    Summary

    After a concert, Rumi expected everything to go well. She preformed better than before, Mira and Zoey are happy, their fans are happy, and Bobby wants her to fake a PR relationship with the leader of Saja Boys, Jinu.

    What?

    While agreeing to this publicity stunt, Rumi wonders how true Jinu's feelings are and starts to doubt her own feelings when a certain date for the public starts to become something for themselves.

    Summary

    In their argument, all those years ago, Odysseus had cursed Athena out, screamed at her behind his angry tears. He had insisted that she was forever alone. And, while he was not incorrect, he was not right either.

    And only after reuniting with his former mentor, his former friend, would he learn this truth.

    Summary

    After it all, Athena seeks out Telemachus.

    Or: Athena can't bring herself to stay away from the family that showed her precisely what the word "family" meant, even if its patriarch never wants to see her again.

    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

    Athena's been hurt, much more thoroughly than she realized was possible. For the first time in her immortal life, she is fighting against her own body and mind, and she doesn't know how to win.

    Odysseus is home. After two more weeks on sea, a fight with 108 suitors and reunited with his family, he’s quietly accepted that even a desperate prayer won’t bring his former mentor to come back. Little does he know, for two weeks, it’s all Athena’s been trying to do.

    Or, what if after God Games, Athena doesn’t wake up in the infirmary? What if it’s up to a few mortals to take care of the goddess that just collapsed in their palace, looking like she should very much be dead?

    Updates on Sundays :)
