Summary
“You’re doing so well, my love,”
Odysseus doesn’t look up as he hears the voice of his beloved wife. He knew it was just in his head. It always was. However, he does stop for a moment.
“Oh, come on, Ody. Don’t stop now. It’s nice to watch you. Be a good boy and keep going, yeah?”
That was new. Odysseus had never hallucinated Diomedes’ voice before…
Or Odysseus, after being forced to sleep with Circe, tries to forget by looking through old journal entries and jerks off with the help of hallucinations of Penelope and Diomedes.
Or, or Odysseus REALLY misses Penelope and Diomedes

Summary
Ody had thrown an object and Polites had clumsily caught it.
"What is this supposed to be?""Enlargers!" Ody had said, coming closer. He was smiling as if it were his birthday.
"Enlargers?"
Seeing his confusion, Odysseus had picked up the object and placed it on his face. It was heavy on his nose, perhaps because of the glass. His friend's face was bright as it always was when he could use an idea of his own.
"Okay, try looking at that tree. What fruit do you see?"***
He felt his grip on his weapon weaken as Polites reached out. He was armed too but did not seem to have any intention of drawing his sword.
"You" Neoptolemus tried to say but the word came out of his mouth like a prayer. "You..."
"Hey," Polites repeated. "I guess this madness is another one of Ody's plans, huh?"
***
Or: One day, Odysseus created glasses for Polites. Many years later, they are on opposite sides of a battlefield.

Summary
[AU of The Trojan Priestess where Odysseus doesn't listen to Iliana, my OC, and things still go south in Polyphemus' cave, but at least Polites survives this time]
When Iliana agreed to travel back to Ithaca with Polites and Odysseus, taking Odysseus' offer of asylum, she never expected the way back home to be filled with trials. The longer it takes to get back to Ithaca, the more tensions slowly begin to rise on the ship and when things finally come to a head, where will Iliana stand? At the end of it all, will she get to start the life she and Polites discuss on Ithaca? Or will it all end in tragedy?

Summary
They say she's gone mad since her brother left. They say she's deep in denial of her brother's passing. They say her eye-patch covers a secret.
Little do they know they were only right about the eye-patch.
Iliana, younger sister to Odysseus and princess of Ithaca, serves as priestess to Hecate, praying to the goddess to protect her brother during the long war with the Trojans. She is overjoyed to hear the war is over and Odysseus and his fleet are coming home...until he never arrives back to Ithaca.
Driven to find answers about Odysseus by the arrival of suitors vying for her sister-in-law's hand in marriage (despite no confirmation Odysseus is dead), and worry for her brother, she finds a spell in the temple to locate someone lost...and a Moly plant. Iliana uses the plant and casts the spell, which nearly costs her life, leaving Iliana able to see visions of what her brother endures in his arduous journey home. However, she is helpless to do anything about what she sees, only able to reassure Penelope and Telemachus that Odysseus is alive and trying to return to them.

Summary
Odysseus will not delude himself into thinking he could have saved all of his men, but seeing the empty spaces where a few of their ships used to sail left him feeling guilty.
It should have been impossible for them to escape Poseidon’s wrath, let alone leave with half of his crew alive. Yet here they were, terrified Poseidon will change his mind and finish what he started, but still breathing.
Poseidon may have let them go, but the rough waves conveyed his displeasure well.
