Hi everyone just like the summary described this is a place where I am going to put all of my old and unfinished stories. Some of these are years old and may have a lot of mistakes. Some are newer, and I would love to see them written to completion but I'm already working on three separate stories with two more that I would like to pick up again some day. So with that in mind I wanted to post these stories in hopes that someone else might pick them up. Because of my love for alternate parentage Harry Potter stories that is what most of them are. Again only one is a Spidermam/Avengers crossover. I hope you enjoy reading them and if you have any desire to take on the idea let me know by PM so I can add your story to the bottom of the page so that everyone will be able to read them.

So here's the first story this is a Percy Jackson/ HP crossover where Medusa and Poseidon are Harry's parents.

In the Deep

Prologue: The Lost Boy

In a dark cave hidden deep within the mountains a woman with snakes in place of hair sat crooning a melody to her young babe. A long ridged snake tail made of gold, tan, and cream-colored scales curled around the hand made cradle where she gently rocked her son. The tail began just below her belly button, and stretched quite a few feet. The snakes upon her head, which were made up of the same colors as her tail, swayed gently with the melody. The baby boy in the cradle carved with various sea animals smiled, and reached a small hand up towards his mother.

To the world Medusa was a feared and hated creature. Her emerald-eyed gaze turned all others who had the misfortune to look upon her to stone, killing them instantly. But not her child. Medusa had been so pleased to discover her cursed gaze did not affect her son. Her child was the only thing that kept her going in life after the ill fate that had befallen her. Medusa had made one mistake. She was in love and she never meant any disrespect to Athena. Medusa foolishly thought the goddess would be understanding of their star-crossed love. Medusa's parents didn't approve of her lover. They were old, primordial sea gods, Phorcys and Ceto while her lover was the current ruler and master of the seas, Poseidon. They simply didn't get along well, and if they were to discover their relationship they would surely cause trouble for Poseidon. Medusa was their youngest and most beautiful daughter, and they would not take kindly to them being together. So the two of them had to hide their relationship from them.

Medusa and Poseidon did everything they could to keep her parents form discovering them. One of their rendezvous occurred in one of Athena's temples. The Goddess of Wisdom had been less than pleased with Medusa and Poseidon. There was nothing that she could do to Poseidon due to his power and status among the gods. Medusa, however, had been free game. The goddess cursed her taking away her beautiful golden tresses and replacing them with snakes. She further humiliated her by taking away her wings, and giving her the lower half of a snake so that she who once flew through the sky was now forced to slither along the ground on her belly. The last insult was to make Medusa's gaze deadly so that no one would be able to look upon her beautiful face ever again. Even to the gods her gaze would cause discomfort.

The change made Medusa an outcast among others and she fled to a deep, dark cave to escape those who wished to destroy her for her new statist as a monster. Poseidon had been enraged but there was nothing he could do to reverse the effects. Medusa had felt so lost. Poseidon could barely stand to be in her presence because of the pain her gaze caused, and the guilt he felt for being the cause for her curse. She was certain she was doomed to a lonely eternity. But then she discovered she was pregnant. Medusa was thrilled then she was terrified. She worried that her child would have been affected by Athena's curse, and would be made a monster like herself. She worried that her gaze would harm her own child, and she would not be able to raise her baby the only good thing to come out of her tryst with Poseidon in the temple.

In due time Medusa gave birth to a son, and Medusa was saddened to see that her son had partially inherited her curse. He had been born with the black and silver ringed tail of a sea serpent. Poseidon was able to gift their son with ability to switch between legs and his tail. But other than the tail her son was perfect. He looked a great deal like his father with thick black curls, and golden tanned skin. He had Medusa's eyes, a brilliant jewel tone emerald. Medusa's baby boy was strong, and already showing signs of being gifted with Medusa's own sorcery abilities. Poseidon also was thrilled at their son's birth, and he came by as often as possible to see him. Medusa hoped that one day he could leave the caves and have a life among others, and not be locked away like she was.

Medusa lifted the boy from his cradle when it was clear he was not going to go to sleep. Her son was soon to be a year old already. Time passed so quickly, Medusa was pleased that her son was an immortal, a child of one of the Big Three, and she would never be parted from him.

"Medusa, so this is where you've hidden yourself away."

Medusa whirled to see Athena standing in the entryway to the cave.

"Athena," Medusa hissed.

"A child? You've had a child?" Athena questioned eyes narrowing in contemplation. "No doubt conceived when you and Poseidon desecrated my sacred temple."

"You will not touch him," Medusa began to slither backward away from the goddess.

Medusa may have been an immortal and the daughter of old gods but Athena was a goddess of the pantheon and one of the most powerful of the goddesses. She could easily overpower her.

"Give him to me Medusa. This was to be your punishment," Athena commanded.

"Never," Medusa hissed, the snakes on her head snapping and snarling as they sensed her mood.

