for your wings are my sanctuary (and cage)

Summary:

"Through all our sorrows and pain, I'm glad that at least, you're here by my side, my Lightbringer."

Grisha watched Zhou’s side profile for a long moment, then smiled lightly. “And you, too, my Fairy.” His wings opened wide to let Zhou snuggle close.

Feeling the warmth of the other against his body, Grisha’s wings lowered itself down to Zhou’s body like a blanket.

It felt like the safest place in this mad world of God and Divinities. And they, watching the sun set in the horizon, wouldn’t want anything less.

Or,
A retelling of a long journey in the Second Epoch, where a modern man, Zhou Mingrui, finds solace under the wings of another. Slowly building an empire from the ground up, they navigate a world of Gods and Angels where wings are a staple of divinity and humanity has long forgotten light.
