After the fall of Cronus and the Titans, Greece has become one of the most advanced nations in the ancient world, modernizing at a rate hitherto unseen, thanks in no small part to The Olympians whose influence has sparked the Olympian Generation of Greece. But as Greece enters this new generation of modernity, many humans both good and bad are now finding that they can be the heroes of their own stories, and that they don't always need the Olympians to solve everything. For years the Olympians have run things unopposed but now will have to face the new challenges of a new world that they helped create.Complete

The Fall of Icarus (Book 1 in the Apollo series)
"The wind in his hair felt nice. It was cooling against the sun and wax that had been burning his back. It reminded him of every moment he sat alone on the window ledge of Minos' tower, praying for some kind of deliverance. Yet, it also reminded him of every moment he sat on the window ledge next to Apollo; he remembered the feeling of Apollo's soft fingers running through his hair, he could remember the feeling of his head against Apollo's chest, listening to his heartbeat. In those moments, he almost felt human." * For a long time, Icarus thought he was alone. Until one night, the world showed him he wasn't. #1st place in the Hip Generation Awards #2nd place in the lgbt category of the Creator's Choice Awards 2020 #1st place in the Atlas Awards 2021 LGBTQ+ categoryComplete

ICARUS FALLS
We all know how the story of Icarus goes. The son of Daedalus ignored his father's warnings and flew too close to the sun. His wings melted and he fell into the sea. Aurora Jackson was not that different from Icarus. No, she wasn't prideful, nor did she fly too close to the sun, no. She fell for the sea. She fell, and she fell 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥. (watching the movies fic)
Teenage Life Crisis
This eBook is PG-13. Mature content added. Zeus' children always made fun of him and it totally made him mad, but his wives told him that they were just children so just go with it. But when they were already in their adulthood, they still, surprisingly, act like children. So when Zeus just got really, really pissed off, he creates an immortal who has multiple powers, and its most powerful abilities are time travel and the ability to change someone or something into a different form. So Zeus orders the immortal to turn his children to teenagers and sends them to a world that is new to them. Read the story of Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Athena, Dionysus, Hermes, Hephaestus and Hebe to see if they can fit in, have good friends, find love, and if they can handle the madness of what they consider as the 'future' and what we call now as the 'present'.Complete
Danny Walker's girl.
(DISCLAIMER: I really hope writing this isn't insensitive, if you think this is disrespectful please let me know, thankyou.) what happens when the only guy you've ever loved is a Lieutenant under the command of Major Jimmy Doolittle? We met at the hospital, I was a nurse, he was a pilot. He was ordered to go off to duty anywhere in the world with a 50% chance of survival, whilst I was stuck in Hawaii as a nurse helping the critically injured. Can things really work out between 2 people who are what seems like 3 worlds apart? maybe not, but I have to try, even if it could end in heartbreak. Enjoy. (Ok so the events that are in the film will not be exactly to how I'm writing them, again please tell me if this is insensitive.)Complete
