Summary
Do not soar too low, for the water that shares the flavor of your sadness shall heavy those waxen wings. The agony will swallow you once more.
He hears these pleads, and he disregards. For how, for the one that is imprisoned unjustly and burdened with the skills to invent but no inspiration, is he to fall? The sky is blue. The labyrinth is far gone. He drinks in the feel of the sun. For once, he is not cold. He is not a corpse in a crypt.
Icarus is alive. He is alive! And oh, what a feeling it is!

Summary
When Zagreus finally defeats his father to escape the underworld, instead of finding his mother in a hidden-away cottage, he finds an exiled witch on her island. When Circe is banished to Aiaíā, she was prepared for loneliness and isolation, not the kind gaze of the prince of the underworld.
Basically, I just want Circe to be loved, and Zagreus is literally perfect for her. I have an actual plot brewing, so stayed tuned.

Summary
What’s she doing wasting her time with me? he thought to himself, but seeing the earnest gleam in her eyes, the unapologetic way in which she extended her hand for him to take, to hold, his thoughts quieted. It's been a while since he felt this kind of warmth; no longer concerned with reaching for the heavens and its inevitable consequences, perhaps he could allow himself to bask in it once more.
He took her hand and followed her. As it turns out, it wasn’t so different from flying.
----
Guilt and crippling self-doubt are Icarus' constant companions, but no force could stop him from helping the goddess he cares about.
