was it my fault? for loving what couldn’t be reached? many people would say that it was all a tragedy. but i knew the agony i would face, i knew i would burn. yet i let you reduce me to ashes. melt my WINGS to my flesh. how could a mere human ever fly so hard by a god? the great apollo, high on his golden throne, gifted me with wings to reach for the daystar- but they were too frail, too fragile, they weren’t meant to bear your splendor. thus the strings loosened, feathers floated, fiercely burning, and melted wax scorched my skin, to forever display my pride. you never meant to hurt me, but there was nothing you could do. so you watched helplessly as i fell, fell, fell, fell into the unforgiving deep. gods called it arrogance, but I was not afraid. no, i laughed the whole way down. because even for second, my fingerprints met the sun’s, and as for all u have fallen, still i flew. flying, failing, falling.

greek tragedy

chasertiff:

chasertiff:
James and Lily have been dating for a couple months. It’s like their fifth fight and Lily cannot believe James and she says “are you–” but she catches herself and knows better than to say “serious” because he will make a joke about Sirius so she quick edits to “are you kidding” and he says, without paying attention “he’s Sirius, I’m james” and then he realizes his mistake and he’s not sure if he wants to marry her for knowing him so well or breakup with her because she doesn’t appreciate his puns
In their seventh fight James is pissed to high heaven at Lily for missing his Quidditch match which he did awesome at and yeah she feels a little guilty but she can’t help it that she’s a prefect and if a third year girl is crying and needs a walk to the infirmary lily is gonna help her and James says “you chose a 13-year-old girl over me? Are you serious rn?”
And without missing a beat lily says “he’s Sirius, I’m lily.”
And the entire common room goes quiet like everyone in a fucking dead hush and sirius, years later, tells the story at their wedding as “that was the moment I gave James my blessing to propose”
