Pre-AN: If you guys are interested in Disney crossovers with Percy Jackson, then I've got a story for you. Other than my Aladdin crossover, I've got a friend (Jade aka Reader4ever1) who wrote 'The Little Merman' on (same username). It's a great story and very well-written so go check it out if this is your kind of story. She's got some HOO stuff here on AO3 as well.

Calypso might have been cursed, but that didn't immediately absolve her of all she'd done. She had banished people left to right, cursing both Percy and Nico, blackmailing Grover, breaking Leo's heart, etc.

The demigods, nymph, satyr, and centaur in the room were all still a little bitter towards the queen, to say the least.

Hazel definitely wasn't happy about the situation. She even insisted on bringing Nico to the Big House to show Calypso what she'd done, Jason and Percy working to gently lay him down on a table, pushed towards one of the walls. And how were they going to show Calypso, one might ask? By Iris Message of course!

Apparently, Grover still retained the ability to use Iris Message, thanks to a special (magical) token Calypso had given him to ensure he was easy to communicate with.

Percy manipulated water from the refilled bucket that had been used on Leo earlier, and Chiron made sure sunlight was streaming in through the window to cast a rainbow on the wall straight across from Nico.

"O goddess, accept my offering," Grover, who had been freed of his chains for the time being, prayed softly as he tossed a drachma towards the water. The coin vanished as it made contact with the floating liquid. "Show me Calypso, Queen of Ogygia, daughter of Atlas."

Within a few seconds, Calypso's face, staring at them with a curious look in her eyes, appeared. Though her curious expression quickly shifted to one of annoyance.

"Ah, Grover. I take it you've informed your friends of our arrangement?"

Before Grover, or anyone else, could reply, there was a clunk in the background that drew Calypso's attention.

"What'd you drop now, Rachel?" Calypso asked dryly. Soon, Rachel's face appeared beside Calypso, looking out to the crowd gathered in the room. Her face dropped a little as she spotted Grover, who was no longer chained but still had a good bit of distance between himself and the others.

"Hi, Grover. And everyone…I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to tell her Nico was the fairest!" Rachel exclaimed, earning herself an eye-roll from the queen beside her. "I had no choice."

"We know, Rachel," Piper assured the girl, sending a glare towards Calypso. Leo came forward before she could say anything.

"Sunshine, we know what Apollo did. You just gotta tell us how to break the curse."

"I take it you're someone I banished? Remind me who he is," Calypso asked Rachel, barely sparing Leo a glance. His shoulders slumped, looking dejected. Jason patted his shoulder as Hazel took a step towards the wall, huffing indignantly.

"How dare you act like you don't even remember him?!"

"Pardon?" Calypso asked, looking at Rachel in confusion. "Do I know him?"

"You did, your highness," Rachel replied before she looked back at Hazel. "She doesn't seem to remember, or at least doesn't like to talk about, how she was before. Back when she was nice."

"I ought to throw you in my dungeon," Calypso muttered before glaring through the Iris Message. "Enough with this nonsense. I don't know nor do I care about what you demigods have to say. My deal with Grover is done, his beloved Juniper is safe, blah blah blah. If there is nothing else of importance you want to talk about, then I'm ending this call."

"Wait!" Jason exclaimed, all eyes drawing towards him. He ignored their questioning looks, trying to draw out the conversation to buy them time to figure out how to get Calypso to tell them how to break Nico and Percy's curses. Not that the son of Jupiter had any idea as to how they were gonna do that. "Don't you want to see how your curse panned out?"

Jason stepped aside, gesturing for his friends to do the same, allowing both Calypso and Rachel a better view of Nico, looking oh so still. Calypso's face turned dark, and Jason thought he could see her eyes tearing up before she cleared her throat, smirking haughtily

"Finally! I'm the fairest of them all, once and for all. No more competition!"

"Is that all you care about?!" Hazel screamed.

"You used to care about tending to your garden, and singing. Remember?" Leo asked desperately.

"Singing?" Calypso asked faintly, her face going blank, like she was in a trance. Kind of like when Piper Charmspeaked mortals. She stared off into the distance. Rachel frowned and waved her hand in front of the queen's face before poking her shoulder gently.

"Dunno what you just did, but it seems like she's out of it. For now, anyway.. Want me to knock her out and throw her in the dungeon before she comes to her senses?" Rachel asked. Some of the demigods shook their heads (not including Hazel, of course).

"We need to figure out how to break her curse first," Annabeth answered. Rachel stared at her with a weird expression, so Thalia once again explained the curse, summarizing it as best she could.

"Huh," Rachel looked dumbfounded by this knowledge. "As an Oracle, you'd think I'd know this."

