Summary
Odysseus grew up in a very loving, well off family, with loving parents and a....well, loving is an overstatement, maybe "tolerable" little sister. They lived in their little town of Ithaca, New York, where Odysseus met his friends and went to elementary and middle school, and was also mentored under the watchful eye of his Mentor Athena. But then things went....extremely southwards, his Mentor moved away to a bigger town, somewhere in Michigan, Odysseus' father Laertes, who was providing for their family, got diagnosed with dementia. Anticlea, looking to both get Odysseus in a better school, get better treatment for her husband, buy a cheaper, more sustainable house with her rather rather measly income, and connect with some older family friends, decided to uproot their family and move them to Troy, Michigan. She picked up more jobs where she could to get the money for their fathers' treatment, as well as to sustain their family, leaving Odysseus to care for his sister mostly alone while starting a completely new school in a completely new town he knows nothing about.
This is my first ever fic, I'll try to keep updates consistent, probably once every week or 2. It's probably going to be cringe, but ill have fun.

Summary
Odysseus sighed heavily as his raft floated closer to Ithaca. He was so close. He had gone through Hell to get here, and he wasn’t going to let anything take him away from it.
His raft rocked a little, and Odysseus picked up his knife in a flash. Was it a creature? Just water? He wasn’t going to take any chances.
Then a head poked out of the water a few feet away from the raft.
Or,
An under appreciated god chats with Odysseus about morals and death.

Summary
Odysseus awakes after the mutiny to the smell of smoke.
There were things the crew didn't need to know, things Odysseus would keep to himself, for their safety, for his. It was wisdom, he told himself.
Until it wasn't.-

Summary
Before the slaughter, he had watched his boy from the shadows of his own home, from behind the mask of a beggar, cloaked in silence.
Telemachus walked the palace Odysseus had built like it was a battlefield.
Not with a sword, no—not yet—but with the quiet watchfulness of a soldier expecting ambush at every turn. The boy's shoulders were too tense for his age, his gaze too practiced in disappointment. There was no sound of his boyish laughter in the halls, only measured steps, sharp silences, and the rot of overstayed guests.Series

Summary
Odysseus' childhood was quiet simple, as far as he remembers. Playing in the field, running around a castle, playing with sheep, and so on. Nothing special, just a life a prince would have.
Hermes, and most, if not all of Olympus have something very different to say.
Now, just as 10 year lasting Trojan War has finally ended, and it is time to return home, Odysseus now has to face the things, which he has long forgotten.
or,
If Hermes an even better grand-grandfather to Odysseus

Fates' retelling of a warrior queen by Thisangstisinyourwalls for DancerInTheRain

Summary
“My friend! Message has arrived from Troy! The war has ended and the fleets are on their way!”
Odysseus felt his whole body freeze as he heard those words he had prayed for for so long. He could barely belive it...
His wife was coming home…
Or:
Odysseus, in this attempt at avoiding leaving his family alone to go to war, composes a vaguely mythologically accurate plan to evade the draft. But his failure poses even greater consequences than he could have ever imagined when he realises a certain someone has taken up his sword in his absence…-

Summary
She trails her fingers over his arms, soothing skin that has known too much salt and sun. Then down to his chest, over the ribs that strained with hunger in foreign lands, down further, until she reaches the scar on his thigh.
She lingers there.
Her thumb brushes the raised seam of it, the mark left behind by a boy too eager for the hunt, a boy on the cusp of legend. He remembers the first time she touched it, years ago—how she'd laughed at the foolishness of joining the hunt for the boar, at the recklessness that had nearly cost him his life before someone else’s war took him from her instead, before years upon years were lost to the sea, to gods and monsters, to the slow erosion of himself.
Now, she says nothing, only traces the line of it with deliberate familiarity. The water ripples with her movements, lapping against his skin, the warmth a contrast to the cool press of her fingers.
He exhales. Catches her hand, steady and knowing.
“I would say I could pick you out of a thousand men,” she murmurs, still eyeing the old wound, “but I imagine half the world could do the same by now.”
An Epilogue.

