    Summary

    [Dog:] Odysseus…. Don’t you dare

    [Sealyoulater:] woah, what?

    [#wifeguy:] oh??? >:3c

    [#wifeguy:] too late

    #wifeguy has added TheFavorite to FuckYou

    [TheFavorite:] According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

    Summary

    After seven years apart, Odysseus sets out to Sparta to win Penelope’s hand. But when her outcast uncle, Hippocoon, gets there first and seizes the palace, Penelope escapes with her cousins and finds a reluctant ally to protect them. With Sparta in chaos and the armies of the Peloponnese scattered, Odysseus must rely on the ambitious Agamemnon to unite the kingdoms and find Penelope.

    AKA an adaptation/combination of the Oath and Hippocoon's attack on Sparta. It's a sequel to my other fic, The Weaver and the Carver.

    Summary

    Closer to him now, Patroclus is suddenly met with the sweetest scent. He hadn’t noticed it inside when they were surrounded by so many people, and the smell of alcohol, but he notices it now. Rose petals and warm, sweet honey. With the faintest hint of citrus beneath it all. Patroclus had never taken in a scent so pleasant before, and that was saying something because Briseis liked to douse herself in perfume all the time. But this is different, this feels like… home.

    When Patroclus tags along to a party hosted by a well-known band, he doesn't expect to actually hit it off with the lead singer, Achilles. They inevitably grow closer, quickly falling for each other but they’re both too afraid to make the first move. That is until they suddenly can’t deny their feelings any longer.

    Summary

    In this narrative, Elizabeth, also known as Liz, is a senior at the girls-only academy of Celestia. She reluctantly becomes a chaperone for first-year students on a trip to the Museum of Greek and Roman Art, despite her desire to focus on upcoming exams. While exploring the museum, Liz hears a gunshot and rushes to the scene to find one of the students being held captive. She intervenes by using a taser and successfully saves the student. However, after the incident, Liz experiences a sudden blackout.

    In the void, Liz encounters the Moirai, also known as the Fates – Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos. They inform her that she is dead, and she accepts this fact calmly. The Fates then present Liz with a proposition, to which she agrees without hesitation. Suddenly, Liz wakes up in a different world, suggesting a shift to a new and unknown reality.

    Summary

    It could've been her house, her and Clytemnestra, once. Before the bickering and the jealousy had grown up between them. Helen shut her eyes, lost herself for a second in the layers. Someone laughing, a shrieking child, the clattering of cutlery. Wished this could've been hers instead.

    Penelope was arriving tomorrow – Helen wondered what she'd think of them both. Clytemnestra's words, maybe half-deserved, rang in her ears. Helen curled her hands into fists.

    "You know what people are going to assume, right?" Paris' voice broke the silence. Helen opened her eyes.

    ***

    Helen, Clytemnestra and Penelope, and everything in between.

    Summary

    The tale of Odysseus is one that has been retold over countless millennia, from the mouths of poets, of authors, and historians and storytellers. But has it ever been told from the mouth of the man himself ?

    This is a familiar tale, and a familiar story - the Iliad, entombed in history as ancient as the land of Greece. This is the story of the Iliad as told from the mouth of the man who made it all happen - from the mouth of the Silver-tongued prince of Ithaca. From the mouth of Odysseus

    Watch as he navigates the cruelty of the war, as lovers are ripped from each other, daughters die, heroes fall, and he survives it all - armed with a quick mind and a sharp tongue.

    This is not a story of heroes and gods and myth
    This is a story of love, of loss and war and death
    This is the story of the most human of the Grecian heroes

    (A retelling of the Iliad fron the POV of Odysseus. Unedited first draft of my first novel)

    Summary

    No matter what happens, Odysseus knows he wouldn't trade any of this for anything.
    ~

    This is the "Odysseus gives baby Telemachus a lemon to see his funny face" fic I promised! Sorry, it's taking forever! Lost my groove but now I'm back!
    It became a lot more than I planned but I'm having fun with it! I would say it's a "mix" of the actual Epic Cycle and...my own shit simply with how many liberties I take with my fics and their ideas.

    Summary

    Of all people, when Odysseus goes to bed with Diomedes (more often, when he goes on a convenient mission or to an isolated strip of sand or into a dark corner of camp with Diomedes), he can’t avoid the fine thread of nausea at dishonoring him.

    Diomedes doesn’t act like Odysseus is, but still

     

    In the first year of the war, Odysseus and Diomedes pick up a past time.
