Oooh! That was *deliciously* angsty. I like it.

Great Icarus pov. That last line... oh yes. I can see him thinking that.

[kat_lair]

Thank you very much on all accounts! This turned way angstier than I was expecting but apparently Icarus has like ~complex depths~

[clea2011]

Ooh, I enjoyed that a lot. What a great look at Icarus!

[kat_lair]

Thank you very much! It was interesting to write.

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.

That was beautiful writing! I don't know the fandom at all, and have only seen part of one epidsode of the canon, but I can still appreciate your style and imagery, etc!!

[kat_lair]

Oh thank you so much! I've only watched a few episodes, including the last one, so this was a bit hand-wavy in that regards, but I'm so pleased with your comments re style and imagery! *preens*

I stopped watching the show early season 1 so I never got to 'meet' Icarus, but I wanted to read this anyway, and I liked it a lot. Loved Icarus' inner thoughts, and especially the last line.

[kat_lair]

Yeah me too, and then I tuned back late season 2 to check out this developing relationship between Icarus and Pythagoras :D Thank you so much for taking a chance with the fic and for your lovely compliments!
