ICARUS FALLS
We all know how the story of Icarus goes. The son of Daedalus ignored his father's warnings and flew too close to the sun. His wings melted and he fell into the sea. Aurora Jackson was not that different from Icarus. No, she wasn't prideful, nor did she fly too close to the sun, no. She fell for the sea. She fell, and she fell 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥. (watching the movies fic)

Searching
AJ Lane's best friend Nikolai Harris was obsessed with Greek Mythology; particularly the myth that Zeus feared the power of humans so he cut them all in half, forcing them to forever be in search of their other half. He believed there was one person out there for everyone and when they found each other, they would be whole again. That's no secret, but when he dies on graduation night, AJ's entire life is thrown off track. She's forced to face life without him and discovers with a little help from his journal, some crazy dreams of a past lifetime she doesn't remember, a new boy who immediately steals her heart and a Demi-God that claims he's one of Zeus' sons that maybe what Nik believed was true and that maybe finding the other half of your soul isn't always a good thing. Maybe it brings about just as much destruction as it does happiness.Complete
