binary_sunset: Elio Perlman from Call Me By Your Name wearing a bright red flower crown (elio)


Personally, hyacinths have a very special meaning for me. As a queer man, one of the first places I really felt represented in the literary canon was, of course, Greek mythology. The most well-known story of Classical queerness is the story of Apollo and Hyakinthos. If you're not familiar, Apollo is besotted with a young Spartan man named Hyakinthos. Problem is, the god of the North Wind, Boreas, is also interested in Hyakinthos and spies on him and Apollo when they're together. At some point, Hyakinthos throws a discus as hard as he can (being both a Spartan and Apollo's beloved gives him quite an arm). Boreas, in a fit of jealousy, blows the discus back towards Hyakinthos and strikes him in the head, killing him instantly. Apollo is so overwhelmed with grief that Hyakinthos' blood becomes the first hyacinth flower so that his beauty can live on. (A lot of Apollo's doomed lovers get turned into plant life. It's just A Thing, I guess.)

EDIT: As [personal profile] dr_zook pointed out, it's actually Zephyros, the west wind, who fell in love with Hyakinthos and not Boreas. I do not know why I thought this.

If you're a Percy Jackson fan, you might recognise it as the story Cupid uses to goad Nico di Angelo into coming out in The House of Hades.

Anyway, to celebrate this flower's super ancient relationship to queer men, I've decided to make some hyacinth-themed icons for a couple of canon men who like men! Everyone has canon male love interests except for Hunter, who was confirmed to be bisexual by showrunner Dana Terrance.

Summary: When Jaskier first starts his job at the Kaer Morhen Wildlife Sanctuary, he isn't quite sure what he's doing here. He's a music major, specialising in folk music. But it's a job and it pays well, so he's not going to complain.
But a new arrival at the sanctuary catches his eye: a massive white wolf with yellow eyes that reminds him of his childhood boogeyman. Is the wolf as terrifying as he seems? Or is his bark far worse than his bite? And what secrets might this odd creature be hiding?

Written for the Geraskier Midsummer Minibang!

Theresa actually introduced this one to me through her Man From UNCLE fic nuclear winter, which uses a similar premise (consider that a bonus rec for this installment). I just absolutely love it! Sirius being into muggle rock music is SUCH a great idea, and Remus is so well-written here!

Geralt chooses a male prostitute for the night. Jaskier is beautiful, intriguing and... unpredictable. Things don’t quite go according to plan.
Link
So this one was originally published as a one-shot, but the author is going back and adding some backstory as to how Jaskier ended up in this brothel, and it's SO good, y'all. Seeing Jaskier as young as 18 is such a neat change of pace, and I'm SO excited to see where this fic goes!
