Summary
After Sara Everdeen awakes in Navarre, she has one goal: survive until she finds a way to go back home.
As she hides her real identity, Sara carefully uses her knowledge of the universe to get through the Riders Quadrant without disrupting the timeline. But she quickly realizes that reading about something is nothing like experiencing it.
Between friendships, hardships, war and even romance, little does she know that her presence alone might already be changing everything.

My twist on the reader-insert trope.

Summary
“We are but a day and a half from Ithaca,” he admitted at last, voice quieter now, lacking their usual glibness. “A day and a half away from home. After near ten years.”
Diomedes did not interrupt.
“It will be ten years soon,” Odysseus continued, his lips twisting with something like bitterness. “Ten years since the day Telemachus was born.” He let out a breath that sounded like a laugh, but there was no humour in it. “Ten years since my sweet boy took his first breath. And I am so near to him, to Penelope, to home – and yet I cannot reach them.”
"Then go."
(Or, After his ship breaks during a mission to retrieve the son of Achilles, Odysseus gets to make a brief visit home - after ten long years at the shores of Troy - and reunite with his wife and son for a few days)

Summary
"Do you even know why he named his boy Telemachus?" he demanded, his voice cracking, raw with grief, edged with fury. "Do you know why he chose that name?" His hands shook at his sides, his entire body trembling. "He named him so because it means ‘far from battle.’" His voice rose, raw and ragged. "for he wished his son to be far, far from this accursed war, from blood and bronze and death!"
Silence pressed heavy against the tent.
Diomedes took a staggering breath, his chest rising and falling as though each inhale was a battle in itself. "And now you would have him brought here?" he whispered. "To war? To these accursed shores?"
(or, Odysseus dies during the war. With a prophecy that claims that only the mind of Laertiades will cause the fall of Troy, Ten year old Prince Telemachus is brought to the shores of Troy.)

Summary
He hated it.
He hated her.
What woman does not stand behind her son?!
Did she not bear him?! Did she not nurse him when he cried at her breast or soothe his childhood fears?! Did she not sit with him beneath Lady Selene’s sky when he was small, teaching him the constellations, naming the winds? Was all of that a lie?! How could she turn her back on him now, when he needed her most?!
Did she not see how they were devouring his home?!
They drank his wine, they slaughtered his herds, they slept in his father’s hall, they spoke of his mother like she was some prize sow fattened for market, something to be taken.
And she sat there, still, calm, refusing.
(or, Telemachus and Penelope's tumultuous relationship before and after Odysseus' return to Ithaca)
