Summary
“Polites!” Odysseus cried, dashing forward. His friend had an arm around each of the men’s shoulders, tottering on his feet unsteadily. His eyes were foggy with pain.
“Ody?” Polites muttered blearily, his eyes clearing slightly as he squinted up at Odysseus.
“I’m here, my friend,” Odysseus’ shaking hands hovered over his injured friend, unsure. “What happened?” He bit out, looking angrily at the men on either side of him.
When Odysseus wished for an excuse to escape his officer’s meeting, his best friend entering camp with an arrow through his chest wasn’t quite what he had in mind.

Just a cute fluffy one-shot in which we get sleepy Polites, soft Odysseus, and a sprinkle of Eurylochus for good measure :)

Summary
Polites frowned and shifted his weight, glancing out at the sea. The water glittered, harmless as glass. And yet—
A restlessness. A whisper. Like the hush before a storm, when the wind tastes wrong. A prickle at the base of his skull, a flicker in his chest. Nothing he could name. Nothing he could fight. Just... wrongness.
Maybe it was the knowledge that Odysseus and Penelope would be leaving soon. Maybe it was knowing that for the first time in nearly a year, Ithaca would sleep without its king. Maybe it was nothing but nerves, the aftertaste of old wars that never quite leave a man.
Or, when Odysseus leaves for a conference on the mainland, the burden of Ithaca's safety lands squarely on Polites's shoulders. But with dark shadows circling nearby and a young prince to protect, can Polites handle the weight, or is Ithaca—and Telemachus—doomed to fall?

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.

Antinous is a bitch, Poseidon is a bigger bitch (though his anger is understandable but he's still a bitch), and Zeus is the pettiest, stankiest, and the biggest bitch of them three. (derogatory)

Summary
Polites had died - crushed by the Cyclops’ club.
But that was not the end of him. Instead, it was the beginning of his long journey home.
Without knowing, he follows a certain king's trail, runs into the same threats and deals with them differently until he finally catches up.
This is a story about kindness and ruthlessness. About monsters and men.

Summary
The man had been fumbling in his bag, but he noticed Polites’ reaction. He looked at him curiously before a cocky smile made its way to his face. “Hi.” He sauntered over to the counter and leaned on it casually. “Can I have an….americano?” He grinned, showing off his sharp-ish canines. Polites lifted his head and cleared his throat, trying to be more professional. “Yep. Okay. Coming right up, sir.”
He turned to prepare the drink. He took deep breaths to try and calm himself down. It could be argued that the man wasn’t that attractive, but he couldn’t bring himself to think so. The gleam in his eyes was one thing, the well built thighs that still somehow shone through his pants was another.
