I Live! I have returned, and this time I would like to set some boundaries. There is ZERO tolerance for harassing me or anyone else enjoying my fics. Criticism is appreciated, but I won't let bullying happen again on my page. Thank you!

I will take requests on pairings and scenarios, but if I don't feel comfortable writing it I won't. I don't do smut. This fic in particular is a collection of one shots (probably mainly Solangelo) from PJO (and the other series) characters. Feel free to offer suggestions and make requests. Hopefully, I'll get around to it!

Does contain spanking (within a relationship). Not your thing, that's ok. There are other fics :) Hope you enjoy!

When Nico and Will started dating, this was not how he expected things to turn out. Other than Bianca, Nico never got used to the idea that other people cared for him. Hence why he shut everyone out and scared off anyone who dared look in his direction. Was it a lonely life? Yeah. But at least he didn't have the fear of being rejected or losing someone like his mother or sister.

But a lot had changed since his younger years. Although Bianca could never be replaced, he found a sister in Hazel, another child of Hades. Unlike him, she hadn't been in the lotus hotel, never aging as decades passed. She had died not long before he was born, and managed to help her get a second chance at life. He mended his friendship with Percy and found friends in the others. Especially Jason, who somehow managed to understand him on a level the others didn't.

Then there was Will. Stupid, beautiful, William. Fucking. Solace. Somehow he managed to sneak his way into Nico's heart tearing down his walls. He was dangerous. Nico never should have let him have so much power over him, but he had fallen hard for Will. To make matters worse, Will was literally the son of the sun god, Apollo. He supposed the saying about opposites attracting was a valid quote. Or as Piper put it, "Black cat meets sunshine energy", which he supposed was true as well.

Despite the fact that he and Will ended up arguing a lot, it was never in malice or ill intended. Most fights were Will getting upset that Nico wasn't taking care of himself like he should. Not eating, drinking, or sleeping enough. Or shadow traveling even after being warned it was too dangerous to do so. And being Nico, he never listened. Well… half the time. Will managed to talk him into or out of things more often than Nico's pride could admit.

Regardless, Nico had to admit that he was absolutely enamored by the sunshine boy. His golden locks glistening in the sun, his crystal blue eyes, adorable freckles scattering his skin, and the contagious smile that drew him in like a siren. Not to mention he was the kindest, most caring person Nico had ever met. It continued to amaze him that Will seemed just as in love as he was. But Will was much better at showing his affection and passion.

All that said, Nico quickly found how scary Will could be when pushed enough. Of course Will had been mad at him before. They had a lot of loud fights, but this was different. Will was genuinely upset with him.

He expected his boyfriend to yell at him after shadow traveling so long distance and without it being an emergency. Afterall, he did accidentally pass out immediately. He woke up within an hour, which wasn't nearly so bad considering he could get knocked out for days at a time. But Will didn't seem to see this as a feat.

"I can't believe you did that!" Will huffed for the upteenth time that day. Frankly, it was starting to get annoying.

"I can't believe you won't drop it," Nico growled.

Will turned in his chair, facing him. "Listen, I get you want to get better at using your powers, but your body is not strong enough to handle that big of distance! Had you been running from monsters, it would be a different story. No, you just did it because you were bored. Is giving me a heart attack amusing to you?"

Nico snorted. He was used to Will being dramatic, but usually he would have dropped the subject within the first couple hours after giving out a harsh scolding. Once it was off his chest, he'd simmer down. But the entire day had been nothing but scolding and nagging. It wasn't getting annoying, it was annoying.

"Would you just stop it!" He snapped. "You're driving me insane right now."

"I'm driving you insane?" Will's voice grew louder. If anyone was anywhere near the infirmary, they definitely heard him. "Oh, excuse me for being upset that my boyfriend doesn't seem to care or understand that he's self-destructing! Am I just supposed to pat you on your back and tell you to have a nice fucking day?"

Nico winced. He immediately realized he made an error of desculating the situation. He let out a heavy sigh. "Look. I'm sorry. I told you that already, but I did what I did. No matter how much you yell, it's not changing what is already done."

Will crossed his arms as he leaned back in his chair. He was tapping his foot against the wooden floor, a habit he had when feeling anxious or upset. "You said that before, but you keep doing it."

His voice had gone quiet, almost breaking. All of Nico's frustration deflated as a pang of guilt tugged at his heart. His boyfriend was right. Will had every right to be this upset with him. He technically broke a promise.

"Will…"

"But you're right," Will cut him off. "I can't change what you already did. And yelling at you before didn't stop you this time either."

