Concluida vie, ago 15, 202551m
What happens when a trickster god, a brooding death lord, and a spring goddess walk into a solstice feast?
Chaos. Also, Zeus wearing nectar apples as a hat.
Hades, King of the Underworld, just wanted to brood in peace.
Too bad Hermes spiked his wine with a "love magnifier" potion.
Now he's:
Accidentally yeeting fruit at Zeus
Brewing lavender tea like a lovesick barista
Literally haunting Persephone's garden like a goth shadow
A mythic rom-com where death needs therapy, spring has some madness, and the gods of Olympus just want to party.

A Touch of Darkness
"Let me worship you," he said. His request felt sinful and devious, and she reveled in it. She answered, "Yes." _____________________________________ Persephone is the Goddess of Spring in title only. Since she was a little girl, flowers have only shriveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hoped to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist. All of that changes when she sits down in a forbidden nightclub to play a hand of cards with a hypnotic and mysterious stranger. Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world, and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible. But nothing has ever intrigued him as much as the goddess offering him a bargain he can't resist. After her encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead, and his terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever. The bet does more than expose Persephone's failure as a goddess, however. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows - a love that is both captivating and forbidden.
Bride of Thanatos
Death covets life-but she never looks his way. Until one fateful day. When archaeology student Ella drunkenly stumbles into a forgotten ruin in Greece, the last thing she expects is to wake a god. But her blood, spilled upon an ancient altar, does the unthinkable-it stirs Thanatos, the primordial god of death, from his first peaceful slumber in eons. He had been resting, taking a divine "vacation" granted by his twin brother Hypnos, when a mortal's curiosity quite literally kissed him awake. Now, Death walks the mortal world again-irritated, weary, and tethered to the woman who woke him. Ella, on the other hand, is horrified to discover she's not just trespassed on sacred ground but accidentally bound herself to the very embodiment of mortality. The two are forced into an uneasy coexistence: she, the living spark he was never meant to touch; he, the shadow who was never meant to linger. As their worlds collide-Greek ruins, meddling gods, divine bureaucracy, and one very cranky reaper-they begin to learn from one another. Thanatos, who has always known endings, discovers what it means to live. Ella, who has always chased the past, learns to see beauty in the inevitable. Their story unfolds between laughter and sorrow, myth and mortal folly-a dance between life and death itself. But love, like all living things, has a time limit. Once the fates cut the threads of their story, will they break the order of existence-or will Death carry away the woman who taught him how to feel? A blend of Greek mythology, dark romance, tragedy, and comedy, Bride of Thanatos is a tale where death start to yearn more than just an ending, life learns surrender, and eternity holds its breath for love that was never meant to be.
Hope for the Underworld
'In a single terrifying moment the heavens roared with a deafening crack of thunder, and the wind howled in a bone-chilling frenzy, as if someone was screaming in agony and unbearable anguish. In response, the earth recoiled in shock; the ground shook violently, jolting her off her feet. As the tremors intensified, a great chasm ripped open, devouring everything in its path and swallowing her in an instant. In a heartbeat, she plummeted into the shadowy abyss, consumed completely by the darkness. Then, the great void closed again, cutting off the sound of her terrified voice, leaving no trace of her presence there...' A retelling of the timeless love story of Hades and Persephone. Though some may argue it wasn't a love story at all... I disagree... Cover by AI Updated twice a week.Concluida
DIVINE - A Persephone And Hades Retelling
"I've told you, Hades, I can not become your mistress." she sadly told him. She had always lived in her mother's shadow, and if she followed Hades, she would once again be living in another's shadow. Even though she loved him, she did not think she could stomach it. "I do not want you to be my mistress, Persephone, I want you to be my queen," he confessed to her. She snapped her head up to meet his eyes, searching for any sign he wanted to take his words back, but there was no remorse. And just like that, she fell ever so slightly more in love with him. "Your queen?" she asked, she had to be sure. Strangely the word had slid off her tongue gracefully as if it had belonged there. "Yes, become my queen," he told her once again, taking back the step she had taken. "Rule besides me as the goddess of spring and the Underworld." The words don't seem to make sense in her mind. --- Further description in the book --- #1 - MYTH RETELLING (as of October 1st, 2021) #1 - GODDESS OF SPRING (as of Nov 23rd, 2021) #1 - HADES TOWN (as of Jan 13th, 2022) #1 - HADES AND PERSEPHONE (as of Feb 9th, 2022) #1 - GREEK MYTHOLOGY (as of March 29th, 2022) #1 - QUEEN OF THE UNDERWORLD (as of April 4th, 2022) #1 - PERSEPHONE AND HADES (as of April 20th, 2022) #1 - GOD OF THE UNDERWORLD (as of April 20th, 2022) #1 - KING OF THE UNDERWORLD (as of Dec 22, 2022) #2 - HECATE (as of Nov 4th, 2021) #2 - DEMETER (as of Jan 29th, 2022) #2 - KING AND QUEEN (as of Feb 21st, 2022) #2 - PERSEPHONE (as of Sep 20th, 2023) #3 - GREEK MYTH (as of May 6th, 2022) #4 - MYTH (as of April 21th, 2022) #4 - RETELLING (as of May 10th, 2022) #4 - UNDERWORLD (as of 26th, 2023) #6 - HADES (as of April 8th, 2022) #6 - DIVINE (as of May 6th, 2022) #41 - OLYMPIANS (as of Feb 9th, 2021) #55 - GREEK (as of May 8th, 2022) #61 - OLYMPUS (as of May 8th, 2022)Concluida
To Search For Flowers (Apollo X Hyacinthus) (Hermes X Crocus)
We've all heard of the two tales of heartbreak. Similar, but never the same. Hyacinthus. Crocus. Both turned into flowers. Both beautiful souls crushed by fate-or, well, smacked by it. (Discus, meet skull.) But what happens when fate gets bored of the ancient world... and revives them in a new one? Where discus evolved into frisbees, Olympus has Wi-Fi, and the gods still haven't figured out how to mind their own business. Reborn as Kalliste and Asiminia, the two demigoddesses struggle to fit into a world that moves too fast, laughs too loud, and doesn't believe in gods anymore. Still, each night they remember-the sun's warmth, the laughter of a trickster, and the heartbreak that made them flowers. Meanwhile, up on Olympus, two gods are losing their divine minds. Apollo's radiant calm? Gone. Hermes' chill? Evaporated. Because apparently, everyone knew about the girls' reincarnation-except them. And so begins the chaos. Do the gods find them? Do the flowers bloom again? Or will fate play its favorite game one last time-only to break every heart, mortal and divine -☀️🪻🪽⚘️-![Clair de Lune - [ epic fanfic ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/388232588-256-k879996.jpg)
Clair de Lune - [ epic fanfic ]
"We're not friends," you snap, narrowing your eyes into a glare sharp enough to pierce stone. "And stop calling me that." He tilts his head, his curls catching the faint, flickering light of the soul-lamps nearby. "Calling you what, darling?" he asks, his voice smooth and lilting, every syllable soaked in feigned innocence. Your teeth clench so hard it's a wonder they don't crack. Heat rises in your chest, crawling up your neck like an itch you can't quite scratch. His smirk only deepens, clearly reveling in your irritation, and you have to fight the urge to hurl the pair of gardening shears in your hand at his insufferably perfect face." --- Or, you are the immortal servant to Hades and Persephone, and Hermes cannot help himself but to get under your skin.Concluida

