Every time the story is told, it ends the same way. The Minotaur is killed, Daedalus is imprisoned, Icarus dies. A warning-never fly too close to the sun. You will fall.
But what if somebody fished Icarus out of the sea, and made him part of their crew? It's not as though it would be easy, not by any means, but his story doesn't have to end in tragedy every time. After all, stories can be re-written.
But there are storms ahead, and it seems that, when your captain is friends with a sorceress, things are never going to work out quite the way you expect.

Skylight
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?Complete
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
