Right off the bat, if y'all could ignore the posts from 2021/22 that would be amazingggg! I'll be editing out what I wrote but I can't remove posts entirely so here we are. I might rewrite and repost some of the earlier songs because the concepts were good, just not the execution.

This is a thread for me to dump my songs, fanfics, and anything else that comes out of my brain and into existence. I didn't want to make a new thread so I'm repurposing my old one instead.

My current WIPs are:
  • Songs of the Psyche: an album containing randoms songs that I wrote while feeling depressed
  • Sunkissed Nature (working title): an EP about Apollo's lovers, specifically the ones turned into plants
  • The Apollodyssey: a PJO x EPIC the Musical AU with Perpollo
  • Reading ToA: a "PJO reads" series, with Perpollo, Solangelo, and a crap ton of OCs, where the characters read the Trials of Apollo, the Chalice of the Gods trilogy, and The Sun and the Star duology
  • The Ocean's Prince, the Sun's King: a PJO royal AU with, you guessed it, Perpollo
  • Through the Wreckage: an original LGBTQ novel, co-written with my boyfriend

Buddy Boy

Deleted, won't redo but I do have it backed up. I wrote it for my Girl Guides leader and her senior dog and it holds a lot of sentimental value. We haven't connected in years but I hope she's well.

Fallin' For You

Deleted, likely won't redo. It was a cute concept but it holds no meaning to me anymore.

Now It's You ('Cause You 'Fessed Up First)

Deleted, I don't know if I'll redo it. The original lyrics were pretty good, but again, the concept and inspiration hold no meaning for me anymore.

A Blessing is a Curse in Disguise

Deleted, if I had to pick only one song to redo this would be it. The concept was great and the lyrics were pretty good too, it just needs some polishing.

My god, the songs 2021/22 me wrote were... something... please just ignore them entirely thx <3

Anyways, I'm reviving this after 2 years! As of now, I'm currently working on an EP, as well as some songs for my stories, and I wanted to share the process with you guys. I'll also be doing vocal recordings now, so you can get an idea of what they're supposed to sound like. Not any of my old songs, they make me want to regurgitate all my meals from the past week... Do be warned, I don't own a mic (yet) and I haven't properly sung since April, so don't be coming here expecting good quality recordings right off the bat.
To celebrate, I'm posting a song that I wrote for a Percy Jackson fanfic. For some context, the character who is singing this song is my OC, Demos. He is the son of Dionysus and Aphrodite and is the Greek god of... a lot of things, to say the least. His backstory is very complicated, so all I'll say for now is that he was turned mortal by his parents and got adopted by the di Angelos and later, the Jacksons. A couple years after he went back to godhood, his adoptive brother Percy Jackson started dating the god Apollo. Demos wrote this song with the hope that he could sing it at their wedding. That song is called "Sing, o Muse (of When the Horizon Blooms)". I hope you enjoy it!

The Lovers of Apollo Club
They say it must be so inclusive
But true members are quite elusive
Instead of a thousand, there’s only, what, three of them?
Once I’m done tallying tragedies on my fingers
Let’s focus on a boy

Too popular for his own good
Too powerful for the king’s peace of mind
Every step he takes, he’s asking for disaster
But he’s his favourite anyway
I never thought I’d see the day


Moment by moment, I’m watching the latest Olympian romance bloom
Their future is so… bright
And as I’m walking through my gardens, I look into the distance and say

Sing, o Muse
Of when the horizon blooms
Of when the sun meets the sea
Look at this god forsaken fool you made me
Singing of a love that isn’t even mine

I’m constantly re-reading their chronicles
They love each other more than the ocean and the sky
But it’s not all sappy Tumblr poetry
Do you know?

