MODERN MEDUSA AU

Okay, so you know how women viewed Medusa's "curse" as a gift from Athena to protect her because she couldn't punish the real guilty party (fucking Olympus boys' club) so she turned Medusa into a Gorgon, right?

Well, I want a modern au where, instead of hiding tragically in a cave until she's killed and used by ANOTHER man, she becomes a vigilante! Like sunglasses to control her gaze, a head wrap to hide her snakes, like, by night she goes out on the city, seeking justice and turning unrepentant rapists (especially ones who got away) into stone, then by day she's an artist and she sells the statues as art.

Someone notices that she's got all these statues of missing people, but she just waits until after they're reported missing before selling them, and says that she goes off of missing persons as part of the symbolism.

Victims are the first people she offers them to so she can give them the cathartic release of destroying them. Victims get them free, and if they don't want to smashy smash THEN she sells them
