This is a story based on the Greek myth of Icarus of Athens. Please take note that this is my interpretation of the myth, and it will not be one hundred percent accurate or correct. TW: graphic descriptions of gore, suicidal thoughts, may be light swearing.

The Minoan Rhapsody
Olympus had no foresight, clouded by the chaos created by their own. As they struggled from within, the Minoans rose to power.

The seeds of their undoing rooted deep below the foundation of their capitol city: Knossos. This is the story of how a boy became King, how he built an empire. This is the tale of Olympus and how the Gods' feuds brought doom and despair, turning an empire to rubble.Complete
Set Me As A Seal ✓
A time-traveling god. A mortal stuck in Ancient Greece. They have always been able to hear each other's thoughts, across time and space; the only problem is, they were never supposed to meet. Until they did. And it unravelled the balance of everything. ₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪ The immortal Greek god Evgenis' only job is to travel through time, making sure humanity stays on its course. This is what he was born to do. He was meant to be machine-like, cold, and detached from humanity - ready to invoke bloodshed as needed. His ability to follow through with his duty, however, is disrupted when he forms a mysterious internal bond with a mortal. You see, the Goddess of Love had a different idea for her son's future. Seeing the cruelty of the gods around her, she formed the unborn Evgenis with a secret gift: an eternal inner bond with a mortal. She chose Tharos - named for the strength of his heart - an Ancient Greek villager living an unassuming, simple life. This connection, she prayed, would keep Evgenis' moral compass and conscience strong. He would not end up like the others. No one could anticipate, though, just how powerful and disruptive this bond would grow to be. ------------------------------------------ "Set me as a seal upon your heart... for love is as strong as death." - Song of Solomon, 6:8 ------------------------------------------Complete

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐒 (MODERN AU) ||HERMES X ALT. FEM READER||
"ᴅᴏ ɪ ʟᴏᴏᴋ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴀ ʜᴀʟʟᴜᴄɪɴᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ᴛᴏ ʏᴏᴜ, ᴅᴀʀʟɪɴɢ?" --------------------- You were meant to die that night. You were sure of it. Memories had flashed before you, visions of the life you'd never get to live dancing alongside them. This was how it was meant to end, you realized, crushed to death by the car of some idiot drunk driver. And for the first time, a certain thought had crossed your mind. You weren't ready. You were supposed to have a whole god damn life ahead of you, no matter how shitty it was. All of these moments of joy, pain, and struggle. All leading up to this?! Dying just after you reached your twenties, barely passing the gateway of adulthood?! This was fucking bullshit. As if by the will of your own mind, you felt a strong hand tug your arm, dragging you out of the way. Just like that, the world around you had sped up again. You looked up to see your savior, only to catch a glimpse before he was just... gone. Who was he? And why was his appearance so... wrong? ______________________ Hello friends! Welcome to my second greek mythology fan fiction! Updates might be slower with this one than my other story, Divinity, but I wanted to start another project before I lost the passion I had behind this idea. Basically, we have a grumpy y/n whose life got infiltrated by a chaos deity after he saved her life. She begins to have a new outlook, realizing for the first time in years that she wants to live. And Hermes is there to piss her off, of course.
