Come Home
Come Home is a story by Emmitt L.T. Thatcher! They have worked on this for a year or so, and was inspired by works like:
Project Ember by 2am Animations (Capcut and YouTube)
Percy Jackson and the Olympians(and all subsequent books/series) by Rick Riordan (Books)
Greek Mythology
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis (books)
Emmitt made sure to incorporate a lot of diversity into their story, such as;
People of color
LGBTQIA+ characters
Characters with trauma/PTSD
Different body types
*Emmitt does not have PTSD and they are not a POC, nor do they claim to be either. If you have tips on how to write characters who are these things, please tell them.
Come Home is a fantasy novel with side romance and a lot of work and time put into the story making.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let's meet the characters! Feel free to ask Emmitt about any of them, they will happily answer your questions.
Tumblr media
Icarus "Russ" FLARE, 20 years old (He/him)
Russ is the main character of Come Home. He's a transgender pansexual male who has trauma from being in a war as a child. He is Clanae, a species special to Come Home, which are sort of like elves from pop culture. He is the main translator for the cast, as he knows how to read and speak both Clanae and Celvin.
Tumblr media
Jason "Jace" Notch, 23 years old (He/him)
He is one of the main characters and is Icarus' love interest for most of the book. Across the book, we will find out that Jace might not be the loving, compassionate, and kind man we know him to be. He is a gay man and he has minor PSTD from his abusive childhood. He is a Celvin, which is the name for humans in Come Home.
Tumblr media
Sera(Seh-rah) Pérez, 25 years old (She/her)
She is one of the main characters and is a sister figure to Icarus. She is a transgender lesbian female and she gets jealous easily. She was the person who took Icarus in when he had nobody. She is a Celvin.
Tumblr media
Kyre(Kai-uhr) Snowe, 26 years old (They/them)
They are one of the main characters and is Sera's love interest for most of the story. They are a nonbinary bisexual. They are a Celvin, but they are learning how to read Clanae. They are one of the least developed in the story, but Emmitt is working on writing more of them.
Tumblr media
Lacy Dexter, 32 years old (She/They)
Lacy is a side-main character and she is the commander of the Clanae army. She is a demiromantic and demisexual woman. She is Clanae and she is the oldest of the entire cast. She has mastered Clanae magic, but prefers her bow and sword.
Tumblr media
Asher Dexter, 32 years old (He/they)
Asher, like his sister Lacy, is a side-main character. He's an asexual omniromantic man. They are the second oldest and is Lacy's twin, being just a few minutes younger than her. He is a Clanae and is learning Celvin. He has mastered Clanae magic, but is the least recognized as strong. He is Kyre's best friend and Mateo's ex-partner.
Tumblr media
Mateo Raine, 30 years old (He/him)
Mateo is one of the antagonists and is Celvin, however, he understands Clanae and can read it. He has mastered Victorian Fire, the Celvin's magic, and he is an omnisexual man. Emmitt has two ways his story could go; either the main cast defeat him in some way, or he gets redeemed somehow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Emmitt is also planning on an event where you can ask the Come Home characters about themselves and how they act, etc. Again, feel free to ask about CH or it's characters if you feel so inclined!

(Icarus Ch. 4) - Dear John
Tumblr media
Pairing: Ethan Ramsey x F! MC (Olivia Anika Cohen)
Word count: 1.4k words
A/N 1: Hey guys, this is the final chapter of Icarus! I just, from the bottom of my heart, want to thank every single person who stuck with me through it all. I also want to thank my incredible beta @deliciouslydeafeningstarlight​ for putting up with me. The sequel to Icarus is already in the works! Stay tuned for updates.
Warning: ANGST
Disclaimer: PB owns characters. There’s lots of Grey’s Anatomy and Friends references.

