ALT Olek finally turned her gaze to him, her eyes flashing to his lips. “I think we should go to bed.” Ronan rose to his full height, his hands found hers again. “I think that’s best.” They stood there for a moment, their eyes meeting. They were like the ground and grass intertwined to make earth whole again.

ALT Art of Melinoe and Fravartiš wedding with both looking down solemnly, done by nataliab_draws A black block takes up majority of page and carries white text. Text reads: Excerpt “I will eradicate all of you," Kúlon whispered. "And all you will be remembered for is your name, aipéteupa. Your souls are forever mine. Your magic, forever extinguished. All you will ever be capable of doing again" -he yanked the dóru out before Melinoe could pull its point into her weakened heart- "is screaming." Kúlon stepped backwards, leaving her in a heap, pressing a hand to the gushing wound, and he nodded to his drákön. "Amphísbai!" he shouted, urging the drákön's head down so he could grab the spines on its neck to hoist himself onto an ephíppion that rested between its shoulders. "Burn her." Melinoe laid her head in the ash, and her breath rattled as Amphisbai reared its massive head back like a serpent prepared to strike. Its grey wings flared out, and its front legs creaked, claws digging
ALT Three marble statues of women with green text reading "Medusa Survives This Time," a red paint stroke is over the middle statue's eyes. White text at the bottom reading "A Greco-Roman Retelling by Addy Lopez."
ALT Graphic with a purple background and lilac text reading: “Medusa Survives This Time by Addy Lopez, revisions in progress…. For the past four and a half year, 27-year-old Medusa has been living a life of solitude after being cursed by the Goddess Athena and shunned by the entirety of New Olympus. What crime would warrant such a heinous punishment? She seduced the God of the Ocean, Poseidon, and slept with him. At least, that’s what everyone believes happened. MEDUSA SURVIVES THIS TIME is a speculative adult retelling of the Greco-Roman Medusa myth with a Sapphic romance subplot. Perfect for fans of mythology retellings with a modern twist as portrayed in LORE OLYMPUS by Rachel Smythe, stories that address darker social themes similar to WEYWARD by Emilia Hart, and rooting for wronged women learning to embrace their anger and love themselves.” An illustration of Medusa and Ruth (a blind Black woman wearing a yellow top and green jeans with a sunflower embroidered on the hip/thigh).
