If You Set Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever), Are You Progressing?I'm having a little trouble getting started on a pairing that just doesn't appeal much... (and I have three asks requesting it. *cries*) but I am determined to crack this.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? Here's a snippet from the ficlet, Talk Italian to Me:

The words were on the tip of Will's tongue, so beyond ready to come out and yet frozen by fear. He thought back over all the good times they'd had and a few of the bad. Nico hadn't had a real freakout in a very long time, and Will would be leaving himself. He didn't have much to lose and he had faith Nico wouldn't fall off the face of the Earth if he heard the truth, not like before.

He took another deep breath and let it out, then looked Nico in the eyes again. "I think I'm in love with you and I'm terrified you'll leave if I tell you."

Saying the words made Will feel like he just dropped about a hundred pounds he hadn't realized he'd been carrying. And Nico wasn't freaking out. He wasn't even acting all that surprised. "Non fare lo scemo. Sono pazzo di te," he said instead and closed the distance between them, brushing Will's lips with his.

Will held onto the back of Nico's head with one hand, his mind threatening to give out. He broke the kiss, barely, still close enough to pick it right back up and whispered: "What does that mean?"

"Don't be an idiot. I'm mad about you," Nico answered, and faster than a snake, slipped out of Will's grip, flipping their positions, and pushed him onto his back on the deck, then slotted himself on top and kissed him within an inch of his life.

When they broke apart, they rolled onto their sides facing each other. "I'm coming along … on the quest …" Nico said. "If you'll have me. I already volunteered and got Chiron's okay."

Will smirked and made a show of thinking about whether that would be acceptable or not. "I suppose you could come along, but you have to agree to talk to me in Italian at least once a day … and …" He continued over Nico's attempt at interrupting. "… and you have to translate what you say."

Nico smiled, showing his teeth. "Is that right?" He held up a hand and started ticking off his fingers. "I said you smell fantastic. That you make me want to be a better person. You make me want to sing. I love the way your hair glows in the sun and …" He swallowed, then kept going, "and that I love you."

Will Solace had no response to give. He melted into a puddle of mush and Nico took full advantage of his silence.
