Gods, Ethereal as they are, reproduce exactly the same way as their frail corporeal counterparts, though with a few small differences.
What is to humans an innocuous, repetitive, constantly occurring event, is to gods the single-most rare Cosmic Alignment of Fate and Order that can happen.
That is to say, a god's Death is far more Common than a god's Birth.
When a god is born, their niche, or Purview, of mortal life that they will command is decided, and for a period of a few decades, they feel the need to 'stretch their wings'.
This story begins when a god of Games is born, to the Norse god Loki and another, ironic god, Ullr the Allfather, the god of the Hunt, who was the original Norse god of Games.

The Gifts of Mortality
The gods have no pity for humans and their impermanence. Why would they care for lives measured in years, when time marches into millennia for them? The immortals stay in their city. The humans remain in their parts of the world. That is until a human terrorist group gains control over the Goddess of Death, forcing her to kill their enemies and increase their power. All immortals keep their backs turned on humanity. Except Samil, the God of Festivals and the Arts. Samil knows he isn't very powerful among his kind. Or important. Or confident. Yet, when he learns that the humans are desperate, he chooses to do a deceptively simple thing: Help them. ___________________________________ @Voyageavecmoi was kind enough to write this review of my book and she described it 100x better than I ever could lol. With her permission, I'm posting it below. Also, check out her book "Flight Risk." It's a sweet and deep romance about two characters negotiating their feelings for each other while life is doing everything to tear them apart. The characters have such mature conversations and, there's no reliance on the miscommunication trope at all. I'm *obsessed.* If you enjoy intriguing fantasy novels with deep and thoughtful themes, check out 'The Gifts of Mortality' by @eleanorkennedy14 . It explores the concept of mortality and how it gives life meaning through the eyes of both gods and humans. The story follows Samil, the god of the Festivals and the Arts, who is shocked by the apathy of his fellow gods when a human terrorist group gains control over the Goddess of Death. Despite finding no support among his kind, he's determined to help the humans, which sets him down an interesting course. There are lots of great twists in this novel, and I also loved seeing how queerness was worked in throughout both the immortal and mortal realms. Samil is a sweet and refreshing character to root for who is determined to see the good in the world.Complete![The Demigod and The Originals [Book One]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/223011571-256-k196627.jpg)

Also I'll have some of the dialogue and scenes from the show, but majority will have my own spin on it. Also, this is my first fanfiction like this, so please bare with me. I will also try to update as often as I can. The werewolves will play a key part in my next book, that will be a continuation of this one.] [Completed May 2020]Complete

