Blind Evocation (Male!Medusa x Blind!Male!Reader) by A-Lusk

Y/n L/n had always aspired to be like one of the heroes that legends were written about. Unfortunately, no matter how much one desires something, they can't always achieve their wish. So no matter how many times Y/n tries to learn how to fight with a sword, tries to detect his enemies, or works on complicated footwork, he will never be a warrior. For he is blind. Rendered sightless from birth, and he is incapable of being a warrior at any capacity. So, it's a cruel, twisted joke when a Trickster God comes to Y/n in his dreams and tells the boy he's chosen for a divine quest. That quest, you ask? To hunt down and kill one of the most ruthless monsters that terrorizes the coastal town of Aegium. Medusa. However, there is an astounding amount of lack-of-foresight and planning - from everyone, all around (even the author). And just maybe, Y/n can be the hero he's always wanted to be. In an entirely different way, of course. _____ Preview: Not many Greek warriors entered the Gorgon's cave in such a bold, abrasive manner anymore. They especially did not wave their swords in the air wildly about their person and declare: "Why do you think I am here? I've been sent on a godly quest to defeat a tentacle monster!" "Pardon?" the Gorgon asked, surprised into speech by the (h/c) man's words. "Or maybe some kind of serpent. The gods weren't very clear on that part now that I think about it," the strange man continued, his back still turned to Medusa. ...It had been a long while since Medusa has felt this out of his depth. (Just wait until he learns that this man doesn't turn to stone). _____ Ft. Gay Medusa.

The Last Priestess (Untold Medusa Story) by Jinsiix

Medusa was never the monster they feared-only the girl they misunderstood. Living quietly in a village near Athena's temple, Medusa is devoted, sharp-minded, and driven by purpose. She dreams not of beauty or power but of becoming a priestess-serving the goddess with knowledge, healing, and faith. But when divine attention collides with mortal envy, her life takes a turn the gods never warned her about. Told from Medusa's own voice, The Last Priestess is a powerful reimagining of an ancient myth-one of quiet strength, sacrifice, and a fate rewritten.

Medusa's Flower (Book One of the Threads Between Duology) by moonlit_melancholyx

A dark romantic fantasy where myth bleeds into moonlit forests, and love dares to grow where curses take root. Medusa is a legend, feared and forgotten, hidden away in a forest steeped in shadows and ancient magic. Once mortal, now cursed, she keeps to herself-guarded by whispering spirits and venomous myths, her gaze a weapon and her heart long shuttered. Astor is not from this world-at least, not anymore. A guardian of the deep wild, with antlers crowned in moss and star-kissed eyes, she washes ashore with no memory, no name, and a pulse full of ancient power. Drawn to the haunted forest by something she can't explain, she finds herself in the arms of the very monster she's always known was waiting for her. But when fate awakens, so do old enemies. Odysseus still hunts, more desperate and dangerous than ever before. The trees whisper warnings, and the forest remembers what the world has tried to bury. As buried truths rise, and the bond between Astor and Medusa deepens, the women must unearth the roots of the curse that binds them both-and discover the kind of magic that can rewrite legends. Love was never meant to save them. But perhaps it can set them free.

Thorns of the Forgotten -(Book Two of the Threads Between Duology) by moonlit_melancholyx

The curse was broken. The gods are watching. The forest is changing-and so is she. Medusa is no longer the feared myth of old. She has tasted love, set the spirits free, and reclaimed the power that was once twisted against her. But peace is fragile, and the forest that kept her hidden is stirring with new unrest. With the line between life and death still thin, not all the spirits who were freed have found rest. Astor, reborn from shadow and starlight, now walks the world with her memories returned and her magic growing wild. The antlers she wears are no longer symbols of mystery, but of sovereignty-and danger. As her bond with Medusa deepens, so too does the pull of something ancient and vengeful, whispering from beyond the veil. When a new threat emerges-one that even the gods fear-Medusa and Astor must navigate a realm where myths do not die quietly, and destiny demands more than blood. To protect each other, they must face the echoes of their past lives, the pain of rebirth, and the choice to become more than what fate intended. Some stories were never meant to end. And some loves were written in the stars long before the world began.

She who sees me by AriaYoon4

They called her a monster. They never saw her break. After centuries of silence, Medusa lives alone in a forest of stone-haunted by gods, hunted by men, and burdened by a curse that turns love into ash. Her name, once sacred, is now a warning whispered in fear. But everything begins to change the day a blind witch named Nyxara steps into her world. Nyxara has survived exile, rejection, and a magic that heals as easily as it kills. She was cast out for being too dangerous, too different, too queer-and yet, the goddess Selene gave her a name, a purpose, and a vision: Find the Gorgon. Teach her she is not broken. As Medusa and Nyxara grow closer, so do the eyes of the gods. Selene watches with quiet pride. Athena watches with unraveling fury. And Medusa must decide if she can rewrite her story-not as a monster, but as a woman who survived the divine and still dared to love. A story of myth reclaimed, trauma unbound, and love powerful enough to turn stone into flesh again. DISCLAIMER: the story of Medusa that we all know and love is not from Greek mythology. This book is not inspired by Greek mythology. It is inspired by the poet Ovid that made a book named metamorphosis in the Roman mythology which told the tale of Medusa where she was born a human died of Gorgon please do not confuse the two. In the Greek mythology Medusa was born in Gorgon died of Gorgon she was part of the three sisters born to a sea deity she had no background nothing she was only known for having snakes for hair. In Roman mythology the poet Ovid dove in into her story with his own imagination which is a big part of the reason why she is always shown as a monster and not a survivor please remember that. Love you all
