    Summary

    After a year of siege, the Trojan War is at its end, and nineteen-year-old Odysseus, captain of the Ithacan armies, is ready to go home. But Zeus commands him to slay one more foe: the infant Astyanax. Failure to do so carries a sentence of very possible death for everyone Odysseus loves.

    He should take the easy way out. He should choose thousands of innocent lives over a single infant foe.

    He doesn't.
    ---------
    Sixteen years after the siege of Troy, Astyanax of Ithaca has all he's ever wanted: a home, a lover, a life of privilege. But all of that hinges on the fact that almost no one in his kingdom knows who he truly is.

    When Naxy's heritage is revealed, everything and everyone he loves are thrown into peril. Forced to compete for the hand of his lover Telemachus, it is all he can do to hope that he has what it takes to save the crown prince, and Ithaca herself, from the hand of the usurper Antinous.
    ---------
    Or:

    A single, timeline-shattering choice sets off a cascade of destruction.

    A stolen prince learns the lengths he'll go for love.

    And a fallen king finally understands that only the brave choose mercy.

    Summary

    Athena was still struggling with the weight of her goodbye. At times she had her doubts but it was for the best, she would convince herself.

    If Odysseus would not listen to reason, then he can't continue being her student. It was just that simple.

    At least, it should have been.

    She'll come to find out in time that her goodbye was also her greatest mistake.

    But what will become of the lost King, the Goddess of Wisdom and everyone they are connected to from this sudden realization?

    Note: SOMEWHAT AU, HAPPENS FURTHER IN.

    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

    Inspired by: Lazy_Person & EPIC: The Musical

    "My body ached and throbbed as I tried my best to walk over to the ocean. I barely went to the ocean before my legs felt weaker again but I tried my best to hold up just long enough.
    I reached my hand out but felt only the beating and throbbing of my heart and body. Why was the water not responding to my powers? What was wrong?"

    Or in other words, Poseidon getting hit by his Trident causes more damage than you would think. He loses his powers and gets stranded. What's worse is that the other gods don't take the news well: especially Hades and Zeus.

    Summary

    Hades only wanted to talk with Persephone for a moment in the Underworld - just long enough to overcome his nerves and introduce himself. The situation goes horribly awry and the young woman is trapped in the Underworld for what looks to be forever. How can he possibly show her he's different from his brothers when she's afraid of his very presence? This smut-free retelling uses a mix of Neal's lore and me and my sister's headcanons. It's written as a sweet and sometimes bittersweet story, centered around a growing romance between two friends.

    Summary

    Everyone always looks at the main character of a story. The hero. The one at the front. The one everyone knows. But what about those who hide in the background? What about the characters who don't get much spotlight? What about the characters that everyone forgets?

    Follow Perimedes through the story of the Odyssey as he figures out all that he ever needed to be happy during a difficult, heartbreaking, and bittersweet journey.

    Summary

    Athena goes to Zeus in private to request Odysseus's freedom. Instead of striking Athena, Zeus offers her a deal. He will release Odysseus from Ogygia if Athena agrees to spend a year as a mortal in Odysseus's palace. With little say in the matter, she accepts.

    On Ithaca, Athena awakes in the body of a 12 year old servant, specifically an orphan servant with a reputation for poor performance. Which is good because Athena has no idea what she's doing and doesn't have much time to learn. Suitors have infected the palace, Telemachus is waiting for divine help that will never come, and Odysseus will be home in two weeks. She has a lot of work ahead of her, and it won't end when Odysseus retakes his throne.

    Summary

    This is my version of ‘EPIC: The Musical’. It includes cut songs, cut verses, fan songs, fan verses, and mashups of cut and final songs. In parentheses there will be the actions of the characters, which I added after being inspired to do so by ObiWanKenobiObsessed’s story ‘His Journey Home’, which I highly recommend reading. Also, there are very little changes in act 1, but there will be major additions/subtractions in act 2. Now, without further ado, here is ‘Ultimate EPIC’

    Summary

    "He proceeded towards the window, slowly, as if he was trying to delay the inevitable.
    When, suddenly, with that abnormal lucidity that occasionally arises in situations that seem desperate, a question made its way into his mind: what if all that was not inevitable?
    Odysseus froze again, the bundle still clutched in his arms.
    Prophecies are always destined to come true. But who had said that? Had anyone ever really tried to avoid them?
    What if... What if it was possible?"

    Basically, an AU in which Odysseus spares Astyanax/Scamandrius, gambling everything in an attempt to prove that prophecies can be avoided.

    Summary

    Athena's been hurt, much more thoroughly than she realized was possible. For the first time in her immortal life, she is fighting against her own body and mind, and she doesn't know how to win.

    Odysseus is home. After two more weeks on sea, a fight with 108 suitors and reunited with his family, he’s quietly accepted that even a desperate prayer won’t bring his former mentor to come back. Little does he know, for two weeks, it’s all Athena’s been trying to do.

    Or, what if after God Games, Athena doesn’t wake up in the infirmary? What if it’s up to a few mortals to take care of the goddess that just collapsed in their palace, looking like she should very much be dead?

    Summary

    While a god and a dead prophet figure out a cruel punishment from Zeus, two 15-year-olds sit in detention, refusing to meet the other's eyes.

    When he was constantly blamed for every little prank and trick, it didn't help that Hermes was named after the Greek god of mischief(thanks to his mythology obsessed mother). It also doesn't help that his father was the principal, and had decided that his middle son wasn't worth anything compared to his older and younger brothers.

    Tiresias wasn't blind. He refused to believe that the violent injury to his face that he endured would leave him completely unscathed, save for his eyes. He refused to believe that God could keep his features that often got him unwanted attention, yet take his sight. It seemed that he finally lived up to his name; the real prophet would be cackling from Hel. Tiresias wouldn't accept it, until his ex decided that he wasn't worth loving if he couldn't see.

    They were there for different reasons, but only one thing mattered - they met each other, and one fateful meeting just so happened to change their lives forever.

    Summary

    Tiresias, despite his intense guilt for not doing more for Odysseus and so many others, has somehow become precious to the messenger god, Hermes. Zeus though, has never liked their friendship. Neither has Athena, or Apollo, or Hera…

    Ok, fine. The list goes on for actually quite some time. One day, when Hermes was discovered sneaking off to go visit the prophet, Zeus has had ENOUGH. Frustrated by the god's antics, which he had previously ignored, Zeus decides to give Hermes his first punishment; he is now stuck in the Underworld until Zeus needs him. He could still fly, and the gods could visit him as they pleased, but that's the thing... none of the gods would even know what happened to the beloved messenger. Also angered by the prophet he was often visiting, Zeus decides to put some salt in Tiresias's already painful wounds; he could no longer see the future and the past until Hermes leaves the Underworld. Now stuck without the only reason he didn't let himself rot away, Tiresias must face all the guilt he had pent up from the past. But, how can he do that when the one thing keeping him from not having to is the one thing he doesn't want to lose?

    Summary

    What does it take to bring 600 men safely back home?
    Weapons? Food? Stories?

    Or maybe just a bit of common sense.
    After all, they’re just men.

    ________________________________________________________________

     

    (Or, the one where a girl joins Odysseus’s crew to help them find food—
    but they’ve all underestimated the power of a strong-willed woman.
    Luckily, Polites is quite used to being told what to do.)
