  Summary

  Dear god, I would die for you, he thought as the baby opened one bleary one and stared, unfocused, up at him.

  …

  Odysseus holding his newborn son in the hospital room shortly after his birth and realizing how much love he is capable of.

  Not particularly based on any one characterization, though this is kinda inspired by EPIC: the Musical. I don't own these characters, but I don't know if anyone really does since they are technically folk heroes and figures from a civilization that no longer exists.

  Anyways, enjoy!

  Summary

  Last Menelaus had seen of Helen was at the year end party that year. She ended up transferring to Troy High for their graduating year. From what Menelaus saw on social media and heard from her sister Clytemnestra, she was still happily dating Paris.

  …

  Menelaus runs into his high school girlfriend after ten years.

  The characterizations aren’t based on any particular interpretation. This takes place in the same universe as the previous fic in this series, but can be read as a stand alone.

  I don’t own these characters, but I don’t think anyone actually does because they are figures and heroes in a culture of a civilization that no longer exists.

  Anyways, enjoy!

  Summary

  “Helen… what happened?”

  “That night?”

  “Between you and me.”

  …

  Helen and Menelaus meet up at a café to talk about where they are in life now and why they broke up ten years prior.

  This is a follow up to Who I am now that my armor’s worn?, but it’s not necessary to read that to understand this work. This isn’t based on any particular characterization from media.

  I don’t own these characters, but I don’t think anyone does, since they are folk figures from a civilization/culture that no longer exists.

  Anyways, enjoy!
