Nico di Angelo and Percy Jackson NEVER got along after the whole Bianca fiasco. Soon enough, Percy had decided he had put up with enough of Nico's bull, and was just as mean towards the boy, trying to not some sense in his head (in a stupid, seaweed brain way, and failing). When Nico turns 17, he's a shell of who he used to be, all the emotions completely destroying and eating away at him. He comes back to Camp in the winter, hoping for anything that could be his salvation. Little did he know, the thing that saves could, is the thing that caused his demons.
He truly is the king of shadows, letting them kill him, then letting them let him live.

Trigger warnings: severe depression, maybe some anxiety, and other touchy topics. Not for young ages (16+???).
