    Summary

    Aphrodite had foreseen Paris' triumph – her triumph, in truth. The moment his eyes would fall upon Helen of Sparta, he would understand: this was the reward for his devotion, this was the woman the gods themselves had deemed worthy of a prince so favoured.

    She had not foreseen his rejection.

    Had not expected him to turn away from the prize she had laid before him, to spurn the very woman he had once coveted with all his heart.

    Nor had she anticipated that his desire would stray – not to another queen, most certainly not to Helen’s own cousin.

     

    Penelope of Sparta.

     

    (Or, after coming across a portrait of Penelope during his time in Sparta, Paris of Troy switches his kidnapping victim from Helen to Penelope. This proves far more detrimental than anyone could have imagined - a spark burning so bright that even the Gods on Olympus are caught in its flames.)

    Summary

    The ship came to their shores in the third year after the war ended.

    One ship, just one, and Penelope stood on the clifftop near her husband’s palace and looked down upon the harbor below, and clenched her fist in her himation until it was wrapped around her so tight that it was imprinting its weave pattern onto her skin. Just one ship, and the men she could see disembarking were too few to be fifty, and none turned to hare instantly up the hill towards her.

    Penelope turned away to head into the palace, to wait for the bad news to find her.

    (odysseus chooses to sacrifice himself, and penelope chooses not to let him go)

    Summary

    A change in the mechanics of [OFA] and a change in the Joint Training team composition lead to an interesting discovery. A better relationship between members of 1-A and 1-B starts with Monoma copying [OFA], a bite from Tokage to stop [Black Whip]'s rampage, and Midoriya finding out that [Fa Jin] and [OFA] are a dangerous combination for the bearer.

    Setsuna Tokage, Neito Monoma and their quirks get the recognition they deserve, 1-B's history at UA gets explored, and Midoriya analyzes quirks.

    But all three will find that their quirks don't leave the Joint Training the same as they entered.

    Also, a bunny.

    Summary

    It was a well-known fact that the Traveler gets into trouble wherever he goes. So when the time came for him to go to Fontaine, it was natural for him to get arrested and put on trial. But that was sometime back and those crimes were pretty minor in the long run.

    However, as news spread across the lands that he has been once again arrested for much more serious matters, the various nations he has visited send their best (or most available) representatives to help him. But should something go awry, they'd have little choice but to help him break him out.

    ...Who are we kidding? Operation Prison Break was the main plan from the very beginning.
