Losing a wing as a Pegasus can be tough, and losing your parents at the same time? It would be enough to break just about anypony. Icarus has hope though, hope that he can do better. Hope that he can find a way to fly again. Hope to have not a foster family, but a real family. Though things do not go the way he wants them to. He runs into somepony that you'd least expect to be his father figure. Hopefully said father figure can handle the emotions of a nosy 18yr old colt.
There will always be someone for you, in the most unlikely of places sometimes. So do not feel you are alone, there is more for you than you know. <3
*There will be a lil bit of Romance in this too. not enough tag space :3
*Art was acquire with the help of Nonnyadict

Daddy Sombra
An interesting idea and i always apprechiate a good sombra Story.
I can kinda relate to icarus. Pardon, old habit
That was nice!
Considering they got spotted, i could only imagine the outskirts of Equestria. Nice work by the way.
Eager to see how this continues. I hope though my comments arent too much.

If you like to hear more, be my guest
This story drew me in from the second I read the first sentence! Seeing Sombra with a soft side is awesome. Keep up the good work!

Okay, eager about it
Does this story take place in the Sombra timeline shown in The Cutie Re-Mark Part 1?

Not quite, there's no war here. The only difference in this stories timeline would be that Sombra wasn't banished to ether. He ended being believed to be banished, until Icarus happened to stumble upon him hiding in the mountains. Sombra was on a self-imposed isolation, he wasn't trying to lose more than half his horn this time
Very nice and interesting spell idea for sombra.
Icarus being used like that, i can relate to that.
lovly!
nicely< done!
???: hey! Another pegasus like me!
...well i got my wing sliced off by someone but hey its nice
That may be the most beautiful cover art I've seen on Fimfic. Plus, the story sounds good. I quickly added it to my Read Later list. I'll try to get around to reading it soon.

I appreciate that! When you get around to readin this fic I hope it lives up to your expectations. <3
Well, I finally got around to reading this. I like it! I enjoy your portrayal of a reformed King Sombra. You succeeded in making Icarus a sympathetic character. I look forward to reading your version of the history between Sombra and the princesses.
Now, to point out some mistakes. Firstly, this story isn't written in Second Person, so you should remove that tag. I'd recommend reading Fimfic's writing guide, namely the part about "said tags." (Some people recommend Grammarly for new writers.) Aside from those common mistakes, and a few minor grammar issues, you did a good job writing this!
The only other thing I'll point out is that when you write single-digit numbers, like in "the 2 of them," it should be spelled out, like "the two of them."
I've moved this story from my "read later" to "favorites," and am tracking it.

First, thank you for your feedback on the story I appreciate it! Second, I'm glad you like it and I am getting my story board for this story together slowly but surely. I don't wanna botch potential good lore!

Very nice! I'm still enjoying your characterization of reformed Sombra. Love the backstory of his relationship with Luna.

Aside from nitpicking over what I mentioned in my last comment--said tags and errant capitalization, though you're getting better--the only mistake worth pointing out is this:
Millennia.
The funniest line I've read in a while:
Keep up the good work, fellow insomniac! Looking forward to the next chapter.
