⚠️RULE PAGE HAS BEEN UPDATED⚠️

Notes:

I haven’t seen one for the Epic fandom yet and I wanna write more so here we are!

Chapter 1: Rules

Summary:

Epic the musical age regression/pet regression fic requests!

I haven’t seen one for the Epic fandom so I’m making a agere/petre fic request! Here are some rules before you start dropping requests!

Updated rules as of July 1st 2025!

DO NOT HARASS OTHERS FOR THEIR REQUESTS!!!! I’ve seen this happen twice! Saying how the request doesn’t make sense, DONT DO THAT!!! Who cares if it doesn’t make complete sense this is fanfiction about a musical where a mortal defeats a god with a windbag jet pack

I am not comfortable writing diapers/wetting sorry

Only characters that appear in the musical please! (with the exception of citmene, Laertes and Anticlea as I feel like I could write them easily since there’s not much to go off of to begin with) I don’t know much about the Greek gods/goddesses and it’s much easier to write for characters who have personalities in the musical then someone who doesn’t appear in the musical and I have to figure out a personality for them

Only request stuff about the musical! I don’t know anything about the Iliad sorry!

Antinous/calypso requests MUST be an AU version of them as I will not be writing for their canon counterparts, so like i’ll write for an Actor AU!calypso but not canon!calypso

I have the right to turn down a request, unlikely but it may happen!

This one isn’t a rule but with Regressuary, I shared a few EPIC AU’s I have! and if you’d like to request more fics from those AU’s I’m more then happy to do so!

The AU’s are:
Amnesiac Poseidon AU

Resurrected Tiresias AU

Lotus Fruit AU

EPIC Actor AU

You don’t have to fill this out but it makes my life easier making the requested fic!

Fill out form:

Agere or petre? (You can have both!):

AU or canon? (If AU state the AU):

Caregiver(s):

Little(s) or pet(s):

What age the little(s) are/what animal the pet(s) are:

Mini plot description:

Additional info (like if you want the little to call the caregiver a certain nickname or have the little have a certain toy stuff like that):

Chapter 2: CG!Circe Wolf!Odysseus

Summary:

Odyessus pet regresses well at Circe’s palace and Circe takes care of him

Notes:

This request is for Cobble_Mossy0201 hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Odysseus sat away from Circe on the bed, after she had tried to put him under a trance. He wasn’t sure if it was the Moly or his wolf headspace creeping in but his head started to feel fuzzy before he started speaking."l can't! Back at home, my wife awaits for me she's my everything, my Penelope and she's all my power, all my power but it's been twelve long years Oh, twelve long years since I have seen my wife and now the God of Tides is out to end my life" shivering at the thought of Poseidon and what he did to the rest of his fleets. "so i beg you Circe, grant us mercy and let us puppet’s leave..."  Odysseus continued.

Circe let out a sigh “Poseidon eh?" she questioned “there might be a way to evade him, there might be a way to get home, though this other way’s very dangerous it might be your one final hope, i know of a brilliant prophet, problem is this prophet is dead” Circe paused before continuing. "i can’t you home, but i can get you to the Underworld instead, i’ll release your men, and I'll get you to the Underworld instead”

Odysseus shook his head to try to clear the fuzziness creeping up on him, he wasn't entirely paying attention to what Lady Circe was saying but understood she was helping them. "Wait you’re helping us?" questioned Odysseus unsure if there were any tricks involved thanks to him not listening. "i did just say that yes, were you even paying attention? Do not make me repeat myself." snapped Circe. "i apologize Lady Circe...My mind has been fuzzy it's a bit hard to pay attention, i’m not sure if it's a side effect of the Moly or—" Odysseus apologized before cutting himself off before he spilled his secret, he just found it easy to talk to Circe as it was to Penelope, though he felt no love to her the same way he felt towards his wife, It had felt similar to when Penelope acted as his caregiver...

"To my knowledge mortals who eat Moly do not get the side effect of spacing out, however whatever you were about to say may be the issue, but i cannot help you if you don't tell me" Circe said. Odysseus shifted on the bed nervously, the only person who who knew about his thing was Penelope but Circe made him feel the same way Penelope did, he felt safe...Perhaps he could trust her with this? 

"Well...It’s a bit silly but sometimes...Sometimes i feel like an animal? Like um...A wolf? More specifically a wolf pup..." Odysseus stated nervously, looking down at his hands and fiddled with his fingers. "mm i see"  hummed Circe before continuing “Some of my daughters act like that sometimes, either acting like sea life or creatures you’d find in forests, when was the last time you acted on these feelings?" Circe questioned 

"before i had left my wife, so about twelve years or so...It hasn't exactly been safe to act on these feelings well out at sea" answered Odysseus. "Well that just won’t do" chided Circe before continuing “No wonder you've been spacing out, i’m surprised you've lasted this long without acting out on those feelings, you cannot leave until you've acted on that feeling, the Underworld is a dangerous place and it will do you no good spacing out like you have, my Daughters will go free your men well i take care of you alright?" Circe ordered

Odysseus thought about it for a few minutes, the only person who ever took care of him was Penelope but Circe was right...The Underworld would be dangerous and he cannot be distracted and lose more men. "A-Alright fine" stated Odysseus somewhat timidly. He'd never admit it out loud but having someone else take care of him who wasn’t Penelope scared him. "It's alright dearie, everything will be fine” Circe said smiling softly well reaching her hands to Odysseus’s head and casting a spell that allowed his ears to shift to wolf ones and tail to grow on his behind. "i can do much more then turn men into pigs and this might help with the change in mindset” Circe chuckled softly. 

Odysseus bolted up from the bed, he had a tail, he had a tail! Odysseus let out a laugh before spinning in circles attempting to catch his tail before flopping back down on the bed dizzily, letting out a tired laugh. Circe Smiled before reaching out to pet Odysseus’s hair. "well that didn’t take much effort to get you into that headspace now did it?" remarked Circe "although if you haven't been in that headspace for nearly twelve years, it’s understandable why you’d give in so easily” she continued Odysseus just let out a bark as a reply. 

"You're just the cutest thing, you know? Your wife is lucky to have you" Circe said as she shifted closer to Odysseus on the bed. Odysseus let out a whine, he missed Penelope a lot..."Oh i know darling, you’ll get to see your wife soon though!" Circe said encouragingly still petting Odysseus’s hair. Odysseus moved closer to Circe before stopping, she had said she'd take care of him right? He and Penelope had snuggled lots well he was like this...It wouldn't be considered anything bad if he snuggled Circe right? It certainly wasn't romantic snuggling so it wasn't like he was cheating on Penelope...

"I don't need to be the Goddess Of Wisdom to know how loudly you are thinking, if you wish to cuddle, we can, it’s not just a romantic act after all, me and my daughters do it lots" Circe chimed in on Odysseus’s thinking. The puppy let out a tired sigh before moving closer to Circe, letting his tail wag happily as he laid next to the witch. "Good boy" Circe said before continuing “Rest now pup, once you awake, your men will be freed and you'll be on your way to the Underworld". Odysseus let out a big tired yawn, snuggling closer to his new caregiver before giving into slumber.  

Notes:

In the song Done For, Circe refers to the nymphs as “like her daughters” so I made her refer to them as such in this fic because it’s cute! And apparently Circe can use her magic to not only turn people into pigs but wolves and lions as well! So I made it so Circe turned odysseus into a half wolf!

Feel free to continue sending requests! Just please send comment them on the first chapter thanks!

Chapter 3: CG!Hermes Wolf!Odysseus

Summary:

Hermes helps Odysseus through panic and takes care of his great grandson as he pet regresses

Notes:

This request is for Sora13 hope you enjoy💛💛💛

(I hope the POV switching n stuff isn’t too confusing)

I decided to tie this chapter into my CG!Circe and Wolf!Odysseus chapter! So yes Odysseus isn’t necessarily a puppy regressor, wolves and dogs are close so I hope that’s okay!

Odysseus sat on the raft as it drifted on the calm sea, it had been for days now with no sight of Poseidon and it was putting him on edge but he was finally free from Calypso! After seven years he was finally free from her! That at least made him happy even if he was weary of the God Of Seas popping up at any moment. Odysseus relaxed against the mast of the little raft hoping to get a little shut eye before the weather took a sharp turn, the weather was always unpredictable at sea and he does not want a repeat of staying awake for nine days. 

Just as he was about to drift off to sleep, he felt a presence fill the air and heard a familiar laugh. "Hahahaha! Hello darling!" laughed Hermes. Odysseus stood up at seeing his great grandfather and stared up at the god, after seven years of just seeing Calypso, he finally saw another living being that wasn’t just an animal on Ogygia. Someone who was familiar and safe— Odysseus felt his headspace creep up on him at seeing Hermes, Circe took care of him before at her palace and well he knew Hermes cared for him, he was his great grandson after all, Odysseus wasn’t sure if Hermes would...Understand his headspace and he didn't particularly like the idea of acting out those feelings well on a dingy raft. 

"Hermes—" Odysseus felt choked up all of a sudden as it finally truly set in he was freed from Calypso and was actually talking to someone else. "mm yes that is my name darling, i must say you look quite dishevelled, these last few years haven’t been that kind to you have they?" Hermes asked as he took in the appearance of his great grandson, his beard and hair were overgrown and messy with grey streaks running through both and his chiton was in tatters. "did Calypso even take care of you well she had you trapped there?" the trickster god continued. 

Odysseus couldn't find himself to verbally reply so he just shook his head, hoping that it would also clear his head of the feeling. Hermes let out a frustrated growl, how dare that nymph not take care of his precious great grandson after having him trapped there for so long! Hermes made a mental note to deal with her later, right now he needed to focus on Odysseus and help him get home. "anyways lovely! I've come assist with getting you home!" Hermes said enthusiastically. "I appreciate the help but how? The most you can do is bless my travels which i deeply appreciate, don’t get me wrong! But i don’t think illusion magic can help if a storm hits" asked Odysseus 

"Oh, you won't have to worry about that! Uncle P sent a storm your way, but we worked so hard to trap it!" Hermes said brightly as he held out the windbag that some Winons dropped into Hermes awaiting hand. Odysseus flinched back as he saw the windbag, the screams of five hundred men filled his ears as they cried out for their captain to save them. Odysseus felt himself beginning to shake and his breathing hitch, he never wanted to see that damn bag again! They had been so close to home....Why hadn’t his brothers trusted him? They were dead now though so Odysseus supposed they had reason not to trust him. 

Hermes watched Odysseus reaction to the windbag, seeing him flinch away from the bag and start to shake made Hermes feel horrible, he did not enjoy seeing his great grandson so afraid, perhaps it wasn't the best idea to show Odysseus the item that got most of his men killed. Hermes gently gave back the windbag to the Winons before floating down next to his descendant, placing his hands gently on Odysseus’s shoulders and gave them a soft squeeze. "my little cockerel, you need to breath...Everything is okay" Hermes said softly. Odysseus could only let out whine and shook his head, everything was not fine! All his men were dead and he was to blame! Odysseus began hyperventilating as a panic attack set in. 

Hermes stared at Odysseus wondering how he could get Odysseus to calm down. He thought back to when Odysseus and his men washed up on Aeaea, where he interacted with his great grandson face to face for the first time in years, offering him Holy Moly to help save his men from Circe. He had been watching the fight to make sure his great grandchild wouldn't die, he had watched the witch attempt to put Odysseus under a trance only for him to break free thanks to his devotion to his wife, Hermes bet the God Queen was happy to see that, a man so devoted to his wife. But then he saw Odysseus and Circe talk about how sometimes Odysseus acted like a wolf pup, maybe that could help? 

Hermes gently moved his hands from his great grandson’s shaking shoulders to his head and hair, easily casting illusions magic to allow wolf ears and a tail to appear, along with a soft green fabric collar around Odysseus’s neck. Hermes then gently began petting Odysseus hair around the newly formed ears. "calm down little one, everything will be okay, yes, your friends are gone but you will see them again once your time has come" Hermes said softly as he gently lowered the both of them into a setting position on the raft. Hermes continued to play with the pup’s hair "you’re such a good boy..." cooed Hermes desperately hoping to calm Odysseus. 

Odysseus felt Hermes place his hands on his shoulders with a soft squeeze, trying to get him to calm down but Odysseus could only let out a puppy like whine as he shook his head once more. It was getting harder to breath and Odysseus realized he had started to hyperventilate as panic set in— suddenly Odysseus felt the effects of some magic and he felt his ears change and a weight added to his backside along with something around his neck. Odysseus then felt Hermes pet his hair, near his ears Odysseus realized, Hermes changed his appearance to that of a wolf pup... Odysseus dimly  wondered how his great grandfather knew about his feelings,  but that was quickly overrided with the want of more affection. 

Odysseus listened to Hermes speak, the god had a point...His men were gone but he would eventually join them. Odysseus felt Hermes lower them to the floor of the raft in a sitting position as the trickster continued to pet his hair. He was a good boy? He liked being a good boy! The pup couldn't help pushing his head more into the hand giving him pets, loving the affection he was given. Hermes smiled at seeing Odysseus calm down and regress into the wolf like headspace. "oooh you're just the cutest thing ever! Yes you are! Yes you are!" Hermes coddled the little whelp. 

Hermes realized it was getting late and he very much did not want a repeat of having his little pup stay up longer then he needed, so ever so carefully Hermes summoned Caduceus and booped the end of the staff to the pups nose. Odysseus let out quite the adorable sneeze and pawed at the sparkling dust that went in his face when the staff had booped him, The puppy felt his eyes droop as he leaned against the only family he had seen in seven years. "sleep now love, I've got you..." Hermes whispered to the now slumbering pup as the two continued to drift at sea.  

Notes:

Cockerel = Baby Rooster

Roosters are one of Hermes sacred animals so I thought it’d be cute if he had a special nickname for Odysseus with one of his sacred animals!

Chapter 4: CG!Odysseus Little!Telemachus

Summary:

Little! Telemachus has a nightmare CG!Odysseus comforts his son

Notes:

This request is for Hafsah hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

The request was for little!Telemachus being around 9-10 however it seems I’m bad at writing child and accidentally made him regress younger then that but i still hope you enjoy!

This fic is a little more heavy as a plot idea wasn’t given besides Odysseus comforting a little!Telemachus so I ran wild with my own idea, there are vague mentions of SA in this fic, specifically in a nightmare scene if you wish to skip that stop reading at “the young man quickly drifted to sleep” and skip to “Telemachus bolted upright in his bed”

Telemachus was out at the field, training with Athena, even with his dad back and the suitors gone, Telemachus enjoyed training to fight. If he was going to be king eventually he needed to know how to fight to protect his people! Telemachus let his thoughts continue to wander, it was still crazy to think that after twenty years his dad was back! The suitors were gone too! He shivered as he tried not to think about the blood that stains some of the palace still, the suitors dishonoured xenia though, not only that, but they wanted to do things to his mother, and did things to him, especially Antinous he shivered again at the thought of that pig, so he does not blame his father for going on a murder spree of killing one hundred and eight men and hoped that Odysseus gave Antinous the most painful death of all. 

Telemachus was brought out of his thoughts by a sharp sting on his cheek, he blinked as he realized that Athena had cut him with her spear. "I'm sorry little wolf, i thought you'd block my hit” Athena apologized as she came closer, lowering her spear as she walk. It's okay Athena! Its just a scratch I’m fine, i wasn't really paying attention, kinda got lost in thought..." Telemachus reassured as he lowered his own sword."What's on your mind little wolf?" the goddess asked, sure she could just take a peak into his mind but that wasn't a very nice thing to do without asking. Telemachus fiddled with the hilt of the sword before speaking. "Just...thinking about how weird it is that father is back, I’m happy he’s back! More then words could ever express! But...It still feels weird for him to be here and the suitors gone after so many years”. Athena hummed in thought before replying. "hm i can’t say i fully understand as time feels different for us gods but...Those ten years without Odysseus, it was lonely and it does feel odd being around him again but much like you, I’m very happy to have him back, now go return home and get that cut checked out,  your parents will be back from their outing soon”

Telemachus gave a nod before hugging Athena. "Okay, bye Athena! Come back to visit soon and not just for training!" Telemachus said before running off to the palace. The goddess hugged her friend back."goodbye Telemachus, i will, don’t worry” she replied before watching the young man run off back home. Once back at the palace, Telemachus beelined it to his bedroom, he still felt nervous and a little scared to be anywhere in his own home that wasn’t his bedroom even with the suitors dead. The young man smiled as he entered his room, seeing Olive curled up at the foot of his bed, after Argos passed last year, his parents had gotten him his own puppy now that the palace was safe from those pigs. 

Telemachus gently petted her head as he passed his bed to his vanity, to get to the medical supplies he kept in his room for when he wanted to cover up the damage the suitors had done without bothering his mother. He quickly cleaned the cut a covered it with bandaging before putting the medical supplies away, Telemachus sighed his parents weren't back yet, he assumed they would be by the time he got back to the palace as the walk from the field to the palace took a while. With a quick glance out his bedroom window to guess the time, he decided a nap wouldn't hurt,  he was pretty tired after training. Moving over to his bed he carefully pulled back the covers as not to disturb Olive in her own slumber before climbing under the covers, the young man quickly drifted off to sleep. 

 

Telemachus could feel his hands all over him, he didn’t like it! He didn’t like it at all but it was better then him then his mother at least thats what he told himself. He could feel Antinous’s rough hands wander his body, he told himself to stay still and endure it for the sake of his mother. He hated the feeling of Antinous’s touch, he was rough and forceful not gentle at all, his whole body hurt and he felt so tired. He was so tired of the pain...He wanted it to be over....He let out a whine as Antinous continued to touch him. "Telemachus—! wake—! Telemachus!" Said a voice, the voice sounded familiar...Warm and safe, like it could protect him from anything. "TELEMACHUS WAKE UP!!!"

 

Telemachus bolted upright in his bed, panting heavily as his heart raced he was absolutely drenched in sweat as he still felt the phantom touches of Antinous...He felt his eyes start to tear up as he looked around the room wildly, everything was blurred by unshed tears but he recognized his bedroom...He let out a shuttered breath trying to calm his racing heart. "Telemachus" He whipped his head to the direction of the voice to see his father sitting on the edge of the bed with a worried expression. "Tele, it's okay...You just had a nightmare” Odysseus said softly giving his son a reassuring smile, Telemachus, at seeing his father let his unshed tears fall as he bursted out sobbing. "Tátaaaa!!!!" Telemachus sobbed. 

"Oh baby..." Odysseus cooed before moving from the edge of the bed closer to Telemachus, giving him a hug."It's okay, it’s okay...It was just a nightmare it’s over now” he continued as he petted his son’s hair, Telemachus continued to sob and shook his head before crying out. "mmm!! N-not just a nightmare! H-he touched me-e ‘n made me feel i-icky..." Odysseus felt his blood boiled, he remembered when he first reunited with his son in his begger disguise and Telemachus had confided in him that the suitors were using him, he allowed it to happen to spare Penelope. He was proud of his son for wanting to protect his mother but allowing himself to be used...It made him feel sick as he remembered his own experience with Calypso. He was more then happy to make Antinous’s death as painful as possible for violating his child.

"it’s okay little pup, he's gone and no longer can hurt you, i promise..." Odysseus reassured softly. "even with him gone, if you still feel the need to cry, don't be afraid to do so..." Odysseus continued. he was trying to open his heart back up after closing it off after becoming a monster and he didn’t want his son to feel the same, so he often encouraged Telemachus to freely feel his emotions. Telemachus continued to cry until he tired himself out, he snuggled closer to his táta and his thumb found its way into his mouth. Odysseus tsk-ed softly at seeing Telemachus put his thumb in his mouth, he gently removed the finger from his child’s mouth before reaching over on the bedside table and grabbed the wolf plush that was sitting there. 

"remember baby, fingers in the mouth are icky, have your plushie instead” Odysseus reminded gently as he handed the plushie to Telemachus. Telemachus took the plushie and popped one of the ears of the wolf plush into his mouth as a replacement for his thumb. "T’ank you..." Telemachus thanked, it coming out a bit muffled thanks to the plush. "your welcome pup” replied Odysseus. "what do you say we go find máma and Olive and she can read you a story?" he continued. Telemachus nodded excitedly, he hadn't even noticed the puppy had not been in his bedroom when he first awoke but he wanted to find her! She gave the best cuddles when máma was reading stories! Both Odysseus and Telemachus stood up, Telemachus holding one of Odysseus’s hands well the other held his wolf plush close to his mouth so he could chew on the ear of the plush toy. Father and son then left the bedroom to go look for the rest of their little family. 

Notes:

Táta = ancient Greek version of dada

It also seemed that in ancient Greece, they didn’t really have pacifiers and used soft cloth or animal skins instead! So little!Tele uses a plushie as a pacifier!

I also may make a fic in the future about tele getting Olive!

Chapter 5: CG!Athena Wolf!Telemachus

Summary:

Telemachus pet regressses after “We’ll be fine” and Athena has to deal with the pup!

Notes:

This request is for Anon hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

I keep accidentally connecting my petre fics send heeelp

Athena winced as Telemachus fell through her spiritual projection, perhaps staying in that form after fighting those bullies wasn’t the best idea. Athena changed to her physical form as she kneeled down to help Telemachus up. "Are you alright Little Wolf?" Athena asked lending out her hand for the young man as he sat up from his fallen position. Telemachus perked up at the nickname, he had been on the verge of slipping into his headspace ever since the fight against Antinous especially because of that nickname. He was a little worried to allow himself to slip into that headspace with Athena here, but he reminded himself that Athena had helped him with the fight and she was his friend! "Woof!" Telemachus barked and nuzzled into Athena’s hand instead of taking it to get up.

Athena was taken aback by this reaction for a second before smiling sadly and gently caressing Telemachus’s cheek as he nuzzled into her hand. She remembered Odysseus acting like this sometimes, he’d be antsy all training session and then immediately run off once it was over, one time out of curiosity she had followed in her owl form making sure she stayed undetected as she watched him act out as a wolf puppy. As he got older he seemed to do it less and less and it never interfered with training or fighting in general so she never thought to bring it up to him and then they had their fight...

"Well i guess you really are a little wolf hm? Well I’m going to assume that bark means you're okay but i’d still like to take a look at your wounds and clean them if i have too" Athena said as she continued to pet Telemachus’s cheek. Telemachus whined, he hated how the medical ointments stung, he moved his head away from Athena’s hand and quickly made a dash for it from the balcony back to inside his room and out into the hallway on all fours. He was quite clumsy running on all fours as he body certainly wasn't built for it so it didn't take long for the wisdom goddess to easily scoop him up into her arms, gentle yet firmly held against her chest to stop him from running off again.

He let out growl and squirmed in the goddess’s hold attempting to escape once more. "I apologize Little Wolf but your wounds really should be looked at and treated if need be!" Athena asserted still keeping her firm grip on the pup. Athena walked back to the prince’s room and to the bed and gently placed the puppy prince down on his bed. "Stay" she firmly ordered before moving to the vanity where she had spotted the medical supplies early, Telemachus pouted as he pawed at his sheets staying put just as ordered. He wanted to try and make a run for it again but he also felt the urge to obey the order so he stayed put, Athena soon returned with the medical supplies needed and placed them on the bed beside the pup. 

"Good boy for staying put" Athena smiled softly petting Telemachus’s head before sitting down on the bed next to the medical supplies, Telemachus beamed he liked being called a good boy! It felt nice! "Alright let’s take a look at those wounds hm?" Athena hummed before continuing as she looked at his body carefully. "I’m no Apollo but i’ll be able to bandage up any injuries, none of them look too bad" the goddess then got some ointments and bandages and begun to work. Telemachus couldn't help but whimper and whine on the occasion as the ointment really stung with some wounds, Athena had softly apologized any time he whimpered or whined pausing after that particular wound was bandaged to pet his head and call him a good boy and telemachus liked that a lot!

"I’m almost finished Little Wolf, there's just a cut on your face i need to patch up, it looks a bit bad though so its probably going to sting quite a bit I’m sorry" Athena informed before gently putting the ointment on the wound. Athena was right, it stung badly and Telemachus couldn't help but move his head away from the goddess’s hand and let the knee jerk reaction kick in. The pup bit down hard onto the hand that had touched his face, Athena gave no reaction to being bit and instead simply apologized. "i’m sorry that it hurt little one..." Athena apologized. Telemachus immediately let go once he realized what he had done, whimpering he licked the hand he had bitten, being careful not to lick any of the ointment that was on her hand. 

"Its alright puppy, it didn't even hurt i’m a goddess remember? It'll take a lot more then a simple bite from a mortal to hurt me" Athena reassured gently bandaging Telemachus’s cut and wiping off the remaining ointment from her hands before petting Telemachus again. The little wolf happily leaned into the touch, grateful that it seemed he didn't hurt his friend. Athena then got up and quickly put away the medical supplies before sitting back down next to the pup, Telemachus then moved from his spot on the bed and moved himself onto Athena’s lap. The wisdom goddess froze as the wolf pup snuggled up in her lap. 

she easily gave Telemachus head pets but to have him sit in her lap for snuggles made her freeze up, she wasn’t use to others being so freely open with her like this. Athena carefully moved her hand to pet Telemachus in the new position, and the two of them were in, Telemachus let out a content sigh as he started to fall asleep in athena’s lap. "Oh it's nap time now is it?"  mused Athena as she carefully changed their position so she was resting again the headboard of the prince’s bed well the wolf pup slept in her lap. "Sleep well Little Wolf" Athena whispered.

Chapter 6: CG!Hermes Unaware!Little!Odysseus

Summary:

Odysseus finds more about himself then he thought he knew and Hermes comforts him

Notes:

This request is for Vampgirl236 hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

It was super fun to write about unaware!Little!odysseus! I hope I get more unaware!little requests they’re quite fun to write!

Edit:editing part of this chapter bc a reader pointed out my math did not math for Odysseus’s current age oop—

Odysseus stumbled around the forest trying to find the palace Eurylochus talked about,  but he was still only running off of roughly half an hour of sleep in the last nine days. They had been so close to home and he fell asleep and the windbag was opened...Leading them straight to Poseidon of all Gods, upon learning the Cyclops they blinded was his son Odysseus knew they were royally fucked, most of the crew was terrified because it was the god of the seas they were up against but to Odysseus? He knew how much the god of tides cared for his children and the fact that they blinded him and just left him defenceless without a warriors death...He understood the rage the god felt despite Telemachus only being a baby when he left for war, he’d do anything to avenge his son if he was hurt. 

