or: I found out that there were only a few soulmate AUs in the epic tag and had to do something about it.

Summary
In the nineth year of the Trojan War, Odysseus stumbles upon a little boy in the forests of Troy. With Achilles refusing to fight and the Achaeans at a distinct disadvantage, he doesn't have the time or energy to deal with bringing a Trojan child back to camp and the uproar that will likely follow it.
It really is too bad that Odysseus is nothing if not a victim to his fate-- and to the tear-filled eyes of a boy not much younger than his son.
or: my take on an astyanax lives au with inspiration taken from the events of 'the horse and the infant' and the iliad (though, you don't need to have read it to understand what's happening).

Summary
'What If' scenarios for the Frayed Feathers AU. I would highly recommend reading "I'll Be Home With Frayed Feathers" first if you haven't already, otherwise you may be a bit confused. Other than that I hope you are willing to give these silly little scenarios a chance!
Now Including:
1. Poseidon discovering Odysseus's wings early and making the wrong conclusions
2. Zeus giving the choice to somebody else and the aftermath of said choice
3. A look at how poorly things could have gone for Odysseus as a child when his wings first grew
4. A very long, dramatic and fluffy alternate version of how Odysseus and Penelope met and fell in love
5. A less than ideal reunion between Odysseus and Hermes on Calypso's island
6. Hermes trying, and failing, to keep Odysseus a secret from the other godsSeries

Summary
Odysseus thinks of Iris often. Too often. More often than he thinks of Penelope. His wife, loyal and cunning and brave. His wife, whose face he can barely remember and whose voice is just a whisper in his ears.
His wife, who had not marched out onto the battlefield with him at Troy. His wife, who had not gotten on her hands and knees and begged Poseidon for mercy, or for Circe to show kindness, or for Zeus to take her instead.
No, Odysseus rarely thinks of Penelope these days. It is always Iris.

Summary
Antinous is the name of the boldest suitor. Years, even months ago, Poseidon would have loved to have him torment Odysseus in the cruelest ways—ones no god can conceive, but that humans have a penchant for, the sadistic, unruly creatures.
When the crown wonders where the prince is, only the ocean and I will know!
Fuck, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
No.

Summary
It is Telemachus who asks the question no one else has dared to.
“Will my father really return?” He asks her, leaning against her knee from where he sat on the floor, his wide brown eyes looking at her with a sort of solemn curiosity. Her hands still in the shuttle, the threads that danced with her fingers falling still on her loom. She lowered the shuttle and placed it on her lap, ready to reply with the answer that she had given him time and time again — of course.
But the words do not come, and for a moment she is frozen, staring mindlessly at her son, who looked so much like the father he had never met.
(Instead of Telemachus going on a journey to find out what happened to Odysseus, it is Penelope. And she does it much earlier, too).

Summary
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.
Hermes was no stranger to Storge. He had been on the receiving end far too many times than he could count. Had been the one giving it too many times than he could count. Family was everything for the messenger god. That did not exclude the greatest taction in of all of Greece.

Summary
Odysseus looks at the map.
He looks out the window.
He looks at the map again.
“This,” he says at length, “cannot be the way.”
He risks a glance at Athena, who is white-knuckling the steering wheel, unblinking eyes fixed on the road ahead. It takes a brave man to tell the goddess of wisdom she’s wrong. It takes a braver man still — or perhaps just a foolish one — to do so from the passenger seat while she’s driving.

Summary
There were rumors, quickly squashed by the island kingdom, that the Prince of Ithaca had grown wings on his feet when he was a boy. There were rumors that he had wings elsewhere too; on his back and behind his ears. They were squashed even quicker. Anyone who could get a look at the prince could see that his body was not adorned in feathers of any kind.
None of them knew, and Ithaca’s royal family planned to keep it that way. Fearing that this problem of unknown origin (curse or yet another divine being’s fling with a mortal) would be seen as an insult to the gods and bring down their wrath. Odysseus has grown used to having to cut down or hide the extra appendages, but the struggle only grew when he was forced into the Trojan War.
Now, with the war at its end and his fleet ready to return home, he only has one thing on his mind; getting home to his wife and son.
OR
An alternate universe where Hermes's relation to one particular Greek hero becomes a bit more prominent, and he suddenly has a much better reason to help Odysseus on his journey home.

Summary
She turns around, every instinct from her spartan upbringing stopping her from flinching when she sees Zeus standing in front of her bedroom door. But her brain catches on to his words.
She levels her coldest glare at him, absolutely uncaring that he was a god-king of gods. It didn’t matter, not if Odysseus was dead.
“What. do. You. mean. He’s not coming back.” Every word is enunciated so well that not even a baby could misunderstand. Every word dares him to strike her down.
~~~
Penelope drags Odysseus kicking and screaming back to the overworld.
Polities live's.
there needed to be more fics like this so I wrote one.
