    Summary

    Feathers gleam in the pre-dawn light, the wax and iron beneath glinting and glittering as Rhodey's fingers smooth them away from the harness. “I don’t know that I share your faith Apollo will catch you.”

    “That’s because you’re not a sun worshipper, honeybear,” Antonia says softly, flashing him a soft grin over her shoulder.

    Greek myth AU, in which Toni is imprisoned in a tower by her father, but doesn't intend to stay where she's put. Because she's a sun worshipper. She has loved the sun since she was a baby, and the sun has loved her back.

    Summary

    It was a long time before Geralt suspected anything. Geralt had been trained to notice such things at Kaer Morhen, and had gone years, decades even, without missing something as large as this. He could hear Vesemir shouting now at Geralt’s blindness, unexplainable aside from the locked away knowledge that this had escaped his attentions because he liked the way Jaskier chattered at him, the coin he brought in from his little tunes, liked him. Any bizarre incident that arose was brushed aside in favor of Jaskier’s easy company.

    And there had been many incidents.

    Summary

    “You spent twenty years trying to come home.” Penelope says. Her hand is now playing with his hair, and he is almost ashamed of how much he loves her gentleness. Almost. He has long thrown overboard any guilt about taking what he needs to survive. Still, he shakes sometimes under her touch. “You are here now - and yet, when I look at you, you seem to still be away.”
    There’s a false calmness in her voice. She is upset - not with him, but with herself. Understanding smacks his mind like a rough wave against a ship. He pulls away, so he can look at wife. He props his head up  on his arm, and waits until their eyes lock to speak.
    “I do not miss it, Penelope.” He says.

    A few months after their reunion, Odysseus and Penelope have a lazy morning together.
