    Summary

    I wrote this because I wanted more Hermes. Basically an extended version of Hermes and Ody's trip back to Ithaca, with monster fights and therapy and all that jazz. I threw Artemis in there, too. Plus, some godly drama and Ody settling back in :)
    Updates are irregular, but I'll shoot for once a week!

    Summary

    Nax and Telemachus find a baby in a golden basket, floating on the ocean. The infant is all alone, so they bring her back to the palace and decide to raise her as their own. They quickly discover that the child is no mere mortal but a demigod. Not only that, but a daughter of Zeus himself. Shenanigans ensue as Tele and Nax navigate life as new parents to a rambunctious little one, whose tantrums can cause thunder storms.

    Ody and Pen love being grandparents. Hermes is a terrible influence/gay uncle. Athena must admit, the babe is very cute and Nax and Tele clearly need help. #Aunty Athena is tired.
    Self-indulgent TeleNax sequel to my other fic The Last Trojan. Less plot more fluff.

    Summary

    After being resurrected by his grandfather, Apollo, Astyanax was raised mainly on Olympus with one purpose: to be a weapon. But after being taken in by the royal family in Ithaca, their strange sense of ‘normal mortal family’ complicates things. The blood on his hands is something he can’t lose, all he can choose is whose. But can he choose not to stain his hands with theirs?

    Summary

    I feel like there are too little crossover stories from epic the Musical and Percy Jackson so I plan on changing that.
    So what if instead of waiting for Odysseus for 20 years Penelope starts to look for him two years after the Trojan war ended. And what if at exactly that time the fates decided to have a little bit of fun with their favourite demigods Annabeth and Percy.

    Summary

    You will die for this.

    The thought came out of nowhere. Telemachus had never had any reason to hate anyone before, and now a neglected part of his soul was finally rearing its head. You will die for this, it hissed again, teeth bared.

    The sudden viciousness within him was exhilarating, a rush unlike anything he’d felt back in Ithaca. Something new came to life inside his chest, something clawed and cruel and monstrous.

    I will kill you for this.

     

    ---

    Or, where Antinous is king of Trojan-allied Thrace and kidnaps Telemachus to settle a grudge he's never forgiven, keeping him captive with other Greek prisoners long after the war has ended. Somewhere far across the ocean, Odysseus is released from Calypso's island six years early.

    Summary

    Telemachus was beginning to believe finding love would be much harder than he had originally thought, but when the most handsome man he has ever seen named Theocrites walks into his life, and into his home, he believes he has found love. Things become a little odd, random, dot like scars appearing and disappearing, the waves barely moving when he is around, and his insistence that Telemachus doesn't take the throne, but that's okay, right?

    AKA: Poseidon won't let Odysseus get away with all that he has done, so he shows Odysseus that taking a son isn't hard to do.

    Summary

    The bow is always easy to string, Telemachus finds. It is easy to pull back, to shoot. It always lands in the middle of the target. His mother was not there to congratulate him anymore.

     

    There is silence in the castle now. The suitors, bitter, had left, wanting to find a wife. The servants have withered. The animals had shied away from the new King, bewildered by the absence of his mother with her clever, constantly moving hands, and the warmth she had taken down to Hades with her. The guards and army shy away from Telemachus, with his cruel face and awkward hands.

     

    Telemachus finds no pleasure in seeing the empty halls

     

    or

     

    telemachus's life as a king after his parents die.

    read orphan child for context, though it's not required.

    Summary

    “You are reckless, sentimental at best-that's not a teaching of mine.” Athena sighed. “Maybe if I taught him empathy, this reunion between husband and wife would have happened before the pain of the suitors, before the deaths of the last of his crew, before the drowning of over 500 souls. Maybe I truly led him astray.”

    “You did lead him astray- but that’s in the past. It’s useless to ruminate on it” A voice said behind her. “You lead him astray, Athena- but we can get him back, together.”

    Or
    Polites doesn't hate anyone- not really. He's a lover of peace and of people, of empathy and of healing. But if he had to chose one person, he knew exactly who it would be: Athena. She was the one being in the realms he wouldn't embrace with open arms, but with a cold glare, biting his tongue so hard to keep from committing blasphemy- and for good reason. Even those with hearts of gold have their limits, and Athena crossed it countless times.
    But there is nothing Polites would not do for his beloving Ody, one who suffered so much- one who needed help getting back on track, to realize he is not a monster and never truly was. If he has to help the Goddess he dislikes most, so be it.

    Summary

    "He was untethered, unanchored, left completely adrift along the sea of memories and experiences, unsure if at one moment, the blood on the floor or the pillow beneath his fingers was real. And then, there was light, and a voice, muffled beneath the waves of a dozen experiences happening at once in parallel with one another. It was… female, it sounded. He didn’t hear what the voice said, only knew that he had heard it. Then, all at once, the universe stilled, was quiet, and he heard, clear as day, from Pallas Athena herself, his name.
    “Odysseus!”"

    -OR-

    Odysseus Angst and Nightmares because my sweet baby has so so much trauma. Thankfully, Athena is there and quite adept at handling Odysseus when he's like this.

    Summary

    It was the first time in ten years that Odysseus had lunch without Polites.

    It was as if the entire Achaean camp had become deserted, populated only by ghostly whispers. The people seemed like shadows. The food was tasteless and the smell made him sick.

    Odysseus knew that the people were talking to him and tried to answer. Plans, strategies, supplies. He was the king, of course he could take care of the new shipment of weapons.

    ***
    It was the first time in ten years that Polites had lunch without Odysseus.

    It was as if the white and pure tablecloth was dripping with blood. Every drop of water spilled, every plate moved, every knife that cut meat seemed to Polites like the sound of battle. But none of these people had ever fought alongside him.

    Polites was happy that no one was talking to him. He felt the eyes on him and knew that everyone was wondering about him, the king's son who had returned home. They seemed confused, almost frightened of him. He was like a lost childhood object reappearing in the middle of the living room. Yes, Polites thought, it was a good thing no one had tried to talk to him.

    Summary

    Penelope hadn't thought it could get any worse. She'd never been able to fully grieve her husband, the suitors were getting more violent and desperate by the day, and her son was their unfortunate target. Penelope hadn't thought it could get any worse than the hell she was living.

    Then, after years, Athena returned and claimed she needed Telemachus for a mission.
