A little about my writing

I mostly write erotica, but I am more than comfortable with relationships in general, fluff, angst, character analysis, as well as longer plot-heavy stories.

Currently, I write about Greek Mythology (mainly Homeric epics), but I've also been into Genshin Impact, Hazbin Hotel, She-Ra, DC Comics, and a bunch of other fandoms! I've been writing for 8 years.

Nothing is outright banned. Reach out with whatever idea you have, and we'll discuss.

You can find my work here.

[dinofanx]

Are you ever writing about Odysseus and just start salivating at the description of his body?

[dinofanx]

I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on these Odyssey translations because I only read Fagles so far, and I'm looking at what else to buy/read

Samuel Butler

Robert Fitzgerald

E. V. Rieu

T. E. Lawrence

Alexander Pope

George Chapman

I already checked out some of them to get the feel for the language, but I'm looking for others' opinions.

Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down... Chapter 1 snippet

A little excerpt from my modern BDSM AU PenOdyDio fanfic. 🤭 In which our favorite straight (bi4bi, t4t) power couple is casually poaching Diomedes.

“Ex-military. Oh joy.” Odysseus’ teeth click lightly as he grits them. “Now he’s a personal trainer. Says he’s looking for something short-term, but he’s open to long-term.” “Seventy-thirty chance he has commitment issues, but either way, he’s down for fun.” Penelope’s tongue pokes out just past her teeth, and she bends down over her husband as her shoulders shimmy. Her enthusiasm draws a laugh out of him. “And you think he’s attractive enough to take those odds?” 

This is my first time really committing to a modern setting for these lovelies. Inspired by the work of my favorite people, @ithacantrickster and @alexfrostwrites, who's responsible for starting the BDSM OdyDio plague, this is a story of exploration and discovery, both my own and the characters's. Expect fluff, pain (both desired and not), comfort, angst, and an overabundance of spice.

D/s dynamics: Established wholesome PenOdy at the forefront and developing slow-burn OdyDio (perhaps even PenOdyDio🤭). And more in the background.

Status: The first 9 chapters are already up on AO3

Chapter 2 snippet!!

In which... Diomedes is still hung up on his ex and a red flag. Look, we're working on it, at least he's hot.

Not that whatever Aegialeia and Cometa have is that crazy. At least he doesn’t think so, from what he gathered. Even if it was… it’s not any of his concern. It wasn’t even back when they were dating, when it perhaps should’ve been. Now, there is absolutely no reason to dwell on it. He glances at the photo again. Between the two women, there is a tiny pup, asleep in a basket on the table. The sheer cuteness of it improves Diomedes’ mood somewhat. It’s dark brown with yellow circling one eye and bleeding up into the ear. He jumps slightly when his phone suddenly chimes. STOP looking at that post. I’m expecting you in 20 Diomedes reads the cloud of text on top of his screen, from Sthenelus. He swipes to push the message to the side, but he does make the effort to put the phone in his lap and eat while he looks at Aegialeia. She hasn’t changed much, other than looking happier than she did with him, perhaps. His lip trembles as it curls down.

Chapter 3 snippet!

In which Diomedes gets very familiar with Odysseus' appearance and to a lesser degree with his personality.

The beard on this man is enviable. He tries to quell that envy by reminding himself that Odysseus is a decade older than him, and he probably started growing facial hair before 19. He clicks his tongue with barely-contained frustration, simply noting the way dark and white hairs neatly frame his jawline, only to noticeably increase in length at his chin. His top lip is nearly concealed by a moustache, but together with the bottom one, Diomedes can tell they’re a bit fuller than he tends to see. It’s neither here nor there, but he does prefer some more cushion around his dick. The build of Odysseus’ nose, he can only describe as biologically advantageous for people who wear glasses. Which the man does admittedly. It has a prominent bump near the tip, positioned perfectly to prevent them from falling off, which is surely useful considering it’s hooked. At the end, it’s downturned, overall vaguely resembling an owl’s beak. It leads the eye to Odysseus’ faint smile lines. Square-shaped glasses with a black rim and amber orange accents sit on the bridge of his nose, behind which he can see a hint of wrinkles around the eyes.