"Well, it was done by Apollo. Maybe he made it to where you couldn't figure it out?" Frank suggested.

As everyone spoke, Leo noticed that the belt wrapped around Calypso's waist seemed to be glowing a vibrant shade of red. Percy seemed to realize this as well, pointing at it with one hand while maintaining the steady stream of water with his other.

Gasps could be heard as the symbol of the sun appeared on Calypso's left cheek.

"The belt! Get it off of her!" Leo cried out right as Calypso seemed to come out of her stupor.

"What- ?" Calypso wasn't able to finish her question as Rachel practically tackled the immortal, wrestling to get the belt off of her. "What in Hades are you doing?!"

"Saving you," Rachel screeched as she finally managed to pull the rope-like belt off, holding it away from Calypso. The Oracle pulled away from the other girl, watching as the sun symbol faded away.

Calypso's eyes grew cloudy before she fainted. Rachel rushed to catch her head before it smacked into the floor. She gently set Calypso down before glancing at the belt, which had stopped glowing.

"Well," Charon said after a good minute or two, "That was unexpectedly easy."

"Yeah…but how are we gonna wake Nico up now?" Juniper asked.

Rachel's head shot up and she gasped before scrambling to stand up. "Give me one minute!"

The group watched as she ran around the room before she grabbed a basket of books and potion bottles. She sat down beside the unconscious queen and pulled out a black book.

"She grabbed this from her secret room she thinks I don't know about," Rachel explained as she opened it enough for the others to read the title. 'Recipes to Die For'. "I saw her with this book while she had that scary smile on her face. I think this is where she got the spell for Nico's curse."

"Look for a sleeping spell," Grover suggested, shrinking back as a few glares were shot his way.

The redhead nodded as she took her thumb and used it to skim through the pages, glancing at the writing as the pages flew by until she abruptly stopped.

"Found it! I got a recipe for Sleeping Death," Rachel announced, glancing at Nico's body and how it seemed to barely be breathing. "Seems like it's the right curse."

"Is there a cure?" Hazel asked worriedly. Rachel grinned brightly as she nodded rapidly.

"True Love's Kiss. Hmm, Hazel, maybe you could- oh wait," Rachel narrowed her eyes as she read. "Nevermind, has to be a romantic type of True Love. Siblings can't undo the spell."

Percy, who had been ever so patiently maintaining the stream of water, nudged his girlfriend's shoulder to get her attention. He glanced at Rachel then at Annabeth again, the latter's eyes widening in realization.

"Rachel, is there anything in there about taking or, more importantly, giving back someone's voice?" Annabeth asked. Rachel paused to look at Percy before she glanced back down at the book.

"Hmm, lemme see…" Rachel flipped through the pages once more, landing on one. "Oh, did she trap a voice in a magic seashell and give him three days to kiss the girl?"

Crickets.

"Guess not," Rachel huffed. She scanned through the book again. "Only thing I'm seeing that involves voices is a Silencer Spell where you must…consult your local Oracle."

"Isn't that what we're doing right now?" Leo drawled. Rachel's face flushed.

"Technically, yes. But I really don't know how her magic works. I'll keep looking in her other spell books," Rachel said as she glanced around the room, looking like she was deciding on which book to try next.

"Thank you so much," Hazel told her before she glanced at her friends. "Guess all we have to do now is find Will to wake my brother up."

"Oh Will's already on his way," Rachel stated nonchalantly. "I'll call if I find the voice spell or if Calypso wakes up. Whichever happens first."

Then the Oracle reached up to swipe at the Iris Message, ending the call. Percy's shoulders slumped in relief as the water was sent back to the bucket.

"Good job, Percy," Grover smiled, though it didn't quite reach his eyes. Percy gave him a strained smile in return as Annabeth helped him sit down.

"I guess we just gotta wait for Will then," Jason said in an attempt to cover up the awkward exchange between the satyr and the son of Poseidon. He personally wasn't sure how he felt about Grover at the moment. The blond didn't know what he'd do if Piper was threatened like that, and he had to admit that Grover was just trying to save Juniper. In a messed up way that really hurt one of his friends.

Suffice to say, he felt conflicted. Just like everyone else did.

For now though, he'd keep quiet about his thoughts as he glanced at the door, silently wishing Will would show up any second now. Until then, they would all just have to wait.


Will nervously patted his pocket, where Nico's crumpled up letter rested. He glanced at Reyna, who was surveying the area that Blackjack had dropped them off at.

They had just passed this hill near a pine tree that had this weird gold fleece draped over one of its branches.