Let me know if you’d like to be added or removed.
Song: Dear John by Taylor Swift.
“Liv, can we talk?” 
His serious expression threw her for a loop. Before she let her mind wander too far, he added “Privately.” 
Her confusion showed plainly on her face but she nodded. They moved a slight distance away from Ethan but were still in earshot.
She tried to focus her mind as he started to talk but all she could think about was if he knew of her relationship with Ethan. 
“So, what I guess I’m saying is I like you. A lot. And I’d really like to take you out.” 
The thoughts swirling in her mind stopped abruptly as he uttered that sentence. 
“I’m sorry, what?” Olivia said, a little louder than she intended to. Ethan looked towards them curiously. 
“I was saying that I like you and if the flirting, the looks in class and most importantly, the kiss are any indication, you like me too.” Tobias smirked.
This captured the entirety of Ethan’s attention. His jealousy flared up again but this time, he was absolutely sure who it was directed towards. 
“I’m sorry, Tobias. You’re one of my best friends and I think I’d like us to remain that way. I hope you understand.” Olivia said calmly.
His smirk fell upon hearing her words. Confusion and anger took its place. 
“How can you say that after everything?
The flirting...
The looks...
The kiss?!"
With each word, he took a menacing step forward and Olivia flinched away, not recognizing her friend anymore.
This drew the attention of their friends and they made their way over. Ethan, being the closest arrived promptly at Olivia’s side.
“You led me on!” His voice was tight with anger. 
With a deep breath, Olivia took a resolute step forward. “Tobias, listen to me. I was not flirting with you. We were just making fun of ridiculous pick up lines. Also, I only let you kiss me because we were playing a game. It didn’t mean anything.”
“Finally, I wasn’t looking at you in class.” 
She took another deep breath and steeled herself for what was coming. She looked at Ethan for permission and he gave her a firm nod.
“I was looking at Ethan. We're dating."
Tobias recoiled at the shock. He looked into Ethan’s eyes and that was all the proof he needed. His face hardened in anger before it melted  into a dark smile.  
“So, this is who you were leaving me for? You bailed on our plans for this bit-” 
Ethan’s fist connected with his face, driving him to the ground.  
“Don’t even think about finishing that thought.” Ethan glared at him.
Before it could get any worse, Bryce and Jackie pulled apart Ethan and Tobias.
“Walk away, Tobias.” Bryce warned him.
“Seems like this was one thing you could have mentioned when I told you how I felt about Liv.” Tobias said as he stalked off.
Olivia whirled on Ethan. “What did he mean by that?”
She took in the pained expression on Ethan’s face.
Realization dawned upon her. “You knew...”
“How could you not tell me, Ethan?”
“Rookie, he was very drunk and I didn’t think he meant much by it. I’ve known him for a long time and I’ve never seen him like this. I would have told you but it seemed like nothing at the time. I’m sorry.”
“You should have still told me, Ethan. We could have avoided all of this.”
Taking a cue, Sienna led the others back to the dorms, leaving behind only Olivia and Ethan.
“This is all too much to handle, Ethan. We’ve had enough trauma to last us a lifetime and I’m… I'm done. With all of this. 
Nothing between us is ever easy. I just want to have a normal uncomplicated life." Olivia stared at the ground.  
I think we flew too fast, too far…  
“What are you saying, Rookie?”
She looked up, her eyes glistening with tears. “I think we need to take a break.” 
“You’re right. Let’s go get some ice cream, we’ll cool off and study later.” 
“No, Ethan. A break from us.” Her voice broke and tears streamed down her face.
“I’m sorry.” She clasped his hands before walking away, leaving him standing alone.
“Don’t leave me, Rookie.” He whispered as he watched her retreating form. 
Tears spilled from his eyes as he looked down and saw a white piece of cloth she’d left in his hands. He stood there staring at his bold initials. This one thing had managed to comfort him through every low point in his life but it gave him no comfort now. 
***
In the wake of last night’s events, Olivia doubted her decisions. Her mind was being rational and practical and it said that she made the right decision. Her heart, however, made her want to go back in time and take everything back. 
She opened her eyes to the blaring of her alarm clock. She had set it so she wouldn’t miss the very important test that was scheduled. Not that it mattered anyway; she hadn’t slept a wink. A rushed breakfast later, she found herself walking down the hallways. The weight on her mind dragged her down, making it near impossible to move. 
A loud screech from the PA system jolted her awake. The speakers crackled to life as students directed their attention to the deep voice that boomed over their heads. 
“Students of Johns Hopkins, I would like to wish you the very best of luck as you take your first test of the year. Before you leave, I would like to inform everyone of an important announcement that will be taking place in the auditorium at noon. All first year med students are expected to be there after the test...” 
Deliberations and chattering ensued among the students as the Dean continued his address.
Olivia, like every other student, had the same question on her mind.
“What could that announcement possibly be about?”
“Just a stab in the dark…could be about Dr. Banerji putting us through a series of competitive examinations resulting in him giving away his money as a scholarship.” 
She looked around for the source of the voice and came face to face with a dark-haired figure with a smirk on his face. Something about him told her that he was not in the habit of being wrong.
“And how would you know that?” Olivia asked, eyebrows raised. 
“I have my ways.” He said with a wink.
Before Olivia could respond, they noticed that the crowd in the hallway had started to thin out. As she turned to leave, she heard him call out. 
“I didn’t quite catch your name.”
“That’s right, you didn’t.” She smirked as she walked away.
***
Seated in the exam hall, Olivia tried her best to focus on the test. But amidst the scratching of pens and shuffling of papers, she could hardly seem to hear herself think. And in those rare instances when she could, her mind kept bringing back memories of the previous night. Her thoughts were running a mile a minute.
The night flashed in her eyes and she was left with only one thought.
How could everything go so wrong so fast? 
She looked down at her papers and found drops of her tears, staining the paper. Only then did she realize that she had been crying. She hastily wiped at her eyes and fixed them on the clock.
She decided to shelve her feelings for at least another hour and turned her focus towards her papers. Time seemed to pass excruciatingly slowly, the hour seeming like five.
As soon as the examiner collected their papers, she made her way out of the door. She saw Ethan standing outside the other exam hall and stopped in her tracks.  
Their eyes met for a second, or twenty; they weren’t sure. All that stood between them was 6 feet of space. 
She ran through the infinite possibilities in her mind. 
How different would it have been if they had never studied together? 
If Tobias hadn’t asked her out? If they all hadn’t been friends? If her and Ethan hadn’t been in a relationship? If she had never come to Johns Hopkins?
If she had died instead of Mia? 
Her mind pounded with each answer. 
But they did.
But he did.
But they were.
But she did.
But she didn’t.
When she looked back up into his eyes, she could tell he was doing the same.
He gave her a sad, apologetic smile which she returned with one of her own. They gazed at each other for what seemed like an eternity until they turned and walked away in opposite directions.
A/N 2: Dear John- A letter from a woman informing her boyfriend or fiancé that she is ending their relationship or informing her husband that she wants a divorce:
Nothing is worse for a soldier's morale than getting a Dear John.
I am so sorry for everything I put you through these 4 weeks. And if you’ve gotten this far, thank you so much for reading!

