    Summary

    I wrote this because I wanted more Hermes. Basically an extended version of Hermes and Ody's trip back to Ithaca, with monster fights and therapy and all that jazz. I threw Artemis in there, too. Plus, some godly drama and Ody settling back in :)

    Summary

    When Hermes is pulled away from his guardianship over Telemachus and Penelope to rescue Odysseus and bring him home, Antinous gives Telemachus an ultimatum. If Penelope doesn't decide on a suitor that night, then they will choose for her. Terrified for his mother and hoping to buy his father time, Telemachus gives up everything to protect his mom. He expects Antinous to make him suffer for his sacrifice, but Telemachus' honesty with an enemy instead reveals there was more hiding under Antinous' scars than Telemachus ever dreamed.

    Summary

    Odysseus knows he is being foolish. If he’s allowed to have a connection to a single Olympian, here on this Tartarus attempting to disguise itself as Elysium, it would make more sense for him to choose Lord Hermes, who has aided him before.

    (It has been a year, and yet he still pines for home. Calypso has grown tired, and thinks that granting him a single god’s attention would sate him—as if anything could sate him but going home and seeing Penelope, meeting Telemachus again for the first time in thirteen years.

    Gods. His boy is fourteen now).

    And yet, when the Goddess Calypso demands to know who he will take on, as his one deity, he finds himself saying, “Athena.”

    (OR: Athena finds herself missing Odysseus enough to check on Telemachus earlier and is therefore convinced to look in on Odysseus earlier, only to find that she can't reach out to him unless Calypso allows it. A year later, Calypso agrees to let him have a connection to a deity of his choosing. He chooses Athena, because some part of him will always think of himself as hers.)

    OR OR: the "Odysseus pretends to date Calypso to buy Athena time to get him off Ogygia" AU that got far more serious than I thought.)

    Summary

    Odysseus lives in a constant state of grief, in a constant state of resignation, and in a constant state of confusion.

    Or: Odysseus never leaves Ogygia.

    Or or: Calypso may be asexual but she's still a goddess and she always gets what she wants.

    Summary

    Gods couldn’t die. The words repeated themselves in Ares's head.

    And yet, his sister lay unmoving on the floor of the main throne room, his father’s lightning still sparking violently through her body. His family stood by his side, but no one dared say the question aloud. So he made the choice to say what all in attendance thought.

    “...is she dead?”

    - - - - - - - - -

    This is a literary retelling of EPIC from Love in Paradise and beyond. If this picks up and gets some traction, I may also continue with the Vengeance Saga and the Ithaca Saga as well. And possibly beyond.

    This will be from the perspective of the gods - occasionally, there may or may not be a mortal point of view in certain cases, but mostly it’s focusing on the Greek pantheon’s perspective.

    Summary

    As an extremely quilty Athena watches over her former mentee after 10 years of absence, she decided to save him no matter what—but a dead man can't be saved, so to get him home she has to give him a reason to not throw himself into Poseidon's ocean at the meantime.

    Or: Athena decides that Odysseus should have one a good night rest before she decides to face her father off.

    There was no sign of the king or the general or the father or the husband he had been. Calypso had washed it away, steady as the sea wearing down a rock.

    Summary

    When Calypso she was young, before the cruel Olympians began their reign, she’d had a little doll, a gift from her father. This was not a doll, she knew that much. But perhaps he was something doll-like, something gifted by the gods. The thought filled her heart with joy.

    Summary

    Calypso’s face softened, she tried to mirror his crooked smile. “Oh, well.” Red bloomed in her round face. “I am not jesting. I am pregnant with our child, Love.”

    “Kill it.”

    She stilled. “What?”

    Odysseus was still grinning at her, the tears in his eyes made his gaze gleam like stars. “Kill it. Or should I do the deed?” His eyes widened as he nodded to himself. “I have killed a babe before. Hector’s lambkin. I shall do it again.” His chest was heaving with ragged breaths.

    Summary

    Ogygia was a birdcage, and Odysseus and Astyanax were the song birds taken from nature, made to do nothing but supply serotonin to their capture. Playing violin to the flowers in the field, wind in his hair, able to roam and explore the island however he pleased, any other child would think themselves the luckiest kid in the world.

    But Astyanax knew better.

    Summary

    The taste of seawater still coated his throat. Even the blood lingering from the suitors couldn't wash it away. Blood and salt. Salt of sweat, of the sea, of tears. Blood of enemies, of monsters, of his friends. Twenty years of war and suffering summarized in the taste lingering on his tongue.

    A hand stroked up his leg, ripping him from his thoughts with a violent flinch. On her knees before him, Penelope froze, not moving the cloth from where she held it to his knee. The lines of her face leached away, her concerned eyes and pinched brow disappearing under the memory of another woman kneeling at his feet.
