Summary
Odysseus, Prince and Knight of Ithaca, knows he will not be chosen as Princess Helen's husband and protector, no matter how well he performs in the tournament for her hand. He came to gather information and forge allies, but most of all to prove what he — and Ithaca — were capable of. It was the path laid out before him by the Goddess Athena, and would lead to greatness.
But, a chance encounter in Sparta's marketplace changes everything, and challenges the entire course of his life and purpose...
“Though it is in Princess Helen’s name, I know other ladies may offer their favor,” he went on, and while his words didn’t waver his heart seemed caught in his throat, even as it drummed powerfully against his ribs. The noisy chatter of other conversations threatened to drown him out, and he leaned toward her again, unable to look away from her gaze. “Will you be offering yours?”
The flush returned to her cheeks, and her smile bloomed wide. “That depends,” she said, after a moment of thought, lovely eyes soft and sweet, “on who is looking to earn it.”

Summary
Penelope and Odysseus had their daughter, Telemache, just two months before Odysseus left for war. Upon Odysseus' request, Penelope raised their daughter as a boy. She was raised strong and wild, but Telemache couldn't help but feel like something was missing from her life. The womanhood she was denied, perhaps? But she couldn't let anyone know, her mother told her that no one was to be trusted. But what happens when a man comes into her life, sweet as can be, and she learns that she can trust someone else. Surely, if she can trust someone, that trust can't be abused.
AKA: Telemachus was born Telemache, and when Antinous enters her life, her naivety shows.

Summary
Morpheus, the God of Dreams, takes pity on the King and Queen of Ithaca. Odysseus’s return is many years away, yet his and Penelope’s minds find each other in sleep. It’s both a blessing and a curse, and sometimes all that keeps them going.
Queen Penelope stepped into the dream as easily as crossing a threshold, and with her came the sun, as if Helios's carriage rode atop her billowing black hair. The carnage vanished in her presence, the ground no longer a battlefield but a sloping grassy hill dotted with olive trees. Her bright blue eyes almost glowed, searching the hillside with clear intent.
The King of Ithaca stood, gazing at her as if she were a vision of Aphrodite herself. The blood streaking his face and staining his hands evaporated in the wake of her sunlight, the dead bundle in his arms vanishing with it.
Morpheus stared as well, unable to believe that she stood before them. It was no shaped dream becoming a nightmare, no conjuration of the King’s mind to protect himself. It was her, slipping into his dream as if it were a room in their home. Answering her husband’s desperate cries.

His wife was coming home…
Or:
Odysseus, in this attempt at avoiding leaving his family alone to go to war, composes a vaguely mythologically accurate plan to evade the draft.

Summary
“I am most delighted,” Penelope had said, fingers tightening gently around Ctimene’s hand, her voice earnest with joy. “Truly, most delighted – that Odysseus has a sister. For I–” and there she had laughed softly, as though confessing some girlish hope, “ –I was raised in a house of men, you see. Only brothers I had, loud and brawling, and no beloved sister. I had always longed for an elder sister. And now, the gods have granted one to me at last.”
She looked to Ctimene with wide open eyes, searching for the spark of shared sentiment. But the warmth she offered was not returned.
Ctimene had frowned, her lips parting with a slowness that suggested the words had waited long behind her teeth. She drew back just enough to reclaim the space between them, cold.
(or, in the early days after her arrival to Ithaca, Penelope talks to Ctimene in an effort to get closer to her new husband's sister - it does not go so well)

Summary
Odysseus grew up in a very loving, well off family, with loving parents and a....well, loving is an overstatement, maybe "tolerable" little sister. They lived in their little town of Ithaca, New York, where Odysseus met his friends and went to elementary and middle school, and was also mentored under the watchful eye of his Mentor Athena. But then things went....extremely southwards, his Mentor moved away to a bigger town, somewhere in Michigan, Odysseus' father Laertes, who was providing for their family, got diagnosed with dementia. Anticlea, looking to both get Odysseus in a better school, get better treatment for her husband, buy a cheaper, more sustainable house with her rather rather measly income, and connect with some older family friends, decided to uproot their family and move them to Troy, Michigan. She picked up more jobs where she could to get the money for their fathers' treatment, as well as to sustain their family, leaving Odysseus to care for his sister mostly alone while starting a completely new school in a completely new town he knows nothing about.
This is my first ever fic, I'll try to keep updates consistent, probably once every week or 2. It's probably going to be cringe, but ill have fun.

Summary
The wind comes early, salt-laced and restless, tugging at the sails before the sun has fully risen. The sea is silver in the half-light, gleaming like a blade. A dozen black ships line the shore, each a beast of burden groaning under the weight of war—of spears and shields, of men too young and men already weary, six hundred in all. Horses stamp and snort. Armour glints faintly. The world smells of brine and bronze and things left unsaid.
And there is the horizon, wide and unblinking, where the gods keep their secrets.
Already, Ares drums his fingers against his shield. Athena watches from behind a veil of cloud, sharp-eyed and silent. Apollo cords his bow in the east. Even the Fates lean in, breathless. The heavens tilt toward bloodshed.
But the dawn stretches her fingers across the sky, rosy and pale, as though the morning itself hesitates—softening what must be done.
Odysseus steps forward. His cloak hangs from his shoulders, sword glinting beneath it at his hip. He looks impossibly far away already, though he hasn’t left yet.
But his eyes—his eyes are on her.
A dual-timeline look at Odysseus and Penelope—memory and absence side by side.

Summary
She took a trembling step forward, then another. She moved like a shade, skirts dragging in blood, her bare feet soaked through.
Through the smoke, a shadow moved. Not like the other men – this one did not flee. This one hunted.
He stood tall and sure, his form a blur of shadow and firelight, bow in hand, arrow nocked. And when he turned, just for a moment, the torchlight kissed his face.
Penelope’s breath left her in a soundless exhale. Her heart that she had thought had forgotten how to beat, started its rhythm anew.
That face.
A little older. Lined with pain and war and years away from her arms. But it was him.
It was him.
(or, Penelope and Odysseus' reunion happens slightly diffferently when she awakens earlier and reaches where Odysseus' carnage is unfolding, unaware)
