Do you have any headcanons for Nico Di Angelo and Lou Ellen’s friendship cuz u mentioned once u agreed that they’d be good friends
This is actually something I wanted to explore more in my fanfictions on Ao3,but here we are.
As a child of a chthonic goddess Lou Ellen know pretty much how things are in the Underworld and has a good connection with it (not as strong as Nico). Thanks to that,she is able to always know what's going on down there and if Nico is up to something since the ghosts like to talk about him.
Nico is pretty close to Lou,and together with Clovis,they have their little "Children of the Chthonics God Club". They usually have a couple of meetings in the middle of the night in the Hades Cabin (without Chiron knowing) and sometimes even pajama party.
Since her mother is his sister mentor,Lou also spent a couple of hours with them when Hazel visit,to teach her more about mist manipulation. Nico sometimes has to watch over both of them to make sure they don't try to unleashed chaos in the cabin.
When Nico is in the Underworld,and had to visit Hecate,he usually ask about if she want to send something to Lou. For this reason,when he come back from the Underworld a couple of times,he always has with him a couple of gifts. Other times is the oppiste,Lou asks him to give her mother something from her and Nico will help her.
If they are on a quest/mission together,they are usually very effective since mist powers make the job more easy. For them. They usually scare the poor monsters away by making skeleton and zombies suddenly appear,in a very dense fog,everywhere. The monsters often than not escape before they can get to them.
Lou often use an Ouija Board to communicate with ghosts,knowing full well it will piss Nico off because it's fake and it's not the right way to do a ritual. By doing this,she is sure that he will show her the right way to do it,so she can use it the next time she needs to talk to some dead magician for a couple of tricks.
One time she had Nico on a throne,flying,with a little crown of wood,shouting loud: "Long live to the Prince of Hell!" Nico chased her down the whole day and she promised to never do that again. The next time? She got Will on an identical throne shouting: "Long live to the Prince Consort!" Nico almost murdered her for that,Will had to physical stop him.
They are actually pretty close,since their parents are gods from the Underworld,so they can understand each other and are always there to back up the other's opinion.
Nico asked Lou to teach him a couple of trick about mist manipulation and she was happy to teach him. By the time they finished,Nico could become invisible by covering himself with the mist. He used that plenty of the times he wanted to be left alone,but Lou could always sense him regardless.
She is the one to update Will when Nico is away in the Underworld,taking care of some business his father gave him. She is also the first one Will goes too when he doesn't have letters from his boyfriend.
Nico trust Lou Ellen with a lot more than she think. They are both Underworld children after all,and that's a deep connection for them. He asks for for advice when he doesn't know what to do in some situation.
When she is having trouble with her powers,Lou often goes to Nico to rant about it. He actually give good advice and had a neutral view of it. And when she can't feel the magic radiating from the dead? She run to Nico and he always know how help her around.
During Halloween they race against other for the the competition "Who decorated their cabin the best?" that CHB held every year. They put so much emphasis into it that most of the campers stay away from their cabins because of how much scared they are. Hecate and Hades cabins ended up,every year,tied up for the 1st place on the podium.
They like to explore hunted places,or the ones used by cults,together. Sometimes Will and Hazel (more Will) join them,but it's mostly them against the evil spirits. It's their favorite hobby to do together.
For now it's only those,but I'll probably think of more in the future. Honestly,death is extremely connected to Magic,so it's strange that Nico and Lou Ellen aren't close or at least know more about each other. They are both Underworld children too,and their parents work together. If only Rick used this connection we could have a chaotic duo and a solid friendship for Nico.
