new theme ⁉️

it looks so good 🤭

🥰🥰🥰 I'm glad that you like it! ❤️

[aphroditelovesu]

Are you still into tvd/to at all what characters are you most interested in writing?

Yes, I am! Actually, I've been rewatching TVD and then I'll rewatch TO, so I'm definitely into it.

I don't have a preference for characters, to be honest. I'd be happy to write for any of them! 🥰

Hello I wanted to ask, are you going to make a halloween special like the Christmas special. I wonder how ancient Romans would react to modern-day candy 🍬

Hi! Yes, I'd be happy to do it. I love a good modern-day festivities with historical figures.

For the Roman emperors, specifically? 😊

So, during this time that I was sick, I've been writing offline and working on some things (both for tumblr and other things) and I had the opportunity to do another story for @glimmerfics! 🥰

It's set in the Sandman universe and takes place after the first season and, instead Morpheus getting "better" he's getting... Worse. Yandere, obviously, and based on an imagine I did a while back. There are only four more episodes left to finish, but I'll be editing that by tomorrow to make it complete. Six have already been released. :)

So, for those of you who are asking me for more Sandman stuff (and I also write on tumblr) and also for those of you who love my writing (❤️), I hope you like it! ❤️😊

hi i just came back from reading the new chapter im sobbing so hard... this saved me fr... I just finished my vacation before returning to college, and seeing the update made me incredibly happy! I hope everything in ur life gets better and better every day! maybe MAYBE i'll do fanarts of this new chapter... thanks for everything. PS: I SAW SOME OF THE ANSWERS OF OTHER ASKS AND I'M SCREAMIIIIING LIKE I KNEW THE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL HAD SOMETHING ON. I KNEW IT WASNT ONLY AN SPECIAL IM GOING CRAZY. All these months, I was rambling to my friends about my theories on what would happen in the future and mentioning the Christmas special every time, to the point where they made fun of me every time I mentioned the special again LMAO

Aaaaaah 🥺 I hope you have a good time in college. I know how sad it is when the school break/vacation is over 💔

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ah, thank you, anon!! I hope the same for you 🥰 you're so kind 💛 💓 haha, I'd love to see fanarts in case you want to do :)))

I know the story seems a bit confusing at the moment, but trust me, everything will lead to an ending!!! ☝🏻 And yesss, the special has some elements of the future of the story 😉

Well... You can tell your friends that you weren't wrong! ❤️🫣

[aphroditelovesu]

Not to be rude, but in the prolouge the queen runs away and he captured her. Is that part incorporated into the story? Its what drew me into The Alexander's queen.

Ah, yes.

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about the prologue and everything will head in that direction. Once the Reader gets back to the past, it'll lead to the prologue! It's still a yandere story 🥰 it might not look right now but it's all part of the plan.

In a few chapters, you'll see it! :)

Apollo knew — with the conviction of someone who had lived for millennia — that that rule existed for a reason. A cruel but necessary reason. The direct involvement of gods with mortals always came at a price. And he knew that price better than anyone.

He had paid it before.

The memory of Cassandra still lingered in his mind like an ancient shadow that never quite dissipated. It wasn't an open wound—he no longer bled for her — but it was still a nagging reminder of her own arrogance and unbridled power. He had given her a gift. A divine gift. She had rejected him. And out of pride, out of a wounded ego, he had cursed her.

At the time, it had seemed fair. Today... Today, he wasn't sure if that had been justice or just vanity as a form of punishment.

He didn't exactly feel guilty — the gods rarely do. But there was also no peace within him when he thought of her. Only a quiet, cold emptiness.

After her, Apollo promised himself he would keep his distance. He still observed humanity from above, sometimes with fascination, sometimes with contempt, but always with the necessary detachment. He bestowed blessings on those who revered him, brief favors on those who sparked his interest, inspiration on artists who caught his eye... But nothing intimate, nothing close. Nothing that could make him feel again.

And it worked.

For centuries, it worked.

Until you.

You were not a cursed princess, nor a supplicant priest. You asked him for nothing. You didn't try to impress him, you didn't bow down, you didn't beg for light or gifts. You simply existed. And that was what drew him so overwhelmingly — your raw, imperfect, and absurdly alive humanity.

Apollo tried, with all the discipline forged over centuries, to keep his distance. He pretended not to notice the way your laughter lit up any room more than the sun ever could. He ignored the way your presence shattered the layers of coldness and disinterest he'd carefully constructed.

But gods, even the oldest, are not immune to fate.

And almost immediately, he found himself fascinated by you.

Not just by your body or your beauty — although that, too, inevitably drew him. But by your soul. By the unique spark you carried. By the way you looked at the world, as if there was still magic in it, even without knowing the gods were nearby.

He knew what could happen if he got too close. He knew the chaos divine love could wreak on a human heart — and vice versa. But even so...