However...Out of six hundred men he only had forty three left, Poseidon had killed the eleven other fleets and he would have killed Odysseus and the rest of his crew had he not reopened the windbag,  and now they were on an unknown island with a witch who’s apparently turned his remaining men into pigs. Odysseus continued to walk through the twisting turning forest, growing slower and slower as exhausted creeped up on him once more, as he continued walking he heard giggling around him echoing in the forest the laughter sounded familiar in some way but he couldn't quite place it. "i must say what a brilliant speech you gave" said the familiar voice from somewhere in the forest. "who goes there?" Odysseus asked wearily looking around the forest, his hand griping the hilt of his sword tightly. "just someone who could help you save your men, a foe like Circe is not to be messed with, you want to beat her? You’ll need the blessing of a certain god, divine intervention someone who's not afraid to...Send a message" The voice continued before appearing from the trees. 

"Hermes...!" Odysseus said in surprised. he hadn't seen his great grandfather since he became king...About nineteen years ago, his head started to feel fuzzy at seeing the god, at seeing someone who was family..."Hello darling! It's been quite a bit hasn’t it?" Hermes laughed as he floated down from the trees he was hiding in to his great grandson “i haven’t seen you since you were itty bitty!" the god teased, of course that was a lie, he was always watching his great grandson even if they weren't face to face. Odysseus blushed at the teasing, he was quite confused, he wasn't one to get flustered so easily from simple teasing."It's been nineteen years lord Hermes, i was not ‘itty bitty’ i was thirteen!" Odysseus informed with a slight pout, Hermes simply grinned at that and Odysseus knew that grin all too well, Hermes knew something he didn’t and found it funny. 

"Enough with the teasing! You said you could help my men, how?" Odysseus asked with a demanding tone. "my, my someone's grumpy" the trickster god muses “i think the baby needs a nap" the god continues with a snicker, Hermes for a while now had noticed the king of Ithaca at times had acted rather childish but had never truly acted on those feelings. Hermes had seen it happen to many adult mortals, when stressed they’d act like children to relieve said stress, usually having another adult mortal act as a ‘caregiver’ to make sure the adult-child wouldn't hurt themselves. Hermes had seen how stressed his great grandson had been getting and had decided to see if Odysseus too had this child-like mindset and to Hermes delight it seemed like he did.

"Hermes! I am not a baby! I-I need to go save my men!" Odysseus said as tears started to form in his eyes. Why was he getting so emotional? He had to hold it together! He needed to save his men, there were only forty three left out of six hundred, he couldn't bare to lose anymore— “I-I need to g-go save them— great grandfather please—" why was his voice so shaky? And him calling Lord Hermes his great grandfather...He hadn’t done that since before he became king, it hadn't felt right to be so familial with the god once he had become king... Odysseus slowly crumpled to the forest floor as the tears in his eyes built up more, the fuzziness in his head was full force now, it felt kinda nice but he was also panicked, Odysseus didn’t know what this was and it scared him. He looked up from where he was crumpled on the floor to his great grandfather with big tearful eyes, Hermes would know what was going on right? And know how to help? His Bubba made everything better— With a high pitched whine Odysseus weakly reached out to Hermes. "Bubba—!" Odysseus gasped out before he was full on wailing, tears streaming down his face as he struggled to breath. 

Hermes watched Odysseus crack and crumple under the teasing, he expected it to take a bit more teasing then this for the king to fall into that child like headspace but it seemed that Odysseus was under more stress then Hermes knew, then again...He only had a few men left from six hundred, of course he’d be stressed and panicked. Hermes heart fluttered at being called great grandfather, he hadn't realized how much he missed it until Odysseus stopped calling him that. The trickster god stared into his great grandson’s teary filled eyes as the poor king reached out to him and said the nickname he missed even more then being called great grandfather as the child-like king started wailing. Hermes quickly swooped down and scooped the sobbing Odysseus into his arms, he held his great grandson close to his chest, swaying gently as he floated in the air in an attempt to rock the child-minded adult. 

"shh...shh, I've got you...Bubba’s got you little one it’s okay now..." Hermes soothed as he continued to rock Odysseus in his arms. The god knew he had to get Odysseus to calm down before the poor boy made himself sick and he didn't need that on top of being stressed and exhausted. he could use  Caduceus to put Odysseus to sleep but he didn't really want to force him to sleep well still upset... Hermes carefully shifted Odysseus so he was held in one arm as he summoned Caduceus and used his staff to create a magical lyre that could play itself, before quickly de-summoning his staff to hold Odysseus with both arms once more. "Doesn't that music sound lovely little lamb?" Hermes hummed as he swayed gently with Odysseus. 

Odysseus slowly started to calm down from his wailing as he heard the soft string music. "Nnnmm..." Odysseus whined softly, sniffling as he calmed down. The poor boy snuggled close to his great grandfather, resting his head against Hermes's shoulder. "Nnmm...Bubbaaa..." yawn Odysseus as his thumb made it's way into his mouth to sooth himself. "Bubba's right here Little Lamb..." Hermes whispered gently, shifting position so he could hold Odysseus in one arm and run his hand through the boy's hair with the other. "Sleep now little Cockerel, I wasn't joking about you needing a nap you're exhausted..." Hermes said quietly before continuing "I'll help you save your men once you awake, as long as you're in the right headspace that is" Odysseus slowly drifted to sleep, nine days without sleep finally catching up to him as he slept safely in his great grandfather's arms. 

Notes:

Unaware!Littles are littles who have no knowledge about age regression and they end up regressing

Cockerel = Baby Rooster

Recently found out Rams are also one of Hermès’s sacred animals so yippee! More animal nicknames!

Also it’s just a personal headcanon of mine that Odysseus stopped calling Hermes his great grandfather out of respect for the gods once he became king and that was the last time Odysseus had physically seen Hermes, but Hermes has always been watching over Odysseus

Chapter 7: CG!Penelope CG!Eurylochus Little!Odysseus Little!Polites

Summary:

Little!Odysseus has a nightmare Penelope helps

Notes:

This request is for Lilies_and_Lilacs hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Caregiver!Eurylochus wormed his way into the fic oops! But I’d be happy to do more caregiver!Eurylochus in this AU setting I think it’d be fun so feel free to request more for it if you wish!

It had been twelve years, twelve long years since her husband left for war but he had finally returned home along with the other six hundred men. It was a true miracle that her husband could return from war without losing a single man during the war or on the voyage home, Odysseus had told her there had been a close call though with a Cyclops but thanks to Lady Athena’s assistance everyone made it out safely. Her husband and the fleets had returned a week ago, Telemachus met his father, the twelve year old absolutely adoring his father asking him to retell his legendary stories about a million times in just the week since their return and she had her husband back after so many years she had the man of her dreams back with her, it was absolutely perfect! Well...Almost perfect. 

Penelope awoke to thrashing beside her, that had been a new development since her husband had returned. He had been plagued with nightmares for the entire week he's been back, she wanted to ask what they were about but left them alone for now, he had just gotten back a week ago he can explain in his own time. "mmnnnooo...Polites!" Odysseus mumbled in his sleep, thrashing about getting tangled in their blankets. Penelope’s heart broke at seeing her husband so broken, he had said Polites had almost been killed by the Cyclops they fought so Penelope had to guess that was what this nightmare was about. "Ody my love...You need to wake up, everything is okay..." Penelope reassured, gently shaking her husband’s shoulder. Odysseus bolted upright in the bed, breathing heavily and shaking, tears filling his eyes. 

"Odysseus...It’s alright, it was just a dream" Penelope soothed. Odysseus whimpered and clung close  to Penelope, letting his tears fall as he did so. "P-Pene! The scary monster got Teetee!" Odysseus sobbed. One does not go to war and come out unscathed, Odysseus and all of his men may have returned home but the amount of traumatizing experiences they carry will haunt them for the rest of their lives. Penelope can only be grateful her husband had found a safe coping mechanism to deal with the horrors, he would occasionally fall into a childlike headspace to deal with everything and she found it rather adorable with his childlike wonder. she loved her husband no matter how he acted and as such she often acted as a caregiver of sorts for him, no longer taking on the role of a loving wife but the role of a loving guardian instead and she enjoyed that role as much as being Odysseus‘s wife. 

"Oh sweetheart..." Cooed Penelope before continuing “it’s alright, the monster is gone, Teetee is safe i promise! He’s next door asleep with Eury". Odysseus wasn’t the only one who had adopted a childlike mindset, Polites among a few other crew members had as well, Eurylochus along with other members of the crew had acted as caregivers well out at sea and Eurylochus took it upon himself to become Polites official caregiver along with his wife once they arrived back home. "wanna see him! Need to make sure he’s okie! As Cap’n i-i need to make sure he’s okie!" Odysseus fusses as he tries to get out of bed. 

Penelope gently grabs his arm to stop him from getting up. "baby boy, it's okay...Let’s calm down hm?  We can check on Teetee after you calm down...Your not Captain anymore, you are not solely responsible for your old crewmates, Eury and Mene are also looking after Teetee remember?" Penelope reminded softly. Odysseus whined but stopped fussing and stayed in the bed and instead took to playing with the blanket to calm down. "There we go sweet boy..." Penelope said softly as she petted Odysseus’s hair to help him calm down, they sat in bed for a good twenty minutes before Penelope asks "Ready to go check on Teetee?". Odysseus gave a hum in reply as the two get out of bed, Odysseus gently grasping Penelope’s hand as they leave their bedroom. 

Penelope knocked softly on Eurylochus’s bedroom door and the king and queen entered when they heard a muffled “come in". Eurylochus sat up in his bed yawning as he did so, Polites asleep next to him instead of his own bed in the corner of the room. "Your majesties? Is everything alright?" Eurylochus asked at seeing the two so late at night. "Yes everything is alright, well now at least they are, Ody had a nightmare about...What almost happened to Teetee and he wanted to make sure he was okay still" Penelope informed, she knew she didn’t have to say anything about Odysseus’s change in headspace as Eurylochus could easily figure that out himself after spending twelve years at sea with him. 

Eurylochus gave a sad smile. "Well Teetee is fine see?" Eurylochus reassured as he petted Polites hair as he slept. Odysseus gave a quiet hum at seeing that Polites was okay but his eyes still shined with tears. Penelope let out a concerned noise at seeing Odysseus’s teary eyes again. "What's wrong baby boy? Teetee is fine see?" Penelope said as she wiped some tears away from Odysseus’s face as they started to fall once more. "i-i know! B-but i don’t wanna go back to sleep ‘n see the monster again..." Odysseus whimpered. Eurylochus thought for a moment before speaking. "Well...We could have a sleepover in your bedroom, your bed should be big enough to fit all four of us, if that’s all right with you, your majesty" he said this as he looked at Penelope, Odysseus bounced a bit on his toes at the thought of a sleepover “please Pene? Can Teetee ‘n Eury sleepover?" Odysseus asked. 

Penelope gave a soft smile. "Sure thing baby, i don’t see a problem with it, let’s get the bed ready well Eury wakes Teetee hm?" Penelope said before the two returned to their own bedroom to set up the bed for four people. A few minutes later Eurylochus and a sleepy Polites came into the room. Both Penelope and Odysseus were already on the bed when the two came in, Polites sleepily shuffled to the bed and flopped down beside Odysseus and gave him a hug. "I’ll chase the bad nightmares away,  Don't worry Ody, big brother’s got you..." Polites said sleepily, Odysseus only hummed and snuggled more into the hug as the two boys laid down together. Eurylochus got into the bed after Polites, having the two child minded adults sandwiched between their caregivers. "Alright i think it's time to go back to sleep everyone" Penelope said and Eurylochus hummed in agreement, Odysseus and Polites sleepily said goodnight and their caregivers returned it with their own goodnight as they all fell asleep without anymore nightmares.

Chapter 8: CG!Circe Little!Odysseus

Summary:

Circe’s attempt at seduction leads Odysseus to regressing

Notes:

This request is for existing_and_shit hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

The beginning of the fic has Circe try and seduce Odysseus but she immediately stops once she realizes Odysseus is little if you wanna skip that part, skip to “Odysseus shoved Circe backwards as he realized what she was trying to do” and read from there!

"My nymphs are like my daughters, i protect them at all costs the last time we let strangers live, we faced a heavy loss" Circe said as she was pinned against the wall with Odysseus‘s sword to her throat.  “you’ve given me no reason to bestow you with my trust” The witch continues with a smirk, carefully unpinning the top of her chiton. "but everyone’s trust colours are revealed in acts of lust..." Odysseus looked weary at the witch wondering what she was planning, he could feel the effects of the Moly wearing off leaving him feeling more tired and drained then before, perhaps facing Circe without any rest after staying awake for nine days was a bad idea but the thought of leaving his men to the witch after Poseidon left him feeling cold. "I’m not sure i follow" Odysseus said questioningly as he watched her unpin her chiton, lowering his sword slightly in confusion. 

"there are other ways of persuasion, there are other modes of control..." Circe sang as she let her magic flow in an attempt to seduce the man before her, her chiton’s front falling as the pin was undone showing off her breasts. "there are other means of deceit, there are other roads to the soul" the witch continued as she gently moved the sword fully away from herself as it was lowered in confusion earlier. Circe elegantly moved to behind Odysseus, sliding her hands down his chest and undoing his armour as she did so. "there are other opinions of passion, you have so much left to learn~ want to save your men from the fire? Show me your willing to burn~" Circe whispered seductively in his ear as she leaned down to kiss him on the cheek before she was roughly pushed back away from the man. 

Odysseus shoved Circe backwards as he realized what she was trying to do, he stumbled forward as he pushed her off and he felt his headspace crash in as he fell to the floor. "No! No! No! No! No! I can’t! Icky bad! I-I have Pene i can’t! Not allowed to be touched like that when i feel like this!" Odysseus sobbed as he brought his knees up to his chest, wrapping his arms around them to curl up into a ball, he said what he could in hopes that Circe wouldn't touch him grossly. Circe starred at the boy curled up on the floor in horror as she came to the realization that Odysseus was like her nymphs, acting like a child when upset or stressed. Circe felt disgusted with herself, it did not matter that Odysseus was a man, she had nearly forced herself onto a child...

Circe repined her chiton before carefully crouching down to Odysseus’s level. "i’m very sorry dearie, i was unaware you were feeling child-like, i shouldn't have tried to force myself onto you, your right little ones like you definitely shouldn't be doing those kinds of acts..." Circe apologized as she watched Odysseus continue to cry, she wanted to comfort him but knew touching him at the moment was a bad idea considering what caused him to go into this headspace in first place. "You said you had Pene, why don’t you tell me about her hm?" Circe asked, perhaps a distraction will help him calm down. Odysseus peaked out from his knees to stare at Circe as he continued to sob, he wasn't sure if this was another trick or not so he stayed silent. 

Circe smiled sadly at the silence. "thats alright darling you don't have to say anything if you don't want to but i do think we should move from the floor? It’s probably pretty uncomfortable sitting there" Circe said before standing from her crouched position and offered her hand to Odysseus. I'm just offering to help you up and leading you to the bed over there its far more comfortable then the floor, once your on the bed you can let go of my hand” Circe exclaimed making sure Odysseus knew she wasn't forcing herself onto him again, Odysseus sniffled a bit as his crying slowly stopped, hesitantly taking the hand Circe offered before standing up and being lead to the bed, he sat on the bed stiffly with his hands in his lap fidgeting with his fingers. 

The nine days without sleep, the Moly effecting his body and now crying made Odysseus absolutely exhausted, the only reason he hasn’t succumb to sleep yet was because he was afraid Circe might do something well he was asleep. Well she said she wouldn't touch him grossly, he had no idea if she would turn him into a pig like his men so he stayed awake just sitting on the bed. "You can rest dear, i won't do anything to you, i promise” Circe reassured softly as she stood by the bed, Odysseus shook his head and whined, tears filling his eyes once more at the pure exhaustion and fear he felt. "Noooo!!!" Odysseus cried getting more upset then before and he couldn't help but throw one of the pillows on the bed at the witch.

Circe easily dodged the pillow as it flew her way, letting out a sigh Circe put on her motherly voice she used with her nymphs before speaking. "i know your afraid and upset darling but it doesn't give you the right to throw things” Circe lightly scolded before continuing "You're tired and grumpy, you need a nap, is there anything i can do to help you rest easier?" Odysseus sobbed loudly, tugging at the blanket on the bed in tired frustration, needing to get his pent up emotions out in some other way then crying. "Want Ram-Ram!" Odysseus wailed as he continued to tug at the blanket, his emotions were so overwhelming he couldn't help but scream as he continued crying, he was so, so tired...And filled with so much grief at losing so many men to Poseidon. 

Circe’s heart broke at seeing Odysseus scream and cry, the poor boy was clearly exhausted beyond belief and was going to make himself sick if he continued crying like this. Circe concentrated her magic to the ship washed ashore on her island, magically looking through the ship to find ‘Ram-Ram’ she had guessed by the name that it was a toy of some sort, when she magically made her way to the captain’s cabin she saw a ram plush tossed onto the floor, most likely thrown there during the rough voyage to her island. Circe then teleported the plush toy to her, looking it over in her hands she saw that it was a plush toy of a ram with rooster like wings stitched onto its sides and a tortoiseshell stitched onto its back. 

A crude amalgamation of sacred animals of Hermes, it made more sense now why the trickster god would help a random mortal. it appeared that the mortal wasn't random at all but seemed to be related to her....Somewhat of a friend....It made her feel even worse for what she had originally planned to do to the boy, she knew her friend was rather fond of his descendants and she knew once he found out what her original plan had been, he wasn't going to be visiting the island for some time. She shook her head and chose not to dwell on that for the time being and instead focus on the crying child in front of her. "Dearie look what i have” Circe said sweetly in a sing-a-song voice, holding up the plushie so Odysseus could see it. 

Odysseus continued to cry and harshly tug at the blanket, better the blanket then tugging at his hair, but he looked up at Circe to see what she had, to see Ram-Ram! Odysseus choked on a sob making grabby hands towards the plushie, Circe immediately handing it over to the boy. Odysseus put one of the ram’s horns in his mouth to chew on and was soothed near instantly, his crying petering out into soft sniffles and hiccups as he felt incredibly drowsy. Circe watched as Odysseus rapidly calmed down from his near hysterical state from before, it took Circe a moment to realize that Hermes must’ve blessed the stuffed toy to allow Odysseus to fall asleep without trouble. Circe gently laid Odysseus down on the bed, the poor boy too exhausted to fight it as she carefully removed the blanket from underneath him to tuck him in properly. "Sleep well little one, I'll release your man once you awake but for now, sleep as long as you need” Circe whispered as after nine days Odysseus finally succumbed to slumber.

Chapter 9: CG!Hermes CG!Poseidon Little!Odysseus

Summary:

Odysseus regressing at the end of 600 strikes and Poseidon learns some things

Notes:

This request is for anon from my tumblr hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Poseidon is quite mean to Odysseus in the beginning but it’s not because Poseidon hates age regressors, he’s simply just the number #1 Odysseus hater/j

Poseidon fell to the ground on a little rock island that was in the sea, he had done it yet again, the idiot opened the windbag again! Poseidon couldn't help but smirk at that despite being so tired as he rested against a jagged rock on the small area. "You idiot, can't you see? You sealed your fate just to beat me! you released my storm when you opened that bag...Blocked your one way home...now you’ll never get back!" Poseidon rasped, it seemed a mix of his ultimate move and the ‘six hundred strikes’ attack from the mortal had really exhausted him, it intrigued him it wasn't often a mer mortal exhausted a god!

Poseidon looked to where Odysseus was standing a ways away from the sea god, the pathetic human was standing in place seemingly shaking in fear. "oooh where’d all your bravery go, you little coward" Poseidon mocked and took satisfaction at seeing Odysseus whimper and flinch at his words. "I don’t wan’na be brave! I just wan’na go home but you’re being a meanie and won’t let me!" Odysseus cried out. Poseidon raised an eyebrow at Odysseus’s sudden childish speaking, the god of seas knew about the act of some acting like children, his own son did so! But he did not expect the king who blinded said son to do the same. Poseidon had to quickly snuff out his caregiver urge to take care of the little king, he did not deserve that from Poseidon after blinding Polyphemus, Poseidon then shifted his position against the rock, already getting some of his energy back as he sat up more just to see the king of Ithaca crumple to the ground crying. 

"i just wan’na go home!!! I wan’na see Pene a-an’ Tele!! M‘sowwy i hurt your son! We didn’t mean-mean to kill his sheep! W-we thought they were wild! An’ then he-he broke a prom’se! An’ then he hurt Teetee!" Odysseus sobbed. Poseidon growled at hearing that, how dare he lie about what had happened. "Even like this, you dare to use your silver tongue in an attempt to lie me?!" The king of seas snarled.  Odysseus flinched hard at the anger in the words spoken by Poseidon, fresh tears pouring out of eyes as he continued to cry, feeling absolutely terrified and did the only thing he could think of doing and called out for his caregiver. "BUBBAAAA!!!!" Odysseus wailed, Poseidon cringing at how loudly the little king cried. "Don’t you remember? No mortal can pass my storm! Not like any caregiver of yours can hear you!" mocked Poseidon. 

As the earthshaker said that, he noticed something flying through the storm to where the two were on the little rock island."You're right Uncle! No mortal can pass your storm however we all know I'm no mortal!" Hermes said rather cheekily as he landed next to his great grandson, Odysseus threw himself at his caregiver, hugging him tightly and proceeded to hide behind the slightly shorter god. "Bubba...Fishy is being mean! I told him what happ’ned ‘nd he called me a lair!" Odysseus cried, Hermes had to stop himself from laughing at the nickname Poseidon had been given before he spoke. "Yes well, Fishy can definitely be mean sometimes, but sometimes he's mean because he’s protecting his family and thinks he's doing right" Hermes remarked. 

Poseidon glared at the two as he heard the nickname before retorted back, raising his voice as he did so."i am doing right! The little brat is lying about what happened still!". Odysseus tried to hide more behind Hermes as the sea god got angrier, Hermes just let out a tired sigh. "Uncle, i know it's hard to believe especially coming from me but i promise on the river styx, well in this state, little lamb here is incapable of lying, he only tells the truth" Hermes stated as he gently held Odysseus’s hand. Poseidon thought for a moment, promises on the river of styx were no joke and meant a god was being deadly serious with what they were saying. 

Poseidon stared at the fearful child-like mortal, taking in his tearful expression before sighing. "Alright...I supposed i do only know Polyphemus’s side of the story, tell me yours little king"  Poseidon exclaimed, Odysseus nodding shyly, sniffling as he started to calm down from crying as he stayed hidden behind his great grandfather. "mm...Okay s-so! we were runn’ng outta food on the way home ‘nd Teetee spotted an island! So me ‘nd Teetee went to the island! 'nd found these creatures, they kinda looked like Windy God’s friends!" Odysseus said before Hermes butted in “huh...So thats where those Winions went...Sorry for butting in darling, continue on" Odysseus pouted at being interrupted but continued on. 

"The creatures said we could find food in a cave! So we went to the cave even if it was kinda scary...'nd we killed a sheep thinkin’ it was wild! We didn’ know anyone lived there! Once i realized we killed the Cyclops’s sheep" Odysseus stopped as he was cut off again, this time Poseidon. "his name is Polyphemus" Poseidon replied. Odysseus gave a small hum in thanks, he hadn’t known the Cyclops’s name and felt bad just referring to Polyphemus as just ‘The Cyclops’ he was glad to put a name to the mythical being. "mm once i realized the mistake we made, i offered him a trade! Some of our wine for our lives ‘cause he wanted to eat us..." Odysseus shuddered as he remembered. 

"he agreed to the trade! B-but he actually lied! 'nd he tried to attack us so we fought back ‘cause we didn’t wan’na die! We didn't wan’na hurt ‘im! But we had to! We-we thought we were winning enough for him to back off b-but h-he pulled outta club ‘nd he—“ Odysseus tried continuing but choked on tears as he remembered Polites death, Hermes cooed softly and removed Odysseus from behind him to in front of him so he could hug his great grandson, deciding to continue the story for the sobbing king. "Polyphemus had struck his club to one of Little lambs best friends, Polites, it had shocked Little Prince and allowed Polyphemus to kill thirteen other men and by that point the lotus fruit that was in the wine had taken effect and Polyphemus had passed out" Hermes continued on for Odysseus. 

"i had been wanting to ask Little One, why did you put lotus fruit in the wine? You did so well sailing to Polyphemus’s island, i saw you do it so it wasn't just a spur of the moment idea on the island" Hermes asked the crying Odysseus, the little prince calmed down some before replying. "E-Eury was hav’ng trouble sleep’ng ‘nd i thought it could help..." Odysseus replied softly. "That does not explain why you simply blinded him instead of killing my child" Poseidon asked. "W-We would’ve been stuck inside the cave if we killed him instead of blinding him...We needed to get him to move..." Odysseus answered before continuing. "Momma wanted me to kill ‘im...But i couldn't...Teetee had this mindset of ‘Open Arms’ after the war ‘nd i was...Feeling fuzzy at the time too...So i let ‘im live, He-he was blind! I didn’t know he was your son! I had thought we would be okay!" Odysseus exclaimed. 

"’nd then you found us...You killed my fwiends!!! I-I said sowwy and you still killed my fwiends!" Odysseus weeped, curling himself into Hermes touch, Poseidon breathed out as he took all this information in. "i see, it seems Polyphemus left out quite a few details...He said strangers came into his home and simply killed his sheep and blinded him, but now i know you were truly unaware of the sheep belonging to somebody and that you tried to do damage control" Poseidon exclaimed before continuing “both my son, you and your men were victims in that situation and I’m...sorry, i am...Sorry i let my anger control me back then and just threw your apology out and still proceeded to kill your men, i will call off the storm and let you proceed home to your wife and your own son" 

Notes:

I’m not entirely happy with the ending of the fic, feels like it ends too abruptly, however i couldn’t figure out a good way to really end it tbh

Also my personal hcs of the lotus fruit in the wine and that Hermes had been watching Odysseus’s entire journey but could only intervene once he got to Circe’s!

