I'm so glad I saw the last episode so I actually understand some of this :) I love the way you describe the characters and the way they weave around each other on the ship. Most of all I love how Icarus realises what is important to him and just what he would do for it. Very well done.

I'm so glad I saw it so I could write this! :D Thank you very much. This turned out way angstier than intended but then again the show didn't leave anyone in a very happy/easy place... I think Icarus' morals are far more flexible than Pythagoras'.

[pushkin666]

I think you're definitely correct about the morals that Icarus has, or doesn't :)

[kat_lair]

It just felt like the main reason Icarus was upset over his betrayal was not the act itself but how it affected his relationship with Pythagoras.

Lol! That's one way of putting it!

Also, this fic would not leave me alone, I had to come back and re-read it (and rec it on tumblr), and now I think it's given me a fic bunny. Considering how much else is on my fandom to-do list right now, I'm still trying to decide whether this is a good thing! :-)

Heh. Pythagoras is an idealist. Icarus is a pragmatist.

Thank you very much for the rec, how awesome! And how wonderful to hear that something of this has stuck with you. I won't apologise for unintentionally breeding fic bunnies because I'm not sorry at all :D Tell me more about this bunny of yours!
