    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

    What can you give a boy who has everything? Two parents, palace walls, a love of the vines that crawl up them and a love for his people. The only answer, evidently, is friends. Interesting ones that he has never had before. The journey from ‘Prince Odysseus’ to ‘Ody’ and around twice more.

    Alternatively:

    There are many ways to describe Odysseus; the wily, the cunning, the sacker of cities. Homer's favorite seemed to be gayly, and I am no different. Take that as you will.

    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

    Polites was certain the last words he would ever hear came from the Cyclops, his declaration sealing his fate and that of many of his men. But the Fates or Gods seemed to have a different plan in mind as another voice entered his unconscious mind.

    "Polites?" Penelope asked. "What are you doing here?

    When you're forced to move to a town outside of America, located in the middle of nowhere because of your a̶u̶n̶t̶ mom, you can't help but be nervous, as you had grown up in the southern countryside and had grown comfortable with your surroundings despite your past. Even so, you wouldn't let any indifference change your kind demeanor.

    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

    Hey guys it’s almond (/ref) back with another chatfic wooooow
    This fandom has no idea who I am but that’s ok bc I’ll torment y’all with crack and gay people and uhhh historically inaccurate headcanons ^_^

    Btw I think the ship name for Penelope and Odysseus should actually be Penelody bc there’s no way ody is the top /hj

    Also I think this is gonna roughly follow the timeline of the sagas??? Maybe we’ll see if I do that

    Summary

    Odysseus's luck has long since run out and with every passing year on Calypso's island that fact seems more damning. The fates have it out for him and getting stuck in a room with his past self and his long dead crew only proves that point. At least his family is there too. If only they didn't have to watch his disaster of a journey...

    Summary

    Because if this did work, it changed so much. It meant he had another chance, and another, maybe infinite chances. He could keep his promises, he could fix his mistakes. He could get them home alive.

    No matter how long it took, he would get them home alive.

    Summary

    An Odyssey Fanfiction based on EPIC: the musical, and a tumblr post I read a while back of Odysseus meeting and adopting the prophet Cassandra, who had been cursed so that "Nobody would believe her."

    Of course, if he's going to adopt Cassandra, who he never met in the OG story... why not adopt the kid he was supposed to yeet over a wall, and perhaps change the fate of what's supposed to happen along the way!?

    But having a seer on board is not as helpful as I thought it would be...

    Summary

    The Trojan War has finally finished, and Eurylochus is ready to return home to his wife Ctimene, to pick up the threads where he left off ten years ago. But he knows that although the war is done in name, it's not really over until they reach home. There are 600 miles between him and home. 600 miles of dangers and things that might go wrong. 600 miles of decisions that he doesn't agree with. 600 miles that he's not sure they'll ever complete.

    Summary

    This is my imagining of what happened during and before 600 strike. A misunderstanding leads Polites to be killed long before his time, falling victim to the Cyclops' mighty club. Years later, he does a huge favor for the Gods and decides to call in a boon- a boon that will change the entire path of the story and history forever.

    Polites is dead. But some gods have decided to bring him back to life, even if it's not exactly allowed.

    Summary

    Fate binds all beings that touch the universe. It strings someone the moment they are brought into the world. It is a power that is believed to transcend the gods themselves. Although there are an infinitesimal number of ways to counter it, only one is known: luck.

    Reigning king of Ithaca. In another world, the karmic scale swung against his favor to maintain balance. 10 years of success in exchange for 10 more years of misfortune. In that world, he abandoned his mercy and adopted the aphorism "ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves". He lost 600 men, and he lost a part of himself with them. However, that's not the world told here. No, here, Odysseus had room for more kindness and self-sacrifice. Here, one god looked upon him. A god infamous for their hand in influencing the world yet forgotten by all but the most ancient beings. Odysseus receives a boon, one that may make or break his way home: the favor of of a certain god he did not have in the other world.

    When Odysseus strikes a deal with the metaphorical devil to defy fate, he may have defied his doom, but he pays in more than blood.

    What does it take to break free from your preordained path? What does it cost to break the laws of the universe?

    Summary

    Polites' hand shook as it gripped its handle, hating how good it felt in his hand, how naturally it seemed to connect with him. He looked down at the weapon and took a sharp inhale. For the first time in nearly twenty years, Polites held a sword, held THE sword. A sword passed from the great King Ares to his father, and from his father to him. The one he promised he'd never touch again.
    or

    What if Polites saw the events of the last year of the war- the deaths of his friends Patroclus and Achilles, the recruitment of Achilles' son, the death of Astyanax at a teenager's hand- and decided to end the war himself? In one night?
