Demigod Tales by josephelou

When Hera and Zeus take over Hospitium, my village, and hold captive my mother Athena and the rest of the gods, my curious instinct pushes me further. There must be something I can do. And there is. Hera chooses to send me on a mission along with my brother and a couple of friends, a mission in which "one will disappear, one will die, and one will never come back."

ICARUS FALLS by MatchaTeaLeaf

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)

The Forbidden Rhapsody by Al_R_Arce

You think you know all the stories: the names of Kings and the faces of Gods. You re-enacted the battles in child's play and imagined the monsters that made you sweat cold at night. Yet these fantasies were but shadows gasping in the darkness - distorted, fragmented memories forbidden by the Gods. The time has come to unveil the age of heroes and creatures, when defiance for the sake of glory or love left trails of ruin and waste. It was the age when minds awakened from the shadows of Olympus to face the retribution of the Gods, and Earth was the playground of the immortals.

Zeus [Book One] - Rewriting by madarains

a/n: I will begin to edit 'Zeus' at some point, but updates will be slow as I am a student in my final year of university. I hope you'll enjoy the rework. [Book One] What would you do if your life was turned upside down? If everything you believed in was wiped completely, only to be replaced with a world that you'd never have thought was real? That's what happened to Anya. Saved by a man who is named after the God of Strength, Anya is thrust into a world of fur and claws, and is made to live with a bunch of people who seemed to take pleasure from naming their offspring after Greek gods. Yet it is not the brother who saved her who Anya falls for. One man, with a temper that could take on a fight with thunder and lightning, he's the man whose soul belongs to her, the man whose story is told in the prophets of his pack, the only one who can destroy the demons of her past. His name is Zeus.

The Fall of Icarus (Book 1 in the Apollo series) by Eileos

"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+ category
