Summary
Icarus fell to the ground with nothing but a hint of the Sun's burning kiss.
Harry fell into hell having never even having seen the grace of the burning hands of Heaven.
He never got to hold it, to touch it. Nor did he ever reach far enough to even be considered it's equal. But oh, if its kiss did not burn. How the sun's love burned his skin and boiled his blood, how it's heat ripped at his flesh and teeth and the loving caress of fiery burns peppered his previously pure skin. He had been untouched, as gentle and as smooth as snow, unblemished on the mountain.
He was forever tainted now, scarred and ugly - never to be held or courted. No longer beautiful. But what could be more loving, more beautiful - than the sun's burning kiss? But whatever scars he may have burned into his soul, Harry always thought he had preferred a rough touch to a careful one, but what does a monster know if not it's own making?
The fire was the only home he ever had, he wouldn't leave it behind. It didn't matter if he was scattered with 3rd degree burns, or that all he was good for was kindling the flames. What kind of kindling would he be if he didn't bow in utter devotion to his master.
