I read a Tumblr post while back about Odysseus meeting and adopting the prophet Cassandra, who had been cursed so that "Nobody would believe her."
Of course, if he's going to adopt Cassandra, whom he never met in the original story... why not adopt the kid he was supposed to toss over a wall, and perhaps change the fate of what's supposed to happen along the way?
But having a seer on board is not as helpful as I (or he) thought it would be...
The goal is once again to keep everybody alive on the journey home, but the gods have different plans for Odysseus and his crew, and they may be bigger than one mortal man can handle.
Disclaimer Disclaimer: the first few chapters are not accurate. I may update it in the future to be more accurate to the original myths, but this is an AU anyway, so, take it with its grain of salt. I'm just here to have fun.

Underground Angels
After seventeen years of not quite fitting in, everything is about to change for Noel. With monsters, gods, cars and impromptu prophecies, this is the first time Noel is getting a taste of life - and maybe a little romance. Just a bit. A two part adventure of a seventeen year old seer, thrown into a new world that she has always been on the cusp of. Cover by Lovingmng - thanks so much, it's beautiful! {Just because I think I need to make it really clear -- this IS NOT a Percy Jackson fanfiction. I thought of this idea around 8 years ago, before I read Percy Jackson and I had had a class on Greek Myths and Cassandra the seer. However I also am a great lover of the Percy Jackson series. Any similarities are a coincidence of my own mind making connections to a book series I haven't read in around 3 years. So sorry if there's been any confusion, I didn't mean for there to be. I hope you enjoy the book.}Complete
The Book of History (Discontinued)
I've finally taken a break from Undertale! I know, crazy, right? Anyways, this is going to be a Percy Jackson fanfiction. I introduce quite a few OC's in this story. I suck at descriptions, so I'll give it my best shot. The world has been saved from power-hungry immortals seeking vengeance multiple times. Trouble keeps finding the small group of demigods at Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter. The world has been shaken to the core, yet mortals couldn't have been more blind. This even goes for a small group of friends that recently moved to New York. But are they really mortal? Hailey has lived in Wisconsin all her life, yet she never seems to stay in the same spot for more than a few years. She has seen every crook and cranny of the dairy state, but after an accident, she finds herself in the state of New York. She lives with her grandma in a small house in the suburbs of Manhattan. Despite all she's been through, she loves living with the one person she felt closest to, away from trouble. Until now. Beth has grown up in the Windy City and stayed there for her whole life. Her mom has decided that going to New York for vacation would be a good idea. They're now staying in a hotel close to the beautiful sights of Long Island Sound and hopes to relax. But then she sees something by the Sound. . . . Cornelius has grown up in the ghetto and has learned to be tough. He's picked up many things on the streets and has lived off his wits and strength. He has now moved to Manhattan in yet another ghetto. But will he be tough enough to face the challenges ahead? The three friends have reunited only to be whisked away by a mysterious teenager. Now, they're all they have. They will learn to work together and save the world. Who is the enemy, and will these new friends succeed? None of the characters except for my OCs belong to me. This fanfiction is purely fictional and does not relate to the original series by Rick Riordan whatsoever.Complete![Persephone Incarnate [Wattpad Prize 2014] | ✔️](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/12228220-256-k368514.jpg)
Persephone Incarnate [Wattpad Prize 2014] | ✔️
[COMPLETED - ONLY MINORLY EDITED] ******************************************************** Greek myths - true or false? They should be false, and to 16-year-old Sophie Claire, it's never crossed her mind that they aren't. Until one day in History class when her teacher spends a day on Greek mythology and something strange starts happening - her friends and classmates begin to tell myths about certain Greek deities with frightening precision. And for some reason, she's began to feel a certain affinity for Persephone, the Greek maiden who was kidnapped by Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, and forced into a marriage with him. This isn't some coincidence or freak dream, she later finds out from a host of strange individuals who claim they're from Olympus, the grandoise home of the gods themselves. She is actually a modern reincarnation of the goddess Persephone, and she's not the only one. A few of her classmates also happen to represent the gods and goddesses from popular Greek myths, and the fact that all of them are present means that something monumental is about to happen. Something like being the girl to change Persephone's future, to break the cycle of kidnapper and victim - all by passing a trial. It won't be simple, she knows, and she's not quite that eager to take it up, but from the moment she found out that she was Persephone, there was no way to back out. She should've known, however, that dealing with all powerful, immortal deities wasn't going to be easy. They've got a few secrets and personality flaws up their sleeves, and they could be deadly. More than deadly - murderous.Complete

The God-Emperor the Ten Year War
(A rewrite of the King of the Gods the Titanomachy) I remember the life I lived before this one-a life of fleeting mortality, ignorance, and helplessness. But that life ended, and in its place, I was reborn-not as a man, but as Hades, eldest son of Cronus, King of Naziru, First Throne of the Triarchs, Supreme Chief, All-Father of the gods... the architect of destiny itself. I was given a second chance to rewrite the past, to bend time and power to my will, for the Great Devourer comes-a force that will consume everything I love, every world, every life. And I will not fail. I will master all pantheons, forge empires from the bones of gods, and carve my name into history so absolute that even eternity will bend to my design. I am Hades. I am the king of all thrones, the inheritor of every divine secret, the master of life, death, and fate. The world may tremble at the shadow of my ambition, but it is my world to protect-and my enemies, even gods, will learn that I am no mere son of Cronus. I am its savior, its conqueror, and its last hope. #ReincarnationFantasy #ModernGods #MythologyReimagined #GreekMythology #TimeTravelFantasy #DarkAcademiaMythos #GodRebirth #EpicFantasy #PoliticalIntrigue #DivineDrama #FoundFamily #ProphecyAndFate #FromMortalToGod #HadesPOV #RebirthOfTheOlympians
Spliced (Book 2 in the Godling Trilogy)
---Book 2 in the Godling Trilogy ---- [COMPLETE ORIGINAL NOVEL] Lea Reclin has just saved the world, but the world doesn't know it and never will. Lea lives with the knowledge that gods and monsters are still alive and breathing. As it turns out Greek Mythology, isn't so much of a myth as it is a documentation of history. Lea who only very recently discovered that she's child of one of the long lost deities, happens to be the firstborn of Morpheus, the god of dreams. This makes her a primogentius, or rather: a prime. Godlings with further enhanced strength, speed, and stamina, Primes are as rare as they are powerful. For this reason, Lea was sent to save the world from a threat rising in the west. She succeeded, but at a cost. And now, it appears that the chaos isn't over. Before Lea gets the chance to settle back into a normal life she's jarred back into the world of the godlings. Then, after having strange monsters sicked on her, she flees back to the home of the gods only find that those monsters are much more of threat to her than any she'd faced before. The monsters, taking on traits of multiple mythological beasts, are the result of someone's experiment. Someone is taking monsters, playing with their DNA, and creating something that shouldn't exist: they're creating hybrids. -------------------------------------------------- Rated PG-13 for Intense Action Violence, Fantasy violence, Mild Language, and Mature humor ((This is an original work, not a fanfiction. It was heavily inspired by Percy Jackson and involves greek mythology in modern day. however this book will contain no copyrighted material.))Complete
