Summary
“You said ‘was’ when talking about him just now,” Robert stated, just to confirm it. “You don’t know where he is?”
“He didn’t come home the night you cut him,” Malevola huffed. “He won’t answer his phone, if he even has the fucking thing on him still, and I haven’t found him in any of his regular moping or drug spots. So yes, I don’t wanna do shit for you or your fuckass company until he’s back in our fucking apartment where I can make sure he doesn’t kill himself from an overdose!”
Shit. . .

In which Sonar gets cut and never makes it to the Red Ring, Malevola is a lot more resistant to her friend's disappearance and Robert gets left on the side of the freeway by a shitty uber driver. -

Summary
“So you do not have a family.”
It was a statement, not a question, but he still nodded.
“You have no name to align with your own.”
“The others at the palace had taken to referring to me as ‘The Son of Sisyphus’. I do not wish to be called that.”
He sounded pitiful, and yet there was still not any sign of that cursed emotion in her eyes. Instead there was something sharp and hair-raising about the way her pupils seemed to grow and then shrink the longer she looked at him.
“You are alone.”
“I am alone. . .” he whispered, knowing she heard him. “I do not wish to be forever.”
At the age of twelve Odysseus is ripped from his home and stripped of his titles after narrowly avoiding execution by his own father's hands. Unable to find stability, his wanderings lead him to Sparta. There he meets Menelaus and, by the other prince's encouragement, agrees to compete for Helen’s hand for the sake of food and shelter. Unsure of what comes next, Odysseus only knows one thing: his struggles are far from over. . .
Inspired by the non-Homeric myth of Odysseus’s father being Sisyphus rather than Laertedes, and my own love for a certain song that introduced me to EPIC.

Summary
'What If' scenarios for the Frayed Feathers AU. I would highly recommend reading "I'll Be Home With Frayed Feathers" first if you haven't already, otherwise you may be a bit confused. Other than that I hope you are willing to give these silly little scenarios a chance!
Now Including:
1. Poseidon discovering Odysseus's wings early and making the wrong conclusions
2. Zeus giving the choice to somebody else and the aftermath of said choice
3. A look at how poorly things could have gone for Odysseus as a child when his wings first grew
4. A very long, dramatic and fluffy alternate version of how Odysseus and Penelope met and fell in love
5. A less than ideal reunion between Odysseus and Hermes on Calypso's island
6. Hermes trying, and failing, to keep Odysseus a secret from the other godsSeries

Summary
There were rumors, quickly squashed by the island kingdom, that the Prince of Ithaca had grown wings on his feet when he was a boy. There were rumors that he had wings elsewhere too; on his back and behind his ears. They were squashed even quicker. Anyone who could get a look at the prince could see that his body was not adorned in feathers of any kind.
None of them knew, and Ithaca’s royal family planned to keep it that way. Fearing that this problem of unknown origin (curse or yet another divine being’s fling with a mortal) would be seen as an insult to the gods and bring down their wrath. Odysseus has grown used to having to cut down or hide the extra appendages, but the struggle only grew when he was forced into the Trojan War.
Now, with the war at its end and his fleet ready to return home, he only has one thing on his mind; getting home to his wife and son.
OR
An alternate universe where Hermes's relation to one particular Greek hero becomes a bit more prominent, and he suddenly has a much better reason to help Odysseus on his journey home.

Summary
*THIS IS A SEQUEL TO 'MASTERS OF MAYHEM'*
Looking back at it now, the whole other-dimension secret cult tournament was probably one his favourite adventures since becoming the Monkie Kid. Sure it had been another potential world-ending and city-destroying threat, but it had been in another dimension and he hadn’t been the cause of the problem for once! And they’d come out of it with a whole group of new friends too and a way to visit them!
Everything was fine. His life was back to the way it was meant to be. He had his fun battles against basic villains and then spent time doing everyday human boy things. Yup! It was all perfectly fine!
After the fiasco with Chen's Tournament of Elements MK and his friends have returned to their own world and are back to a PERFECTLY NORMAL life as the Monkie Kid crew. Now with interdimensional friends!
Oh wait. . . Why is that scroll dripping with ink?
