Summary
Everyone had been begging the king for answers. They had suspected he had something to do with Poseidon’s anger. Everyone in the kingdom seemed to suspect him of angering the gods. That was the only thing that explained the constant storms that plundered their islands, or the sudden droughts that arrived days later.
Odysseus had remained silent through it all. He neither confirmed nor denied the rumours. Just let them spread like a disease through the kingdom, causing outrage from the civilians who were affected by the god’s wrath.
“We both changed for the worst,” the king replied. “We had different circumstances that brought that change, some more noble than others, but we both went through it. Now, we are both trying to heal. To escape the man we turned into. To find the comfort we once had. To earn a place next to our loved ones.”
Antinous scoffed. There were no similarities between the two. Yet when the king spoke in that solemn tone, filled with guilt and grief he almost believed it.

Summary
It is the twenty first century and Telemachus is the son of one of the most influential politicians in the area, Odysseus. He is also being held hostage by the most powerful crime lord in the area, Antinous. Telemachus is forced to work for a crime syndicate that trains orphans into assassins and thieves. Telemachus doesn't understand why he has been imprisoned for over a year. However, when Antinous begins to reveal his schemes, Telemachus realizes that Antinous doesn't just want him as a bargaining chip. No, Antinous is much more interested in using Telemachus for his own benefit...in more ways than one.

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
Penelope decides that the best way to fight off suitors (until whenever Odysseus gets back-because he has to) is for Telemachus to rise to the throne. The only thing is that for this plan to fully work and for the suitors to back off, he must marry. His reign must be legitimate and foolproof. What will he do? It is expected he will marry a woman, produce an heir, all that stuff that comes along with being king, but what if that isn’t the life he wishes for? What if he doesn't wish to be king, marry a woman, or live this life of royalty anymore?

Summary
Antinous thought he’d escaped it, no one would be able to trace who he was, what he was, back to the man that he is. Antinous had laughed in the very face of his destiny and had shaped his own path.
Telemachus thought he’d overcome it, his own self was an identity no one would ever be able to take away from him. Telemachus had unraveled the tapestry Fate had woven and started anew.
— — — —
Antinous feels the boat dip beneath him and hears the waves crashing, a bird croaks. Telemachus lets out another whimper behind him. Antinous doesn’t see why he’s so upset, at least Telemachus isn’t bound like he is. Pampered brat. His own binds feel as if they’re tightening with every passing second and the pounding in his head has only lessened to a dull throb. The bite on his neck still stings.The pirate captain’s eyes flash with wicked glee. “Welcome home, son.”
— — — —
It seems that Fate hasn’t taken their defiance lightly and demands retribution. Now, far from the lives they had fought so hard to keep, Telemachus and Antinous must prove their right to their own identities. And if they have to bite and spit their way to ensure they make it back home, then they will, all tongues and teeth. -

Summary
Perseus Jackson was not a patient man, it didn’t take him long to become annoyed at the constant nagging he was feeling. Almost as if something was missing, some sort of stimulant. But that was a foolish thought, the life of a pirate is the most stimulating thing one could come up with.
But Percy almost felt… too used to the chaos his life brought him. Almost tired even, though it wasn’t the tiredness that followed his hundreds of sleepless nights. Again, a silly and foolish imagination.
Foolish.
And surely that’s what those thoughts were, there was no other logical explanation. After all, what more could he possibly want? He had good friends and companions in his crew, a profession he genuinely enjoyed, if piracy could be called a profession, and steady ship on an ocean he loved.
What else was there to want?
Or…
WolfShark!Pirate AU! Because the author has many issues and wanted the gays to be pirates now

(Modern day AU ~ burning extremely slow)
Meet Theo Knights — wannabe-author who has not published a single book in his miserable life, and instead wastes his time with late nights on AO3, writing Greek Mythology fics under the pseudonym "telemachus33", growing slowly but surely popular and finally finding some joy in his depressing life.
That is until one night someone called "Antinous_Apologist" leaves a comment under his most recently published chapter, shattering his pride, and starting an enticingly torturous feud between author and commenter...

Summary
Athena goes to Zeus in private to request Odysseus's freedom. Instead of striking Athena, Zeus offers her a deal. He will release Odysseus from Ogygia if Athena agrees to spend a year as a mortal in Odysseus's palace. With little say in the matter, she accepts.
On Ithaca, Athena awakes in the body of a 12 year old servant, specifically an orphan servant with a reputation for poor performance. Which is good because Athena has no idea what she's doing and doesn't have much time to learn. Suitors have infected the palace, Telemachus is waiting for divine help that will never come, and Odysseus will be home in two weeks. She has a lot of work ahead of her, and it won't end when Odysseus retakes his throne.

Summary
Antinous was only fifteen when his father sent him to be a suitor. He was left, abandoned, to take on a task he had no want for. "Become the King of Ithaca" was his only goal, his mantra, left to him by his father. Will it be enough to make him survive? Or will a young prince, who doesn't know when to quit, show him that he can be more than what cruel men have already decided he is?

Summary
“Why should I hate you?”
Her question lacked the innocence a child should have. In fact, the way she spoke very maturely only brought a stab of guilt into his heart. She shouldn’t have to ask that question. She shouldn’t have to feel like she was undeserving of love. And yet, she was asking why she should hate him? After all the ways he had failed her?
“Because I’m a monster,” he replied.
The girl got up from the sand in response. Closing the distance, she walked until she was in front of him. The moon poured its silver light onto her, making her glow in an ethereal way like his Penelope. She knelt on her knees and looked up at him. Her eyes shone with a strong resolve.
“You’re not a monster. You’re my father.”