"Everything will be fine, Will," Reyna stated. Will jerked his head towards her as she began to walk. He followed behind her, glancing around at his new surroundings. This place was kinda nice.

"I know," Will said, though his pounding heart said otherwise. "I don't know why I'm so anxious."

"It's been 11 chapters awhile since you last saw Nico, of course you're nervous," Reyna replied with ease. She took a look at the other demigod and gave him a smile. "It's going to be fine."

"What if Calypso got to him?"

"Then we'll handle it. She can't kill him, anyway. He's a son of a God like the rest of us. She knows better than to incur the wrath of the gods," Reyna stated firmly, her smile wavering. She prayed that she was right and that Nico was still alive.

They were only able to walk for a brief period of time before the duo was stopped by a satyr with a…toddler satyr?

"Who are you?" The older satyr demanded, pulling out a baseball bat. Will held his hands up as a sign of peace.

"I'm Will, and this is Reyna. We're looking for Nico di Angelo," Will said, smiling to try and show the guy he meant no harm.

Gleeson lowered his bat, and Will didn't like the sad frown that formed on the satyr's face. He glanced down at the younger satyr.

"Chuck, go back to your mother. I'm gonna take these guys to the Big House," he looked back up at Reyna and Will. "My name's Coach Hedge. This is my boy, Chuck."

Reyna exchanged a look with Will, the latter unsure as to what was going through the dark-haired teen's mind. Then she stared at this 'Coach Hedge' before nodding at Chuck.

"Nice to meet you, Chuck," Will said as he waved at Chuck, who waved at him before walking away. "And thanks for your help, Coach Hedge."

The older satyr grunted before he turned around and started walking in a different direction than his son. Reyna and Will followed, ignoring various demigods, nymphs, and other satyrs they came across, all of whom stared at the newcomings with curiosity.

As they neared this large house, presumably the 'Big House', Will felt a wave of dread wash over him the closer that they got.

He wasn't sure why, after all, he should be ecstatic that he'd see Nico again. Yet all he felt was dread…

Coach Hedge opened the main door and led them to a room. Once the door opened, what Will and Reyna saw caught them off guard, to say the least.

A large centaur was conversing with a downtrodden satyr, a green nymph standing nearby. A dark-haired teenage boy (not Will's boyfriend, unfortunately) was writing something down on a notepad rapidly, a blonde haired girl sitting beside him, reading whatever he'd written down.

Everyone else was playing Uno on the floor.

"Let's make it green," a hispanic boy called out, sounding fairly bored as he set down a wild card.

"Uno!" Hazel called out as she put down a green 5. The demigods sitting around her groaned, though they were unheard by Will, who's eyes lit up as he saw the familiar girl. She glanced up and smiled at the blond. "Will!"

She set down her card (a draw four if anyone was curious) and stood up, hugging Will tightly, walking over other cards, drawing disgruntled groans from those still on the floor.

"I've missed you so much," Will whispered as he hugged back just as tight. Hazel sniffled as she nodded in agreement.

"I've missed you too. Glad you made it off the island," Hazel whispered back before she pulled away. "These are my friends."

Quick introductions were made while Will looked around, searching for his boyfriend. Reyna put a hand on his shoulder, an attempt at comfort that Will appreciated.

After introductions were done, Will finally asked Hazel where Nico was. Her grin faded and she glanced away before she pointed towards the corner, where a makeshift curtain stand had been put up to cover one side of the room. As Will got closer, his breathing faltered when he saw the outline of a table and a person laying on it.

The curtain was drawn back and Reyna gasped loudly while Will had to catch himself on the wall.

There was Nico, so beautiful even when he was sleeping. Gods, Will prayed he was just sleeping. His skin seemed even paler than when Will had last seen him, bags under his eyes present as always. His chest moved up and down, barely noticeable with how slow his breathing seemed to be. But at least he was breathing. He was alive. For now.

Will took a few deep breaths to get a grip on himself before going into Healer Mode. He checked Nico's pulse (so slow, why was it so slow?) before he brushed his hand against Nico's forehead. No fever.

"What's wrong with him?" Reyna asked. Before Will could reply, Hazel interjected.

"He's been cursed. Calypso sent Grover to give him enchanted food. It's called Sleeping Death."

Will had no idea who Grover was but that didn't matter. He had gotten there too late. The blond kneeled beside the table, clasping his hand over one of Nico's.

"How do we save him?" Will asked, tearing up. Hazel knelt down beside him and gave a soft smile.

"You gotta kiss him."

