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!!!!!
An Athena-centric Fanfic based during and after "My Goodbye" with a lot of angst. Major focus on Athena, i'm terrible at summarising.
I love it, i read the same angst over the same situation constantly.Series

Summary
The Fates watched as the sun fell out of the sky. Without his light, the world would fall too. They turned towards their tapestry; the golden thread was turning black. Soon, the sun would be snuffed out and even the Fates would join him in death. Six long, pale hands reached out and unspool the thread. A restart was needed, one that would ensure this never occurred again. The three had the how, where and when figured out, they simply needed to drag the sun along with them. Suddenly the hands fell still. The Fates began to fade but that was no matter. For Apollo would have the second chance he needed. The sun would rise again, it always did.

Summary
“Oh, my gods, that explains why your music sounds divine! Cause it is!” Telemachus looked at him like a man who finally solved the world’s best kept secret. Rather than reverence or awe, the boy just looked, well he looked excited.
“And your whole vibe, of like,-“ at this Tele started gesturing to all of him, repeatedly coming back to his face “other worldly handsomeness makes so much more sense now!” Thank you? Apollo felt like that was a compliment. Tele did call him handsome, but he was also speaking like a man who found clarity after decades of insanity.
Aka
Me combining Epic and the Dead Boy Detectives because I just finished the show and can not stop thinking about them. Can definitely be read if you haven't watched/listened to Epic or the Dead Boy Detectives.Or,
Apollo falling in love with Telemachus and trying to achieve happily ever after, only to remember his love life is cursed. Oh and him recruiting two detectives to help him find someone!Series

Summary
Everything burned, searing hot. Nothing but painfully bright darkness surrounded him, and he tried to move, to say something, anything, but his body couldn’t, wouldn’t move, wouldn’t respond.
The worst part, he couldn’t do anything. He couldn’t just try harder, be faster, smarter, better.
He was trapped.
OR
What if Zeus decides not to let Odysseus free?
What if Hermes goes anyways?
Zeus is pissed.
Like, really pissed.
Like, time-to-smite-my-son pissed. -

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
I grow weary of your unabashed laziness. You are supposed to be my most trusted herald, and yet you pawn off your duties? If you do not return to your station within the next several days you will be received with punishment most severe. Do not disappoint me further.
-
Zeus demands Hermes return to his station instead of slacking off in Ithaca. Despite the fact that he continues to be more holey than holy after Poseidon's torment, Hermes is not about to disobey a direct order.
Others in his family seem to disagree on that front.

Summary
“And lastly the wind bag - we went through so much to get this.”
When Poseidon realizes that Hermes is the reason for Odysseus' success after leaving Ogygia, he takes matter into his own hands. Apollo, meanwhile, is desperately tired of his siblings angering their elders.
At least Athena is made for war. When Hermes is unable to withstand Poseidon's wrath, he'll need a little divine intervention or two of his own.

Summary
Ichor continued to weep from her wounds. Staining her clothes, staining the marble, staining the soles of their Father’s sandals. Everywhere Apollo dared look seemed to be tainted with it.
If Athena was a mortal, she would be dead three times over already.
‘But she isn’t mortal.’ Apollo had to remind himself. ‘She won’t die she won’t die she won’t die she won’t die she won’t-’
But some quiet voice in the back of his mind whispered that that may not be the case.
They’ve never seen a god die before. But then again, they had never seen a god take one of Father’s lightning bolts to his face before. Let alone five.
And Athena lay so still…

Summary
No matter how hard he's trying, Apollo cannot heal Athena.
Everyone is watching, and he means everyone. The gods, the remaining shades, the cold stare of Athena's eyes. But he cannot heal her, even with all his might put into this very moment.
