    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

    Olivia Draper had been a good idea at first. She could pass for older than Tim could pull off while masculine and women really could get into places easier if they had a pretty face. With makeup and some stylish-yet-inexpensive clothes, Olivia could pull off most undercover ops. She was Tim’s Matches Malone.

    Then Hood had shown up on the scene.
    -----------------------------------
    When Jason met Olivia, he hadn't intended to pull a Bruce and take the scrappy teen informant under his wing. She just kept showing up where he was doing business. He had no other choice than to keep an eye on her. And kit her out with armor so she wouldn't accidentally get shot. And make sure she was being treated fairly by her mysterious boss.

    And, okay, maybe become her big brother.

    Summary

    Jean carefully lowered his drink, looking back. He tried to keep his expression neutral. Jeremy without a smile was like the pure unadulterated blue sky. No sun. No clouds. It wasn’t wrong, but it was outstandingly different. Jean's heart was racing.

    “What are you drinking?” Jeremy asked. “Tea?”

    “No,” Jean lied. “Soda.”

    Please.

    Not breaking eye contact, Jeremy reached across the table and gripped the glass. His fingers overlapped with Jean’s. He pulled, gently, until he had taken the glass from Jean’s hand. Then he lifted it to his mouth and took a sip.

    Not him. Anyone but him.

    ...
