Zelus (Perseus Reimagined) (BXB)
We all know the legendary tale of Perseus-the demigod, son of Zeus, and slayer of Medusa, the half-snake, half-human Gorgon. But what if I told you the story of Perseus isn't what you think? What if he didn't kill Medusa, marry Andromeda, or save her city from the Kraken? What if Perseus had a male lover from our time, the twenty-first century? Jonathan Hank, a troubled young man, can't seem to catch a break. His home is filled with misery, especially from his alcoholic father. He would've taken his own life if not for Alexander, his deceased boyfriend, who showed him that life has its bright moments. After a devastating incident at his younger sister Valerie's birthday party, Jonathan's father takes something precious from him-something that keeps the memory of Alexander alive. This loss drives Jonathan to a fateful encounter with a strange man, or perhaps something else entirely-an entity offering him a wish. A wish he never imagined he'd get, one he's longed for even before meeting Alexander. But is this stranger human? Or is there something darker at play?Complete

Heart Of Stone - Male!Medusa
A body covered by scars like your skin had been painted upon with a blade, you must find a way to heal your equally scarred heart. But how much healing can be done when the only one willing to look upon you without flinching is a monster, one you can't even look upon without chancing your own death? At least, if you knew who you were truly looking at. Because he was the last one you would have expected to find hidden upon the islands of Greece. Myths and legends weren't supposed to be real.

Hades and Persephone: A Fated Love
"You can have anything you want," He plucked the ripest for me from the tree. "Everything in my world is yours." With all of my mother's warnings, I had been afraid to eat from his table or drink his wine. These were binding things, and I would starve myself thin before Hades and I were tied together by communion. But in the light of this garden, it didn't seem as dangerous as it had in the dark. "I feel your wanting," he murmured and pressed half a pomegranate into my palm. Being in Hades's underworld for so long threatened to consume me. "Please. I shouldn't," I whispered. "Shouldn't," he repeated. "Why, Persephone? Because it is against the rule of the gods?" "No," I breathed. "If I cross this line, I don't know what will become of me." "Let me show you." ................................ 🥇#1 Retellings 🥇 #1 Kore 🏅#10 GreekComplete
The Son Of Snakes
A monster. Cursed by the gods and feared by all. Medusa, the famed gorgon which turned those to stone with one look, had lost all hope in her life when she stumbled across that crying baby. She was ready to put the abandoned child out of its misery, but she wasn't ready to get attached. He was cursed too, and she couldn't help but see herself within him. And it was with that she decided to become his mother. Growing up with his mother in a shack in the forest, Nikolas was content with their life; until suddenly everything is thrown out of order when he loses his mother. But he refuses to let go so easily. He'll go anywhere to save his mother; even into the depths of Tartarus itself. This is the legend of Nikolas, the Son of Snakes.
