    Summary

    It was, in sequence, shocking, repulsive, and unmistakably wrong on so many levels. Yet Gale couldn’t tear his eyes away from him. No one noticed; everyone else was staring too.

    ***

    John Egan is an erotic performer. Gale Cleven is a lawyer assigned to babysit important clients during their wild nights. Their story begins in a downtown club at midnight, bathed in an impossibly blue light.

    Summary

    It’s been three years since the wedding, and he’s run out of excuses not to visit. They’re expecting him today. Marge said as much in her last letter, the lovely slant of her cursive telling him she’d have supper waiting for him. The faintest whiff of her perfume clung to the paper, something soft and floral.

    Five o’clock on the dot. Italian, she promised. Your favorite.

    Summary

    “Marge takin’ good care of you, Buck?” he finally asks, lips barely moving.

    “Yeah she really is, John. She looks out for me.”

    John nods a little, stops when Gale tuts and rests a hand under his chin, featherlight restraint.

    “She said you asked her if I’m takin’ good care of her too.”

    “Yeah. Gotta make sure, you know?”

    Gale hums, a sort of breathy ‘uh-huh’ through barely-parted lips as he carefully cleans the rewetted blood, swipes so gentle they don’t hurt even when he’s working right up next to John’s throbbing nose.

    “You need someone to take care of you too, Bucky.”

    “No point really,” John argues, definitely slurring now as everything catches up to him at once, adrenaline draining away to leave him nothing more than drunk and exhausted. “Not much here to care about. ‘S all back there.”

    “That ain’t true.”

    --//--

    John Egan has survived hell and returned to America after the war to find some promises have been kept, but most have been hollow. The one bright spot in his disappointing return to 'normal life' is his next door neighbor Gale Cleven and Gale's wife Marge, both of whom somehow still find John to be worth knowing, even after everything.

    Summary

    The world is a whirl of blood and screams and misery, and then it is quiet. Telemachus stares at the blood-drenched man before him in awe. “Father?”

    “Daughter,” the man breathes, and Telemachus’s heart drops like a stone in his gut even as he smiles back. Right. Yes. Of course.

    Summary

    When his father returned, Telemachus expected silence.

    Not the comforting kind—no. The cold kind. The kind that hung in the air like judgment. The kind that crushed you beneath the weight of everything unspoken.

    So when Telemachus stood there, heart thundering in his chest, and Odysseus stepped forward—not as a warrior, but as a father—he didn’t know how to be.

    Summary

    Penelope tells Odysseus about an interesting ability naiads have, and offers to try it on him. The results are far more adorable than she could’ve predicted, given that apparently the only effect her venom has on him is to make him even more insufferably in love.
    She’s perfectly happy to be insufferably in love right back~

    Summary

    20 days after they departed from Troy, Odysseus and his men arrive in Ithaca. But just because they’ve made it home, it doesn’t mean they’re out of danger. After 10 years of war, Odysseus thinks running his kingdom should be easy. Or it would be, if he wasn’t harbouring the conspicuously alive son of Hector, trying to be a father to Telemachus, and assuring all of Penelope’s suitors that she is very much spoken for.

    Meanwhile, Eurylochus is decommissioning the army, Polites is a professional bestie, and the Gods don’t quite know what to do about *that* prophecy.

    On top of it all, a far more urgent danger arrives in Ithaca in the form of Neoptolemus, chasing rumours and the echoes of war.

    Summary

    Odysseus, finally safe in Ithaca, copes with the aftermath of his time on Ogygia.

     

    It’s been months, over half a year at the least, but he isn’t able to do the one thing that he dreamt about doing nonstop for over twenty years. Odysseus tears his eyes from his wife, staring up at the ceiling when frustrated tears prick at the corners of his eyes. He is infuriated with himself, his body and mind at war with one another.

    Summary

    Five years ago, the king of Ithaca made the choice to sacrifice himself for his crew. Over 500 men made it back, but Odysseus was not one of them, cursed instead to swim the seas.

    At first he could remember, even if he no longer could speak - his tongue removed as part of the punishment, but one incident with the wind bag later and he was alone for far far too long.

    But Ithaca will have it's king.

    And more importantly; Penelope will have her husband back. No matter how long it takes.

    Summary

    Telemachus finds the strength to face the suitors as a mysterious figure slaughters them from the shadows.
    --

    “Left the weapons unlocked. Stupid,” a different suitor taunts. He kicks Telemachus’ dagger far from his reach and Telemachus watches it skitter from his view in despair. “They’re ours for the taking.” he kneels down to Telemachus’ eye level. “Just like your mother.”

    Telemachus snarls and lunges for him but there are hands on his shoulders, holding him back and hoisting him up. “Don’t you dare–” A punch to his gut stops him. He heaves, body unable to hunch in on himself due to the suitors forcing him upright.

    “Come, brothers,” he hears a voice say. “Take a weapon, be sure to arm yourselves. There is still a chance we can win against this madman.” The man walks to Telemachus and gestures to the two suitors. They let him go but before Telemachus can stumble away, the back of his neck is grabbed in an unyielding grip. “If we kill his runt.”

    “No!”

    Summary

    Odysseus was finally home. His raft had finally touched the sand on the shores of Ithaca. But just as he's about to leave the water behind, he notices a group of men ambush a ship armed with weapons. It's really not his problem, right?

    Of course, he gets involved anyway. There's just a feeling in his gut that he'd regret it otherwise. Besides, he met this nice young man who he's sure would be great friends with his son.

    ***

    Telemachus honestly thought the old man that showed up and started killing the suitors was a god in a shoddy disguise. He reacted accordingly, doing everything he could to help the man and keep him happy. It's not until the old beggar walks Telemachus up to the palace that he realizes who this really is.

    Athena thinks it's hilarious of course.

    Summary

    “You spent twenty years trying to come home.” Penelope says. Her hand is now playing with his hair, and he is almost ashamed of how much he loves her gentleness. Almost. He has long thrown overboard any guilt about taking what he needs to survive. Still, he shakes sometimes under her touch. “You are here now - and yet, when I look at you, you seem to still be away.”
    There’s a false calmness in her voice. She is upset - not with him, but with herself. Understanding smacks his mind like a rough wave against a ship. He pulls away, so he can look at wife. He props his head up  on his arm, and waits until their eyes lock to speak.
    “I do not miss it, Penelope.” He says.

    A few months after their reunion, Odysseus and Penelope have a lazy morning together.

    Summary

    Gale fucked up.

    Whatever possessed him (his roommate) to participate in rush week was a powerful entity. No one ever convinced Gale to do something he didn’t want to do.

    Benny was terribly convincing though. Especially with his line about Greek life looking good on resumes and being a great networking opportunity.

    “You don’t have to wake me up with coffee every morning this week,” John whispered before something sharp gently dug into Gale’s chest.

    Opening his eyes and glancing down, Gale saw John propping his chin on his chest and peering up at him with sleep puffy blue eyes.

    “If I do, can we do this every morning?”
