Untouched One-shot competition

This 1-part story is dedicated to @_nymphomaniac for inspiring me with her absolutely beautiful story, which moved me to tears. It is my submission for the 'Untouched' writing contest. "Ariel," he mumbled...tossing and turning in his sleep. "Ariel..." Ares jolted awake from his restless slumber, from his tossing and turning and thrashing, his entire body drenched, covered in a thin layer of sweat. His lip trembled as the images from his dream crashed into the forefront of his memory like a tidal wave, and he groaned as he tried to chase the images of him making sweet to Ariel, but if anything they only got more persistent, the focus sharpening in his foggy sleep-deprived mind and ridding him of the little piece he had.

♦ Can fate be challenged... when one is destined to be cursed? ♦ Vera Lockhaven has been the gossip of town lately, seeing as she is still not married and turning into a 'spinster'. But Vera doesn't care about gossip, or of what they might think of her; she simply wants to do what she wants, even though she has to keep her secret hidden... But what happens, when she stumbles across a wickedly handsome man in the forest, who is keen on making her his? Love blossoms... but behind that love... lies danger... ~ ~ Vera and Edmund's love story ~ ~ [ Untouched Contest ]

According to Myth, the Trojan war was caused by the kidnapping of the most beautiful woman on earth, Helen. Her husband, Menelaus, and his power hungry brother, Agamemnon, sailed across the Aegean Sea to wage war against the Trojan and take Helen back to Sparta. But no one knows of the fierce and undying love between Helen and the god of war, Ares. So what happens when, 3000 years later, Helen is reincarnated by the Fates without Ares' knowledge? Will they be able to finally be together or will history repeat itself? Ares won't allow Helen to push him away again, but Helen can't accept him for two reasons. One, she is already betrothed to Markos - who is keeping her family captive until she says I do - and two, Ares was the one to kill her in one of her previous lives. How could she trust him? What will happen when Helen returns to New York to marry Markos knowing about her history with Ares, her once forgotten love for the god returning more and more with each passing day?

OK this is another one shot for the competition conducted by _nymphomaniac for her story Untouched.

They have been alive for centuries. But there has always been immortals older and stronger. Immortals whose very existence is known to few. They call themselves the Celestials or devas. The Olympians have always had a huge ego but it's time for them to finally accept their faults for the sake of peace and prosperity. The question is will the Celestials listen? ---------------------------------- A Hindu gods crossover with the Greek gods. Set before the events of Untouched Hope you guys enjoy this.