Will stared at Hazel like she'd grown a second head. A dark-haired girl with blue eyes, the one Hazel had introduced as Thalia, stood up and began to explain everything to Will. The story about Apollo and his part in this whole mess, how he could not help due to becoming mortal, the cause of Calypso's curse aka her belt that Rachel had taken off of the Titan's daughter, as well as how both Percy and Nico had been cursed. While Percy had yet to be uncursed, there was apparently an antidote.

'Dad, next time I see you, I've got a few things to say,' Will thought angrily. He knew his father most likely hadn't meant for things to go this far, but regardless, the God of the Sun was getting a stern talking to as soon as Will saw him again, mortal or not.

Will stared at Nico, his heart beating quickly as he thought about how Nico could wake up. True Love's Kiss…they might have just been teenagers but Nico was it for Will. And he knew Nico loved him. But was it True Love?

He was pulled out of his musings from Hazel clearing her throat. Will turned around, startled to see it was just the two of them along with Reyna.

"What are you waiting for?" Hazel asked impatiently. Will gulped.

"Well, I don't exactly have consent here. Are you sure this is okay?" Will bit his lip hesitantly as he looked between Hazel and Reyna.

"Given the circumstances, I think it's alright. I doubt it has to be on the mouth if that seems uncomfortable," Reyna reasoned. She smiled at Will before she turned to leave the room. "We'll give you two privacy. Right, Hazel?"

Hazel huffed but nodded her head in agreement. She turned to look at Will.

"It'll work. Just…bring my brother back, okay?"

Wow, no pressure there.

Hazel and Reyna left the room, leaving Will with his sleeping boyfriend. He figured that the kiss itself would work, yet Will wanted to make sure Nico was in tip-top shape when he woke up. So, like he always did with his patients in the medbay, Will began to sing.

Like most children of Apollo, he had a pretty nice singing voice if Will did say so himself. And his songs helped to heal all those he treated. Will sighed before he leaned against the table, looming over Nico.

[Will]: Nico Di Angelo, my heart is true

I close my eyes and I see you

Will smoothed Nico's hair away from his forehead, admiring the softness in his boyfriend's face. He looked so peaceful when he slept. Just like an angel.

From the moment we met, I knew

Nico Di Angelo, I will always find you

Everywhere I search I find

The sweet love you leave behind

The son of Apollo had no doubts that he would be reunited with Nico. Okay, maybe he had a few, but not because he didn't have faith in his boyfriend. However, Will knew as well as Nico did that Calypso had been unhinged for a while.

He wasn't surprised at the lengths she went to, especially once he heard about how his father was behind all of this. Poor Calypso was yet another victim to the Gods' whims.

Everytime I sleep

Your face is in my dream

Finally, Will brushed his lips against Nico's forehead, trying to pour as much love into the kiss. He pulled away, sighing softly.

Someday I will find you

Nico didn't move and Will felt like his heart was breaking into two as he scrunched his eyes closed. Was his love not enough? Was he not enough? Was he really not Nico's True Love-

"You missed."

Will's eyes flew open as he looked frantically at Nico, who's eyes were wide open, a dreamy smile on his face.

"Nico…" Will laughed in disbelief, tears in his eyes once more, only this time out of happiness. Then he processed Nico's words and smirked before pressing his lips against Nico's.

They stayed like that for a moment or two before Will pulled away. Nico attempted to sit up, and Will rushed to help. Nico stretched his arms and looked around the room.

"Where are we?" Nico asked curiously as Will rested his forehead against the paler demigod's head.

"In the Big House, or something like that. Gods Nico, I was so worried," Will admitted. Nico lifted his arms to wrap around Will, the latter of whom moved one of his arms behind Nico's back and the other under Nico's knees.

Will lifted up the Dark Prince with ease, and while Nico rolled his eyes as the bridal-style he was being held, the blush on his face revealed Nico's approval.

"I'm never letting you go," Will grinned. Nico pressed himself against Will's chest, despite his verbal complaints about not needing to be carried. "While I've got you here, I've got an important question for you."

"What is it?" Nico asked warily. Will chuckled softly.

"Will you be my buddy?"

"You're such a dork," Nico groaned at the cheesiness of his boyfriend's question, one he'd asked plenty of times back at Ogygia..

"Is that a yes?" Will teased. Nico laughed, reaching his hand to caress Will's face. Before they could lean in and kiss again (give them a break, it's been awhile since they've seen one another) someone opened the door.

"If he's awake then we can finally go to Ogygia and see- er, deal with Calypso," Leo walked in, his eyes covered. "As long as you guys are decent."

Will's blush rivaled Nico's, the latter of whom made a vow to get revenge on the son of Hephestaus as soon as possible. Hazel rushed past Leo, tears in her eyes as she saw Nico.

