Summary
if anything in the tags turns y'all off this fic, please read the notes first because they might fix it
---------------
When the kings of Greece come to conscript Odysseus for the Trojan War, Penelope of Ithaca knows one thing: she will not lose her husband to war, and she will not let her son be used to take him. In a desperate attempt to save her family, Penelope offers herself to the war effort in Odysseus's place.
Penelope is whisked away to Troy with her army, and a devastated Odysseus is left to raise his infant son alone. Even when the war ends, their trials do not. Penelope faces gods and monsters while Odysseus struggles to rule Ithaca and protect himself and his son from the malevolent suitors seeking his hand.
Essentially, the plot of EPIC, but Penelope and Odysseus's places are switched, and the Ithaca side of the plot is quite a bit darker.

Summary
Tasked with playing a role no one else wanted, Hermione Granger is the muggleborn witch that everyone loves to hate. Except Hermione Granger doesn’t exist. Hermione Zabini, however, does. And she is tired of being nice when niceness is not reciprocated. But she’s got bigger problems. Due to Pureblood bureaucratic bs, her soulmate is stuck in an abusive marriage, and the only way out is if the man dies. The Golden Trio is a sham, Dumbledore has let the Ministry run all over Hogwarts, and Hermione is slowly dying.
In the midst of it all, Voldemort has returned, and the War restarts with a vengeance. When another prophecy is discovered, Hermione becomes a threat in the eyes of the Order and a weapon in the eyes of the Dark Lord. Hermione, along with her family and friends, turns the tide of the War unexpectedly by forming a new faction, one where the phrase ‘neither can live while the other survives’ takes on a whole new meaning.
Fate is funny that way.

Summary
Sansa Stark is promised to the King’s brother-in-law on the gilded road to King’s Landing, and the realm tilts.
Robert breaks tradition and dismisses Ser Jaime from the Kingsguard to buy peace with the North. Cersei goes to pieces earlier, the court sharpens its knives, and the Hound shadows a girl who wanted songs and got a lion instead.
Jaime thinks he’s always belonged to his sister until a Stark girl looks up at him with clear blue winter and says please, and he learns that kneeling can feel like victory. Across the Narrow Sea, dragons wake. In the North, bastards bite. Ramsay Bolton plans to steal the King’s bride and finds a wolfpack waiting.
Tormund falls in love with a woman of iron, Jon finds fire in the dark, and every battle you remember still rages—rewritten by one vow altered at the start. He calls her little wife in the dark when she’s cuffed and sighing, ah—ah—ah, and she gives him every piece of control he was never allowed to keep.

Summary
It had been two years since the end of the Kira case, plus another year it took Quillsh Wammy to find a suitable individual with promising qualities that could maybe one day take over the role he had in L’s life as Watari, which was to say, someone who would be a caretaker, a protector, a right hand, a human connection that grounded the detective, but more importantly a person that had no attachments in this world that could get between them and their duty to L.
Someone whose loyalty to the greatest detective in the world would be absolute.
═════
Taking place after the original story, where L survives.
A woman meant to one day take on Watari's role comes into the picture. The type of woman that, according to most writers and poets, can and make or break men. She affects him in unprecedented ways.

Summary
One summer day, he sees Voldemort on his neighbor's roof. And it all came crashing down.
Armed with a stabbed diary that oddly brings him comfort and a ring that feels important, Harry is ill-equipped for the summer ahead.
On his neighbour’s roof, staring directly at him, was Voldemort.
It would be comical if it wasn’t for the struggling muggle teen in his grasp.
Mockingly, Voldemort held up a scrap of parchment. ‘Surrender yourself, or the muggle perishes.’
Harry ducked away from the glass and got his writing supplies out. He held the parchment to the wall as he wrote, with a quill this time.
‘I don’t negotiate with terrorists. I’m going back to bed.’
He wiggled it into the corner and left the sight of the window. There was a strangled scream he tried to block out. In bed, he piled his blanket over his ears. Bottom of the line, he needed sleep.
And who was he to intervene? Every damned time he did, the person ended up dead or injured. Cedric, Sirius, and countless other friends had suffered under his supervision.
Harry was done playing saviour.

Summary
He was always curious about what happened when you died. Is there an afterlife? A warm nothingness? Or does it all just…end? Heaven or hell? Purgatory? He once imagined that perhaps belief influenced what happened after death. Maybe your soul was sent to some 5th dimensional space beyond time, where mortality is relative and belief influences reality.
What he was absolutely confident in, was that he was definitely going to hell.
...
Why is the floor wet and covered in bodies?

Priority Numero Uno: Don't die again, idiot.
Priority 2: Climb.
Priority 3: Get gud.

"The one with the power to destroy the dark lord approaches, born of iron and light as the seven months dies, born beyond the reach of the magical world yet bound to it by fate, the child shall be taken from the hands of the muggles and raised among our own, to parents who have thrice defied the Dark Lord shall he be given, and the Dark Lord shall mark him as his equal but one must strike down the other as neither can live while the other survives, One shall rise to save the entire world or cast it into endless flame.”

Summary
Landing in Hell wasn't something Crow expected to happen, especially the one from Hazbin Hotel. It had to be a mistake, but what could she do? Plus, it was before the series even started? Talk about shit luck. For now, she'll have to try her best to survive and think of a way to get out of here. And if she bumped into characters that were supposed to be fiction, well damn, she'll just have to deal with it. At least she knew what to be wary of. She knew wide smirks were synonymous with manipulation and danger, especially ones on screens. She knew... but damn it, knowing and experiencing it are two different things.
