    Summary

    “Penelope…”

    In front of him was the door, a door that will guide him directly to his queen, his love, his everything. The same door, same wood, same rough touch that he knew 20 years ago.

    He opened the door, leaving a small squeak, and entered.
    ________________________________________________________

    Maybe Athena and Odysseus shouldn’t have had discussed matters that they did not understand. Maybe it was more judicious to not talk about Alternative Universes and worlds.

    Maybe they have jinxed, because Odysseus was now doomed to wait longer.

    20 years was, apparently, not enough.

     

    OR : Odysseus is one hell of an unlucky guys and gets transported to an other universe, ours.

    Summary

    "Odysseus had probably never been more confused in his life.

    A strange person with strange clothing had just appeared after the sound of beating wings above him and asked why he dropped the son of Hector off the wall. And it was worth mentioning that in place of his ears were small wings.

    Were lesser known gods just out of the loop of fate and prophecy? Was this man a god? And if he wasn't, how did he get up to the Trojan wall so quickly? Why did he hear wings above him before the man appeared? And why were his ears replaced with wings?!"

    Basically, I had an idea and ran with it. I'm not sorry for what comes next in my plotting.

    Summary

    He was more handsome still than he’d been at Troy, his features filled out with wine and good food, his hair well cared for, falling freely about his shoulders and chest in felted sections. His scars had faded to pale strips on his otherwise nightdark skin, and his ears were heavy with all the gold set into them, rings and studs and dangling chains adorning every part of them.

    “You used to know me from my breaths alone,” Diomedes said. “What happened?”

    For every bit that’d changed, there were a dozen that had stayed the same. The cropped, dark beard, emphasising the slanting planes of his face. The keen eyes, green as the emeralds his kingdom was known for. That smile, striking white between his full lips, a smile that could have lit the darkest moments—and had, once upon a time.

    Looking closer now, Odysseus knew him, though he could not bring himself to feel embarrassed for not recognising him at first. He had long stopped expecting friends in the faces of strangers.

    “That was a long time ago.”

    Summary

    There is a world where the prophet helps Odysseus get home with the 600 men, and it's this one!!

    But how exactly is Odysseus capable of doing this? We know the original story, we know the reason he lost most of his men to Poseidon. He wasn't… ruthless from the start.

    Summary

    “So you are ready to fight properly,” he said, stepping forward again, facing Odysseus where he had fled a few paces backward. “What stopped you before?”

    There was a goading to his voice, barely sheathed; Odysseus thought Zeus was not so patient as he had been mere moments ago, an edge to his words that could have caused birds to plummet from the sky. But there, in the spaces between words, shining in the darks of his eyes, Odysseus saw something else. The place where he had opened Zeus’ skin was already sealed over, given away only by the line of shining ichor left behind. A mortal had landed a hit on him, spilling his precious blood, and their very beings had clashed with how wrong the action had been, a testament to their unlikeness.

    And yet, Zeus’ knees were not bent to charge, his shoulders were not tense, and he held himself bare as though being struck was not a concern of his. Or, as though he was inviting it. As if he was daring Odysseus to do it again.

    Odysseus thrust his sword toward the floor once, flicking the gold off of it, and braced himself for what was to come.

    “Certainty.”

    Odysseus comes to retrieve his belongings from the temple. Instead, he gets a revelation.

    Summary

    "Penelope did not know what it was, this shining image that visited her. A ghost, she was tempted to say. But that was impossible. The mirage gleamed too brightly to be a ghost, and Odysseus was not dead. Odysseus was too clever to be dead."

    "She was a trick. She had to be. A damned Calypso trick. She was made of light, or starshine, or ocean foam. Not real. Impossible. His Penelope was on Ithaca. His Penelope was as old as he was. His Penelope was waiting."

    --

    Odysseus sees flashes of the Spartan princess he fell in love with while languishing on Calypso's island. Penelope sees fleeting glimpses of the mischievous king she married while alone in Ithaca.

    Summary

    “You will see me again in a few days,” Eurycleia told him as Melantho placed a cup in his hands. She had never been one to ask kindly for what she knew was good for him, but her order rang all the firmer now. She knew. Dear gods, she knew.

    Still, there was nothing Odysseus could do but give his reluctant assent, though he did not know what else she would find when she took a closer look. Hollow bones, perhaps, like a bird. Scar tissue so thick it felt like leather. A bolt-struck tree scorched down to its roots.

    /////

    Or: Odysseus is not okay. He doesn’t hide it very well, but he is in too deep now not to try.

    Summary

    Agamemnon had heard the rumors. The kind of whispers that slithered through the camp like a creeping sickness, low and urgent, only spoken when they thought no one important was listening.

    They had started long before the war, when Palamedes first dragged Odysseus from Ithaca, but here—amid the restless soldiers, the sleepless nights filled with quiet mutterings and nervous glances—they had festered into something darker, something more tangible, lurking at the edges of the men’s minds like a half-forgotten nightmare.

    They said Odysseus’s eyes were not like other men's. It wasn’t just the sharpness, the cold gleam they possessed when his mind turned inward—it was something deeper, something that felt wrong, unnatural.

    [OR]

    Agamemnon's reaction to Quick Thought.
