  3. Summary

    a collection of my works inspired by themes and lyrics from the late singer-songwriter cady groves. cady groves (1989-2020) was a rising music artist with five albums to her name (one released posthumously) and hundreds of singles and demos. while many of her songs wrestle with tough themes such as breakups, strained family relationships, and hard times, all of her songs are raw, genuine, and honest.
    i hope that in some small way here, cady's voice and heart will continue to impact and inspire others.

    Summary

    It’s the way Yor gazes at the floor that finally undoes him.

    That, and the warmth of her hand; a gesture so alarmingly simple, so frequently demanded - except of course she hadn’t - that he thought he would’ve surely, surely been inured to it by now.

    Now she blinks, clasping her purse a little tighter. Already he finds himself missing how her fingers had wound around his; that crushing grip nearly bone-breaking, and yet so unequivocally hers. And though he has the script perfectly rehearsed for situations like this, he’s speechless for once. Mute, even – especially when those eyes flicker up to him, waning into a smile he can only describe as heartbreakingly sad.

    Sadness, he decides then, doesn’t quite suit her.

    Summary

    Athena cannot get Odysseus off of the island, not yet. But she can weave him and his wife a little bit closer, intertwine them and their fates and their dreams just a little more—and perhaps that is enough.

    (or: dreamscape conversations and that little red string.)

    Summary

    As kings and princes flock to Sparta, vying for Helen, it's clear that Penelope and Clytemnestra will serve as consolation prizes. As the other men strut around like peacocks, one suitor catches Penelope's eye: the little king of barren Ithaca.

    Now she needs make sure to catch his eye in turn.

    Summary

    “What are you carving?” a few of the children ask, the younger ones hiding behind the backs of their older, braver siblings.
    “I don’t know yet,” the king replies. “But I think it’s important.”

     

    Or: In which Odysseus amasses a small army of Ithacan children, a very large army of wooden soldiers, and the support system to heal just that little bit further.

    Summary

    He wonders if there is some truth to what Anya had said about Christmas magic—if perhaps it really did exist, weaving its invisible threads around him, rendering him devoid of intelligence or logic. He can’t explain it otherwise—whatever it is that makes his heart beat just a little faster as he speaks, whatever it is that compels him to put words to feelings that have been buried too long.

    or, Loid arrives home late on Christmas Eve to a sleepy (fake) wife, and he confronts feelings that won't remain buried.
