Summary
What if Icarus flew too high, not because of his pride, but because of love? If he flew towards the blistering heat that scorched his skin, and all he felt was delicious warmth, until the moment he fell towards the sea. What if, when Icarus had the slightest taste of freedom, he fell in love with the Sun?
OR
Regulus Black falls for a boy who smiles like pure sunshine runs in his veins. James Potter falls for a boy who was doomed from the start. They're a tragedy, a tale that's been told hundreds of times. But sometimes, when the tale is retold, the story changes. And sometimes it never does.
A/N: Currently, I try to update once a month, but I don't always manage it bc grad school hates me. I'm hoping to end this fic around 60-65ish chapters
