"You'll go somewhere else in September," she said. This meant, You will not finish your freshman year. It was April.
I nodded, mutely, and that was the end of it.

Hades Rewound (Hades Series #2)
*to be edited: please excuse any continuity errors and / or mistakes in regards the writing quality of Hades* You could say that a lot has happened to Evie Autumn over the past few years. 1. Her best friend died (kind of ) and she found out that everyone she knew were immortal-walking-on-the-earth Greek gods. 2. She fell in love with the ruler of Hell (kind of) and agreed to become his new Queen. 3. She battled jealous sea gods and scary titans; a big fight which really, all could have been avoided with a big family therapy session. Yup, life sure was calmer than it had been in a while. Not that Evie missed the chaos or anything; she totally loved sitting around all day with the love of her life, alternating between telling people how to live their afterlives and telling Hades that he really needed to educate his Disney movie knowledge. But then that serene bubble was shattered when, once again, her life was maliciously twisted out of proportion right in front of her; and on her wedding day, no less. Once again, Evie must race against the clock to save the love of her life - and the world, of course - before time runs out; but this time, the stakes are much higher. This time, it's not just the fate of the world on the line. It's Evie's heart too. [Ranked #76 in Teen Fiction on 05.10.16] [OFFICIAL HADES SEQUEL]Complete
The Star of Waning Summer
Two undefeated armies. Ten days of midnight sun. A sharpshooter with a hot temper. A strategist addicted to success. A general with a grudge. A ten million dollar purse. This paintball war is about to get epic. This book is basically an Iliad AU where it's a paintball war. So, consider this therapy for reading Song of Achilles, you're welcome. Nobody dies, it's all good fun. If you're not here to have fun then find another story. The character names are changed, but most of the major characters show up if you're looking. I realize this is not how paintball tournaments work and I don't care, it's an Iliad AU, not an accurate look at the world of paintball. Trigger/Content warnings: some profanity, teenage level crude humor, some teenage sexuality, teenagers kiss on page that's it, some brief family problems discussed, a character has amnesia and the accident causing it is discussed. A character has a prosthetic limb, this is discusssed. Some violence towards animals in that the characters hunt.Complete

At the End of the Day
[COMPLETED] "We both agreed, Apollo! We said no feelings, no attachments! You promised you wouldn't get attached." I look down at my lap in worry and shame.

I stand up from the edge of the bed and walk over to her, watching as her chest moves up and down harshly with each breath. My eyes trail over the love marks I left moments ago when we were happy to only get lost in each other's arms temporarily. She's mad at me. I never wanted her to be mad at me. "I'm sorry, baby," I whisper reaching forward to run my finger along her cheek catching the falling tear that flows down her soft skin. "You promised." She whispers. I know. "I promise I'm not attached, Blue." Too late. ••• Apollo and Blue have a few things in common.
