Ishtar's Descent by An_Seanchai
Fandoms: Mesopotamian Mythology, Sumerian Religion, The Epic of Gilgamesh
08 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
'Inanna's Descent into the Underworld' is one of the oldest stories ever recorded. Inanna (or Ishtar, as she will be known for the most part here) - Goddess of Love, Sex, Fertility, War and Ruler-ship - descends to the Underworld to take from her sister, Ereshkigal - Goddess of the Dead and Queen of the Underworld (known both as Irkalla or Kur)- power over the dead.
The story is a moral tale of greed, justice and responsibility, and a pseudo-scientific explanation of the seasons. The story survives in both older Sumerian and later Akkadian texts, and I have taken from both (as well as my own creative liberty) to tell my own version of the tale. Later tradition would also tie this story into the wider framework of The Epic of Gilgamesh, in which the catalyst of this story can be found. Despite its 5,000+ year old age, some of the themes of the tale are strikingly familiar to modern audiences, featuring everything from sisterly rivalries to zombie apocalypses.
This is a personal exercise in creative writing, and any constructive criticism is more than welcome.- Language:

Dreams of Fire, an Epic Poem by ofelia_ferch_rhos
Fandoms: Ancient Greek Religion & Lore, The Iliad - Homer, The Odyssey - Homer, The Aeneid - Virgil, The Cypria - Stasinus, Ἀργοναυτικά - Ἀπολλώνιος Ῥόδιος | The Argonautica - Apollonius of Rhodes

Summary
An Epic Poem, written entirely in the iambic pentameter, telling the story of the events that precipitated the Trojan War. From Paris' birth to the landing of the Greek ships at Troy.
This story, in terms of style, is heavily rooted in Homeric epics, whilst using tropes of modern familiar genres such as the Gothic. It tells an ancient pre-war story which appeals to the modern audience, over whom global war seems to be looming once again.
In its entirety, this poem will be 12 Books long, each book lasting around 15 rhapsodies. Rhapsodies are fairly short, and will be taking the form of 'chapters'. And so, although it will only be ~7,000 lines when finished (in a very, very long time from now), don't be put off if the chapter count sits within the hundreds.Also thank you so much to kora_juno for reading my drafts and giving feedback and helping me get to grips with ao3. :)))

Summary
You’d think after dying and living and dying and being reborn for so many times, life would start getting boring. You’d be right, but alas, Zuko must, as a wise person once said, “suck it up and deal with it” But just because Zuko has not a singular fuck left, doesn’t mean he will leave Azula with Ozai, or Iroh, or Lu Ten, and- oh yeah, the gaang. Okay that’s- a lot.
Welp, this is going to take a while.
