    It was, after all, Odysseus' fault that they were at Ikea. He just didn't realize it would be this much of an undertaking to find his wife.

    Summary

    Her large eyes were a bright shade of blue and her long black hair was loose, falling gracefully past her shoulders. She couldn’t have been older than he was. 

     

    Odysseus watched silently as the girl grabbed one of the olives in her basket. She placed it in his hand, and he stared at it. He looked back up at her, brows furrowed in confusion. 

     

    “Penelope!” A woman’s voice screamed in the distance. The girl turned her head towards the sound. 

     

    So that’s her name, Odysseus thought. 

     

    The girl—Penelope—started walking towards the voice. Odysseus watched quietly as she left. 


    Odysseus’ childhood and life before Troy.

    Summary

    Inspired by Frayed Feathers - A Winged Odysseus AU by FictionForLife_NZ

    Penelope saw a glint form in Anticlea’s eyes.

    “There’s also our oldest son.” At her words, Laertes smiled, something Penelope could see was forced.

    “You are lucky to have been blessed by the gods with a son, Laertes. If he's anything like his father, he will be a fine king,” Icarius replied, seemingly unphased at the tension between the couple. “I would very much like to acquaint myself with your family, if possible.”

    “Unfortunately, for all the god’s blessings, our son has been stricken with health issues since childhood. It is unlikely he will be able to take the throne or greet you, great king,” Laertes said, and Penelope could feel him trying to place a lid back onto this topic.

    Or, trying to cover up a 'curse' sent by the gods, the royal family of Ithaca attempts to keep the fact that their prince has wings behind closed doors. Fate has decided that Penelope and Odysseus will meet regardless.

    Summary

    or oneshot stories that are mostly an excuse to write odysseus internally (and externally tbh) monologuing about how much he loves his son and his wife. it’s several love letters in a trench coat.

    Summary

    " Are you sure you're fine with this? " Penelope asks for the umpteenth time, still rubbing olive oil on the phallus.

    Odysseus looks at her like she's the most gorgeous woman in the world, and indeed she is in the candlelight that bathes over her nude body. He's still clothed, though he obviously sports an erection that still flusters her.

    " Yes, of course. "

    Odysseus is finally spoiled after a long ride home.

    Summary

    Penelope has always been labeled as the "good wife", and her marriage as an ideal marriage with a "like-minded" husband.

    But she was also a daughter in Sparta, where women were trained physically just like the men. She was a daughter of a Naiad, and so was half-divine. She ruled Ithaca without male help for 20 years - an island in an area known for its piracy. She had mean skills and the backing of the divine. She was every bit the hero that her husband was...and her story began before she even met him.

    WARNING: The character of Odysseus is morally gray. As Homer says, he was "complicated." Kings of the time murdered, raped, pillaged (Need more livestock? Go steal some!), and were a law unto themselves. I am trying to walk a thin line between not rewriting history and also writing for a contemporary audience. There is reference to rape in Chapter 15. It is not explicit. Violence is not graphic, but is part of this story.

    Summary

    Penelope does not get the boy she fell in love with back, but her husband still returns to her. Even if not safe and soundly, he’s still back in her arms and that’s more than enough.

    Or

    How does a woman stay in love with a man who she has not seen in two decades? How did she fall in love with him in the first place? And how will she fall in love with him again? An introspection on Penelope of Sparta, Penelope of Ithaca and Penelope, wife of Odysseus.

    [Warning: This fic covers themes of period-typical misogyny: less than consensual marriages, the demeaning of women etc. While not explicit, please be warned!]

    Summary

    “Mother, what happens if Father doesn’t come back?”

    He was still young, unwilling to say dead, but Penelope knew what he was asking.

    She knelt down to be eye-level with her young son. “Your father will come home, Telemachus,” she said clearly. “I’m sure of it.”

    That was something she and her husband shared, even before they met. They looked you in the eye when they were lying, and turned away when speaking truth.

    Summary

    Oneshot stories that portray the relationship between Telemachus and his family. Takes place in a more modern setting though they are still royalty.

    Chapter 1: Meeting
    /Telemachus and Odysseus meet.. but Telemachus sleeps in too late. Fluff!
    "“Tele, baby,” the voice belongs to his mother.
    Telemachus mumbles, “G’mornin’, mama.”
    “Get up, honey. There’s a surprise for you. It arrived earlier than expected.”
    …arrived earlier than expected? What was arriving?"

    Chapter 2: A Scare

    /Telemachus gets stalked at a peace gathering between kingdoms.

    "High on the adrenaline, he continues running to the main room where he knows his parents are.
    But he isn’t lucky enough.
    His arm is grabbed and he’s forcefully pulled back.
    Panicked, Telemachus yells "Papa!" in hopes that his father is able to hear him."

    Chapter 3 and 4: Mistreatment
    /Tele is trapped in a closet for a whole day while his parents are away.
    “Papa, I swear. I was just asleep. I’m okay,”
    “You’ve got bruises,” his father whispers.

    Summary

    Athena, completely unaware of the domino effect she was about to create, suggested to one of her dear followers, Penelope of Sparta, that with her cousin Helen evaluating her suitors she ought to get out more and learn to interact with people for when she marries and becomes a queen herself one day.

    Little did either of them know, she wouldn’t need as grand of an affair to find her future husband. The path to actually becoming engaged, however, is a longer journey.

    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!”

    --
