    Summary

    The wisest thing to do would be to forget everything. Let him rot on the island at the hands of Calypso and simply admit her defeat. However, contradicting her mind, this time the heart of the goddess Athena speaks louder. Hearing Odysseus' continuous cries and prayers, she cannot stand still. Therefore, the goddess of wisdom takes matters into her own hands and goes in search of Odysseus, defying the will of the gods and, especially, of her own Father.

    Alternate Universe in which Athena fails to convince the gods to free Odysseus, breaks the deal and goes to save him anyway. And, in the process, discovers feelings until then buried in her own neglected heart.

    OdyAt? Idk. Great fic! Perhaps reincarnation integration into the Percy Jackson fandom? Would be a great idea to explore... maybe I'll write it.

    Summary

    ​"It's Sozin's fleet," she whispered, the venom draining from her voice, replaced by a hollow, creeping horror. "Those ships... they were decommissioned before I was even born."
    ​"We didn't just move," Aang said, the crushing weight of reality settling onto his shoulders. "The Catacombs... the energy. We tore a hole in the timeline. We're in the past, Azula. Before the war. Before I was frozen."

    Summary

    She thinks he feels the same draw she does. An intellectual fascination, of course, for the only other person who can match them. But a sexual one too. It comes with the territory, she thinks, she’s never been truly attracted to a man who couldn’t match her for brains. She never tries to hide it from him – feels no shame in it at all, in fact. He’s handsome and familiar, with a consistent solidity to him that appeals to her after the slippery, whippet-thinness of Benny. Beth is a person with a bad habit of clinging onto the familiar whether it’s good for her or not. She’s been watching him on screens and in pictures since she stole her very first copy of Chess Review; she knows his face better than most men in her life. And, anyway, this can’t be worse for her than the pills.
