Hey y'all! It's me, Rowan!
So, a long, long time ago-- we're talking, like, barely pre Age of Ultron-- I came up with this little fic idea. How about a crossover featuring everyone's favorite boi, Nico, whomst I hold near and dear to my heart? And ofc his bf Will. Because i'm love Solangelo.
I wrote it (well, most of it), and I published it, and I really loved it. Apparently, a lot've y'all loved it too, which warmed my big ole gay heart. But after a while I just... lost that spark. Which happens a lot, especially with me. Thing is, I did want to write it. I just... couldn't. It felt stale.
Years have passed since, like, 2015 when I first published. A lot has happened in the MCU (like... a lot. Anyone else not feel so good?). I've changed my opinions about a few characters. This Probably Had A Lot To Do With Why I Ran Out Of Juice For Writing This.
But then about a year ago, I started musing with the idea of rewriting NdA&tA. Re-reading it, I noticed a few plot holes, a few things that made me cringe, but also a few things I really love. Recently, I decided, "hey, fuck it, it's now or never".
So here's what's changed:
-I'm funnier now so my story is funnier (jkjk... kinda)
-Rachel doesn't go on the initial quest with Nico and Will. She feels a Prophecy coming and promptly IMs the bois.
-(spoilers ig but not too bad) Nico and Steve know each other for a reason that is not simply Steve saving Nico's scrawny ass from a fight way back in the late 30's
-Clintasha... will not be an explicit thing in this version. Sorry, guys. Clintasha is Very Valid but I just... don't really ship it anymore personally?? Mostly because I've started HC Nat as a lesbian (@ me projection much????). Writing explicit Clintasha was one of the barriers I had when I was trying to continue on with the original version. HOWEVER I will do my best to throw subtle hints at that, and if you wanna interpret anything as Clintasha GO ON AHEAD I ENCOURAGE YOU!
-the Prophecy has changed a little bit??? only in wording lol
-my weird self-insert is not a part of this version. It was cute then, but it is... how to say this... not my style anymore
Here's what's the same:
-the general plot outline lmao sorry don't wanna say too much in case people are hopping on this version now
-There's Solangelo as well as some hinted and eventual Stucky
Here's some general info going into the story:
-Nico and Will are aged up; though the events of the story take place soon after the Giant War, Nico is about 17 and Will is almost 18. I felt... weird writing about a fourteen and fifteen year old, even though I don't and probably won't write anything smutty. I was fine writing it when I first started, because I was fifteen then myself, but now that I'm an adult it's... wrong for me to write.
-there's a lot've swearing.
-I Love You
anyway, here we go! I might update this a bit more as I go along, but for now.... yeet.