Chapter 10: CG!Poseidon Little!Zeus

Summary:

Poseidon finds Zeus after god games

Notes:

This request is for anon on from my tumblr hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

This request was actually REALLY fun as before this request i didn’t think much about little!Zeus but he really could be a little!

Thunder boomed all across Mount Olympus ever since the so called God Games had concluded days ago, Athena being rushed to Apollo’s infirmary and had slowly been on the mend, well Zeus had shut himself away in his throne room forbidding anyone from seeing him. The other gods saw the god king shutting himself away as him being a sore loser to his favourite child winning the game, although him attacking said favourite child should’ve been the give away that he was pissed about losing. Well most gods had followed the rule of not disturbing the god king, Poseidon couldn't care less at this point! The thunderstorms were starting to effect the mortal world down below and scare his sea life and horses alike, the god of tides couldn't care less for the rules when his sacred animals were being startled! 

Poseidon burst into the throne room ready to start a fight if he had too, after all it was quite hard to get the god of lightning to listen especially if you were Poseidon himself, it seems out of the two older brothers Zeus listened to Hades more then he listened to Poseidon. "Zeus! stop your little temper tantrums immediately! it is starting to effect the mortals down below and startle my sacred animals which i don't appreciate!" Poseidon growled out as he scanned the throne room but saw no sight of the younger god. Poseidon stomped more into the throne room as he continued to look around. "Don’t tell me your hiding little brother~ scared you’ll lose in a fight against me?" Poseidon taunted which realistically wasn’t a good idea considering the state his niece was in, but the god of seas couldn't help it! He was pissed off at his younger brother! 

Amidst the thunder booming loudly in the room Poseidon thought he heard sobbing behind the throne, intrigued he walked towards it to figure out who else was in the throne room, To his surprise there was a child looking version of his younger brother curled up behind the throne crying. "Zeus...?" Poseidon asked in bewilderment at the tiny god, he looked to be around five or so but Poseidon had always found it difficult to gauge ages of other beings since the gods looked timeless. The miniature Zeus let out a tiny startled squeak at being found out as he looked up to his older brother with big teary eyes. " ‘Seidon!" Zeus tearfully squeaked out cowering away from his big brother. 

Poseidon just continued to stare at his younger sibling, he knew many of the other gods acted as children to relieve stress and often shrunk down to the size of an actual child to help lean into that mindset but he had no idea his own brother did the same! He looked rather adorable like this, Poseidon was quite curious on how his brother was like as a child but he never got to experience growing up with the younger god thanks to their father...

Poseidon crouched down to Zeus’s level to see eye to eye to the smaller god. "Hello there Little Lightning, i apologize for yelling earlier but your thunderstorms have started to effect the mortal world down below and I’m worried for my sacred animals" Poseidon said softly, it felt quite weird to be soft with Zeus as they more often then not, butted heads and started fights but he knew he couldn't be like that when Zeus was like this, Zeus fidgeted in place, playing with the eagle emblem on his chiton. "M’Sorry...I-I can't really control my powers...When um...When I’m upset like this..." Zeus sniffled. 

Poseidon hummed in acknowledgement, the gods often lost control of their powers when they acted younger so it made sense that Zeus would also lose control, being the most powerful. "Well...Whats got you so upset Little Eaglet?" Poseidon asked, Thunder boomed loudly in the room as Zeus let out a sob. "I hurt ‘Thena! I-I felt myself gett’in fuzzy during the game ‘nd i got mad ‘nd hurt ‘Thena!" the little god king cried out. Poseidon was surprised to hear that Zeus had been falling into the younger headspace during the game, so it seemed him attacking his favourite child wasn’t him being an asshole but simply being unable to control his emotions or powers well little, Poseidon wondered how many decisions he’s made that seemed like a dick move but was him just being in a younger headspace. 

"Well...Athena is on the mend since the game, she'll be fine in no time" Poseidon reassured before continuing “Does anyone else know you go younger sometimes?" Zeus shook his head as he wiped hid eyes, slowly calming down. "Nu-uh! You're the only one who knows!" the god of skies mumbled. Well that was slightly concerning, to have a god as powerful as Zeus go younger without anyone to look after him. "Well if you'd like, i can start looking after you when you start feeling like this" The sea god asked, Zeus’s face lit up in excitement at hearing that. "Really?! You'd do that?!" Zeus exclaimed excitedly, bouncing on his toes, Poseidon chuckled softly at seeing his younger brother so excited about having a caregiver. "Yes, i’d loved to do that Little Prince" Poseidon said as he scooped up his younger brother into a hug, Zeus melted into the hug and the loud booming thunder slowly rolled into soft rumbling instead. 

"T’ank you for look’ng after me, love you..." Zeus said sleepily as he slowly fell asleep in his older brothers hug. Poseidon stood there in silence for a few minutes, it wasn't often the gods said they loved each other, much less the brothers with how often they fought. "you’re welcome, love you too" Poseidon replied softly as his brother slept. The god of tides then quietly made his way out of the throne room to Zeus’s sleeping quarters, it’ll be much more comfortable sleeping there then the throne room, less chance of being found out as well. Once in the bedroom Poseidon carefully placed Zeus on the ginormous bed, that seemed even bigger with how tiny Zeus was. Poseidon then got in the bed next to his brother as he wasn’t planning on leaving the younger god even if he did wake up in a bigger headspace, he’d deal with being yelled at, anything for his younger brother.

Gods being able to shrink down in size to an actual child is my favourite age regression headcanon….

Chapter 11: CG!Hermes Little!Odysseus

Summary:

After seven years, Odysseus is freed from calypso’s island and ends up regressing when he sees a familiar face

Notes:

This request is for Existing_and_shit! Hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Odysseus floated on his raft away from Ogygia, the island becoming smaller and smaller in the distance as he got farther away from the dreaded island. He was finally free from that so called ‘paradise’ and Calypso, away from hands that would touch him without consent. Odysseus laid down on the raft in an attempt to get some shut eye well the sea was still calm, he didn’t need a repeat of staying awake for nine days so with a yawn he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep. 

When Odysseus awoke from dreams filled with screams, the sun had dipped below the sky, allowing Lord Helios to rest as the moon and his sister Lady Selene came out to shine in the night sky. The moonlight illuminated the seas surface as the king continued to drift along the ocean, Odysseus stared into the deep dark sea as fear slowly creeped up on him as he came to realization he was back on Lord Poseidon’s domain and there wasn't anything Odysseus could really do to stop the sea god from killing him this time. 

Odysseus let out a whimper at that thought, he didn't want to die! Everyone else was already gone but he had to make it back to Pene and Tele! Odysseus curled up, bringing his knees to his chest and wrapped his arms around them as he kept an eye out for the angry sea god, now being too afraid to go back to sleep. He was glad the angry god hadn’t attacked him yet but how long would it take until Poseidon realized Odysseus was out in his domain? 

Suddenly Odysseus heard the sound of high-pitched laughter and the king looked around in a panic trying to find where the sound was coming from. "I must say, it's a bit dangerous to be out by your lonesome hm?" a familiar voice said as Hermes suddenly appeared sitting on top of the rafts sail. Odysseus stared up at his great grandfather as he felt tears fill his eyes and his child-like headspace came crashing down, he wasn't alone anymore! Hermes was here! Odysseus let out a whine as he tried to reach for his great grandfather, he wanted to be held! He wanted to snuggle up in his great grandfather’s arms! "Bub—WAAAAAAAAH" Odysseus tried to say as he was cut off by his own wailing, seven years without seeing anyone but Calypso finally catching up to him as he broke down crying. 

Hermes quickly fluttered down from the top of the mast as the child-like king started wailing, cooing softly as he scooped up Odysseus into a hug. "oh sweetheart it's okay! I'm here now! Bubba is here..." Hermes soothed as he gently started to rock the little king, supporting Odysseus with one arm against his hip as he dug through his bottomless messenger bag with the other hand, shuffling around until he found what he was look for as he pulled out a stitched up ram plushie with rooster like wings stitched onto its sides and a tortoiseshell stitched onto its back. "Darling look what have~" Hermes said in a sing-a-song voice. 

Still crying Odysseus looked over to see what his Bubba had only to see Ram-Ram! Odysseus choked on a sob, he thought he lost Ram-Ram when Thunder Monster had attacked the ship and killed his remaining crew. "I had...Found him in the remains of your ship, patched him up nicely too!" Hermes said as he handed the plush to the sobbing little, Odysseus gently took the plush with shaking hands and stuffed one of the ram’s horns in his mouth, muffling his crying slightly as he chewed on the horn to calm down. "mm..." Odysseus mumbled as he rested his head against his great grandfather’s shoulder. 

Hermes ran his hand through his great grandsons hair and placed a kiss on his forehead before fluttering down to sit on the raft with Odysseus in his lap. "Feeling better Little Lamb?" the trickster god asked as he watched his great grandson’s tears slowly stop, leaving the little king sniffling with the occasionally hiccup. Odysseus only snuggled closer to Hermes, content with staying in his great grandfather’s lap without talking. "I’ll take that as a yes then" Hermes chuckled softly as he continued to play with the little prince’s hair, Hermes then began softly to hum a lullaby from Odysseus’s childhood. 

Odysseus whined loudly at hearing the lullaby, he didn’t wanna sleep! Why was Bubba trying to make him sleep?! "Oh none of that Little One, it's late and you need to sleep" Hermes chided softly before he went back to humming and started rocking Odysseus gently in his arms. Odysseus then started to squirm in Hermes hold in an attempt to be let go, dropping Ram-Ram in the process as the plushie fell onto the raft. "No! No sleep! Slept enough no more sleep!" Odysseus fussed as he continued to squirm, Hermes stopping humming and instead tried hushing the little with quiet soothing noises. "why don’t you want to sleep Little Cockerel?" Hermes asked quietly. 

"all i hear are screams in my sleep...I don’t wanna sleep!" Odysseus whimpered as fresh tears formed in his eyes. "Oh Darling..." Hermes said softly before continuing “You need sleep though! Sleep is important especially for the journey you have ahead of yourself, plus you have Ram-Ram now he chases the bad dreams away remember?" Odysseus hummed in acknowledgement at that as he sniffled and tears ran down his face, Ram-Ram did help with the nightmare! "So you wanna try and sleep Little Lamb?" Hermes asked softly, Odysseus quietly nodded into Hermes shoulder as Hermes gently picked Ram-Ram up, and re-blessed the plush toy as he noticed the sleeping blessing wore off, probably an effect of being struck by his father’s lightning. 

Odysseus took Ram-Ram with a sneeze as he breathed in the sparkling dust of caduceus’s blessing that was on the plush toy and he felt his eyes droop at the sudden sleepiness. With a quiet whine Odysseus clinged to Hermes tightly, scared about having anymore nightmares. Hermes cooed softly as he resumed petting Odysseus’s hair “it’s okay Love, I’ve got you...Ram-Ram will keep the nightmares away and if he doesn't i’ll be right here to wake you" Hermes reassured before going back to humming the lullaby as Odysseus slowly drifted to sleep in his Bubba’s arms. 

Notes:

The return of Ram-Ram! :D

Chapter 12: CG!Odysseus Bird!Hermes

Summary:

Hermes pet regresses after something big happens, Odysseus does his best to comfort his great grandfather

Notes:

This request is for Dianbach Hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

I couldn’t think of anything that Zeus would do to stress Hermes out so i just went straight for the extreme answer oops….

Warning:there’s mention of major character death and mention of suicide (it’s one line but still!) in this fic!

Odysseus sat on his raft waiting for his great grandfather, he still had his job as the messenger of gods so he had to leave Odysseus alone on his raft for a few hours. it wasn't that big of a deal, Odysseus was getting use to being alone again but his great grandfather was the god of speed so realistically he was never gone for an hour or two at most. But his latest message was from the God King himself for Hermes to return to Olympus and he had been gone for the whole day so far and Odysseus wasn't sure when or if his great grandfather would be back. 

Two days later Hermes all but crash landed onto the raft, startling Odysseus awake from his nap, reaching for his sword, he drew it on the god only to realize who it was. "Hermes!" Odysseus exclaimed excitedly, happy to see his great grandfather after three days. "Did...Everything go okay?" the king asked as he took in the god’s appearance, his hair was dishevelled and his sunglasses were crooked on his face, showing off his bright almost glowing green eyes which looked like they were red from crying and he simply looked exhausted to put it lightly. That worried the mortal, he had never seen his great grandfather be tired or cry before and it looked like he had been crying a lot in the past three days. "Hermes, what happened?" Odysseus asked again, more worried this time. 

Hermes didn't say anything as he let out a distressed warble and crashed into his great grandson, his form shifting into a smaller child as he did so. He hugged his great grandchild tightly as he became to sob once again. Odysseus let out a startled noise as the now smaller god crashed into him and hugged him tightly, Odysseus hugged back just as tightly hearing the gods sobs. Odysseus was growing ever more concerned but it seemed like Hermes wouldn't be giving an answer anytime soon. So the king of Ithaca just ran his hand through the tiny god’s hair in an attempt to soothe them. 

How was he supposed to tell his great grandson!? How could he tell his great grandson that the person who was able to set Odysseus free from Ogygia was now dead! How could he tell Odysseus that Athena, his mentor had died trying to set her mortal friend free?! Hermes’s big sister was dead and he didn’t know what to do! He couldn't believe that his father had actually managed to kill a god and that absolutely terrified the trickster god. Because if their father could kill his favourite child, where did that leave the rest of his children? How long until they ended up like their dear old sister? 

Hermes chirped in distress as he continued to cry, what was he supposed to do!? One of the only people left who cared about his great grandson was dead! There was no way he could tell Odysseus what had happened...The king already had a fragile mind, he was scared if he told Odysseus what happened, he’d simply just jump into his uncles domain to end himself to finally be with the ones he's lost...Hermes isn’t even sure his sister was in the underworld though, a god has never died before so the trickster god wasn't sure where they'd end up. 

Odysseus started rocking the god in his arms in an attempt to soothe the distressed tiny god, whatever had upset Hermes had upset him enough for him to go into a child like mindset. He had never seen it happen with his great grandfather but he experienced it himself on occasion from stress, Hermes had told him he had done it on occasion himself but Odysseus never got to see the god in that state until now. Odysseus started humming along with the rocking hoping it would help, he wasn't entirely how to help the child god as he was off to war before he could experience fatherhood in raising his own child. But Odysseus tried to remember how Hermes took care of him and what he did when he felt young or during his actual childhood with the god. 

 Hermes tried to focus on how Odysseus was rocking him and humming a song as he tried to calm down. He needed to calm down if he wanted to help Odysseus on this leg of his journey! Hermes took a shaky breath in but only released a sob instead of actually breathing. "Hey, shh...It’s okay, don't force yourself to calm down if you need to cry, cry it out, I’m in no rush in needing your help..." Odysseus soothed as he continued to run his hand through Hermes’s hair. Hermes sniffled at hearing that before the tears came back full force, gods...Would he ever run out of tears to cry? He doubted it,  well he and Athena were never truly close, she respected him and understood that trickery needed wisdom and applauded his use of wisdom on occasion with his trickery, he missed his big sister. 

The two just sat on the raft for a while, hugging each other as Hermes cried. Eventually Hermes cries slowly became sniffles with occasional hiccups here and there. The two did not released their embrace though, Hermes was content with staying in his great grandsons hug for as long as possible. As Hermes calmed down, Odysseus was debating on asking what happened again, he didn’t want to upset the god again but to have Hermes cry like he did scared Odysseus, something must be truly wrong if the trickster god had been crying and Odysseus wanted to know. 

In the end Odysseus decided not to ask, at least not yet, he'd wait until Hermes was back to his more adult headspace to ask. Hermes yawned as he cuddled up in the embrace with his great grandson, resting his head against Odysseus’s chest. "ooh~? Is Little Birdie tired?" Odysseus teased lightly with a soft chuckle, Hermes only mumbled something incoherently as he snuggled closer. "Alright then Little One, i guess it’s nap time" Odysseus said quietly as he started to pet Hermes wings knowing that doing it made him sleepy. Hermes cooed at the feeling of his wings being pet as he started to feel sleepy, his eyes drooping as he fell asleep and entered Hypno’s domain of sleep, leaving behind the sadness of his sister no longer being alive.  

Notes:

I’m not too happy with this fic as it doesn't really feel too much like agere but I also didn’t want Hermes to state why he was upset to Odysseus, I feel that would’ve made the fic more agere cause I could write Hermes being childish but I do think Hermes would rather keep Athena’s passing a secret at least until Odysseus got back home so I didn’t write Hermes saying what upset him

Chapter 13: CG!Polites Little!Odysseus

Summary:

Odysseus regresses after killing Astyanax, Polites finds him

Notes:

This request is for existing_and_shit hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

This isn’t really 100% to your request but I struggled with this fic so badly 😭

 

He had to do it...He had to do it or he would’ve lost Penelope and Telemachus...He had to drop the infant... Odysseus stood at the top of the wall of Troy, blearily looking down at the ground of where the heap of a bloody infant was. Odysseus stumbled back from the wall and back inside of the infants room before he collapsed into sobbing mess on the floor. He could feel his headspace crash in and he knew that wasn’t good, the war may have been won but it wouldn't be safe until they were back on the ships sailing home.

Odysseus flinched and scrambled to unsheathe his sword as he heard someone walk up the stairs to the infants room. "Odysseus?" called out a familiar voice, Polites came up the stairwell as he called out to his captain, Polites reached the top of the stairs to see Odysseus on the floor crying and shakily pointing his sword at the stairwell doorway. "Odysseus? Are you okay my friend?" Polites asked softly,  well aware of how scared Odysseus looked and probably felt. 

Odysseus whimpers at seeing his caregiver and dropped his sword with a sob. "Tátaaaa!!!" Odysseus wailed as he reached out for his caregiver, Polites immediately rushed over to the child-like adult. "Oh baby..." Polites cooed as he scooped up the crying Odysseus, bouncing him as he tried to get Odysseus to calm down. "It’s okay Little One, i’m right here" Polites soothed, Odysseus just kept sobbing as he was held by Polites. "I-I didn't wanna—i didn’t wanna do it! B-But scary Thunder Monster said Pene ‘nd Tele were gonna be hurt if i didn't! 'Nd said i-it was the w-will of the gods!" Odysseus sobbed. 

Polites looked sadly at Odysseus, he and a few others from the crew had seen Odysseus drop the baby from the tower, Polites had rushed up the tower stairwell after that, wanting to make sure Odysseus wasn’t going to do anything else drastic. Although it seemed like Odysseus wasn't even capable of doing anything else as Polites had found him on the floor of the babies room sobbing. Polites couldn't even be upset at Odysseus for killing an infant, many children had lost their lives in this war and by the sounds of it, this babies death was by the fates of the gods and no human could go against that...

Polites simply just focussed on trying to get Odysseus to calm down at this point, it would do no good if the others saw him acting like a child, they would treat him differently if they knew and not in the kind way either even when it was Odysseus’s plans that had won them the war, showing he was more then capable even if he fell into a child’s mindset on the occasion. "Shhh...I know it wasn't your fault baby...You were just doing as you were told..." Polites attempted to soothe Odysseus as he continued to cry. 

Polites looked around the nursery, trying to see if there was anything that could help Odysseus calm down. Polites had spotted some unused plush toys and Polites nabbed one, it looked to be a wolf. it certainly wasn't Odysseus’s...Weird ram amalgamation that he seemed to adore so much but it should do. "Hey baby, look at what i have~" Polites said in a sing-a-song voice as he showed off the plushie, the teary eyed child looked at what Polities was showing off and made grabby hands as he saw the wolf plush. 

Polites offered the plush toy to the child king and Odysseus immediately put one of the plush’s ears in his mouth to chew on. Slowly Odysseus started to calm down, sniffling with muffled hiccups from the plush in his mouth. "Feeling a little better hm?" Polites asked ask he ran his hand through Odysseus’s hair, the child king gave a nod as he snuggled into Polites shoulder. Polites smiled softly glad his friend was feeling slightly better, Polites once again looked around the nursery for other toys. It was a bit morbid playing with a dead babies toys but Polities didn’t think Odysseus was ready for a nap quite yet. 

Polites spotted some building blocks on a shelve, put away for when the infant was older, although now that would never happen with the baby being dead along with its parents. Polites then moved over to the shelve to grab the blocks, shifting Odysseus to one arm so he could use the other to grab the blocks from the shelve. "Why don't we play with some blocks for a bit hm?" Polites asked as he set the bag of blocks on the carpeted area of the floor before gently setting Odysseus down alongside them before sitting down himself 

Odysseus kept one hand on the plush wolf so he could keep chewing on the ear well he knocked the bag of blocks over with his other hand, wooden blocks scattering on the carpeted floor. Odysseus started stacking blocks only to knock them over with a muffled giggle as he did so, Polites simply just watched from the side, happy to see his friend be so carefree after the gruelling ten years of war. Odysseus played for a good twenty more minutes before he let out a yawn, the ear of the plush toy falling from his mouth and his eyes started to droop. 

"i think its nap time wouldn’t you agree?" Polites said quietly as he gently scooped Odysseus back up,  leaving the blocks untouched, no one was left alive to care about the messy nursery. Polites moved to the rocking chair that was in the nursery. Polites started to hum a lullaby as he sat down in the chair,  rocking Odysseus gently, trying to get him to fall asleep. He’d definitely feel better after a nap and would most likely return to his more normal adult headspace when he awoke again. Odysseus slowly started to fall asleep, the wolf plush’s ear making its way back into his mouth as he fell asleep and entered Hypnos dream realm.

Notes:

Tbh I’m thinking of limiting requests with polites, I find him incredibly difficult to write thanks to a good chunk of the fandom misinterpreting him, I could go on a rant about that but I don’t think AO3 is the place for that lol

Chapter 14: CG!Apollo Little/Owl!Athena

Summary:

Athena regresses after god games in Apollo’s infirmary and Apollo helps

Notes:

This request is for CaribbeanCoco hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Okay so!!! I’ve been going absolutely FERAL over this request since it was left/pos and decided for my own sanity since the request asked for all the gods from god games, they’d each have their own chapter so it’s more 1 on 1 with little!Athena! I am wondering if I should add CG!Zeus tho as the original request didn’t really ask for him but hmm….

But yeah the next few chapters are all technically a connecting story as they’re all from the same request!

Edit:Edited this Chapter after seeing the ithica saga premier video

Apollo stared at Athena’s unconscious form that laid in the infirmary bed, no one had expected Zeus to attack his favourite child especially with as much power as he did! Apollo did everything he could to help his big sister heal, he had been monitoring her for days and changing her bandages when needed. A week after the God Games, Athena’s eyes had slowly fluttered open and Apollo was at her side in an instant. "Athena? You're safe, you’re in my infirmary after...What father did to you" Apollo reassured Athena as he saw unshed tears fill Athena’s eyes, he certainly wasn’t use to seeing her cry. 

Athena let out a weak and miserable hoot as she struggled to sit up only to flop back down on the bed. "Hey...Take it easy..." Apollo said softly as he helped his older sister sit up, propping up pillows behind her so she could sit more comfortably. "How are you feeling? You're probably still in a lot of pain but does anywhere particular hurt more then others?" Apollo asked, Athena wrapped her arms around herself and tried to bring her knees up to her chest before she broke down sobbing. 

"My eye hurts ‘Pollo! I don’t like it! 'nd my head feels fuzzy! Don’t like it! Scary!" Athena sobbed, Apollo jumped a little at hearing Athena sob, he certainly wasn't expecting that...Until he heard her speak, she was regressed and from the sounds of it, for the first time too... "Hey shhh...It’s okay Little Sun Owlet..." Apollo soothed, looking at her scarred and blinded eye before continuing “I know it hurts Little One, i’m trying to make it better the best i can, and the fuzziness is just...To help cope with the pain is all". Athena continued to cry from the pain she was in and how scared she felt, weak hooting sounds coming out as she cried. Apollo stared at his big little sister, wondering what he could do to calm her down, her getting so worked up wasn’t going to do her health any good. 

Apollo thought for a moment before summoning his lyre and started playing a soothing lullaby that usually worked on calming any little he took care of. Athena’s crying slowly turned into sniffling with occasional hiccups as she heard the lyre music, she tearfully stared at her little big brother as he played. Athena’s thumb slowly found its way into her mouth as she listened to her brother play his music, Apollo soon finished the lullaby and de-summoned his lyre, giving a soft tsk as he saw Athena with her thumb in her mouth. "Thats yucky owlet, your fingers are covered in germs, try this instead" Apollo said as he gently removed her finger from her mouth and summoned an owl plush toy and gave it to her, Athena immediately started chewing on the wing of the owl. "Thats better hm?" Apollo asked. 

Athena gave a hum and nodded as she continued to chew on the plushie. Apollo smiled softly at his sister as he gently wiped the remaining tear streaks from her face, being careful on the scared side of her face, Athena leaned into the hand wiping her face with a muffled coo enjoying the warm touch. "There, a bit more cleaned up" Apollo said satisfied at no longer seeing any remains of an upset little before realizing the time. "You hungry Little One?" Apollo asked, Athena stopped chewing on the owl plush before replying. "Hoo! Hoo!" Athena hooted. Apollo laughed before ruffling Athena’s hair gently, grateful all the gods could understand animal speak. "I’m taking that as a yes, I'll be right back Sunshine" Apollo said before leaving the infirmary

The light god soon returned with a tray that had a goblet of nectar and a bowl of olives, Athena chirped happily at seeing the bowl of olives. "Hehe knew you'd like having some of those, i also have some nectar it should help with some of the healing as well" Apollo said as he set the tray of food on a side table by the bed. Apollo grabbed the bowl of olives and grabbed one and offered it to Athena who ate it happily, the god of light continued to do this well occasionally switching to help Athena drink from the goblet until all the olives and nectar were gone. Athena cooed happily after being fed and leaned back against the pillows more as she started to feel sleepy. 

