Nor Would The Hanging Web Be Wearying Now by Poetry_Of_Apollo

Summary
He had asked her, once why it was that she refused to eat, to sleep, as if that would amount to anything, as if her ill-health may call to her husband home, as if her constantly nearly killing herself with her own foolishness again and again would implore Odysseus to return faster, sooner, as if she held a noose around her neck that slowly, slowly tightened in silent threat every passing year.
She, in response, had simply said that he did not understand.
The interaction had come following an infection where he had spent days watching her vomit until there was only bile left for her to retch. He had been frustrated with her for weeks afterwards.
(Penelope falls sick just as Telemachus is about to leave for his journey to Pylos. He does not take it well).

Summary
Penelope reached for the chair beside Diomedes, the wood gently scraping on the floor as she pulled it back. "And do not worry for your father either, he merely had something to attend to."
The entire room came to a halt, as though something had shattered in the air.
In front of him, Telemachus and Hermione had both frozen, the Princess' expression in confusion, Telemachus' hands tightening slowly at the table's ledge, something in his eyes shifting as he realized —
Penelope only stared. "What?"
Diomedes set his cup down. "Penelope —"
"Mother," Telemachus' cut in, his voice kept carefully neutral, but strung tight, too tight, like a rope that might tear if pulled any more taut, "Mother, he is not here."
(In the wake of seven years since King Odysseus' continued absence, the palace of Ithaca is wreaking in havoc).
(Or, essentially, Next to Normal).

Summary
“Look at me,” he repeats, he pleads — gently tilting her head up. “Look at me, Penelope. Will you not at least do that?”
She hesitates. She relents.
She looks at the dead man. His hands are warm against her cheek.
(After a nightmare, Odysseus comforts his wife).

Summary
He could imagine her upon it now. Perhaps she would be sitting upon the bed, or a kline, or relaxing in the balcony, bathing in the sun after weeks of being too weak to leave their bedchambers. Perhaps she would be feeding their son, or perhaps she would be playing with him, and, perhaps, when he opened the door, she would smile at him as she always had and would hold up their son and murmur your Papa’s here, love, look!
(After a tiring day at court, Odysseus returns to his wife and son).

Summary
Odysseus had loved to sail.
“Where are you?” She asked the waves, hoping that perhaps, wherever he was, he would hear.
There came no answer.
There never was.
And even then, Penelope had never really learned to stop talking to her ghosts.
(The four times she wrote him letters she did not send, the one time he read them all after his homecoming).

i imagine death so much (it feels more like a memory) by ansthingshere

Summary
Azula has never been stupid. Her wits sharper than any blade, spear, or even those dumb fans those Kyoshi Warriors were so fond of.
But try as she might, she has never truly understood love.
When she was younger she used to wonder. She would squint up at sun, begging Agni for an answer. And when silence followed, she would stay up at night, staring at the starry sky. Because if the sun could not answer then maybe the moon could.
She receives answers from neither.
She is 8 when she decides she does not care anymore. She might not understand love. But at the very least, she thinks she knows what it feels like.

Summary
“Why are you crying?” she asked softly, her voice faint.
Aang let out a shaky breath, a soft smile tugging at his lips as he rubbed the back of his neck. “I wasn’t crying,” he said, his voice wobbling with emotion. He gave a small, rough laugh. “You’re the one who jumped in front of lightning. What were you thinking?”
She winced again, and her hand gripped his a little tighter.
“You always save everyone,” She rasped “Thought it was my turn”OR Katara is the one who gets struck by lightning in the catacombs of Ba Sing Se.