He moved closer to you.

Like a fool. Like a god.

Like a man.

Apollo tried to resist.

He swore to himself — more than once — that it would pass. That the fascination was merely curiosity, a fleeting distraction, like so many others he had felt over the centuries. But gods aren't as good at lying to themselves as they think. And Apollo, with all his power and wisdom, was no exception.

Because every gesture of yours drew him closer. Every word, every silence, every imperfection that made you real. He watched in secret, from the rays of sunlight streaming through your window, to the golden breeze that caressed your skin as you walked. He was present in small details — in the inspired dreams you barely knew where they came from, in the moments when the warmth of the day seemed to embrace you.

He was there. Always.

And you had no idea.

Until one day, he made a mistake.

He got too close.

Not as a god. But as a man. In the flesh. A charming stranger, with a warm smile and golden eyes that seemed to know all the secrets of the universe. You couldn't say why you trusted him so quickly — there was something about him that was... Familiar. Warm. Alluring. Frightening.

Apollo didn't lie. He omitted.

He didn't say who he was. But he also didn't pretend to be something he wasn't. He just was... Himself. And for the first time in ages, he allowed himself to simply exist with someone. To laugh. To talk. To listen. To feel.

And you felt it too.

The connection was inevitable. Almost cruel in its intensity. There was something there that went beyond any logical explanation. A bond that grew between you, day after day, even when he tried to pull away. Even when you sensed something was wrong. Something dangerous.

And then the truth came.

Perhaps he confessed, in a moment of weakness. Or perhaps you discovered on your own, noticing that the light seemed to follow your steps, that your inspiration came from a place not of this world. But the moment arrived.

And with it, the weight of reality.

He was a god. An immortal, eternal being. You were mortal. Fragile. Fleeting.

And that was forbidden.

The mere existence of that feeling threatened to break ancient rules, unearth forgotten tragedies, awaken the wrath of forces not even Apollo dared to challenge. He knew it. He knew. But still...

"I shouldn't have," Apollo said to himself, his eyes filled with suppressed pain, "but I can’t stay away from you."

The choice was there. Simple. Cruel.

If he stayed, the world might burn. If he left, his heart would burn first.

And perhaps, for the first time since Cassandra, he didn't know what to do.

You couldn't quite tell when you realized it.

Maybe it was the way he always knew what you needed, even before you said it. Maybe it was when time seemed to stop around him, as if the world bowed reverently to his presence. Or maybe it was in his eyes — those blue eyes with touches of gold, so ancient and sad, as if they carried the weight of all ages.

But the truth... It came like a whisper.

An ancient name, echoing in a dream. A forgotten book open to a page marked with sunlight. A strange murmur of strangers, staring at you on the street as if recognizing something impossible. The pieces began to fit together. And when you realized what he was, the response wasn't anger. Nor denial.

It was dread.

A dread born of love.

Because loving a man is simple. Sometimes it can be complicated and painful, but it was simple.

But loving a god?

It's dangerous. Forbidden.

You researched, read, and scoured everything you could — about him, about the Greek gods, about those who dared to love the immortals before you. And what you found chilled you to the core. Stories of mortals driven mad, consumed, destroyed. Cursed. Tragedies that seemed like legends... Until now.

And then you saw the truth.

Loving Apollo was forbidden.

Not by human rules. But by decrees that came from the heights of Olympus. Out of fear of what had happened before, of what he had caused before. Cassandra. Daphne, Hyacinth, and so many others. They had names. They had pain. They had consequences.

And you knew, deep in your heart, that you would be just another one if you continued.

So you ran.

No explanations. No looking back. Just the hurried sound of your footsteps and the desperation of someone trying to escape something divine. You didn't leave a note, didn't answer calls, didn't wait for the sun to set — which would have been too poetic for someone trying to escape the sun itself.

But he found you.

Of course he did.

The sun grew stronger as he noticed your absence. And the heat changed — no longer gentle, comforting... But burning. Impatient. Sad.

You were hiding in a small town, under a false name, trying to convince yourself it was for the best. That you needed to forget him. That he would forget you too.

But on the third night, he appeared.

Not as a god.

But as a wounded man.

"You ran away from me." Apollo's voice was low, thick, wounded by your betrayal. "Why?"

You wanted to say "because I love you, but I can't live with being just another tragedy in your story."

You wanted to scream that it was because you were too human for that.

But what came out of your mouth was, "Because this is wrong. You know it is. This... We... This shouldn't be happening."

There was silence.

And then he said, with a sadness so human it hurt you, "I know. But I'd rather defy Zeus himself... Than live another millennia without touching you."

Apollo looked at you as if the entire world were crumbling before him. Not from wars or catastrophes — but from a single word you were about to say.

"I can't, Apollo."

You saw his eyes change.

