Who Shot the Bird Boy and Sawed Off Both His Wings? by OakTheSpringWing

Summary
“Hermes pried his eyes away from his mirrored reflection. It was expected, he reasoned, that an individual be imperfect during war. He had seen first hand how exhausted Odysseus had looked on Aeaea. How his ribs showed, how his eyes were sunken, how his hair was unkept.
But Hermes was not a mortal. He should not look like one.“
[OR]
Hermes struggles to grasp the fact that the war has made him appear physically imperfect and that the passage of Time effects gods as well.

Summary
Agamemnon had heard the rumors. The kind of whispers that slithered through the camp like a creeping sickness, low and urgent, only spoken when they thought no one important was listening.
They had started long before the war, when Palamedes first dragged Odysseus from Ithaca, but here—amid the restless soldiers, the sleepless nights filled with quiet mutterings and nervous glances—they had festered into something darker, something more tangible, lurking at the edges of the men’s minds like a half-forgotten nightmare.
They said Odysseus’s eyes were not like other men's. It wasn’t just the sharpness, the cold gleam they possessed when his mind turned inward—it was something deeper, something that felt wrong, unnatural.
[OR]
Agamemnon's reaction to Quick Thought.

Summary
In their argument, all those years ago, Odysseus had cursed Athena out, screamed at her behind his angry tears. He had insisted that she was forever alone. And, while he was not incorrect, he was not right either.
And only after reuniting with his former mentor, his former friend, would he learn this truth.

Summary
“The shapeless, nameless mass pushed past the gates of Elysium. It trudged across the ashen meadows of Asphodel. The entire underworld was alight with commotion, hordes of shades congregated together like a herd of sheep, being led by their shepherd to a land with richer grass and a creek with a fresher current.
“Life had arrived to their terrible abode, and the shade, held together by feelings, final memories, and pure bloodlust, could not help but want to drown that life so that it would join the rest of the miserable dead.”
[OR]
A lion-hearted shade reunites with the man of pain in one of his darkest moments.

Storge is a type of love that depicts the way that a parent feels for their child. This type of love can also be applied to sibling bonds and grandparents to their grandchildren.

Time Can Take A Heavy Toll by OakTheSpringWing

Summary
7 years trapped on a too-perfect island can cause any man's mind to deteriorate. Odysseus was no exception. After all, all he heard were screams of the damned. And there was only one way to silence them.
Athena knew the state she would likely find her dear Warrior in. Gossip spread fast in Olympus. Soon every Theos, major or minor, knew how the God King forced Odysseus to choose and how he chose himself. She knew the man would be haunted. 600 hundred men had died under his command. But seeing it was something else entirely.
TLDR: In which Odysseus jumps. DW. You did not misread that Hurt/Comfort tag. DW.
