My Medea and Jason aus (because I love them and l like to yap sorry not sorry)
Immortal!Jason au
So, l actually thought of this while on a trip in Italy. In this au, instead of leaving Jason behind like in the myths, Medea decides that Jason would be more tortured by being immortal and never dying, so Jason is immortalized against his will and Medea kinda keeps him around like a pet and Jason just sticks around out because, naturally, she's more powerful than him. Medea still loves him but he acts cold out of spite knowing she will take it. She will take anything if it means he will be willing to stay. You might say "op that is toxic!" and to that I say "yeah no shit. It was toxic from the beginning. A mortal x immortal in Greek mythology is most likely toxic because of the HUGE power dynamic. (Also l wrote a fanfic about this au but it's explicit)
Modern retelling of Medea the play
THIS IS MY FAV. In this au it's Medea the play but modern and a little different. Medea is a rich woman named Maddie and Jason is... Well, Jason. Glauca, the princess Jason leaves Medea for in the play, is a rich college girl named Grace, babysitting their kids because her dad is tired of giving her money. And, as you might guess, Jason and Grace have an affair out of Medea's knowledge. I have so much ideas for this au but I don't know what to go with. But in the end Maddie kills her children and Grace in blind rage, that much l decided it had to be in the au.
Jason and Medea are the Bonnie and Clyde of Greek mythology
This is just "What if Medea trusted Jason that he still loved him and Jason was as crazy as her?". It goes like in the play, Jason gets engaged with the princess, BUT! Medea is surprisingly calm about it. The king worries her calmness = she has already planned our murders so he wants to set her to exile but Jason convinces him shes just fine. Anyway, Jason gets married, kills the king and the princess, and is like "Oh darn! I need a queen for this kingdom! Luckily, my ex/l am still married to wife is alive and well!" So they rule together. Happy ever after.

Jason and the argonauts as requested!
I know Atalanta isn’t a part of the argonauts in most interpretations, but I needed an excuse to draw her…

one must sometimes spare a thought for circe. not the circe found in madeline miller's novel, but the one homer spoke about.
born to a powerful titan in the age of the olympians, a sister to thousands of siblings. yet never important enough to guard helios' cattle, never pretty enough to be married off to a human king of crete. never smart enough to stand beside her father. simply circe. young, unspecial, forgotten circe.
of how she saw kinship form for her siblings, and how strongly they loved. her mother forgotten by her father, simply another nymph, or the man she loved so dearly but who never glanced at her.
the rage that must have filled her veins when glaucus dared to appear before her and beg for a potion to trick a woman into loving him. how she loved him so purely, but was rejected and used. the regret that came when scylla no longer looked like herself, and how even then glaucus did not want her.
never good enough. replacable. easily cast out by her father, banished to an island where she will mother neither sons nor daughters, and constantly be forced to raise the daughters of gods who wanted sons.
will they become her daughters one day? will she go above and beyond to protect them as her own mother did not protect her?
what did she think, i wonder, when her niece appeared before her grasping a sword bearing the blood of her nephew? what could have possibly gone through her head when she saw the insincere look hidden within jason's eyes? i wonder if the gods told her how he scorned medea eventually, the same way glaucus did her.
and then he appears and he is everything she has ever wanted. but day and night he speaks of his wife, even as he lays in the warmth of her arms, in her silken sheets, hidden behind her wooden door held up by the walls of her home.
he sails away and that is that. another chapter. another empty nothingness.
one must spare a thought for the goddess waiting alone on the shores of a forgotten island amidst daughters she did not mother waiting for a destiny she will never find.

Argonautica #9 "Bronze bulls and the Spartoi"
Book 3 continues with Jason, Mopsus the seer, and Argos on their way to meet Medea at the temple of Hekate. Hera, (transformed as a crow in a poplar tree) tell Mopsus to let Jason meet Medea alone, so Mopsus and Argos stay behind.
Outside the temple of Hekate, Jason implores Medea for help yoking the fire breathing bulls and the Spartoi warriors which will sprout from the dragon’s teeth. Jason recounts how Ariadne helped Theseus in the Minotaur’s labyrinth and the honors given to the maiden by the gods for her assistance. Medea offers the drug with instructions on the sacred rites to use it; Jason should purify his body in river water and sacrifice a sheep to Hekate upon a flaming pyre. Then anoint his naked body, shield, sword, and spear in the Prometheus drug ointment, which will make him impervious to harm for one full day. Jason, overwhelmed by her generosity, commits his life to her, offering to bring her back to Iolcos as his bride
The following day, wearing Ares armor, Jason rides to face his challenge to plow the field on the “Plain of Ares.” Here he is charged by two fire breathing bulls with bronze hooves, but he repels them with his shield. Surrounded by flames and smoke, he strikes the oxen down into submission and binds the yokes to their necks. He forces the roaring beasts on, ploughing the field and dropping the magic dragon’s teeth into the soil.
From the planted dragon’s teeth sprout the Spartoi: fully armed “earth-born” warriors. Remembering Medeas advice, Jason heaves a giant stone into their midst and in the confusion they turn upon one other in violence. In the chaos, Jason cuts down the remaining warriors. He has succeeded in his labors. Book 3 ends with King Aites leaving the field in bitter grief.

I feel like we don't talk about Odysseus's family enough, and I don't mean Penelope and Telemachus (their great but not who i mean), I mean Ctimene his sister or his father Laertes a actual Argonaut and his mother who was the daughter of Autolycus a great thief and son of Hermes AND ALSO Odysseus's is related to Jason, Anticlea's half sister is Polymede, Jasons mother, which means Jason brought his uncle on a quest, and his uncle lived longer then him.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the Percy Jackson series and all, but one thing I don’t like is the portrayal of Medea. Girl was NOT this evil, trickster witch who forced Jason to love her. The two were genuinely in love, but Jason was like “But I didn’t get my crown, so now I’m salty and I’m going to cheat on my wife so that way I can become a king.” That’s why Hera turned against him. Because she was his patron goddess and he cheated. When the PATRON GODDESS was the fucking GODDESS OF MARRIAGE. Dude wasn’t very smart. And in the story, Medea even explains her story to another king, who sympathizes with her situation and invites her to take refuge in his kingdom. The gods even took pity on her. Medea is a morally gray character, but not some super evil, going out of her way to hurt people who haven’t done anything to her, kind of character.
