    Summary

    Troy has fallen. The gods tell Odysseus about his mission to kill the infant, but he is tormented by doubts. The king of Ithaca faces an important choice: to save the boy's life, but then endanger his loved ones, or to kill him, but then lose himself. Standing on the walls of destroyed Troy, Odysseus decides to change everything.

     

    or an alternative outcome "Just a man", where Odysseus gives Astyanax to Eurylochus.

    Summary

    Trojan Polites AU where Polites still fought with the Greeks for the first ten years of the war and then betrayed Odysseus and went over to the Trojans. This leads to strange consequences such as the involuntary emotional adoption of several children, a hope for a happy ending for Patroclus and Achilles, Hector dealing with eldest daughter syndrome and an alternate path of fate.

    Inspired by the Iliad but not following the Homeric canon. A good dose of angst, humor (I hope) and happy ending.

    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

    This was what Penelope thought about, when she said her next words. This was what ran through Penelope’s mind, in the moment that she decided to stare a man in the eyes, open her mouth, and say:
    “I’m Helen.”

    ~~~
    OR: Penelope take's Helen's place as the kidnapped woman in Troy, and singlehandedly changes the course of history.

    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

    Eirenaios. Motherless son of the wise King Odysseus. Brother of the persistent prince Telemachus. His name quite literally meant peace. And while the first 11 years of his life were anything but peaceful as far as he remembered, his dad always told him that he was named that as he brought peace to crazed minds simply by existing. And for the following 10 years of his life, he did live a peaceful life. Not a normal one by any means (he knew that the often present goddess of wisdom favored his brother and pretended like he didn’t exist for a reason unbeknownst to him) but peaceful nonetheless.
    Until he convinced his dad to let him join him and his brother on a simple mission to Skyros. A meeting that was nothing more than a formality.
    But while wandering the halls of Neoptolemus’ palace, he ended up running into a simple concubine. One who seems to recognize him instantly, even though he had never met her before.
    Because it turned out he has the same eyes as her long dead son Astyanax.

    Summary

    The infant that Odysseus dropped from the wall was not in fact Astyanax of Troy, but a servant's child swapped with Astyanax by his mother before the Greek's invasion. Andromache raises Nax in secret, priming him for the day that he’ll kill King Odysseus. 18 years after the trojan war, Nax travels to the island of Ithaca, ready to avenge his father and kingdom. What he’s not ready for is encountering the kind and handsome Prince Telemachus. Will Nax do what he was raised to do, or will his feelings for Telemachus change the course of both their lives forever?

    In this story Nax was 2 when he was supposedly killed and Telemachus was 10, making them 20 and 28 respectively

    Summary

    "He proceeded towards the window, slowly, as if he was trying to delay the inevitable.
    When, suddenly, with that abnormal lucidity that occasionally arises in situations that seem desperate, a question made its way into his mind: what if all that was not inevitable?
    Odysseus froze again, the bundle still clutched in his arms.
    Prophecies are always destined to come true. But who had said that? Had anyone ever really tried to avoid them?
    What if... What if it was possible?"

    Basically, an AU in which Odysseus spares Astyanax/Scamandrius, gambling everything in an attempt to prove that prophecies can be avoided.
