Summary
Desiree says, with a smile, with her hands clasped tight onto him, “I love you.”
“I… I love you too,” Mark says to her. They lie there with clothes shed. With her head on his chest, and she listens to the sound of his heartbeat, and it rises and it lowers. His hand holds hers tightly.
She doesn't want to look at him, doesn’t want to imagine how he says it.
She thinks of it that maybe he’s nervous, maybe he’s smiling, maybe, maybe, maybe.
The ellipsis that hangs on his I-love-yous, and the quiet pretense of it all.
.
.
.
Character study of Desiree and Mark's relationship through Des' POV, and of course, it is unresolved as it stays that way. -

Summary
“Hey, Meli. We’re not getting away with this, are we?” He spoke, stuck in this thing.
And she cannot reply, but Icarus knew what she was thinking:
You are with me, accomplices in this. I am with you.
I’ll drag you through hell, and heaven, and in between. If that’s what it takes.
Let’s get away with this. I’ll show them I’m not to be messed with.
I will not let you go, Icarus.

sparrows, weaving across time by styxstained

Summary
The Fates can always weave, and keep weaving their designs. But ultimately, the choices always stay within those defying it: The choice to love. The choice to live. The choice of defiance. The choice to question things. The choice to satiate curiosity.
Zagreus was always one to defy the Fates every chance he got. Maybe he could help his sibling do such a thing as well.
It would probably have helped - if only Chronos hadn't taken over the House.
