Summary
A look at the cultural schismogenesis of the Minoans vs the Mycenaeans and Mycenaeans into Hellenes through gender, culture, and language - using a very fantastic bordering on scifi retelling of the Odyssey as the vehicle.
Written as if told from the perspective of one of my OCs. uwu. I've been thinking about these characters since I was 12 and took my first world history class. I am now 30 and recently read the Odyssey (Emily Wilson translation) and Crossing the Wine Dark Sea (Emily Wilson authored). But I am very much not a translator!
I am, however, an academic (biologist) who doesn't know how to write! Read if you dare!

Summary
A non-white lesbian college version of Twilight. Started as a romance turned into an exploration of Isabella and Charlie's semi-broken familial relationship and inter-generational trauma. Might be a bit of self therapy as fanfiction.
Ongoing! Promise - just needed to find some editors. -

Summary
Read an argument, with citations, because I read the Raven Tower and was full of Turtle Island feelings for it.

Summary
Small tweak to Fire by Kristin Cashore - instead of Ikimir being the main villain, insert an adult female monster. Drama, romance, and maybe a threesome ensue.
"The monster took a step forward and Fire forced herself to take a step back, but she staggered as she did so. Her body, her mind, cried out in both frustration and joy, in bitterness and melancholy. Fire had lived the past three years in isolation, with no end in sight, and suddenly she wasn’t alone. Suddenly there was another person, another woman, who could understand what she had been through, could understand her thoughts and feelings in a way no normal human could.
And yet… judging by the fur cowl around her neck, the high boots, and the curve of the blade at her hip, she was a Pikkian. An enemy."
