    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

    He hated it.

    He hated her.

    What woman does not stand behind her son?!

    Did she not bear him?! Did she not nurse him when he cried at her breast or soothe his childhood fears?! Did she not sit with him beneath Lady Selene’s sky when he was small, teaching him the constellations, naming the winds? Was all of that a lie?! How could she turn her back on him now, when he needed her most?!

    Did she not see how they were devouring his home?!

    They drank his wine, they slaughtered his herds, they slept in his father’s hall, they spoke of his mother like she was some prize sow fattened for market, something to be taken.

    And she sat there, still, calm, refusing.

     

    (or, Telemachus and Penelope's tumultuous relationship before and after Odysseus' return to Ithaca)

    Summary

    Fates… I didn’t want to be a half-blood. I didn’t use to be before. This shouldn’t even be my story. Turns out when you’re considered too useful, too important, divinity will try and use you to their heart’s content.

    They never seem to learn their lesson, and I have faced the consequences time and time again. I was so close to my happy ending, and now look at me. Here again. This new life is dangerous, of course, it’s nothing I haven’t faced before. But it’s terrifying all the same, especially with this… his… blood flowing through my veins.

    You might think this is a work of fiction, and I am glad you will never feel my pain, but my stories can be pretty tragic so… don’t say I didn’t warn you.

    If you do decide to continue, please learn from my mistakes. To be honest, the lives I have lived won’t just be considered strange. They’re going to be…

    Epic.

    Summary

    The wisest thing to do would be to forget everything. Let him rot on the island at the hands of Calypso and simply admit her defeat. However, contradicting her mind, this time the heart of the goddess Athena speaks louder. Hearing Odysseus' continuous cries and prayers, she cannot stand still. Therefore, the goddess of wisdom takes matters into her own hands and goes in search of Odysseus, defying the will of the gods and, especially, of her own Father.

    Alternate Universe in which Athena fails to convince the gods to free Odysseus, breaks the deal and goes to save him anyway. And, in the process, discovers feelings until then buried in her own neglected heart.

    Summary

    Odysseus always wanted to be a father.

    The war tore him from his home and his family, but maybe he can make a new one— find a new one in the soldiers who joined the war too young.

    Nobody ever told him how hard it would be.

     

    OR

     

    Odysseus goes through a lot. Like, a lot.

    Summary

    Thunder cracks, and Odysseus flinches hard. It's the first storm to hit since his return to Ithaca, and it sends him right back to his ship, to the sea, to noise and waves and terror and helplessness, to Zeus's booming voice - Choose. You? Or your crew?

    Penelope finds him at the window in their bedchamber, gazing unseeing out the window.

    Summary

    Ody woke up from a nightmare and Penelope is a godsend that comforts the hell out of him.

    -----

    “If I had your strength, I may have gone much longer before losing my mind,” Ody's words tasted bitter on his tongue. “My loss of sense coincides with my loss of you.”

    Penelope kissed her husband sweetly. She kissed away the bitterness. She kissed away the pain. “I am not lost to you, my love. I am right here.”

    Summary

    “That won’t be an issue. We’ll cut him down into tiny pieces, throw him down in the deep below.” He smirks, “when the crown wonders where the prince is,” he throws his arms out to the sides, “only the ocean and I will know!” The suitors cheer again, a few of them laughing. Odysseus’ blood boils in his veins. They’re laughing and celebrating. Antinous just threatened to torture and dismember his son before throwing him into the ocean, and these men are excited about it.

    The commotion dies down a bit, and Antinous speaks again. “And when the deed is done, the queen will have no one to stop us from breaking her bedroom door,” Odysseus' blood goes from boiling to ice cold, his breath catching in his throat. “Stop us from taking her love and more!” Odysseus’ limbs stiffen, his pulse growing even faster as he stares. There’s a look of unhinged, unbridled lust in Antinous’ eyes. They’re glazed over, and horror runs up Odysseus’ spine as he realizes the man is probably picturing what he is describing, indulging in the thought of assaulting his wife, chest heaving with heavy breaths.
