PLEASE NOTE THAT SPARK HAS NOTHNG TO DO WITH PERCY JACKSON. Seventeen-year-old Icarus Olsson never really thought much about his namesake, due to the fact that his father was a Greek Mythology professor that worked at the local city university. After waking up countless times to phantom burns and fevers, Icarus didn't expect to pass out from heat exhaustion one autumn day at school and be greeted with the sight of a handsome man he swore he had seen a long time ago...in another life possibly. Seeing him every time he closed his eyes to sleep, and waking with more burns than usual, Icarus wondered if he was being lured by Apollo. Learning that he was the reincarnation of the original Icarus and the Fates had intertwined his string with Apollo's, in order for them to never be separated again, Icarus knew that he would succumb to the lure of Apollo eventually.

𝒟𝒾𝓋𝒾𝓃𝒾𝓉𝓎/-/FEM-READER X GREEK MYTHOLOGY/-/ by DragonWhiskers12

"ɪ ꜱʜɪɴᴇ ᴏɴʟʏ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪɢʜᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ɢɪᴠᴇ ᴍᴇ." The stories of the past always fascinated you. Particularly, stories about how ancient people saw the world, how they interpreted what was happening and why. This is what led you to Greek mythology. Now, you never believed in Greek mythology, or any religions to be honest. But honoring it brought comfort to you. Or maybe it was just doing weird rituals, to be honest. You were still doing weird rituals before you got into mythology. But either way, this is what led you to the incident. One moment, you are worshiping your wizard Furby that you jokingly call "The Oracle", and the next you find yourself in Mount. Olympus, home of the gods. A/N: I don't usually write straight people so we'll see how long it takes before I cave and Y/N starts crushing on all the goddesses

Journey of Odysseus by angiewanjie

The tale of a King favored by the gods, faced trials and suffering on his way home. Authors' Note I used the flow of the story using the Epic Musical and to make it at least historically accurate I referred from the Odyssey written by Homer. But this is my own original story.

Hades Doctor by Eliabeacsp

She was a piece of Heaven he wanted to own. And he, was the flames of Hell she wanted to tame. "You must be tired." The unparalleled face softens with an indulging smile, and I nod hastily like a chick pecking at grains. My reason, wisdom, and rationality became words of a foreign tongue when the fingers tangled amongst my hair trail down to my cheekbones, the caresses like the fine strokes of a paint brush that gave colour to my skin. "But next time." His eyes of hellfire narrows, reflecting the features of a iolite-eyed mortal, and crimson lips pull back over sharp canines. "I might not be as easy to tame." ■What happens when the greek god of the Underworld becomes the 'Grumpy Patient' to a kind hearted mortal, burdened by a curse untold, and a gift unrivalled.■ Slow burn ♡ Update schedule : Every 2 days ◇ #1 - Mythology, #3 - in fantasy, #4 - Humor

I Am Alexander by Chiruochiba

To the world, he was a conqueror, a king, perhaps even something divine - but to Hephaestion, he was nothing less than Alexander. In the footsteps of Achilles and his Patroclus, they were destined to ascend to legend together, for each was unwilling to live without the other. Told from Hephaestion's point of view, "I Am Alexander" chronicles a series of vignettes spanning the lifetime of Alexander the Great, imagining their hidden romance interwoven with historically accurate events. To the query, "What is friendship?" his reply was, "A single soul dwelling in two bodies." - Aristotle, Diogenes Laërtius 5.1.20

The Fall of Icarus (Book 1 in the Apollo series) by Eileos

"The wind in his hair felt nice. It was cooling against the sun and wax that had been burning his back. It reminded him of every moment he sat alone on the window ledge of Minos' tower, praying for some kind of deliverance. Yet, it also reminded him of every moment he sat on the window ledge next to Apollo; he remembered the feeling of Apollo's soft fingers running through his hair, he could remember the feeling of his head against Apollo's chest, listening to his heartbeat. In those moments, he almost felt human." * For a long time, Icarus thought he was alone. Until one night, the world showed him he wasn't. #1st place in the Hip Generation Awards #2nd place in the lgbt category of the Creator's Choice Awards 2020 #1st place in the Atlas Awards 2021 LGBTQ+ category

Marrying The God Of Craftsmanship! by VitoDeCeniza

I suddenly died while reading greek mythology. I know! I know! It's so cliche! I am very aware of that fact! But you're correct, I got reincarnated inside of Greek mythology. I became a forest nymph with very ordinary powers and an ordinary nymph-like face. I spend my days playing with the other nymphs or enjoying my time flattering Artemis and listening to Hera's issue with his Horny husband, Zeus. Not until the abduction happened and I met Hephaestus, the God of Craftsmanship. And one day, he suddenly knocked on my door with a very beautiful ring in his hand. He has a shy look on his face which made me a little flustered. He wants me to be his wife? But how about Aphrodite? Never mind, I accepted his ring by the way.
