From Geneology to war - A compendium of Greek Mythology
A helpful guide to Greek mythology including the primordials, titans, gods, goddesses, monsters, heroes and more! Things to note about this story is that since I'm writing about real historical mythology, there is of course many, many, different variations, retellings and plots in existence for each one of the myths so I will do my best to comment on and add in variations when necessary, though in some cases I may just stick with the most common, my favorite or the most historically accurate depictions! "If this is just the original myths can't I just go on Theoi?" Well I try to recount all of the myths in an accurate but easy to understand way, which is quite difficult other places, though if you have any questions about anything, please just ask!!
Tempting the Fates
What if mythology isn't a myth? Callie Prescott has the rest of her life planned out: get into med school, become a heart surgeon, and heal the world. But when her long-lost mom reappears and she learns the truth about who she really is, Callie must give up everything - her dreams, her dad, and her future - to be the wife of Hades, the God of the Underworld. Callie is surprised to find that her new kingdom isn't what she imagined, and neither are those who call it home. Callie wants to be bitter, but she cannot understand why this man - this god - sparks a desire in her that she has never felt before. But all is not well in the Underworld. Someone is after Hades' throne, and they want to open Tartarus once and for all. Callie and her new husband must travel between the Underworld, Earth, and Olympus to gain help from some larger-than-life gods and fix everything before it's too late. The balance of life and death depends on it. Can Callie fulfill her destiny, or is she just tempting the Fates? *BOOK ONE in the Tempting the Fates series* ----- 🥇 #1 in "Goddess" - 12/31/2021 🥇 #1 in "Persephone" - 7/30/2021 🥇 #1 in "Aphrodite" - 10/2/2020 🥇 #1 in "Eros" - 7/14/2021 🥇 #1 in "Greek" - 12/31/2021 🥇 #1 in "Mythology" - 4/6/2022 🥇 #1 in "Hades" - 4/6/2022 ----- TW/CW: violence, death, language, sexual content.

Started With A Dare - A POTHENA STORY ✔
thank you for 61k reads 🙏 "I dare you to ask Poseidon out." That was too much for Athena. But if she doesn't do it... eternal annoyance from Aphrodite. She really would rather go out with the person she hates most than have stupid make-up on every day. "I'll do it." Athena surprised herself for saying so. But there's no turning back. "Poseidon..." (I do not own the gods, they are from Greek Mythology. I also do not own Percy Jackson or any other PJO characters mentioned, they belong to the all mighty Uncle Rick Riordan. If you haven't read Percy Jackson yet, GET OUTTA HERE lol just kidding I ain't that mean) YAYAYAYAYAYAY WE HIT 4K READS GUYS! This is crazy awesome. Hope this story can soar even higher. Thank you for reading! :D 7K! THAT WAS SO FAST. Thanksssss Art credit: from the official Rick Riordan website at the 'Which godly parent do you have?' quizComplete

One Bite ✔️ (#Wattys2017)
<Under Major Editing> One night, Hannah (Demeter) lay with the god Morpheus and when the time came, she gave birth to their daughter, Hermione (Persephone), the goddess of springtime. Draco (Hades) has been sitting in his throne room in the Underworld judging the dead and being judged by his family. One day, he had had enough and so decides to steal the one thing that everyone loved... Hermione. Do they fall in love? And if so, will war's mighty strength try to rip them apart? *Excerpt* "The irony to all of this was that neither of them was supposed to be this animalistic and passionate and yet here they are; howling at the moon, dancing around the bonfires, and making love under the stars. She was the goddess of spring time, gentle and kind, and he was the god of the underworld, silent and peaceful. Together, though, they were the king and queen of the underworld, a beautiful exodus with a beautiful beginning." Rated Mature for: language, sexual activity, violence, and a rape scene (Not Draco and Hermione). Now on Fanfiction.net and ArchiveOfOurOwnComplete
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
Ares
In a world where the whispers of the gods can be heard by those who truly listen, a young woman named Elara finds herself trapped in a cycle of unrequited love. Every morning and night, she offers heartfelt prayers to Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, yearning for her destined soulmate. But when her pleas grow too frequent and too desperate, the enchanting goddess becomes exasperated with Elara's relentless requests. In a twist of fate, Aphrodite decides to grant Elara's wish-but not in the way she expects. She summons Ares, the formidable God of War, whose tumultuous past with Aphrodite is shrouded in mystery and passion. Ares is a warrior of unmatched strength and intensity, embodying everything Elara thought she wanted, yet his presence brings with it a whirlwind of chaos and conflict. As Elara grapples with the challenge of winning Ares's heart before time runs out, she discovers that love is not merely a fairytale; it's a battleground filled with trials, tribulations, and unexpected truths. With the clock ticking and the gods watching closely, Elara must navigate her feelings for the brooding god while uncovering the depth of her own strength and desires. Will she find a way to connect with Ares, or will their divine differences prove insurmountable? In this enchanting reimagining of Greek mythology, Elara learns that love is as fierce and unpredictable as the gods themselves, and sometimes, the heart's true calling comes from the most unexpected places.Complete
