    Summary

    Ambessa’s forces had fallen back, but there had been a price. Many lives were lost, Caitlyn and Mel had locked down the city of Piltover, trying to dig out the rapidly increasing infection of the Anomaly within the Undercity that had taken hold. The Black Rose waits patiently in the wings, the raven watching with a keen eye.

    Jinx and Vander went missing when they fell through the destruction of the Hexcore, Ekko searching for any clues he could find on their disappearance, Vi working tirelessly alongside him. Meanwhile, Sevika tries to secure what she can of Zaun, suddenly fearing even more for the place she calls home. The Arcane lurks around every corner now, making it unsafe as quarantines take place.

    And Jayce… Viktor wants to keep him alive now that they’re going to be partners again. Jayce just wants to breathe.

    Summary

    Waves of color permeate the air, that buzz in his head growing louder and he hisses in pain, leaning heavily against his cane. He feels rooted to the spot as something emerges from the spattering of colors, a flashing light that nearly blinds him. It grows and grows, shimmering like starbursts, sparking wildly. He squeezes his eyes shut and something splutters with a pop, fizzling almost violently in the air.

    He opens his eyes and there is a man before him, falling to his knees with a shuttering gasp, hands gripped tight around the arm of a hammer. All Viktor can see is shaggy dark hair and tattered clothes before amber brown eyes are staring wildly up at him, bloodshot and wide—

    And familiar. So, so familiar.

    Viktor would know him anywhere, anywhere at all, just by those eyes.

     

    (Or, a feral Jayce drops into the lap of a Viktor who has yet to invent Hextech.)

    Summary

    “Enlighten me, Odysseus. What do you value most?” Patience was a waning thing in Zeus’ tone, the god leaning in close and as smothering as the humid front of a storm. A strong hand grasped Odysseus’ jaw, bringing in the king nose to nose to with a god who now stood to scale with the man atop the deck.

    The unblinking eyes of his crew and the electric gaze of a king upon him, nowhere to run and none to outwit. To persuade? Odysseus raised his chin in Zeus’ grasp, shrugging off his tattered tunic from his shoulder, “There are many roads to settle a debt owed, no?”

    The fingertips digging into his jaw slackened for but a moment, the gall of a mortal making Zeus briefly falter before he spoke, “Persuade me then.”

    Summary

    “Maybe you could learn to forgive.”

    Poseidon really could’ve, but it’s too late to learn that lesson now. You could say he was taught a lesson either way – but he wouldn’t be the only one. Yes, soon, all of Olympus will learn: The Earthshaker was brought to his knees by a mortal.

    Summary

    Disclaimer: EPIC: The Musical belongs to the amazing and talented Jorge Rivera-Herrans and Winion Entertainment. Sorry folks, I am not that talented to be able to produce a wonderful musical like that!

    In which I write a whole au for EPIC: The Musical instead of doing my homework because I mother-ducking can =D
    Ok so here:
    Basically, one day Jorge & all of the EPIC cast gets transported into Mount Olympus, where they’re forced to take care of the gods. The EPIC cast finally meets Hermes, while Jay & Troy are quite literally running in the opposite direction. Aphrodite and Janani Maya are absolute girlbosses, Earle Graham Jr. and Ares are just 😐, Brandon McInnis and Apollo are just like the sunny bois over there (slay btw), Mike Rivera and Hephaestus being old men building stuff and talking about Jay, Poesy and Hera dancing it up, Poseidon asking Steven multiple questions on why Jay looks so much like Odysseus, Teagan and Athena BEING THE TOP TIER GIRLBOSSES, Aeolus just laughing over how he has a female version of him, and then Luke and Zeus are just 🧍…

    Summary

    “Get the fuck away from me!”

    “Perimedes” Eurylochus started, carefully picking his way down the steps.

    “Perimedes, control yourself” Odysseus spoke over him.

    “Oh, fuck you” Perimedes huffed out, a tired, hollow sound.

    Odysseus squared his shoulders, stare hardening.

    “Enough” he said. “If you want to make a scene, at least wait until we’re back on the beach.”

    Perimedes’ nostrils flared.

    "You're a fucking hypocrite!"

     

    Or the one where yet another tragedy has struck, tensions climb impossibly higher, and all Odysseus would like is a Fucking Break!

    Summary

    An illicit faction requires an easily manipulable but ultimately dispensable team of four. Karasuno Volleyball Club's first years fit the bill. Hinata Shouyou's athleticism and lack of self-preservation. Kageyama Tobio's precision and spatial awareness. Yamaguchi Tadashi's social finesse and unassuming influence. Tsukishima Kei's brilliance and observational skills. All four children already adjusted to a team dynamic. All four children vulnerable enough to be manipulated into compliance. All four children perfect on paper.

    No one bothered to consider that Tsukishima Kei would try to manipulate them right back.

    -

    An excuse for me to hurt characters and then make them comfort each other. Sporadic updates.

