    Summary

    "Martin doesn’t know how it’s been ten years. How they’ve arrived at the summer before Jon goes to uni and Martin stays and rots in this horrible town of theirs. It’s a summer of mourning, he’s been Icarus for a decade and now he’s finally plummeting to the ocean. The sun, Jon, was never going to kill him. It was always going to be the life he would have to eventually live without him. He’s grown too attached, too intertwined."

    or, jon and martin grow up together and when jon goes to uni everything falls apart and then comes back together again. including sad poetry, punk cafes, self-discovery, and falling in love twelve hundred different times.

    Summary

    “Martin,” Jon says, frail. Martin blinks, a flick of lashes, glazing his eyes gold in the low light. Jon squeezes his hands. “This- this might be the last—”

    “Oh, come on,” Martin huffs, dropping his eyes. “Jon- don’t— Don’t.”

    “Don’t what?”

    “Don’t-” Martin bites his lip, but not before Jon’s seen it quiver. The patchy hair dusting his neck—would it be prickly against Jon’s skin?—undulates, throat in turmoil beneath.

    “Come on,” Martin says again, a plea.

    Jon closes his eyes, and the energy in his body buzzes all the brighter. He furrows his brow. Exhales. “So, I waited too long.”

    Sudden and sharp, Martin’s hands clench. It startles Jon’s eyes open.

    “Of course not,” Martin says, a rush. “God, I just—” he laughs, utterly vacant of joy, “it’s just- it’s shit timing, isn’t it?”

    Summary

    Martin knows how he should feel about his lot in life—terrible. He should feel terrible.

    After all, he’s trapped in a dungeon with a hungry god who will one day eat him, regardless of how either of them feel about the prospect. Martin should feel terrified and miserable as he’s slowly fattened up for the big event. He should be clawing at the walls, desperate to escape.

    There’s also quite a few things he shouldn’t be doing. He shouldn’t feel sorry for the god; he shouldn’t find him oddly sweet; he shouldn’t want to feed him.

    He should not agree when the god offers to play into his most humiliating fetishes in order to make him feel better about his impending death. (Even if he did agree, it definitely shouldn’t work.)

    And most of all, definitely he shouldn’t fall in love with the divine being that’s going to gobble him up whole. That wouldn’t make any sense at all.
