Summary
"Hermes, I see you being in conditions you've never been put in before, conditions you might not be able to withstand, I beg of you! Don't leave the underworld unless things have calmed down. He will take his anger out on you and you only! It's not worth the risk." Tiresias pleaded with the winged god.
But to no avail.
"My dearest prophet, I will be fine. You know I can't stay down here forever. If he were to know, I'd be done for. I have to go to Olympus, it's my sole purpose, my sole job." Hermes replied, trying to make himself sound sweet when panic threaded his voice, adding a sharp edge to it.
Day 2: "You've got a lot of nerve to dredge up all my fears."

Summary
Every thought in her mind screamed that this was a bad idea, yet Athena had already made up her mind long before hearing the consequences of failure.
"Do you agree to the terms?" Her father asked with a smirk, the clouds of his hair retracting in a unified motion.
Athena took less than a second to answer, her decision having been made twenty years prior.

Summary
Everything burned, searing hot. Nothing but painfully bright darkness surrounded him, and he tried to move, to say something, anything, but his body couldn’t, wouldn’t move, wouldn’t respond.
The worst part, he couldn’t do anything. He couldn’t just try harder, be faster, smarter, better.
He was trapped.

What if Zeus decides not to let Odysseus free?
What if Hermes goes anyways?
Zeus is pissed.

Summary
Hermes, the messenger god, has been overworked to no end for days and often misses a few messages. Zeus has had "enough" and exiles him, leading to him having to reside in Ithaca with the royal family. They would've gone to the underworld but Zeus has convinced him that Tiresias was the reason of his exile and that he had gone out of their way to tell Hades to suggest to Zeus that Hermes should be exiled, convincing him that Tiresias had only ever been out for Hermes' power. To furthen that belief Tiresias was used as a replacement of Hermes, leading to many gods hating him, except for Aphrodite.
Tiresias often resides in Ithaca as the trees are comfortable. Them and Hermes often end up meeting each other.
The rest is for you to find out:3

Summary
Ares adores her, Aphrodite admires him.
How sweet.
How lovely.
All is fair,
In love
And war.(Hephaestus is not hated for his deformity, but for his conceited behaviour. How could the Goddess of Love be tied down to a man she does not care for?)
Zeus barely pays her mind, Hera is reaching her breaking point.
How sad.
How lonely.
Afterall,
All is fair
In love
And war.(Perhaps, she should start playing by his rules.)

Summary
While a god and a dead prophet figure out a cruel punishment from Zeus, two 15-year-olds sit in detention, refusing to meet the other's eyes.
When he was constantly blamed for every little prank and trick, it didn't help that Hermes was named after the Greek god of mischief(thanks to his mythology obsessed mother). It also doesn't help that his father was the principal, and had decided that his middle son wasn't worth anything compared to his older and younger brothers.
Tiresias wasn't blind. He refused to believe that the violent injury to his face that he endured would leave him completely unscathed, save for his eyes. He refused to believe that God could keep his features that often got him unwanted attention, yet take his sight. It seemed that he finally lived up to his name; the real prophet would be cackling from Hel. Tiresias wouldn't accept it, until his ex decided that he wasn't worth loving if he couldn't see.
They were there for different reasons, but only one thing mattered - they met each other, and one fateful meeting just so happened to change their lives forever.
~~~A modern AU of my fanfic, "Loving Blindly"!
I'll try to post chapters for both around the same time :DSeries

Summary
Tiresias, despite his intense guilt for not doing more for Odysseus and so many others, has somehow become precious to the messenger god, Hermes. Zeus though, has never liked their friendship. Neither has Athena, or Apollo, or Hera…
Ok, fine. The list goes on for actually quite some time. One day, when Hermes was discovered sneaking off to go visit the prophet, Zeus has had ENOUGH. Frustrated by the god's antics, which he had previously ignored, Zeus decides to give Hermes his first punishment; he is now stuck in the Underworld until Zeus needs him. He could still fly, and the gods could visit him as they pleased, but that's the thing... none of the gods would even know what happened to the beloved messenger. Also angered by the prophet he was often visiting, Zeus decides to put some salt in Tiresias's already painful wounds; he could no longer see the future and the past until Hermes leaves the Underworld. Now stuck without the only reason he didn't let himself rot away, Tiresias must face all the guilt he had pent up from the past. But, how can he do that when the one thing keeping him from not having to is the one thing he doesn't want to lose?
~~~I update once a week :D

Argeiphontes by TheFeatherlessBiped

Summary
Gods and mortals alike seem to be under the impression that killing the giant Argus Panoptes was easy. Simple, even. After all, "argeiphontes" was just another title, and it's not like it was achieved with heroics. Some people say he just chucked a rock at the giant and called the job done.
Okay, maybe it wasn't flashy or heroic.
Maybe it wasn't achieved by the most powerful god.
Maybe it wasn't exactly the most noble either — something that would go on to haunt the messenger for what may well be eternity.
But it sure wasn't easy.
OR
Hermes is tasked with an order and gets kidnappped on the way.
OR
An excuse to punch around our favorite messenger for a little bit.
◇◇◇
If you like Hermes/Circe or them being close in general... you probably shouldn't be reading this. I mean, you could. Go ahead, do it, but be warned. You could always headcanon this as happening way way way in the past.
