You've always been angry.
Rage comes naturally to you. With how much life has messed with you it's only fair that you use your anger. That's why you became a boxer. The thrill of breaking an opponent. And hoping they might break you in turn. They never do though. Every fight is a disappointment, almost as much of a disappointment as they pay for each fight.
Enter Jackie Roth, club owner, mob boss, and former god. When she offers you a job you can't say no. Not that you would, not when she and everyone in her gang feel so familiar to you. At least with this job you'll be able to use that rage inside you more.
As you learn the ways of the criminal underground you reconnect with people you never met. Reforge bonds that you've never made. And recall memories you've never had. You were a god once upon a time, can you become one again?

Miss Morgan I know you said as an author you're not going to read fanfic for God Syndicate—for understandable reasons of course—but do you want to be told it exists as it gets posted or would you rather not be told about it?
Tell meeeee, I’ll warn you that I won’t reblog or post about it, but I’ll send it to my friends so they can read lol
You probably answered this before but we know demigods can't reincarnate and are basically immortals so.. do gods also have extremely long life spans (or infinite) but can be killed as reincarnations or do they have normal life spans and just hop through reincarnations as endless new files saves?
Also, do the gods stop aging too? Because I can't get how demigods do but gods keep aging? 🤔
Gods stop aging at a certain point, and gods can only die from unnatural causes. Gods can’t get sick either.
The time that gods stop aging is different per god. For instance Riley is only a couple of years younger than Jackie, but Riley looks low 20’s and Jackie looks like mid 50’s. Their age is typically just an uncontrolled cosmetic, and doesn’t affect them further than looks.
Gods typically last 100-300 years before something kills them. Due to how difficult it is to kill a god compared to a person, the most common way one dies is suicide, not murder or accidents. But mortals and other gods do occasionally kill a god, and some gods have accidentally fallen into a sink hole and died, or drown in a river, or something. Basically, shit happens, but functionally a single life COULD last 5,000 years or even infinitely. Though it has never happened.
This is actually same with demigods, but their most likely death is murder, with very few dying of accidents or suicide.
I'm new here but why the fuck are we considering dating the reincarnation of our godly Father 😭😭 is this normal?
It is, because it’s all a bit different than the OG myths. What’s real, what was made up by humans, what’s been long forgotten, what was intentionally changed, what’s the lie and what’s the truth? Because it’s been thousands of years and dozens upon dozens of rebirths, it’s hard for anyone to really tell, and at this point does the truth matter?
To se your mind at ease a bit…Things are complicated in canon. And tbh I can’t really see these characters even remotely related, Jackie especially. You’ll see why, but that’ll come muuuuch later, my word of advice is that it’s best to think of them as all completely unrelated and vibe out
Verne is never beating the allegations that they have something for the war. Dating both God of Wars (Athena and Ares) is more than a simple coincidence
This is actually tearing me upppp what did you think they were? Verne is a French name 😭 I don’t know how I could have sworn I described them better in the book but now I gotta reread
Wait, Verne has short hair? I've been imagining them with hair down to their waist this entire time. And are they white? My whole life is a lie.
Lmaooo, so their hair is to their shoulders, silver, and slicked back. I have only described the color, which is on me.
And Verne is white, I’m sorry…they’re from England, but have an American accent because they lived here since the original American Revolution…where they fought on the English side.
people will say “they’re only friends” and then show me two people who would crawl through broken glass to hear the other laugh once. two people who have memorized each other’s coffee orders, fears, childhood stories, and emergency contacts. two people who would haunt each other’s houses as ghosts. be serious.
Hi, its me. The warmest creature in the world. I love you. Im the warmest creature in the world and I love you so much and I need to be in your lap right now. Yes, I know about the heat wave. That's okay though because I was already the warmest creature in the world so I don't mind. I love you and you need to let me sleep in your lap right now. I'm soooo warm and I love you sooo much. If you say no you'll be saying no to a thing that love you. Let me sleep in your lap. When I fall asleep I get warmer. I love you