"You're awake!" Hazel squealed as she hugged Nico as best she could while Will held him. "I was so worried."

"Sorry to have worried you, sis," Nico apologized as he ruffled her hair. "I'm okay."

"Good, 'cause we gots to go!" Leo announced. "Calypso's curse is broken and we gotta check on her."

Nico glanced up at Will in confusion, who looked oddly guilty.

"My dad may or may not have cursed Calypso and that's why she's been acting crazy," Will said sheepishly. If anything, that just confused Nico even more.

"I'm not explaining it again! It's someone else's turn," A girl called out from outside of the room, who Nico would later be told was Jason's sister, Thalia.

Nico sighed. He almost wished he could go back to sleep, because being awake was getting more confusing by the second.

After a long-winded explanation courtesy of Jason, Nico chose to ignore the tumbled mess of emotions about the whole situation as the group talked about returning to Ogygia to see what was happening with Calypso now that the curse was over.

Percy needed to be released from his own curse, and people needed to be informed that it was safe to return to Ogygia.

Leo said Festus could turn into this giant ship, the Argo 2, and it would take the Big 7, along with Nico, Will, Reyna, and a reluctant Grover to the island.

Nico couldn't really blame Grover, as much as he might want to. He understood doing things you didn't want to so you could keep the people you care about safe. It sucked, and he wasn't happy that because of Grover, he'd made the people who care about him worry. But Grover didn't seem to have much of a choice.

Either way, Nico didn't want to hold a grudge against the satyr. Hazel didn't seem to have that mindset based on the glares she kept shooting the poor guy.

"Let's make sure everyone is here," Annabeth said once everybody was on the ship, consulting a notepad. "Frank?"

"Here!" Frank called. Nico couldn't believe they were taking roll call right now, but if it meant they could leave sooner, he wouldn't question it.

"Piper?"

"Obviously here."

"I'm just trying to make sure we're all onboard. Hazel?"

"Present!"

"Leo?"

"Here and ready to fly the ship."


"Percy? Okay, you're here," Annabeth muttered once she spotted her boyfriend before going over the rest of her list. "Will's here, Nico's glued between him and Hazel, Reyna, Juniper, um, Grover. Okay, that's everyone."

"Uh, I think we're forgetting someone," Nico raised his hand and pointed over the edge of the boat. Annabeth peered over and winced.

"Oh, Jason, there you are."

"Did you forget about me?!" Jason asked once he was onboard, looking completely flabbergasted.

Silence.

"No?" Hazel didn't sound very sure of herself. Jason glared at everyone before stomping over towards Piper, who smiled sheepishly at her boyfriend.

"Unbelievable."

Once Jason had been placated, the Argo 2 took off, headed towards Ogygia. Towards home.


Here's Nico's Letter:

Dear Will,

I'll try to keep this brief. Reyna was ordered to kill me, but she didn't. She's helping me escape. Calypso is really losing it, so I need to leave.

Wish I could tell you goodbye in person. There's so much to say. I don't want to sound like a sap (like you) but I can't wait to see you again. We have to part for now but someday, we'll be together again.

Someday, we'll be happy and free forever. Remember when you promised me that? Well now I'm promising it too. We'll get our chance to be happy.

I'll find my sister and I'll come up with a way to stop Calypso. Until then, try not to draw attention to yourself.

Don't die. Stay safe. Please.

Yours, Nico

P.S. I love you. So much.


AN: Sorry it's been forever, life is life and gets in the way.

I found these lyrics for a 'Someday Reprise' on and I liked it better than just the 'One Song' repeat that the Prince did in the movie. So this is what we got instead.

Please leave a comment if you know the significance of the birds, including Poe, Calypso's "gift" from chapter 10 'The Bearer of Bad News (Poor Rachel)'.

Also…

DID Y'ALL NOTICE WHEN WATCHING SNOW WHITE THAT SHE DIDN'T GIVE SLEEPY A KISS GOODBYE?!

While writing this fic, I re-watched the Snow White movie so many times and took notes to try and incorporate as much of Disney's plot into the story while putting my own HOO spin on it. When I was taking said notes on the goodbye scene I saw that every dwarf was kissed…except my man Sleepy! (Hence why Jason was forgotten near the end).

Apparently, the animator Frank Thomas was rushed to finish this last scene and didn't remember poor Sleepy. #JusticeForSleepy

My poor friend Reader4ever1 (who I mentioned at the beginning of this chapter) not only helped me with grammar and plot inconsistencies, but also had to listen to a whole rant about Sleepy being left out while I furiously Googled why.

- Kitkat Out!
