Mythological figure – other
Do Zla Boga by Kangeiko
'So why, astute readers may wonder, do some older gods survive?...If I tell you it is good deeds and miracles, you will know that I am lying.' A dark Gaimanesque tale, with a wonderful narrative voice
[Added 01/02/2011; Drama; 1000-2500; Neil Gaiman – American Gods; Characters: Czernobog, Zorya Polunochnaya, Zorya Utrennyaya, Koliada, Mr Ibis, OCs]
the green, green grass of home by Apricot
'Shadow wondered if she'd come to Los Angeles to be an actress, or a dancer. ... The woman sitting next to him wasn't unattractive, but she had a face that ought to have been captured in marble, rather than in film.' Apricot creates a real feel of canon in miniature here, with a road trip, potent dreams & plenty of new gods to meet

The Journey West by Oyce
'They forget Monkey was born of stone, not womb, they forget Monkey creates new monkeys from handfuls of fur, chewed up and spat out.' Original & beautifully crafted, 'The Journey West' packs a surprising amount into very few words
[Added 11/11/2008; Drama; <1000; Neil Gaiman – American Gods; Characters: Monkey, OCs]
A Way Out by Empy
'Not even fair-metal hair, magically spun and crafted by dwarves could outlast the march of time and their slow fall out of memory and grace.' Empy expands a throwaway line in the novel, and gives us a much darker Loki than is found in most fanfiction
[Added 25/11/2011; Drama; 1000-2500; Neil Gaiman – American Gods; Characters: Thor, Loki]