Also, chapter 10 is up!

I'll be honest, the song was a struggle, but I think the lyrics fit-

Flower is chamomile and the season is Spring :)

This was kinda difficult sksksk

When I have a song for a character, it mostly means that there is just a section or a handful of lines that fit the character.

I love giving odypen matching suicidal ideations (if our love ends, would that be a bad thing <3) tagg: @butchwerewife @ithacantrickster

I saw a reel about the wacky stuff ao3 writers do and how AI could never replace that. And yes, duh, obviously. From everything I've seen, AI really struggles with dialogue, especially (can't do human interactions hm...)

But I would also like to add that it's very dumb... It can't convey complex messaging, it's terrible at subtext, it "writes" circularly...

Anyways, there's your daily bit of hate for AI failing to do creative work. Have a wonderful day; stay creating

One Year of Cleanse Me with Pleasure

Hi, everyone!

Drawing your attention here with this lovely art made by the wonderful @ithacantrickster, the art that depicts my first modern OdyDio AU, entitled Cleanse Me with Pleasure. It's angsty, it's spicy, it's fluffy, and it's comforting, a combo that's difficult to pass am I right? 🤭

I wrote the story for myself, for my birthday to be exact, a gift from me to me, so, now a year later, I'm coming back to it and inviting you all to read it :3

What I thought would be a 4-chapter story turned into a 28-chapter novel, now with a sequel and a set of spin-offs, the links to which you'll find below ✨✨

The support and feedback I've been receiving for it still encourages me to write them modern AUs, so I've a new one (Cloud Nine) that's still in progress AND there will be part 3 of CMwP coming, too!

I also want to say a big thank you to all my friends who keep supporting me in my rather sinful writing endeavours: @ithacantrickster @miles-crow @kira-k @holy-mother-of-whumpers @dinofanx @dolihannah 💖 Go support them too, they're lovely and talented people!!

And, of course, a big thank you goes to you all, my dear Readers, too! 💖

So, without further ado, please, enjoy the following links and see you there, lovelies! (And if you're not a Greek Myth fan – don't worry, these stories can be easily read as original stories as well ^^)

I love that I can carry a little Odysseus with me everywhere I go. It's my little autism pendant. Along with my little Penelope and Diomedes.

It's a great conversation starter/opening of the Pandora's box because I won't shut up if someone makes the mistake of asking me about them.

[dinofanx]

Gathering data... but is there a line, sentence, paragraph or a section from any of my stories that stood out to you for any reason? I would like to compile them for... something

Fanfic writers, reblog if you’re okay with people sharing the links to your fics to their friends and/or for fic rec posts without having to ask for your permission first

(I saw a debate about whether or not it was okay for people to share fic links around without asking the authors first, since some authors may not be comfortable with the links to their fics being shared around on twitter or tumblr. so I thought this post could be a blanket permission for authors who were okay with the links to their fics being shared around!)

[katerinaaqu]

Wait there are people who don't like that when they receive amazing mentions or talk about their stories!? Or spreading recommendations?! Gosh!

Modern BDSM AU penodydio fic

I've been neglecting the advertising of this thing

Summary: Odysseus is a university professor specializing in archaic and classical history, a 24/7 submissive to his wife, with whom he hosts BDSM and shibari events regularly, and together, they've taken an interest in a handsome, younger man named Diomedes, who spends his days burying his woes inside the gym and random strangers while refusing to move on from a relationship that's been dead longer than it hasn't.

They're looking for fun primarily, but perhaps they'd be willing to take on a project. One can hope they find an abundance of eagerness, snark, and loyalty charming enough to try.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/83606121/chapters/220298771

We're 8 chapters deep at this point, and I believe this is the most restraint I've ever shown when writing. Maybe I can burn the burn slowly after all...
