    Summary

    Goro was faithless.
    Being faithless does not mean he doesn’t believe in the gods—oh no, Goro believes in them just fine.
    He has been conceived by one, after all.

    ~

    An AU where Goro is Icarus and Akira is Apollo—with a twist.

    Summary

    “Your father broke your heart.” Joker's pale fingers gently run over the displayed viscera, caressing innards almost, almost lovingly. “It was only fair that I reaped you his.”
    The black dagger once again finds its way to Joker’s deft hands, layers of fat and muscle parting under the elegant dance of his blade.
    It’s haunting.
    It’s beautiful.

    Summary

    The words such as irreversible brain damage, spinal cord injury all went over Akira’s head. He barely listened to the doctor with eyes fixed on the small figure on the hospital bed. He couldn’t help but think that Goro finally looks peaceful. The disgusting part of him thought it might be for the better.

    Better. That’s when it dawned on him.

    Goro Akechi would never get better. Goro Akechi would spend the rest of his days confined to a hospital bed.
     

    In January of 201X, Goro Akechi is found again.

    In January of 201X, Akira Kurusu's life ends.

    Summary

    Elisabeth Kübler-Ross is full of shit, Akira thinks.

    How can you define grief as five measly stages? How can you define grief at all? Akira shoves his hands into his messy curls and lets out a groan while sitting at Leblanc’s counter.

    Grief is not all that simple to Akira. It comes in spurts, in squiggles, in lines, in blobs. It’s not nearly close to linear, and it’s not even close to five stages. Maybe ten. Maybe twenty. Hell, to him, it seems like the stages are endless. He’s stuck in a loop of grievance that shows no pity towards him.

    Or, Akira never thought he'd have to incorporate Maruki's lesson on the five stages of grief into his own life.

    Summary

    Several thousand years ago, King Yaldaboath purged the Unseelie from the Summer Kingdom and sealed the Barrier, permanently separating the two realms and sparing the Seelie from the Darkening, a wasting disease spread by the Unseelie. The Seelie lived in peace under the King's rule until, mysteriously, the Darkening began to return, ravaging outlying towns and stirring panic everywhere.

    Tucked away in the Summer Court, Goro has more immediate concerns: pleasing his cold and duplicitous father, maintaining his toothless and friendly facade, and hiding his own treasonous aspirations. The arrival of an enigmatic new page certainly doesn't help things. Akira is magnetic and unusually interested in him and Goro finds himself increasingly distracted. When the Darkening comes to their front door, Goro and Akira set out to discover the cause of the outbreak, but the answers they find throw everything about the world as they know it into question.
