Fighting to be loved by Mer_acle for EvermoreCatra

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 :)

Also sometimes it takes me a bit to respond to comments especially on earlier chapters bc as you can tell the amount of comments this fic gets is out of this world, but eventually I will reply, I appreciate them very muchSeries

Summary
Ichor continued to weep from her wounds. Staining her clothes, staining the marble, staining the soles of their Father’s sandals. Everywhere Apollo dared look seemed to be tainted with it.
If Athena was a mortal, she would be dead three times over already.
‘But she isn’t mortal.’ Apollo had to remind himself. ‘She won’t die she won’t die she won’t die she won’t die she won’t-’
But some quiet voice in the back of his mind whispered that that may not be the case.
They’ve never seen a god die before. But then again, they had never seen a god take one of Father’s lightning bolts to his face before. Let alone five.
And Athena lay so still…

Summary
After getting struck by Zeus’ lightning, Athena falls from Olympus into the ocean and is found by Poseidon, who brings her to his palace to heal. Athena and her uncle have never had the best relationship, and yet, he takes care of her while her father doesn't. After regaining consciousness, Athena tries to come to terms with just what her father has done to her, even if the answers Poseidon can give are not necessarily those she would like to hear.

Summary
"(i still believe that) we could be kind" is a series featuring any fics that take place after "More than Dangerous". all fics aside from that one can be read or skipped around in any order, but that original fic is somewhat fundamental for understanding what the situation is. of course, you don't have to read it if you don't want to, just check the notes below! feel free to poke in whatever order you like, anarchists <3
These fics primarily take place post-canon and have a focus on hurt/comfort, found family, and recovery from events in EPIC.
Character designs (if mentioned, but also In My Head) are primarily inspired from animatics by Ximena Natzel (Hermes), Gigi (Athena), Neal Illustrator (Ares) though this is more of me shouting them out PLEASE watch their animatics if you haven't somehow they're all So So So good.

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
Having learned what Posiedon has done to Hermes for aiding Odysseus, Zeus prepares to fight his brother. A common enough occurrence, usually without dire consequence.
To those huddled in Ithaca, trying to recover and lick their wounds from time and angry gods, all that is required is to sit tight and ignore the oncoming storm... Easier said than done.
or,
a massive storm breaks out while zeus and poseidon feud. odysseus, athena, and hermes don't take it very well.

Summary
Diomedes does not think he is a good man, by any definition. His deeds from the war still haunt his dreams after all these years. By some miracle, his goddess arrives in his new home and offers him a path to if not redemption, a path to keep living. At her command, he will go to Ithaca and protect the royal family until Odysseus can return.
With the only the help of a broken goddess and a looming prophecy on his head, can he keep Penelope and Telemachus alive until then?-

Summary
~ She turned to look at him again. They stood before each other and spat out venom, but no one would win. Only a battlefield of a boy’s fury and a goddess’s quiet regret.
“Your heart is cold. You fight and whisper wisdom to be known, like the rest of them.”
Odysseus once assumed she was untouchable. An immortal strength wrapped in bronze and wisdom. But no. She was human in her pain, and she had borne it alone.
And suddenly, all his cleverness—all his prized wit—was useless. What trick, what scheme, what plan could undo this kind of agony?
~(OR!!! After Odysseus and Athena's messy splitting in "My Goodbye", Athena finds herself spending each day trying to repay her debt to Odysseus without him even knowing it.)
(Basically an Athena-centric Fanfic based during and after "My Goodbye" with a lot of angst. Major focus on Athena, i'm terrible at summarising.)

Athena was stuck in this stupid bed, with her rival, Poseidon, across the room. Suddenly, Apollo walked into the infirmary. "Athena, you have a visitor." He walked out, and Aphrodite walked in and sat on the chair next to Athena's bed.

Basically, Aphrodite x Athena slow burn after the events of Ithaca Saga.

This ship(In my opinion) is severely underrated so fuck it I'm making a slowburn fic of it.

Summary
“And lastly the wind bag - we went through so much to get this.”
When Poseidon realizes that Hermes is the reason for Odysseus' success after leaving Ogygia, he takes matter into his own hands. Apollo, meanwhile, is desperately tired of his siblings angering their elders.
At least Athena is made for war. When Hermes is unable to withstand Poseidon's wrath, he'll need a little divine intervention or two of his own.

I Would Give My Immortality For You by NYXENNI

Summary
Odysseus was never meant to return early. Athena was never meant to defy Zeus. But she did. And for her disobedience, she paid the price. When Zeus casts her broken body at Odysseus's feet, demanding a cruel choice, the former hero must decide between the peace he earned and the goddess who once guided him home.
As the gods turn their backs on her, Telemachus steps forward. His bond with Athena has always been different, quieter, more personal. While Odysseus wrestles with guilt and distrust, Telemachus chooses care, loyalty, and something neither of them expected. In the fallout of Olympus’s judgment, that choice could change everything.

No smut yet but gods is this thing dark and FASCINATING. Sometimes events are hard to keep track of and the spacing sometimes make bits easy to accidentally skip, but a couple re-reads of parts and it's mostly fine. The premise is really engaging and I'm very curious to see how it goes from here.

Summary
Odysseus tried reaching out as well. Prayers, offerings, mind links, anything he could think of.
Nothing worked. Athena was completely silent. He was beginning to lose hope that she would ever come back. That she broke her promise again.
Until today.
But even he could have never expected something like this.
—
What if Zeus said no to freeing Odysseus? What if Athena went behind his back to free him? This is the consequence of her reckless actions.
