    Summary

    “Honestly, why are you so attached to my head? Not even letting the King take a piece. Greedy. I know my eyes are pretty and my tongue–” he paused, eyes flicking to regard the prince. “Is that what you’re after, little wolf? You like this body?” he suggested, spreading his legs wider.

    Telemachus choked on his wine. “Don’t be crass! It's only your hands I care for.” He flushed. “Your swordhand! I mean, your skill in combat, of course.”

    Antinous stilled, frowning. “You want me… to fight?”

    Or: Telemachus saves Antinous from the slaughter of the suitors, demanding he teach him how to fight in return for protection from Odysseus' wrath. Along the way, he realizes the suitor is pretty. And a demigod.

    Summary

    108 suitors, all vying for his mother’s hand in marriage. None of them worthy of her, of course. The fact that his father was very much alive, although long missing, was only part of the reason they’d never get to marry her. She was above them, perfect in every way, and Telemachus would do anything to save her from a loveless, very likely abusive, marriage from any of these dogs. Absolutely anything.

    AKA: Telemachus accepts to marry Antinous to save his mum.

    Summary

    Troy’s war is over, king Odysseus is coming home after ten long years. Or that was supposed to happen. Odysseus of Ithaca is nowhere to be seen, his wife and son still waiting.

    In the air a lingering question, unspoken by the lips of the living, but asked by their hearts, witnesses of life still beating:

    When does a man become a monster?

    Telemachus is not sure of the answer himself, but unknowingly, he’ll live an odyssey of his own, next to the last person on earth he imagined. An old friend, or enemy should say? Dunno, it’s hard to categorize a man who’s actively trying to marry your mother.

    Sometimes, a little change of fate, is all the withered need to bloom at the first signs of Spring.

    Summary

    Odysseus offers Zeus and alternative to his crew’s lives: himself. Unfortunately for him, Zeus accepts with a specific interpretation. He will never see his family again, but if it means he will be remembered as a sacrificial lamb instead of a monster in the eyes of Penelope, then he can make peace with it all.

    Hera assumes that Zeus will get tired of his new “concubine” within the week. Odysseus proves differently. This, unfortunately, becomes a problem for everyone.

    tldr: Ody does the right thing but the long-term consequences of not accepting death are complicated.
