    Summary

    And then the shade's arms came down, and its face wasn’t smiling anymore. It wasn’t bloody. Odysseus watched, breathless, as Polites looked up at him with bright, living eyes, and breathed.

    “Captain?” He whispered, out loud, right there, alive, and Odysseus—

    Odysseus turned and ran.

     

    Or, even in the Underworld there are second chances - at the right price. And Odysseus finds more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    The last thing Odysseus saw as he finished the slaughtering of the suitors was a blinding flash of blue.

    When he opened his eyes again, he was holding a torch that revealed wooden walls around him and the rest of the Achaean army.

    Great. He was back here again.

    Well, if the fates were going to fuck up his life, he was going to fuck around and find out.

     

    Or: Odysseus gets sent back in time to relive the events of his odyssey, and he'll be damned if he doesn't use his experience to change the course of his journey. But he is also so, so done.

    On hiatus until June or July so I could study for finals

    Summary

    Polites had died - crushed by the Cyclops’ club.

    But that was not the end of him. Instead, it was the beginning of his long journey home.

    Without knowing, he follows a certain king's trail, runs into the same threats and deals with them differently until he finally catches up.

    This is a story about kindness and ruthlessness. About monsters and men.
