    Summary

    Athena's been hurt, much more thoroughly than she realized was possible. For the first time in her immortal life, she is fighting against her own body and mind, and she doesn't know how to win.

    Odysseus is home. After two more weeks on sea, a fight with 108 suitors and reunited with his family, he’s quietly accepted that even a desperate prayer won’t bring his former mentor to come back. Little does he know, for two weeks, it’s all Athena’s been trying to do.

    Or, what if after God Games, Athena doesn’t wake up in the infirmary? What if it’s up to a few mortals to take care of the goddess that just collapsed in their palace, looking like she should very much be dead?

    Updates on Sundays :)

    Summary

    “You are mistaken,” Athena protests, but the words do not sound convincing even to herself. “Odysseus is but a mortal. He is not my son. He does not even share my blood. He is simply a champion I have chosen.”

    Hera arches a brow, amusement flickering briefly across her face before fading. “And yet, when he suffers, you suffer. When he weeps, you burn with rage. When he calls for you, you answer. You do things you never have before in order to ease his pain. You wish to destroy those who have dared to wrong him.”

    Summary

    Telemachus was expecting to feel euphoric. Wasn’t this what he wanted? Didn’t he want for the suitors to be gone, for his father to be back, for his family to be together at last? Didn’t he want to prove himself, fight battles, become a warrior?

    He did. At least, he thought he did.

    But this is…different. He doesn’t feel happy, or proud, or even relieved—well, maybe there’s some of that, but there’s anger and regret and grief mixed in there too, and it’s all dulled, like everything he’s feeling has been enveloped by fog.

     

    (or: after the battle with the suitors, Odysseus, Athena, and Telemachus are all working to process what happened, and all starting to see each other—and themselves—in a different light.)

    Summary

    Glancing in past the door left ajar, Odysseus sees Telemachus and a tall figure standing at the window, facing the sea beyond. The figure - a woman - ruffles Telemachus’s hair familiarly as he bends over in laughter. There are scars all over the woman’s body, and her half-armor is battered and dented and of a make unlike anything Odysseus has yet seen in Ithaca. He’s curious, perhaps slightly suspicious - because being back with his family has softened his heart but it has not dulled his edge - and leans in to get a better view.

    And then Odysseus sees her face, recognizes her, and lets out a sound like he’s been punched.

    Summary

    “Athena… Athena can you hear me?”
    “Let her sleep.” The hand pulls away and brushes her hair from her face. The touch feels oddly careful, but she can’t bring herself to think about it. “Trust me, she needs it.”
    “It’s been hours,” a gruff voice says to her right. “How much longer do we have to wait?”
    The question stirs something in her. Someone is waiting for… for… she can’t place it. A name, a face, a smile flashing beneath a blue sky. The memory is hazy, its pieces breaking apart and floating away. No, no, focus Athena. Someone is waiting for… she needs to tell….
    Her thoughts melt away like springtime snow, and she slips into nothingness again.
