    Summary

    “Did you try offering it first? Mother and Eurycleia said—”

    “I tried that.” She says, more sharply than she intends. She checks to make sure Telemachus hasn’t stirred awake. He’s still sound asleep, a blessing from the gods. “I’ve tried everything, every trick and tip they’ve shoved down my throat.”

    Odysseus hums, apologetic. “I know, my love. I’m sorry.”

    Odysseus helps Penelope with breastfeeding issues in a... unconventional but not unwelcome way.

    Summary

    The taste of her blood was still in his mouth — copper, sharp, cruel. He had kissed her like she was salvation and touched her like he didn’t know the difference between hunger and harm. His hands, meant to cradle her, had become weapons. Again.

    OR:

    Odysseus feels he should have died at sea after accidentally hurting his wife.

    Summary

    Two first times, two perspectives. One of them is nervous, the other is terrified.

    The first chapter is their very first time. Ancient times didn't consider the woman's pleasure a priority. Penelope had been scared to death about sex before her wedding night and there is no going back anymore. She is in love with her new husband, but is Odysseus really different from the men she heard about?

    The second chapter is the first time after twenty years spent apart. Odysseus has been through hell and back and although he returned home, part of his mind is still stuck in the past. Particulary Calypso has left her marks on him, and after seven years of coersion and rape Odysseus struggles with intimacy.

    Summary

    Paris - the city of lovers. Also those who are afraid of their feelings.

    Months have passed since their fates intertwined. Both Maria and Alucard realize that they are much closer to each other than they would like. However, are lost hearts, uncertain and delicate, able to trust each other enough to be together? What stands in the way? Fear? Or maybe a dark force stretching its claws towards the wronged soul...

    A short romance between the characters, presenting their relationships, reflections and thoughts towards themselves. Don't expect a deep plot or complex threads here. It's something light before bed...

    The action takes place some time after the end of the second season of the series. How much exactly has passed, I leave to your interpretation. It could be a year or it could be less or more.