    Summary

    "There’s not much to say, when you survive the wrath of a god.

    You know of their power, you hear the stories, the tales of caution. You have an idea of what they can do (in theory, of course.)

    But…there had been nothing like that in the fields of Troy.

    So many familiar faces. So many names etched into his tongue after ten long years.

    He’ll remember them. Each and every one of their names. He’ll run them through his mind, and he’ll speak them into the air.

    They weren’t even able to recover a single body…"

     

    Some things change, but many (too many) stay the same
    Odysseus and his crew (what's left) manage to escape Poseidon and dock at the first island they see.
    But grief isn't all they must contend with. There's the betrayal to deal with. The safety (or lack thereof) of staying on this mysterious island. And the guilt.
    So much guilt...

    Summary

    Odysseus can't resist another day stuck on Calypso's island, and in a panic he can't think of any other way to escape her if not in a last desperate attempt to swim back to Ithaca.
    But now he's helpless and in the middle of the sea, Poseidon doesn't take long to catch him and transform him into a triton to keep him prisoner and prevent him from ever being able to turn back home.

    Summary

    “She offered me everything, Zeus,” Odysseus continued, his voice low and intimate. “But I resisted, for my heart belonged only to Penelope. Like this...”

    ‘Witnessing this,’ Eurylochus thought as he watched Odysseus- still bleeding and wearing what was practically rags by now- sway dramatically, ‘was worse than being potentially dead.’

    Hera, sensing the tension between the mortal and her husband, cleared her throat pointedly. “That's enough, Odysseus,” she interjected with a raised eyebrow, her tone carrying a hint of amusement.

     

    Or, how Odysseus managed to save himself as well as his crew. He learnt that ruthlessness was mercy from Poseidon, and that there are other ways of persuation from Circe.

    Summary

    An AU where the four nations speak different languages:

    The plan had been simple...

    Step 1. Break the Avatar out of the Pohuai Stronghold.
    Step 2. Drag the Avatar back to his ship.
    Step 3. Sail home.
    Step 4. Present the Avatar to his father and have his honor restored.

    Nowhere in the plan had Zuko accounted for becoming injured and the Avatar dragging him back to their camp. It certainly hadn't accounted for them taking him prisoner. Nor had it accounted for the added complication of Avatar's companions not having the decency to learn the Common Dialect. Only the Avatar understands him and communication in the group is a tangled mess.

    Because when you don't speak the same language, how can you find a Common Ground?

    What if instead of being a huge asshole, Antinous was a guy with a big heart? What if he decided to help Penelope to keep away other suitors, while becoming a big brother figure to Telemachus?

    Summary

    He wished that it didn’t have to be like this. That he didn’t have to choose between himself and his subjects, his brothers, his family. He really didn’t want to do this..but if it was the only way for him to get home. So be it.

    He hoped that they would understand, and if not? They could hate him all they wanted but he wouldn’t regret his decision.

    He meant it when he said that he would do anything to get to Penelope.

    Or

    Odysseus gets a chance to fix the mistakes that he and his crew made during their journey back home.

    Let’s hope he does it right.

    Summary

    “Two men just died.”
    “I know.”
    “We left their remains, unburied, in that monster’s den.”
    “I know” Odysseus repeated. “And we will honor them, and mourn for them, and remember them. We will pray to the lord of the underworld to have mercy on their spirits. We will bring the tales of their bravery and prowess in battle to those who await their return.”
    “We will do all that, and more if we think it might appease their spirits, but first, I will see Polites’ leg tended to” Odysseus said.
    Eurylochus pressed his lips together. He thought he could feel Polites’ blood drying over his hands, crusting around his knuckles. He wondered why Odysseus chose to hold Polites’ hand, while Eurylochus was left holding together his opened flesh.

     

    Or the one where Polites lives.
    The storm still happens.
    Eurylochus still doubts.
    And Odysseus' great days are fatedly numbered

    Summary

    “Not now. I’m busy.”

    Astyanax puffed his cheeks, but at the familiar vocabulary, obeyed in releasing his cape. “Why?” he asked.

    “Because your tata’s busy,” Eurylochus said slowly, more to stave off his own temper than to ease the words for the child, “and if he’s busy, then so am I.”

    Astyanax blinked. Gods above, he was curious now. “Why?”

    It was unbecoming of the captain’s right-hand man to groan, so he settled for pinching the bridge of his nose and inhaling slowly. His duties officially impeded upon by an unsupervised child, he finally whirled on Astyanax.

    ---

    OR: In an absurd twist of fate, much to Eurylochus's disapproval, Odysseus chooses to raise the infant as his own. Five (5) times Eurylochus didn't want to care for the infant in question, and the one (1) time he unfortunately did.

    What Noah wants to say is what the fuck?

    What he says instead is, "Whatever you need me to do, I'll do it."

    How Noah "befriends" Rex as a job, and then realizes it's not as fake as he thought it was.
