icarus, they begged,
do not fly too high.
the sun will scorch you and leave you broken.
then the sea will swallow you whole.
they did not tell me of your beauty,
nor your blinding love,
and so i forged my own destiny.
reaching for the sun, and falling for you.

How Icarus Fell From the Sun (a Solangelo fanfic)
Nico felt like Icarus. Fly too close to the sun, and your wings will melt. Fly too close to the sea, your wings will grow heavy. Nico had already flown too close to the sea. He had allowed his infatuation with Percy to rule his life, his decisions, for far to many years. His wings had grown heavy, and he'd drowned. Icarus had made a mistake. He strayed too far, entranced by the kindness of the light. The dark wouldn't be as welcoming, ushering you in with no hesitancy and crossed arms. That didn't work out so well for Icarus. So, Nico would allow this filter, this light, to cover him, shroud him in kindness, and possibility, and warmth. But he would not cross further. He would not succumb to the light only to fall forever into darkness. He would do what Icarus couldn't. Nico di Angelo would not fly too close to the sun. Cover art by viria!Complete

The Beginning Of An End
In a universe where myth and reality intertwine, The Beginning of an End follows Asmodeus, the demon of lust and desire, whose centuries of decadence and detachment are disrupted when Loki, the Norse trickster god, breaks into Hell. Their meeting-accidental, fated, or divine mischief-sets off a chain of events that threatens the balance between all realms: Heaven, Hell, and Asgard. Loki arrives bearing a prophecy: that he and Asmodeus are destined to ignite the apocalypse. Torn between disbelief and fascination, Asmodeus lets the trickster live, a decision that slowly erodes the order of Hell. What begins as suspicion and rivalry between two beings of chaos turns into an unlikely bond-a connection that blurs the lines between friendship, defiance, and forbidden affection. Think Good Omens meets Lucifer meets American Gods but darker, queerer, and much more sarcastic. ****I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com****Complete![Uncertain Tides (BoyXBoy) [Editing]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/106882556-256-k106442.jpg)
Uncertain Tides (BoyXBoy) [Editing]
"Waves will ebb and flow, The ocean will give and take, The tides will rise high, The waters may run low, The Tides might be filled with Uncertainty, But there is one thing I am sure, As long as you're with me, I'd be ready, To swim, Into the Uncertain Tides." -★- This is an LGBT+ and a modernday interpretation of Little Mermaid and and most of this is based from the fairytale itself, a ton of things from my mind and a tiny hint of personal experience. Sort of. This book is about the day to day struggle of our Little Mermaid, who lives on the crooked version of this fairytale Watty Awards 2017: Short Story Entry. [#Wattys2017]Complete
Beneath The Surface
I'm falling... Falling, helplessly and inevitably; completely at the mercy of the forces dragging me down. Having to trust in an entity's blind intentions and praying to God that they won't let me hit the ground. It's an incredible and horrifying feeling. A feeling that I live for. And I have realized that having something to live for makes you all the more scared of dying. (Constant uploads, and even more editing to older uploads)Complete

Under the Same Sky [BOYXBOY]
'What's your favourite thing in the world?' 'The sky.' 'The sky?' 'Yes.' 'Why the sky?' 'Because it keeps reminding us that no matter who we are or where we come from, whether we're black or white, gay or straight, we are all under the same sky.' ************************************************* Two boys. Two stories. One school. This is not your typical boy meets boy story. This is a story where the bad boy is not the jock and the good boy not the scrawny teenager. This is a story about love. A love so pure as the two find themselves by losing themselves in each other. A story about love, about acceptance and about hope. For you see, this is the greatest love story ever written.Complete
