    Becoming A Family

    Icarus was dressed in no time. He put on dark jeans and a white shirt, with the sleeves rolled up to contentiously display his tattoos. They were going to remind his father, who didn't like them at all, that Icarus was the one calling the shots. It was his life and he did with it what he really...

    Becoming A Family

    Icarus responded with a cheeky smile to his wife's suggestion for always changing his son. "Nine out of ten is a good score. No reason to break it." he cunningly avoided her offer that would made him do all the dirty work. However, he was eager to split equally the responsibilities of...

    Becoming A Family

    Toys and gifts couldn't make up for lost time but he could spent some time, maybe tomorrow with Scarlet and built together the best Quidditch pitch. As for his son, he was too young to remember but Icarus didn't want to lose a second from his son's childhood. There were times he was considering...

    Becoming A Family

    The room's door opened and the hazel eyes he faced made his lips lift upwards. Icarus curled his hand around her waist, his grey gaze tattooing her. "I missed you so much." he breathed and leaned over and touched his lips to hers. A deceptively gentle press that, from someone else, would’ve...

    Becoming A Family

    Santorini, Greece Icarus Stratis had caught the portkey of 2 p.m (a paper coffee cup) from an abandoned parking lot in Amsterdam. He travelled along with several Dutch wizards and witches from the Netherlands where he had spent a month for business, to the island of Santorini, Greece. The...

    A tale of life and death

    His eyelids were closed against the dim light of dawn and his breathing deep and relaxed, all the muscles in his face and body were totally at peace. The creak of springs woke him up as she snuggled closer to him. He refused to open his eyes, afraid that that what they had lived under these...

    A tale of life and death

    Every muscle in his body strained to move forward, to close the sliver of distance between them as he wrapped the blanket around both of them but Elvera did it for him. He felt her head against his chest and his throat suddenly was drier than ever, knowing that he could no longer resist this...

    A tale of life and death

    Icarus managed to remove a couple more of them off his shoulders but the process and the excruciating pain was consuming most of his energy. Fortunately, Elvera appeared with a few ingredients in her hands. He looked at her hand now touching his arm and he forced a weak smile on his lips. This...

    A tale of life and death

    Icarus was struggling between conscious and unconscious but a veil of darkness was wrapping around him. He remembered that Elvera was with him there and he had to make sure she was safe. He pushed himself to open his eyes. It was a blurry image but still he could recognize the mysterious eyes...

    A tale of life and death

    The tower was just meters away. They were going to get inside. Nothing seemed that was going to turn wrong but a soft tremor beneath his feet suggested differently. While still running he looked over his shoulder to check if they were being followed. At first he noticed nothing out of place but...

    A tale of life and death

    The timing wasn't the best and Icarus couldn't stop but think he might was asking too much from her right now. At first he didn't answer. Sure he wanted to have a look and appease his doubt. In the end, Elvera made up his mind and volunteered to accompany him all the way to the tower. A soft...

    A tale of life and death

    Throughout the time Elvera was talking, Icarus remained silent while weighting the possibilities in his head and considering the different scenarios. For the most part she was right, it definitely sounded like a trap but despite the knowledge of the imminent danger, he felt it was his...

    A tale of life and death

    Icarus was feeling for her. Losing the person who had defined you and who had made you who you really are must have been unbearable. He sighed and squeezed her in his arms as if he wanted to take away her pain. He caressed her back as she explained, the words coming out of her chest heavy and...

    A tale of life and death

    It was tearing his heart apart to see Elvera like this. Icarus was already feeling culpable for her adversity ever since he had chosen to engage another woman. He thought that she really deserved some felicity in her life but fate was always playing foul games against her. He knew what meant...

    A tale of life and death

    Icarus entered inside the locker room of the Moutohora Macaws' stadium after a long and exhausting practice. He went straight for the sinks to have a look of his face on one of the mirrors. A bludger had hit him straight on the face and he wanted to see the damage it had caused. Icarus clenched...

    The Tower

    "Oh, sorry. I thought they had infested this place." he apologized as they ascended the spiral stairs. It might was the first time he had heard of using Cornish Pixies as guards. The creatures were easy to exterminate but combined with the cave's darkness could be proved a real nuisance. "You...

    The Tower

    "Nah, I'm good." he replied when she asked him if he was cold. Now that they were inside the cave, temperature was the least of his concerns. The tower looked old if not ancient and its cave couldn't be in a better condition. It was too dark to inspect if the ceiling was ready to collapse and...

    The Tower

    Icarus had heard before about the Tintagel Castle but it hadn't crossed his mind he was currently watching at it until Elvera told him so. "Who would have thought." he nodded impressed when she informed him that it was owned by her family. Icarus looked at her confused as she mentioned the tide...

    The Tower

    The mug of coffee was steaming in his hands and Icarus blew on it as he listened the Le Feys debating. He pursed his lips when he realized, he had interrupted an activity that grandaughter and grandmother were spending together. He thought of intervening and telling them he could wait them...

    The Tower

    Icarus couldn't help but admire the divination themed decoration of the place. It looked like it was drawn out of the pages of a children's fairy tale. "That would make us two about mythology." he commented as he followed Elvera out of the living room. "I can't say the same about plants. I...
