facts only jay knows about samiel and vice versa?

Hmm, good question lovely anon!

Facts Jay knows about Samiel:

Samiel - and he will never admit to this - sometimes hums along to a song in the privacy of their home.

As he gets older, he gets faint laughter lines at the corners of his eyes, and Jay cherishes every single one of them, because they are sign that Samiel is happy. He is loved.

Samiel once broke two intergalactic laws to help Hird. (Hird does not know this.)

Every time he's forced to eat a certain fruit, he pulls an unintentional face.

He is a song in Jay's soul.

Facts Samiel knows about Jay:

Jay (without realising it) will sometimes let his stubble grow a bit when he's feeling nostalgic.

He is far more desirable than he realises, and Samiel will be keeping an eye on some people.

When he's got a terrible plan (that he's absolutely going to make work) he taps his thumb and forefinger together.

His salzon work is... not as good as he likes to think it is, and Samiel is never going to tell him that.

He is an eternal sunrise in Samiel's soul.

Samiel loves him he loves him he loves him

(Some things aren't secret.)

Fan Covers for Icarus Burning and Rarely Pure

I was reading @ladyinbooks amazing Icarus Burning, and Rarely Pure. Proceeded to finish all that was available and catch the brain rot.

In order to feel like I was doing something I made these covers. I wanted them to look similar as both stories are set in the same universe. Is there a name for the shared universe?

Not to sure about the blue for Rarely Pure. I chose it to contrast with the orange of Icarus Burning. There wasn't really a colour that stood out to me for RP.

Here are some colour variations because I can't be stopped.

Extra spacey ones for RP because I couldn't decided which way to go.

Think the space ones are my slowly becoming favourite though.

"Icarus was an idiot, he thought he could fly into the sun using wings.. I just move in for a kiss from your smile and it's the same thing. I fall, but not to my death.."

Your smile is exactly 7 times brighter than the sun and a billion times hotter - eUë

slate + tarot in the hob

Her hair was whiter and she was missing more teeth than he recalled, but here she was, in the same spot she’d always been in, with the same set-up in front of her as ever before: a small earthenware mug with some coins in it, and a deck of colorful cards, all hand-drawn by her, spread before her. “This is Cress. Cress, this is Marble. She’s the best fortune teller you’ll ever see. She’s the real deal.”

the world This is your past. This could be chance, perfection, honor. Success, happiness. Relationships.

the tower This is a warning. You’d do well to heed it. Something is coming, something unexpected. It could be good, it could be bad.

the two of pentacles The desire to work on projects of your own in the hopes of helping others. You want to change things, make them better than they were.

the three of swords, reversed This represents you. That work you’re doing… You’re making errors, acting foolishly. You know this. It’s exhausting, maybe even scary, and you’re overworking yourself in the process.

the chariot This represents those that are influencing you. There are many. They’re fighting by your side, full of spirit and life. And they are victorious on their pursuits, which leads them to encourage you down the same path. Into the same things. Be wary, though. Their success does not ensure yours. It could lead to bad news.

the two of wands, reversed You may be wondering what to do now. You’ll need to have hope, you’ll need to think outside the box. You may need a miracle. That could be what saves you.

the hierophant This is your final outcome. The bearer of knowledge. You may be going through, or you may be about to go through, a period of enlightenment. The impact will be hard to overstate. You are being called on to honor traditions and rituals that you have neglected. You should remember who you are, where you come from. Who you truly are.

Icarus

Icarus, How did it end up like this? You kissed the incandescent, gracious face, Of the god Apollo, what a disgrace! Your love for the one above, Came crashing down like a dead dove. A whisper here,a murmur there, An unvoiced, desperate prayer. They whispered at your watery altar, Though the whispers never seemed to falter.

Consumed by the seas down from above, All because of your forbidden love. Centuries later the nereids shall find, Your body broken, your eyes blind. Blinded by the love once felt, They dragged you through the gates of hell. For a sinner, truly that you were, For kissing a man, a deity, a sinner. Your soul, put on trial then, Banished from the gates of hell. For who could truly bear to see? A mortal and a god, lovingly.

A doomed love, a broken heart, And broken wings ripped straight apart. And when the dawn finally broke, The great Apollo let out a croak. For the little mortal who caught his eyes, Landed straight to his demise. The young man who once kissed his face, Would never see the light of days.

Just saying, I want one story where Icarus is a moth and his sun is a bug zapper.