"Feeling tired Little Wise-Owl?" Apollo said with a knowing smile, Athena hooted sleepily as she struggled to stay awake. "Just rest Owlet...You’ll heal faster if you do" Apollo said softly, Athena whined, not wanting to go to sleep but struggling to stay awake. "mmm...Don’t wannaaa! Don't wanna see Deedee sad..." Athena mumbled, Apollo sighed, he knew she was talking about the mortal she had risked her life to save, the mortal she gained a blind eye and scar for, he had seen the prophecies...Of Odysseus standing on a cliff on Ogygia, calling out to his mentor. "they’re just dreams sunshine! He’s gonna be fine, Hermes is going to tell him the news of his release!" As Apollo said this, he realized he probably should’ve mentioned Odysseus’s release sooner but he had been more occupied with calming a newly regressed Athena, so he thinks he can be forgiven. 

"Deedee is gonna be free...?" the regressed goddess of wisdom asked with a watery voice as her eyes started to tear again. "Yes, Yes! Odysseus is going to be set free you convinced father, but you wont be able to see Odysseus if you don't recover so you need to rest!" Apollo reassured quickly, hoping to avoid another crying session from the goddess, unfortunately with no such luck as Athena starts crying again. "Deedee is free! I-I saved him—!  I-I—" Athena tried to continue speaking but was cut off by her own sobbing. Apollo cooed softly before cupping the back of Athena’s head and pulling her into a hug. "You did good Sunshine...You saved your friend! He's gonna make it back home and be reunited with his family after twenty years! You'll be able to see him as well! Once you rest up most that is" Apollo reassured softly. 

Athena continued to cry as Apollo hugged her until she cried herself to sleep, mumbling incoherently in her sleep as Apollo gently set her back down on the bed, giving her a forehead kiss before gently tucking her in with the owl plushie and turning off the overhead infirmary lights to allow Athena to sleep better. Apollo then quietly left the infirmary to go watch his little brother to make sure he didn't accidentally kill the mortal Athena fought so hard for.

Chapter 15: CG!Hephaestus Little!Athena

Summary:

After God Games, Athena visits Hephaestus in his forage

Notes:

This request is for CaribbeanCoco hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Guys…don’t ask me why it took me so long to update because I don’t even know…i just struggled with this chapter so horribly…

But uhhh ithica saga premiere video…blind!Athena…. I’m gonna go back to my CG!Apollo chapter and add some bits of that to the fic as well!

Hephaestus sat in his wheelchair in his forge working on fixing Athena’s armour, spear and shield. It had been a week since Athena had awoke from her injuries during the fated God Games, it had been a week since Athena had woken up in her regressed state and hadn’t shifted back to a bigger headspace. Apollo thinks it's from the trauma she received from their father during the games and Hephaestus couldn't really blame his eldest sister for staying in that regressed state, considering what their father was like and that scar that was left behind from the game. 

Hephaestus heard the door to his forge open and tiny footsteps pitter across the floor, after waking up regressed and Apollo taking care of her, Apollo said Athena had decided to shift her form to fit her mental state better. This would be the first time Hephaestus interacted with the younger minded wisdom god. "Hello Athena" Hephaestus greeted as he spun his wheelchair around from his work to face the mentally and physically younger version of his older sister, it was weird looking at her child self  considering she was born as a full grown adult unlike the rest of them. "Hi Hepha!" Athena replied brightly, bouncing on her toes, despite her initial reaction to her regressing, Athena seemed to brighten up to it quickly, at least thats what Apollo had said. 

"What are you doing?" Athena asked, tilting her head and body to try and peak behind the god of fire. "I’m fixing up your armour and weapons" Hephaestus replied softly, Athena seemed to deflate at hearing that, immediately stopping her bouncing. "O-Oh..." Athena gloomily said, Hephaestus noticed her demeanour change at the mention of her armour and weapons. "What’s wrong Little Fire Owl?"  Hephaestus said, he wasn’t quite sure why the nickname slipped out but it felt right. Athena shifted from one foot to the next nervously before speaking. "if...You’re fixing my things...Does that mean you want Big Athena back?" Athena asked quietly. 

Hephaestus took a moment to reply, thinking about what Athena had just said. "No, it does not mean we want Big Athena back, at least not me and Apollo" The god of forages replied, Athena looked at up Hephaestus in surprise. "Really...? But i thought everybody would want Big Athena back! Everything is kinda...Fuzzy for me, i’ll be no good at being a god or doing my job!" Athena replied. "You don’t need to do your job as the goddess of wisdom, what you need to do is recover, isn’t that what Apollo said? So you could get back to your mortal?" Hephaestus said. "mm-mm...Gotta rest so i can get back to Deedee!" Athena exclaimed before continuing "B-But i figured everyone would want Big Athena back...So-So been tryin’ to get back to big headspace..."

"Oh, Little Owlet...You don’t need to do that" Hephaestus exclaimed softly, reaching out and petting Athena’s hair gently before scooping her up into his lap, Athena letting out a squeak of surprise as he did so. "Well, if i’m not going to work on your armour and weapons, how about you help me make some metal sculptures hm?" Hephaestus asked, the god and goddess had overlapping domains of sorts, Athena had handcrafting as one her many domains and most of Hephaestus’s domains fell under handcrafting so it was not un-usual for the two to work together on things, mostly armour and weapons but seeing as the tiny god didn't really want her things fixed at the moment Hephaestus thought metal sculptures were the next best thing. 

Athena’s eyes lit up at the thought of making something and she bounced in Hephaestus’s lap in excitement. "Can we?! Please! Please!" Athena asked in excitement, Hephaestus chuckled softly before wheeling over to his metalworking table. "i wouldn't have suggested it if i didn’t want to do it Little Fire Owl, so what do you want to make?" Hephaestus asked, Athena thought for a moment before speaking. "hm...A donkey!" Athena exclaimed excitedly, Hephaestus was surprised she picked his sacred animal instead of her own. "Oh? Don’t you want to make an owl?" Hephaestus asked. 

"nuh-uh! Wanna make donkey!" Athena said, Hephaestus laughed softly as he got things ready to sculpt. "Alright, we’ll make a donkey then." Hephaestus said, despite Athena’s regressed state she kept more of her adult intelligence so she knew to be careful around the tools for metal sculpting especially the hot tools. It was a bit challenging for Athena to sculpt thanks to her blinded eye but she managed not to injure herself at all well sculpting. Her donkey ended up being a bit lopsided, its body being a bit lumpy and the limbs were disproportional but she loved it anyways. 

Hephaestus’s sculpture of an owl on the other hand, looked absolutely perfect, it stood straight and was smooth, its limbs proportional but Hephaestus couldn’t say he really liked it that much. Athena stared at both sculptures and pouted a bit. "Yours looks better then mine! Mines all...Lumpy..." Athena whined. "Well, i quite like yours, it has character" Hephaestus reassured, Athena pouted more before speaking. "Nuh-uh! Your just sayin’ ta make me feel better!" The tiny god responded. 

"I’m not, i promise" Hephaestus said before continuing “it really does have character, I'm use to making sculptures look absolutely picture perfect, having your sculpture look a bit off, adds to the character of it" Athena stared at the two figures again, taking them both in once more. "Oh..." Athena said in recognition. "Well...I still like yours cause it’s an owl!" Athena giggled and Hephaestus smiled. "Well i especially like yours because its a donkey" Hephaestus said warmly. "Tank you Hepha!" Athena said before hugging him. "You’re welcome Little Fire Owl" Hephaestus replied as he hugged her back. 

"How about you go show Apollo what you made hm? I think he'd be interested in it" Hephaestus said and Athena let out an excited gasp before gently scooping up her metal sculpture. "Yeah! I hope ‘Pollo likes it, bye-bye Hepha!" Athena said as she rushed out of the forge to go find Apollo, Hephaestus giving a quick wave as she left before turning back to some unfinished projects. 

Notes:

Here’s to hoping the next update won’t take as long y’all

I was gonna have something with Hephaestus thinking about how similar he and Athena are with him being disfigured from Zeus throwing him off Olympus and Athens being blinded but I never found the right way to add it 😔

Chapter 16: CG!Aphrodite Little!Athena

Summary:

After God Games Athena looks for Ares to spar but finds Aphrodite instead

Notes:

This request is for CaribbeanCoco hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

This chapter is a bit long oop— spent a while describing the domains, my personal headcanon is that the domains are kinda like apartments for each god?? They have rooms dedicated to skills they each have but they also have more domestic rooms like bedrooms and such!

Also my take on Aphrodite is that she’s not related to Zeus (so no incest between her and Ares!) but technically a minor sea god? Based on one of the myths of her birth! Kinda like Aeolus I guess? Poseidon is known as the god of storms and Zeus is known as the god of skies well Aeolus is the god of wind, a minor god sharing traits from the two olympians (at least from my understanding!) so the same goes for Aphrodite and Poseidon! But she’s also the goddess of love and all that!

After showing Apollo her metal sculpture she made with Hephaestus, she returned to her domain to put away the sculpture and then went on her way to find Ares. Even in her more childish mental state, she wanted to spar with her big little brother! Athena first went to her brother’s domain, entering the main room of the domain that looked more like a weapon storage room then an entryway to a godly domain. She passed by her brother’s personal training area, taking a peak inside to see if he was there only to find an absolute mess of the room with no god of war in sight. She debated cleaning up the room, especially if they were going to spar! But the goddess of wisdom rather not deal with her brother being upset with her for moving his stuff so she moved on. 

The tiny god walked into the more...domestic part of the domain, sure none of the gods needed to eat or sleep but many still enjoyed those activities so most godly domains had kitchens and bedrooms along with other domestic things. Her own domain had a library filled with books she simply enjoyed reading instead of books filled with knowledge and wisdom, she also knew many gods had rooms to house some of their sacred animals, Hermes had a room for all his beloved tortoises. She continued her search for her brother, taking a look into his kitchen area to also see that a mess, did he ever clean up his domain?! With a sigh the tiny god left the kitchen to his bedroom. 

Athena gave a knock to the door, not wishing to catch her brother and his lover in...The act...As it happened in the past before, with no reply or shuffling inside, Athena gently opened the door to find Ares’s bedroom surprising clean. Athena shouldn't have been surprised though as Ares, even in his own domain had considered his bedroom a safe heaven of sorts. Somewhere to calm down from the raging bloodshed he felt during battle, that was something the war siblings had in common they both enjoyed some alone time in their bedrooms to calm down from adrenaline and the bloodshed of war. 

Not finding Ares anywhere in his own domain, Athena decided to check Aphrodite’s domain as he'd likely be there with his lover if he wasn't in his own. Athena took to the air as she’d get to the goddess of loves domain faster if she flew, she wobbled a bit in the air still getting use to her blinded side as she was in the air but she soon reached the goddess of loves domain, only stumbling a little as she landed. Entering the goddess of loves domain, it was hard to tell she was the god of love when you first stepped in as it resembled more like Poseidon’s domain but it was easy to forget Aphrodite was a god of the sea just like Poseidon. Sure a lesser god then the mighty Poseidon but still a sea god none the less.

Walking into the main room of the domain, there was a mix of sea themed trinkets and heart shaped decorations leading into the rest of the domain, more in line of an actual entryway then Ares’s domain. Athena steered clear of the rooms she knew Aphrodite kept her more...Adult things...Even if she wasn't in this child-like mindset Athena never found pleasantries in that sort of thing. Athena walked past the room where Aphrodite kept her fashion stuff, clothes, dresses and make-up the whole none yards. Now normally the goddess of wisdom wasn’t one for getting fancied up but in her child-like state, seeing the room made her feel giddy but she knew not to go in there without Aphrodite least she threw a fit. 

After exploring some more, Athena came a cross a pool area with some comfy looking couches a bit away from the pool. Athena couldn't help herself as she carefully made her way to the pool to play with the water a bit. Kneeling down to sit, the child goddess dipped her hand in the water moving it around gently watching the water ripple as she did so. Athena giggled to herself as she then splashed the pool water, watching as it sent droplets into the air before landing back into the water with mini ripples. Athena was having so much fun she didn’t even hear the goddess of love enter the room. 

"Athena?" Aphrodite asked as she saw the child form of the goddess of wisdom, all the gods were made aware of Athena’s physical and mental state after God Games by Apollo but this was the first time Aphrodite had seen Athena since the games. Athena let out an owlish screech as she was startled, slipping from the poolside into the pool. Athena flailed around in the pool before being dragged under the water by her wings, they were so heavy from the water it was difficult to swim and Athena gave a panicked screeched under the water as she struggled to swim upwards.  

Thankfully gods cannot drown so she wouldn’t exactly run out of air, allowing her to scream all she wanted under the water. It was never fun being stuck underwater and Athena could feel herself panic more the deeper she sank. Athena then saw the blurry image of Aphrodite entering the water and swimming towards her, the other goddess quickly grabbing ahold of her and swimming back to the surface. Athena gasped for air as they broke to the surface, although she didn't really need it, it was more instinct then anything else. "Oh Athena! I'm so sorry for startling you! I—" Aphrodite said worryingly before being cut off by Athena’s sobs. "Oh you poor thing...Let’s get you out of the water and dry hm?" Aphrodite cooed as she lifted Athena out of the pool and to one of the couches nearby. 

Aphrodite then summoned a towel and began to dry Athena off. "What are you doing in my domain Little Love Owl?" the goddess of love asked. "I-I was just tryin’ to find A-Ares...Wanted to s-spar...Couldn’t find him in-in his do-domain so came here to-to look" Athena stuttered out from the cold between sobs, Aphrodite gave a hum in acknowledgement before speaking. "I see, well me and My Love were on a date, that’s why you couldn't find us but i’m afraid Ares went out again after we returned, your father asked of something from him" Aphrodite said before continuing “Again, i want to apologize for startling you earlier Little One, i didn't mean to do that" 

"It-It's okay, i know you didn't m-me-mean to, t’ank you f-for helping me" Athena mumbled well sniffling as she slowly calmed down. "Tell you what Thena, we can spend some time together until Ares returns alright? After the games...A lot of us became worried about you..." Aphrodite said gently as she smiled sadly. Athena nodded her head in agreement, ever since the games Athena had felt the want to actually bond with the other gods...She wasn’t sure if it was because of her childish mindset or not but she acted on that want, thats why she went to Hephaestus earlier. "Alright then! What would you like to do Lovely?" Aphrodite said brightly as she saw Athena agree to spent time with her. 

"U-Um...Well i saw the room where you keep all your uh fashion stuff....'nd i was wondering if um... We could dress up ‘nd stuff..." Athena said, mumbling her sentence more in embarrassment as she continued speaking. Aphrodite beamed in excitement, it wasn't often Athena had come to her for fashion! "Of course we can Sweetheart! We should probably get you out of those wet clothes anyways and if you're going to be sparring with Ares later you need a better hairstyle to keep it out of your face" Aphrodite said as she took Athena’s hand and walked to the room where she kept all her fashion related things. 

Once they got to the room, Aphrodite grabbed a similar chiton to what Athena usually wears and used some magic to shrink it down to child sized before handing it to the tiny goddess. "Alright heres the changing curtain, just holler if you need some assistant alright sweetheart?" Aphrodite said. Athena nodded before going behind the curtain to change out of her wet clothing and into the dry chiton before reappearing a few minutes later. "Well don't you look lovingly! That colour really suits you Sweetie" Aphrodite complimented  before continuing “Now come sit! I’m going to brush and braid your hair"  leaving Athena blushing. "T’ank you...." Athena mumbled before going and sitting down in front of Aphrodite. 

Sure it wasn’t really the glitz and glamour Aphrodite had imagined she'd be doing the next time Athena asked for some fashion help but simplicity never hurt. The two goddesses enjoyed the silence together as Aphrodite brushed and then braided Athena’s hair, after a few minutes the goddess of love had finished. "There! All finished with your hair! Now i also have some leather armour for you so you don’t feel exposed when sparing!" Aphrodite exclaimed as she helped Athena put on the now child sized leather armour. "Ares should be back by now! So go run along and have fun sparring with My Love!" Aphrodite said giving Athena’s head a pat. Athena gave Aphrodite a hug before running out of the love goddess’s domain “Tank you Dite! Bye-bye!" Athena said as she ran off to spar with her brother.  

Notes:

So as you can see, I’m also trying out a different posting time! Before I posted my fics at 7 AM mst and now I’m aiming for 12 PM mst in hopes of reaching more people I guess? I know AO3 doesn’t have an algorithm but I’ve found my fics lately haven’t been getting much attention? (But I am grateful for any attention my fics get! I just feel like they’ve been getting buried because I post them so early in the morning) So by posting later in the day I’m hoping it’ll get seen by more people!

Chapter 17: CG!Ares Little/Owl!Athena

Summary:

After God Games Athena finally spars with Ares! But then she gets injured….

Notes:

This request is for CaribbeanCoco hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Athena made her way from Aphrodite’s domain to her own, both hers and Ares’s personal training arena’s could connect so the two could spar whenever. Athena had to stop herself from running in excitement, she had found thanks to her small form and with her being blind in one eye she tripped more easily if she ran. If she was physically and mentally an adult instead, she thinks she wouldn't have that problem but until she felt ready to be Big Athena again she had to be careful. 

Athena finally reached her domain and went straight to her training room, it was a lot tidier then her brother’s. "Ares! I wanna spar!" Athena called out and in a few seconds her brother’s training arena merged with her own, his side looked a lot more tidier as well Athena gussed he had cleaned it well she had been with Aphrodite, Ares also stood on his side of the arena,  he looked a bit surprised to see her tiny form. "Hello Athena...Are you sure you wish to spar with me when your...Like this? I still won’t hold back!" Ares exclaimed as he took in the tiny form of his older sister. "Yes! I am perfectly capable of still fightin’ like tis!" Athena retorted back. 

"Aright, alright, fight until blood is drawn?" Ares asked as he grabbed one of his swords that were around the arena. Athena gave a nod in agreement as she grabbed a spear and shield, though not her trademark ones, those were still with Hephaestus, and shrunk them down to be more child sized as she lunged at her brother. The two traded blows back and fourth for a while, managing to hit each other a few times but never drawing blood. "Well, you've proven yourself right Sister! I was not expecting you to hold up so well like this!" Ares said as he dodged a blow from Athena. "Even if i’m more...physically and mentally a child, i am still a god of war!" Athena replied as she tried to strike her brother once more. 

"Yes but I'd say your smaller form is a weakness Sister!" Ares said as he went to strike at Athena’s legs. "I wouldn't be so sure Ares!" Athena said smugly as took to the sky, flailing for a few seconds before readjusting herself as flying in her child form was difficult. Ares grinned and took off after her but with Athena’s smaller child form she was faster and stayed out of Ares’s reach. Ares growled and took a swipe at her with his talons completely forgetting about his sword, Athena gave a screech as she was almost hit but managed to dodge at the last second. Athena dropped her shield to take her own swipe at her brother with her talons, hitting him but not drawing blood. Athena hissed in frustration, she wanted to win! But she couldn't make Ares bleed! "Losing patience Sister? Thats not like you at all~" Ares taunted and with Athena being distracted in her frustration, Ares clawed at her and landed a mark on her arm, scratching with his talons and drawing golden blood. 

Athena hissed in a pain at the scratch, it was never easy to draw blood from a god usually only wounded by other gods or godly weapons. Athena’s breathing then hitched as she saw the scratch on her arm, it wasn't bad but it oozed golden blood and all Athena could think about was when Zeus had struck her down and she laid in a pool of her own blood. The tiny god started to fall from the air, too busy panicking to concentrate on flying and staying in the air, thankfully Ares caught her before she crashed into the arena floor. "Athena? Are you alright?" Ares asked as he held his panicked sister in his arms as he landed back on the ground. 

Athena whimpered as tears started to run down her face, all she could think about was the games and how mad Zeus was...How badly it hurt being attacked by her own father...She couldn’t look at the scratch, the blood...Her breathing became more uneven the more she panicked. Ares looked at his sister worryingly, he wasn't quite sure what to do or what really caused Athena to panic so suddenly. Was it the pain of the scratch? No, that couldn't be it...even in her more childish state Ares knew his sister wouldn't simply panic over the pain of a scratch. Ares looked at scratch again to see the golden blood oozing from it and how Athena stared at it. Ares remembered the day of the games and how Athena laid in a pool of her own blood.

"Hey, Hey...It’s alright, it's just a bit of blood! It can be bandaged easily" Ares said gently yet awkwardly, he wasn’t use to being soft and gentle but Athena needed that right now. Ares walked over to Athena’s side of the meshed arenas to where she kept her first aid kit, both gods had first aid kits in their respect personal arenas so they didn’t have to raid Apollo’s infirmary for supplies, but his own kit was running low so he had to use Athena’s. As he walked over,  the arenas de-merged and the two war gods were now just in Athena’s domain.

Ares opened up the first aid kit and grabbed the bandage wraps and a cloth then grabbed a jug of water that was by the first aid kit. Ares wet the cloth and dabbed the wound gently, Athena letting out a hiss of pain at the sting but surprisingly that helped drag her out of the panic she felt. Ares then gently bandaged the wound before putting everything back into the first aid kit. "There, no more blood" Ares said softly and patted Athena’s head, it was quite a weird feeling, he normally relished in blood but seeing Athena so panicked about it, it didn’t sit right with him. Athena gave a startled chirp, not expecting the head pat and Ares gave a soft chuckle at that. "Oh~? A Little Chick are you?" Ares teased, Athena swatted Ares’s hand off her head. "I am an owl, not a vulture!" Athena pouted.

Ares couldn't help but full on laugh at seeing Athena pout. "Right, my bad, Little Owlet~" Ares teased once more and received a hiss from Athena at the teasing. "Alright, no need to throw a hissy fit Owlet" Ares said before scooping up Athena once more. "Hey! You can't just pick me up without warning Ares!  Where are we even going?!" Athena screeched as she was held in Ares’s arms, Ares simply just chose to ignore her screeching and walked out of the training arena to Athena’s personal library. "I...Figured after the scare you had, i suppose i could...Deal with reading some books with you..." Ares said as they got to the library, Ares then placed Athena down on one of the couches in the library before grabbing a random book and sitting next to his sister. As Ares sat down, Athena gently curled up next to her big little brother as he started reading from the book.

Chapter 18: CG!Hera Little!Athena

Summary:

After God Games Athena has nightmare, Hera helps

Notes:

This request is for CaribbeanCoco hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Hera was walking around Mount Olympus late at night, she couldn't sleep thanks to her husbands snoring...Even when asleep Zeus could be loud...Sure none of the gods actually needed sleep but she quite enjoyed her beauty rest thank you very much. Hera continued walking down the halls of Olympus simply just listening to the sound of her children and step children sleeping. Ever since the fated God Games Hera had done quite a bit of reflecting on how she treated her children and step children...Ever since seeing Athena in her own pool of blood...She can’t help but worry about the other goddess even if she was a child of Zeus’s first marriage. she felt herself starting to care for the goddess of wisdom. 

She should’ve stopped Zeus...She had never seen her husband use that much power against anyone, and he used that much force against his favourite child, something Hera didn’t think was possible...Yes he had thrown Hephaestus off of Olympus and disfigured him, but it was well known that Zeus didn’t like Hephaestus and she had tried to stop her husband from throwing her son but she just stood by as she watched her step daughter be attacked and blinded. After that, Hera had started to think, yes most of Zeus’s children were from affairs but most of them no longer had mothers around and it really wasn't their fault Zeus had cheated. She had no real reason to hate the children besides her being angry at Zeus, she should not have been so harsh to them and let her anger get in the way of being civil with them. 

Hera passed by Athena’s domain, the goddess had discharged from Apollo’s infirmary for some time now but Hera could never bring herself visit the goddess especially after learning of Athena’s mental state. Hera wasn't quite sure she could face a child after she had come to her realization on how she treated her step children, to see a child version of a step daughter she use to hate so much...She was debating on checking in on the child goddess now as she'd most likely be asleep, it was cowardice to go and face Athena when she wasn't even awake but at least Hera would finally be able to see her. Hera quietly entered Athena’s domain, usually a god could tell when someone entered their domain but if a god was soft on their feet it was hard to tell that someone had entered their domain. 

Hera quietly and softly entered Athena’s domain, gracefully walking around the domain and checking a few rooms as she walked. Hera was aware Athena liked to stay up and read in her personal library or indulge in her secret sweet tooth that only the other gods knew about. The God Queen passed by both the library and kitchen with no child goddess in sight meaning Athena was most likely asleep in her bedroom. Hera then quietly made her way to Athena’s room, that is until she heard the sound of whimpering and crying. Hera then picked up her pace to Athena’s room, motherly instincts kicking in at the sound of a child crying. it was quite an odd feeling, to have these feelings towards Athena of all gods. 

Hera entered Athena’s bedroom swiftly yet quietly, seeing Athena toss and turn in her tree bed and crying softly in her sleep. Hera quietly made her way to Athena’s bedside, finally being able to hear what the child was crying about. "No...F-Father! I'm sorry! Táta...please! I sowwy!" Athena cried out in her sleep and Hera grimaced, it was likely Athena had been dreaming about the Games, to hear Athena plead with her father in such a child like manner thanks to her mental state made Hera’s heart hurt. Hera then gently attempted to shake Athena awake not being able to stand seeing the tiny goddess suffer any longer. "Athena, Athena Honey wake up! It's just a nightmare Sweetheart" Hera said softly. 

Athena then bolted upright with a startled cry, Hera having to dodge her wings as they also flared out as Athena was startled awake. Athena was breathing heavily and letting out panicked chirps as she tried to gather her bearings and then her eyes landed on Hera. "Mama...?" Athena whimpered out and Hera’s heart shattered at Athena thinking she was Metis. "I’m sorry Little Owlet, it’s Hera, not Metis" Hera said softly, Athena stared at Hera a bit more as she got her bearings. "Sowwy—Sorry God Queen...Forgive my mistake..." Athena said softly well sniffling before continuing “What...What are you doing in my domain so late at night? Do you need something?" Hera sighed at Athena pushing her childish mental state away simply because she was here, she then took a moment to gather her thoughts on what she wanted to tell Athena. 