Rather than allow Athena to take or kill her child Medusa called forth her magic and cast a powerful spell. A spell that would send her son far away from Athena, to a place where Medusa would be able to collect him later. However, in her hast, Medusa cast the spell incorrectly. Instead of sending him far across the land she unknowingly sent him through time.

Thwarted by Medusa, Athena left her be. Medusa went in search of the safe location she had sent her child only to find him missing. Calling on Poseidon's aid the two of them searched the Earth only to find the child nowhere to be found. Medusa broke down and wept fearful that Athena had gotten to her child before she could. She was determined to continue searching for him until she discovered his fate.

Medusa searched for many, many years before finally giving up, and accepting that her beloved child was forever lost to her. Her only comfort was that Athena had not gotten her hands on her son. But that small comfort did not save her. Medusa turned into a bitter, angry creature. She indiscriminately killed all those who came near her caves, and eventually she gained a reputation as vicious, monstrous beast. Poseidon felt guilty for not coming to Medusa and his son's aid quicker. He was enraged at Athena for the loss of his beloved son began a feud with the goddess that would last for hundreds of years, and would never truly be resolved.

Heroes would come and go throughout the years in attempt to slay Medusa. Finally one would be successful in decapitating her. At her decapitation by the demi-god hero Perseus, son of Zeus, drops of her blood would form into two more children of Medusa and Poseidon's. One would be a giant, Chrysaor, and the other the legendary winged horse, Pegasus. But they would not fill the hole in Medusa's heart for her first lost child. For Medusa would be reborn as all monsters were fated to do, and every time she was she lost a little bit more of herself to her bitter hatred.

Hundreds of years in the future a young couple came upon a heavily warded magical place. The young couple was from a magical race of people of witches and wizards, and was therefore capable of entering the magical protections. Within the protections they found a child all alone. A baby boy who was not yet even a year old yet. His hair was as black as night, his skin a soft golden tan, and he bore the most beautiful emerald green eyes either of them had ever seen. The childless couple, James and Lily Potter, gladly took the baby home with them. They had lost their own baby boy only months before from a very bad case of Dragon Pox. Only their closest friend knew of the death, and so it was a simple thing to have everyone believe the boy was their son. After all, the boy had the same black hair as James, and his emerald green eyes were quite similar to Lily's own.

Lily and James loved the boy as if he was truly their own. Unfortunately, they were unable to keep him for long. Only a couple of short months after the baby came into their lives, they were murdered. The dark wizard who murdered them attempted to do the same to the boy but the spell backfired. The baby was of godly origins. His father was the sea god and his mother was the daughter of gods and a powerful immortal creature in her own right. The spell was incapable of killing him. In fact it bounced off of him and struck the dark wizard destroying his body and sending his spirit fleeing into the night.

The boy was taken to his relatives, or those they believed to be his relatives. He was treated with scorn and hatred for the first few years of his life. He was even more different than the Dursleys had expected him to be. They were utterly certain that the boy was a monster, and they treated him accordingly.

Chapter 1: Snake in the Grass

Eight-year-old Harry James Potter was sitting in the backyard of his relative's suburban home. It was evening, and the Dursleys were enjoying a nice meal while Harry remained outside. His relatives hated him, and he just didn't understand why. He tried so hard to be a good boy. It wasn't his fault that bad things always seemed to happen around him. When he got upset water would shoot from the faucets and pipes, and looking directly into his eyes made people feel sick.

Harry didn't know why he was different he just knew that it made his relatives dislike him. It was why they were inside eating a nice meal while Harry was outside hungry once again. It was while his stomach was rumbling that a snake chasing a field mouse stumbled upon him.

Feeling bad for the little mouse for he knew what it was like to be chased as his cousin and his friends often chased him, he quickly snatched it up.

"What'd you do that for?" hissed the snake in anger as Harry held the quivering mouse close.

"It's not nice," Harry replied. "Wait, you're a snake. How can I understand you?"

"How am I supposed to know? I'm just a snake, and you're the rude kid who stole my dinner," the snake replied snappishly.

"I'm talking to a snake," Harry murmured in shock.

"Yup, now, can I have my mouse back now?" the snake questioned

There are a couple of different legends surrounding Medusa. In one she was said to have been born a winged gorgon with two sisters who already had the ability to turn men to stone. Of her two sisters she was said to be the only mortal one making it possible for Perseus to kill her. In the other legend she was a beautiful maiden who Poseidon desired. He took her by force in a temple of Athena and Athena punished her by turning her into an ugly monster with snakes for hair and whose gaze turned men to stone. There are also conflicting views on the birth of her two children Pegasus and Chrysaor. In some they are born naturally from Poseidon's rape and in others they are born from the drops of blood that she shed when Perseus cut off her head. I put my own twist on these legends along to fit with Harry being involved and with trying to keep it consistent with Rick Riordan's version for example monsters are constantly being reborn after they are slayed. Hopefully it wasn't too confusing, and of course you could change things to fit your own ideas.
