    Summary

    Penelope awakens to see ships on the horizon, Ithacan ships. But with no news from Troy, she can do nothing but wait for them to make landfall.

    aka.

    Odysseus returns home a lot earlier than in the original and get's to be a dad, because I said so. -_-

    ( this fic has grown way beyond what I intended, so it now contains an ever growing amount of family fluff, hard conversations and the long term effects of war. )

     

    There now is a pre Trojan war fic as well, if family fluff is your thing,

    Summary

    Five seconds was all it took.

    If Odysseus had registered what the fruit was just five seconds earlier, he could’ve stopped Polites from biting into it.

    But those five seconds had passed, and Odysseus was left staring in horror at the pile of fabric where Polites had just been standing.

    “P-Polites..”

    (Or just Lotus Eater Polites shenanigans)

    Summary

    What If Odysseus wasn't the one to go to war? What if Ctimene took his place basically pulling a Mulan/Deborah Sampson so Odysseus could keep their kingdom safe and be involved in Telemachus' life? Yet, Ithaca would still join in the war plus as Ares champion, she wasn't afraid of a little bloodshed.

    How will her choices affect the original story? Would more soldiers die? Or be saved? And how is Eurylochuis going to deal with his wife not only looking good in armor and short hair but is also a caring aunt/mom!?

    Summary

    Basically
    Polites just got out of a relationship, has a daughter, and falls in love with his daughter's teacher.

    This is not canon to any mythology lore/Epic the musical lore. This is all an AU (ALTERNATE universe). This is my first time posting a story so please give me a moment to get used to all of this 🙏

    Summary

    Sometimes mercy has a price, sometimes you gotta be cold as ice, empathy makes you good but it does not make you right. A goddess can go and save your life, everything can change because of a living man, even when mercy disappears and a small crew is better off using fear. The world is insincere and dangerous for a kind person.

    Hear me out guys, it’s a great au, just let me cook. Also, a lot of Elpenor/Perimedes cuz I love them. English is not my first language, if you see a mistake, plz tell me.

    Vivan los headcanons y los fanfics, el canon es un pendejo.

    Summary

    Eurylochus remembered dying. He had not fought it, had even welcomed the sweet nothingness in the end, letting go of all the hatred and lies and betrayal for eternal peace. He woke up years in the past, where Polites was still alive. Eurylochus stumbles through life and resigns himself to suffer eternally at the hands of his self-sacrificing family while trying to save said family from themselves.

     

    Extract:

     

    Polites.

    Eurylochus’ heart leapt out of his chest, his legs pulling him towards the curly-haired man even before he knew what he was doing. Feet pounding against the rocky terrain, he ran as fast as he could, dodging boulders and cows and unconscious men sporting a variety of blood splattered wounds.

     

    Polites stood ten feet from the cyclops, helping up a soldier. He frowned when he saw Eurylochus a few paces behind him.

     

    “Eurylochus?" He asked, concerned confusion evident in his tone, the idiot apparently picking up on Eurylochus’ distress but not the fact that the cyclops' club was swinging directly towards his turned head.

     

    No. Not again. Eurylochus thought, begged, as he threw himself onto Polites, a tangle of limbs and swords.

    Summary

    Polites didn't notice the club Polyphemus was swinging towards him.
    Someone else did.
    And all Hades broke lose.

    This is a recreation of EPIC the musical if Odysseus died to Polyphemus instead of Polites. Plus, some added in trauma for the other characters as well!
    Oh- and Athena doesn't leave to get the milk. Instead, she gets to be sad! Like everyone else in the dang fic!

    Summary

    “You can relax, my friend.”

    “Huh-?”

    Odysseus faced Polites, but it wasn't to look at his comrade… It was finally an opportunity for him to turn around and check on what was lurking in the forest's darkness.

    He knew it.

    Something was following them. Something big. In the trees, a large shadow moved from his view, swiftly yet silently. That was no ordinary wild animal. Not something for them to hunt.

    It was hunting them.

    -

    Tl;dr Polites ends up befriending a harpy and begging the crew to let him take her along. After lots of struggles during this trip back to Ithaca, he accidentally ends up slowly falling in love with her.
    (I promise the romance isn't the main focus though, the work is actually made to tell the story of the harpy sisters while also exploring the dynamics of the crew.)

    Summary

    this is a fun fic where Odysseus' crew all make it back alive and Polites hooks up with some gods. and ends up making them fall in love with him
    ---
    "You're disturbing the poor thing." Dionysus complains, rubbing Polites back, earning himself some kisses.

    "Oooh, someone is getting attached~!" Hermes teases,

    “I am not,” he protests, though he still tilts his head slightly in hopes of getting more kisses, hands trailing further down Polites’ body. Though hes interrupted by Hermes climbing into his lap and mushing against them, "I want kisses too," he complains.

    "Go find your own. What happened to the mortal you were dancing with?" Dionysus asks as he tries to shove Hermes off, but the little fucker's persistent.

    “They went to sleep, plus this one's already giving out kisses!” Hermes insists, laughing, enjoying getting to bother someone like always.

    Dionysus is about to get up and make him leave when Polites adjusts himself and pulls Hermes down for kisses as well. Hermes smirks triumphantly, trying to pull Polites off of him, steal his little human from him, but instead Polites resists, trying to keep in Dionysus’ lap while he kisses Hermes.

    Summary

    The sea is unpredictable and full of oddities that even in our time we cannot fully discover. Now, combine that with how whimsical the universe can be and the cruelty of fate, and it no longer sounds so strange that a historical figure and a mythological one might meet, right?
    And it sounds even less strange that they could fall in love.

    ----
    Odysseus smiles as Polites comes to try and snatch Alexander up, helping trip Polites up as she darts around his legs.

    Polites laughs "no fair! it's two against one!" He complains, Alexander sticking her tongue out at him from behind Odysseus.

    "Oh but I am just a shield." Odysseus informs.

    "Captain, you tripped me. that's more than a shield." Polites points out.

    "Ooh, I did?" He gives a smug smile.

    "yes" polities wrinkles his nose at him

    Both Odysseus and Alexander laugh "I think Alexander here is just using his wits."

    Polites looks at them both with suspicion "well he is very smart.." he nods

    "You were just out witted." Odysseus teases

    Polites sighs "guess so"

    Summary

    Slowly, as if attempting to touch a wounded animal, Polites moves one of his hands back to his shoulder. His smile becomes smaller, gentler now. “I can tell you’re getting nervous, so do-”

    “I’m fine, Polites.” He says firmly, interrupting the words that have been plaguing him since his best friend’s passing. He shrugs the other’s hand off his shoulder as he begins to get up from where he had been sitting. Odysseus cautiously adjusts his grip on the babe in his arms, ensuring that Astyanax will not fall from his arms.
