Summary
Morpheus, the God of Dreams, takes pity on the King and Queen of Ithaca. Odysseus’s return is many years away, yet his and Penelope’s minds find each other in sleep. It’s both a blessing and a curse, and sometimes all that keeps them going.
Queen Penelope stepped into the dream as easily as crossing a threshold, and with her came the sun, as if Helios's carriage rode atop her billowing black hair. The carnage vanished in her presence, the ground no longer a battlefield but a sloping grassy hill dotted with olive trees. Her bright blue eyes almost glowed, searching the hillside with clear intent.
The King of Ithaca stood, gazing at her as if she were a vision of Aphrodite herself. The blood streaking his face and staining his hands evaporated in the wake of her sunlight, the dead bundle in his arms vanishing with it.
Morpheus stared as well, unable to believe that she stood before them. It was no shaped dream becoming a nightmare, no conjuration of the King’s mind to protect himself. It was her, slipping into his dream as if it were a room in their home. Answering her husband’s desperate cries.

Summary
Odysseus, Prince and Knight of Ithaca, knows he will not be chosen as Princess Helen's husband and protector, no matter how well he performs in the tournament for her hand. He came to gather information and forge allies, but most of all to prove what he — and Ithaca — were capable of. It was the path laid out before him by the Goddess Athena, and would lead to greatness.
But, a chance encounter in Sparta's marketplace changes everything, and challenges the entire course of his life and purpose...
“Though it is in Princess Helen’s name, I know other ladies may offer their favor,” he went on, and while his words didn’t waver his heart seemed caught in his throat, even as it drummed powerfully against his ribs. The noisy chatter of other conversations threatened to drown him out, and he leaned toward her again, unable to look away from her gaze. “Will you be offering yours?”
The flush returned to her cheeks, and her smile bloomed wide. “That depends,” she said, after a moment of thought, lovely eyes soft and sweet, “on who is looking to earn it.”

Summary
Nine years into the war, Penelope receives word of Palamedes' death, and knows it was through Odysseus's actions.
That knowledge strikes a fire within, built on her desperate longing, and she cannot help but imagine what she would do if her husband were returned to her, with this news fresh from his lips...
If only he were really there with her, finally. To hold their son and be the father he hardly got the chance to be. She always wished for him, wanted him, every moment of the day — even during the shameful times when the agony of waiting made her angry with him — and that want rose in her now like the tide.
Powerful, inevitable, and all-consuming.
It anchored to her desires, her wildest hope — if he were here now, oh the things she would do with him — and it spun glorious thoughts that could not be ignored.
What would she do with him, if he were here? Knowing this. Having learned what he did.
Meanwhile, in the war-camps outside Troy's walls, Odysseus wishes for Penelope in turn, and wonders about her own thoughts regarding his actions toward Palamedes...and how she would greet him when she knew.

Summary
The first year of Penelope and Odysseus’s marriage was full of new discoveries: of him, of herself, and who they were together. What joys and hopes and desires they already shared, and what they awoke in one another.
Recently, Penelope had made such a discovery, one she was eager to further explore…

Summary
It has been over six months since Odysseus returned, and the happiness of having him home is almost too much to be believed.
Though that doesn't stop Penelope's nightmares. Or the awful clawing fear that reaches for her whenever she is alone, when he or Telemachus are out of her sight.
But what does it matter? She wishes to soothe their pains, not burden them with her own. She is fine. She is fine.
(Or, a fic in which Penelope is the one being cared for and comforted for once.)

Summary
Odysseus had loved to sail.
“Where are you?” She asked the waves, hoping that perhaps, wherever he was, he would hear.
There came no answer.
There never was.
And even then, Penelope had never really learned to stop talking to her ghosts.
(The four times she wrote him letters she did not send, the one time he read them all after his homecoming).

Summary
When Odysseus arrives in Sparta as a suitor for Helen, he expects politics and ceremony, not the sharp-witted, fiercely proud Penelope, daughter of Icarius. What begins as rivalry and resentment soon twists into a charged, undeniable attraction neither can ignore, though both will try.

Summary
He’s had three conversations and stolen thrice as many and no one’s noticed him doing so yet.
Then she steps into view.Helen.
Of course it's Helen. She looks like the Gods in her divinity, an air around her that makes heads turn but keeps men rooted in their seats still. She moves like someone used to being watched but never stopped moving long enough to be caught in all her years and through her reputation.
or;
Odysseus, while at Sparta, mistakes Penelope for Helen upon first seeing her.

Summary
She tugs her eyes away from his gaze and looks back at her weaving. “Do you think Telemachus will like this?”
An invitation; he enters. He stands just behind her, resting his chin on the top of her head. She’s taller than him so he isn’t usually able to do so, but her sitting at the loom allows him to do so.
“It’s lovely. I think he’ll love it.” Odysseus says quickly, not leaving a moment for deliberation.
She tsks. “You’re just saying that.” She pulls the thread through and attaches it to the loom. As she pushes the thread up so it’s tight, Odysseus kisses the crown of her head.
“I don’t lie, I trick.”
