Summary
Polites never thought he'd be the one left behind.
When the Cyclops strikes him, his survival depends on a choice he can't understand - a choice Odysseus makes without looking back. Abandoned, broken, and betrayed, Poli finds himself in the hands of a god who promises guidance... but at a cost he never imagined.
As Poseidon teaches him the ruthless truths the world refuses to show, Polites must decide whether to cling to the kindness that defines him or wield it as a weapon against the world that left him behind. Loyalty, betrayal, and the fine line between mercy and survival collide in a journey where the lessons of the sea are far darker than the storms themselves.
"Pain You Sow is Pain You Reap" follows Polites as he faces betrayal, survival, and the ruthless lessons of the gods, discovering that kindness can be a weakness and power comes at a price.So, reader, are you ready to learn what the gods won't teach you?

The Man of The House - an EPIC: The Musical fanfic by Panda_Toes

Summary
Odysseus was a problem from the moment he was born.
No nurse could handle him. No servant could control him. And no amount of punishment could stop the Prince of Ithaca from climbing roofs, spinning lies, and causing absolute chaos wherever he went. Clever beyond his years and far too curious for his own good, Odysseus grows up believing every problem has a solution if you’re smart enough to find it.
But childhood does not last forever.
As Ithaca’s reckless young prince grows older, the world around him begins to change. Politics creep into palace halls. The gods start paying attention. Friendships become loyalties, loyalties become burdens, and every lesson pulls Odysseus further away from the carefree boy he used to be.
Because Greece is inching toward war.
And by the time Helen of Sparta disappears, Odysseus will have to decide exactly what kind of man he wants to become before the world decides for him.
"The Man of The House" follows Odysseus from his disastrous childhood to the beginning of the Trojan War, exploring the people, choices, and losses that shape the boy behind the legend.

Summary
~~~
“Go higher.”
Circe flew higher until the entire island stretched beneath them.
Odysseus stared in awe.
The wind threaded through his fingers, and for the first time since Polites’ death, the emptiness in his chest seemed to lift.
He laughed.
He felt happy.
But as the sun dipped beneath the horizon, a quiet truth settled in his chest.
This was borrowed joy.
Don’t get used to this.
Because happiness had teeth.
~~~
After losing Polites, Odysseus has forgotten how to simply be happy.
But when Circe forces him to confront his fear of heights, he discovers a view—and a moment of peace—that makes the world feel almost normal again.
For a little while, Odysseus can laugh.
But happiness, he learns, can be just as frightening as grief.

Perfect: The Monster POV by Panda_Toes

Summary
~~~
The Monster was born from a single promise.
Anything, Odysseus had said. Anything to get home.
Ten years later, Odysseus is almost gone, and the Monster has finally gotten what he wanted: a body, a name, and a life of his own.
His first act of freedom is murder. His second is finding a child.
Eight years old. Filthy. Underfed. And fascinated by the blood on the Monster’s hands.
Most children would have screamed.
This one asks to be taught.
The Monster sees an opportunity. A student. A son.
He’ll teach the boy how to wield a blade, find a person’s weakness, and turn fear into power.
He’ll make a monster.
That was the plan.
But somewhere between lessons, arguments, scraped knees, and stolen smiles, the Monster begins to care.
The boy becomes more than a student. More than a project.
He becomes his son.
And the Monster doesn’t realize that loving him is the most dangerous thing he could have done.

Summary
~~~
Odysseus has everything he could ever want.
A quiet life on Aeaea. A daughter who calls him Dad. A family who helped him leave his addiction behind seven years ago.
Whatever came before… doesn’t matter anymore.
At least, that’s what he tells himself.
When a storm washes a strange boy onto Circe’s shores, Odysseus expects nothing more than another shipwrecked traveler. Instead, the boy looks at him with tear-filled eyes and utters a single word that shatters the life he’s built.
“Father?”
Telemachus crossed the sea, thinking he found the King of Ithaca.
Instead, he found a man who doesn’t remember Ithaca… doesn’t remember Penelope… doesn’t remember him.
As forgotten memories begin clawing at the edges of Odysseus’ mind and old gods refuse to leave the past buried, he’ll have to answer one impossible question:
If you can’t remember the people you once loved…
Are they still your family?

Summary
Many years into the Trojan War, Penelope continues her prayers for Odysseus's safety, and for his return home. She admits amongst all of these, that if it is still to be years before his return, she would take a single night with him over nothing at all, as long as he still eventually returns.
Goddess Hera listens, and grants her this one night with her husband.

Summary
Sing, oh Muses, of the age-old story of wrathful Achilles and his lover, Patroclus. Sing of their love, their battles, their woes and troubles. Sing of them, lest their deeds be forgotten by the arrival of a new age.
Or;
Patroclus and Achilles towards the end of the Trojan war, told by me! ~ :)
Credits to Homer for the OG story, obviously.

Summary
The halls of Ithaca's palace were steeped in shadow, lit only by scattered torches flickering against worn limestone walls. The scent of salt and lavender hung in the air—sea breeze mixing with herbs burnt in offering to the gods. Somewhere deep in the stone belly of the palace, Penelope laboured, her cries muffled by thick wooden doors and the whispers of anxious servants.
And Odysseus? Odysseus was unraveling.
He paced the length of the great hall with the energy of a cornered wolf, his bronze-clad sandals slapping sharply against the flagstones. Each lap was punctuated by muttered prayers: to Athena for wisdom, to Artemis for safe passage through womanly trials, to Hera for strength, to Hades—gods forbid—that he might be bargained with.
Or, when Odysseus is anxious for the birth of his child, it's up to Polites to calm him down. After all, if he's going to be "uncle Polites", the first task is grounding Ody.

Summary
After the Trojan War, Polites had found himself slowly falling inlove with his childhood best friend- Odysseus.
The two had always been close, the subtle contrast of their personalitys seemed to always click- with Polites's enthusiasm and Ody's leadership.
Perhaps it was the long days at sea that had caused Polites's feelings to evolve, or maybe they had always been there? -

Summary
Odysseus was finally back on Ithaca. After ten years of war, and ten years of fighting to get home, he was finally back. The kingdom celebrated greatly, with wine and feasts like a god themselves had come and blessed them. In a way, the gods technically had blessed them by bringing the king back home safely.
Barely six moons into his return, two into the celebration that would last gods knew how long, the queen and king came with news that changed Telemachus' life forever.
They were expecting another child.Telemachus' baby brother AU (not my original idea!)