The glow that had enveloped him like summer began to waver. In its place was an immense pain... And something else. Something ancient. Something divine. That force that destroyed cities on a whim, that brought plagues out of pride, that inspired beauty and caused madness.

You wanted to pull away, but he didn't budge.

The fury of a rejected god.

"You don't want me?" Apollo asked, his voice low, tense, like a string about to snap.

"I love you," You said, and that was the most painful truth of your life. "But I can't be one more. I don't want to be a memory, a statue, a legend, or a tragedy. I am human. I want to live. To choose. To forget, if necessary."

The words struck him like arrows.

And something in him broke.

For an instant, the air grew denser, the ground beneath his feet trembling subtly, as if the earth itself feared the god's reaction. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, but it wasn't a human breath. It was the breath of someone trying to contain a power about to overflow.

"So that's it?" Apollo whispered. "You'd rather reject me... Leave me?"

You nodded. A silent gesture. Trembling.

Apollo opened his eyes.

And in them was the fury of the sun.

"I gave you everything. My attention. My affection. My love. And you, little mortal... Do you think you can just walk away?"

You stepped back, but he didn't come any closer. He didn't need to. The world around you was already beginning to bend to his power.

"I can't allow this," Apollo murmured, almost sadly. "Do you want to live as a human? Do you want to forget? Then I'll give you eternity. An eternity that will never escape me."

Before you could react, you felt something different in the air. A dry, intense heat. Your body began to feel light, too light. Your feet rooted themselves to the ground. Your skin stiffened, your arms stretched out against their will.

You screamed, but the sound was swallowed by the wind.

Leaves.

Leaves grew from your fingers, your hair became golden branches, and your skin... Bark.

Apollo watched it all, silent.

There, where you had stood as a human, now stood a laurel tree.

Strong. Firm. Stunningly beautiful.

And unable to move, to run.

He approached, ran his fingers over the leaves with a sickening tenderness.

"Now, you will never leave me."

And with a final touch, he made the scent of that tree unique. No other laurel tree in the world would have that scent. That presence. That subtle lament that danced with the wind.

And he made a crown from the branches.

And wore it, just as he had done with Daphne.

Because if you could not be his as a human... Then you would be his glory.

His forever and ever.

So, I FINALLY got the chance to read chapter 22. Firstly, I'm glad that we finally got some answers as to what Reader's family has been doing since she disappeared. Hooray for continuity and closure! It was also nice to see the confirmation that Reader is having twins, and that they're a boy and girl, even though we all knew way before pregnancy was introduced in the story. I, for one, am excited to see how Alexander will react to it being twins.

The one thing I'm am wondering how and when our girl will be sent back. My personal theory is that Aslan will pop up and basically say: "It's nice to see that you've caught up with your family and friends. Anywho, it's time to go back, so..." IDK, that seems like something that asshole would do. Hopefully we'll get to see more of him in the next few chapters. Aslan has quickly become one of my favorites, and I'm excited to learn what he's planning, especially with Roxanna.

That's all I've got for now. Sorry that it could be longer or in more parts. I've been incredibly busy 😪.

Until chapter 23 💚💙❤️!

--O-

Scrolling through my inbox while answering you guys and I just found your "ask"! 🤗

I wanted to give some attention to Reader's family because they deserve it after all the stress they've been through (my fault). To be honest, I used my family as a basis for writing lol, they were my guinea pigs and they don't even know it 🤭🥰

And thanks, I'm glad you noticed! I like to avoid leaving plot holes as much as possible because I always get frustrated when they become too obvious when I'm reading something lol.

Alexander is so close to finding out about the twins, and I'm so excited to write this part and share it! I already have ideas for what it's going to be like 👀

👀

Well... She will indeed go back to the past, but things will also happen. I don't want to give any spoilers, but let's just say that something similar to what's in the Christmas special serves as a spoiler for the future chapters 😛

Aslan hasn't finished playing with Reader or the others yet, so stay tuned! And soon what he is will be revealed too. 😳

He was my first OC, and I confess he's also one of my favorites. He's still going to get up to a lot of mischief and will have a special relationship with Reader, as will be shown! ❤️

As always, it was really nice to read your thoughts and I hope you are doing ok, anon! 🥰

[aphroditelovesu]

[aphroditelovesu]

[aphroditelovesu]

Hello! I'm a big fan of your stories about Alexander the Great. They're really good and exciting.

I just want to ask a simple favor about your Janitor.AI Alexander bot. Can you turn on "PROXY" please? It allows us users to utilize other LLMs other than JLLM cuz JLLM always forgets the things that have already happened.

I really want my interactions with you Alexander bot to be more dynamic because it's such a good bot! 😍✨✨

Anyways, thank you for bringing us all the best stories!

Oh, of course! I'll allow it right now! 🥰

And I'm happy that you are enjoying it. ❤️
