Loved it! Hades was adorable if that's possible, and I loved the classic teen reaction from Nico -great touch. As always you're the greatest!

:)

Honestly? I'd rather have Thalico, but then there would be no sly insinuation...maybe Reyna's a better choice for dark, depressing Nico (don't get me wrong, I love him)

LOL! I love the end hinting at Gwen! I agree with you in your AN. I thought it was a musing, but he was telling his son. I thought it was cute. But it's also serious in that there are his unexpressed emotions for Persephone.

And interesting idea about the scent instead of the sight.

Awesome, just awesome. :)
