The Sea looks welcoming enough to Telemachus, despite the storm.
It would help his mother.

Summary
Morpheus, the God of Dreams, takes pity on the King and Queen of Ithaca. Odysseus’s return is many years away, yet his and Penelope’s minds find each other in sleep. It’s both a blessing and a curse, and sometimes all that keeps them going.
Queen Penelope stepped into the dream as easily as crossing a threshold, and with her came the sun, as if Helios's carriage rode atop her billowing black hair. The carnage vanished in her presence, the ground no longer a battlefield but a sloping grassy hill dotted with olive trees. Her bright blue eyes almost glowed, searching the hillside with clear intent.
The King of Ithaca stood, gazing at her as if she were a vision of Aphrodite herself. The blood streaking his face and staining his hands evaporated in the wake of her sunlight, the dead bundle in his arms vanishing with it.
Morpheus stared as well, unable to believe that she stood before them. It was no shaped dream becoming a nightmare, no conjuration of the King’s mind to protect himself. It was her, slipping into his dream as if it were a room in their home. Answering her husband’s desperate cries.

Summary
“I know you’re hurting,” he said, and Odysseus was unable to help the bite.
“Oh,” he said, “do you now?”
How easy it must have been for Eurylochus to move on from it. After all, he was not the one who’d been made responsible for it all—yes, how easy to move on when it had not been his choice to make, nor his burden to carry in the aftermath. He had always acted like commanding was an easy thing, as though he had all that was needed to do it better. As though caring for his small keep on Same was equivalent to being king of multiple islands. As though advising his captain was the same as holding power over people’s lives, and bearing the blame when something went wrong.
“I miss him too, you know,” Eurylochus was saying, and Odysseus had to fight against the rush of bile up his throat, the sharp, flat rock that’d lodged there, more urgent still than all the rest.
“Don’t.”
/////
Or: Odysseus and Eurylochus are long, long overdue for a conversation.

Summary
“I am most delighted,” Penelope had said, fingers tightening gently around Ctimene’s hand, her voice earnest with joy. “Truly, most delighted – that Odysseus has a sister. For I–” and there she had laughed softly, as though confessing some girlish hope, “ –I was raised in a house of men, you see. Only brothers I had, loud and brawling, and no beloved sister. I had always longed for an elder sister. And now, the gods have granted one to me at last.”
She looked to Ctimene with wide open eyes, searching for the spark of shared sentiment. But the warmth she offered was not returned.
Ctimene had frowned, her lips parting with a slowness that suggested the words had waited long behind her teeth. She drew back just enough to reclaim the space between them, cold.
(or, in the early days after her arrival to Ithaca, Penelope talks to Ctimene in an effort to get closer to her new husband's sister - it does not go so well)

Summary
In short, Poseidon finds Telemachus' ship as he's sailing back to Ithaca from his diplomatic mission. After realizing it was Odysseus' son, he blinded Telemachus and drowned the ship, leaving only one survivor to tell the tale. To make sure Odysseus -if he were to ever return- would know that it was he who murdered the boy. A son for a son.
In retaliation, the Fates take pity on him and decide to send him back to when the suitors started showing up, to find a way to get rid of them once and for all, and to perhaps live to see the day his father comes back home.
In addition to this, the Fates have given him prophetic dreams, well, some are prophetic, others are of the past. Either way, he gets a new power beneath his belt and maybe he'll show the suitors just how hard a little Wolf's bite could be.

Summary
Penelope waited twenty years for Odysseus. And now he's home. Of course she loves him, but sometimes a thought -- one laced with sadness, pain, and resentment latches in her mind. Odysseus sees it, he feels it, but doesn't know how to respond as his own fears begin to grow.

The erasure of justice and the crimes of the heinous by Robynshereallalone

Summary
This is a story actually based off of Athena and Medusa and the erasure of the story of women who are brought justice BY the bringer of justice—Athena.
----
After Odysseus comes back, Antinous isn't killed on the spot. Which means that when Penelope saw Odysseus and confirmed it was him, she was utterly relieved, only to see him keel over with a blooming red stain from the sword in him driven in by Antinous, the very suitor who's haunted her halls for three years.
This makes Penelope plummet into a deeper depression, and this makes Telemachus fall into a spiral and despair from the fact his father came back only to be killed.
Penelope is desperate for help, for a helping hand, for someone to hold her in their lap like Odysseus would.
