    Summary

    Thunder cracks, and Odysseus flinches hard. It's the first storm to hit since his return to Ithaca, and it sends him right back to his ship, to the sea, to noise and waves and terror and helplessness, to Zeus's booming voice - Choose. You? Or your crew?

    Penelope finds him at the window in their bedchamber, gazing unseeing out the window.

    Summary

    An overcast day doesn't cow Odysseus, of course, but it brings memories crawling back into his mind. Gray, cold - the way everything had been in the Underworld.

    After it all, Athena seeks out Telemachus.

    Or: Athena can't bring herself to stay away from the family that showed her precisely what the word "family" meant, even if its patriarch never wants to see her again.

    Summary

    Have you ever fantasized about getting gangbanged by the gods of the sea and sky? Because Odysseus of Ithaca is about to live your dream come true! AU where Omega Odysseus chooses to sacrifice himself in Thunderbringer. And of course, Poseidon invites himself to the party.

    But what’s this? Oh, they are just fucking eachother now? I guess that’s fine. Really, we’ll just watch from over here.

     

    Count Odysseus as surprised as the rest of you when it turns out Zeus meant ‘take him’ take him. The omega can't decide whether being whisked away to Olympus is better or worse than being struck down where he stands.

     

    And now, Ody has the pleasure of witnessing two of the most powerful gods in all of Olympus squabble like young children.

    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.

    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.
