    Summary

    Diomedes has been stuck in a relationship that he wouldn't necessarily call healthy. He knows he should end it. Leave it behind. So he goes to a club where it all began, hoping to meet someone new. He goes there to forget. At least for a moment.
    He couldn't have known that he'd get a taste of a world so unlike his own. A world in which he now wishes he could stay. A world that's against everything he's been made to do and feel in the last two years.

    Summary

    He hadn't planned on revealing his true nature to anyone during the war, no matter how long it was prophesied to last. But his plans never took into consideration the great pain of falling in love.

    Leaving behind a baby not older than three months, Odysseus is forced to set off for war and face the cruel reality of pretending to be an alpha without the company of his wife. Diomedes, however, he didn't expect.

    ...

    (I cannot stress enough how much this story was written to get Ody pregnant lol)

    Summary

    On Diomedes’ first day of battle, he got a slash on the right side of his face. It’s ran from his chin up through his eyebrow. It made his eye a little blurry but he could work through it was ease, could still become the second best soldier in the army in a later war. However, after he’s blessed by Athena in the tenth year of the aforementioned war, his eyesight gets ten times worse

    Or, post book five Diomedes has REALLY shitty eyesight with a side story of Sthenelus REALLY hating Odysseus

    Summary

    A series of murders and disappearances that happen every full moon. A realm beyond our own. Mortal and immortal collide into one. Death roaming the streets, the fog an omen of cruelty. In a world full of things that go bump in the night, there's a specialized force that helps keep the regular people safe and ignorant. And the peak of those forces are the Starforged Maidens.

    Beautiful women who were tasked with helping eliminating these forces along with the others with flash and glitter. A beacon of hope, kindness, and gentleness that helps remind people that light will always defeat the darkness. The group of people that helps make the world feel safer.

    It's a very noble job. Important. Even if they fight in dresses and are a little impractical sometimes, it's nice to know that there's still a little whimsy even when fighting demons. Anyone would be in the right to admire this and feel touched when they're chosen. There's just one small problem with this little arrangement...

    Odysseus isn't a woman.

    Summary

    ' Penelope replied, “But goddess, how can I wash this unwashable blood from my hands? How can I wash my own blood from between my thighs? How can I forgive what I have done, and simultaneously forgive what I have not?” '

    /

    AU where Penelope goes to war instead of Odysseus.

    /

    Summary

    Being woken up in the middle of the night sucks. Especially when you're woken up by a goddess with no patience, demanding for you to get on a ship and go. No one tells Diomedes anything. Definitely not Athena when she's panicking.

     

    Menelaus never stops crying, does he?

    Summary

    “No.” Diomedes says, watching as the branches above them shift with the wind, cutting the sky into smaller pieces. A few petals break loose from their blooms, and the breeze sweeps them away, deeper into Daunus’s gardens.
    “No?” Euippe asks.
    “They never preferred me to him.” He says, the corners of his mouth twitching back upwards into impassivity. “How could they, when I’m…” He trails off, lacking the words. “No,” Diomedes repeats, “Achilles was-”

    Immortality weighs heavily on Diomedes, all while Odysseus and Penelope wrestle with their own mortality.

    Basically a dysfunctional household gains a new member (maybe?)