"You have no need to push away your mental state Sweetie, i do not mind, Apollo did say it was to help you cope with everything yes?" Hera asked and Athena nodded before Hera continued. "As for why I’m here, i...Simply wanted to see you, i had some realizations after the Games and have been a coward on acting on those realizations so i thought visiting you well you asleep was the best option" Athena nodded again and fidgeted with her hands before speaking. "and um...What did you realize exactly if-if you don't mind me asking?" Athena asked quietly. "That I’ve been horrible and had no need to take my anger out on my step children when it is Zeus who is to blame, none of you" Hera said before continuing. "so, i apologize how i treated you in the past and wish to move forward to build a better relationship" 

"So does that mean you can be my Mommy?" Athena asked before realizing what she said and turned beet red in embarrassment. "um! uh!  F-Forget i said that please! I-I didn't mean it!" Athena then stammered out and buried her face in her hands. Hera only smiled softly and patted Athena’s hair. "Well i certainly won't be Metis nor do i want to replace her, i’d love to be your Mommy Sweetheart" Hera gently said. Tears filled Athena’s eyes as she heard what the God Queen had said,  she lifted her head from her hands to look at Hera to see if she was joking but saw no cracks in Hera’s expression just pure love, Athena then let out a sob as she reached out for Hera. "Mommy!" Athena sobbed. 

Hera cooed before gently scooping up Athena from her bed and held her gently. "It’s okay Baby, Mommy is here, Mommy’s got you..." Hera soothed as she gently rocked Athena in her arms as the little owl cried. Athena continued crying for some time before finally calming down and resting her head on Hera’s shoulder, yawning before her thumb made it’s way into her mouth. "Feeling tired Baby? How about you go back to sleep hm?" Hera asked. Athena wanted to go back to sleep but was scared to have another nightmare. "Mommy stay?" Athena mumbled thanks to the thumb in her mouth. "Yes, I'll stay right here with you Baby" Hera said softly as she pulled back the bedding on Athena’s bed to get in the bed with Athena resting on her chest, Hera then pulled up the bedding to cover the both of them. "Ni ni Mommy lov you..." Athena slurred as she fell asleep. "Goodnight Owlet, Love you" Hera whispered as she followed her step daughter into slumber. 

 

Notes:

I kinda wanted to write more about the nightmare but that didn’t happen oops, also! My little headcanon is that Odysseus got the idea to make his marriage bed for Penelope out of the olive tree where they first met because of Athena describing her domain and stuff to him one time!

Chapter 19: CG!Zeus Little!Athena

Summary:

After God Games, Zeus finally apologizes to Athena

Notes:

This request is for CaribbeanCoco hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Zeus had time to think since the fated God Games, perhaps he had gone overboard he had attacked his favourite daughter...Something he had never done before, yes he had attacked his other children and other gods but never his favourite and never to the extended power he used during the Games. At the time he had felt threatened as position of king but now he sees all his daughter wanted was for her mortal’s release. Maybe it was time to try and mend things, he had noticed he hadn’t seen his favourite daughter at all since the games despite Apollo saying she had awoken about a week ago.

Zeus got up his throne and decided for once he’d go looking for his daughter instead of summoning her to the throne room. He had a feeling that she was avoiding him and summoning her would do no good, yes she would come, she’s loyal like that but the God King doubted she'd be honest with her feelings seeing it more as an order then to actually be honest. So the King of the Gods left his throne room in search of his first daughter. First stopping at Apollo’s infirmary to see maybe she was getting checked up by the healing god, but didn't have any luck there, next he went to Hephaestus’s forge to see if she maybe was there to get her weapons and armour repaired as they took quite a bit of damage during the Games but he saw her weapons and armour just sitting there untouched by Hephaestus, the fire god saying she didn't want them fixed yet which was quite odd.

The god of thunder then ventured into both Aphrodite and Ares’s domains, the god of skies knew Aphrodite liked to drag Athena around to help her design new fashion every now and again thanks to his daughters weaving skills but found she wasn't there, nor was she sparring with Ares which was quite odd to see, he had assumed as soon as she was discharged she'd be sparring with the other war god as she was well enough to be out of the infirmary but not well enough to go see her mortal yet. Lastly he finally decided to check her own domain, she was rarely there so that's why he didn't check there first. He walked around her domain and eventually made it to her bedroom to see a child version of his daughter curled up to his wife.

Apollo had told him she had suffered some...Mental trauma from The Games but he had not expected to see a child version of the daughter who was birthed as an adult...Hera had noticed him and quietly got off the bed, giving him a stern look and telling him to be gentle with her in this state before leaving the goddess of wisdom’s domain. Zeus just stood there for a while, just watching the child version of his daughter sleep, starring at that lightning scar that now marked her and signalled to others she was blind in that eye. It was an odd feeling to see his daughter look so tiny and fragile, like he was scared to break her, to break her more, really...Zeus isn't sure how long he stood there just watching his daughter sleep peacefully until she stirred awake with a tiny yawn.

Athena sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes, she remembered last night and how Hera had stayed with her after she woke up from a nightmare. She had expected the God Queen to still be in the bed beside her only to feel the spot empty and to see her father at her bedside instead, the tiny goddess couldn't help but jump a little in surprise still a bit spooked from her nightmare, she hoped her father hadn't noticed her fearful expression. "Hello Father...Do you my assistance with something?" Athena asked as she tried to a grasp on her more adult headspace and try not to fidget with her hands out of nervousness, after all why else would her father be here? Why hadn’t he simply just summoned her if he needed her? Did she do something to upset him again if he had come looking for her?

Zeus watched as his daughter jumped in surprise at seeing him and the nervous look she had as she talked to him and he couldn't help but feel bad. He often relished in the fact that the other gods often feared him but he couldn't stand to see his daughter so afraid of him... "No, i don’t need your assistance with anything, i...Have actually come to apologize for my behaviour during The Games, i see now that it was wrong for me to lash out like i did so I'm sorry" Zeus said as he sat down on the edge of Athena’s bed before continuing. "i was so blinded by my rage i even permanently scarred you..." as Zeus said this, he cupped Athena’s face with his hand, tracing a thumb over the scarring on her face as the goddess timidly looked up at her father.

Athena couldn't help but tear up at her fathers words and the fact he was actually apologizing for what he had done. Even if he had apologized, she didn't want to push it and upset him with her younger headspace so she tried to keep a grasp on her adult one but was failing miserably as a sob ripped out of her throat. Zeus’s expression softened as he heard the child like cries from his daughter and wiped away the tears from her usable eye as he realized the blinded one shed no tears. "What’s ever the matter Mind Child of mine?" Zeus asked in a soft soothing voice.

"Táta isn't sup’ose to know bout dis! You be mad! M‘sup’ose to be big!" Athena wailed as she pulled away from Zeus and tried to hide under her covers on her bed. Zeus stared at her for a moment, so this is what Apollo meant by mental state...It had been odd seeing Athena as a child version of herself but if she acted like this, her appearance made sense. Zeus then removed the bed covers from Athena and picked her up gently, it felt strange to hold his daughter in his arms like this but not unwelcome. " Little Mind Owlet, i had caused you a great deal of trauma with The Games and if this is how you cope then that is alright" Zeus said softly as he started to sway gently in hopes of calming his daughters cries. Athena continued to cry but was slowly soothed by Zeus’s swaying and she rested against her fathers chest. The tiny goddess had become tired from her crying and couldn't help but fall back asleep even if she had just woken up, her thumb making it’s way into her mouth as she fell asleep and Zeus held his daughter as she slept.

Odysseus sat on the raft as he lifted from Calypso's island, finally free from what the goddess did to him for seven years. He sat alone on the raft drifting for days until he heard the laugh of two familiar gods, Hermes and Aeolus had appeared. Odysseus looked at the two in confusion wondering why they were here. "Hermes? Lord Aeolus? What are you two doing here? Was it one of you that talked to Calypso?" Odysseus asked as he stared at his great grandfather and the wind god. "Haha! You got that right Darling! We're here to say, you're being given one final option consider this your one last chance to make it back home" Hermes said as he floated down next to his great grandson

Aeolus followed suit floating down on a cloud they were sitting on. "Wash it away like the blood your hands have know~" Aeolus sang as they settled beside Hermes on their cloud. "I know if you dance with fate then I know, I know you'll enhance your state" Hermes exclaimed. "Well if you're plans so great, then why'd you two wait to say it?" Odysseus asked. "Well, it's a little bit dangerous my friend!" Hermes and Aeolus said in unison. "You'll need a mindset change for this! You cannot get away with playing safe, for this, you wanna get home? Put it all on the line!" Aeolus said as they spun around Odysseus on their cloud. "And put your brain in it! Remember every trick in your domain for this~ you gotta treat it like it is the main event~" Hermes enthusiastically said as he forced his great grandson to dance around the raft with him as he explained the plan. 

"Alright, I'm in, what do i need to do?" Odysseus asked as he laughed at the two gods shenanigans as they explained the plan enough to reel him into it. The two gods grinned at hearing this and Hermes went straight into explaining the plan in full detail. "When lost, look towards the sky, follow the North Star, no matter how far you think you're going, you keep on rowing" Hermes said as he used his hand as a wayfinder and helped Odysseus do the same position.

"When strangers lurk around the isle, when danger greets you with a smile, fight your way through, do what you must do but no matter what, keep moving~" Aeolus said as they transformed some of their cloud into a monsters creature that Odysseus batted away with his sheath sword. "It's gonna be dangerous, my friend you'll need a mindset change for this, you cannot get away with playing safe for this, you wanna get home? Put it all on the line, and put your whole brain in it, remember every trick in your domain for this you gotta treat it like it is the main event you wanna get home? Put it all on the line be dangerous" the two gods repeated what they said earlier that convinced Odysseus of the plan. 

"And lastly, the Windbag" Hermes said as a Winion dropped the bag into his awaiting hand. "We went through so much to get this" Hermes continued as he trembled slightly as he held the bag, he knew how much pain this bag held for his great grandson. "Keep this bag closed if you wanna get home, sir!" Aeolus's voice ran out followed by Winons "You won't get another time to try~" Hermes took a deep breath trying to calm himself before speaking again. "The raging storm inside won't let you get closer" Hermes thenstared at the bag, he really didn't want to give it to Odysseus. 
"It was meant to stop you by design~" the Winions chimed in again circling around Odysseus and the two gods. " 'Cause no mortal can pass Poseidon's storm, Open this bag, and you'll never make it home" Aeolus said sternly as they looked at Odysseus, remember the last time with the Windbag. "You'll never make it home~" both Aeolus and the Winions sang out.

"Don't you know that danger is my friend?" Odysseus said determinedly as he tried to take the Windbag from Hermes only for the trickster god not to budge on handing the bag over. "Uh Hermes? You're supposed to give the Windbag to your Little Trouble Maker" Aeolus reminded as they saw Hermes refuse to give the bag up. "Nuh-uh! It'll hu’t him! Don't want grandbaby hu’t!" the trickster god said stubbornly as they held the bag close to himself. Both Aeolus and Odysseus looked at Hermes in surprise, Aeolus knew of this odd child like headspace Hermes sometimes fell into, they took care of him after all! But they didn’t think handing over the Windbag would cause him to fall into that headspace. Odysseus was also aware of this child like headspace, some of his crew had fallen into this headspace after the war to cope with everything, he was quite surprised that his great grandfather felt this headspace as well. 

"Hermes...Birdie you need to give the bag to Odysseus..." Aeolus stated as they tried to take the bag from Hermes, only to get an earful of rooster shrieks and nearly getting decked by the trickster gods wings. "No! No! No! No bag for grandbaby! Hu’t him!" Hermes wailed as he tried to fly away with the Windbag but his motor skills well like this weren’t great, making him crash back down to the raft with a sob. "Hermes...It’s okay, i know what I'm doing, i’ll be safe" Odysseus said softly as he kneeled down beside the child-like god. Hermes then  shape shifted to actual child size and crawled into his great grandson’s lap, still holding onto the Windbag tightly. 

"Pinkie prom’se?" Hermes asked sniffling and held out his pinkie. Odysseus grimaced, he wasn't quite sure if he could promise anything...They were getting closer and closer to Ithica and Odysseus was becoming paranoid about Poseidon popping up at any moment, he could say he'll be safe all he wanted but was he really? With Poseidon will lurking around? "Pinkie promise" Odysseus said as he linked his pinkie his his great grandfathers, he was the great grandson of the trickster god, he could lie a little to bring said god some comfort... "Okay! Here you go!" Hermes cheerfully said all of a sudden as he handed the Windbag to Odysseus before snuggling closer to his great grandson and closing his eyes for a nap. Odysseus took the Windbag in surprise at Hermes sudden mood shift before handing the back off to Aeolus so they could tie it to the mast, Aeolus only laughed at Hermes mood shift, quite use it to at this point. Once they tied the Windbag securely to the mast of the raft, they settled down next to Odysseus to just relax as Hermes napped.

Chapter 21: CG!Odysseus + CG!Crew Little!Aeolus

Summary:

Odysseus and his crew play a game with Aeolus

Notes:

This request is for cerial_circus_clown hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Lotta yapping in the end notes about my absence for this fic!

Odysseus climbed down from the harpoons from Aeolia back onto his ship well the Winions carry down the wind bag and Aeolus floats down on their cloud and Odysseus gave them a confused look. "You're joining us?" Odysseus asked and Aeolus gave a playful shrug "why not! I don't have anything better to do" Aeolus chirped happily. However Odysseus didn't have time to dwell on the fact that Aeolus was joining them for the trip back to ithica when Perimedes and Elpenor drew closer. "Capitan, what happened?" Perimedes asked as he starred curiously at the bag with Elpenor. "What's trapped in that bag?" They both asked. Odysseus snatched the bag from the Winion holding it. "Something dangerous friends! We mustn't lag!" Odysseus stated.

"It's treasure!" Aeolus cheered and Odysseus looked confused on why Aeolus would lie about what's in the bag. "What...?" Odysseus breathed in disbelief as Aeolus snatched the bag from him, giggling maniacally as they floated around the ship. "Open the bag!" Perimedes called out to Aeolus "lets see what's inside!" Elpenor called out after. "No, do not! The bag has the storm inside! And it's a game with Aeolus to keep it closed!" Odysseus said to his crew and reminder to Aeolus who simply pouted but kept the bag closed. Odysseus sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Everyone listen closely, see how the bag is closed?" Odysseus asked before continuing. "That's how it's supposed to be, the bag has the storm inside, we cannot let it be open" "we'll try..." Perimedes and Elpenor said in sync. Odysseus sighed again "if you all think it's treasure that badly, we can open it once we reach home, there's no point in opening it if it was treasure anyways in the middle of the sea" Odysseus stated wisely and the crew gave murmurs of agreement at that logic.

Odysseus then walked over to where Aeolus was and grabbed the windbag from them making Aeolus pout again. "The game was to keep the bag closed and now it'll stay closed until we reach home" Odysseus said tying the windbag to his belt, Aeolus sniffled quietly as tears filled their eyes. "No fair! I wanted to keep playing!" Aeolus cried as the wind started to blow violently do to their tantrum. Odysseus cringed as the wind blew harshly around the ship. "We can play another game!" Odysseus offered and hoping the wind wouldn't reck the sails of the ship with how hard the wind was blowing. But the thought of another game seemed to calm Aeolus and the winds died down. "Really?" Aeolus sniffled with tear eyes. "We can play another game?" They continued. "Sure, it can get pretty boring on the ship anyways, those who are not on rowing duty can join in as well" Odysseus exclaimed. "Yaay!!" Aeolus cheered as they spun around Odysseus on their cloud clapping their hands happily. "What are we going to play?" Aeolus asked curiously.

"Well...the ship is big enough to play tag, we could do that" Odysseus exclaimed and Aeolus squealed in excitement. "I love tag!!" Aeolus cheered and Odysseus laughed at Aeolus's cheerfulness, he wasn't sure why they were so childish, he knew trickster gods tended to be childish to a degree but he's never seen one be this child-like before but figured treating them like a child would be the best course of action. "Alright, we can play tag but I'll be setting the rules, it wouldn't exactly be fair for you to use to your powers well the rest of us are mortal so, no powers so you must run like the rest of us" Odysseus stated and Aeolus pouted but nodded, understanding the rules. "And what does the winner get?" Aeolus asked curiously about the winning prize. Odysseus thought for a moment, they didn't have much to offer prize wise as they were low on food and other goods. "Um...bragging rights?" Odysseus offered and Aeolus thought for a moment. "Mmm....Okay!" Aeolus answered brightly as they hopped off their cloud and onto the ship's deck, their cloud disappearing into thin air once they leapt off.

Odysseus breathed a sigh of relief at Aeolus accepting the 'prize' the winner gets. "Alright then, let's start playing we'll let you be 'it' first okay?" Odysseus told Aeolus who nodded excitedly. Odysseus and the rest of the crew who wasn't busy got ready to run around the ship when Aeolus gave the signal to run and Odysseus bolted off. It was a strange feeling running on the ship with the waves crashing into the boat but Odysseus manged to stay out of Aeolus's grasp unlike the rest of his crew. Aeolus giggled all the while well tagging the crew members, even without the use of their godly powers Aeolus was rather fast! Soon enough it was just down to Aeolus and Odysseus, Odysseus manged to dodge Aeolus left and right which made them pout. "Why are you so hard to catch?! You're mortal!" Aeolus cried out as Odysseus dodged them once more.
"My great grandfather is Hermes! Of course I'm able to dodge swiftly!" Odysseus replied as he quickly avoided Aeolus once again. Aeolus huffed "that meanie! He never told me he had a great grandson! We could've been playing together long ago!!" Aeolus whined which made Odysseus laugh "well, we can play a lot more once we're home" Odysseus reassured as he dodged Aeolus again and they shrieked as they stumbled and almost went overboard. Odysseus paused for a moment to make sure they were okay. "Maybe we should call it a tie? It doesn't really seem that safe to keep playing, you're a god so you can save yourself from going overboard but the rest of us can't" Odysseus stated. Aeolus pouted again but then let out a yawn. "Fineee, it wouldn't really be fun if any of you got hurt anyways..." Aeolus said sleepily as they rubbed their eyes.

Odysseus smiled softly as he walked over to the wind. "It seems all that playing tired you out, you can rest in my cabin for a nap, how does that sound?" Odysseus asked softly. Aeolus gave a sleepy nod and Odysseus lead them to his captain's cabin after telling his crew he'd be staying with Aeolus well they napped. Once in the captain's cabin, Aeolus crawled into Odysseus's bed with a small yawn and Odysseus sat at the desk in the room, planning on trying to figure out the food situation well Aeolus slept. "Thank you for playin' with me..." Aeolus said quietly and Odysseus turned to look at them briefly with a warm smile. "Of course! It actually reminded me of playing with Hermes when I was younger..." Odysseus said softly. Aeolus gave a sleepy hum. "For playin' with me...I'll have my Winons get food for you...your men don't look too good...I could tell during tag..." Aeolus said quietly. Odysseus bowed his head at the offering "thank you wind god for your gracious gift, now you should rest" Odysseus said gently and Aeolus quickly fell asleep and Odysseus breathed with relief at not needing to worry about food.

Chapter 22: CG!Circe CG!Hermes unaware!Odysseus

Summary:

As Odysseus was about to defeat Circe, she tries a trick on him and it causes him to regress and Hermes comes to the rescue

Notes:

This request is for Apollon_the_awesome hopw you enjoy! 💛💛💛

⚠️Attempts at SA in this fic briefly, nothing really happens besides Circe starting to undress⚠️

Odysseus breathed hard as he had Circe pinned with his sword, he could feel the effects of the Holy Moly wearing off and the exhaustion of staying awake for nine days creep in but he couldn't let his gaurd down and lwt Circe win. "You lost..." Odysseus said coldly and Circe just smirked down at him. "My nymphs are like my daughters, I protect them at all costs the last time we let strangers live we faced a heavy loss" Circe said smoothly as she gently moved Odysseus's sword from pinning her before continuing. "You've given me no reason to bestow you with my trust, but everyone's true colors are revealed in acts of lust" Odysseus looked at her in confusion "I'm not sure I follow" Odysseus stated blankly, only to realize a moment too late that Circe was slowly undressing herself leading Odysseus to freeze up and a fuzzy sensation fill his mind as he called out to the only person he could think about keeping him safe. "BUBBA!!!"

Circe blinked in surprise as Hermes suddenly appeared in front of Odysseus protectively and Odysseus coward behind the trickster god. "Hermes..." Circe stated as she slowly put her clothes back on and Hermes stared at Circe. "Circe..." Hermes said coldly before continuing. "What were you about to do to my great grandbaby..." Circe gave Hermes a glare. "Your great grandson and his men washed up onto my island, you know I don't allow men to live if they stumble upon my palace..." Circe said bluntly and Hermes sighed. "My baby and his crew were just trying to flee Uncle Poseidon, they do not mean any harm, just let the men go and they'll be on their way" Hermes said, already tired of Circe. Odysseus whimpered quietly not liking that Hermes and Circe were angry at each other, he didn't like any of this! Didn't like the weird fuzzy feeling in his head! He knew his Bubba could help so Odysseus gently tugged on Hermes wing as he hid behind his great grandfather. "Bubba..." Odysseus whimpered and Hermes snapped away from Circe to look at Odysseus. "Hi Baby...don't you worry your darling little head, I'll protect you from Circe!" Hermes soothed protectively.

Odysseus sniffled and shuffled closer to Hermes, trying to stay out of Circe's view. Both Hermes and Circe were confused on Odysseus's behavior, sure Circe had been threatening before but Odysseus also hadn't seemed so scared before, he had Circe confidently pinned before she tried to pull her stunt! "Baby? What's wrong?" Hermes asked curiously and concerned, this wasn't like the confident Odysseus from earlier. "I dunno! My head feels all fuzzy 'nd I feel small! I dunno what this is Bubba but don't like it!" Odysseus sobbed and Hermes cooed and immediately turned around to give Odysseus a proper hug well wrapping his wings around his great grandbaby. Circe's shoulders fell at the realization, of what she was going to do to Odysseus well he was in this headspace. "Oh Baby...it's okay! Your brain is just dealing with a lot right now is all and this is how it handles it" Hermes soothed before giving Circe a look. They could talk about what Circe was about to do later, right now they needed to take care of Odysseus.

"I don't like it! It's scary!!" Odysseus sobbed and Hermes scooped up Odysseus. "Oh I know Baby...I know it's scary but you're safe I promise!" Hermes reassured gently as he started to sway Odysseus gently. Odysseus continued to cry but the exhaustion of staying away for nine days caught up to him rather quickly. "Nnm...wan' horsie..." Odysseus whined sleepily. Hermes knew exactly what Odysseus was talking about, it had been a childhood toy of Odysseus's but he had given it to his dear son Telemachus. When Odysseus was send out to war, baby Telemachus had the little wooden horse and waved it at Odysseus to take, not understanding his father was leaving and Odysseus  graciously took the horse as his prized possession. Hermes had watched it all go down secretly and was so very close to storming Olympus to stop his great grandbaby going to war but deep down Hermes knew he couldn't stop it.
"Darling, why don't you get this little one settled well i grab his horsie?" Hermes said as he gently handed Odysseus over to Circe who took him gently, thankfully Odysseus's fear of her seemed to vanish the more he fell into that child-like headspace. "Mama!" Odysseus babbled and Hermes froze up for a few seconds, Odysseus was not yet aware of Anticlea's passing...Circe smiled down at Odysseus sadly, well aware of his mother's passing, Hermes had crashed into her palace in despair at the news about his granddaughter. "Hello deary, let's get you ready for a nap hm?" Circe hummed softly and turned to leave to go to a bedroom in the palace well Hermes sped off to Odysseus's ship to get the wooden horse. Hermes returned shortly to find Circe with Odysseus in one of the guest rooms, Circe gave a nod when she saw Hermes enter. "I'll leave you two be, I'll...release his men from my spell and they are free to leave when Odysseus is feeling bigger" Circe stated softly as she pet Odysseus's hair softly before leaving. Odysseus babbled happily as Hermes walked over to the bed and he held out the wooden horse for Odysseus who immediately reached for it and held it close, sure it was odd he was cuddling a wooden toy instead of a plush one but if it made his baby happy, Hermes didn't care. "Alright baby, I think it's time for a nap, you really need it" Hermes said softly. Odysseus babbled again and reached for Hermes as well and the trickster god laughed softly. "Alright, I'll join you for naptime" Hermes said as he got into the bed with Odysseus who immediately cuddled up to his great grandfather before falling asleep, Hermes gently kissing his forehead as he fell asleep "sweet dreams baby" Hermes said softly 

Notes:

I have not gone to the doctors like i said i would yesterday for my ear...we have a heat wave all week so I'm trying to power through it bc the thought of leaving my house during this is a no go....

Also I've been HEAVILY addicted to Hermes calling any of his descendants "Baby" even when not regressed...he just loves them all so much UEUEUEUE

Chapter 23: CG!Citmene Little!Odysseus Little!Polites

Summary:

Citmene watches over her brother and Polites as they play around regressed

Notes:

Requested by Vampgirl236 hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

This fic is a continuation of sorts to chapter 7!

It had taken twelve long years but they had finally made it home a month ago, a few close calls in the cyclops's cave but Athena had saved them, but one does not come back from ten years of war and two years at sea unscathed. Odysseus and his crew had developed an odd coping mechanism where some of the crew acted like child well the others took care of them. Odysseus along with Polites acted like children, Odysseus acting younger well Polites took on a big brother role and Eurylochus was the one who often looked after them well on the ship. But now they were back home! Penelope and Citmene now often looked after them alongside Eurylochus, Citmene currently sat in the palace garden watching over her older but mentally younger brother and one of her lovers. Odysseus and Polites sat not too far from Citmene, Polites picking flowers well the baby minded Odysseus mindlessly picked at grass as he babbled.

"Aaababa!" Odysseus happily screeched and handed Polites a handful of grass. Polites smiled warmly and took the grass, some of the blades were big enough to weave into the flower crown he was making "thank you Ody!" Polites said cheerfully and started to weave some of the grass blades into the crown, soon enough he finished it and gently placed it on Odysseus's head. Odysseus giggled and clapped his hands at the flower crown. "Teeeteee!" Odysseus babbled and reached out to Polites who easily scooped Odysseus into his lap causing Odysseusto giggle, thanks to his short height he fit there rather easily. "Don't you look pretty Ody! A flower crown for a mighty king!" Polites exclaimed as he hugged Odysseus close who continued giggling. Citmene smiled warmly as she watched the two, figuring Polites was old enough mentally to watch Odysseus alone for a short while she called out. "Polites baby? Can you watch Ody for a few minutes well i grab snacks?" Citmene asked. "Sure thing Momma!" Polites called back, Yes they were a couple but Citmene didn't really mind Polites calling her Momma, Odysseus on the other hand she wasn't quite sure if she could deal with him calling her that ever since their mother had passed.

