    Summary

    There were rumors, quickly squashed by the island kingdom, that the Prince of Ithaca had grown wings on his feet when he was a boy. There were rumors that he had wings elsewhere too; on his back and behind his ears. They were squashed even quicker. Anyone who could get a look at the prince could see that his body was not adorned in feathers of any kind.

    None of them knew, and Ithaca’s royal family planned to keep it that way. Fearing that this problem of unknown origin (curse or yet another divine being’s fling with a mortal) would be seen as an insult to the gods and bring down their wrath. Odysseus has grown used to having to cut down or hide the extra appendages, but the struggle only grew when he was forced into the Trojan War.

    Now, with the war at its end and his fleet ready to return home, he only has one thing on his mind; getting home to his wife and son.

     

    OR

     

    An alternate universe where Hermes's relation to one particular Greek hero becomes a bit more prominent, and he suddenly has a much better reason to help Odysseus on his journey home.

    Summary

    "Azula’s answering grin is bitter and horrible and broken as she leans in close to Aang’s face and says, ‘Listen Avatar, I can either join your group, or I’ll do something unspeakably horrible to your friends. Your choice.’”

    OR: After Zhao’s failed siege, Zuko and Iroh are captured. A few weeks later, Ozai receives a ransom from the Northern Water Tribe signed in Zuko’s blood. Unfortunately for the Firelord, Zuko’s safety is all Azula cares about.

    OR: Unfortunately for Sokka, that means the Gaang has not one, but two unstable, broken fire siblings to deal with. Y’know. Once they break Zuko out of prison. Because this is not a situation that calls for torture (probably. HE'S still on the fence about it, screw Aang and Katara and their stupid morals and how much he agrees with them)

    Summary

    Anakin is stuck twenty-five years in the past. It’s only a matter of time before the masters can figure out a way to return him home, but when he witnesses Qui-Gon’s staunch refusal to train Obi-Wan, Anakin’s fury on behalf of his master unintentionally derails both their paths.

    Summary

    Anakin is not the Jedi he should be. The Force feels like chaos all around him. He can’t use it the way other Jedi do. He can’t find balance or the serenity that he’s heard so many Jedi speak about. But maybe he doesn’t need to. Maybe he’s not supposed to use it the same way as the others. Maybe he’s meant to do more.

    Or the one where Shmi’s death doesn’t turn Anakin to the dark side. Instead, he saves her, frees himself of the block between him and the Force, and becomes the Bad Ass Jedi he always dreamt he would be.
