Pyrrha - A Play by PyrrhaIphis
Fandoms: Ancient Greek Religion & Lore, The Iliad - Homer

Summary
A play loosely based on the 18th century operetta “Achilles in Petticoats,” but removing the songs, replacing Roman names with Greek ones, substituting Patroclos in the place of a character invented for the operetta, reducing the misogyny as much as possible, giving the title character some actual agency, adding a mythologically accurate (sort of) subplot, and dispensing with the original’s disgustingly non-climactic, pat, heteronormative ending with one that’s a little more satisfying dramatically and not so hetero.
It may be worth noting that I first wrote this play back in 2015, and have little revisited it since (and have not revisited its original since at all) though I did make some edits before posting it here.
(As the central conceit of the original myth, the operetta and this new version all center around a teenage boy dressed as a girl, there are many ways the story may offend people. For this reason, the entire first chapter is dedicated to the possible problems, so please read that if any of this subject matter might be sensitive for you. The actual play starts in chapter two.)

Summary
“Welcome home!” Apollo threw his arms out as he lead his brothers into their new living room. Their not so glorious or godly living room. “It is… small,” Dionysus commented. He didn’t feel the need to hide his scepticism. “It is authentic,” Apollo explained. “If we are going to pretend to be mortals, we need to live like mortals. We couldn’t very well get a penthouse apartment, now could we?” “Why not?” Hermes asked as he closed the door to the apartment behind them. “I have a penthouse in Chicago. It is nice.”

El Juicio de Perséfone by SlyPrincess98

Summary
Nacida en los '90, universitaria, bajita y con muchos amigos humanos: Perséfone realmente tiene un pésimo currículo divino. Los mortales no le rinden culto, los Dioses no la invitan a sus eventos, y eso funciona para ella. O al menos eso es lo que cree.
Todo cambia cuando conoce a Hades, Dios de los muertos, en una ponencia. Él también tiene sus problemas: trescientos mil años de edad, siete pies de alto, al menos veinte títulos en su nombre. Pero también es el único que comprende la pasión de Perséfone por las leyes, así como el único que parece tan incómodo como ella entre las otras deidades. ¿Cómo podrían no entenderse?
Ellos entrelazarán sus destinos y trabajarán juntos para resolver un juicio controversial, colaborando en una investigación en la corte del Inframundo. Y también, entre la ironía y la seriedad, la justicia y el rigor, la vida y la muerte, esta es una (semi) moderna interpretación de un mito que nunca dejó de contarse. -
