"They don't understand. No matter how bad she has done to me, I can't help but stay in love with her. Not because she's beautiful, but out of all the horrible things she's done to me in the course of our relationship, there is only one thing that matters to me. She gave me the fire to my heart"
Hephaestus, the god of the forges, fire, and volcanoes.
Outcast of Olympus. The deformed and lame god. Those epithets clung to him like a curse. Thrown away by his own mother. Scorned by Love herself. This is the unsung story of a broken god who desperately seeks out for love in a world that seems to deny him of it.

The Unwanted One...
In a world where the gods of old still walk among humanity, their influence has faded into myth. The gods are now powerful but fractured entities, scattered across the earth, their divine powers diminished over the centuries. The gods still rule, but they do so behind the scenes, in secret realms hidden from mortal eyes. Hephaestus, once the divine blacksmith and god of fire, is no exception. However, he has withdrawn from his former glory and now lives in exile, cut off from both the pantheon and his divine forge. His once-vibrant forge lies dormant, its flames extinguished, and his heart hardened by betrayal.

Storm and Fire
I was in love with him. It wasn't even something I could deny anymore. That fear of losing him gripped me so tight I felt like I couldn't breathe. I really felt like crying, but I didn't. I was going to be strong for him when he wakes up. Like he always is for me. I put my hand in his, letting it disappear under his much longer fingers. I could've sworn I felt him squeeze. ~~~ A peek into the development of Leo Valdez's and Jason Grace's relationship in between the events of Heroes of Olympus ~~~ A Valgrace StoryComplete
The Love of Aphrodite - Book 1
Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty is forced into an unwanted marriage the very evening she emerges from the sea. While Hephaestus is not terrible to her, she can't help but be enticed by his forbidden brother, Ares, and the other Gods who send her longing glances. Will she settle for Hephaestus or will she search for more for her own love story? *This story follows along some of Aphrodite's romances while married to Hephaestus. This story will not be a perfect timeline but will however, follow along a rough timeline according to my other book, Hades and Persephone.* *Also, Aphrodite has her faults. A fair amount of faults in fact! If you know her mythology she turns out to be a very vengeful, self-centred, and self-involved Goddess, but this story is all about her slowly progressing throughout her marriage to Hephaestus. A sequel will follow beyond once this marriage ends.* *This story is also not meant to be factually accurate, and is simply an interpretation of the story.Complete

Anazitisi ||¹ Percy Jackson×OC
Elia nodded, fussing over his still-smoldering curls. "You're smoking." Percy flashed a cheeky grin. "You too, hotstuff." She rolled her eyes, exasperated, and held up his arm where the hair had singed off. His only response was a disappointed, "Oh." Elia Smith always imagined her days at Camp Half-Blood would be as ordinary as a demigod's life could be-just another kid trying to stay under the radar and make it to twenty. But everything changes when Percy Jackson crashes into her world, turning it upside down like a centaur in a china shop. Suddenly, she's thrown into a whirlwind of monster attacks, wild quests, and cryptic prophecies that force her to discover more about herself than she ever expected. Alongside quirky gods, bumbling monsters, and the weight of the world on their shoulders, Elia and her friends must embark on an adventure that's as hilarious as it is hair-raising.

Wildfire (Leo Valdez x OC) (1)
Leo got up and walked towards the front of the helicopter. I frowned at Piper. "Why'd you take my hot water bottle away?" Piper snorted and I saw the tips of Leo's ears turn red as he sat down. "My apologies, dearest Anwen." Piper bowed slightly. "Thank you, good lady." "Which kind of hot did you mean?" Piper smirked. Leo whirled around, cheeks red as a spark flew from his hair. I laughed. "Leo you're on fire." Anwen knew that the life of a demigod was a chaotic one but at this point it was getting ridiculous. Percy was missing, Olympus was closed, three new demigods are brought to camp, whom she now had to go on a quest with AND the queen of the gods had been kidnapped? What was her life turning into? A/N: This is a SLOWBURN, not a lot happens romance wise for most of this book since they only meet at the start of the series. There is far more fluff and stuff in the second book (Inferno). This book is largely to introduce my OC and show how the dynamics between her and other characters first begin developing.