ch. 188 spoilers..
k i usually don’t do this but i just read the new chapter & i wanted to note that it’s really bugging me that i can’t seem to predict the outcome of this enji vs nomu fight.. one part of me believes that he’ll pull through but another part wonders if he’ll die.. or at the very least, maybe this will be the end to his hero work?
during the fight with the nomu, enji is very reflective on his life. on how he’s lived, how he’s treated his family.. additionally, each member of the todoroki family (not including the mystery 4th todoroki brother) and toshinori and aizawa all get premonitions about enji - the moment he’s struck
Tumblr media
i mean.. look at this. horikoshi dedicated an entire two pages to these bad gut feelings. he gave shouto almost half a page to himself.. also note how shouto instinctively flames up a bit when he sees this happen. enji was abusive and shitty but he’s his dad. healthy or not, there’s obviously a connection
Tumblr media
also notice aizawa’s dad mode activated?! going to check on shouto?? and protecting eri??? a sweet man
now getting into the symbolism i really wanted to focus on... enji’s downfall (?) resembles the death of a star. simply put, when a big star runs out of fuel, it expands to into a red giant. the dying star gets absolutely enormous. it burns out other fuels from anywhere it can before finally blowing themselves apart, resulting in a major explosion... the supernova shines extraordinarily bright for a while and then.. poof. fades..
note: we’ve all been comparing hawks to icarus but totally missed the part where enji’s resembling a star?? just..... wow
okay getting back to it..
enji has been no. 1 hero for quite some time now. so let’s call that his star phase. when you consider his personality (arrogance mixed with flared emotions) you could say enji is full of hot air lol. air is just a mixture of atmospheric gases and a star is just a big ball of gas.. just casually shining, no impending doom or end or anything. 
now let’s jump to the present arc. we’ve seen him struggling against this nomu, this is his big fight. he’s sort’ve gone from his star phase to becoming a red giant
so here we see enji call his upcoming attack a finishing blow. for him or the nomu?? hm. okay, then we see him note that he’s beginning to overwork himself. he’s getting desperate, so he’s pulling things he usually wouldn’t. sort of like a dying star, grabbing fuel from anywhere they can, just to keep burning
Tumblr media
and here it comes
Tumblr media
in the above page, that’s where i really noticed the star parallelism. like. enji looks like an exploding star there. it’s like his supernova phase, he’s so bright, he’s outshining everything around him
Tumblr media
only to fade so soon...

