"The wind in his hair felt nice. It was cooling against the sun and wax that had been burning his back. It reminded him of every moment he sat alone on the window ledge of Minos' tower, praying for some kind of deliverance. Yet, it also reminded him of every moment he sat on the window ledge next to Apollo; he remembered the feeling of Apollo's soft fingers running through his hair, he could remember the feeling of his head against Apollo's chest, listening to his heartbeat. 

In those moments, he almost felt human."
*

For a long time, Icarus thought he was alone. Until one night, the world showed him he wasn't.

Myrrh could only remember so far back in time, her memory becoming a blur of her life before being placed within the stone walls of the garden she resided in. Her former friend, Apollo, keeps her company in secret until he slips up one night and Myrrh begs him to stay. Instead, he whisks her away to his world of Olympus and is soon entangled within conflicts between jealous and vengeful gods, seeking out the light Apollo placed within her soul to keep her alive, a portion of the sun. As she's swept up into the unknown world of her past, will her memories finally return to her with the help of her former friends, as she navigates the peculiar realm she is now within, while also dealing with grief and even feelings of love for the people she cares for?

One of the most painful things on earth is to lose a loved one. Whether in death or heartbreak. It's a pain different from all others. You feel every burn, every ache, your senses awaken, and greedily await a memory to sip in and then wreck your entire being. She took everything. His Light. His Heart. His Soul. It had no end. For years it went on like it would never end. But, it did. Just in passing, a normal day, a day like every other, but it was the day, his heart danced truly and his chest tighten as if a fierce wind had passed by, blending with his soul, leaving a suffocating feeling in his chest, a choking sensation in his throat, there was a pressure making it hard to breathe. ******* "My heart has heated for the human and my blood has flown for him. Every time I thought of him, my heart would ache. It would ache so much I couldn't breathe, the feeling of despair, yet sweetness... Even so, I still couldn't stop thinking about him." So...this is how it feels to love a person. "I belong to you, just as this merman belongs to the seas. Like a falling leaf belongs to its roots." "Nothing can stop me from falling into your embrace." ******* ®®

Celestial London Chronicles #1 Long ago, the sun Xyliath, one of the ancient gods, fell in the first Blood War for peace. Her burning tears formed a flaming sword, which she gave to her son Aurelius. The sword had the power to destroy worlds and create new ones, but above all it possessed a power that no other god had. The ability to kill a god. No man, no hand and no weapon could cut through the skin of a celestial being and take out its heart. The Sword of Xyliath was the only exception. For centuries, the sword was protected by the sun god Aurelius, until it was stolen. The sun god, who has long rivalled the moon god, blames the latter for this and sends his grandson Silthos, the god of love and desire, to capture him. The young god receives support from the most feared deity of all - Aristaeus, the god of blood and war. This unusual partnership is intended to save the world from a possible new assassin of the gods. But the collaboration proves to be more difficult than expected. Silthos' usual charm doesn't seem to attract the god of blood and war, and Aristaeus' penchant for blood and torture even gives Silthos the creeps. Two men - a psycho and an unkissed man who embodies lust and desire. Can they save the world from the power of the sword? Who can they trust and, most importantly, can they trust each other?

[COMPLETED] "We both agreed, Apollo! We said no feelings, no attachments! You promised you wouldn't get attached." I look down at my lap in worry and shame. I have no idea what to say, I promised her, but like an idiot I broke that promise. "Say something!" My breath hitches and I look up at my beautiful girl through my lashes, my eyes brimming with tears because I know after tonight we won't be seeing each other again. I stand up from the edge of the bed and walk over to her, watching as her chest moves up and down harshly with each breath. My eyes trail over the love marks I left moments ago when we were happy to only get lost in each other's arms temporarily. She's mad at me. I never wanted her to be mad at me. "I'm sorry, baby," I whisper reaching forward to run my finger along her cheek catching the falling tear that flows down her soft skin. "You promised." She whispers. I know. "I promise I'm not attached, Blue." Too late. ••• Apollo and Blue have a few things in common. They're both lonely, they're both sad and they both attend the same university, a place where they stumble upon each other for the first time. So when the two decide to keep each other company by forming a causal relationship, the hard-headed Blue sets clear instructions for Apollo. Do not get attached. #2 Dark // 7 April 2022 #1 Interracial // 8 April 2022

The Not-So-Sunny Sun God [An Artemis And Apollo Story] by Garecc
7 parts Complete
It takes six months to lose your immortality. Six grueling months of pain and fear. Follow my take on what may have happened during the six months Apollo went silent.... also included! (Also the main story) An alternate scenario where Artemis found Apollo during those six months and was Mad™ Artemis was worried. She was worried of what Zeus may be doing to Apollo. She knew it was foolish to be nervous, her brother WAS immortal after all. She was finished wasting her time worrying about the annoying sun god that was her brother, so she decided she was going to find him and punch him for making her worry... What she found made her feel sick to her godly stomach. okay basically I wrote this oneshot a long time ago and I was going thru my Google drive and I found it and then I was like OH I COULD MAKE AN AU OF THAT so I made a semi good Apollo Artemis hurt comfort thing and yeah Apollo and Artemis fluff ensures Now includes my random Godly Twin Drabbles! Enjoy!
