A science-fantasy romance inspired by the myths of Hades and Persephone
~~~
Twenty-year-old Kore's got her whole life ahead of her.
All she has to do now is die.
Finally of age for exposure to the pseudovirus, she's soon to be transformed and reborn as a Variant--one of those who can live freely outside of the carefully-controlled living habitat dome known as Gaia. Only then will she be able to follow through with her betrothal to King Aidoneus Hades--a man she's met just once but who makes her blood run hot. Only then may she attend the prestigious university for the newly transformed she's been daydreaming about for years.
But as her symptoms start to manifest and preparations for the wedding begin, tragedy strikes, threatening the life of Gaia dome itself.
Luckily, Kore's become a Variant the likes of which her world hasn't seen in hundreds of years...and the only one with the power to save Gaia and everyone living within it.
If she can survive her new life long enough to learn to control it, that is.

First to Rise (Excerpt)
The aliens came here for one thing, and one thing only.... Females. ( This story is only available through inkitt or galatea!!!) (some read events may apply) (check update chapter for more details!) Humans believed they were the only intelligent life to exist... that it was impossible for another species to evolve in a way where they could prevail in something as great as space travel. humans believed they were supposed to be the most technologically advanced species and the alpha predators... They were wrong. The Xandisians evolved in ways humans never could have imagined, they are natural-born killers with phenomenal strength and agility. Their kind never went through the same devolution as humans, they never lost their natural instincts to hunt, kill, or breed. With their limitless potential and monstrous strength, they faced few threats and could survive almost any threat that befall their species, almost. After an incurable sickness washes over the planet of xanadis, the majority of the female, young and elderly, and vulnerable population is all but wiped out, leaving a small portion of the male population to face the threat of extinction. With no choice but to look to the stars for a means to save their kind from complete annihilation, the xandisians set out to find a race compatible with their own. after many years and countless failed expeditions, they finally find a species that matches their base DNA on a planet called Earth. The only issue now is how humans will react.

The Tale of Hades & Persephone
This is a rewrite of my previous fan fiction "Tales of Hades and Persephone" as well as some inspiration from the original myth (and perhaps other retellings I enjoy). Hades has been alone for far too long. One day he pays a visit to Zeus and requests to marry Persephone. The King of the Gods agrees and even recommends Hades kidnap Persephone, since it's unlikely Demeter will agree to the marriage. Persephone is a young Goddess of Earth curious about the world of the mortals. She's always helping her mother Demeter, but one day while watching the mortals she wanders off only to fun into a handsome stranger. After a brief conversation, Persephone finds herself swept away to the Underworld. Will Hades manage to get Persephone to fall in love with him? What will Demeter do when she discovers her daughter is missing and it's all Zeus' fault? Will the mortals be able to survive the wrath of the Gods?Complete

Empire Rising
A war hero in search of safety for everything she loves, and the man who would forsake the universe to have her with him. Humanity has a shaky membership within an intergalactic conglomeration of species and planets. Only a small portion of the population of Earth is capable of the telepathic and intelligence requirements it takes to become a full citizen and the associated higher purpose comes with the cost of oneness. The Reeva share a common ancestor with the humans from a time when the Reeva once visited the blue planet and colonized it, and they have become the ambassadors between humanity and the rest of the universe. Humanities interests are translated and conveyed by a select group of politicians to the Viceroy of Earth, a Reevan dignitary who lives in the elite colony on the moon. Maiara values her independence and resists the aptitude testing that would connect her to advancement beyond mandatory service. But after University and before she can deploy to the Corps, she is selected to attend the Reevan Gala. Viceroy Alreiks, provides representation to the Universal Council for Humanity, as a higher order species. The Gala is an event that is mathematically calculated to pair genetically beneficial matches between humans and the Reeva, though built on a framework of anonymity and consent for the human participants involved. A few hours of pleasure build a connection between them that will alter the course of the universe in years to come. Alareiks knows Maiara is the other half of his soul, but her battles will take her further from Earth and closer to the enemy than either can imagine. Please note, there is plenty of Skoosh. But there is smut in here too. It's woven into the story, but the chapters with it will have *'s on the title, so be forewarned.Complete
