    Summary

    When he was little, Telemachus' imaginary friend encouraged him to write letters to his far-off father. It had been a nice routine, pretending to tell him about all sorts of things going on in his life. He never really grew out of the habit.

    Then again, he never stopped receiving responses.

    Summary

    Odysseus stood in front of him, bow steady in his blood-soaked fingers, arrow notched and aimed between Telemachus’ eyes. Telemachus had spent years studying the man before him, comparing the two of them. He’d lost count of the number of times people in the palace had told him that he looked just like his father had at his age.

     

     

     

    Now he wondered if he would grow into Odysseus’ rage, if his own eyes would harden the way his father’s had, if he’d grow to enjoy the taste of blood if he only lived another twenty-five years.

     

     

    .

    Telemachus looked at Odysseus and saw a vision of his future.

    Odysseus looked at Telemachus and saw a stranger in his home.

    Summary

    UPDATE: Discontinued lol sorry yall

    Odysseus offers to raise the infant son of Prince Hector as his own, desperately hoping to spare an innocent life. Despite fate, Zeus accepts his bargain. For a price.

    You can probably guess what that price is, considering this is Zeus we're talking about.

    Except, the price goes deeper than Odysseus thought. After all, he never clarified exactly what he meant by raising the child as his own, and the gods do love their word games.

    Summary

    “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?”

    He squinted again. No he didn’t but- Ithaca? Oh, that's where he wanted to go, wasn't it? Home. Thats where Penelope was-

    Odysseus, eyes barely focusing, staggered forward. "Penelope?" he croaked, his voice cracking. "Is it really you?"

    His crew were all kneeling. Well, Penelope deserved no less.

     

    Or, Odysseus, exhausted and delirious after 9 days of being awake, mistakes Poseidon for Penelope. This changes everything and nothing.

    Summary

    “She offered me everything, Zeus,” Odysseus continued, his voice low and intimate. “But I resisted, for my heart belonged only to Penelope. Like this...”

    ‘Witnessing this,’ Eurylochus thought as he watched Odysseus- still bleeding and wearing what was practically rags by now- sway dramatically, ‘was worse than being potentially dead.’

    Hera, sensing the tension between the mortal and her husband, cleared her throat pointedly. “That's enough, Odysseus,” she interjected with a raised eyebrow, her tone carrying a hint of amusement.

     

    Or, how Odysseus managed to save himself as well as his crew. He learnt that ruthlessness was mercy from Poseidon, and that there are other ways of persuation from Circe.
