    Summary

    This story is about Odysseus and Penelope story. How they fell in love and became soulmates before the war. I was inspired because of the musical Epic and I wanted to know more about them so I created more. But after some research I saw that my take was not accurate but still enjoyable so I decided to share it here. There are so many chapters so don’t worry I can feed you for a long time.

    Summary

    Max doesn't die during the Waylon Prank. No, he doesn't die because Richie saved him. When Max finally comes back to school after two weeks of healing, everyone expects him to jump right back into bullying. What they don't expect is him to be almost subdued and almost nice to everyone.

    Pete, Ruth, Grace and Steph are surprised and curious about it, and their curiosity only grows when they find an old yearbook revealing that Max and Richie used to be friends. You can only imagine their shock when there's hints it might have been something more.

    Summary

    “I will not stop loving you because of violence or guilt. You are my husband, and I swear by it.”
    “I will never be the same as I was when you swore that to me.”
    “Neither will I.” She stopped to remove her robes without ceremony, and Odysseus was struck, for the first time in twenty years, with the sight of her naked body, a sight he had so frequently dreamed of. She gestured to the lines across her stomach and thighs from carrying Telemachus, held the softness of her hips where wrinkles were slowly forming. “We are no longer twenty, Odysseus, and I didn’t marry you to stay twenty forever.”

    Odysseus and Penelope catch up on lost time after twenty years apart.

    Summary

    The king of Ithaca is home. Now, he must heal. Told from different perspectives, through different time periods after his return. Parts 1-3 were written before the release of the Vengeance and Ithaca sagas, so aren't entirely canon-compliant.

    Summary

    But even through all of the endless questions she had of how, why, what now, she still made sure that she flew down to Ithaca every day, either choosing to be invisible or lurk in the trees as an owl and watched as Odysseus played with Eurylochus and Polites, watching as the three boys ran around the woods. Though oftentimes, the former two ran while the latter one merely followed. They acted like the children they were, but not how Athena remembered them to be.

    Perhaps if there was a way, she would have gone to the underworld and demanded her grandfather's council — after all, Kronos was the Titan of time. Perhaps it was he who could explain how she had come to the situation she was in.

    And where she was, was back in time, back in the past.

    -

    ‘What if there is a world where we don't have to live this way?’

    (Athena somehow manages to find herself back in time, and does all she can to prevent Odysseus’ ten year journey.)

    Summary

    There were rumors, quickly squashed by the island kingdom, that the Prince of Ithaca had grown wings on his feet when he was a boy. There were rumors that he had wings elsewhere too; on his back and behind his ears. They were squashed even quicker. Anyone who could get a look at the prince could see that his body was not adorned in feathers of any kind.

    None of them knew, and Ithaca’s royal family planned to keep it that way. Fearing that this problem of unknown origin (curse or yet another divine being’s fling with a mortal) would be seen as an insult to the gods and bring down their wrath. Odysseus has grown used to having to cut down or hide the extra appendages, but the struggle only grew when he was forced into the Trojan War.

    Now, with the war at its end and his fleet ready to return home, he only has one thing on his mind; getting back to his wife and son.

     

    OR

     

    An alternate universe where Hermes's relation to one particular Greek hero becomes a bit more prominent, and he suddenly has a much better reason to help Odysseus on his journey home.

    Summary

    After being released from Ogygia six years earlier than canon, Odysseus gets home after being away for fourteen years. And since Telemachus is young and inexperienced with the whole killing aspect, this reunion *might* psychologically scar him.
    But hey, Odysseus gets home sooner!
