My name is Andromeda Daniels. Yes, I am aware that my name is... well, unique. My mom, being a literature teacher, decided to name me after the Ethiopian princess in the Greek legend of Perseus. She was the original "damsel in distress", and for some reason, my mom thought that would be appropriate to name her only daughter. In the story, Andromeda was tied up as an offering, but she was so beautiful that as soon as Perseus saw her, he rushed in to save her from a sea monster. The irony in this is that no one ever notices my existence. They never take a second glance at me. This is most likely due to the fact that I've never been considered pretty, or sporty, or talented in any way. I've always been that smart girl in the corner. Well, somewhat smart. I figured it'd stay that way for the rest of my high school life. Boy, was I wrong.
"Don't worry, Andromeda," he said with a huge smirk on his face. "I'll be your Perseus."
~
Now, Andromeda must face many changes in her once secure life--the hardest being her moving from the beautiful island of Hawaii, to the vast Napa Valley. Can she leave her old life and accept this new one?
Myths and legends are things that Andromeda considers herself an expert in. Thrown into this new environment, she starts making connections between the characters of those stories, to the people in hers. Will she become the "Andromeda" that she's only ever read about?
And in all this, who will be her Perseus? Will it be the musically inclined, Orpheus? The athletically gifted, Adonis? The absolutely conceited, Narcissus? Or will Perseus himself finally be revealed to her?
But one thing is certain: Saving Andromeda is going to be harder than anyone thought.

Charlie X Reader, 'Playing With Fire' Book 1 (Series Completed) *** "Uh, yeah. I stopped going to classes a while back. Believe it or not, that's not good for the GPA. I had, like, a 26 average or something," I said like it wasn't a big deal. "Damn, that's not great," he admitted. He rounded the corner into Percy's room. I could hear Percy fighting with the twins in their room. "Why'd you do that?" he asked teasingly. "My dad died," I answered honestly. "Oh, shit. I'm sorry," he said and his face dropped. "It's alright," I dismissed. "Seriously, stop looking at me like that." "I can't help it," he said. "You're making it worse. You look like a wounded puppy," I whined. "Don't be like everyone else. I'm sick of people treating me differently because of this whole thing. Treat me normally." "You mean, like flirt with you a little bit?" "Well, I, uh," I stuttered. He grinned at me. "You're blushing." *** Seventh-year Y/N Y/L/N is what the professors would call a prime example of wasted potential, with an impressively bad 26% average.

Y/N is desperately in need of this scholarship if she wants to graduate from Hogwarts, but she is struggling through more than anyone knows. The only thing that is keeping her going is the family she's found with the Weasleys. They're an odd bunch and that's exactly why she fits in. Because she doesn't. Things are simple with the Weasley family. That is until she crosses a line with one of the Weasley boys, a path that can never be retraced. Y/N finds herself trapped in a web of lies that she had created. One spark and everything she has worked for could be gone in an instant. And she's playing with fire.

Changing Into A New Life (Fan Fiction Crossover)
"What do you think of Alexandra?" Dumbledore asked me. I thought about the question for a few seconds, what did I think of her? She seemed dangerous. At the same time though she also seemed like she was in pain. Something about her screamed at everyone to stay away. Yet something else was begging people for help. It was like something was pushing people away from her. At the same time though something was pulling others closer. "I don't know, sir. She seems confusing," I admitted. When I bumped into her at the bookstore I knew that I'd see her again. I just didn't know when or where. She had puzzled me then and she still puzzled me. "I must ask you to stay away from her. She's a very dangerous person who I believe can't be trusted at all. She belongs to our world but also another. We both had no claims on her until she was 13, it is important that she is trained of our ways. Stay away though, she is quite powerful and can hurt you easily, even by accident. We already have a big enough problem with Black on the lose. You can go back now, just stay away from her at all costs," he warned me. I saw something in his eyes that I'd never seen before, fear. Alexandra's life of tragedy had been turned around when she receives a letter from a new school. When she agreed to go she didn't realize what she was agreeing to. She planned to go only so she would find it easier to defend herself from the dangers of the streets. Soon she must push the ones she's started to care about away for their own safety. The only thing she hopes for is the chance to figure out her messed up life before it's too late. AN This is a cross over. It is Harry's third year. I've changed it so that the story takes place in our time rather than the 1990's. I do not own Percy Jackson, Harry Potter or Kane Chronicles. I only own Alexandra Evans, Violet Evans and the story line and ideas. The sequel, Lost Time, is up.Complete
Fingers stained black
Many forget that the goddess of love was born from the raging sea, but she would do anything to protect her daughter. Adora was Aphrodite's last daughter. Her mother kept her hidden. But, her mother isn't the only one who can keep a secret, especially in a world where your role in society is everything. For there was a prophecy long before she was born: 'Aphrodite's last child would be the one to take the throne, Her paternity unknown. They would carve her face and never forget, for she would be the most beautiful that they had met Cursed for the same fate as her mother Forced to leave her love for another The only way she shall break this curse is if she defeats the first' "Looks like the princess doesn't need saving after all." He says, quietly enough that no one else would hear, as he draws his hand away from my arm. I glare back at him. "Maybe she never did," I walk away, not sparing a single glance back, no matter how much my body was begging me to. I fuss over my hair, pouting as I run my fingers through it to put it back into place. *A warning note* I am not an expert on Greek Mythology, but it interests me greatly. Please excuse any inaccuracies in the book, but if there are any please do message or comment it and I will see if I can change it without making such a huge difference to the plot. Also, my main character is autistic and the experience will be different for everyone. I have tried my hardest to put down on paper how I feel and how I believe others see me. So, please be respectful about the decisions my characters make as I have chosen to give them many different types of neurodivergent brains. I have tried my best to represent these in the most accurate light whilst not romanticising them.Complete
