Amaranthine - [ epic fanfic ]
"You were a princess. A princess behaves. So, you pressed your lips together until they were thin and pale, nodded stiffly, and let the weight of his words settle over you. Still, as the servants poured more wine and the conversation turned to other matters, you couldn't stop your mind from wandering. Somewhere across the sea, a boy you'd never met was being told that you would be his bride. Was he just as disgusted? Just as helpless? Or was he laughing with excitement, eager for the day when he could claim his prize? The thought made your cheeks burn with something that wasn't quite anger, wasn't quite embarrassment. Whatever it was, you didn't like it." --- Or, where you are betrothed to Prince Telemachus of Ithaca.Complete

What do you mean by a musical? And what in Hades is a musical
Odysseus had just gotten past that monster, and finally, his homeland was in sight. Soon, he would be able to see his Penelope and his son, Telemachus. How would they react? He hoped they would forgive him for the delay. After 20 long years of trials, he was finally about to return home. As he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he didn't notice a light engulfing him. He opened his eyes to find himself in a strange room with some kind of giant whiteboard. Looking around, his heart nearly stopped: those... were his men? Polites, Eurylochus... but how were they alive? Was this a divine illusion to bring him more suffering? Athena and Hermes were there too, as well as Circe and... Calypso. What was happening in this place? Meanwhile, in the waters near Ithaca, Poseidon was wondering why there was an empty raft floating in these waters. Epic the Musical characters react to the musical (and maybe other things)

Cursed Times - Only Yesterday! Sequel to Wattys 2015 winner!
By accident rather than design, Trueth - one of the last European witches - finds herself in an ancient Egyptian civilisation. It isn't quite what she has expected - for one thing this place is as full of magic as it is lacking in decent showers. Instead, there is evil lurking just below the surface of the Nile. Together with the friends and family she found in 'Cursed Times - What Now?', Trueth will need to embark on yet another world-saving adventure. One that hopefully does not end in a romantic shipping-wreck. From pyramids, tombs and temples - as well as a palace governed by a randy fourteen-year-old Pharaoh - her journey will ultimately take her to the mists of the North and towards her people. With or without a man at her side. 'Only Yesterday' can be read as standalone adventure novel, or as part of the 'Cursed Times' Series. Warning: In 'Cursed Times - What Now?' all you needed was popcorn. Now you need something stronger - much stronger! === Copyright information, given the recent acts of content piracy: All copyrights of the texts are mine exclusively.
