    Summary

    Sing, o muse, of the guile of Athena, bright-eyed, triple-born, winner of the game,
    sing of the wrath of Zeus, warlike, king of the Gods, of the flashing bolt, keeper of oaths,
    and sing of Odysseus, shifty, man of many ways and of many sorrows; keeper of bright-eyed Athena.
    -
    -
    -
    Athena played Zeus' game and won. But the king of the Gods doesn't take kindly to losing. While it's true that Goddesses can't die, that doesn't mean they can't suffer. And Zeus has a far more creative punishment in mind than simple lightning bolts.

    On Ogygia, Odysseus has just been told that he is free to leave. But in this version of the story, Hermes delivers more than a message to the king of Ithaca - he delivers a woman. A mortal woman, bound to Odysseus, forced to join him in his desparate quest to return home.

     

    (Or: after the events of 'God Games', Zeus strips Athena of her immortality, and sticks her with that mortal she's apparently become so attached to.)

    Summary

    Athena's been hurt, much more thoroughly than she realized was possible. For the first time in her immortal life, she is fighting against her own body and mind, and she doesn't know how to win.

    Odysseus is home. After two more weeks on sea, a fight with 108 suitors and reunited with his family, he’s quietly accepted that even a desperate prayer won’t bring his former mentor to come back. Little does he know, for two weeks, it’s all Athena’s been trying to do.

    Or, what if after God Games, Athena doesn’t wake up in the infirmary? What if it’s up to a few mortals to take care of the goddess that just collapsed in their palace, looking like she should very much be dead?

    Poseidon is not happy with this so, naturally, he takes a whole year to plan his revenge.

    -2800 years later-

    Penelope's life has always felt like it was missing something. And now this guy who claims to be Odysseus of Ithaca, the guy who the term 'Odyssey' was named after 2800 years ago shows up in her life.

    This is (sorta) a time travel AU. This is NOT a time travel fix-it AU.
    Time travel causes most of the problems here.

    Summary

    A pair of mother of pearl earrings sets Anne off on a rather dotty quest to get her ears pierced. Diana offers support and skepticism in equal measure, Marilla tsk-tsks, Matthew awkwardly says "well now" a lot, and Gilbert Blythe absolutely, completely, without a doubt hasn't the slightest bit of charm whatsoever. Really.

    Summary

    "Make sure his past is never known (we'll make him know)."

    Prince "Nax" has never seen the sun in an Ithaca cursed with an eternal storm. His true heritage is Odysseus's best kept secret, and when the truth reveals itself, blood is called for.
    Balance must be restored for the Trojan war to truly end.
    Someone's son must die.

    Stealing a ship and narrowly avoiding the Greeks who now have put a target on his back, Nax sets out to change his destiny--and Telemachus comes along to make sure his little brother doesn't die in the process.

    /or/
    Odysseus saved Astyanax and attempts to raise him "as his own" and make sure "his past is never known". Astyanax now a teenager, the gods are going to make good on their promise to make sure he knows his past---one way or another.
