    Summary

    The flow of the heart bleeds freely from peering eyes, seen clear through the thick skin and muscle with how the king pleads on an endless cycle.

    He pleads that he will raise the infant as his own

    And so he does.

    -

    Odysseus refuses to kill Astyanax, swearing that he’ll care for him, soon resulting Zeus to conduct measures of the king’s choice of words.

    Summary

    “Brother, God King, rarely do I ask for favors-“

    “No need for poetry, puddle boy. What do you want?”

    “Zeus, I told you and Hades to stop calling me tha- Ugh, never mind. There’s something I need you to do.”

    “What is it?”

    “…It’s Odysseus.”

    Summary

    Everyone had been begging the king for answers. They had suspected he had something to do with Poseidon’s anger. Everyone in the kingdom seemed to suspect him of angering the gods. That was the only thing that explained the constant storms that plundered their islands, or the sudden droughts that arrived days later.

    Odysseus had remained silent through it all. He neither confirmed nor denied the rumours. Just let them spread like a disease through the kingdom, causing outrage from the civilians who were affected by the god’s wrath.

    “We both changed for the worst,” the king replied. “We had different circumstances that brought that change, some more noble than others, but we both went through it. Now, we are both trying to heal. To escape the man we turned into. To find the comfort we once had. To earn a place next to our loved ones.”

    Antinous scoffed. There were no similarities between the two. Yet when the king spoke in that solemn tone, filled with guilt and grief he almost believed it.

    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.)

    Summary

    It had been so natural. The shift between god and mortal, to friends, then to… this. His teeth worried the skin of his lip as he turned back to the mirror. He studied the map of freckles in an attempt to center himself. It was hard to accept the god's opinion of him, even on a good day. There was no secret of the gods playing with mortals. Enjoying the company for moments, even months, yet those stories always seemed so harsh. Coercion, trickery, and assault are just some of many ways the beings above played with them.
    Hermes wasn’t like that. Not with him. Not with this. It felt like power was transferred when they were together. The moment Hermes had his sandals hit the Ithacan soil, he would fall to his knees before even suggesting Telemachus lower his head to the immortal.

    Was that natural?

    Was a god capable of being so devout?

    ------

    Alternatively: Hermes shows how much he adores and worships his little Legend.

    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

    “What are you carving?” a few of the children ask, the younger ones hiding behind the backs of their older, braver siblings.
    “I don’t know yet,” the king replies. “But I think it’s important.”

     

    Or: In which Odysseus amasses a small army of Ithacan children, a very large army of wooden soldiers, and the support system to heal just that little bit further.

    Summary

    Platonic yandere gods!!!

     

    Gods can never love like humans do their love is restricting and cruel, yet they do not think so.

     

    So what happens when gods find humans they care for, not in the way Hera acorns, but more parental, platonic love.

     

    Well that love would be all the more restricting than romantic wouldn't it? After all gods would not have to fear their mortal lovers being scourned because of them, and it does not go away as quickly as romantic.

     

    A gods love is torturous and caging, no matter what type it may be.

    ——————————————————
    Or platonic yandere one shots of Greek gods!

     

    I will do: epic the musical and
    Percy Jackson Also Hades the game!. And might do some other myths aswell

    This was inspired by me thinking the Greek gods could be incredible platonic yanderes.

    Summary

    The Fates aren’t called the weavers for nothing. They create the tapestry of the universe and anchor every being in it, be it god or mortal, human or animal. But sometimes, even for them, it’s hard controlling certain things. Some yarns are stubborn beyond compare, trying to change their path, ripping through the fabric, or even daring to intertwine with others in a way that is not always predictable (or intended).

    But never, ever before, since the creation of all that is, had there been two beings interwoven like this… forging a connection that transcended time and space, defying every logic and rule there ever was in their strive to be together. Calling each other, even across the centuries standing between them.

    This is their story. Of loss and heartbreak, of war and death, but above all… about a love so great, not even time could keep them apart. It is about finding a person, a place, to call home. About how to defend it against every foe and hardship.

    And between Telemachus’ wit and Percy’s power, there is few that could even dream of standing in their way…

    Summary

    Aphrodite had foreseen Paris' triumph – her triumph, in truth. The moment his eyes would fall upon Helen of Sparta, he would understand: this was the reward for his devotion, this was the woman the gods themselves had deemed worthy of a prince so favoured.

    She had not foreseen his rejection.

    Had not expected him to turn away from the prize she had laid before him, to spurn the very woman he had once coveted with all his heart.

    Nor had she anticipated that his desire would stray – not to another queen, most certainly not to Helen’s own cousin.

     

    Penelope of Sparta.

     

    (Or, after coming across a portrait of Penelope during his time in Sparta, Paris of Troy switches his kidnapping victim from Helen to Penelope. This proves far more detrimental than anyone could have imagined - a spark burning so bright that even the Gods on Olympus are caught in its flames.)

    Summary

    Telemachus never asked for much—only that the gods help his father return. But when he learns that Hermes had barely lifted a finger, he does what any desperate son (and very determined lover) would do: he begs. Sweetly. Stubbornly. With kisses, whispered promises, and a pout no god could resist.

    Hermes had faced monsters, storms, and divine politics. But nothing prepared him for a pleading prince whispering, “I’ll be a good boy... so please.”
