Mature
She wanted no husband, no children.  And so, she dedicated herself to him.  They came to an unusual arrangement, and he granted her a great gift.  But a beautiful woman--some would later call her the most beautiful woman in the world--would shatter Cassandra's peace.  Sometimes, seeing the arrow will not help you dodge its course.  Sometimes, seeing the arrow is worse than its strike.  

A shorter, sexier version of the Iliad, from the perspective of the doomed Cassandra, Trojan princess and servant of Apollo.

Honeyed Storm: The Epic of (Name)" by spiraltears
29 parts Complete Mature
In the age of heroes, gods, and war, the world forgot her name. Born under a bleeding moon, (Name) was the divine child of Nyx, goddess of night, and Aether, god of upper air and light-an impossible union never meant to happen. To hide the shame of their union, the gods misplaced her thread in the Loom of Fate. She was cast down to the mortal world, raised in the shadows as a girl with eyes like galaxies and power she never asked for. But fate doesn't forget. It waits. It obsesses. As a young woman, she marries Odysseus and Penelope in secret-three hearts bound in a rare and sacred union. When war calls Odysseus to Troy, (Name) defies every expectation and joins him, setting sail as his equal, his protector, and unknowingly, the object of everyone's unraveling. On this journey, (Name) becomes the eye of a storm she never meant to summon: • Gods fall in love with her. And not gently. • Demigods chase her like moths to divine flame. • Monsters let her live when they should have killed. • Penelope, back in Ithaca, becomes possessive and wrathful in her longing. • Odysseus loses battles from jealousy alone, afraid someone will touch what's his. Even the world itself seems to shift toward her: Islands tilt. Winds wail. The stars blink in rhythm with her breath. As the crew dwindles-not from war, but from obsession-fueled madness-(Name) begins to uncover the truth: The gods are not simply in love. They are desperate. The Loom of Fate has started unraveling because her misplaced thread has warped destiny itself. If she doesn't confront her origins... If she doesn't choose what she wants... The world may rip itself apart trying to possess her.

The Eclipse Prophecy (Apollo)

12 parts Ongoing Mature

Saving Olympus is hard enough when your best hero is missing and a Godkiller is stalking immortals. Add in one extremely persistent sun god, a fake marriage, and a 4,000-year-old prophecy Apollo has definitely not been obsessing over, and things get complicated fast. Or: Apollo learns that waiting millennia for your fated soulmate is one thing. Convincing her to actually fall in love with you? That's another story entirely. Fake marriages, bad flirting, ancient prophecies, and one very determined sun god who refuses to stop being a wife guy.
