant helping his team. Will, on the other hand, just wanted everyone to be safe.
Before the games started, the two teams were lined up face to face so Chiron and Mr. D could go over some ground rules: No killing and no leaving camp borders. It was also general knowledge not to work against your own team. Anyone caught cheating or planning with the enemy was disqualified. Everything else was fair game.
Lined up to face the other team, Nico was on the left side of Percy, shoulder to shoulder with the armored team captain. Will was farther down his lineup, but his eyes were locked on Nico. No, his eyes weren’t on Nico, they were on Percy.
Was that jealousy on his face? Nico wasn’t sure his boyfriend was the jealous type, but he saw Will’s expression harden as his eyes made their way down to where Nico’s shoulder was touching Percy’s shoulder. Nico would’ve moved, but his line was so packed with campers, he couldn’t really go anywhere. Nico tried to speak with his eyes once Will’s finally found them.
What’s wrong?
Will smiled and shook his head. Nothing.
His smile warmed Nico, like it always did, but something else was there. His boyfriend was very aware of the crush he used to have on Percy Jackson, but he was also very aware of how far gone that crush was. Obviously it was silly for him to like Percy at such a young age, and his type in men had changed drastically since then. Nico felt bad that Will was worried about something like this, but really couldn’t get out of this position.
Their eyes locked again, both of them completely ignoring Chiron.
I miss you.
I miss you more.
Then, Will’s cheeks turned red with color and his eyes quickly averted Nico’s gaze. He immediately missed their silent conversation. It was crazy how much Nico yearned for any bit of Will’s attention. It was almost embarrassing.
As Nico pouted and Will’s head was kept down, Chiron blew a horn that made both of them jump. Immediately, campers ran to their respective meeting points and huddled up. Right before Nico and Will were lost in the crowd, Will shot him one last quick look.
Come find me.
Nico blushed. He knew that team members weren’t allowed to work together in any way, and he wasn’t used to his boyfriend wanting to break the rules, so this was exciting. Quickly, Nico made his way into his team huddle. Percy was talking fast but direct, as if he’d done this a million times (which he had). Then, his sea green eyes locked on Nico, and he smiled.
“You know what to do, shadow man.” Percy smiled a genuine smile.
“Don’t call me that.” Nico smiled back sarcastically and gave an enthusiastic thumbs up. Percy gave one right back.
The few times he had participated in this event, his job was always to shadow travel through the forest to get any information of the other team and where their flag might be. Fortunately, this gave Nico more than enough time to find Will and have no one wonder where he went. When the team broke off to hide the flag, Nico fled into the shadows.
Finding Will was hard. Nico travelled through the shadows of the trees, but the places he thought to look were all in the sunlight. The irony made Nico laugh— how a boy made of shadows fell for a boy made of light. The thought distracted Nico as he shadow travelled head first into another tree.
“Shit,” He cursed under his breath and grabbed his throbbing head.
“Gods, you move so fast, you have to be careful,” A familiar voice came up from behind him and his eyes took a moment to focus as he turned.
“Oh,” Nico was face to face with Will, who was in the darkest part of the forest. “I found you.”
Nico must have looked very lost and confused, because Will just laughed and nodded.
“Took you long enough. I was starting to get worried my teammates attacked you or something.” Will had his hand on Nico’s hand, still on his head. Nico wasn’t sure if he was using his healing powers, but he already felt better.
“Yea, sorry, I was…” Confused about your sudden urge to break the rules, Nico wanted to say. “Just looking for you in the light. I didn’t expect you to be here.”
Around them, the trees went so high up they tangled into each other, creating a canopy of leaves. The sun was completely blocked out except for a few spots here and there. Nico wasn’t sure if it was because of the lack of natural light or because he was anxious about getting caught, but Will looked very pale.
“Well, I know they send you into the shadows to hunt out the other team, so I came here,” Will’s voice got softer. “I just needed to see you.”
Nico smiled, but Will was dead serious, his eyes piercing into Nico’s. It made his heart thump out of his chest so fast, he was sure everyone could hear it and catch the two enemies mingling. He blushed and tried to calm himself.
“Will,” Nico started, smiling through his words. “We could get in serious trouble if we get caught. You know that, right?”
For a moment, Will’s face filled with anxiety, running through every possible punishment they could receive if Chiron or Mr. D or their teammates found them. Then, his face softened and he smiled.
“I don’t care,” His hand was now on Nico’s neck, warm and gentle. “I want to make sure you’re okay. I needed to see you.”
“I would have been fine,” Nico shrugged off the statement. “I rarely see any action on the playing field because I’m always moving. I was actually planning on just following you to make sure you were okay.”
“I know you can handle yourself, I just worry,” Will flicked his eyes to Nico’s lips, just for a second. “And I missed you.”
Now, the two were closer than before, hands on each other and faces so close, their breathing intertwined. Nico’s stomach churned as his heart sped up again. Even in the dark, his boyfriend looked beautiful.