Nico didn't know how to respond to that. Why did he have to be so stubborn? Will only had his best interest in mind. So what if he was nagging. Nico scared him. He didn't deserve Will and he was taking his boyfriend's cautions for granted.

"You know what?" Will stood up. "I'm not putting up with this anymore."

Panic erupted in Nico's chest. Was he breaking up with him? But he couldn't bear that. Nico couldn't lose Will. He would not lose him. He stood up from his seat on the bed.

"Will, wait-" his plea was cut short.

"Zip it Di Angelo!" Will hissed.

Nico never shut up so fast in his life. If staying silent and listening to an hour of Will laying it on him, he would humbly accept it. He was willing to do literally anything to make it up to him.

Instead of yelling at him, Will suddenly grabbed by the upper arm and pulled him towards the bed. Nico just followed, not having time to process or react to what was happening. Will sat on the edge of the bed and pulled Nico down. He found himself draped across his boyfriend's knee at an angle, his chest resting on the bed and his lower hanging in the air. Will's arm was tightly wrapped around his torso, keeping him in place. Confusion swept through him. This was not what he had anticipated at all.

"Will, what are you…" Nico quickly put the pieces together. His usually deadly pale face burned a tomato red.

He had ended up over his mother's knees once or twice as a child. Once from wandering away from her and running into oncoming traffic. He didn't remember what the other time was for, but he had concluded he had done something stupid, putting himself in danger. Even then, it was really only a few swats, and he could barely call it a spanking. Just something to get his attention. If that's what Will was trying to establish, he certainly succeeded.

He turned head to look at his boyfriend. Will suddenly seemed to pause as if he was processing what he was doing. He seemed to be having second thoughts. Unless… was he waiting for permission?

Nico found the position to be a little awkward, and perhaps a little humiliating. It was certainly humbling. He was Nico Di Angelo, Son of Hades, Prince of Darkness, one of the most powerful demigods alive. The list went on. If he wanted to force himself out, he would. Hell, he could literally vanish by shadow traveling. But he didn't. If this is what it took to make it up to Will, then by Hades he was going to let Will do it and he wasn't going to argue about it.

"Will?"

"Shit…" the blond muttered.

The two just stayed there in silence for a moment. Eventually, Will seemed to take the hint that Nico was allowing him to continue.The first smack made Nico jolt. It was met with another prolonged silence. It hurt a little but it wasn't so bad. After all, he still had his tight black jeans on, offering some padding from the impact.

Three more smacks landed on Nico's backside. He could feel the pace starting to pick up as Will grew more confident in his swings. The slaps started to hurt more too. It started to become a steady rain of spanks, and Nico gritted his teeth, bearing the stinging sensation on his bottom.

The spanks suddenly stopped. "Nico…" Will began. His tone didn't sound angry like before, but Nico somehow understood what he was trying to ask. Without a word, he shifted and unbuttoned his jeans, letting them and his undergarments rest on his knees. He set his body back in position to let Will presume.

Nico let out a hiss as he felt Will's palm smack against his skin. Without the layers of protection, the intensity of the sting multiplied. It also made fast, loud, slapping noises that echoed off the walls. He squirmed a little but did his best to remain as still as possible. One spank landed harder than the others, making him help.

"Was that too hard?" Will apologized, immediately stopping.

Nico buried his face in the bed, his heart still beating rapidly in his ears. Nico knew he deserved far worse, yet Will was still worried about him, even though he knew his boyfriend was still furious with him.

"I'm fine," Nico whispered, assuring him.

Will tentatively released him. He fell back on the bed, laying on his side, facing Nico. He reached out and gently pushed Nico's hair out of his face. Nico looked at him, his right cheek resting against the sheets on the mattress.

"Are we good?" Will asked quietly.

Nico grabbed his boyfriend's hand, squeezing it. The two pushed themselves closer, closing the gap between them. Their lips pressed against each other while Will pulled him into an embrace.

Their lips parted and Will pressed his forehead against Nico's. "I just want you to understand that I can't lose you, Nico… I could never forgive myself if something were to happen to you…Please… before you do something reckless, think of me."

Nico understood that. He felt the same way about Will. "For what it's worth, I am sorry. I know I haven't been showing it that much lately… But I'll try to be better," he promised. "For you."

"Thank you," Will whispered.

The two remained laying like that for a long time. Nico felt warm and relaxed. All the anger and fear of losing Will had all dispersed. He stared into his boyfriend's eyes. He was more than lucky to have him, and it wasn't fair to Will that Nico didn't think about how his actions could affect the boy so negatively. But he truly intended to stay true to his promise by trying to think about how other people felt when he intentionally caused himself harm.
