Was It All for Nothing? by Scarlett_Guardian

Summary
Fates… I didn’t want to be a half-blood. I didn’t use to be before. This shouldn’t even be my story. Turns out when you’re considered too useful, too important, divinity will try and use you to their heart’s content.
They never seem to learn their lesson, and I have faced the consequences time and time again. I was so close to my happy ending, and now look at me. Here again. This new life is dangerous, of course, it’s nothing I haven’t faced before. But it’s terrifying all the same, especially with this… his… blood flowing through my veins.
You might think this is a work of fiction, and I am glad you will never feel my pain, but my stories can be pretty tragic so… don’t say I didn’t warn you.
If you do decide to continue, please learn from my mistakes. To be honest, the lives I have lived won’t just be considered strange. They’re going to be…
Epic.

Summary
Literally just fics of Apollo/Telemachus. I'm always open to any suggestions or story ideas! I love both Epic and the Rick Riordan universe/books. So, I'm quite happy with myself upon shipping these two. (Is that a weird thing to say? ...Probably). Anyways, I'm involved in multitude of other fandoms (mostly animes and shows), so if you ever want a cross-over or something, let me know. That's all I suppose. Enjoy!

During the long night they’re gifted with after Odysseus’ arrival home, they swear off swapping tragedies for just this night and instead spend their time reacquainting themselves with each others bodies, taking stock of every change and development, and caring for one another.

Summary
Odysseus is a woman, she spent ten years pretending to be a man for the war, and another ten trying to get back home to her wife. Everyone she's ever loved (and hated) will now know what's taken her so long to return to Ithaca.
She spent so long pretending she was a man that she still referes to herself as a man
Her eye colour changing is a thing so the colour will be mentioned a lot like an odd amountThis is NOT accurate to actual lore!!!

Summary
There it was again. A frantic, desperate longing for something he could not name, knowing only that he was lacking, but unable to say what. It had never been like this, not that he could remember, and yet it felt ancient, older than he was, a feeling clawing for space behind his ribs.
Telemachus was a couple of winters away from being crowned, and here he was, trembling hands outstretched to his father, his eyes averted so he would not have to see the blood. He felt silly, letting his father dote on him like this. He was a man, taking after his mother to tower over Odysseus when the two walked abreast, and he was a prince, and he sat before Odysseus now with a twenty year wide rift between them, with no way to bridge the gap but talk. Telemachus had faith that they could do it. They had all the time in the world.
Still, nothing would ever change the fact that he had grown up without a father, and that void would forever sit empty.
He ached. Even now that Odysseus was here, Telemachus ached for him to have been there.
/////
Or: Until his father returned, Telemachus never knew how much grief he held for all the years without him. It’s not too late to catch up, though.

Summary
Odysseus always wanted to be a father.
The war tore him from his home and his family, but maybe he can make a new one— find a new one in the soldiers who joined the war too young.
Nobody ever told him how hard it would be.
OR
Odysseus goes through a lot. Like, a lot.
(This is a 3 + 1 fic. Expect a new chapter once per week until completion.)

Summary
“Why should I hate you?”
Her question lacked the innocence a child should have. In fact, the way she spoke very maturely only brought a stab of guilt into his heart. She shouldn’t have to ask that question. She shouldn’t have to feel like she was undeserving of love. And yet, she was asking why she should hate him? After all the ways he had failed her?
“Because I’m a monster,” he replied.
The girl got up from the sand in response. Closing the distance, she walked until she was in front of him. The moon poured its silver light onto her, making her glow in an ethereal way like his Penelope. She knelt on her knees and looked up at him. Her eyes shone with a strong resolve.
“You’re not a monster. You’re my father.”

Summary
Odysseus fights Zeus for his and his crew's lives and wins. Skipping over Calypso's island, he gets to return home to Ithaca with thirty-six others. Things are fine. It’s over.
And yet, he can’t help but wait for the other shoe to drop, anxiously anticipating disaster. Overwhelmed by his fear and unable to live with the uncertainty, he goes and seeks it out himself just to get it over with.
He gets more than he bargained for, and learns some things about himself on the way.
/////
Or: A tale about healing, change, and finding connection in unexpected places - or a needlessly complex metaphor for trauma, if that's how you wanna read it.

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
**JUST A WARNING, i'm following through with this, the second chapter is halfway done and i have a complete outline so yeah. idk what to title this yet tbh soo work title for now!!**
During Love in Paradise, Odysseus instead has a panic attack and out of hysteria, jumps from the cliff.
Instead of checking up on Ithaca, Athena checks on Odysseus himself.
Instead of Odysseus' body landing within Ogygia's borders, it lands in the sea, Poseidon's domain.These three things change far more than fate expected. Or, simply, everyone is dead and therefore everything is better. Kinda.
As always, I'm horrible at summaries, it's basically Odysseus as a protector of demigods :))

One Born of A Noble Mother by thehouseofblack

Summary
He hated it.
He hated her.
What woman does not stand behind her son?!
Did she not bear him?! Did she not nurse him when he cried at her breast or soothe his childhood fears?! Did she not sit with him beneath Lady Selene’s sky when he was small, teaching him the constellations, naming the winds? Was all of that a lie?! How could she turn her back on him now, when he needed her most?!
Did she not see how they were devouring his home?!
They drank his wine, they slaughtered his herds, they slept in his father’s hall, they spoke of his mother like she was some prize sow fattened for market, something to be taken.
And she sat there, still, calm, refusing.
(or, Telemachus and Penelope's tumultuous relationship before and after Odysseus' return to Ithaca)

Summary
The ocean waves brushed against the shores and his grandmother turned to look at him. Her eyes were not as deep now, no longer a rich green but murky and faded.
A lump formed in his throat, every thought leaving him at the sight of her face. Serine was the only way to describe it, a peacefulness he had never seen.
Their calm evening now felt too much like a goodbye. The setting sun an omen for events yet to come.
Or,
Telemachus was not having a fun time while his father was away for twenty years. Twenty years without his dad, almost eight of them spent dealing with 108 suitors trying to marry his mom, not a fun time. This is a story about Telemachus, what happened in their home while Odysseus was away and how life changed when he returned.Series

Summary
The wisest thing to do would be to forget everything. Let him rot on the island at the hands of Calypso and simply admit her defeat. However, contradicting her mind, this time the heart of the goddess Athena speaks louder. Hearing Odysseus' continuous cries and prayers, she cannot stand still. Therefore, the goddess of wisdom takes matters into her own hands and goes in search of Odysseus, defying the will of the gods and, especially, of her own Father.
Alternate Universe in which Athena fails to convince the gods to free Odysseus, breaks the deal and goes to save him anyway. And, in the process, discovers feelings until then buried in her own neglected heart.

Summary
Slowly, as if attempting to touch a wounded animal, Polites moves one of his hands back to his shoulder. His smile becomes smaller, gentler now. “I can tell you’re getting nervous, so do-”
“I’m fine, Polites.” He says firmly, interrupting the words that have been plaguing him since his best friend’s passing. He shrugs the other’s hand off his shoulder as he begins to get up from where he had been sitting. Odysseus cautiously adjusts his grip on the babe in his arms, ensuring that Astyanax will not fall from his arms.

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.
