The Flight & the Fall follows the story of Icarus Dawnguard in his days of early adulthood. Following his newly obtained status of Knight, he attempts to find his place in the world and break free from the bonds of his father's reputation. But the weight of such a title is heavy on the bearer, and Icarus may just be burned yet...

His character is based loosely on the Greek mythology of Icarus, Apollo, and lessons of hubris.

I play Icarus in my D&D group's homebrew campaign, and originally started writing these snippets as I made up his backstory. That is until I ended up having way too much fun with this world and characters, and thought that it would all make for a great epic saga! The world of Nethedria is a creation of our DM, @coffeepaladin (on Twitter and Wattpad), with strong incorporation of classical D&D content.

A Court of Fallen Heroes ( Azriel x OC - ACoTaR Fanfiction ) by xCalliopeXx

It was a known fact: the veil between the worlds was getting thinner and thinner, so the possibility of a crash was already a certainty. The rumors started a long time ago, but no one did anything to stop it. Fortunately, time passed, we went through wars and race exterminations, but the Faerie Realms and the Mortal Lands remained almost the same, some richer and some poorer. Nobody was talking about the fallen, until now, when the fates started working their old, wicked magic and gave us an early Summer Soltice gift: an unprepared girl who was sent tumbling from the sky. Tumultuous and dangerous, Bitter and heartbreaking. This is the story of the Evening Star. About the young woman who holds the Sun as her weapon, And the Moon as an ornament. About the Cursed Crown, who chooses its own master And about the man in the shadows, irreversibly bound to her, by the tongue of death. And, after all, about us, the nothingness who catches a goal. I am the Bloody Blade, former leader of the first legion, last of my kind, banished and tormented by dark memories and here is the beginning of our story. 𓆩✴𓆪 Content Warning: This story contains explicit sexual content (including consensual and non-consensual elements), graphic violence, trauma, and mature themes.

Valerie by Ahyuuga586

***SAMPLE!*** There's a prophecy - a prophecy holding the fate of two worlds. On the edge of Lilah's field, at the twelfth hour of the fall of twelve, the three kings will unite, a daisy will be lost, or the worlds will be gone. The Oracle tells me that I am bound to the prophecy. That I cannot alter or change it. That I'm destined to be greater than what I am, but I already knew that. I've known that since the age of five. Now, can you guess who needs to die? Death doesn't bother me. I will let the world burn if it means achieving my goals - because with every lick of the whip; he tore my flesh raw, as his laughter rang through the mansion, and my screams disturbed the heavens. No one cared to help, no one listened - definitely not the Gods. So why should I? ._. Eldora. A world woven together by magic. Cloaked in darkness and chaos, sin, and deceit. Where no one is innocent; where both hands - and teeth - drip with the blood of others. And there is her. A lone wolf, watching the world tear itself apart. Watching the chaos, the death, the destruction as she fights a far greater war, within her. What's right and wrong? What's considered good and evil? Where does she stand in this enteral mystery, we call a universe? Coated in darkness and pain, she questions the meaning of life and death, and her purpose in this world of infinite possibilities. She finds only one answer: REVENGE. WARNING - Contains abuse, suicidal thoughts, intense trauma, and erotic scenes. Please do not read if this is heavily triggering for you!

Alpha Flight: Weapon X by LuminousAvenger

In an effort to ramp up national security and maintain compliance with the Sokovia Accords, Canada initiated Alpha Flight- a special program akin to The Avengers Initiative. Among the ranks is a technologically outfitted war hero, a mythical beast, a demigoddess, super-powered twins, and a shamaness. Though individually powerful, their ability to function as a team will be put to the test when an evil as old as the earth itself awakens from a millennia's old slumber. In the face of devastatingly powerful mystical forces, will their combined powers be enough to save the entire planet from a fate worse than death? Or will the primordial terrors lay waste to the planet, reclaiming it as their own and enslaving all life as we know it? This is an origin story for Alpha Flight. It takes place between Avengers: Divided We Fall and Avengers: Whatever it Takes.

When former Jedi guardian Ryu Chikara's ship crash-lands on a mysterious planet unlike any he's ever known, he finds himself far from the galaxy's conflicts-but no closer to peace. Aranthia, a realm where magic reigns and danger lurks at every turn, is on the brink of war. Among medieval castles and enchanted forests, orcs, elves, and beasts roam-none of whom have ever heard of the Force. Accompanied by his loyal tactical droid, Apollo, and his mechanic Lyra, Ryu's survival depends not only on his skill with a lightsaber but also his ability to navigate a strange new world where power lies not in technology, but in spells, swords, and ancient secrets. Along the way, Ryu rescues a lost beast folk child, Nikko, and joins forces with a beautiful elvish warrior, Talia. But when dark forces from the past reawaken, threatening both this world and the one he left behind, Ryu must confront his deepest fears and reconcile with the guilt that haunts him. As ancient prophecies stir and long-buried powers resurface, Ryu's destiny becomes entangled with Aranthia's own. Will he bring balance to a world teetering on the edge of chaos-or will he become the harbinger of its destruction? In this epic blend of sci-fi adventure and high fantasy, Stranded in a Magical World with my Lightsaber takes readers on a journey across two worlds colliding, where a hero must rediscover his purpose amidst shadowy forces, forgotten magic, and unlikely friendships.

Elvirund | ✔️ by actuallyElliot

*Featured on Fantasy's Dark Fantasy reading list!* ► Book One of the Wings Trilogy This is, by no means, a story for those light of heart. This is also, unfortunately, a true story. I am a doctor with wings, one who doesn't belong here. I know, stereotypical. But it's true. Still confused? I used to be an angel. I caused the apocalypse of the planet inhabited by the very creatures I was supposed to help. It was the only way to help them, really. But that's a different story for a different day. Now, the surviving humans have emerged from the rubble, soaking in the damage left over from my destructive actions. What are they supposed to do about that? I have been cast upon earth, given the task of taking care of them and healing them. I suppose I have to clean up after myself. I doubt, however, that I have any chance of returning home to Elvirund. Or, as the humans call it, Heaven. You see, all of them are wounded. And the Elders are coming after me. ---------------------------------------------------- Rated Mature for: infrequent/mild cursing, mild graphic content Beautiful cover thanks to @leaving_forever Started: Jul 17, 2016 Ended: May 14, 2017

Skylight by alezuhs

When Icarus fell into the sea, he wasn't found until weeks later, when Daedalus had finally given up searching. Now, his winged descendants live in the sky kingdom Empyrea, fighting an endless war with Icaria to save themselves from being bought and sold into slavery. Over a century later, however, one side of the war falters and a betrothal is proposed in order to bring peace. But when Empyrea's prince, Atlas, follows through with the treaty, he soon starts to find that the betrothal will lead to much more than was agreed upon. When paths meet and fates cross, for better or for worse, will Atlas be able to rise to throne and truly end the war for good?
