“Will had heard love described in so many dramatic, bizarre ways over the years, but no one had described it like this:
It's like drifting through a river of pain and knowing you are safe.
It's like holding a person in your arms and realizing they are an interlocking piece of a puzzle you hadn't known how to assemble.
It's like staring into a dark and treacherous expanse, unsure of awaits you but finding comfort in the fact that you won't have to face it alone.
It was a son of Apollo falling for a son of Hades.
It was this.”
― The Sun and the Star

“Now, wait a second,’ said Annabeth. ‘That’s not what either of us said.
In fact, I would say that you and Nico have one big advantage.’
Percy nodded. ‘You two have each other.’
Nico squinted at him. ‘Um … okay? What does that mean? Besides sounding like a cheesy Hallmark card.’
‘It’s exactly what it sounds like,’ said Annabeth. ‘Because that cheesiness is what’s going to make the journey survivable.”

“Maybe it’s possible to have more than one home. Maybe it’s possible to belong in a hundred different ways to a hundred different people and places.”

“You did,’ confirmed Nico. ‘But it was the way you did it. You made it clear that you wanted me around. You said you wanted me to come to the infirmary and help, because … because you could use a “friendly face”.’
‘It was true. And you did help.’
‘You brought me closer instead of rejecting me,’ Nico said, his voice cracking. ‘I’d never been called a friendly face. Ever. You made me rethink everything – my place in camp, my crush on Percy, my future. It took you scolding me like you were the camp director to make me realize that I was … wanted.”
