    Summary

    There were rumors, quickly squashed by the island kingdom, that the Prince of Ithaca had grown wings on his feet when he was a boy. There were rumors that he had wings elsewhere too; on his back and behind his ears. They were squashed even quicker. Anyone who could get a look at the prince could see that his body was not adorned in feathers of any kind.

    None of them knew, and Ithaca’s royal family planned to keep it that way. Fearing that this problem of unknown origin (curse or yet another divine being’s fling with a mortal) would be seen as an insult to the gods and bring down their wrath. Odysseus has grown used to having to cut down or hide the extra appendages, but the struggle only grew when he was forced into the Trojan War.

    Now, with the war at its end and his fleet ready to return home, he only has one thing on his mind; getting home to his wife and son.

     

    OR

     

    An alternate universe where Hermes's relation to one particular Greek hero becomes a bit more prominent, and he suddenly has a much better reason to help Odysseus on his journey home.

    Summary

    Odysseus had finally made it home to roost, safe with his wife, son, and great-grandfather. He had even been making amends with Athena as of late- it was hard not to, seeing how good she was with Telemachus.

    But he still had his nightmares. Of course he did. And while being back on open sea with his crew wasn’t the standard setup, seeing everyone he had once loved was pain enough and he knew it would get worse.

    Except, he never woke up. Instead he started to change things.

    And oh, that was more terrifying than a nightmare ever could be.

     

    Or: Odysseus from “I’ll Be Home With Frayed Feathers” by FictionForLife_NZ wakes up the day after his crew depart from Troy, despite having made it home to heal.

    Summary

    In the Lotus Arcade, there’s a boy who has his name on every leaderboard, and Percy can't stop thinking about him.

    "Grab my wrist ’til your knuckles are white
    It’s a brand-new kiss in the same old light
    In a Friday bliss on a Sunday night
    I wanna feel like this ‘til I feel alright"

    Summary

    Peter knows Tony doesn’t forget on purpose, and he knows that Tony means well with his concern. But, the man has to deal with the fact Peter isn’t a hero, and is in fact, a vigilante. If all he gets is a broken nose after a long night of patrol, Peter considers himself lucky.
    A lot of vigilante things were lost on Tony, such as bad PR. Sure, the Avengers get some bad PR, but never J. Jonah. Jameson style, but then again, Spider-Man always had the best pictures, because Peter Parker gave them in for a bit of extra money.
    There was some things you learn when you’re in Peter’s line of business, and that is, how to calm down a rape victim, how to help a lost child who doesn’t want help, who to punch harder than the rest, who are first time thieves, and that sometimes things like “don’t pull the knife out” is a rule best ignored, (unless it was somewhere bad bad).
    You know Tony’s too far gone from the vigilante line of work, when it’s Pepper Potts, who tells Tony that a broken nose is the least of Peter’s worries, even though she too freaks out about it.

    Or;

    5 times The Avengers (excluding Clint) forgot Peter Parker is a vigilante, and 1 time everyone remembered.

    Summary

    “Penelope…”

    In front of him was the door, a door that will guide him directly to his queen, his love, his everything. The same door, same wood, same rough touch that he knew 20 years ago.

    He opened the door, leaving a small squeak, and entered.
    ________________________________________________________

    Maybe Athena and Odysseus shouldn’t have had discussed matters that they did not understand. Maybe it was more judicious to not talk about Alternative Universes and worlds.

    Maybe they have jinxed, because Odysseus was now doomed to wait longer.

    20 years was, apparently, not enough.

     

    OR : Odysseus is one hell of an unlucky guys and gets transported to an other universe, ours.
