Summary
~ She turned to look at him again. They stood before each other and spat out venom, but no one would win. Only a battlefield of a boy’s fury and a goddess’s quiet regret.
“Your heart is cold. You fight and whisper wisdom to be known, like the rest of them.”
Odysseus once assumed she was untouchable. An immortal strength wrapped in bronze and wisdom. But no. She was human in her pain, and she had borne it alone.
And suddenly, all his cleverness—all his prized wit—was useless. What trick, what scheme, what plan could undo this kind of agony?
~(OR!!! After Odysseus and Athena's messy splitting in "My Goodbye", Athena finds herself spending each day trying to repay her debt to Odysseus without him even knowing it.)
(Basically an Athena-centric Fanfic based during and after "My Goodbye" with a lot of angst. Major focus on Athena, i'm terrible at summarising.)

backstage olympian shenanigans (chatfic) by incrackdescent (incandescent_galaxy)
Fandoms: Ancient Greek Religion & Lore

Summary
In the days of Ancient Greece, divine intervention was an everyday factor of life, but what are humans without change? As times passed and values shifted, so did beliefs: and soon the gods of Olympus began to lose mortal faith. Thus gradually slipped their control over the happenings of the world, and any sort of interference ended up problematic or redundant, causing either widespread chaos, or failing to achieve any intended effects.
Over the course of medieval, Renaissance, and all following eras' religious changes, advancements of science, and sociopolitical/cultural shifts, as well as increasing international interaction, the gods began to distance themselves from the mortal realm. Finally, after centuries of turmoil and accidental world wars, they finally agreed on one thing: they must withdraw entirely.
But now it's the 21st century, and the gods are bored. They've been holed up in Olympus for decades, centuries even, and they want to be able to mess around again - so why not follow them in their misadventures and their divinely fucked-up group chats, whether they're messing around down in the mortal realm or up in the heavens?

Summary
Something seemed to come to Apollo’s head. “Athena, what’s the last thing you remember?”
She actually thought about that. “I actually don’t remember much? My brain feels scrambled. I think I remember training with Pallas a few days ago. You know? The mortal? She pushed me into a lake. I made a joke that not everyone were the granddaughters of Poseidon, and Triton asked why we were soaked, and-“
“..That’s enough, thank you.” Apollo interrupted her in a quieter voice than before. Athena didn’t think much of it.
-
Athena is lucky she made it out of the games alive (well, not whatever the closest thing death was to gods). Maybe she could’ve been just a smidgen more lucky, though. Just enough so that the lightning strike had charred her brain a little to the left, and hadn’t made her memory (and mental age) collapse in on itself.
News flash, gods aren’t particularly the best at babysitting.

Summary
Athena scoops up a handful of sand, letting it slide through her fingers in a crude imitation of an hourglass. She’s been sitting on the beach — or what passes for a beach on craggy Ithaca — for the past hour, watching the waves crash against the rocks. The tide’s coming in. If she doesn’t move soon, the sea will catch her, will wash over her and drag her out into deeper, colder waters. She wouldn’t mind. She could just float for a while. Like a jellyfish, drifting and aimless, rocked to and fro by the waves. Remarkable animals, jellyfish. They have survived for eons without a brain.
It’s a comforting thought, and a terrifying one.
***
Six weeks on from God Games, Athena is forced to contend with the fact that getting back to normal will take longer than she anticipated.

Summary
Zeus did not strike Athena down in a fit of rage. No. He had been king for eons - he did not act with such wanton disregard. He wanted her to know the full cost of defiance. He would not be overthrown. He would have obedience.
That is why he made sure every god knew that if any of them attempted to help her, he would reinjure Athena and grant the offender the same punishment.
That is why he waited for Athena to wake before telling her, in no uncertain terms, that if she ever told any mortal of the events that transpired that night, he would strike them down without mercy.Athena quickly realizes what this meant: she would put her entire family at risk by being near them. And if she attempted to make a much-needed apology to Odyssues, he would surely pry the truth out of her, and his death may as well have been at her hands. (She cannot kill another friend.)

Summary
Metis had lived in darkness until the birth of Athena, until her daughter brought with her the first drop of light and hope. It had only seemed fair that Athena should take all the light with her when she left.
After that, Metis had never expected to see Athena again, not even in her sleep for she no longer dreamed — until a lightning bolt illuminated the eternal night she had been forced into, bringing with it a vision of her daughter.
OR
Metis watches her daughter grow and suffer through Zeus' eyes over the years without ever being able to help her.
