I know Sci-Fi isn't everyone's cup of tea; this may or may not surprise you. I originally posted this 2 years ago as an answer to a writing challenge: A blind woman in love with Medusa. I was rather baffled because romance was not in my wheelhouse. But I gave it a shot and made shiny Sci-Fi out of it. A bit of a blurb: Medusa attends a party, was drugged and S.A 'd by Poseidon. Her brother's behavior embarrasses her so Athena punishes Medusa for "seduction of a full noble" by twisting Medusa's powers to heal into an uncontrollable killing glare, and execution later at Athena's convenance. We catch up with Medusa so years later on her last day, she spends the day with her lover. And they both meet their fates by the hand of Perseus. But a furious Queen Hera has other ideas. The beginning of a titanic war, the likes of which hasn't been seen since humankind escaped their original universe.