“Will,” Nico smiled. “We’re breaking the rules big time right now.”
“I know.” Will looked sick to his stomach, but his eyes were now locked on Nico’s lips.
“If you kiss me, we’ll be double breaking the rules.” Nico couldn’t help but tease his boyfriend, it was too easy.
“I know.” Will swallowed hard, as if he was keeping down his doubts.
Nico’s eyes fell on Will’s lips as he pressed into them. His hands gripped at his boyfriends arms and around his neck, lacing his fingers into his curly hair. Will’s hand was still on Nico’s neck, the other on his waist, pulling him closer into the kiss. A soft breeze blew through the trees and the rustling leaves made Will tense for a moment until his body relaxed again against Nico as they fell into a rhythm.
Will’s hand wandered down his boyfriend’s chest, which made Nico smile into the kiss. Since Nico was used solely as a silent hunter in the games, he never wore armor— it was too heavy to wear while shadow traveling and he never fought anyone anyway, so Will’s hand found it’s way under Nico’s shirt. The direct contact sent electricity through their bodies. The excitement from the intimacy and the nervous adrenaline from sneaking off created a tension between the two that was addicting.
Nico was strong. His body looked skinny and boyish, but his muscles said otherwise. He didn’t look buff at all, but Will could feel every muscle in Nico’s body tense just from his touch. He gently traced the line of his abs from his collarbone down to the hem of his pants. Will’s entire body felt hot as Nico choked back a gasp against their kiss and pressed closer to his boyfriend.
Will tugged lightly on Nico’s jeans, but he knew it wasn’t asking permission or initiating anything, just teasing. Still, Nico’s mouth got weaker every time Will’s fingers traced his lower abdomen, begging silently. Will smiled and pulled away, and Nico’s eyes immediately pleaded for him to come back. Instantly, his lips were on Nico’s neck.
The sensation felt too good— their hands all over each other, the gentle intimacy, the warmth shared between them. Will slipped his tongue out on to Nico’s skin when he quickly pushed away, turning his head to look behind him.
“What?” For a moment, Will was scared he had gone too far, but Nico looked scared, not uncomfortable. “What’s wrong?”
Nico’s head was turned for so long, it started to make Will anxious.
“Nico, what happened—“
“Shh.” Nico’s hand found Will’s shoulder and he squeezed it, giving him a silent apology for shushing him.
Nothing happened. Will hadn’t heard or seen anything but trees for miles behind Nico. Then, his head whipped back so fast it made Will jump, and his hand squeezed tighter on his arm.
“Your flag,” Nico’s eyes were now filled with a completely different kind of adrenaline— competitiveness. “Your flag is right there, behind those rocks.”
Sure enough, when Will looked again and the wind blew through the trees, he could see his team’s flag waving between a pile of boulders. Then, his eyes focused on his teammates surrounding it. The small area was surrounded by sunlight, which means they must’ve known Nico was using the shadows to travel.
“I heard something moving, it sounded like metal, I knew it had to be campers,” Nico was talking to Will, shooting his thoughts at him as if he were his own teammate. “If I can find a place close by those rocks within the shadows maybe I can—“
Their eyes locked as both of them remembered they were not supposed to be working together at all. Nico’s hand covered his mouth and his eyes went wide. Will smiled.
Quicker than their moment had ended, chaos struck the couple. Will’s hands reached out to grab Nico, but he was already gone. He broke into full sprint toward his teammates at the rocks to warn them as Nico reappeared right in front of Percy, who’d almost slashed him with his sword.
“Nico!” Percy lowered his sword. “That scares me every time—“
“The other team’s flag is between some rocks in the dark part of the forest,” Nico was out of breath but trying to point to where he had come from. “Not Zeus’ fist, different rocks. Different— it’s different rocks.”
“Okay, I get it, different rocks,” Percy did not seem to care about which rocks they were, he just started running in the direction Nico was pointing. “Just take us there!”
While Nico and his team were on the way, Will had already warned his team about the ambush.
“How did he find us?” Connor asked, getting impatient with Will’s very choppy story.
“Well,” He scratched his head. Will was not a good liar. “He must have, I don’t know, seen it from afar?”
“We picked a spot with sunlight for a reason. And what were you doing wandering around? You were on defense.” Connor’s face was never serious, but he had looked like he wanted to punch Will in the arm for disobeying his orders.
“Listen, I’m sorry, but Nico is meant to be a spy. He could be anywhere! All I know is that the other team is headed this way right now—“
As if on cue, a group of campers ambushed the flag site, Percy at the head of the group. Will’s eyes desperately searched for Nico, but he was no where to be seen. Then, all around him, a battle broke out. Enemy campers fought in hand to hand combat with Will’s teammates, while others tried to climb their way up and around the rocks. Will scurried around, trying to find his boyfriend.
Will was watching Percy fight Connor alone, captain against captain, when someone grabbed his arm and pulled him away from the chaos.
“Will!” Nico whispered, hidden in the darkness.