Bookmark Notes:
“I know the man I married,” she says. “Clever, cunning, and sharp as the edge of a warrior’s blade. A man who outsmarts gods and kings and tries to bend fate to his will.”
"Doesn’t it bother you," Odysseus asks, voice quiet, "that your husband is not a good man?" He turns his face away, jaw tight. “I mean—” his voice drops lower, rough with shame. “What kind of man slaughters unarmed men in his own hall? Leaves his crew to die across the sea? Survives while the rest—”
“The kind of man who comes home,” Penelope interrupts.
…
“And that's enough?”She leans in, her breath warm against his skin. “Odysseus, it's everything.”
For a long moment, he says nothing. He only looks at her, still searching her face, longing for the ease with which he used to read her.
“You would take me, cunning and clever, over good?” His voice is softer now.
Penelope looks at him, something fierce and unwavering in her eyes. “I would take you as you are. However you are—because I love you.”
He reaches for her hand, fingers curling around hers, giving voice to the one unshakable truth in all his years of wandering.
“My wife, my home, my heart,” he murmurs, pressing a kiss to her knuckles, “I am yours.”
1000000/10, would read again. Worshipful sex, insightful self reflection, Penelope and Ody are so in love. Odysseus would burn the world down for his wife, but he’s starting with that damn shroud.

Summary
“That won’t be an issue. We’ll cut him down into tiny pieces, throw him down in the deep below.” He smirks, “when the crown wonders where the prince is,” he throws his arms out to the sides, “only the ocean and I will know!” The suitors cheer again, a few of them laughing. Odysseus’ blood boils in his veins. They’re laughing and celebrating. Antinous just threatened to torture and dismember his son before throwing him into the ocean, and these men are excited about it.
The commotion dies down a bit, and Antinous speaks again. “And when the deed is done, the queen will have no one to stop us from breaking her bedroom door,” Odysseus' blood goes from boiling to ice cold, his breath catching in his throat. “Stop us from taking her love and more!” Odysseus’ limbs stiffen, his pulse growing even faster as he stares. There’s a look of unhinged, unbridled lust in Antinous’ eyes. They’re glazed over, and horror runs up Odysseus’ spine as he realizes the man is probably picturing what he is describing, indulging in the thought of assaulting his wife, chest heaving with heavy breaths.

Summary
Odysseus stood in front of him, bow steady in his blood-soaked fingers, arrow notched and aimed between Telemachus’ eyes. Telemachus had spent years studying the man before him, comparing the two of them. He’d lost count of the number of times people in the palace had told him that he looked just like his father had at his age.
Now he wondered if he would grow into Odysseus’ rage, if his own eyes would harden the way his father’s had, if he’d grow to enjoy the taste of blood if he only lived another twenty-five years.
.
Telemachus looked at Odysseus and saw a vision of his future.
Odysseus looked at Telemachus and saw a stranger in his home.

Summary
After finally arriving in Ithaca and reuniting with his family, Odysseus does not notice at first. Sure, it was weird that most of his old clothes, which he left behind, were missing but he assumed a maid had stored them in the storage halls. Well until those were recovered, he just had to make do with the garments he had still found in his closet, which were a bit big on him. During their first breakfast as a complete family after 20 years of being forced apart though, he finally does notice: His sons garments look suspiciously similar to his old missing clothes!
Telemachus is nervous of his father being home. Of course he feels elated and cannot wait to get to know him but does he even want him as his son? After all, he could not even protect his mother from a handful of suitors while his father managed to end their terror all by himself?
Based on a headcanon I shared on Tumblr. You can read the post here.
The fic is better than my summary. I didn’t spend any time thinking about how I’m going to word this. :‘ )
Title is a work in progress

He wants to run to her. He wants to drop to his knees and beg for her forgiveness. He wants her hands in his hair and her lips on his own. He wants her touch.
He wants it to feel like it used to. He knows it no longer will. He knows that once her skin touches his, he will no longer see his wife.
Or: Odysseus’s relationship with physical touch.

Summary
"What is the point,” she whispered, “if the shell of his mother still walks the halls… but she has turned hollow? If I become a vessel of grief and nothing more?”
He had no answer.
Only silence.
Only the roaring tide of his own heart beating wildly beneath his ribs, aching for her, for the love they shared, for the impossible ask he had laid at her feet. He would not be able to continue on in a world without her and yet…
“You must,” he murmured again, more to himself now than to her.
Her gaze softened. Her hand cupped his face. “Then return to me,” she said. “That is the only answer I will accept. Come back to me, Odysseus. No matter how long it takes. No matter how lost you become. Find your way back. There is no Penelope without Odysseus.”
(Or, Odysseus and Penelope spending their last night and morning together before they're separated for twenty years)
