    Summary

    They were now onto the third set of projections about his life, and yet Percy still couldn't get used to it. This set particularly was going to be difficult. After all, the events of the winter they were about to watch could arguably be considered as the true beginning of the war.

    Part 3 of my characters 'reading the books' series where they actually watch the events instead.

    Summary

    In a different universe, the suitors were kinder to Penelope. In a different universe, Telemachus grew into his adulthood surrounded by good men, without the threat of his father’s throne being seized by usurpers. And in a different universe, Odysseus would return home to his wife and son without needing to shed the blood of the suitors.

    What happens when that universe reacts to EPIC: The Musical, a world in which their reality took a few steps to the left?

    Summary

    “No.“

    The word rang trough the throne room like a gunshot.

    Hermes’ fingers, which had previously danced over the screen of his caduceus halted and he raised an eyebrow as he looked up at Poseidon.

    The Lord of the Sea held his head high, regally, unrelenting. His eyes were as dark as the waters surrounding Charybdis and his glance bored into each and every one of them, while his hands rested on his trident.

    A silent threat.

    Or:
    It’s a Reading the book story.

    Old, done a million times and completely self-indulgent.

    If you like this kind of story you’re probably desperate enough to check every new one out, if you don’t, I know there is nothing at all I can say to convince you to read this one, and if you don’t know what a reaction fic is and simply start this one out of curiosity , I might be the one to drag you into this rabbit hole.

    If that’s the case, I am deeply sorry, and good luck. It’s pretty hard to leave this trope behind once you’re into it.

    Summary

    It is the fourth year of The Trojan War when the Fates deem that certain Achaeans and Trojans should watch the future unfold and gain insight into how this war that they fight will end for them - they decide that the best way to go about it is to show a grand musical play of the greatest of the heroes present - Odysseus.

     

    (or, in the 4th year of the Trojan War, some of the men and women of the Iliad react to EPIC: The Musical)