Citmene quickly got up and speed walked back to the palace, she didn't want to take long incase the boys hurt themselves on accident. Polites maneuvered Odysseus in his lap so he'd be easier to carry before carrying him over to where Citmene had been sitting previously, Odysseus babbling all the while. "What kinda snacks do you think Momma will bring?" Polites asked Odysseus as he booped the baby's nose, Odysseus simply just babbled before trying to put Polites's finger in his mouth. Polites gently pulled his finger away from Odysseus's mouth and handed Odysseus Ram-Ram instead. "Nuh-uh Ody, you can't chew on my finger that's icky! Have Ram-Ram instead" Polites gently scolded. Odysseus squealed happily at seeing his beloved plush and started chewing on one of the horns. Polites smiled warmly at Odysseus and tried to keep him entertained until Citmene returned. Citmene soon returned with a snack tray full of food and a bottle of milk for Odysseus. "Hi Momma!" Polites beamed as Citmene sat back down.

"Hi Baby, seems you took good care of Ody well I was gone" Citmene stated and Polites nodded enthusiastically. "I did!" Polites exclaimed brightly and Citmene smiled softly as placed the tray of food down. "Why don't you hand your brother to me to feed and you eat some snacks okay?" Citmene asked. Polites nodded and gently handed Odysseus over to Citmene and Odysseus whined as he was no longer with his big brother. "Shh you're fine Ody, let Polites eat his snacks, you can have a snack as well" Citmene said softly as she offered Odysseus the bottle which he happily drank. Polites quietly ate the fruits and dried meat on the tray until it was empty. "Why don't you go play some more well i watch over Ody? He seems ready for a nap" Citmene stated quietly as Odysseus started to doze off curled up against Citmene.

Polites nodded excitedly and got up, grabbing a stick off the ground and pretended to fight monsters, doing tricks as he attacked and making battle noises as he played. Citmene watched fondly as Polites played, remembering the fact that she almost lost him if it wasn't for the goddess Athena, she's not sure why the goddess stepped in. As from Odysseus talking about Athena over the years, she's come to realize the goddess doesn't really do relationships of any kind platonic or otherwise, Athena seemed rather closed off about friendship. No matter the goddesses change of heart, she was ever greatful to the wisdom goddess over the fact that she didn't lose her brother or her husbands. Citmene continued watching Polites play until the sun started to set and darkness creep in. "Polites, baby! It's time to go inside it's getting late!" Citmene called out. Polites looked sad, he wanted to keep playing! But he also knew it was getting late and that's when all the scary monsters came out! So he rushed over to Citmene and helped her clean up and carried everything they brought outside well Citmene carried Odysseus.

Once the three headed back inside, Citmene carried Odysseus to his and Penelope's private bathing quarter and told Polites to wash up himself before getting ready for bed. "I'll tuck you in and read you a story once I get Odysseus settled, Okay?" Citmene told Polites who nodded and headed to the private bathing quarters he shared with Citmene and Eurylochus, Polites quietly sang as he washed up and got ready for bed. Citmene carefully but swiftly got the sleeping Odysseus bathed and put in his special crib for when he felt this small, alerting one of the servants togo find Penelope so she could take over watching Odysseus. Once Penelope was watching over Odysseus, Citmene bid goodnight to her sister-in-law and headed to her own shared bedroom. Citmene smiled softly as she saw Polites all ready for bed, even with a book picked out! She kissed his forehead softly as she sat on the edge of the bed and read to him before whispering a goodnight to him as he fell asleep and then she crawled into her own bed and waited for Eurylochus to get off gaurd duty.

Notes:

YAAAY I can post again after yesterday's maintenance!

So Polites/Citmene/Eurylochus somehow wormed it's way into the AU lol yes Polites still sleeps in a separate bed for the most part, he probably moves a lot on his sleep and Eurylochus was having none of it lol

Chapter 24: CG!Penelope CG!Polites Little!Odysseus

Summary:

After Odysseus and Penelope's marriage, Odysseus starts avoiding Penelope, thankfully Polites is there to help

Notes:

This request is for Sora13 hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

;Penelope sighed as she stared at her and Odysseus's bedroom door, they had recently married and Penelope had been over the moon and she knew Odysseus felt the same or at least she thought he did. Ever since the marriage, Odysseus had been avoiding her to the best of his abilities or leaving right after if they were forced into a room together like dinner time, the only time she had seen her new husband was when they went to bed and even then Odysseus wouldn't cuddle up to her. She knew it wasn't cold feet or suddenly feeling out of love with her, she knew Odysseus had been love struck for her since the day they met so she knew it wasn't that, so she was stumped on ideas on why her husband locked himself in their bedroom.

Penelope knocked on the door once again like she had before when she found out her husband locked himself in their room by shoving furniture in front of it. "Odysseus my love, why did you lock me out? Why are you avoiding me? Did I do something wrong?" Penelope asked worried and she heard her husband's voice through the door, muffled but full of panic. "NO!! You didn't do anything wrong! It's me! I can't let you see this part of myself!" Odysseus called out, voice full of panic and fear, it also...sounded smaller to Penelope in some way... Penelope sighed again and rested her forehead against the door. "Odysseus my love, whatever you hide, you should know by now I'll love you no matter what" Penelope stated softly but fiercely, she could hear Odysseus's quiet sobs from the otherside of the door. "Please just go awa' " Odysseus whimpered and Penelope sighed in defeat, lifting her head from the door and walking away to her weaving room as she heard her husbands sobs grow louder.

A while later Polites found her in her weaving room. "Your Majesty? What are you doing by yourself? I thought Odysseus would be hanging off of you now that you two are married" Polites said with a laugh knowing all too well of his friends love for his wife. Penelope sighed tiredly before looking up from her project, she was just finishing up a blanket for Odysseus, hoping a gift would help with whatever was going on. "I thought so too Polites but, it seems ever since our marriage Odysseus has been avoiding me..." Penelope said softly as she pulled the finished blanket off her loom. "I see...I think i may know what the issue is Your Majesty but I want to talk to Ody before telling you" Polites said and Penelope nodded. "He locked himself in our bedroom, pushed some furniture up against the door to not let anyone in" Penelope stated with a frown quietly.

Polites nodded and gave a soft smile. "Thank you for telling me, I'll try and talk to him and come and get you once I'm finished" Polites said as he headed out the door, Penelope watching with a sad smile hoping Polites could help Odysseus with whatever was wrong. A half an hour passed before Polites returned, in that time Penelope had started another project, just to keep her mind and hands busy so she wouldn't worry about the current problem about Odysseus. Penelope once again looked up from her work when Polites entered and gave him a hopeful look about Odysseus, Polites gave Penelope a soft smile before sitting down in one of the other chairs in the room. "Alright so...I'll tell you what's going on,  despite Ody's worries on you judging him, i know you'd never do so" Polites said softly and Penelope listened intensely before Polites continued again. "So...sometimes when Ody feels stressed out, he acts like a child and I take care of him, i can only assume it's a traumatic response to his childhood and being crowned king at a young age" Penelope nodded hearing all of this "And us being married and being around me more caused him to stress out about finding his child-like side and be afraid of me seeing it" Penelope responsed.

Polites nodded with a hum of acknowledgment. "But I was able to speak to him and tell him to give you a chance at seeing him in that child like state so he agreed, he's actually like that now and I told him I wouldn't be long..." Polites said and Penelope nodded and got up, grabbing the blanket as she did so. "Well let's go see him then" Penelope said with a smile and soon the two were back at her and Odysseus's bedroom and Polites opened the door gently, it seemed Polites was able to sway Odysseus into moving the furniture. "I'm back Baby and I brought Penelope!" Polites exclaimed. Odysseus was sitting on their marriage bed and to Penelope he really did look small curled up on it like he was, he looked up shyly when Polites and  herself entered. "Hi Tatá...hi Pene'ope..." Odysseus mumbled shyly and Penelope couldn't help the soft smile on her face as she heard what her husband called his friend and she kneeled by the bed

"Hello my love, Polites told me about your child-like state and Polites is right, I'd never judge you for something like this, it seems like a rather healthy coping mechanism to deal with your past considering there are other much unhealthy ways you could be dealing it" Penelope said softly and Odysseus sniffled and began tearing up and Penelope started to panic until Odysseus fell off to bed and crashed into her for a hug. "PENE'OPEEEE" Odysseus sobbed. Penelope wrapped her arms around her husband and hugged him close as they sat on the floor. "Oh my love...I could never hate you for something like this...you mean everything to me" Penelope said softly as she kissed Odysseus's forehead. Polites stood back and just watched the two hug on the floor before finally speaking up after a few minutes. "You know it's rather late little one and now that Penelope knows, you can cuddle with her at night too!" Polites said cheerfully, Odysseus looked up from his hug with Penelope and pouted.

"But I'm not tired Tatá" Odysseus said with a yawn and Penelope couldn't help but giggle as she helped Odysseus back into their bed. "Your Tatá is right my love, it's best we head to bed! Then we can get up early and play if you want!" Penelope said with a smile. "Really?!" Odysseus said brightly and Penelope couldn't help but laugh "yes, really, but first we must go to bed, but before we do that, i made you this" Penelope said as she pulled out the blanket she made and wrapped it around Odysseus and gave his forehead another kiss. Odysseus stared at the blanket for a few minutes before starring at Penelope with watery eyes. "You made dis for me...?" Odysseus asked softly with a quiet sniffle. "I did, I had thought a gift might help with whatever was going on and it seems it was right, this blanket is absolutely perfect for a little one like you" Penelope said as she booped Odysseus's noise and he giggled wetly. "Now it's time for bed Little One" Polites said as he walked over to the bed and gave Odysseus a kiss on the forehead "goodnight Baby, goodnight your Majesty" Polites called out before leaving the room. "Goodnight Polites and thank you" Penelope called out as Odysseus cuddled against her with his new blanket and fell asleep, Penelope following soon after.

Chapter 25: CG!Eurylochus Wolf!Odysseus

Summary:

After washing up on the shores of an unknown island, Eurylochus tells Odysseus he opened the windbag

Notes:

This request is for Theo_fishes hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Eurylochus stared out at the sea as he stood on the unknown island they landed on after fleeing from Poseidon with the windbag thanks to Odysseus's quick thinking. Forty-three men left under his captain's command, thanks to Eurylochus's own foolishness of opening the windbag. He should've listened to Odysseus, yes his captain was a well known liar but he truly did want to get everyone home and it was rather foolish to think his captain would've kept the "treasure" that was in windbag to himself when he was already king and all he wanted was to get home to his wife and son. Eurylochus frowned, unlike his brother-in-law he didn't have anything to go back to, he honestly fully expected to die in the war and join his dear Ctimene in the afterlife however Odysseus manged to keep all six hundred men alive during the war.

Eurylochus sighed as he looked over at his captain, his brother-in-law. "Captain, I have something that I must confess, something that I must get off my chest until it is said, I cannot rest" Eurylochus said quietly not looking Odysseus in the eyes. Odysseus sat in the sand with his knees drawn up to his chest, eyes dark and haunted at the loss of most of his men. It lead him close to his headspace but he tried his hardest to not slip, his remaining crew needed their captain. "What is it Eurylochus?" Odysseus asked tiredly and full of grief. "I...opened the wind bag well you were asleep..." Eurylochus stated still not looking Odysseus in the eyes. "It's my fault that our men are dead, I should've trusted you I'm so sorry..." Eurylochus continued.

Odysseus stared at Eurylochus in shock, how could Eurylochus do that? Because of him most of their men were dead! "What...?" Odysseus said quietly not quite believing what he was hearing but someone had to have opened the windbag well he fell asleep for those few seconds. The exhaustion of staying up for nine days, the grief of losing his men and now having the knowledge on who caused it all to happen made Odysseus crumble into his headspace and he growled at Eurylochus. Eurylochus's head snapped up at hearing the growl as he looked at Odysseus, he knew of his brother-in-law's...odd headspaces of acting like a child and a wolf pup when stressed and Eurylochus really couldn't blame Odysseus for falling into that headspace, he's just glad Odysseus sent off the remaining crew to scout the island and gather whatever resources they could find, they didn't need to see their captain like this.

"Ody..." Eurylochus said softly and Odysseus lunged at Eurylochus, biting his arm. Eurylochus winced in pain, glad that even with Odysseus having the mentality of a wolf pup, he was still biologically human so the bite didn't hurt nearly as bad as it could. "Ody, Pup...I know you're upset and you have every right to be at me but we do not bite people" Eurylochus gently scolded through the pain as he scruffed the back of Odysseus's clothes to pull him off. Odysseus growled at him again, bearing his teeth in anger and Eurylochus wasn't sure what to do, he could let Odysseus just work out his anger at him but he didn't want the crew to come back and see Odysseus attacking him and lose even more trust in their captain. So Eurylochus kept Odysseus scruffed and headed back to their ship, Odysseus could get his anger out in the privacy of his captain's cabin.

Odysseus growled again when he was put down onto his bed well Eurylochus took a seat at the desk chair. Odysseus huffed and curled up away from Eurylochus "No talk to Eury, Eury bad..." Odysseus mumbled and Eurylochus could only stare at Odysseus in shame, normally he loved the nickname Odysseus gave him but it just reminded him of the betrayal he caused. Eurylochus sighed and eventually turned around to face the desk, the least he could do since he caused all of this was to look over the map and try and find their way home well Odysseus dealt with his odd headspace. Eurylochus was so caught up with looking at the map to find a way home he didn't hear Odysseus stumble off his bed and make his way to the desk until Eurylochus felt something nudge against his leg, Eurylochus looked down to see Odysseus sitting on the floor leaning against his thigh, Eurylochus gave a sad smile and petted Odysseus's hair.

"Hey Pup..." Eurylochus said softly and Odysseus leaned into the pets before whining. Eurylochus sighed before sliding off the chair and joining Odysseus on the floor who immediately curled up into his lap well Eurylochus kept up the pets. "You're not in the right headspace to talk about everything that happened so...let's just forget about it for now and just try and relax until the rest of the crew comes back" Eurylochus said gently, Odysseus barked and snuggled closer to Eurylochus. Eurylochus looked around the room to see if there was anything to keep himself occupied well Odysseus trapped him on the floor with cuddles, eventually spotting a toy ball tucked away under Odysseus's bed. Eurylochus grined before scooching closer to the bed and carefully reaching underneath the it and grabbed the ball. "Hey Pup, look what I got~" Eurylochus said in a sing-a-song tone as he showed the ball off to Odysseus, who's interest was immediately peaked, giving a rather adorable head tilt as he stared at the ball.

Eurylochus threw the ball across the room, the captain's cabin was actually a decent sized room allowing for some play and Odysseus immediately got out of Eurylochus's lap to chase the ball. Eurylochus laughed quietly as he watched Odysseus chase the ball before bringing it back over in his mouth and dropping it in front of him to throw again. Eurylochus repeatedly threw the ball with Odysseus bringing it back until Odysseus got tired and with a huff curled back up in Eurylochus's lap, Eurylochus let out a sigh of defeat knowing he'd be stuck on the floor until Odysseus woke up so he just tried to enjoy the time he had with his brother-in-law until the rest of the crew came back.

Notes:

Okay so the request was for Ody to regress when he found out about the windbag however I couldn't really get it to work during Scylla so a bit of an AU where Eurylochus confesses early!

Also Ctimene is dead, I saw that as a headcanon on tumblr and the reason why Eurylochus is the way he is!

Chapter 26: CG!Odysseus Little!Polites

Summary:

Polites was stressed about being the friend that everyone leans on and ends up regressing

Notes:

This request is for Sim_Card hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

There's bits with Eurylochus but not really enough to put him as a caregiver, still i hope you enjoy!

it was cleaning day for the fleets on the journey from Troy back to ithica. half of the crews on each ship worked on cleaning their ship well the other half of the crew explored the island they had docked on to look for food and supplies as they were running low. Polites helped cleaned around the deck on the main ship, humming a small tone as he helped clean. He had been helping everyone deal with the trauma's of war, especially Odysseus helping him try and cope with tossing a baby off of Troy's wall but he was dealing with trauma as well...even with all six hundred men making it out alive, he's seen more then any human should as a war medic, but he tried to keep strong for everyone else!

At least he was trying to hold it together but everything seemed to go wrong well cleaning! Accidentally dumping their limited cleaning supplies on himself and then accidentally knocking over the water bucket they use for cleaning onto Perimedes who then yelled at him for it! Everything was going fine until it wasn't! And Polites was reaching his limit! Polites held back tears when Eurylochus called him over, telling him Odysseus wanted to see him in his cabin Polites nodded and tried not to cry as he passed Eurylochus. No one needed to see his tears, he just had to make it through whatever his Capitan wanted then he could go below deck to his sleeping quarters and cry quietly for a few minutes before helping out again.

Polites knocked on Odysseus's cabin door, trying to keep his voice steady. "C-Capitan? Eurylochus said you wanted to see me..." Polites said trying to keep his voice from wavering and Odysseus called from the other side of the door. "Come in Polites!" Odysseus called out muffled by the door, so with a deep breath to try and calm himself Polites entered. Odysseus sat at the desk in the room with the chair turned to face the door. "Eurylochus said it seemed like you were having trouble today well cleaning as he was observing everything" Odysseus stated before softening up as he continued "are you alright Polites?" Polites quickly threw on a fake smile and put on a cheerful tone, ignoring how his eyes were still watery from almost crying. "I'm fine Capitan! It's just a bit of an off today for me, everyone has one of those from time to time but I'm fine I promise!" Polites said with too much cheerfulness in his voice and a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

Odysseus sighed as he crossed his arms and stared at Polites, coming from a well known liar, Polites was absolutely horrible at lying. "You called me Capitan, you never do that in private, what's going on Polites?" Odysseus asked gently and Polites shoulders slumped not quite sure how to lie his way out. "I'm-I'm fine Ody, like I said, just an off day for me..." Polites said with a quiet sniffle as he tried to blink back tears once more. Odysseus looked softly at Polites and beckoned him closer, Polites shuffled over before completely crumbling into Odysseus's lap with a sob. Odysseus made a struggling noise before settling Polites in his lap, it was a rather awkward fit considering Polites was taller then him but he made it work. "It's alright Polites, I've got you...I've seen you taking care of the other crew members but no one has been helping you and I'm sorry for that..." Odysseus said softly as he undid Polites's headband and put it aside on the desk before running his hand through Polites's hair.

Polites continued to cry against Odysseus for a while until he ran out of tears, he then looked up at Odysseus with big innocent watery eyes and Odysseus smiled warmly at him. During the war, quite a few crew members had developed an odd coping mechanism of acting younger when off the field to deal with the war, Polites was one of the few caregivers to those crew members but Odysseus never thought Polites would also fall into that child-like headspace. Polites babbled at him and Odysseus guessed he was in a much younger headspace then some of the crew usually were, Odysseus simply cooed at Polites before carefully getting up and moving over to his bed in the room, it would be safer for Polites then sitting in the chair with him in his lap. Polites babbled again and reached up for Odysseus's face, Odysseus gave a sad smile, remembering Telemachus before he was sent off to fight in a war he wished he wasn't apart of.

Odysseus made sure that Polites was safe on the bed before peaking out the door and calling Eurylochus over to grab Polites's things from the sleeping quarters, knowing he'd be more comfortable sleeping with his own blanket and pillow then Odysseus's. Eurylochus soon returned with Polites's bedding along with a boar plush Polites had, every crew member had some sort of keepsake from back home to remember why they were fighting and quite a few had stuffed toys including Odysseus himself! Odysseus thanked Eurylochus before sending him off to watch over the crew, Odysseus then turned back to Polites with a smile showing off the boar plush and Polites giggled as he reached up for it. Odysseus gave Polites the plush who immediately started chewing on the boar's tusk, Odysseus looked at Polites fondly as he swaddled him in his blanket and got him ready for a nap. "It's naptime Buddy~" Odysseus said quietly and Polites let out a tiny yawn before closing his eyes, Odysseus gently taking Polites glasses off and putting them with his headband on the desk. Odysseus decided a nap for himself wouldn't hurt either so he carefully moved Polites closer to the wall, making sure he stayed asleep as he did so before also getting onto the bed, it was a little cramped but it worked. Odysseus then made sure his pillow was in the right position as he pulled up his blanket, he stared at Polites for a few minutes, deciding to have a conversation with him when he felt better about allowing him to put himself first when he needs to but for now Odysseus closed his eyes and enjoyed a nap with his friend.

Notes:

I will shove Ram-Ram into every fic possible even if it’s just the slight mention of them lol I also thought giving Polites a boar plush would be cute!

Now there’s something I want to ask, some friends in a server I’m in brought up some constructive criticism and i just wanna ask, am I doing okay? Is it too confusing on who’s speaking? Any noticing of misspelling? Anything?? We were talking and I came to the realization it’s most likely a neurological issue and it’s honestly tanked my motivation to write or even talk ig? But I’m wondering if anyone else who’s read my fics have noticed anything off about my writing

Chapter 27: CG!Athena Little!Telemachus

Summary:

Athena looks after Telemachus well his parents are away

Notes:

This request is for Tigerlily_Wildflower hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Athena sighed tiredly as she entered the ithica's household, she had just returned from work at the library when Odysseus called asking her to check up on Telemachus as the poor boy came down with a cold but told his parents he'd be fine as he didn't want them to miss out on their date after Odysseus being away at war for so long. Odysseus and Penelope still went on their date but told Telemachus they'd have Athena check in on him to make sure he was doing okay. "Telemachus! I'm here!" Athena called out as she took her shoes off at the entry way and she got a tired groan in reply coming from the living room so she made her way in that direction. Peaking into the living room she saw Telemachus on the couch, buried under a pile of blankets, garbage can near by filled with tissues and a bucket beside him in case he threw up. Athena gave a sad smile at what she saw as she moved closer to the couch. "You're really not feeling well hm?" Athena hummed sympathetically as she bent down to wipe Telemachus's sweaty hair from his forehead.

Telemachus only gave another groan in reply as he leaned into Athena's touch, giving a soft sigh at the cold feeling of her hand. "How are your hands so cold? It's unnatural...but nice" Telemachus mumbled as he closed his eyes still leaning into Athena's touch. Athena bit her lip, she had been waiting to tell Telemachus about her being a goddess now that he was training under her much like his father once had been but decided against it for now, waiting until the boy wasn't sick to explain everything. "I simply just run colder then most is all" Athena lied smoothly but used some of her magic to cool Telemachus down, she couldn't heal him like Apollo could so this was the next best thing she could do. Telemachus gave a quiet hum in acknowledgment as he started to doze off as Athena kept her hand on his forehead, it was the most comfortable he had been since getting sick so he was falling asleep rather fast.

Athena waited until the boy was fully asleep before pulling her hand away and making sure he was comfortable asleep on the couch before using her godly magic to tidy up a bit since Telemachus was asleep and wouldn't see anything. After tidying up the living room Athena moved to the kitchen to make some soup for Telemachus, sure she could magic some up but she enjoyed the humanity of cooking. So she busied herself with the soup until she heard the tell tale noise of Telemachus waking up in the living room so she poked her head out from the kitchen. "Telemachus, I'm making some soup, I know you're probably not that hungry but please try and eat a little okay? It'll give you energy to get better" Athena called out softly.

Telemachus just whined and sniffled quietly "Ateena feel icky...." Telemachus whimpered and Athena frowned at Telemachus's sudden child-like behavior, she knew what it was, age regression, she had seen it with soldiers under her command as general, a way for them to cope with the stress of war. Though she had no idea what caused Telemachus's trigger to regress, perhaps it was because he was sick. Athena quickly checked on the soup to make sure it was okay to be  unattended to for a few moments before walking back into the living room. "Oh I know you feel don't feel well, I'm so sorry but I'm making some soup so you'll feel better" Athena said softly as she kneeled next to the couch and Telemachus suddenly burst into tears. "I don't wanna be sick!! Want Mama an' Papa!" Telemachus sobbed.

Athena flinched a little at Telemachus's sudden outburst, she was a general and goddess who only started to recently grasp human emotions, so she was at a loss of what to do. "I know you miss your parents Little Wolf" Athena just let the nickname slip out as she spoke. "They'll be back soon, but for now I want you to eat some soup and try to rest more" Athena continued softly as she petted Telemachus's sweaty hair for comfort. Telemachus continued crying for a few minutes with Athena comforting him until he ran out of tears, sniffling quietly as Athena grabbed some tissues to help Telemachus clean up his face. "You wanna try to get some soup in you?" Athena asked gently and Telemachus gave a tiny nod and Athena stood up. "Alright I'll be right back" Athena said as she headed back into the kitchen and dished out two bowls, gods didn't need to eat but figured eating around Telemachus could  encourage him to do so as well, she made sure Telemachus's bowl was mostly broth well hers had more noodles, vegetables and chicken before returning to the living room with both bowls.

Telemachus sat up as Athena placed his bowl of soup on the coffee table. "T'ank you..." Telemachus mumbled and Athena gave a soft smile as she turned on the TV to some kids cartoons before sitting in the arm chair by the couch and started eating her own soup. "You're welcome, you don't have to eat everything, just eat what you can okay?" Athena stated and Telemachus nodded, quietly eating his soup well watching the children's cartoon. Telemachus mostly just drank the broth then ate anything else in the soup but Athena expected it with Telemachus being so sick, once they both finished their meal Athena brought their bowls back into the kitchen to be washed later.

As Athena returned Telemachus looked at her sleepily. "Ateena...?" Telemachus asked tiredly before continuing with a yawn. "Could you grab Argos for me...?" Athena nodded and headed upstairs to Telemachus's room, Argos was a black dog plush that resembled the ithica family's late pet, Argos. Athena grabbed the plush off the bed and headed back downstairs and gave it to Telemachus who cuddled it as he let another yawn. "Try and rest more okay?" Athena said as she turned down the volume of the TV to let Telemachus rest. Telemachus yawned again as he settled down for another nap. "T'ank you for lookin' af'er me..." Telemachus mumbled as he fell asleep and Athena smiled warmly as she watched him fall asleep. "Of course..." she whispered quietly as she sat in the armchair near the couch and picked up some of Penelope's knitting supplies, hopefully she wouldn't mind Athena using some to keep herself busy.

