    Summary

    The sweet perfume of Penelope wafting through the air. The sounds of Telemachus' sword strokes and laughter echoing through the palace corridors.

    This was home.

    The tragedy of the last 20 years of Odysseus' life should have ended with his return to Ithaca. Oh, but why, after all the hardships he had endured, was he still so naive?

    OR: It's hard for Odysseus to be a husband, father and king when his mind is still haunted by his past actions.

    Summary

    One day Odysseus will die and he will meet with his mother again in the Underworld. This is what I imagine a reprise could be for I Can't Help But Wonder, only instead of Odysseus and Telemachus, it's Odysseus and Anticlea

    Summary

    After Athena bravely fights for Odysseus, Hermes realizes that he needs to ensure his great-grandson’s freedom and safe return home. His family needs his help, and he makes a solemn vow to himself- he will get Odysseus home safely, no matter what.

    Basically the immediate aftermath of the wisdom saga, the vengeance saga, and the ithaca saga from Hermes’ point of view! First chapter is immediately god games but it will go all the way to the ithaca saga and have an epilogue! We desperately need more hermes and odysseus family fics on here, and i am going to try my best to deliver!

    Summary

    There were eyes watching him. Wherever he goes, he feels them watching him. They stalk him through the halls, when he walks into town, negotiating trades and alliances with fishermen or neighboring kingdoms, he can feel them watching him. At the end of the hallway until he turns the corner and suddenly it’s like they’re on top of him, or through windows or crowds as he walks through the markets, buying something for his family.

    Summary

    Antinous survives the Ithaca Saga with intervention from the gods; he wishes he hadn't.

    Zeus claims Antinous as his newest cup bearer and a plaything for Ganymede. The man is unwillingly transformed into a minor god over the course of a year on Olympus. He has to adjust to his new station in life and the many complications of Zeus's experimental godly ascension while fending off his and Ganymede's attentions, Hera's wrath, and Athena's cold hatred.

    After five years of this torment, he sees a chance for escape, but things are complicated when Ganymede is injured in the process. Even worse, he lands on Ithaca, outside of the royal palace, where he begs the Prince of Ithaca for sanctuary.

    The royals have to decide what to do with the two godlings on their doorstep and what kind of justice they will demand from Antinous after his actions as a Suitor. But when Antinous's strange new powers present complicate life and Telemachus finds himself sympathizing with the tortured god's situation, he is torn between old memories and new resolutions for peace with his enemies.

    Despite all of this work, Zeus is not one to be slighted.

    Summary

    "Athena? Sweetheart?" She crouched down to her level, lightly touching her shoulders, shaking her gently. Athena didn't react, lashes wet with tears. Her voice was weak and hoarse, breaking as she finally glanced up to the queen.

    "Why does everyone leave me..."

    This was something I wrote using a writing prompt on Tumblr, which is why it's so short :')

    Summary

    “... and the palace was so, so high in the sky, Antheia, and it was beautiful!”

    His father stands in the nursery, cradling the week-old infant in his arms as he slowly rocks her to sleep to no avail, taking tiny steps across the room as he does so. They had named her flower, blossom. His mother was already calling the baby her flower, and the name fits her. Though born in winter, Telemachus imagines her cradled in springtime, and he knows she will love her name.

    or;

    I just really really wanted Odysseus to be a girl dad

    Summary

    " Are you sure you're fine with this? " Penelope asks for the umpteenth time, still rubbing olive oil on the phallus.

    Odysseus looks at her like she's the most gorgeous woman in the world, and indeed she is in the candlelight that bathes over her nude body. He's still clothed, though he obviously sports an erection that still flusters her.

    " Yes, of course. "

    OR

    Odysseus is finally spoiled after a long ride home.

    Summary

    Telemachus has found a dog. A nice dog. Penelope is smitten, but Odysseus - who is close to celebrating his birthday - knows nothing about it. Yet. It's a secret confided only to a small circle, destined to cause mayhem as soon as Odysseus learns about the truth in the worst possible way. More reason to open their hearts as much as their eyes. And, for the first time in years, wonder.

    About the future. About the past. But especially about the present, and the world outside Ithaca alongside it.

    Even if it means rediscovering old cuts and mending fresh ones.

    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. :‘ )

    Summary

    I was nine when I met the crown prince of Ithaca.

    He was too joyous and adventurous for me, but there was this glint in his eyes that made my soul dance in recognition.

    Solitude.
    Longing.

    We never stayed apart from each other.
