Martyr And Icarus, A Story.

Martyr and Icarus, a story.

Icarus, another young mortal full of hopes and fears calls hesitantly, Icarus, tell me a thing, please. This human, so flawed and such a helpless dreamer, has bright eyes that can shame gods and a smile so sharp and beautiful that stars don’t shine at all; an impossible love breathes within bones and flesh, like fire.

Was love worth the fall, Icarus? Please, tell me it was, I hope it was, this mortal, youth that is heroic and shattered and slightly afraid, pleads to the sky, pleads to the sea. Hope is almost as dreadful and tricky as freedom, love is even worse.

Oh, Icarus, I think I want to love something divine so hard, I think I want to kiss something divine so much, this young mortal sighs and blinks with tears like shards of glass and blood alike liquid gold. A boy with wings made of wax and flesh as soft as a rose petal cries, for fate is unfair, fate is always so unfair.

Run away from your monster of a lover: they’re going to eat you alive soon, and this night isn’t a night for tragedies, Icarus whispers softly all the things he wishes he’d known.

Maybe if he remembered them better, maybe if his father didn’t die before he hit double digits, maybe if Bradley Bradshaw knew the sort of home that was filled with love and laughter rather than the echo of grief, he would do this better. And by this he meant love.

fuck me or eat me, it's all the same in the end (4696 words) by Sapphic_terror Chapters: 1/2 Fandom: Yellowjackets (TV) Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Mari/Shauna Shipman, Jeff Sadecki/Shauna Shipman, Shauna Shipman/Jackie Taylor, Akilah/Mari (Yellowjackets), Melissa/Shauna Shipman Characters: Mari (Yellowjackets), Shauna Shipman, Jackie Taylor (Yellowjackets), Akilah (Yellowjackets), Yellowjackets (TV) Ensemble, Travis Martinez, Natalie Scatorccio, Misty Quigley Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Mari Ibarra Lives (Yellowjackets), Canon-Typical Violence, Cannibalism, Hate Sex, Mari and Shauna fuck at her wedding, Jackie Taylor Haunts the Narrative (Yellowjackets), Lesbian Shauna Shipman, Trauma, Grief/Mourning, Character Study, Mari needs a hug, Shauna Shipman Needs a Hug, They fuck instead, blink and you miss it implied poly, (they defintely got up to shit in the wilderness okay), Consensual But Not Safe Or Sane, Mari is a brat, Shauna just wants her to shut up, Ghost Jackie Taylor (Yellowjackets), Threesome - F/F/F, Kinda, Infidelity, on like 8 levels Series: Part 3 of bones and all Summary: The dress was biting into her skin and some random jock turned “entrepreneur” was staring at her tits. Mari was so over this. The music, the lights, even the champagne tasted like fizzy grape juice, not the strong, burning kind. It was all so perfectly boring - Shauna Shipman’s wedding. Shauna Sadecki now, ugh, Mari was about to throw up in her mouth, and nobody would even blame her.   (Or, Shauna gets married to Jeff and - She and Mari fuck during the reception.)

no no god please can we talk about how maddy/tara finds her heart. their hearts. locked away and still beating. and we have to assume, even though she dug herself out, she’s still dying without her heart. but she left it there. she left it there with isabel’s because she needs to go back in, they need to get out together. she left her heart. they’re both still beating but she left her heart. to go back.