Notes:

Weeps so much for posting for all of July sorry ya'll i just couldn't get myself to write

But this AU was fun! Though a bit difficult as I don't understand military mumbo jumbo but I wanted Athena to be the highest ranking as in this modern AU she's still a goddess! So uh hopefully I did that right!

Chapter 28: CG!Aphrodite Little!Athena

Summary:

Aphrodite helps Athena after she regresses well seeing Ares and Zeus spar

Notes:

This request is for Anonymous Little One hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Aphrodite sighed as she watched Ares and Zeus spar, she knew her love was only sparring with the God King as a way to "get back" at Zeus for harming Athena, a way to fight and go all out without getting in trouble. The aftermath of God Games shook them all, all but Zeus who saw it as a reminder to Athena and the rest of them that he is the God King. The only good thing to come out of it all was they had all grown closer well Athena had been recovering. Aphrodite smiles softly to herself as she turned her attention away from her lover to look at Athena who had also decided to sit in and watch the sparring match between her father and brother. After the games, Athena and Ares had actually gotten rather close, no longer seeing each other on opposite sides.

Athena glanced over at Aphrodite as she sensed someone's eyes on her and she gave the goddess of love a small smile before turning back to her father and brother's spar. Aphrodite also turned back to the spar, quite enjoying how Ares looked well sparring, he was holding his own well against the God King too! Of course since it was sparring neither were using their full strength, Aphrodite still found it impressive that Ares was holding his own against Zeus. At least he was until Zeus brought out his lightning, Aphrodite pouted a bit at that, it felt like cheating in a way as Ares unlike Zeus didn't have any special powers besides his dark quick thought, so Zeus using his powers when all Ares had was skill felt like a cheat win to the sparring match.

Too caught up in her pouting, Aphrodite didn't notice Athena tense up at the sight of Zeus's lightning, before she started shaking and then bolted from training arena Zeus and Ares were sparring in. Athena tripped over herself as she ran from the arena, she knew her father would be upset but she couldn't stand being around lightning after the games, her father scarred her too badly she was left blinded in one eye for goddess sake! Athena stumbled her way towards Aphrodite's domain, feeling safe there as her mind grew fuzzy and she shifted her form to look like a small child. Athena made her way towards Aphrodite's bedroom and hid under the covers of the goddess of love's bed as she continued to shake in fear.

Aphrodite turned to look at Athena to pout to her about Zeus using his powers, only to realize Athena wasn't there anymore. Aphrodite looked around confused to see if she could see the other goddess but couldn't spot her anywhere in the arena, Aphrodite shot Ares a look from where he was on the field before leaving the arena. Ares nodded as Aphrodite gave him a look before turning back to spar with Zeus who hadn't even notice Athena's absence. Aphrodite scoured Olympus looking for Athena but couldn't seem to find her anywhere, not in her library, not in her domain, she was no where. Aphrodite doubted she left to visit ithica, she wouldn't leave to visit without voicing it since she had been watching the sparring match. Aphrodite sighed as she made her way to her own domain and as she entered she could sense someone was in her domain.

Aphrodite wandered around her domain, looking in the rooms to see if she could spot whoever entered her domain. As she neared her bedroom she could hears quiet sobs coming from there and her heart clenched as she recognized the cries, it was Athena...Aphrodite quietly crept into her bedroom to see a lump on the bed, a clear sign that someone was there. "Athena...?" Aphrodite asked quietly as she walked over to the bed and gently took off the covers to the lump to see a child-sized Athena curled up and crying quietly. Aphrodite cooed softly as she saw Athena crying and sat down next to the tiny goddess "What's wrong Little Warrior?" Aphrodite asked gently as she wrapped an arm around her. Seeing Athena in this state was nothing new, ever since the games it had been her way of coping with what happened, Aphrodite and the other gods present during the games took care of her when Athena got all small and child-like, she seemed to come to Aphrodite the most when she felt like this which at first surprised the goddess of love but Aphrodite did her best to look after Athena whenever she showed up.

Athena sniffled and curled up against Aphrodite as she spoke quietly. "Lightnin' 'nd thunder scary..." Athena whimpered and Aphrodite hummed in understanding, now understanding why Athena left the arena when she did. "I see...well you're safe, the lightning and thunder can't get you here" Aphrodite soothed as she petted Athena's hair, Athena then looked up at Aphrodite with tearful eyes. "Pinky promise...?" Athena asked quietly as she held out her pinky and Aphrodite smiled softly and linked her pinky with Athena's. "Pinky promise" Aphrodite said. Aphrodite then smiled as she took the blanket Athena had previously hid under along with some of the pillows on the bed. "Say Little Warrior, why don't we build a pillow fort?" Aphrodite asked and Athena beamed with excitement as she slide off the bed to help Aphrodite.

Soon Aphrodite's bed was turned into a quite comfortable looking pillow fort, Athena bonced in excitement before both goddesses climbed into the pillow fort and Athena hugged Aphrodite. "T'ank you Pinkie...." Athena mumbled and Aphrodite smiled softly and hugged Athena back "of course Little Warrior" Aphrodite said softly. Athena then yawned and rubbed her eyes tiredly as she rested her head in Aphrodite's lap, Aphrodite pet Athena's hair with a gentle smile "i suppose it's naptime hm?" Aphrodite asked quietly and Athena just gave another yawn as she started to fall asleep. Aphrodite smiled and whistled quietly for one of her messenger doves to sent a message to Ares telling him where she and Athena where so he could join them after his sparring, Aphrodite watched the dove fly away from where she was in thr fort before closing her eyes and joining Athena for a nap.

Chapter 29: CG!Eurylochus Little!Odysseus

Summary:

Eurylochus tells Odysseus what he did leading Odysseus to regress

Notes:

This request is for XxTanio5 hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Odysseus stared out at the vast sea as he sat on the sand on the unknown island they crash landed on from opening the windbag, five hundred and forty-two men dead at the hands of Poseidon. Odysseus's eyes watered with tears, he survived a ten year war without losing a single man and now he was down to forty-three left, sniffling quietly Odysseus felt his odd child-like headspace take over, the grief of losing his men and the lack of sleep lead him to start crying silently. None of his crew besides Polites knew about this odd headspace and he didn't need to bother his crew with this as they suffered the grief of their fallen comrades.

Odysseus continued crying silently, curling up into himself as he choked on his sobs unaware of his second in command walking to him. "Capitan, i have something I must confess--" Eurylochus said as he sounded guilty of something but took a look at Odysseus and saw the state he was in. "Ody...?" Eurylochus asked softly as he stared at Odysseus in concern. Odysseus flinch and snapped his head up to look at Eurylochus with tearful eyes filled with fear. "Eury–Eurylochus– i–" Odysseus stammered sniffling and avoided eye contact of his brother-in-law. Eurylochus's eyes softened, not entirely sure what was wrong with his brother it was clear he was dealing with the lack of sleep and grief of losing his men but there was something more, something seemed younger about Odysseus.

Eurylochus sighed and easily scooped up Odysseus thanks to his height, Odysseus then let out a surprised shriek and clung to Eurylochus tightly. "E-EURY!" Odysseus cried out in panic "what're you doin'?!" Odysseus continued. Eurylochus simply walked to stuck ship in the sand and made his way to the captain's cabin. "I'm not entirely sure what's going on but, i figured some privacy would be good considering how I was in the past" Eurylochus stated. Odysseus hummed in acknowledgment as he rested his head against Eurylochus's chest. "I want Polites..." Odysseus mumbled tears filling his eyes once more and Eurylochus frowned as he placed Odysseus on his bed, kneeling down beside Odysseus's bed. "I miss him too Ody...I'm so sorry he's not here, he'd probably know what to do when you're like this huh..." Eurylochus laughed humorlessly.

Odysseus sniffled and reached out for Eurylochus and Eurylochus sighed again before sitting next to Odysseus on the bed, who immediately crawled into his lap cuddling close to his brother-in-law. Eurylochus stared at Odysseus fondly and wrapped his arms around his captain. "I'm not sure what's going on Ody but I do want to apologize for everything...for not trusting you when I should've" Eurylochus said softly and Odysseus simply cuddled closer to Eurylochus. "Mm...forgive you...for now, big me is still a bit mad at you though..." Odysseus mumbled and Eurylochus didn't really have any idea what Odysseus was talking about but as long as he wasn't currently mad Eurylochus would take it.

The two sat in silence for a long while and Odysseus started to doze off as he cuddled up to Eurylochus. The second-in-command sighed and gently shook Odysseus awake, yes Odysseus had been awake for nine days and certainly needed sleep but he wouldn't be able to sleep at night if he slept now. Odysseus whined as Eurylochus gently shook him awake "Sorry Ody, you can't sleep yet" Eurylochus said apologetically "How about we play?" He continued, not wanting Odysseus to throw a tantrum. Odysseus brighted up at the thought of playing, scrambling out of Eurylochus's lap and reaching his arm between his bed and the wall to pull out Ram-Ram from it's hiding spot.

Eurylochus had seen the plush during their childhood, an odd mesh between some of lord Hermes sacred animals. No doubt gifted by the god himself to his great grandson, though Eurylochus was unaware Odysseus brought the plush toy to war. He couldn't exactly blame his brother-in-law though as a lot of the men brought keep sakes from home as a reminder of what they were fighting for. "You wanna play with Ram-Ram?" Eurylochus asked with a smile and Odysseus nodded enthusiastically. Eurylochus smiled warmly as he watched Odysseus play with his childhood toy, he then glanced over at where Ram-Ram had been hidden to see Polites's old plush boar poking out.

Eurylochus frowned sadly as he grabbed the plush boar from the hiding spot, figuring Odysseus took it from Polites's bunk after his passing...Eurylochus stared at the plush for a few minutes, he wasn't sure what was going on with his brother-in-law and he had a feeling Polites knew what was going on, but Polites wasn't here anymore so he had to step up and take his place as Odysseus's somewhat caregiver. Eurylochus smiled softly as he moved the boar plush to play with Ram-Ram and Odysseus squealed in delight as Eurylochus played with him with Polites old plush. The two played for a while until Odysseus let out a yawn and rubbed his eyes tiredly, Eurylochus figured it's probably late enough now to let Odysseus finally fall asleep properly after nine days.

Odysseus curled back up against Eurylochus, yawning again as he held Ram-Ram close as he started to fall asleep. Eurylochus smiled softly as Odysseus fell asleep cuddled up to him, glad he didn't have to fight him on sleeping as Odysseus often did fight sleep even without the nine days of staying awake. Eurylochus settled down beside Odysseus, holding Polites's boar plush close as he pulled the blanket around him and Odysseus. Wanting Odysseus to be comfortable as he was finally able to rest after nine days as he also started to fall asleep, hoping the crew would be okay well he and Odysseus took a nap. Hopefully Odysseus would be back in a more normal headspace when he awoke, then he could ask questions about the odd headspace as Eurylochus had a feeling that Odysseus would fall into that headspace a lot more as their journey continued towards home.

Chapter 30: CG!Zeus Little!Poseidon

Summary:

Zeus goes looking for Poseidon after 600 strike and finds him regressed

Notes:

This request is for AGbugs hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Zeus sighed as he sat in his throne, news of Odysseus's return to ithica had reached Olympus thanks to Athena breaking out of Apollo's infirmary and the other gods watching as the greek made a blood bath of his palace well reuniting with his son and wife. Zeus had to admit as a king himself he admired Odysseus in a way, to get home to his palace and family, Zeus well was aware of his own loyalties to his family especially to his recently blinded daughter. Though speaking of family...Poseidon had yet to return, Zeus knew his brother had positioned himself at ithica's shores ten years ago and Zeus assumed the sea god would slunk back to Olympus or at least Atlantis once Odysseus returned home yet no word from servants or from Atlantis of his brother's return.

Zeus sighed and pinched his nose, tired of his brother's grudge and him ignoring his duties as the god of the seas for ten years. Getting up from his throne with a groan deciding to go find where his brother had gone off too with Odysseus now home, waving a hand to a servant to tell the rest of Olympus he'd be gone for a while in search for Poseidon. Zeus teleported out of Olympus with a flash of lightning, deciding to check Atlantis first incase news just hadn't reached Olympus yet, talking to Amphitrite gave no input on where Poseidon was as she said he still hadn't appeared home even with news of Odysseus's return. She was growing frustrated with her husband and abandoning their family for ten years for some greek.

Zeus nodded in thanks and with another flash of lightning he was gone, deciding to check the Underworld incase he went to Hades as both brothers had a tendency to go to the oldest for comfort even as adults. As Zeus appeared in the Underworld with a flash, he payed no mind to Odysseus's crew members that he killed walking right past them to find his eldest brother. Once finding Hades and explaining why he was here, Hades told him he hadn't seen Poseidon at all since he killed most of Odysseus's fleet and he had a stern talking to him about killing so many mortals in his anger. Zeus nodded grimly and waved a thanks to his oldest brother before disappearing in another flash of lightning.

He checked the most common places Poseidon would be, which he knows isn't a lot just two places but Poseidon doesn't exactly hide away either...with a growing frustrated sigh Zeus decided to check the shores of ithica incase he was still slunking there. So hopefully with one of the last teleports as he was getting tired, he flashed to the shores of ithica. He flew onto of the sea and looked around, he didn't notice anything at first but soon noticed a rock in the middle of the sea with an alarming amount of ichor and the sudden cries of a baby. Zeus flew towards the rock as panic filled his chest and he saw his brother, shapeshifted into a baby, fresh stab wounds littering him oozing ichor along with old scars from their father.

Zeus then spotted his brother's trident a bit away from him, covered in the golden blood, piecing together the pieces of Odysseus torturing his older brother to get home. Zeus sighed as he floated down to the rock and walked to his brother, of course he felt bad for his brother! But he also told Poseidon that pursuing Odysseus after killing most of his men would lead to nothing good and he was proven right. Zeus carefully picked up his crying older brother, being mindful of his missing arm, Poseidon continued wailing until he realized he was picked up and stared at Zeus with big watery eyes. Zeus smiled fondly down at his brother. "Oh what am I going to do with you Little One?" Zeus said softly as Poseidon simply babbled at him.

With one last flash of lightning, Zeus teleported both him and Poseidon back to Olympus, once back Zeus signaled to a servant to announce his return with Poseidon but that no one should bother them as he walked off to their private quarters. Once there Zeus placed Poseidon on his bed and took stock of Poseidon's injuries, he had no clue how long his brother had been out there for but it seemed most were healed, which was good as he didn't really want to involve Apollo well his brother was in this state. Poseidon once again babbled at him, smiling up at him and Zeus couldn't help but smile back as he carefully bandaged his brother's remaining injuries. "Aaabubbaaa!!" Poseidon squealed and reached up to Zeus's face with his one arm.

Once Poseidon was bandaged up, he scooped up his brother again, swaying him as he held him. "Hello Little Guppy~ you've caused quite a bit of trouble~" Zeus teased playfully and Poseidon only babbled again and patted Zeus's face before letting out a yawn, Zeus laughed quietly at seeing his brother so tired. "I'd say it's about nap time hm?" Zeus asked quietly and Poseidon babbled in protest not wanting to sleep yet despite being tired. "I know you don't want to sleep but it'll help you heal faster and we can play when you wake up" Zeus soothed. Poseidon still pouted but couldn't really fight the tiredness as he let out another yawn.

"Alright nap time it is" Zeus stated as he maneuvered Poseidon into one arm so he could turn his bed with a crib. Once Zeus finished fiddling with Poseidon's bed and it was turned into a crib, Zeus placed his brother inside with his little dolphin plushie. Zeus then pulled out a children's book from the bookshelf in the room and quietly read to Poseidon until he fell asleep, once he was sure Poseidon was asleep Zeus let out a tired sigh of relief. Now with Odysseus home and Poseidon found, hopefully things could get back to normal with Poseidon not abandoning his family or job, of course he'd still need to heal from the injuries Odysseus caused but that was the price he had to pay for dragging out his  revenge for so long but for now Zeus just watched his brother sleep.

Chapter 31: CG!Odysseus Little!Poseidon

Summary:

Odysseus was about to stab Poseidon to get back home, only for Poseidon to regress

Notes:

This request is for Little_Ghostly hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Odysseus breathed heavily as he stared at Poseidon's beaten form resting against the rock, catching a glimpse of his trident on the ground. "You're going to call off that storm" Odysseus said coldly as he walked closer to the trident and the exhausted god. "Or what? You can't kill me!" Poseidon shot back, glaring at Odysseus coldly. "Exactly..." Odysseus stated emotionlessly as he picked up the trident and raised it above his head. Poseidon's eyes widened in shock as he realized what Odysseus was about to do. "Wait, Wait!" Poseidon cried out before closing his eyes and curling into a ball expecting pain from his own trident but it never came.

Poseidon carefully opened his eyes, wondering why Odysseus never striked him only to realize Odysseus seemed taller and bigger...well wearing an odd hurtful expression. Poseidon then noticed he didn't have his water arm and his scars from his father were showing and Poseidon realized he regressed out of fear as he felt the fuzzy mindset creep up on him...he tried to scramble away from Odysseus still holding the trident but only manged to fall over, no longer leaning on the rock he had been resting against. "Don't...don't hurt me please..." Poseidon whimpered out as tears pooled in his eyes and ran down his face well Odysseus continued to just stare at him but he did lower the trident.

Odysseus stared at Poseidon in shock at the god's sudden child-like appearance as he lowered the trident to eventually drop it to the ground, he expected it to make a clattering sound but the trident seemingly turned into a plush toy once he let go of it and it fell to the ground with a soft thud. Poseidon quickly sat up from the ground to grab the now plush toy tightly before scrambling away from Odysseus once more. "Go 'way!" Poseidon cried out well Odysseus continued to stare at the tiny god. "Go 'way! You tried hurtin' me!" Poseidon repeated and Odysseus sighed and kneeled down to Poseidon's height but not moving closer to the tiny god.

"And you stopped me from going home, I'm all that's left Poseidon you killed my men and your brother killed who was left" Odysseus said bluntly before continuing. "I apologized for hurting your child but killing me won't fix your son's blindness" Poseidon just sniffled as he stared at Odysseus before speaking quietly. "Had to prove to everyone else m'still capable like dis! Dat ruthless'ness is mercy upon ourselves!" Poseidon cried back and Odysseus softened a little at hearing this. "And who told you this? That you needed to prove yourself, that ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves" Odysseus asked softly, Poseidon stiffened in fear and whispered shakily. "Tata..."

Odysseus couldn't help but tilt his head in confusion. "Kronos...?" Odysseus asked in confusion, he didn't know too much about the former titan king Athena nor Hermes shared much about their grandfather, Poseidon nodded timidly, still speaking quietly. "Be'fore eatin' me he use to say dat! Dat i was weak for actin' like dis 'nd dat ruthless'ness is mercy upon ourselves!" Poseidon whimpered. Odysseus looked at Poseidon softly with sadness in his eyes becoming aware of Poseidon's actions as a form of trauma by his father. "Well..." Odysseus started "Your father isn't here anymore now is he? I don't entirely think ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves, i think the world could really use open arms at times..." taking a deep breath, Odysseus then opened his arms for a hug, allowing Poseidon to choose whether or not he accepted the hug.

Poseidon stared at Odysseus for a few moments as tears welled up in his eyes before rushing over into the hug as he started sobbing. Odysseus wrapped his arms around the tiny god, giving Poseidon a tight hug as he spoke. "I am sorry for what I did to your son Poseidon but like I said before, killing me won't do any good, it's been ten years and you left him alone blinded surrounded by other cyclops who don't care for him" Odysseus said softly as he ran a hand through the tiny god's hair. "We both just want what's best for our families but I honestly don't think seeking revenge is the right thing for your family" Odysseus continued.

"I think the best thing you can do is be there for him instead of seeking out revenge...maybe move him closer to your kingdom, away from cyclops who don't care for an injured commrad" Odysseus suggested softly. Poseidon nodded against Odysseus as he listened, that did sound like a better idea and Odysseus was right he was getting tired of this. He wanted to go home to his own wife and child! But...not yet...he was rather comfortable in Odysseus's hug. The god and mortal stayed in the hug for some time as the storm from the windbag eventually died down. "You can go home now..." Poseidon said quietly as he broke away from the hug, still clutching his plush trident.

Odysseus looked up at the clear sky, free of Poseidon's storm and then back to the tiny god. "Are you going to be okay by yourself? As much as I want to get home I...I don't feel comfortable leaving a child by themselves even if you are a god..." Odysseus stated, sure he had said he'd drop another infant if it meant getting home but now as he thought about it...he wasn't sure he could, dropping Hector's child scarred him enough as is... Poseidon stared down at his trident plushie as he thought, in his ten years by the shores of ithica he remembered seeing many ships full of men, no doubt coming for the Queen of Ithica's hand in marriage. Well they were all mortal men, Poseidon knew how suitors could get when denied a hand in marriage... "No, I'm okay, you really should get home to your family! They waited long enough for you!" Poseidon said a bit urgently. Odysseus sighed and dusted himself off as he headed towards his raft that somehow survived all this. "Well then, goodbye Poseidon, I'm glad we parted ways on a somewhat good note" Odysseus said softly as he boarded his raft and drifted away to ithica.

Chapter 32: CG!Zeus CG!Hera Little!Odysseus Calf!Eurylochus

Summary:

As Zeus desends upon Odysseus and his crew, both him and Eurylochus end up regressing leading to Zeus and eventually Hera to take care of them

Notes:

This request is for Nivon hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Odysseus stared in horror as a flash of lightning struck their ship and the gaint form of Zeus appeared, Eurylochus stood beside him dripping in ichor of the immortal cow he killed. Odysseus could feel his child-like headspace creep on him as fear took over every feeling he had, he could tell Eurylochus was slipping too as he shrank into himself to appear smaller. Odysseus instinctively stood in front of Eurylochus to protect him, he may have felt small and child like but Eurylochus was only a calf! He couldn't protect himself! So Odysseus stood in front of Eurylochus as the god king, Zeus, stared down at them.

"Tell me Odysseus, who do you choose to suffer this punishment of killing Helios's cows" Zeus said coldly and Odysseus froze up, he had to choose? Zeus was making him choose again? Just like with the infant....he hadn't wanted to lose Penelope and he still doesn't! But he...he can't make a choice!! He feels so small and little and it's a big, big decision! Either he dies or his men dies! It's very scary and he feels tears well up in his eyes as he starts shaking in fear. "I...I dunno....it's scary!" Odysseus whimpers out quietly, not daring to look the king of the gods in the eyes. Zeus raises an eyebrow at Odysseus's child-like actions and then sighs, he's seen this behavior before in other mortals along with a few other gods. As the god of judgment, Zeus can't bring himself to make a child choose if he or his men should die.

"Alright Odysseus of ithica, you and your second in command are coming with me for the time being..." Zeus said sternly as he watched the one who killed Helios's cattle, he'd seen that behavior before as well, where a mortal or god acting like an animal. An odd sense of humor that the second in command seemed to act like a calf. Odysseus flinched at Zeus's stern voice but nodded timidly, grasping Eurylochus's hand before looking back at the rest of his crew "we'll be okay...C'mon Eury..." Odysseus said quietly as he lead Eurylochus onto Zeus's gaint awaiting gaint hand. With a flash of lightning the three disappeared from the ship to Olympus.

Odysseus and Eurylochus blinked in surprise when they appeared on Olympus, Odysseus still holding Eurylochus's hand tightly as Eurylochus continued to make himself as small as he could. The two looked around in surprise at Olympus, after all mortals aren't usually aloud to be among the gods, Odysseus isn't entirely sure why Zeus brought him and Eury here but he'd protect his brother even if Eury had hurt him. As the two stayed on Zeus's hand they were soon spotted by the god queen Hera who immediately stormed over to where Zeus was. "Zeus there you are! You stormed out of that meeting without reason!" Hera hissed making Odysseus and Eurylochus to cower with small whimpers. Hera turned to look at the two when she finally noticed them, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion as she looked at the two mortals and took in how they were acting.

"You stormed out of a meeting to snatch two child-minded mortals?!" Hera exclaimed loudly making Odysseus and Eurylochus flinch in fear well Zeus sighed in annoyance. "The second-in-command had slaughtered one of Helios's cattle and the captain needed to choose a punishment, him or his crew but he seemed to be in the child-like headspace well his second-in-command ironically took on an animal-like headspace so I brought them here as the captain is not in the right mind to be making those choices" Zeus stated and Hera nodded sadly in understanding, that was a difficult thing to ask of a child but the punishment still needed to be done as Helios's cattle were sacred animals. "I decided to bring them here until they were in a more clearer headspace for such decisions" Zeus said as he placed Odysseus and Eurylochus on the ground carefully before shrinking in size to be at their level, being a bit taller then Eurylochus.

Hera stared at them for a few moments before following Zeus's lead and shrinking in size to be slightly shorter then Zeus but still taller then both mortals, gently grasping Odysseus's hand. "I suppose I'll help you take care of them, i don't trust you to look after a child and an animal..." Hera remarked well Zeus just scoffed in offense as Hera started to lead Odysseus and Eurylochus away to a room to take care of them, Zeus then following behind grumbling a bit as they went. Odysseus was still scared but continued to stare in awe as they went, even his own palace never looked as luxurious as Olympus does!! Odysseus made sure to keep Eurylochus close as they walked, soon reaching a room that was filled with children toys and a few beds that could be turned into cribs along with a few toys meant for animals.

Both Odysseus and Eurylochus beamed at seeing the room, Odysseus breaking away from Hera but tugging Eurylochus along as the two explored the room, their fear momentarily forgotten at the excitement of the room. Hera's eyes softened as she watched the two and Zeus couldn't help but soften up as well as he watched alongside Hera, watching Odysseus gently tug Eurylochus along well showing him items in the room. Odysseus gently handed Eurylochus a plush cow grinning as he held it out to his brother-in-law. "It's you Eury!!" Odysseus beamed and Eurylochus took the cow plush and nibbled on the plushies ear as he cuddled up to Odysseus.

