    Summary

    !!! IMPORTANT NOTICE !!!
    This story is being published on AMAZON. It will be available from May 31, 2021. If you're reading, please hurry up, it's going to be deleted here on AO3!

     

    Born in the 90s, university student, short and with lots of human friends: Persephone really has a terrible divine curriculum. Mortals don't worship her, Gods don't invite her to their mundane events, and all in all it would be fine for her. Or at least this is what she thinks.
    Everything changes when at a conference she meets Hades, God of the dead. His too is a heavy baggage: three hundred thousand years of age, seven feet tall, at least twenty titles on his name. But he's also the only one understaning Persephone's passion for law subjects, as well as the only one who seems uncomfortable among the other deities as much as her. How couldn't they get along?
    They find themselves intertwining their destinies and working together to issue a controversial judgement, collaborating in a trial of souls in the court of the Underworld. And so, halfway between irony and seriousness, fairness and rigor, life and death, this is the (semi) modern reinterpretation of a myth that has never stopped being told.

    Summary

    What if the miraculous kwamis were representations of Greek gods. Yes the kwamis are Greek gods that posses humans the same way like in miraculous ladybug. I’ll try to update as much as possible, but I’m really feeling this fan fic.

    Summary

    After his cruel father signs a long-term contract, Patroclus is legally barred from singing like he loves- in front of anyone, ever, and certainly not in front of Achilles, the future face of Phthia Music Entertainment. So long as Patroclus can keep his mouth shut, every other door is open to him (and away from his home-life).

    However, as the relationship between Patroclus and Achilles blossoms over time, so does another yearning- a yearning to be seen, to be listened to, have his own voice heard, by his lover, and soon, the music world.

    Summary

    "Persephone knows that she should be happy about it. About how everything in the world is trying to show off its very best for her. She should. Everyone expects her to. Everyone thinks the smile on her face is real, but it’s not. It’s a mask, one she’s grown tired of wearing. It’s exhausting after so long. She wishes she could just make it all stop."

    What if Persephone found her way to the Underworld on her own? What if she chose to stay there because it was a much kinder place than the surface? What if she found a new family there, one that was far better for her than the one she knew from Olympus?

    Summary

    A play loosely based on the 18th century operetta “Achilles in Petticoats,” but removing the songs, replacing Roman names with Greek ones, substituting Patroclos in the place of a character invented for the operetta, reducing the misogyny as much as possible, giving the title character some actual agency, adding a mythologically accurate (sort of) subplot, and dispensing with the original’s disgustingly non-climactic, pat, heteronormative ending with one that’s a little more satisfying dramatically and not so hetero.

    It may be worth noting that I first wrote this play back in 2015, and have little revisited it since (and have not revisited its original since at all) though I did make some edits before posting it here.

    (As the central conceit of the original myth, the operetta and this new version all center around a teenage boy dressed as a girl, there are many ways the story may offend people. For this reason, the entire first chapter is dedicated to the possible problems, so please read that if any of this subject matter might be sensitive for you. The actual play starts in chapter two.)

    Summary

    “Welcome home!” Apollo threw his arms out as he lead his brothers into their new living room. Their not so glorious or godly living room. “It is… small,” Dionysus commented. He didn’t feel the need to hide his scepticism. “It is authentic,” Apollo explained. “If we are going to pretend to be mortals, we need to live like mortals. We couldn’t very well get a penthouse apartment, now could we?” “Why not?” Hermes asked as he closed the door to the apartment behind them. “I have a penthouse in Chicago. It is nice.”
