    Summary

    Nico knows that the worst part of falling, the most painful, the moment that requires every ounce of strength to survive and even then is unbearable, is the getting back up. It is pulling your limbs back together, ripping your fingers out of the webs of roots that have grown over you in the days, months, years you have spent laying on the ground, and hobbling back home on broken legs, memories carved into your skin.

    This particular plummet, he’s not quite there yet.

    He is locked inside a long-abandoned castle, every inch made of cold stone, frozen-over cobbles that had been worn down centuries ago. There are endless hallways to explore, endless spots to hide in, stories and stories of stairs to climb. But he cannot leave.

    And they always find him in the end, anyways.

    ——

    Or, the human mind can only take so much pain before it breaks. Even when that human is half-god.

    Summary

    Nico woke up, and he knew.

     

    The second he opened his eyes, he could sense the aura of darkness in him, the call of the Underworld growing with every passing second. His bones were heavy, and if he focused, he could see little bits of shadow curling off of his skin like smoke.

     

    He’d seen this before, on others, who usually didn’t understand what it was or didn’t even notice.

     

    But Nico knew exactly what was happening to him.

     

    Today was the day he would die.

    ——

    Or, Nico spends a day saying goodbye.

    Summary

    At some point he realizes it’s something he’s always done, from the first moment he met her at Hoover Dam. He uses Rachel’s mortality and the clarity of her sight as a shield from the world he lives in, from all the gods and monsters and prophesies that try to do him harm.

    Summary

    “I just don’t get it,” he huffs to Will as they put up holiday decorations in the unusually quiet infirmary, “they talk to me like I’m supposed to know stuff. Like I’m the new Percy or something.”

    Nico expects Will to laugh at this, shrug off his concerns as unfounded and tell him he’s being over-dramatic like usual.

    He is wrong.

    “Okay, babe, don’t take this the wrong way. But, you kind of are the new Percy.”

    ___
    Based on a tumblr post I made about Nico being the obvious choice as Camp Half-Blood's unofficial leader when Percy leaves for college. (only no one bothers to tell Nico that)
