stws is so beautifully written, i can't even describe how much i love this story! i think the chat amelia had with gemma was so necessary! i hope its opened up her eyes and she'll allow herself to move on (but never forget), begin a happy life, and finally let in the people who clearly love her! *ahem harry* he is so far gone for her. it's painful & wonderful all at the same time

also maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing for amelia & her growth to drop the people who clearly drag her down emotionally ie. grace & deon. if not that then a serious talk needs to be had i think

Hi there! Thanks so much for reading and reaching out! I’m so pleased you’re enjoying it! I promise we’ll see some resolution with the quiz team! x

heyyy ☺ just caught up on ferocity!! harry + birthdays just don't add up 😭 i was definitely not expecting harry to blow up like that!! it really took me by surprise. im wondering if that's a side affect of his injuries or if he's that wound up!? (i mean i wouldn't blame him at all tbh) also curious how melody is gonna handle all of this moving forward? excited to find out!

BIRTHDAYS ARE DEFINITELY NOT HIS SHINING MOMENTS LMAOOO. You won’t have to wait to long for some answers. ;))

Icarus Falling

Barid (Finale)

Summary:

Too close to the sun, and so he falls.

Work Text:

He’s not too surprised when he hits the ground.

He’s more surprised it took so long.

“So hero . A spy the entire time,” sneers the all too familiar and aggravating voice.

Dabi.

Todoroki Touya.

He’s not sure which name is worse, but that could be the extreme physical trauma talking.

“Flew too close and got burned,” Dabi taunts, nudging a boot into Hawks’s ribs.

Got burned but took the League down , Hawks thinks, closing his eyes and trying to block out the fire and the pain. I’m gonna die, but at least your done.

He’d spent almost three years gathering information, helping the other heroes plan their final takedown of the League. He’d watched as Deku took down All For One and Shigaraki for good, watched as Ground Zero defeated Kurogiri and Frozenfire take down Dabi (though apparently not for good, but they’re brothers so maybe he couldn’t take the last step?). He’d watched, he’d fought, and he thought he’d live.

But he guesses not.

“Goodbye Hawks. I’ll do you a little mercy. I’ll tell them where to find the body,” Dabi says, and Hawks can hear the ghastly smile in his voice, but he won’t look at him.

He won’t look as the blue flames swallow him whole.

(All he can see is white, and all he can hear is the low whisper of voices and he is...)

Icarus Falling

(art by rockgem)

That evil day, Icarus found That he was falling to the ground And now, the all expansive blue Before him grew, and grew, and grew

The wax dipp'd feathers on his arms Tore hair from skin, and did him harm And left him, skywards fading fast; Betrayed him as to earth he crashed

Daedalus, loyal father turned His face away as child burned In dreadful glory as he spun Beneath the stolid, midday sun

And thus cried out the cursed youth And nothing could his terror soothe And wished that prison never fled For better chained than free and dead

But hark! The Sun did stir, and sigh, And spake, "Oh man, why do you cry?" Icarus said, "Cannot you see, That I am falling to the sea?

These feathers bore me up in flight Until I, proud, basked in thy light For once was I in prison bound But woe! For now shall I be drowned."

“Be peace, oh man, although you fall For now a secret I will tell: One thing did not the jailer take, Nor I, though your devices bake.

We did not take your will to stay Alive, to see another day, And now you fall, and you will die But you are able, so must try

With all that heaven calls your own To keep these skies in which you’ve flown To grasp them with your mortal hand And mortal foot on clouds to stand.”

Icarus counselled thus resolved While he celestially revolved Though it were vanity to try To spread his wingless arms and fly

Daedalus looked upon his heir, Who with loud tremors clawed the air And hid again when son did break Upon the water’s cruel wake

Oh! Son of craftsman, though you left Your father of his son bereft And though you plunged a fatal mile While you sank, the gods did smile

For foolish man, in your last hour Did the bud of wisdom flower And did Thanatos’ staff defy For love of father, sun, and sky
