This is the year she's supposed to pick a suitor and take over her mothers rule. Except ruling is the last thing Scylla wants. So here's the plan. If she picks a mer, so despicable, so innapropriate and daft he could not possibly rule by her side, her mother would have no choice but to deny her chosen mate. Conveniently Scylla in her 'heartbroken' state, would buy herself another year of respit.
Charybdis the sea hag has a plan. Desguise himself as a strapping young Mer. Infiltrate the yearly gathering and win the affections of the new matron to be. Such power should not be in the hands of a snot nosed brat anyway. No. He'd be a much better leader than she could ever be. All that was left is to work his charms...

The Sun Doesn't Bite, But I Do(Solangelo)(Vampire×Werewolf)(COMPLETED)
(I did get this idea from the Wattpad Original Bite Me which is also now a webtoon comic called Love Bites. So the only thing I plan to use from said book is that Werewolf blood is desirable to Vampires and the fated mates thing. Also a feud between the Werewolves and Vampires which is obvious in any supernatural book. But I'm still giving the author of Bite Me the credit for this idea. Also, I found out they love PJO specifically Solangelo so woo!) Nico di Angelo comes from a very long line of Vampires, his father was the head of one of the largest covens, after the death of his sister. He was the next heir. He didn't want to be the heir. Hell, he didn't even want to be a vampire. But you can't help what you were born into... He was attending a University with his cousins Percy and Jason and his best friend Leo when a guy Nico had never seen before ran into his life at the University capturing much attention. He had tan skin with freckles, a mop of golden, curly, blond hair. Not to mention the brightest smile. Nico immediately felt drawn to him but what's worse... to his blood. He did everything he could to avoid him but that's when he got the news... Werewolves were back in Manhattan...Complete

Placed during very beginning of Blood of Olympus/ between House of Hades and Blood of Olympus at the beginning. Then it switches to the end of Blood of Olympus. This is a solangelo story line. If you have not read Blood of Olympus, or do not ship solangelo, then I kindly ask you to reconsider your life choices. And then go do those things. I tried to stay true to the characters, I really truly did. If you're reading and you think I did something wrong, please let me know (but. you know. kindly.). This is also still a first draft, so you know, it's not perfect. All rights go to Rick Riordan the troll who stoll (geddit?) my life. The first chapter is based on a some fanart (it was a cartoon) I read but the rest are my own ideas. Also, the original image on the cover is not something I drew (I wish). It's Viria's. And then the whole idea for that cover belongs to xNoMusicNoLifeComplete
