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

Valentine II. by mammijj

Peering up at him, I can tell he knows everything. My plans to take his crown... again. To free myself of his iron grasp forever. To twist my knife into his cruel, cold heart. He knows all of it. We've long passed fear, by now. 'The Damned King in all his glory' I mock to myself again smiling ironically at my predicament, my heavy chains scraping against the cold, marble floor. "Aww", coos Valentine murderously from the dais. *--------------------------------* Warning*: This title is not for the faint of heart. Please read with caution. Sequel to Valentine I, from the 'Valentine' series. #1 Mortal - 03/30/22 #2 Interracial - 08/03/22

The Rose of Time - Completed ✔️ by Hazel_Rose_Grace

She fell through time into the arms of a legend-only to discover that love can be the most dangerous secret of all. Julia, a modern history student with a past she can't outrun, awakens in the court of Alexander the Great- as a Persian noble, trapped in a world of prophecy, power, and deception... and promised to a man she despises. As war brews and conspiracies tighten, she finds herself drawn to a brilliant warrior whose true identity could shatter everything. But in a palace where love is a liability and truth a death sentence, survival may come at the cost of her heart-and the man who holds it. Epic, emotional, and laced with danger-this is not just a journey through time, but through everything we fear to lose. What if your past and your future collided in another time? What if an unexpected love shattered every certainty you thought you had? Can love survive when the cost of silence is death-and the truth could collapse an empire?

Temple of two by sureshcarpenter156

There is a whisper of a Greek legend-the tale of Icarus, a man who fashioned wings from delicate wax and brilliant feathers. With these, he dared to become the first human to ever taste the freedom of the sky. He flew. And as he soared, he saw the Sun-not as a distant star, but as a blinding, glorious presence. The man who had become the first to see the sun this close fell in love with it, utterly unaware of his own tragic destiny. It was a destiny that, in its cruel symmetry, always makes the impossible fall in love with possibility. He flew higher still, intoxicated by the light, until the Sun's fierce, passionate heat began to melt the wax binding his feathers. He plunged, a beautiful and broken spectacle, from the sky. But here is the truth, the bitter twist: I can't blame the Sun for his death. It was the wax that betrayed him, melting under a heat that is, after all, simply common to everything. And so it is with Pranvijay's love for Mehboob. His devotion became his wax wings, allowing him to fly too close to a person-a light-that was simply available to all. Mehboob's warmth was not meant just for him, and in his singular pursuit, Pranvijay became consumed. It wasn't Pranvijay who was flawed; it was the sheer, destructive magnitude of his love that led to his fall.

Between Lions and Men by kullman

A modernized retelling of the last few books of the Iliad. History's classic war story, which is actually a love story. How deep does grief run, and what do we leave behind after we're gone? The tragic tale of Achilles' rage and loss, the great warrior and his greater fall, comes together in this nostalgic, bittersweet tale. Content Warning: grotesque violence throughout out, grief discussed at length, extended battle scenes with high levels of carnage, sexual assualt discussed. Brief sexuality, characters are stated to have had sex, nothing shown on page. Characters kiss on page. Some crude dialogue regarding a character's sexuality. A character casually mentions sex or makes sexual implications towards a partner/parnters throughout. R-level violence and language, PG-13 level sex/nudity.

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

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.
