    Summary

    Two first times, two perspectives. One of them is nervous, the other is terrified.

    The first chapter is their very first time. Ancient times didn't consider the woman's pleasure a priority. Penelope had been scared to death about sex before her wedding night and there is no going back anymore. She is in love with her new husband, but is Odysseus really different from the men she heard about?

    The second chapter is the first time after twenty years spent apart. Odysseus has been through hell and back and although he returned home, part of his mind is still stuck in the past. Particulary Calypso has left her marks on him, and after seven years of coersion and rape Odysseus struggles with intimacy.

    Summary

    You hated his pompous guts before you even knew his name, what you did know was that the stupid chessboard hair colored freak was actual competition for you when it came to brewing potions. Somewhere along the way, you had to admit you did respect the asshole even if you'd never tell him, and when you both ended up working at the same internship in your final school year, you realized you didn't hate him. That still didn't stop you from calling him an idiot when he deserved it, but you were friends at least. Until his first fashion show when the two of you were twenty-two when you ended up in a broom closet with him threatening to burn your suit. At least he was willing to let you take it off first.

    Summary

    Roxas has been able to see ghosts for as long as he can remember. There was once a time when they were his friends even, but now. Now the sight of them glowing, beautiful and haunting, leaves him panicked and his mind breaking like the ocean waves that break onto the beach.

    He’s spent his life the weird kid who stared at the corner of the room or talked to himself when he thought no one was looking. But that’s behind him now. He’s moved to the coast to be near his brother, Sora. Away from all that has haunted him, looking for that fresh start that he’s been needing for so long-

    Only to find himself rooming with a ghost in his new apartment.

    It’ll take some time, but he’ll be fine.

    Eventually.

    -or- Roxas' inner growth starts the moment he meets a dearly departed soul. There's love, there's dreams, there's power, especially in growth. And one day, he'll have to wield that power to overcome the obstacles faced before him. Ready or not.

    *Now with aaammmazzzing art in chapter 12 ^^*

    Summary

    “I’ll teach you all the things you ought to know. I’ll build you into a figure no one can call pathetic. And, more than that,” her lips turned up into an almost sinister grin, “I’ll introduce you to the love you’ve never had.”

    “Like…” Antinous squinted at her. “Like a matron goddess?”

    In a world filled with people all assigned a perfect match, Antinous is an anomaly. He has no soulmate, and no future. Then he comes face to face with the love goddess Aphrodite, and everything changes.

    He’s given the opportunity to court the queen of Ithaca herself. More than that, his forsaken soulmate is supposed to be in these castle walls. And, if he’s lucky, he can get that high-and-mighty prince out of his way once and for all.
