![]() ![]() ![]() How could you possibly even be talking to her?” Anyway turns out I was right and he was a giant douche so I saved her some trouble and she said she’d come get us out of the labyrinth now that you’ve got a plan to escape Crete.” “Of course not! I talked to Ariadne while you were giving her that ball of string and I told her to use Theseus to get off of Crete then kick him to the curve after robbing him blind so she could make her way. “So, you plan to leave your father in this be-damned labyrinth and go flutter over the walls on your own?” Icarus is 19 and much smarter than his father. Icarus sighs and places his hand on Daedalus’ shoulder, “I am a man now father – I must make my own way sometime.” Not make some wings out of arts and crafts supplies.” “I am inventing a boat that uses something I call sails to outstrip any fleets that Minos, the old bastard, may send after us. “Well,” he ignores his poor father, “we were planning on escaping anyway, right?” In front of his very own eyes, Daedalus, the master craftsman, sees his son pull out some wax and feathers. I’ve got it all figured out,” he reaches behind him, “Ta-dah!” “And how will you build these wings, Icarus?” The man’s eyes look further up to the heavens, asking the gods why his son is like this. His eyes trace back up to Icarus, the boy’s grin beaming against his dark skin. ![]() “Sure, lots of times,” the son smiles and forces a piece of paper into his sight, “I even have a plan!”ĭaedalus unwillingly reads his son’s plan. “I’m going to fly to the sun and get that godly dick,” Icarus tells his father, who has begged him countless times to please, please not tell him everything that goes through his head.ĭaedalus sighs, lets the tool he had in his hand fall to the work table, and cradles his head in his hands, “Do you think before you speak?” And Icarus is nothing if not dedicated to an unreasonable degree. Icarus isn’t quite certain why one day he looks at the sun and pictures it being a giant fiery god that could snuff him out in an instant and thinks “ I’m into that”, but he does. (See the end of the work for more notes.) I feel like the comedy is front-loaded because it started as a cracky little fic then turned into a whole story, but I hope you enjoy the tale of my dumb little Icarus! Like apparently there is a version of the myth where Daedalus invents sails to escape Crete? The more you know. I also have not read primary source material in, like, six years so please don't come after me for inaccuracies this is purely self-indulgent. Like the tags say, I have no clue when things happen in relation to each other in Greek myth. I also ended up wanting to do character design for a lot of the gods so Icarus' journey just kept getting longer. I don't stay consistently with the original character design (when I initially saw it I thought Helios was Apollo and I can only see them that way now) but it is thanks to that little comic that this 40 page alternate mythology of Icarus was born. This fic was inspired by a picture from erinye on tumblr: I finally wrote the ending and I'm not sure if I'm completely happy with it but it's DONE. Picked it up during winter break then had a bunch of shit I had to do and stopped writing it again. So I've been working on this since last fall, but grad school got Real and I stopped at around 20 pages.
