    THE APOLLO ICARUS METAPHOR

     

     

    this author is a literary genius, end of story.

     

    my comment on the final chapter:

    I. Have. So many thoughts.

    I am going FERAL for the Icarus Apollo metaphor. Cuz usually the only part of Apollo that’s addressed is the sun part, but you fit in plague and prophecy and healing and light and burning divinity all at once and it made Erwin’s character so rich. Even though the story was from Levi’s POV Erwin’s characterization was intensely complex and vivid, and that’s not an easy feat to achieve.

    And the ending???? Oh my god the ending. It was perfect. They’re safe. They’re finally, finally safe and Levi’s finally, finally welcoming that beautiful annihilation called Love (side note: I rly appreciate the realism in that he hasn’t managed to actually speak it yet—though we don’t really know what he might have said in the shower). This fic in general does an absolutely beautiful job of depicting the debilitating intensity of human emotion, those waves of undefinable, uncontrollable feeling that drown you, mentally and physically, render you completely helpless to their reign.

    And I love their relationship so much. They’re endgame, you can’t tell me otherwise. There’s just so much security and trust—true trust that comes from them both knowing that their love could destroy them both, but placing it in the other’s hands anyway. They’re two haves of the same soul—literally with the blood transfusion (you popped off with the symbolism in this piece). The utter reverence and care and devotion they have for each other, it’s religious.

    also I love the perpetuated dramatic irony that comes with Levi and Mikasa still not knowing they’re related even as the story ends.

    and to wrap it up HANJI NUMBER ONE WINGMAN LETS GOOOOOOOO I LOVE THEM

    Summary

    First, before anything, there was want.

    In one version of this story, Dean Winchester hasn't stopped moving since the day his father died. He hunts across the country but always comes back to California with the half-hearted hope of visiting Sam at Stanford, and an endless, restless, ceaseless pull to the desert.

    In one version of this story, Dean Winchester finds himself in the scorched heat of a Death Valley summer, on a hunt for a ghost. Or a purpose. Or an answer to the question that’s been tugging at his tendons for as long as he’s lived.

    In one version of this story, all Dean Winchester has ever done is want, and all Castiel has ever done is wait.

    this was a beautiful story with a beautiful setting, a beautiful mystery, a beautiful twist, and a beautiful happy ending

    when I started it, I was struck with an eldritch unease, and while the feeling kept its eldritch quality, it became happiness and awe instead

    there was something religious in the Destiel of this fic that reminded me of Vashwood’s dynamic

    Summary

    “I think we should have a garden,” Cas says.

    Dean looks up from his beer. He hasn’t had that much to drink, but Cas still has a vague look of unreality about him, a splash of living color that doesn’t fit in the bunker’s echoing stillness. Dean didn’t hear him coming. A lot of the time, Cas is so unobtrusive it feels like Dean has the bunker to himself, with Sam away.

    Dean shakes his head to clear it. “A — garden?” he repeats.

    an actually slow slow burn ft. Dean being impressively oblivious to his true feelings, everyone else seeing Destiel clear as day, and lots of plants