I’m using the power of a prayer
Day in, day out, at an altar for the best god
To make sure that their life is like music, vast and magical
And there won’t be a single day without their light

Moment by moment, I’m watching two broken hearts heal
I always pinch myself to make sure it’s real
For the first time in centuries, I can hear him calling

Sing, o Muse
Of when the horizon blooms
Of when the sun meets the sea
Look at this god forsaken fool you’ve made me
Singing for a boy who’ll never be mine

‘Tis the sea-sun for love (ha ha ha)
I’m by the salt water springs
And doing nothing but waiting
It’s about time for new summer romances, and I’m hoping to fulfill my latest mission…

The boy flows with the currents
He’s afraid to love like he had once before
The god paces back and forth, trying to gather the words
But somehow he’s become a stuttering mess despite his normal eloquence

Every time they pass each other, there’s hope
But it’s for only sixty seconds
They always get too nervous
But, one fateful day, I overhear something…

“No more hypotheticals, my love. We only have our future to look forward to.”
It’s nothing more than a whisper, but it rings loud and true

And so the muses sing
Of when the horizon bloomed
Of when the sun met the sea
They’ve made us into god forsaken fools
Singing of a love we could never have
 
Reviving this again, hopefully more permanently this time around! I'll be posting more in-depth synopses of my works soon, but I did rewrite the introduction, so please give that a quick read!

The synopsis post automerged lol so this is a divider now ig

Crossposting this from my Tumblr and tweaking/adding onto it:

I have three major fanfiction projects in the works, one of which is a "PJO reads" fanfiction project in which the canon characters, plus some OCs, read Trials of Apollo. It's a continuation of some of my favourite series, which don't/won't go past Blood of Olympus, so most relationships are already pre-established.

After that saga, which will be 10 "books" long (ToA + CotG trilogy + TSATS duology), there will be a sequel about everyone's lives after the reading. That will end about two to three centuries after the reading with a major tragic event and a bittersweet ending, which you'll learn about in a few years once I get to writing it.

The whole series is the "canon" of my universe. All the lore, background information, relationships, etc., will be established at some point in that timeline.

The second project is the Apollodyssey, which is like fanfiction of my fanfiction. It is a PJO x EPIC the Musical AU, where I replace [most of] the EPIC characters with the ones from my "canon". If you don't know what EPIC is, it's basically the Odyssey as a musical. There are a lot of elements that confused everyone other than me at first, so I'm going to go over those.

First of all, let me get into the background. This fic is a combination of Percy Jackson and the Olympians and the Trials of Apollo, with elements from both series. What happened before the fic began was that Luke/Kronos teamed up with Python to take over Olympus. Apollo lost control of the Oracle of Delphi, which caused Zeus to turn him mortal and force him to lead the war against the opposition, and he wouldn't be turned back until he landed on home shores. This is my version of the Trojan War.

My version of Ithaca is Delos, but the royal palace isn't actually on the island. What is there is a temple to Percy, Apollo, and Grover, the three main residents of the Palace of the Horizon. The palace itself is directly above that temple, hidden from the average mortal. I'll explain the idea and lore of the Palace of the Horizon in the future. This is also why Grover is the equivalent of Telemachus in this AU. While he may not be Percy and Apollo's child, he is still their family. Also, his character is more like Telemachus than any of my Perpollo kid OCs.

While I switched most of the EPIC characters for my OCs or PJO characters, I kept the following ones the same: Aeolus, Poseidon, Circe, Hermes, Scylla, Zeus, Calypso, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Ares, and Hera. Athena is also in it, but I have special plans for her. Those characters will all have their PJO characterizations, except Aeolus, Circe, Scylla, and Calypso.

The third project is my Perpollo Royal AU: The Ocean's Prince, the Sun's King. I don't have much planned out yet, but I do plan to make it heavy on politics and overall worldbuilding. In this AU, the characters are all still Greek gods/goddesses, just with royal customs. The main plot of the story is that Apollo, Crown Prince of Olympus, is betrothed to Demos, Crown Prince of Bacchia (Dionysus and Ariadne's kingdom), but he instead falls in love with Perseus, the youngest Prince of Atlantis. Demos completely approves and he, along with Percy's brother, Prince Anteros, constantly tries to play Cupid. Royal chaos ensues.

I also have an original novel in progress called Through the Wreckage. The main couple, John and Carlos, are out on a date. Things are going great until they get in a car accident as they're driving back home. John falls into a coma, and angst ensues. We haven't worked on this in months, so the plot is barely there, but we're getting back into it.
