The Devil's Romance (a Hades and Persephone story)
Based off the original Greek myth: Hades pushes me up against the wall. His breath fanning over my neck as I push against his chest. "Don't pretend Persephone." He mumbles pressing his lips to my neck. "You have feelings for me, I can see it." He continues to assault my neck trailing kisses lower. "Your mother or Apollo can't take you away," He says in between kisses. Hades makes his way back to my jawline. "Because despite what you say you don't want to leave." His blue eyes stare into mine. His lips come crashing down on mine: my first kiss.Complete

Journey of Odysseus( Epic Canon)
The tale of a King favored by the gods, faced trials and suffering on his way home. Authors' Note I used the flow of the story using the Epic Musical I realized that this isn't like completely accurate to the Homer original story. Also I used Chatgpt to translate to old English and it's hard to read 🤔 I will write this book again to follow the original and not use Old English.😅Complete
Flowers and Shadows
Hades and Persephone is a story that has so many different sides to it. Some people romanticize their relationship (often without taking into account certain aspects of the myth) while others insist that Hades was nothing but perverse and awful... even though taking Persephone, after having her father's permission, was quite normal for the time! This is a retelling of the ancient myth, with all the ancient components to it. I researched the story from many different sources and tried to make it as accurate as possible. The only writer's license was the amount of time she spent in the Underworld before Hermes came-- I never found an exact number, so I wrote it as six months, partly so that they had time to truly fall for each other, partly so that she would return to the mortal realm immediately after being returned to Demeter. Persephone is a character who understands the place goddesses and women have in the world, understands the normalcy of her capture, but still struggles with feeling like it's unjust. Hades is a god with few romantic relationships in his past (Leuce and Minthe) who hadn't fallen for anyone for a while and wasn't quite sure how to treat a goddess in a realm he never visited. This is the story.Complete
Their Training
Sequel to My God and Our Children stories. Here is only Osiris and Themis point of view mainly and sometimes I'll skip to another character. Hades and Hera will not appear together that much. Only in special events or a chapter maybe in between. Only one at the time.Complete
