Behind the Mask

A Modern Sapphic Retelling of trans Perseus x Medusa

Sese has worked hard to provide a good life for herself and her mother, Dana, as far as possible from the toxic influences of her mafia boss father. When Sese finds out her parents have reconnected despite her best efforts, her father offers her a deal: complete three tasks for him, and he'll leave her and Dana alone for good.

The tasks? Embezzlement, arson, and one murder.

It's nothing Sese can't handle...so long as she doesn't get too distracted by a chance encounter with her ex-girlfriend. Sese and M. Gorgo parted on amicable terms rather than try a long-distance relationship, but now the botanist is back, and covering her whole face with a mask. What is M hiding? Can Sese finally get over her? And will Sese and her mother ever be truly free?
