Nico uses a Hot Topic gift card he got for his birthday. Will comes with him and they look at all the nerdy and emo stuff there. Somehow, they each end up with a new piercing. Retcon Solangelo/Retcon Trials of Apollo/Retcon The Sun and The Star/Retcon Jason's death (he ain't dead)/Retcon Nico's really weird and incorrect timeline (thanks rick) Written with emonemo on AO3- So if you prefer reading there, it's on their account under the same name. This is technically a standalone story, but we are retconning all of Solangelo, and this work is: Work 5 in that series. All stories will stand alone on their own, but can be read one after another.
