Fics like with the roar of the fire, my heart rose to its feet

Through the dark of the room – what time was it? – he saw Telemachus bring his hands together, cupping them as if to hold water. For a moment, Odysseus could only blink in sleep-deprived confusion as nothing happened, and then – light. A small, controlled flame flickered to life between his son’s palms, deep red like the last cinders of their family hearth. It danced between his fingers, as gentle as the low-tide waves that lapped against their shores, and illuminated Telemachus’s honey coloured eyes with gold as they blinked up at him eagerly. A warmth entirely separated from the physical fire in front of him bloomed in his chest. Odysseus pulled his son forward and pressed a kiss against the top of his head like it could convey even a fraction of the love that ravaged him.
