Pygmalion Stories

Kylie Baines is a college senior by day but by night she's Styles Baptiste, niece and unlikely right-hand-woman to Denis Baptiste, Long Island's public enemy number one. When Styles finds herself running the family business after Uncle Denis is arrested, the last thing she needs is a visit from high school flame Matt Tracy. Or is it? Kylie's life seems pretty normal. She's a college senior who just scored an internship with one of her favorite professors. But after the school day is over, Kylie's life is anything but ordinary. She manages her family's empire of nightclubs and oversees clandestine deals under the alias of Styles Baptiste. And the week before Thanksgiving when Kylie should be writing essays, Styles is dodging the D.A. and trying to get her uncle out of jail. On the day her uncle is arrested, the last person Kylie wants to reconnect with is Ben Carrick. He was always a good friend but he played for Team Matt back in high school and barely spoke to Kylie after she and Matt broke up. And what the hell was he doing at CSU? He didn't go there. But after a happenstance (not to mention awkward) reunion, Kylie would now be adding Ben and his fiancé Siobhan to the guest list at the Loose Moose that Saturday. Whatever. As long as Siobhan doesn't decide to extend the invitation to her twin brother Matt. But Matt does come that Saturday. And his reappearance in her life sends Kylie into a tailspin she could've never prepared for. She can handle school. She can handle running the family business. She can't handle Matt Tracy. Now Kylie has no idea who she wants to be or who she wants to be with. And even if Kylie does choose Matt, she has to get past what Matt's father, one of the most powerful men on the North Shore, did to her. Originally published in 2012. One of the first fiction successes for Kickstarter. Offered on WattPad as a celebration of the book's tenth anniversary.

The war with Gaea is over and suddenly, Aphrodite sends Leo Valdez on a quest. Will Leo succeed in finding Calypso in this "quest for love"? Author's Note: This is JUST FAN FICTION. I wrote this back on May 30, 2014, when The Blood of Olympus had not yet been released. Some of the characters are from Rick Riordan's Heroes of Olympus series, like Leo Valdez. Some are based on Greek mythology. Some are from my imagination, who you will meet as you read on. Enjoy!

Ikigai (n.) A Japanese concept with the literal translation of "a reason for being" A story in which he fell just like Pygmalion did and she caught him just like Galatea caught Pygmalion from hitting the ground of reality. This can be considered as a spin-off (in an alternative universe) to "Dying time and Ellipsism" and both of them will be written at the same time, even if "His Ikigai" may have slower updates. Enjoy!♡

Pygmalion is a play by George Bernard Shaw, named after a Greek mythological figure. It was first presented on stage to the public in 1913. In ancient Greek mythology, Pygmalion fell in love with one of his sculptures, which then came to life. The general idea of that myth was a popular subject for Victorian era English playwrights, including one of Shaw's influences, W. S. Gilbert. Shaw would also have been familiar with the burlesque version, Galatea, or Pygmalion Reversed. Shaw's play has been adapted numerous times, most notably as the musical 'My Fair Lady' and its film version.

Pygmalion is a greek whose had too many broken relationships, he decided to build a beauty of his type, little does he know that Aphrodite will grant him his love to life... if only it was true
