Broken

"As a son of Hades, Nico always walked a fine line between life and death. It would be far too easy to delve too deeply and slip into madness, as so many of his father's other children had. So when he walked too close to that line, when the voices of the dead called too loudly from the Underworld, Percy would gather him in his arms and press Nico's ear to his heart, the sound of life drowning out the siren call of death." (omfg best Percico headcannon ever)

"He had his father's eyes - that intense, manic fire that made you suspect he was either a genius or a madman."

"Nico’s eyes looked like shattered glass. Percy wondered sadly if something inside him had broken permanently."

I know the eye is rather disproportionate but whateveeer. I love the colours and texture in this. I'm just sad that I couldn't exactly express what I wanted to