The God & The Shadow
"Jealous?" "Why would I be?" "Because I know your fantasies." He argued. I leaned closer to him, smelling his overwhelming scent. "And I'm appalled at how they are just that. Fantasies." He smiled and leaned closer, piercing through my eyes with the blue of his. I wanted to grab the dagger beneath my pillow and kill him already. "Are you now?" He answered, coming dangerously close to me. He brought his hand up to lift my chin, our noses touching. Gods, help me. I want nothing to do with this man. I really don't. He hates me, and I hate him. Our banter is not just banter; there's always a sense of truth in between, and that's what makes it all the more addicting. - THE GOD is the master of death and darkness. Lore, previously known as Hades, rarely ever visited the mortal realm. As the gods get involved in a war against the rebellious uprising amongst the dark angels, he must work together with a group of immortals, a ruthless and serpentine assassin being one of them. THE SHADOW is a half-breed. Left destitute at seven and made a killer eleven years later, she leaves destruction and death wherever she walks the mortal realm. Forced into a team unit as punishment for her insolent behavior, she must work with the god she grew to admire and learned to hate. Alliances built on lies and hatred are inevitable to fall. Who will win in this game of the gods? (Modern Retelling of the story of Hades & Persephone)Concluida

Isolation can be devastating. But love...can destroy everything around you. For Persephone, isolation is being kept under the suffocating gaze of her mother, treated like a child and forbidden from interaction with her own kind or the mortal people under her care. For Hades, isolation is a deadly gift, a silent and lifeless kingdom that he alone rules -- and that cuts him off from all that he would consider family. But when the winds of chance throw two love-starved souls together, it heralds the end of the universe as they know it.... #1 in HadesxPersephone (09/18/22) #2 in Persephone (09/27/22)Concluida