“Nico,” Momentarily, Will was happy to see him, then his body swelled with anger. “What the hell is your problem? You set me up!”
“I set you up?” Nico’s expression changed from a warm smile to a cold frown. “You’re the one who asked to see me! You led me right to your flag!”
“Well you ran off to tell your team!”
“I want to win!” Nico wasn’t whispering anymore, but the noise of the fighting behind them drowned out their conversation.
“I want to win, too!” Will was angry, but he felt disappointed. This was his first time playing in the games and he had messed it up. Nico saw the worry on his face and his eyes softened.
“I’m sorry for running so quickly,” Nico spoke over the battle. “If it makes you feel better, they were heading in the right direction already. Even if I hadn’t told them, they would’ve found it eventually.”
Will knew Nico was just telling him that to make him feel better, but it worked. He could never stay mad at that face when those big, dark eyes looked at him. Will wanted to melt into him on the spot, but was snapped back into reality when he heard a prideful yell come from behind.
When they both turned, they saw Percy with the flag in his hands, running at full speed away from the rocks. It was probably adrenaline making him run that fast, because no one was chasing him— they had all been tired or injured from the battle beforehand. Will sighed.
“Hey,” Nico turned toward Will, who was watching his team lose the game. “Percy always gets the flag. It’s, like, totally unfair at this point. It wasn’t your fault.”
Will laughed. “Yea, I don’t know why they let him play when he has such an experience advantage.”
When Will looked back at where his flag had been, campers were bleeding, bruised, and completely passed out.
“I should probably go do what I’m best at,” Will gestured toward the post-battle injuries, then cracked his knuckles. “You gonna go celebrate with your team?”
“Maybe later,” Nico smiled watching his boyfriend fall back into a comfortable routine. “I’d rather help you for right now, like old times.”
“Old times?” Will raised an eyebrow at Nico who laughed at himself. “You helped me in the infirmary, like, a week ago.”
They laughed and talked, walking into the sunlight where the campers all were. Chiron had come down to pick up one camper who had been seriously injured and needed to be treated at the infirmary with more supplies, leaving about five others to be treated by Will and one other child of Apollo.
Nico watched as Will’s hands worked quickly and his skin glowed in the sun, the way it usually did when he healed people. He couldn’t help but blush. Will looked so confident and sure of himself as he talked campers through the pain or simply touched a bruise to make it go away. He and Nico talked about how he would probably never participate in the games in the future other than healing, and Nico laughed.
“That’s it?” Nico said. “Just one and you’re done?”
“Yea,” Will smiled. “I didn’t even do anything except heal the injured, I don’t know why I thought I could fight.”
“Well, you did do something.”
Will blushed and avoided Nico’s gaze. The camper they were healing cleared their throat, trying to break the silence which made Nico laugh again.
“You keep healing and I’ll be right there with you,” Nico smirked. “Since you can’t spend a moment apart from me.
“Will you stop?” Will shook his head at Nico’s laughter and his face was hot.
After talking to each other about anything and everything, and finishing up the last of injuries, the two headed back to camp where Nico was met with congratulations and a feast. Percy was already crowned and hugged and had a huge lipstick stain on his cheek (from who, he didn’t know. Annabeth never wore lipstick). After cutting through the crowd and saying a million “thank you’s”, Percy pulled Nico aside.
“Hey,” He whispered, but the dining hall was so loud, he could’ve yelled and he wouldn’t have been heard. “I really appreciate you on our team. It would’ve taken us forever to find the flag, so thank you.”
Nico wasn’t sure why he specifically was getting praised, but he didn’t hate it.
“Yea, it was no problem,” Nico thought about why he had found the flag in the first place and stumbled on his words. “I just— I found it when I—“
“I know, Nico,” Percy grabbed him by the shoulders and smiled proudly. Nico blushed. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell.”
Percy winked and hit Nico on the arm, like a father saying Atta boy! when his son gets a hot date. Then, Percy was off and got lost again in the crowd of people. Nico was so flustered from what had just happened that he didn’t see Will come up beside him.
“What was that about?” His voice snapped Nico back into the moment.
“Nothing important,” Nico tried not to sound suspicious, because there was nothing to be suspicious about. “He just wanted to thank me for helping them find the flag is all.”
“Oh,” Will smiled. “Well, I guess you were the hero today, not Percy.”
“Oh, I wouldn’t say that!” Nico rolled his eyes.
They both laughed and Will interlocked his fingers with Nico’s. They pushed through the campers to a table filled with all of the food you could imagine, and then some. The table quickly filled up with friends and other campers wanting to hear what had happened on the playing field— who found the flag, who drew first blood, who chickened out a ran. Of course, Will made it out to be all Nico’s heroic plan. Whenever he tried to cut in to say something different, Will just led it back to Nico. In the middle of an outrageous story, their eyes met and Will’s hand gave two squeezes on Nico’s leg under the table— a silent encouragement. They both smiled before returning to telling the story of how Nico won the game all by himself.
