Summary
Being a god’s favourite often comes with side effects, with migraines being one of the most common ones. So at first, Odysseus doesn’t think this headache is anything unusual.
Then nine months passes.
OR
I had a terrible idea, and. What’s that thing when you put too much effort into a joke and it doesn’t seem so much like a joke anymore?

DIABOLICAL. And hilarious and heart-warming too. Thanks for this cursed fic that's surprisingly beautiful in its writing.

Summary
"Do you even know why he named his boy Telemachus?" he demanded, his voice cracking, raw with grief, edged with fury. "Do you know why he chose that name?" His hands shook at his sides, his entire body trembling. "He named him so because it means ‘far from battle.’" His voice rose, raw and ragged. "for he wished his son to be far, far from this accursed war, from blood and bronze and death!"
Silence pressed heavy against the tent.
Diomedes took a staggering breath, his chest rising and falling as though each inhale was a battle in itself. "And now you would have him brought here?" he whispered. "To war? To these accursed shores?"
(or, Odysseus dies during the war. With a prophecy that claims that only the mind of Laertiades will cause the fall of Troy, Ten year old Prince Telemachus is brought to the shores of Troy.)

Heart & Mind get into a fight. One comes to the other, and they eventually apologize and make up. Tears are shed, and vulnerability is shown. BONUS: Soul spies in them like the little snake he is, but keeps it to himself.
