Medusa's Lover (GxG)

ToriAnne
Based on the tale told before us, Medusa was a beautiful maiden who was seduced by Poseidon in a temple of Athena. Such a sacrilege attracted the goddess' wrath, and she punished Medusa by turning her hair to snakes. Then, the Greek hero Perseus beheaded Medusa, and he used her head, which retained its ability to turn onlookers to stone, as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. However, the truth was far more complex. Poseidon had attempted to seduce Medusa and failed; he then forced himself upon her. Her lover at the time, the powerful goddess Athena, saw that Medusa had fallen to the seduction of men, and in her wrath, she cursed Medusa by turning her hair to snakes. Athena then kicked Medusa out, far from her temple and home. Medusa met Perseus, but he did not kill her. Instead, he was given an artifact by Medusa that would help him on his journey, and Medusa chose to disappear from the earth. She lived in seclusion, far from the human world, wrapping her snakes in a turban if she needed to venture into the human realm, and lived alone for centuries. While the other gods and goddesses walked among humans, Medusa's tale was told as a villainess, an evil woman. That is, until a young woman in her twenties named Elysia, a beautiful woman with a heavenly voice who was not afraid of Medusa, walked into the deep water near Medusa's territory. Medusa watched the young woman from afar, and knows that she's indeed blind. Medusa and Elysia slowly became friends and daily companions, and Medusa began to grow fond of her. However, Medusa's fears started to build - would Elysia run away if she knew the truth about Medusa? Would she stay, or would she disappear? Everything descended into chaos when Poseidon and Athena found Medusa. One is finally realizing that she was mistaken about Medusa centuries ago, and the other one still want to pursue her, can't forget about Medusa. Will Medusa finally find happiness, or is she doomed by her curse?

HP: The Midnight King

Synopsis: For Justin Russo, life on Waverly Place had always been predictable—filled with family, magic, and the occasional mischief from his sisters, Alex and Maxine. But when a dream feels too vivid to ignore, it unearths memories of a past life long forgotten. As reality begins to unravel, buried secrets rise to the surface, bringing more questions than answers. Now, Justin must navigate a world where the past and present collide. Can he hold onto the peaceful life he's built, or will the sinister forces lurking in the shadows drag him toward a fate darker than he ever imagined? Plot-Driven Fic with a Touch of Wish-Fulfillment. A crossover featuring Harry Potter, Wizards of Waverly Place, Twilight, Shadowhunters, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, and Seraph of the end. Some elements of other works might be present. Important Note: Before diving in, I highly recommend reading the Author POV chapter first. It will help you decide whether this story is for you. Also, be aware that the Gore tag is not for mere shock value—it serves a purpose in fully realizing the scope of the fic. Some descriptions may be unsettling, but if you're uncomfortable reading it, just imagine what it’s like for me writing it. This is a fanfiction, meaning all credit goes to the original authors. This work is purely fictional—any resemblance to real people, places, or events is purely coincidental. I also do not claim ownership of the cover photo. Expect some plot holes and grammatical errors—I'm not a professional writer, but I will do my best to fix any issues as I go. My ultimate goal, once I get into a steady rhythm, is to release at least three chapters per week—though no promises!
