    Summary

    The Corinthian thought that when Dream unmade him that he would entirely cease to exist, he didn’t expect that he would have a conscious form in an empty void. What Dream intended as a temporary unmaking, a short-term punishment, drags on much longer when he realizes how much he loves having the Corinthian entirely to himself and so deliciously desperate for every affection he gives.

    Summary

    Dream allowed himself a moment to study him, to take in the strong curve of his shoulders and the taught line of his neck as he stared at the ground, posture tight as he awaited Dream's answer. He let the fondness he felt for his creation—his almost masterpiece—well up inside of him before stepping forward, placing two fingers beneath The Corinthian's chin in order to turn that face toward his own, to meet that hurt, angry gaze with compassion.

    "I have remade you, little one," Dream murmured, "so that I may grant you your dream. I intend to give you what you want."

    Summary

    “And lastly the wind bag - we went through so much to get this.”

     

    When Poseidon realizes that Hermes is the reason for Odysseus' success after leaving Ogygia, he takes matter into his own hands. Apollo, meanwhile, is desperately tired of his siblings angering their elders.

    At least Athena is made for war. When Hermes is unable to withstand Poseidon's wrath, he'll need a little divine intervention or two of his own.

    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

    There were rumors, quickly squashed by the island kingdom, that the Prince of Ithaca had grown wings on his feet when he was a boy. There were rumors that he had wings elsewhere too; on his back and behind his ears. They were squashed even quicker. Anyone who could get a look at the prince could see that his body was not adorned in feathers of any kind.

    None of them knew, and Ithaca’s royal family planned to keep it that way. Fearing that this problem of unknown origin (curse or yet another divine being’s fling with a mortal) would be seen as an insult to the gods and bring down their wrath. Odysseus has grown used to having to cut down or hide the extra appendages, but the struggle only grew when he was forced into the Trojan War.

    Now, with the war at its end and his fleet ready to return home, he only has one thing on his mind; getting back to his wife and son.

     

    OR

     

    An alternate universe where Hermes's relation to one particular Greek hero becomes a bit more prominent, and he suddenly has a much better reason to help Odysseus on his journey home.
