a taster of an original piece I'm writing (not fanfiction)
A sort of dystopian fantasy, which will definitely include some romance.
The current premise of the book is that they never stopped sending young people into the labyrinth. The ancient Greeks dominated the world, imposing their culture worldwide, and turning the labyrinth into a form of entertainment as technology advanced and society changed.
Each year 10 teens are sent into the labyrinth to fight for their loved ones to be returned home safely, in a televised bid for survival. Friendships and romance complicate matters for the teens, as they fight their way through the dangers of ancient greek myth, as well as each other.

The God & The Shadow
"Jealous?" "Why would I be?" "Because I know your fantasies." He argued. I leaned closer to him, smelling his overwhelming scent. "And I'm appalled at how they are just that. Fantasies." He smiled and leaned closer, piercing through my eyes with the blue of his. I wanted to grab the dagger beneath my pillow and kill him already. "Are you now?" He answered, coming dangerously close to me. He brought his hand up to lift my chin, our noses touching. Gods, help me. I want nothing to do with this man. I really don't. He hates me, and I hate him. Our banter is not just banter; there's always a sense of truth in between, and that's what makes it all the more addicting. - THE GOD is the master of death and darkness.

Marrying The God Of Craftsmanship!
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.
The Retold Greek Myths | ✓
Have you ever wondered why Hades seemed so chill? Or why Gaia didn't want to destroy the gods anymore? Why Aphrodite and Hephaestus never got a divorce? In this retelling of Greek myths, Eden Hills, with some (a lot of) help from Apollo, narrates the (supposedly) true myths in place of the twisted tales you learned in sixth grade. So buckle your seatbelts, because this is going to be a long ride. * * * SPIN-OFF STANDALONE OF "THE HEROES OF OLD" SERIES. NOT A PERCY JACKSON FANFICTION I REPEAT NOT A PERCY JACKSON FANFICTION. UNEDITED FIRST DRAFT. NOTES: THIS TAKES PLACE AFTER THE TRILOGY, BUT THERE ARE NO MAJOR SPOILERS. THE SPOILERS ARE ALL OUT OF CONTEXT.Complete
