'Icarus laughed as he fell.
Threw his head back and
yelled into the winds,
arms spread wide,
teeth bared to the world.

(There is a bitter triumph
in crashing when you should be
soaring.)

The wax scorched his skin,
ran blazing trails down his back,
his thighs, his ankles, his feet.
Feathers floated like prayers
past his fingers,
close enough to snatch back.
Death breathed burning kisses
against his shoulders,
where the wings joined the harness.
The sun painted everything
in shades of gold.

(There is a certain beauty
in setting the world on fire
and watching from the centre
of the flames.)

- Fiona

12 parts Ongoing Mature
The moment Naomi's eyes locked with his, she was toast. Burnt toast. The kind that sets off the smoke alarm and has the neighbors wondering what fresh hell you've gotten yourself into this time. He was a kingpin, a power player in a world hidden beneath the surface of polite society. She knew the risks--hell, she'd read enough Wikipedia articles on organized crime to write a (very poorly researched) thesis. But she also knew that sometimes, the sweetest pleasures come from dancing with the devil...and then making him buy you breakfast the next morning. This wasn't a man who courted; he conquered. And Naomi was more than ready to be conquered. She knew he'd consume her--body, soul, and that secret stash of chocolate she kept on her nightstand. But Naomi wasn't just any damsel in distress. She was ready to consume right back, to leave her own mark on his heart (and maybe his leather jacket, if she got the chance). He'd take it all, claim it all, and probably ruin it all. And Naomi would let him because sometimes, submission is the ultimate power move. An unrestrained ecstasy that knows no bounds, right? But Naomi wasn't about to go down this path of unrestrained ecstasy alone. That just wasn't her style. She knew exactly what she was getting into, and she was all in. Halfway wasn't an option--not for Naomi. (Warning: This is a dark romance, chock-full of mature content that might ruffle a few feathers. It's strictly for those who've blown out at least 18 candles on their birthday cake.) ****YAZNA IS ON HIATUS. SEE YOU IN 2025!****

Decades. He'd wasted decades of his life doing what? Chasing the minuscule sparks of passion to ease the aching void in his chest? Wasn't there something better? Someone to guide him away from the misery? Distract him from the life he couldn't escape from? There were days he didn't know which way was up and where the sea began. Where the skies collided with the dirt and delved into the inferno of the hells. The whispers of creatures that should have had no interest in a mortal caressing the shell of his ears. Beings he believed to be just as mortal as himself and if one observed their flaws they might have been. Walking the city grounds and sailing the oceans as easily as anyone. Blockades of fire and ice prevented their hands from intertwining. Now he balanced atop the wall. Grabbing both with shaky arms and keeping them close. Please don't leave. Fangs and claws used to claim him. Gentle kisses and caresses to calm him. Breathless words pulled him deeper into the madness. Further into inky darkness speckled with blinding light. Granting him everything he never knew he'd wanted. A dream come reality. Strange how love could spark from pain. How fickle. And how much he only wanted more. ((Heelloooo, thanks for clicking. :3 Its been quite a bit since I've written anything but I wanted to try something new. Been into making my own novels and stories and this ones an au based around the chars of my current works. This is gonna be a m/m story. Well theres three of them but who doesnt love a love triangle. Hope ya'll enjoy my for funzies story with love, heartbreak, and gay ass sex. At least weekly updates but possibly more often. We shall see haha. Feel free to ask questions or comment your thoughts, I love those Now, quick warning that there are dark themes involved in this story including manipulation, power dynamics, and dubious consent. Those chapters can be skippable without losing too much plot but I'm warning in advance that viewer discretion is advised.))
