    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

    Telemachus never expected his life to become this bleak. After meeting the most wonderful and amazing boy (and being favored by the gods enough to become friends with him through some kind of magical dreams), everything had seemed so bright and hopeful…

    But here he was now, a hole in his heart and soul, missing said boy like a limb, not knowing when (and if) they were ever gonna meet again. Telemachus never imagined that the pain of separation could feel like a burning iron pressed against his skin all the time. Dictating his life like some ghostly hand, with no way to escape the gaping emptiness.

    Waiting was horrible.

    But not forever.

    Because a world (a time) away, his Sea-Boy is fighting tooth and nail to keep his promise of coming back. And maybe, just maybe, Percy Jackson is not the only one being able to mess with the Fates a bit… or the only one dreaming…

    Summary

    "And nothing made sense. What happened. His mother, he heard, telling him... Something? He didn't know what. He didn't even know what was happening! All he knew was it was dark and scary and everything hurt and he just wanted it to stop."

     

    He passed out.

     

    This is me making Telemachus (partially) blind. This is also me making everybody even more traumatized for the sake of angst.
