Sailor Aether


Resident insomniac enjoying what he does

T

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

why dont ya tell us whats on ur mind :moustache:

An interesting idea and i always apprechiate a good sombra Story.

I can kinda relate to icarus. Pardon, old habit

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.

Your kind words and interaction with my work will never be too much! Thank you sincerely for reading and I look forward to doing more of this!

11757708
hope so, i just had bad experience with this in the past.

as for what i meant with relate, if i may, i got an OC with a simila<rt condition as him and there was once the idea of him meeting a kind Sombra too

11757712
Great minds think alike my friend! All are welcome here mate so dw :D

11757717
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!

Nice cameo of fleur! And did I see right celestia Supports sombra?

Does this story take place in the Sombra timeline shown in The Cutie Re-Mark Part 1?

11761008
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 :twilightblush:

Very nice and interesting spell idea for sombra.

Icarus being used like that, i can relate to that.

???: 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. :yay:

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.

11828478
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!

nice to see this updated, surpring potrayl of fancy, given how he is usually the polite gentlecolt. Also

“Ah terribly sorry, I got caught up in the moment. I beg your forgiveness sir.” Sombra said sarcastically. Smirking, Sombra took an exaggerated bow making onlookers stifle laughs and giggles. Fancy having this happen one too many times stamped his foot and threw a pocket square at Icarus

i always wonder with ponies, if hooves would sound better for this, no offense

Losing a wing as a Pegasus

That makes me thing of some of my O.C.s

P.M. me if you want to see them

11853574
Thank you! This has been my favorite story to write by far :yay:

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:

Millenia flashed before my eyes as I realized how much I had scorned her, hurt her, rejected her.” the dark Unicorn continued.

Millennia.

The funniest line I've read in a while:

Twilight's jaw had hit the floor and rolled out of the castle gates.

:rainbowlaugh::derpytongue2::moustache::facehoof:
Keep up the good work, fellow insomniac! Looking forward to the next chapter.

The one time where ai art making mistakes works!
Like seriously now you can say "she only has one wing!"
Like somepony else I know

It is really funny how things work out huh :twilightsheepish:

Nicely done! I could swear you missed a coma in Celestia's dialouge but could be wrong

“Ok zat is enough, every pony into position now. Fleur go get ready, Icarus help with ze cameras,” Starry said, sighing. She figured this was enough healthy public shaming for him. Seriously, when was he going to learn to be discreet with his personal life? He is young but he should be like his father.

What makes her think that Sombra is discret regarding of his personal life? I am sure that, at least at Icarus age Sombra was even. :twilightsheepish:

11983518
I think our eccentric photographer is too smitten and is mistaking professionalism with being discreet. :rainbowlaugh:

11983562
Yeah, that could be a good explanation as well.

A very nice chapter. Looking forward to Sombra and Luna's date!

When in the show is this?

11988103
Eh, sometime during s3. Didn't think too hard on that one lol

“You caused us so much trouble and now you’re coming home. NOW!” Eloise said quietly through gritted teeth. Icarus' eyes shrank to pin pricks as the sound of his heartbeat filled his ears.

Heck no.

Wonder what she want...

The title reminds me of a quote from Supernatural said by the character Bobby Singer: 'Family don't end with blood, boy!'

I watched the hell outta that show and I'm sure somewhere subconsciously that quotes in mah brain haha
