Before he was the legendary King of Ithaca, before he braved the wrath of gods and monsters, Odysseus was just a ten-year-old boy with too much curiosity for his own good.
When Athena, the goddess of wisdom, takes a rare moment of rest and wanders through Ithaca, she expects nothing more than a quiet walk. What she does not expect is a reckless boy falling out of a tree and crashing into her.
Determined to leave the encounter behind, Athena disappears-only to realize she has lost her most treasured possession: a necklace once given to her by her late mother, Metis. And the one holding it? Odysseus.
The boy strikes a deal-he will return it, but only if she agrees to mentor him in the ways of war and strategy. Athena, hoping he will give up quickly, agrees and puts him through merciless training. Yet, as the day stretches on, she finds herself drawn to the boy's sharp wit and unshakable spirit.
Odysseus may be trouble, but he is unlike any mortal she has ever met. And as she learns more about his life, his struggles, and his dreams, Athena starts to wonder: has she finally found someone worth training?

Ascension
In a modern world where ancient gods walk among mortals, the balance of power is disrupted when Zeus, the king of the olymyan gods, commits a heinous act: the rape and murder of Persephone, the beloved wife of Hades and queen of the underworld. Consumed by grief and rage, Hades, ruler of the underworld, embarks on a quest for vengeance against his brother Zeus. Leaving the confines of the underworld, Hades seeks allies among the gods, rallying them to his cause in a bid to overthrow Zeus and restore justice. As Hades traverses the mortal realm, he encounters allies and adversaries alike. Athena, goddess of wisdom, joins his cause, appalled by Zeus's actions and eager to see justice served. However, not all gods are swayed by Hades's call to arms. Some remain loyal to Zeus, while others harbor their own agendas, complicating Hades's mission. Amidst the turmoil, mortals become unwitting pawns in the gods' power struggle. As alliances shift and betrayals unfold, Hades must navigate treacherous waters to confront Zeus and avenge the death of Persephone. But in a world where gods play by their own rules, the outcome of Hades's quest remains uncertain, and the fate of both mortals and immortals hangs in the balance.Complete

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 -☀️🪻🪽⚘️-
Ode to the Daughter of Death
The wars are over, but the story isn't. Ode to the Daughter of Death is a collection of quiet hymns to the life Kallistrate and Telemachus built in the shadow of Olympus-a mortal marriage that endures gods, grief, and time itself. Across the years, their home becomes a kingdom shaped by devotion: Penelope's wisdom still steering its halls, Odysseus' memory haunting its shorelines, and their children growing into the myths that will outlive them. From the reckless tenderness of young love to the calm ache of old age, these stories trace the heartbeat of Ithaca-the laughter that fills its courtyards, the olive groves that remember their vows, and the gods who cannot quite let them go. Ares is still as sharp as a blade's edge; Athena still watches from her high, silent perch; Althea still learns how to wield both blade and mercy. Between feasts and funerals, miracles and mischief, this is the song of what remains when legends rest-the love, the lineage, and the mortal courage that dares to keep living.Complete
Honeyed Storm: The Epic of (Name)"
In the age of heroes, gods, and war, the world forgot her name. Born under a bleeding moon, (Name) was the divine child of Nyx, goddess of night, and Aether, god of upper air and light-an impossible union never meant to happen. To hide the shame of their union, the gods misplaced her thread in the Loom of Fate. She was cast down to the mortal world, raised in the shadows as a girl with eyes like galaxies and power she never asked for. But fate doesn't forget. It waits. It obsesses. As a young woman, she marries Odysseus and Penelope in secret-three hearts bound in a rare and sacred union. When war calls Odysseus to Troy, (Name) defies every expectation and joins him, setting sail as his equal, his protector, and unknowingly, the object of everyone's unraveling. On this journey, (Name) becomes the eye of a storm she never meant to summon: • Gods fall in love with her. And not gently. • Demigods chase her like moths to divine flame. • Monsters let her live when they should have killed. • Penelope, back in Ithaca, becomes possessive and wrathful in her longing. • Odysseus loses battles from jealousy alone, afraid someone will touch what's his. Even the world itself seems to shift toward her: Islands tilt. Winds wail. The stars blink in rhythm with her breath. As the crew dwindles-not from war, but from obsession-fueled madness-(Name) begins to uncover the truth: The gods are not simply in love. They are desperate. The Loom of Fate has started unraveling because her misplaced thread has warped destiny itself. If she doesn't confront her origins... If she doesn't choose what she wants... The world may rip itself apart trying to possess her.Complete
