(Set in ancient China) 
Isis is a young woman with a skill for killing and other... unusual talents. One night, after assassinating a guest at her friend's inn, she meets a masked man of the darkest eyes and palest skin. Someone she knows is different. His name is Thanatos, and it isn't long before she discovers his secret; he is the god of death. 

With a war raging in the Heavens and catastrophe raining on earth under the rule of Emperor Shin, Isis sets out to escape servants of the sun god and discover what she really is. Of course, Thanatos has no intention of letting her run headlong into danger on her own. The two embark on a journey to stop the war, forging a bond that will be tested by cruel and beautiful fate. But with a sinister darkness rising within Thanatos, and unfathomable magic awakening within Isis, the two will have to fight together like no one has ever witnessed before. Not even the gods. 

Everyone wants power, and they will get their hands on it by whatever means necessary.All Rights Reserved

Dead Tempted - BOOK 1 - Pomegranate Seeds by RMRayne

Lady Bronwen is murdered in a satanic ritual by twelve demon worshipers. She is sent to the Under-realm where she meets Thanatos, its handsome and charmingly demonic ruler who wants Bronwen as his eternal companion. When Bronwen refuses him, Thanatos makes the Lady a deal of her own. If she can track down all of her killers, he will release her from his possession. However, if she cannot resist his seduction, she will remain his forever. Bronwen accepts the deal, trusting herself and her moral upbringing to endure Thanatos. But, as the identity of the twelve are revealed, it becomes clear to Bronwen that she alone values her life. She desperately tries to find something to stay alive for and is forced to question her conscience, religion, social standing and above all, her womanly desires for a man she believes is the devil. ******* "You wish me to..." Bronwen tried to think of the words and decided upon the closest thing to what he was implying. "...be your wife?" Thanatos laughed and relaxed back into his chair. "Marriage is a condition invented by men as a way to claim property over one another. What I want from you is a partnership. Be mine as I shall be yours and you can have all the freedoms the mortal world denied you." "With you." It was not a question this time and Bronwen put such a disgusted tone to the words that she saw a flash of anger and hurt in Thanatos's eyes. He dropped his glass to the table and before Bronwen could blink he had pulled her chair to the side and stood in front of her, both hands on the arms of the chair, encasing her so his conspicuous body dominated her vision. The air caught in Bronwen's lungs, hot and painful. "Yes, with me," Thanatos said bitterly, his breath was cool on her lips and his eyes were level with hers. She had the sudden fear that he might kiss her.

Thanatos : The Black Dawn by Devita33

*BOOK 6 *Warning- Do Not Read if you have not read The Red Dawn first. The tale of dawn takes a dark turn as events of the past are reconstructed and unwoven. What happens if Thanatos did end up being the king of the Greek world? What happens if Nyx had won? What happens if Hecate was alive? Aurora Venerelli is thrown into a darker, more dangerous world than ever before, but this time, Death is no longer her guardian... This is an alternative version of the Red Dawn. (Again, if you have not read the Red Dawn, this book will not make much sense. I highly recommend starting with book 1, The Red Dawn. This is book 7.)

Callie and her new husband must travel between the Underworld, Earth, and Olympus to gain help from some larger-than-life gods and fix everything before it's too late.

The Man Named Death ✔ by STESLARA

"I don't know what I did to make you hate me, I haven't done anything to warrant how you ignore me! Please, just tell me!" "I'm in love with you, damn it!" He roars. "I love you so much Aphrodite, and you scare me because you are so strong and I don't want to be the one to break you!" * Aphrodite Muerte is hiding something and so is her long term crush Thanatos Amaro. Both are helplessly in love with one another and both have very different approaches on how to hide it. Love makes you do crazy things and with Aphrodite and Thanatos, it's no different. Pretending to hate Aphrodite, Thanatos manages to hide his true feelings which takes a toll on both of them. Thanatos has no idea what he's doing. Past trauma rules over Aphrodite at night causing nightmares and panic during the day. Aphrodite has no idea how to live life outside of pain. Abuse has a way of shaping people, and she's barely mended from being so broken. Both have friends that force them closer but their love might just be the reason why they end up staying together. Afterall, someone can only stay away from the person they're in love with for so long. One argument and a couple of confessions later leaves them on a confusing path that has the opportunity to be beautiful or disastrous. Love is magical but it is also savage. For Aphrodite and Thanatos, they are each other's downfalls and each others saviors. How long they last is up to them. How much they go through to get together is up to fate. In the end, will they make it or will their love end in splinters and heartache? * WARNING: Mature Content (of all sorts).

Chaos by MimixJoan

*Full Disclaimer* This story was written when I was like 13. It sucks. Stuff doesn't make sense. I was just proud of it (at the time) and wanted to share it. Isis was a S.H.I.E.L.D experiment. They were trying to recreate the super-soldier serum. No, it didn't go wrong but the new serum had some side effects. Isis now has inhuman powers. S.H.I.E.L.D let her go, thinking they had no use for her, but when Isis resurfaces years later as a government agent, Director Fury once again takes an interest in her. Recruited for the Avengers Initiative, Isis instantly makes enemies with Steven Rogers, the man she was created after. But Isis has secrets and unknown powers hidden within her. Loki and an old allie team against Isis and her new friends as they try to unlock her deepest, darkest secret. Something she likes to call Chaos.

The Gifts of Mortality by eleanorkennedy14

Just as love has many forms, a love story can be about several types of love. Beyond romantic love, there's the platonic love one has for friends. Or for a group of people different from themselves. There's the love for things and for pursuits. And there's self-love. All are different shades of love. All are worthy of being featured in a love story. Samil is at the center of this one. He's a god, the God of Festivals and the Arts. He often sits alone in the city of the gods with his music and paintings, far removed from humans. He sits in a city of gods that feels the humans have abandoned them, so the gods have abandoned humanity. At the height of this separation, a group of humans gain control over the Goddess of Death, forcing her to kill their enemies and increase their power. All of the gods, even Death's sister, keep their backs turned on humanity. Except one. Samil knows he isn't very powerful among his kind. He holds no influence or sway among them. But when he learns that the humans desperately need the immortals' help, he chooses to give it his all and do a deceptively simple thing: Help them. He befriends a human, learning about humanity through her eyes and re-examining his immortality. And as he works to help the mortals, he also helps himself. He helps himself experience love in all its shades, from friendship to self-love to, perhaps, romance. If he can stay alive long enough in his dance with Death.
