    Summary

    Bernard had never been a fan of altars.

    Even before he found himself flat on his back, wrists tied uncomfortably above his head with ropes that scratched like twine made from cat tongues, he had a thing about them. Too dramatic. Too blood-sacrifice-y. Too “You’re not getting out of this one, Dowd.”

    This one especially sucked.

    The chaos monsters—twenty of them, if he’d counted right before the chanting started—looked like something spat out by a D-list demon god with bad taste and a love for ooze. Horns, claws, teeth in weird places. Too many eyeballs, and not enough common sense.

    Bernard strained against the ropes as the lead freak—bigger, slimier, and apparently in charge—raised a jagged ceremonial knife above its head. The others screamed in some language Bernard had been tuning out for the past hour.

    Then the knife came down.

    Straight into his sternum.

    He braced for pain. He’d tried not to scream when it happened, maybe leave this world with some shred of dignity. But instead—

    Nothing.

    Or, what could've happened if Tim hadn't made it in time to save Bernard.

    Summary

    With Odysseus chained to Ogygia, where he’s forbidden to interfere, Poseidon takes time to ponder his vengeance against the foolish mortal.

    Odysseus’ actions are led by one main motivation; his family. What sort of woman could be worth all of the trouble? What could she possibly give that makes him so willing to endure a god’s grudge?

    Curious.

    Summary

    It was not as the Fates intended.

    There was to be a marriage bed, a son, and twenty years of waiting. But King Icarius denies Odysseus his daughter’s hand, and the thread begins to fray. Penelope of Sparta—clever, quiet, and promised to no man—is swept from her home on a tide of stolen love and war.

    Now a stranger in Troy, Penelope is caught between warring gods, mortal ambition, and a war never meant to be hers. As alliances crumble and empires burn, one woman’s defiance may alter the course of fate itself.

    Summary

    So okay, y'know all those fanfictions about Danny Phantom or Spiderman being adopted by the Batfamily? Well I was watching Invincible and thought "what if that but this" basically. I'm a show only Invincible consumer but I do have several friends advising me on plot points and character stuff for thing that haven't been animated yet, though do please correct me if I get something horribly wrong.

    TL;DR: Debbie Grayson needs some sort of comfort after Nolan fucks off to space and leaves her and Mark all alone, so Donald and Cecil try to set her up with their associate Bruce Wayne for a hookup. Well, a hookup turns into secret identities being revealed and families being blended, with lots of wAcKy HiJiNkS along the way.

    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.)
