    Summary

    “We are but a day and a half from Ithaca,” he admitted at last, voice quieter now, lacking their usual glibness. “A day and a half away from home. After near ten years.”

    Diomedes did not interrupt.

    “It will be ten years soon,” Odysseus continued, his lips twisting with something like bitterness. “Ten years since the day Telemachus was born.” He let out a breath that sounded like a laugh, but there was no humour in it. “Ten years since my sweet boy took his first breath. And I am so near to him, to Penelope, to home – and yet I cannot reach them.”

    "Then go."

     

    (Or, After his ship breaks during a mission to retrieve the son of Achilles, Odysseus gets to make a brief visit home - after ten long years at the shores of Troy - and reunite with his wife and son for a few days)

    Summary

    Everyone thought that Odysseus's journey was over. Ithaca had her king, and Penelope her love.

    Until a wounded and banished Poseidon washes up on their shores.

    Odysseus must face the ghosts that haunt him from his journey; Telemachus struggles to reconcile his father's sins with his mother's lessons; Penelope holds out hope that the man before her will not succumb to the monster within; and Poseidon wrestles with what is owed and what is earned, even for a god.

    Summary

    What if Zeus said no to freeing Odysseus?

    This doesn't sit well with Athena, who takes Hermes and goes to free her old friend against her father's wishes. After the events of the Ithaca Saga, Athena suddenly disappears, and Zeus refuses to tell anyone where she is.

    Two years later, the family is left with a choice: Live out their lives as Athena suffers unknown fates to Zeus? Or take Athena in, and suffer the most horrific curse Zeus could come up with?

    Summary

    Odysseus’s chest tightens, wrenched with a sudden rush of fondness so fierce, it overwhelms everything else around him. He loves him, he loves him, he loves him, he thinks it may be the easiest thing in the world to do so.

    or oneshot stories that are mostly an excuse to write odysseus internally (and externally tbh) monologuing about how much he loves his son and his wife. it’s several love letters in a trench coat.
