    Summary

    Just over ten minutes later, Athena is beginning to wonder if Hermes was mistaken. Maybe the supposed mix up was in itself a mix up, and there were no petals in the cake after all. Or maybe there were, but she’s one of the few people in existence for whom moly has no effect. That would make sense, she thinks. Her domain is the mind, after all, so perhaps that automatically cancels out anything that might alter her thoughts.

    In that case, why is she standing off to the side like this? If the moly isn’t going to be a problem, there’s no need for her to remain separate. She should join a conversation! Talk to people! It might even be fun!

    Oh, she thinks, blinking rapidly as the realisation hits. Oh, no.

    ***

    Several months on from that disastrous road trip, Odysseus and Penelope invite their friends and family over for the evening. Athena reluctantly agrees to come, planning to stay for as short a time as possible before disappearing. But when Hermes shows up, a moly-related mix up causes events to take an... interesting turn.

    Or: Athena and Odysseus accidentally get high, then spend the next few hours trying very hard to pretend they didn't.

    Summary

    Five years ago, the king of Ithaca made the choice to sacrifice himself for his crew. Over 500 men made it back, but Odysseus was not one of them, cursed instead to swim the seas.

    At first he could remember, even if he no longer could speak - his tongue removed as part of the punishment, but one incident with the wind bag later and he was alone for far far too long.

    But Ithaca will have it's king.

    And more importantly; Penelope will have her husband back. No matter how long it takes.

    Summary

    "Penelope steadied her hands on his shoulders and turned her face up to the gentle rainfall. She took a deep breath of salty air and smoothed her elegant fingers over his familiar chiton. “It’s a nice day to cool off,” she commented. It wasn’t condescending or dismissive or distant; it was just true.

    She waited, in all of her statuesque grace, for his shaking to subside and for him to finally accept that the light drizzle wouldn’t escalate into a world-shattering disaster, even though she didn’t know that it was what she was waiting for. When he got to his feet and took her perfect face in his cracked palms, he decided that it was time to tell her why he couldn’t help but fear the water he once loved."

    Or, Odysseus reacclimates to Ithaca.

    Summary

    Penelope still kept the small shrine to Athena in the courtyard outside her bedroom. It was no grand thing, an altar under the branches of the olive trees with only a small figure of the goddess in her aspect as the goddess of war and tactics, bearing spear and shield. Every day, either just as dawn laid its rosy fingers on the sky or just as the night drew down its dark cloak, Penelope knelt on the worn stone before it and prayed.

    “Bright-eyed lady,” she said, hands pressed together in the earliest dawn light, “goddess of wisdom, show my husband the way home, and let him be clever enough to see it.”

    Penelope, on a day that she has not yet realized will be the first day of the rest of her life.

    Summary

    He drinks in the sight of him now, all grown. He is an adult now, taller than Odysseus. Shoulders broad and arms firm, eyes the same dark shade of his mother's. Dressed in gold and linen, he looked every bit like the prince his lineage calls him to be. Still, Odysseus knows he would have known him even while dressed in rags or filthy from toil. He looks just like his father, from the sculpt of his face to the curls of his hair. His son. His son.

    It is all he can do to keep from reaching out and holding him, gods be damned.

    Summary

    Odysseus looks at the map.

    He looks out the window.

    He looks at the map again.

    “This,” he says at length, “cannot be the way.”

    He risks a glance at Athena, who is white-knuckling the steering wheel, unblinking eyes fixed on the road ahead. It takes a brave man to tell the goddess of wisdom she’s wrong. It takes a braver man still — or perhaps just a foolish one — to do so from the passenger seat while she’s driving.

    Summary

    Odysseus was finally home. His raft had finally touched the sand on the shores of Ithaca. But just as he's about to leave the water behind, he notices a group of men ambush a ship armed with weapons. It's really not his problem, right?

    Of course, he gets involved anyway. There's just a feeling in his gut that he'd regret it otherwise. Besides, he met this nice young man who he's sure would be great friends with his son.

    ***

    Telemachus honestly thought the old man that showed up and started killing the suitors was a god in a shoddy disguise. He reacted accordingly, doing everything he could to help the man and keep him happy. It's not until the old beggar walks Telemachus up to the palace that he realizes who this really is.

    Athena thinks it's hilarious of course.

    “'Ever your desire is to appear lordly and generous as a king of old... But in desperate hours gentleness may be repaid with death.'
    'So be it,' said Faramir.”

    Modern AU, interpreting Faramir's suicide mission to Osgiliath as a more blatant suicide attempt, followed by the pyre and all that entails. Boromir is alive in this. This fic derives mostly from book-canon but w nods to and love for the movie as well

Refusing to wait any longer, she heads a search party, determined to find her husband. What she and the others find instead is a city twisted and stained by the evils of Sauron, or perhaps something worse. Each step further into the heart of the city takes them deeper into horrors both real and imagined. But Eowyn's love for Faramir runs true enough to overcome these hideous obstacles...doesn't it?

    For months life went on as Adrian expected: Trevor and Sypha off having adventures while he made peace with his family's ghosts. Fortunately for him, Trevor and Sypha aren't quite as accepting of his new life plan as he thought. At least in part because they don't know what they're doing.

    Summary

    He tries to sleep, more than a few times. Trevor and Sypha leave, and he tries again and again to succumb to exhaustion—tries to find comfort in the sheets that his mother had tucked him into, once. He twists the blankets this way and that in his hands. They never provide the solace he’s looking for.

    In Alucard’s dreams, his mother calls him Adrian. He awakes from each the way that he did from the first, panting and panicked. It’s always too familiar. He starts to wonder if he’s losing time.
