    Summary

    He sobs into his wife’s legs. He mutters nonsense, cursing Calypso and Poseidon for keeping him for so long. He curses Menelaus and Paris, he curses Achilles and his stupid mother, he curses every man he can think of, and then more. He feels Penelope drop in front of him, taking his face into her hands, reassuring him, following his every word with intensity that has been unbeknownst to him for a decade.

     

    or

     

    the happy reunion we didn't quite get to see.

    Summary

    Odysseus returns to Ithaca, only to find himself trapped in his mind. The weight of unspoken truths, guilt, and lingering trauma stifles him, and though reunited with his wife and son, he cannot escape the internal turmoil that keeps him distant.

    Beside him, Penelope watches – quietly, with the ache of someone who has waited, endured, and now sees the man she loves begin to unravel before her.

     

    A sequel to Beneath her Shore.

    Summary

    When Penelope looked at her husband and his best friend, Polites, she saw a flicker of something more.

    And yet… it didn’t make her insecure in the slightest.

    So when he had to go to war–and a heavy feeling in her heart told her the path back to her would not be that easy–she gave Odysseus permission to be loved, even in her absence.

     

    Penelope, her husband and his emotional support boyfriend.

    Summary

    She took a trembling step forward, then another. She moved like a shade, skirts dragging in blood, her bare feet soaked through.

    Through the smoke, a shadow moved. Not like the other men – this one did not flee. This one hunted.

    He stood tall and sure, his form a blur of shadow and firelight, bow in hand, arrow nocked. And when he turned, just for a moment, the torchlight kissed his face.

    Penelope’s breath left her in a soundless exhale. Her heart that she had thought had forgotten how to beat, started its rhythm anew.

    That face.

    A little older. Lined with pain and war and years away from her arms. But it was him.

     

    It was him.

    Summary

    Don't take this seriously, looool. They're just comedy one-shots or angs. IDK, I wanted to see a little more lightheartedness in the journey to Troy (even if it focused more on Ody). English isn't my first language.

    Summary

    This is my imagining of what happened during and before 600 strike. A misunderstanding leads Polites to be killed long before his time, falling victim to the Cyclops' mighty club. Years later, he does a huge favor for the Gods and decides to call in a boon- a boon that will change the entire path of the story and history forever.

    Oh captain, let's make a deal where we both say the things that we both really feel..
    I feel scared and I'm starting to sink
    And I only sink deeper the deeper I think

    What if the God blinded him, what if the hands he could feel on his wings weren't welcomed but he had learned not to disobey?
    He was okay
    He was totally okay.
    And who is that, that came into a godly blessed island and said his name?

    At that moment, Odysseus wasn’t a warrior of the mind. He wasn’t a king, or even expected to be one. He was a father. Odysseus didn’t even realize he was crying until Penelope made some lighthearted comment and reached up to brush a tear off of his cheek.

    And when Telemachus opened his eyes, his world wore away all over again.

    Or, a lot has changed between Odysseus and Telemachus. A lot hasn't.
