Summary
This is a retell of the story of the Minotaur from Greek Mythology, as I felt very strongly about his story and wanted to try my hand at doing his character justice. I feel like there are a few gaps in his story generally, and I aimed to try to fill those gaps while adding depth to him.

Summary
His greatest joy has always been the sun and sky, even back when he was stuck in that gods forsaken labyrinth. It was his only light in the maze, after all. Even his genius of an uncle could not light the world for half a day. It lead him to try and reach it with his uncles invention on his back. The wings melted, but he tried, he tried so hard to reach the sky, and that is more than most could say, so he laughed and laughed and laughed.

Summary
Many have fallen for the sun. Icarus is one of many. A story to be told. A metaphor. But what if he was more than the boy who fell to close to the sun. Many believe Icarus fell due to his hubris but what if it was his hope, his desire.
Basically Icarus falls for Apollo.

Sing, Oh Goddess by Genesister (papirini)

Summary
Keith, a trader from a river on the edge of civilization, is captured and sold into slavery, ending up in the heart of one of the great kingdoms of antiquity, the Keft of King Minos. His ultimate destiny: to be tossed into the legendary Labyrinth, located inside a mountain on an island archipelago called Qhera. Alongside seven youths and seven maidens offered in tribute from a backwater city, he is expected to meet his end-and, if he's especially unlucky, the Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull abomination said to eat human flesh.
But nothing about the Labyrinth, or it's legendary monster, is what it seems. Keith himself bears a burden that may ruin those who get too close to him. And no one has accounted for the the role the gods might play in the events about to unfold-for in the center of Qhera's waters lies a terrible secret that will change the world, and those who live to tell the tale, forever.

Summary
The sun is not a monster yet.
It is warmth.It touches his face the way kindness does when you've gone too long without it—so gently you almost cry. His body learns a new language: lift, stretch, breath without counting the seconds. He laughs.
(Or, the body remembers how to fall long before the mind admits it.)

Summary
They fly as one for a while, father and son.
However, after an hour of slow, controlled wingbeats, Icarus' ambition takes over.
He starts to climb slowly, at first just a few feet.
Icarus reaches toward the sun, stretching his hands out to feel the heat on his fingers.
He ignores his fathers desperate cries ringing through the sky.or
Icarus is excited to escape the tower he has been living in and see the outside world. Instead, he falls to his doom, and Daedalus is forced to watch.
