    Summary

    For twenty years, she has dreamt of this moment. Dreamt of the moment her husband would return, finally back by her side. She’s been clinging to this hope for so, so long, staring out at the sea from their balcony each night and praying to every God she knows of that she would see his ship on the horizon. Holding off these suitors because she knew he would return to her, that he would fight tooth and nail and conquer the Gods themselves to get back to them. And now it’s finally happening.

    He’s different than she remembers, dressed in an old cloak and drenched in the blood of her suitors. His arms are scattered with scars, far more than he had before he left all those years ago. His eyes are tired. Disregarding the dark bags beneath, there is a heavy sense of exhaustion in them, the weight of twenty years of being away from his home. “Is it really you, my love? Have my prayers been answered?”

    Penelope” he breathes out, his gaze softening, a flood of emotion overtaking the exhaustion as he takes a step forward, into their room.

    SPOILERS FOR THE ITHACA SAGA

     

    A missing moment between Athena and Odysseus after the events of the Ithaca Saga, because they need to have a fuller conversation than what we got in I Can't Help But Wonder and I love these two too much to not write something for them and give them a proper epilogue

    "Odysseus does not recognise him at first.

    He sees a man, staring at him, tears spilling down his cheeks and Odysseus does not recognise him. Not until he sees the same eyes, the same dark hair as his. Not until the man is crying does he see a baby, clutching onto his shirt."

    Summary

    In an alternate turn of events, Penelope finds out what the suitors have planned once they fail her challenge and she snaps.

    This is kind of a Warrior!Penelope fanfic. She's still at home and Odysseus is off doing his monster thing somewhere though.

    Loosely based on, but definitely inspired by, the fan AU song released by Gwendy. Give it a listen, it's awesome.

    Summary

    " Drive me home, Lord Poseidon. "

    A pity he must listen to him, fumbling to even take his body onto his back as his form warps and fades. A man completely withered in his own territory, the ocean, pathetically tailing a mortal's duties.
