"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.

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." ******* ®®

How Icarus Fell From the Sun (a Solangelo fanfic) by fictionbyanyothernam
26 parts Complete
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!

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!