Lacy and Sera have these fights regularly and poor Russ had to translate all of them before Lacy knew how to speak Celvin

how did you come up with Come Home?
It's a long story.
So I was watching The Matrix with my family and kinda spaced out thinking abt steampunk shit for some reason and then I was like "The Matrix... BUT STEAMPUNK" and so that was the base of it. It was originally named Icarus after our favorite little one-eyed best boi and it was going to be a web comic originally. There was gonna be a bunny that was alive but also made of metal, Victoria(the first evil Celvin) was gonna be Mateo's mom, Mateo's name was Entrie, and Lacy and Asher didn't exist. I honestly don't know how it got this complicated and stuff but it was a very fun journey. Most of it is influenced by Greek Myths, and I got some of the elements or little details from some of the things I watch and read. JACE IS NOT NAMED AFTER JASON GRACE, BTW. THIS WAS BEFORE I EVEN KNEW GRACE EXISTED.
TL;DR: A lot of building off of random ideas, names, places, and details.
If you wanna see some photos of original concept art and notes, I have some! I don't have a lot, bc I mostly came up with it in my head and haven't written it all down but yeah :33

do you have any scenes, or ideas you can't wait ti write about? Cab you give is a little hint about it?
So there's a few scenes I wanna write about specifically
Theres one scene that is the reason it's called come home, where Icarus realizes that Jason was his home, and now he's gone. Out of reach
The scenes where Sera is super jealous of Lacy. In the future, they become slay girly besties(kinda) but Sera is super envious at first
When Jace goes insane. I don't know exactly how I'll write it but it'll happen!
Kyre and Asher being sillies
Some sibling bonding moments for Russ and Sera
Sera and Kyre falling in love, Jace and Russ falling in love, and some of the memories Asher has of Mateo
Whatever scenes Mateo is in, bc I don't have a lotta lore for him yet
Any time Lacy mentions Russ' mom. Lacy was infatuated by that woman, sooo
Idk how but I'm gonna write about The Great War(the thing that caused Russ to lose his eye, Russ' mom to die, and Jace to get most of his ptsd)
FIGHTING/WAR/DEATH :DD
Scenes that Victorian Fire or Clanae Magic is a main point. It'll be cool to write it

Who is your favorite character, and why?
Probably either Sera or Jace. Russ was based off of me in some ways, but Jace is the most fleshed out and Sera is js a boss girl. 🤷
