In 2024, Nicolau published his first Novel TWO, a coming-of-age story centered on two college students while being told from alternating perspectives over the course of a single day.[7]

TWO received a positive response from critics. Erin Britton of Independent Book Review stated, "... Elucidating the importance of interpersonal connection and just how quickly strong bonds can be formed, it examines how meaning and purpose can be found in the most unlikely of places."[8]
