[Fic rec] But suppose Icarus did not fly so high, by hyunghoney

[extrapenguin]

So, recently I read this wonderful canon divergence! Jin Guangyao is still his Jin Guangyao-y self, and far from moral or perfect, but the author makes his decision to not kill Nie Mingjue feel oh so IC and completely logical.
