Summary
So, the lovely crew of Epic: the Musical are reacting to the musical, duh. I have thrown in a bit of a twist, but I'm not gonna spoil it here. Working on the tags and shit, promise. For the moment I don't plan to add anyone else, but I might change that, haven't decided yet.

Sharing is Caring (And Caring leads to Healing) by DorkyFangirl24

Summary
“How long were you there?” A long pause. Odysseus still wide eyed, staring blankly in front of him. As the silence grew, Telemachus almost asked again before a whisper cut through the silence. “7 years.”
When Odysseus gets home, he struggles with what has happened to him. Particularly with what she did. When he gets overwhelmed by his memories, he breaks down and tells his family just what he went through to get home to them. What he endured, and in turn learns how he got off the forsaken island in the first place. Just who exactly helped him and finds comfort in the fact that his family will always be there to catch him when he feels like falling into the dark pit he is sure he deserves to be in.
Athena is sure that after she tells them just what she did to help Odysseus they will reject her as their patron. She clearly wasn't strong enough so how could they ever want her as their goddess. She hopes they will at least let her train Telemachus. Maybe then she will redeem herself and be able to sleep at night.
This is a story of found family, love, acceptance, and healing.

Summary
"Penelope did not know what it was, this shining image that visited her. A ghost, she was tempted to say. But that was impossible. The mirage gleamed too brightly to be a ghost, and Odysseus was not dead. Odysseus was too clever to be dead."
"She was a trick. She had to be. A damned Calypso trick. She was made of light, or starshine, or ocean foam. Not real. Impossible. His Penelope was on Ithaca. His Penelope was as old as he was. His Penelope was waiting."
--
Odysseus sees flashes of the Spartan princess he fell in love with while languishing on Calypso's island. Penelope sees fleeting glimpses of the mischievous king she married while alone in Ithaca.

Summary
“I have another boy at home,” the wistful king murmured, his words leaving his lips with the burdensome weight of memory. “Much older than you by now… the last I saw him, he wasn’t yet half your size. But he lives very far from here, on another isle across the sea.”
His own eyes stared back at him, unreactive to his words. His son was just an infant, but Odysseus realized that even if he were of rational age, he couldn’t possibly understand what he was saying. The child didn't know what existed beyond the idyllic, gilded shores of Ogygia. He didn't know of smiling people, and kingdoms, and war. The glittering isle had consumed the entirety of his life. Odysseus felt his grip around him tighten.
“You won't die on these shores, boy of mine. I swear it on my life.”

Summary
Because if this did work, it changed so much. It meant he had another chance, and another, maybe infinite chances. He could keep his promises, he could fix his mistakes. He could get them home alive.
No matter how long it took, he would get them home alive.
