Summary
"You never swore to fight for my marriage," Helen began.
Patroclus's hand twitched before his gaze returned to where it was. "No, I didn't. Achilles did."
***
Achilles, brave Achilles, dropped his sword and ran to him. No one dared move as he grabbed his shoulder and a moment later Achilles's lips were on his and Patroclus was home.
"Oh, no," Polites muttered at the edge of his vision.
***
"It's fine," said Odysseus, surprising even himself. "It's fine, I want to see Telemachus. He and his mother are all I've fought for."
***
The story where a prophecy leads Achilles to Patroclus, Menelaus to Helen, and everyone else into a ditch.

Summary
I recently read Lavender_Hyacinths' AU of what if Percy Jackson is Odysseus reincarnated and I really love it! Read it if you haven't already.
Therefore, I'm making this what if scenario of how it could play out.
This is based on Lavender_Hyacinths' AU. I'm just making a what if scenario.
*Start of it*
"Poseidon, you cruel heartless bastard!" Athena yelled.
"Ah, so you've figured it out," Poseidon said with a chuckle.
"Yes, I have! How could you. Odysseus' family and friends have been waiting in the Underworld for literal millennia to come back to them! Penelope grieves everyday, Telemachus just wants to know who his father was, and this is what you do! You take his soul and reincarnate him over and over again so he can never reach them!?"

Who else could he be reborn as but Percy Jackson? And he isn't the only one to be reborn ... and remembering the past can shape the future.

Summary
Polites, Odysseus noted, had regained some of the weight he had lost in the past ten years. He wore a simple chiton and the ever-present bandana in his hair.
The years had damaged it but he still refused to cut his hair, as Eurylochus had done at one point, or replace the headband. "My mom made it," he said. "She'll make me another when we get home."***
The Trojans have won the war. For some, it means the time to return home has come.
Odysseus, however, is not among them.
O: the story where Polites tries to return home, Odysseus loses his mentor and Eurylochus learns to listen.

Am I going crazy? Will I ever know? by K_ai_Denise

Summary
In which Odysseus gets blessed (or cursed- which way you look at the situation and who you talk to) by some mysterious entity (which he doesn’t remember) at the end of the Trojan war. This causes several issues, one of which is that when Odysseus dies, the time resets a certain amount. The second issue is that while he may not remember the time loop, how he died or if he died, anyone and everyone else who witnesses it sure does.
Surely these issues are manageable and won't spiral out of control.
Surely this won't go wrong in many ways.
Or, watch as Odysseus’s crew (with some help) try and get him home without going insane.
Inspired by time loop prompts, angst and finally giving into the voices in my head and thoughts.

Summary
It was the first time in ten years that Odysseus had lunch without Polites.
It was as if the entire Achaean camp had become deserted, populated only by ghostly whispers. The people seemed like shadows. The food was tasteless and the smell made him sick.
Odysseus knew that the people were talking to him and tried to answer. Plans, strategies, supplies. He was the king, of course he could take care of the new shipment of weapons.
***
It was the first time in ten years that Polites had lunch without Odysseus.It was as if the white and pure tablecloth was dripping with blood. Every drop of water spilled, every plate moved, every knife that cut meat seemed to Polites like the sound of battle. But none of these people had ever fought alongside him.
Polites was happy that no one was talking to him. He felt the eyes on him and knew that everyone was wondering about him, the king's son who had returned home. They seemed confused, almost frightened of him. He was like a lost childhood object reappearing in the middle of the living room. Yes, Polites thought, it was a good thing no one had tried to talk to him.

Summary
What if the entire Iliad and Odyssey was just one night? What if that night was actually a modern frat party with a bunch of dumb college kids? Well, that's what this is!
Menelaus is throwing a party to get back together with Helen, Achilles is picking fights about homophobia, and Odysseus just wants to get to his girlfriend Penelope but keeps facing setbacks.
Inspired by a Tumblr post that theorized about this exact scenario.

Summary
Ody had thrown an object and Polites had clumsily caught it.
"What is this supposed to be?""Enlargers!" Ody had said, coming closer. He was smiling as if it were his birthday.
"Enlargers?"
Seeing his confusion, Odysseus had picked up the object and placed it on his face. It was heavy on his nose, perhaps because of the glass. His friend's face was bright as it always was when he could use an idea of his own.
"Okay, try looking at that tree. What fruit do you see?"***
He felt his grip on his weapon weaken as Polites reached out. He was armed too but did not seem to have any intention of drawing his sword.
"You" Neoptolemus tried to say but the word came out of his mouth like a prayer. "You..."
"Hey," Polites repeated. "I guess this madness is another one of Ody's plans, huh?"
***
Or: One day, Odysseus created glasses for Polites. Many years later, they are on opposite sides of a battlefield.
