    Summary

    if anything in the tags turns y'all off this fic, please read the notes first because they might fix it

    ---------------

    When the kings of Greece come to conscript Odysseus for the Trojan War, Penelope of Ithaca knows one thing: she will not lose her husband to war, and she will not let her son be used to take him. In a desperate attempt to save her family, Penelope offers herself to the war effort in Odysseus's place.

    Penelope is whisked away to Troy with her army, and a devastated Odysseus is left to raise his infant son alone. Even when the war ends, their trials do not. Penelope faces gods and monsters while Odysseus struggles to rule Ithaca and protect himself and his son from the malevolent suitors seeking his hand.

    Essentially, the plot of EPIC, but Penelope and Odysseus's places are switched, and the Ithaca side of the plot is quite a bit darker.

    Summary

    “Astyanax. Or… Scamandrius,” the one-eyed monster says, and laughs. “Named after both the city and river you were taken from. Fitting.”

    He leans in close. The boy can smell the sourness of blood on his breath.

    “Kill them for me, won’t you?” he breathes, voice hypnotizing. “Take from them,” and here his voice becomes deeper, rougher, scarier, and the boy lets out a cry of fear at the look on his face, “like they took from us.”

     

    Or: 11 times someone tells Astyanax his true identity, plus 1 time he decides who he is for himself.

    Summary

    This is my version of ‘EPIC: The Musical’. It includes cut songs, cut verses, fan songs, fan verses, and mashups of cut and final songs. In parentheses there will be the actions of the characters, which I added after being inspired to do so by ObiWanKenobiObsessed’s story ‘His Journey Home’, which I highly recommend reading. Also, there are very little changes in act 1, but there will be major additions/subtractions in act 2. Now, without further ado, here is ‘Ultimate EPIC’

    Summary

    Is a small shift in the universe enough to change fate, or is fate immutable? Is the path predestined and must we walk it no matter how it is walked? Or can we carve a new path borne of desire to change it all?

    Polites walks away from the Cyclops cave. Eurylochus doesn't. Will it matter in the end? Will things have changed? Or does it even matter that the end is the end, that the fated path will force their way onto it, when maybe, somehow, there's still a little less suffering in the middle? Must a change be grandiose for it to matter, or do the small hours and little moments make the same journey a little easier to bear no matter where they end up? Does the love that's there change anything at all, no matter how small?

    Summary

    A year after returning to Ithaca, Odysseus struggles to hide his growing fear of water and thunder.

    A year after "600 Strike", Poseidon is inexplicably incapable of healing his wounds.

    Sick of continuing to clean up the wreckage of Odysseus' peace of mind caused by a decade of terror at the hands of Poseidon, Penelope calls on the one god that would be more than delighted to help humble his uncle and help a mortal in need:

    Dionysus.

    Summary

    Telemaco quería ser legendario, aunque fuera un omega. Después de todo, eso nunca detuvo a su padre.

    Odiseo era una leyenda, y su hijo había crecido con sus historias, no con su presencia, por eso, Telemaco no pudo abrazar sus propios instintos, su naturaleza.

    Por su propio orgullo, por su supervivencia, Telemaco finge ser un alfa, finge pelear y oler como uno.

    Deseaba ser alguien, incluso si eso significaba enfrentar a Antínoo, un alfa arrogante y el líder de los pretendientes de su madre.

    Entonces, todo se fue al carajo cuando uno de ellos soltó una mordida.

    Summary

    Muses, ne chantez pas à la place de mon mortel. Sa voix mélodieuse s'élève jusqu'à l'Olympe et touche le cœur des Dieux. Son sourire illumine la route du grand Odysseus et ses yeux d'or perturbent les monstres.

    Prince de Troie, prise de guerre, Béni d'Apollon, Guérisseur et Sorcier sont les noms que vous lui donnez. Mais retenez le plus important : Polites.

    Ou Polites est un prince de Troie, petit frère d’Hector et oncle d’Astyanax. Odysseus est Odysseus. C’est le dernier acte, Apollon l’oblige à garder Polites et Astyanax en vie. Il les enlève pour les sauver.

    Ou Zeus a ignoré le MAIS de la prophétie donc Apollon s’en occupe à sa place.

    Ce n'est pas original mais je suis juste là pour m'amuser

    Summary

    After a year of siege, the Trojan War is at its end, and nineteen-year-old Odysseus, captain of the Ithacan armies, is ready to go home. But Zeus commands him to slay one more foe: the infant Astyanax. Failure to do so carries a sentence of very possible death for everyone Odysseus loves.

    He should take the easy way out. He should choose thousands of innocent lives over a single infant foe.

    He doesn't.
    ---------
    Sixteen years after the siege of Troy, Astyanax of Ithaca has all he's ever wanted: a home, a lover, a life of privilege. But all of that hinges on the fact that almost no one in his kingdom knows who he truly is.

    When Naxy's heritage is revealed, everything and everyone he loves are thrown into peril. Forced to compete for the hand of his lover Telemachus, it is all he can do to hope that he has what it takes to save the crown prince, and Ithaca herself, from the hand of the usurper Antinous.
    ---------
    Or:

    A single, timeline-shattering choice sets off a cascade of destruction.

    A stolen prince learns the lengths he'll go for love.

    And a fallen king finally understands that only the brave choose mercy.

    Summary

    Odysseus is a woman, she spent ten years pretending to be a man for the war, and another ten trying to get back home to her wife. Everyone she's ever loved (and hated) will now know what's taken her so long to return to Ithaca.

    She spent so long pretending she was a man that she still referes to herself as a man
    Her eye colour changing is a thing so the colour will be mentioned a lot like an odd amount

    This is NOT accurate to actual lore!!!

    Summary

    Athena smiled and removed her helmet, placing it and her spear against the wood. "Hello, Telemachus. Do you know who I am?"

    He studied her, a little shy at first. After a minute of silence, he took courage. "Athena? The goddess of wisdom?"

    "Exactly." She sat right next to him.

    ***

    He had stepped away, and Polites had looked away for a moment. When he looked at him again, Odysseus looked...
    "Aren't you tired, Polites? Of this."

    "Of being rejected?" he asked.

    Odysseus nodded.

    "Yes. I never know how you'll react, and once upon a time, everyone knew how you reacted to me. But there are no other options."

    Eurylochus had told him to leave him behind. Eurylochus was stronger than him: Polites couldn't do it. Polites didn't want to go any further, he didn't want to lose anyone.

    ***
    They've entered where even the gods don't dare. And now they must figure out how to get out.

    Also: the story in which the past comes to take its toll.

    Summary

    They stared at each other for a moment, slowly, Polites leaned forward. Odysseus did as well. Their eye contact didn’t break as he tilted his head to the side and leaned in further, his eyes softening slightly as—

    Whack.

    OR; failed kiss. forehead bruises.
