    Summary

    Poseidon is still haunted - dreams of - the mortals who managed to break his walls down. Even if everything isn't perfect, even if his family could not care less for him, he knows someone, somewhere, does. Or so he hopes. And he needs that reassurance.
    But a comment rips open hurts he would rather bury deep and forget about. If only these damn mortals would let him.

    Summary

    Athena goes to Zeus in private to request Odysseus's freedom. Instead of striking Athena, Zeus offers her a deal. He will release Odysseus from Ogygia if Athena agrees to spend a year as a mortal in Odysseus's palace. With little say in the matter, she accepts.

    On Ithaca, Athena awakes in the body of a 12 year old servant, specifically an orphan servant with a reputation for poor performance. Which is good because Athena has no idea what she's doing and doesn't have much time to learn. Suitors have infected the palace, Telemachus is waiting for divine help that will never come, and Odysseus will be home in two weeks. She has a lot of work ahead of her, and it won't end when Odysseus retakes his throne.

    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.

    Summary

    “Odysseus.” Odysseus did not startle. He also did not greet Diomedes despite having known of his approach. “Odysseus?”

    Perhaps this was some sort of battle related trauma. Diomedes ended up sitting down besides Odysseus and let his shoulder bump against the sullen King. “Talk to me, friend.”

    “...About what?”

    “What’s going on? Polites is concerned, so are your men. Was it the blood? Or the men who fell? Rest assured, friend, none of yours fell today.”

    “Do you think King Sisyphus fights against his punishment? Do you think the Fates would allow him, if he did?”

    Flinching, Diomedes observed the change in Odysseus’ eyes. Instead of the colour of the sea, Odysseus’ eyes were taken over by a hue of red– only noticeable when observed in a certain angle but definitely present. Diomedes knew what caused a hue of red like that.

    Odysseus had been touched by Ares’ Rage.

    —---

    In which Odysseus is dropped back in time into the Trojan War and chooses to mess with everyone until it gets him killed or gets him back to Penelope. Others take notice.

    Or, Odysseus is soooo done.

    Summary

    Mercury is the planet closest to the great star. It constantly revolves around it, enjoying its warmth more than any other planet. So it was inevitable that, at some point, they would fall in love.

    One day, Hermes collided in Eea, setting in motion many astronomy classes and a love story with its ups, down and a surprise for him and Circe.

    Summary

    60 years after Odysseus returns home, Hermes discovers him Still alive and well. It was as if He was still no more than forty, his face was not scratched with wrinkles, and his voice was still ringing.
    It's all about the ten drops of the Sea God's blood that got into the mortal King's body during Poseidon's torture with his own trident.

    "It's not forever. May God grant that in 300 years the ichor will evaporate from your body, great-grandson. In the meantime, live like you're a ghost."

    But what do you do when your Nemesis finds out about you? What to do when all the secrets become clear? Why is Poseidon in no hurry to take the golden blood from the mortal king's body?

    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

    Since I was the person who was the therapist in a fic by Kasa_Memoire_Antique, I thought I might as well write a longer version of the therapy chapter. You will need context of Kasa_Memoire_Antique's fic to understand the backstory of this.

    Summary

    Everyone always looks at the main character of a story. The hero. The one at the front. The one everyone knows. But what about those who hide in the background? What about the characters who don't get much spotlight? What about the characters that everyone forgets?

    Follow Perimedes through the story of the Odyssey as he figures out all that he ever needed to be happy during a difficult, heartbreaking, and bittersweet journey.

    Summary

    And so, Odysseus’s vision faded to black.

    A man surrounded and held close by those he cherished and loved dearly.

    Yet it seems the Fates had a different plan in mind

    The first thing Odysseus noticed was the stench of fire and bloodshed.

    A smell he’d long since left behind but one that never strayed from his nightmares.

    -But he isn't alone in this.-

    It might've better if he was.

    Summary

    Gods couldn’t die. The words repeated themselves in Ares's head.

    And yet, his sister lay unmoving on the floor of the main throne room, his father’s lightning still sparking violently through her body. His family stood by his side, but no one dared say the question aloud. So he made the choice to say what all in attendance thought.

    “...is she dead?”

    - - - - - - - - -

    This is a literary retelling of EPIC from Love in Paradise and beyond. If this picks up and gets some traction, I may also continue with the Vengeance Saga and the Ithaca Saga as well. And possibly beyond.

    This will be from the perspective of the gods - occasionally, there may or may not be a mortal point of view in certain cases, but mostly it’s focusing on the Greek pantheon’s perspective.

    Summary

    Hermes, the messenger god, has been overworked to no end for days and often misses a few messages. Zeus has had "enough" and exiles him, leading to him having to reside in Ithaca with the royal family. They would've gone to the underworld but Zeus has convinced him that Tiresias was the reason of his exile and that he had gone out of their way to tell Hades to suggest to Zeus that Hermes should be exiled, convincing him that Tiresias had only ever been out for Hermes' power. To furthen that belief Tiresias was used as a replacement of Hermes, leading to many gods hating him, except for Aphrodite.

    Tiresias often resides in Ithaca as the trees are comfortable. Them and Hermes often end up meeting each other.

    The rest is for you to find out:3