Hera smiled softly before walking into the room, kneeling down to Odysseus's height. "It seems like your friend is a bit tired, how about a nap?" Hera suggested softly. Odysseus stared up at Hera as he held Eurylochus against him, petting his head as he held his brother-in-law. "But I'll have to choose when I wake up won't I?" Odysseus stated and Hera smiled sadly as she patted Odysseus's head. "You don't worry about that right now Baby, you and your friend look pretty tired and in need of a nap" Hera said softly. Odysseus looked down at the ground, debating on sleeping, he knew how bad it would be if he stayed awake and he might make a bad option if he was tired. "Okay...Eury, time for a nap..." Odysseus mumbled gently tugging Eurylochus to one of the beds and laying down with him. Hera smiled softly and tugged the two in as Odysseus and Eurylochus cuddled up together "Everything will be okay in the end Little One" Hera said softly as the two fell asleep.

Chapter 33: CG!Polites Little!Odysseus

Summary:

Polites comforts Odysseus after a nightmare

Notes:

This request is for Cedartree hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Same AU from ch 7 and ch 23!

Polites stretched and let out a tired sigh as he got ready for bed in his shared room with his lovers, both Eurylochus and Ctimene were currently away in Same Eurylochus wanting to visit their homeland after twelve years away, Eurylochus wanted him to join as it was his homeland too but Polites had declined as Penelope and Telemachus were making a trip to Sparta around that time to finally visit after so many years and Polites didn't wish to leave Odysseus by himself with just the servants. So Polites stayed behind well his lovers and the Queen and Prince were away, he had helped Odysseus with his kingly duties around the palace well also just keeping him company as it would just be the two of them for a week.

It was honestly just nice to do all these mundane things around the palace after ten years as a war medic, it helped soothe him in a way. Polites then let out a yawn as he took off his glasses and headband and placed them on his side table, it was late though and definitely time for bed. Polites climbed into his bed and stared at his lovers bed longingly, sure they never shared a bed often thanks to Polites own starfishing and hogging of the blankets and they all certainly slept better in separate beds but Polites already missed Eurylochus's loud snores and Ctimene's sleep talking that both her and Odysseus seemed to have inherited. Well Polites figured he'd be able to sleep by himself for a week, if not he knew Odysseus wouldn't mind sharing a bed even if was rather un-kingly of him to share a bed with someone who was not his queen they had both been through too much to care about societies rules.

Polites manged to dift off to sleep after some time of starring at the ceiling, not expecting to be awoken until morning but that hadn't been the case as Polites woke up to the sound of sobbing. Polites bolted upright as he shook off his remaining sleep and quickly grabbed his glasses, completely ignoring his headband in his hast as he tumbled out of bed and made his way to the royal quarters. Night time servants and gaurds payed him no mind as he slipped into Odysseus and Penelope's room, all of them well aware of the odd bond their King and his former crew held. Polites rushed over to Odysseus's side, seeing him laying there wailing, well aware he woke up from a nightmare and quickly got to work trying to calm him seeing how Odysseus was acting rather baby like.

"Oooh you poor thing, it's alright Little Wolf~ I'm here, I'm here" Polites soothed as he crawled onto the bed to hold Odysseus, Polites rarely took on the caregiver role himself, usually also acting rather child-like in headspace but acting as an older sibling towards Odysseus but he couldn't do that with both of their main caregivers away. Odysseus whimpered and squirmed as Polites held him and Polites gently shushed him. "It's okay Ody...it was just a nightmare I'm here and I'm safe" Polites soothed as he started to gently rock Odysseus and he slowly started to calm down, looking up at Polites with big watery eyes. Polites smiled softly down at Odysseus, running a hand through his hair as he held him. "There we go~ all nice and calm now hm~" Polites said softly and Odysseus babbled at him.

Odysseus continued to babble at Polites before reaching up and snatching his glasses, Polites laughed softly as he did so. "Hey now~ I need those~" Polites said playfully as he gently took his glasses back from Odysseus leading him to whimper as the glasses were taken, Polites shushed him softly and shuffled around for the rooster plush Odysseus owned. It wasn't as welled loved as Ram-Ram but Odysseus had leant Ram-Ram to Telemachus when he and Penelope went off to Sparta. Odysseus grasped the rooster plush tightly, chewing on the plush as he held it close and Polites smiled warmly as he watched Odysseus.

"Well, i have a feeling you won't want to sleep for a bit because of your nightmare, so how about a snack?" Polites suggested as he booped Odysseus's nose and he giggled as Polites bopped him. Polites then softly called out to the night time servants and asked them to bring some easy snacks for Odysseus and the servant nodded before doing as ordered, returning shortly with a tray of snacks. Polites gave thanks well Odysseus babbled happily and the servant left the room once more, Polites picked up a piece of fruit and offered it to Odysseus. "Open up Little Wolf~" Polites said as he held the fruit in front of Odysseus's mouth. Odysseus opened his mouth and happily ate the fruit, giggling after he finished it and Polites smiled down at him. "Good job Ody!" Polites cheered quietly.

Polites then popped a piece of fruit into his mouth, he then took turns feeding Odysseus and himself until the tray was empty. "Well, now that we've both eaten how about we try and sleep?" Polites said and Odysseus whined, Polites then cooed and petted Odysseus's hair. "Don't worry Little Wolf, I'll sleep with you tonight to make sure no more nightmare happen" Polites softly reassured leading to Odysseus to settle down, relaxing against Polites's chest. Polites smiled and kissed Odysseus's forehead as he settles both of them in the bed then pulling the blanket over them comfortably, Odysseus cuddled close to Polites holding his rooster plush close as he started to fall asleep against Polites.

Polites smiled as he watched Odysseus fall asleep, sure he was woken up by Odysseus having a nightmare and he hated when his friend was disturbed by nightmares, but for once he was in the caregiver role and he quite enjoyed taken on that role when their primary caregivers weren't available. Polites sighed happily as he took off his glasses and put them on the bedside table as he snuggled up to Odysseus and quickly falling asleep himself, glad he could help his friend with his nightmare.

Notes:

Chapter 34: CG!Zeus Little!Poseidon

Summary:

Zeus finds out Poseidon regesses and takes care of him

Notes:

This request is for Lazy_Person hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Zeus sighed as he sat in his throne room, pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance. A week ago Poseidon was admitted to Apollo's infirmary after his battle with Odysseus and he was refusing to see anyone but Apollo for check ups and Zeus was getting fed up on what to do about his brother's mood. Zeus got up from his throne with a groan, dreading the talk he's going to have with his brother as he made his way to Apollo's infirmary. Apollo looked at him nervously, not really meeting his eyes as he spoke. "Hello Father...Uncle Poseidon is still refusing to see anyone and now he's refusing to speak" Apollo said as he fidgeted with his hands, being on edge around Zeus ever since God Games.

Zeus gave a nod, well aware of his brother going nonverbal as he had times where he'd lapse into silence ever since being freed from their own father. "Thank you for telling me Apollo however, Poseidon can't keep avoiding everyone and as his brother and king I'm going to see him"  Zeus stated bluntly and all Apollo could do is nod meekly as Zeus walked past him fully into the Infirmary, walking passed Athena's room straight to his older brother's room not even bothering to knock as he entered the room. As Zeus entered he saw Poseidon sitting upright in the infirmary bed, bandaged up from his injuries from Odysseus but missing his water arm. Poseidon didn't look up when Zeus entered or when he sat down in the chair next to the bed.

"Poseidon" Zeus called out and Poseidon hunched into himself, trembling slightly and Zeus sighed as he reached out and touched his shoulder. "Poseidon" Zeus tried again before continuing. "You can't keep avoiding everyone like this" And Poseidon whimpered as Zeus spoke before suddenly shifting in size to that of a child, making Zeus blink in surprise, he was well aware of some of the gods acting like children but never thought his brother was one of the ones who did it. Poseidon whimpered again and curled into himself as Zeus stared, close to crying which made Zeus panic. "H-Hey it's okay! Don't cry!" Zeus said quickly, wanting to avoid Poseidon crying as it often lead to the place being flooded. Zeus then gently scooped up Poseidon from the infirmary bed, being mindful of the bandages and held him gently.

"It's okay 'sei there's no need to cry" Zeus soothed awkwardly as he wasn't the best at comforting people. Poseidon then settled against Zeus, sniffling quietly but not falling to full blown tears and Zeus breathed a sigh of relief at that. Zeus then began to run a hand through his brother's hair, not really sure how to comfort Poseidon any other way. "Does anyone else know you act like this sometimes?" Zeus asked and Poseidon stayed quiet but signed with the one armed sign language they had made up long before he could control his water arm and sign properly. "Baba and Amphi knows but no one else" Poseidon signed and Zeus let out a breath, glad to know at least their older brother and his brother's wife knew even if no one else did.

Zeus then stood up from the chair he was sitting in and made his way to leave Poseidon's infirmary room, still carrying Poseidon gently as he walked. "Say, I'm sure you're well enough for a little adventure to your domain" Zeus said softly and Poseidon brightened up at the thought of being in his domain again, near the water again. The two then passed by Apollo and Poseidon hid himself in Zeus's shoulder. "What are you doing?" Apollo asked cautiously, not batting an eye at seeing his uncle as a child. "I'm taking him back to his domain, he seems fine now and it'll do him no good being cooped up in his infirmary room" Zeus stated and Apollo could only sigh, knowing he couldn't force Poseidon back to his room even as the healer god if his father wanted to take him somewhere, after all he couldn't go against the word of the god king.

"Alright, just please be mindful of his bandages, the water might actually help with the healing too" Apollo said watching as his father walked away with child sized Poseidon. Zeus and Poseidon soon made it to the god of seas domain and once entered, Poseidon squirmed out of Zeus's grasp and carefully ran over to the many pools covering his domain, Zeus then trailing behind him. Zeus watched Poseidon splash around in one of the shallower pools with a soft smile before gasping dramatically as water was dumped on him. Poseidon laughed quietly as he soaked Zeus with water, he wasn't strong enough to keep a hold on his water arm but he could at least mess around with his brother.

"Oh you little--!" Zeus huffed before going over to the shallow pool and playfully splashing Poseidon back. Poseidon continued to giggle quietly as the two played around for sometime, Zeus always being mindful of Poseidon's injuries but it also seemed Apollo was right with the water helping Poseidon heal as he actually started to look better the longer they played. The two continued playing for some time until Poseidon became breathless and it was made clear that Poseidon still wasn't one hundred percent healed yet. Eventually the two just sat on the edge of the pool, breathlessly laughing quietly before Poseidon leaned against Zeus growing tired.

"T'ank you Zuzu...." Poseidon mumbled as he finally spoke and Zeus brightened up at bit at finally hearing his brother speak. "Of course sei" Zeus replied softly before scooping Poseidon back up and standing up. "We should probably head back before Apollo decides to throw a hissy fit" Zeus grumbled, he was the god king! He knows how to take care of his brother! Poseidon only laughed quietly as he snuggled against his brother as Zeus carried him back to the infirmary to get his bandages changed from the now soaking wet ones.

Notes:

Been thinking about nonverbal poseidon....and him and his brother's having a made up sign language for when he only has one arm since with sign language you usually need both hands!

Chapter 35: CG!Hermes Little!Athena

Summary:

Hermes visits Athena well she's in the infirmary after Zeus's game

Notes:

This request is for anonymous on tumblr hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Athena sat on the bed in her infirmary room as she recovered from her injuries from her father, she wasn't sure how long she'd be there for Apollo wouldn't tell her but she was worried about Odysseus, Telemachus and Penelope. She had been made aware that Zeus had allowed Odysseus to be freed but Apollo had forbid her from leaving the infirmary and it was driving her crazy, more then anything she wanted to apologize to Odysseus for everything. Besides that, she knew the suitors roaming the palace would get angry upon Odysseus's return and she didn't wish more harm to come to the ithica family.

But she was stuck and was frustrated by it, she couldn't leave the Infirmary no matter how hard she tried because of the magical barrier the infirmary had to stop patients from leaving, only Apollo's word would allow them to leave and he had made it very clear he didn't want her to leave. Athena found herself childishly pouting at the thought of Apollo not allowing her to leave. She found herself acting rather child-like as of late, she talked to Apollo about it worried it may have been some sort of brain damage done by being struck by her father's lightning. Thankfully Apollo had told her it wasn't brain damage but instead just her brain trying to cope with what her father did to her instead.

As glad as she was that it wasn't some sort of brain damage, she was rather embarrassed that she acted like a child simply because her father had attacked her. However Apollo said trying to push back the child-like headspace could lead to her slipping involuntarily in an unwanted situation, so well recovering she had be allowing herself to fall into that child-like headspace. Apollo brought her some children's toys and she found herself being drawn to a particular owl plush to where she started keeping it with her even when she wasn't quite feeling child-like. She was fiddling with the owl plushies wings when Hermes walked in and she felt the childish anger bubble up at Apollo again that he wouldn't let her leave.

She stopped fiddling with the plush and just kept the plush in her lap as she gave Hermes a small tired smile. "Hello Hermes" Athena said tiredly and Hermes gave her a bright grin. "Hello Athena darling! I hope you're doing well after father zapped you!" Hermes commented and Athena gave a little flinch at that comment. "I'm doing fine..." Athena mumbled and returned to fiddling with the plush. Hermes frown at seeing Athena's little flinch but walked closer to her bed. "Well i have good new for you darling! My baby is free and on his way home now! Though...he does have to face Charybdis and Uncle P...I tried to warn him of both the best i could" Hermes said and Athena nodded and tried to hide her sudden tears at hearing news of her friend's release.

"Athena? Darling...are you alright?" Hermes asked in concern as even with Athena trying to hide her tears he still saw them. "M'fine..." Athena whimpered as she tried to wipe away her tears discreetly, Hermes cooed softly and cupped Athena's cheek. "Athena, Darling you're clearly not okay" Hermes stated leading to Athena break down and cry harder. "Oh dear...why the tears darling?" Hermes asked softly and Athena only whimpered and hid her face as she suddenly shifted in size to that of a child and it clicked for Hermes what was going on. Hermes then gently scooped up Athena, being mindful of her many bandages and held her close well trying to soothe her. "Oh Sweetheart...it's okay..." Hermes gently reassured before continuing as he thought about Athena's reaction "is it about Odysseus?" And Athena gave a tiny nod as she leaned against Hermes.

"Wanna see 'im but 'Pollo won't let me!" Athena whined and Hermes cooed softly. "I know you do Darling but Apollo just wants to make sure you're feeling one hundred percent better before allowing you to leave, Father hurt you really badly 'Thena so we're all a bit worried" Hermes told gently as Athena sniffled quietly. "But I need to see 'im! I need to apologize!" Athena cried and Hermes sighed softly. "You'll be able to apologize to him when you feel better Darling, it's not good for you to leave the Infirmary" Hermes said softly as he picked up the owl plush from the bed and handed it back to Athena who held it tightly.

"How about this? I'll tell you the story of how i helped my baby away from that little nymph..." Hermes said as he carefully got onto the infirmary bed well still holding Athena and the tiny goddess nodded as she rested her head against Hermes’s chest, as he delve into his story of helping Odysseus and telling him his way home. As the story went on, Athena felt her eyes grow heavy with sleep as Hypno tried to pull her into his realm of sleep. She fought the best she could but it was a losing battle especially when Hermes started petting her hair.

"Rest 'Thena...the more you rest, the faster you'll recover and the sooner you'll see Odysseus again" Hermes soothed gently as he continued to pet Athena's hair, hoping to get her to fall asleep. Even once she was finally asleep, Hermes didn't let up on giving Athena comfort more so to comfort himself now more then anything. Apollo had said Athena had been close to death by the hands of their father and that was terrifying to think about, so Hermes wanted to keep her close until he absolutely had to leave and the longer he stayed there simply holding his sister close to him, the more he felt himself start to doze off as well. He didn't bother fighting Hypno's pull to his realm of sleep as he knew other gods could pick up his jobs as he took a quick nap with his sister.

Notes:

Came up with the headcanon of no one is allowed to leave the Infirmary by a magical barrier unless Apollo says so...something bad definitely happened before the barrier was in place....

Chapter 36: CG!Zeus Dragon!Poseidon

Summary:

Zeus goes to find Poseidon after he's defeated by Odysseus only to find Poseidon regressed as a dragon

Notes:

This request is for moonlight131345 hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Zeus sighed as he flew around the ocean near ithica, Poseidon had yet to return even after Odysseus made it home. Zeus was all for allowing him to pout and come back eventually after getting stabbed by that greek, his brother pushed Odysseus to that point and Zeus felt like his brother should face the conseques of that. However Hades had been concerned about Poseidon not returning and since he was too busy dealing with one hundred and eight new souls, it was up to Zeus to find Poseidon. Zeus continued flying around until he came cross a little cave by ithica's shores, Zeus then entered the cave figuring Poseidon may have gone here after getting stabbed knowing he couldn't have gone far with being injured by his own trident.

As Zeus entered the cave he quickly spotted something residing in there alongside him. "Poseidon?" Zeus called out and whatever else was in the cave moved to hide behind a rock when he called his brother's name. "Sei?" Zeus called again, now moving closer to the rock that was in the cave. "It's not funny to hide, you're making Hades worry" Zeus huffed in annoyance as he reached the rock and looked behind it. As Zeus peaked behind the rock, he spotted his brother curled up on himself trying to protect his injuries. The god king also raised an eyebrow at his brother looked, noting he looked rather young and took on a dragon like appearance. Zeus knew some of the other gods occasionally acted animalistic but taking on dragon traits was an odd choice along with looking child-like

Poseidon stared up at Zeus and hissed at him and Zeus frowned. "Don't you hiss at me..." Zeus scolded as he scooped up Poseidon, being mindful of his injuries only for Poseidon to bite him. Zeus bit back a curse as Poseidon's sharp teeth dug into his arm but he made sure not to drop his brother even as golden ichor dripped from the bite. "There really is no need to bite me dear brother, now we both have to see Apollo..." Zeus seethed as he teleported away from the cave near Ithica back to Mount Olympus and straight to Apollo's infirmary. Apollo gasp in surprise at seeing the state his uncle was in, not paying too much attention to the dragon features. "I knew that Odysseus would beat Uncle Poseidon but I didn't think it'd be this badly..." Apollo mused quietly as he took in Poseidon's injuries.

Zeus then carefully handed Poseidon to Apollo, who hissed at the prophet god. "Oh hush Uncle Poseidon, i know you're hurting but that doesn't give you a reason to lash out" Apollo gently scolded. "Careful...he's in a bitey mood..." Zeus grumbled as he showed off his arm and Apollo tried to hide his amused smile. "Thanks for the heads up Father, you can sit in the waiting room well i look after Uncle Poseidon then I can look after you" Apollo said as he took Poseidon to the back rooms to get looked at and Zeus huffs as he walks out of the infirmary to Poseidon's domain to grab one of his comfort plushies figuring that'd help his brother.

He then returned to the infirmary and sat down in the waiting area, quietly grumbling complains under his breath as he waited. Apollo returned sometime later and let out an exhausted sigh as he went up to his father and looked at his injuried arm. "Even with my prophet abilities, I was unable to forsee Odysseus using Uncle Poseidon's own trident against him, it was quite the surprise when I was able to get a closer look at his injuries" Apollo said as he bandaged up Zeus's arm, the unspoken words between them that the infirmary would be getting another long term patient besides Athena. Zeus nodded along as Apollo spoke, trying not to acknowledge that his daughter was still in the infirmary. "Is Poseidon allowed visitors at the moment?" Zeus asked, trying to hide his own worry about his older brother. "Yes, Uncle Poseidon can have visitors just be careful" Apollo said and Zeus nodded as he didn't want to get bit again.

"Thank you Apollo" Zeus said as he got up to go to his brother's room, being cautious as he entered his brother's room. Poseidon was curled up in a nest of blankets and peaked out of the nest when Zeus entered, giving him a quiet hiss. "Oh don't hiss at me, i brought Seaheart for you" Zeus said as he carefully handed over the seahorse plushie. Poseidon stared at the plushie for a few moments before grabbing it with his mouth and started chewing on it. Zeus let out a small sigh of relief, glad Poseidon didn't try and bite him again and he sat in the chair in the room and just watched his brother chew on the plushie. Poseidon occupied himself by gnawing on the plushie as his single dragon wing stayed folded against his back and his tail swayed as he sat in the blanket nest.

Zeus continued to watch to watch his brother in silence for a while, before carefully reaching a hand over to gently run a hand through Poseidon's hair and Zeus smiled softly as Poseidon let out a quiet purr and nudged again Zeus's hand. "You really like that huh..." Zeus said with a chuckle as he continued to pet his brother. Poseidon's purring grew louder and Poseidon stared at Zeus for a few moments before making up his mind and shuffled off the bed. "Uh Sei, I don't think you should get out of bed--" Zeus said worriedly but then Poseidon crawled into his lap and curled up.

"Ah--" Zeus said in surprise before continuing. "You could've just told me you wanted to be in my lap Sei" Poseidon simply huffed as he settled in Zeus's lap and rammed his head into Zeus's hand, Zeus laughed quietly and started petting Poseidon again. "Alright, alright I'll continue petting you..." Zeus said softly and Poseidon started to fall asleep in his brother's lap and Zeus sighed in defeat once he realized that Poseidon fell asleep, accepting his fate of being stuck as Poseidon dozed in his lap as he continued to mindlessly pet him.

Chapter 37: CG!Ares Little!Athena

Summary:

Ares finds Athena in her domain after recovering from God Games

Notes:

This request is for Greeklovinghoe hope you enjoy! 💛💛💛

Also just to note this fic will be going on hiatus for a week while i do another writing challenge for another fandom I'm in! (I promise I won't be gone for 5 months--)

Athena sat on the floor of her domain's library sitting in a circle with some plush toys as she read out loud from a children's book, ever since the fated games Athena had felt a child-like headspace come and go occasionally. Apollo said it had something to do with the trauma of being attacked by their father, at first Athena felt rather embarrassed by it. Her? The goddess of wisdom being childish? That'd be utterly shameful! But…the more she fell into the headspace the more she enjoyed it, she never had a proper childhood after all.

So she enjoyed the headspace in private of her domain by herself with occasional check ins by Apollo, but the healing god was always so busy that he couldn't really stay and act as a caregiver to the tiny goddess of wisdom. Athena didn't really mind that much though, she quite liked being alone with just her many books and plush toys. Athena continued to read out loud until she felt that someone entered her domain and it made her freeze, only Apollo knew about her child-like headspace and she wasn't quite sure if she wanted any of her other siblings to know about it.

"Athena? You here? You said we'd spar today!" Ares called out and Athena clutched the book she was holding hard, she had forgotten she promised Ares to a spar once she was recovering more and feeling better after the games. Athena felt Ares move around her domain until he reached the library and Athena didn't have enough time shift back to her adult form, hide her book or hide her plushies before Ares came in. Athena stared at Ares in fear as Ares stared back in confusion as he looked around the library, taking in the plushies, the children's book and Athena's appearance as a small child.

As the silence stretched on Athena couldn't help but suddenly burst into tears, making Ares jump in surprise and panic at his sister's sudden tears. Ares carefully rushed over to where Athena sat and kneeled down next to her, he wasn't one to offer comfort in most situations but he couldn't stand his sister's tears. "Hey…Athena it's okay" Ares said awkwardly, not sure how to comfort Athena as he wasn't sure what upset her. Ares then looked around and took in the plushies that were around them, noting that all the plushies were of the other gods sacred animals but noticing any animal that represented Zeus was missing.

Ares picked up the dog plushie and waved it in front of Athena, hoping to cheer her up. "Hey look 'Thena! It looks like Mr.Doggy wants to play" Ares said brightly. Athena stopped her crying and stared at the doggy plush tearfully, sniffling quietly as she then picked up the owl plush from the circle of toys. "Ms.Hooty wants to play too…" Athena said quietly and the two war gods went on to play with the plush toys for some time as Athena calmed down. As their playing slowly came to a stop, Athena leaned against Ares and the two just sat in silence for a while.

"Are you okay?" Ares asked before continuing "I've never seen you act like this or look like this" as Ares said that, he gestured to Athena's child-like appearance. Athena stayed quiet for a few moments before finding the courage to speak. " 'Pollo says it's um…a way for my brain to deal with what father did…" Athena mumbled quietly and Ares nods along. "That makes sense, plus you never had a childhood like the rest of us so this must be nice" Ares said as he played with Athena's hair as she rested against him and Athena hummed in agreement.

" 'Thena I've got a question, i know we're all quite resilient as children but is anyone looking after you when your like this?" Ares asked and Athena shook her head against Ares's chest. "Nuh-uh not really…'Pollo checks on my occ-asion-ally but he's still busy 'nd isn't always here" Athena mumbled before continuing. "It's okay though! I'm good at taking care of myself!" And Ares gave a sad smile at hearing this. "Of course you are Owlet but…how would you feel if i took care of you when your like this?" Ares asked and Athena immediately brightened up. "Really? You'd do that?" Athena asked in awe.

Ares gave a warm smile as he petted Athena's hair again. "Sure, if you want me to, again I know we're resilient but it's nice to have someone looking after you" Ares said and Athena beamed and hugged Ares tightly. "T'ank you! I know I'm good at takin' care of myself but it does get lonely…" Athena exclaimed. "Well I'll be here if you need me, whenever you're feeling small like this, you just come and find me, okay?" Ares stated and Athena nodded intensely. "Okay!" Athena replied back.

Athena then turned to her discarded children's book and thought for a moment before going to pick it up. "Can…you…can you read to me?" Athena asked quietly and again Ares smiled warmly. "Sure thing Owlet" Ares said as he patted his lap and Athena rushed back over to sit in her Big Little brother's lap. Ares then began to read from the book as Athena snuggled up to him, listening intensely as he read out loud. As Ares continued the story Athena started to doze off but she fought to stay awake until the end! She wanted to hear Ares finish the story!

But it was getting harder and harder to stay awake. Ares took notice of Athena's struggle to stay awake and started reading in a quiet soothing voice, hoping to lull his sister to sleep. Athena gave a quiet pout at the realization of what Ares was doing but it was cut off by a yawn as she finally started to lose the battle against sleep and Ares laughed softly as he watched Athena finally drift off to sleep well snuggled up against him.

I wanted to have Aphrodite as well since the request also asked for it but I couldn't really figure out a way to add her
