"I have never admitted this to anyone, but my feet and wrists have seams. Some of these seams have turned grey over time, like the blade that created them. Others still remain crimson, like the wine I drank the night I committed these sins to myself. Between these seams, I hide not blood and flesh, but the truest desire I've held ever since you abandoned me. "
Cast aside by his lover, despair has gripped him and left him longing for the love-story he once lived. Even during his vacation through Italy and Greece with his three closest friends, his lust for his own demise cannot be ignored. But he is unable to end it all, as in the deepest darkness of the night, he meets a riderless horse.

Set Me As A Seal ✓
A time-traveling god. A mortal stuck in Ancient Greece. They have always been able to hear each other's thoughts, across time and space; the only problem is, they were never supposed to meet. Until they did. And it unravelled the balance of everything. ₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪ The immortal Greek god Evgenis' only job is to travel through time, making sure humanity stays on its course. This is what he was born to do. He was meant to be machine-like, cold, and detached from humanity - ready to invoke bloodshed as needed. His ability to follow through with his duty, however, is disrupted when he forms a mysterious internal bond with a mortal. You see, the Goddess of Love had a different idea for her son's future. Seeing the cruelty of the gods around her, she formed the unborn Evgenis with a secret gift: an eternal inner bond with a mortal. She chose Tharos - named for the strength of his heart - an Ancient Greek villager living an unassuming, simple life. This connection, she prayed, would keep Evgenis' moral compass and conscience strong. He would not end up like the others. No one could anticipate, though, just how powerful and disruptive this bond would grow to be. ------------------------------------------ "Set me as a seal upon your heart... for love is as strong as death." - Song of Solomon, 6:8 ------------------------------------------Complete

Hades Doctor
She was a piece of Heaven he wanted to own. And he, was the flames of Hell she wanted to tame. "You must be tired." The unparalleled face softens with an indulging smile, and I nod hastily like a chick pecking at grains. My reason, wisdom, and rationality became words of a foreign tongue when the fingers tangled amongst my hair trail down to my cheekbones, the caresses like the fine strokes of a paint brush that gave colour to my skin. "But next time." His eyes of hellfire narrows, reflecting the features of a iolite-eyed mortal, and crimson lips pull back over sharp canines. "I might not be as easy to tame." ■What happens when the greek god of the Underworld becomes the 'Grumpy Patient' to a kind hearted mortal, burdened by a curse untold, and a gift unrivalled.■ Slow burn ♡ Update schedule : Every 2 days ◇ #1 - Mythology, #3 - in fantasy, #4 - Humor
To Search For Flowers (Apollo X Hyacinthus) (Hermes X Crocus)
We've all heard of the two tales of heartbreak. Similar, but never the same. Hyacinthus. Crocus. Both turned into flowers. Both beautiful souls crushed by fate-or, well, smacked by it. (Discus, meet skull.) But what happens when fate gets bored of the ancient world... and revives them in a new one? Where discus evolved into frisbees, Olympus has Wi-Fi, and the gods still haven't figured out how to mind their own business. Reborn as Kalliste and Asiminia, the two demigoddesses struggle to fit into a world that moves too fast, laughs too loud, and doesn't believe in gods anymore. Still, each night they remember-the sun's warmth, the laughter of a trickster, and the heartbreak that made them flowers. Meanwhile, up on Olympus, two gods are losing their divine minds. Apollo's radiant calm? Gone. Hermes' chill? Evaporated. Because apparently, everyone knew about the girls' reincarnation-except them. And so begins the chaos. Do the gods find them? Do the flowers bloom again? Or will fate play its favorite game one last time-only to break every heart, mortal and divine -☀️🪻🪽⚘️-

A Wayward Arrow
A story of love, lust, and the soul. In all his years, he had done the bidding of the gods. Made matches of lust and love for whichever maiden or man or god or whichever tide of fate that one so wanted. Never had he ever shot an arrow for himself, nor had he taken anyone as his own beyond that of his bed chambers. It was always for someone else. Not that he minded. What would the God of lust do with someone once he had his fill of them? In his palace, enchanted with maids and servants, the son of Aphrodite and Ares, Eros wanted for nothing because no God, not even the mighty Zeus, dared cross him. Even the god that others feared still did not like to upset his mother or disobey her. That was till he saw Psyche and accidentally felt the full effect of his own arrow.
