Alex was born in a coastal village near Mycenae, the child of two embittered mortals, a once-proud soldier turned alcoholic, and a mother who viewed Alex's birth as the death of her youth and freedom. Their village, steeped in superstition, considered gentleness a flaw and ambiguity a danger.
Alex was sensitive, empathetic, and different, and for this, they were shamed and punished. When they asked questions, they were told to be silent. When they cried, they were locked in the cellar. Their father said they were "too soft to live" and would beat them to "toughen them up." Their mother ignored them unless she needed a scapegoat. Their community watched in silence.
The abuse was not because Alex was divine, but because they were human in a world afraid of softness, nuance, and change.
One night, after a particularly cruel beating, Alex ran away and collapsed near an overgrown shrine.
It was there that the gods began to take notice.

Chains (Annabeth Chase x Male Reader)
"Is it love or fate that binds us?" Being a half-blood is dangerous. Brutal. Unforgiving. Y/N knew that from the start. Raised by Athena herself, he was sculpted to be a weapon- sharp, precise, unfeeling. But the gods never shape without secrets. And Y/N was never told the whole truth. When he's sent to Camp Half-Blood, his silver tongue and haunting presence draw attention fast- but not all eyes are kind. Something inside him is stirring. Something ancient. A power that doesn't belong to Athena... and a heart that was never meant to feel. As the lines between strategy and sentiment begin to blur, Y/N is caught in a divine game with no rules-only wagers. A quiet pull toward a girl with storm-gray eyes. A prophecy left unsaid. A choice he was never supposed to have.

CROWN OF ETERNITY | a blood of zeus fanfiction
NOTE : YOU CAN STILL READ THEM IF YOU DONT WATCH NETFLIX BLOOD OF ZEUS Kassia and Apollo were distant figures, exchanging only fleeting glances and casual acknowledgments. They existed in their own orbits, seemingly unaffected by each other's presence. However, everything changed when a prophecy, spoken by the Fates themselves, altered the course of their lives. Zeus and Themis, adding another daughter to their divine family, brought forth Kassia, a goddess embodying Humanity, Protection, and Power. She became a patron to queens and children alike, her influence extending far beyond her initial sphere. This prophecy didn't just hint at a change; it promised a revolution. Kassia, with her unique blend of virtues, was destined to play a pivotal role in Olympus's salvation. And beside her, Apollo, once indifferent, now found himself tasked with making this prophecy a reality. Their journey was not just about fate; it was about embracing the challenges of a changing world, where ancient powers met contemporary struggles, and where unity was the key to overcoming even the greatest of trials.