The Perfect Storm
Book 1 in the Fated to Die series So I died. Not exactly an accident but it's not like I can remember that fact. Now I'm being reincarnated? Cool! Let's fuck some shit up, yeah? If you wanna read about how a girl gets chosen to become the harbinger of chaos in The Vampire Diaries where all her dreams come true, this book is for you. But do not be fooled little mortal, her dreams aren't rainbows and sunshine. She's got a serious dark streak. Everything she does, is for a reason. The god who has chosen her, Seth, the Egyptian god of chaos, has plans for her. But what happens when she ends up foiling those plans and defeating a god when she used to be a lowly human. "What thy giveth, thy can also taketh away." Well, I guess it doesn't apply to her? This is my first book and I do get distracted easily so bare with me through the chapters. I don't like short books so plan for this to be long as fuck. And no detail spared, for it will be dark, it'll be evil, but most importantly bloody. I do not own The Vampire Diaries, it belongs to it's respective creators. I DO OWN MALENA. Any use or copying of my character will result in nothing cause I don't really care, just give me my credit, I did create her after all. WARNING: MATURE CONTENT. There will be smut (probably some weird smut at times cause of my imagination) and people getting killed (slaughtered, really). Also, some possible SA happening (not to or by the MC) but the other characters, so be fully warned: this aint really for children.
Doesn't Play Well With Tricksters
In this alternate universe, Loki has been exiled to Midgard when Odin sees through his disguise (Think the end of Thor, The Dark World). He is haunted by his part in the death of his adoptive mother. He has visions of her that may be her talking to him from beyond the veil of death or just his overactive guilty conscience playing tricks on him. Either way, he has promised her he will do everything he can to make up for the things he's done. Even if it takes until the end of time itself. As part of his penance, Loki is restricted to Stark Tower until such time as the team believes he is no longer a threat to the world. As it gives him the opportunity to try to keep his promise, he doesn't argue. Much. Rachael has recently acquired magic from a relative. Shortly after, she was recruited by Stark and moved into Stark Tower to help the team. It's the one place she would never have expected to encounter the God of mischief himself, who happens to be the root of the magic she doesn't trust. (Long story short, Rachael's ancestor Bridgette fell for Loki when he was on Midgard nearly four hundred years ago. Eight months after Odin ordered his sons home, Bridgette had a daughter. Skip about five years of wishing for him, and Bridgette accepts that he's not coming back. She marries and has other children. One of these later children is Rachael's ancestor. The elder child is the ancestor of Rachael's distant cousin Nicolla, who was adopted by Rachael's grandmother and raised as Rachael's aunt. Still confused? Leave a note and I'll try to clear it up for you.) Missions start to come in that force them to work together, and force her to admit he's doing what he can to make up for the destruction he's caused. At first, Rachael refuses to acknowledge the attraction she feels, but he, being the annoying godling he is, seems unable to take no (or a stiff right hook) for an answer. Contains adult language, themes, and (eventually) some sexual content (smut).Complete
A Chronicles of the Fantasia Continent
Two divine sisters tore a newborn world apart-and left mortals to decide its fate. From the Creator's dream rose Aeliana, Goddess of Dawn and order, and Nyx, Queen of Shadows and possibility. Their rivalry, once a distant celestial dance, became open war. Lesser gods chose sides. The sisters descended and forged champions: the radiant Aethra and the fearsome Umbrals-masterworks so specialized that, in some gifts, they rivaled their makers. Stars went dark. The earth split. In grief and fury, the Creator bound His daughters deep beneath the world. The land took a new name: Aethelgard-the God-Prison. But their armies fought on. Seeking balance, the Creator spent his last spark to make Humanity-creatures of compassion and cruelty, capable of mediating light and shadow, and, through discipline, of climbing toward godhood itself. Apotheosis became the ultimate mortal dream. A thousand years of uneasy peace followed. Ambition broke it. The War of a Hundred Races redrew the map in blood. From the ruins rose seven powers, with fragile city-states between them. In secret, Aethra and Umbrals manipulated the living like pieces on a board. Now the stalemate frays. Old songs stir. Hidden weapons wake. Heroes and monsters-sometimes the same-move in the dark to claim a future neither goddess could foresee. Welcome to Aethelgard, where gods are buried, mortals reach for heaven, and one choice can unmake a world.
Vikings choose your fate Book 1
AU: You are Siggy, daughter of Björn and Þorunn, born in 801 AD after the return from England where Þorunn suffered grave injury. However, as much as Björn loved you at your birth, he abandoned you after Þorunn left Kattegat to never return. She asked of Aslaug to take care of you, and left without a word. Here you are, a mere infant, cared for by a woman who only loves her youngest and neglects the other children just as much as you. This is your path, you choose where to go, and where ever fate or destiny may lead you, great adventure awaits. Note: Original Date of birth is 804 AD, however for this story I aged up Siggy to be only 1 year younger than Ivar.Complete
The nameless gods - Ivar the boneless
What if the legend of the nameless gods were true? Can there exist on earth a love so boundless that it reflects that of two deities? Ragnar, father of Ivar and his brothers, leads his children to a devastated village near Kattegat. Among the rubble of what remains of a house, little Ivar, only three years old, finds a baby girl still wrapped in swaddling clothes. She is taken to Kattegat, where she will grow up with the sons of Ragnar Lothbrok. But what fate awaits Ivar and the baby? Two best friends, bound by deep feelings, find themselves torn apart by betrayal: he betrays her, and she flees, helped by someone very close to Ivar. After years of absence, she returns with a new identity, new alliances and...two twin sons (All characters are by the original creators, except Tyra and others I will introduce. Not everything will follow the "Vikings" series faithfully.) I was persuaded to write this story because there are so few complete stories about Ivar, and none of them are exactly how I would like to read them. Although many are wonderful.
