    Summary

    “I think…,” Jason swallowed the lump in his throat. He hated the way his voice warbled, “I think I’m getting sick,” he said.

    “Like…as in you need to go to the doctor? Or the In and Out is making you queasy? Because it was kind of greasy-”

    “No,” he said, though the In and Out was turning in his stomach a little now, “Sick like mom.”

    Jason is struggling at boarding school when his sister pays him a visit.

    Summary

    Odysseus returns to Ithaca, only to find himself trapped in his mind. The weight of unspoken truths, guilt, and lingering trauma stifles him, and though reunited with his wife and son, he cannot escape the internal turmoil that keeps him distant.

    Beside him, Penelope watches – quietly, with the ache of someone who has waited, endured, and now sees the man she loves begin to unravel before her.

     

    A sequel to Beneath her Shore.

    Summary

    Penelope’s face looms into the mirror beside his. She stretches to rest her chin on his shoulder, and wraps her arms around him. Their eyes meet in the mirror. “How long have I prayed for this night,” she says softly, and squeezes her arms around his bare waist. “To have you in my arms. Odysseus.”

    “I took so long. Penelope, I–” He doesn’t have the words. There are not enough, and nothing strong enough, and– and his tongue is tied in ribbons, as tattered as the rest of him.

    “Hush, love.”

    Summary

    There is no nervous giggling and general shyness between them; he knows her and she him, even twenty years apart. But his mind is so whipped into a frenzy right now that it may as well be those days all over again.

    In some way, he guesses, it sort of is.


    The first night back, they sleep. The morning, after, however...

    Summary

    During the long night they’re gifted with after Odysseus’ arrival home, they swear off swapping tragedies for just this night and instead spend their time reacquainting themselves with each others bodies, taking stock of every change and development, and caring for one another.
