Summary
“I’ll do anything,” Orpheus says. His knees are beginning to buckle under him. “I’ll work in the mines. I’ll work on the wall.”
“Son, you wouldn’t last a day down there,” the god drawls.
“Then I’ll sing,” he croaks. “I’ll sing for your workers to keep them in line. I’ll sing for your wife, to keep her underground. Please…” He glances back at the house—really more of a shack—where Eurydice lies by the dwindling fire. “I can’t let her starve.”
Silence. Then, a quirk of the lips—not really a smile, but the gesture of one. “I suppose I could use a canary.”

Summary
“Find Medusa?” Percy spluttered, trying and failing not to sound indignant. “Nobody wants to find Medusa. You run into Medusa while trying to retrieve your uncle’s stolen lightning bolt and then mail her head to the gods after she keeps talking about how your eyes are like your father’s.”
From behind him, Piper raised a single finger. “When you mail what to whom?”
Percy glanced over his shoulder to give her a shrug. “Don’t worry about it. I was twelve,” he said before turning back to where Gabe was still fighting against the ropes binding his hands together. “Do you have any idea what to do with him?”
Nico leaned over, craning his neck to better peer at the hot sauce that still stained Gabe’s face despite the years of statue-ification. “Um, we could see if your dad wants to turn him into a fish or something?”
Percy grimaced. If Gabe Ugliano was a fish, then he’d be forced to hear the man’s voice in his head for years to come. But also, he could maybe mount him on a wall, so perhaps it wasn’t an entirely terrible idea.
Or
Medusa’s sculptures are mysteriously coming back to life. Percy doesn’t think murder is an unreasonable action given the circumstances.

Summary
The first time, Odysseus was fairly young.
Below ten years of age, and the man had been very nice, giving him a piece of itria, the sesame brittle crunching deliciously crisp and sweet between his teeth, and promising lots more in his ship.
The cage had been padded at the bottom, and smelled of lamb, which Odysseus had liked; and it was the safest part of the ship when the storms came, sturdy and tied down to the mast, so while everyone and everything else was thrown about, Odysseus could nap at the bottom, safe from the winds and roiling waves.
All those who live have a destiny, woven into the tapestry of the Fates.
Odysseus finds out that his destiny is really really shitty and annoying.
Luckily, Odysseus knows how to make the best of anything that happens.
Step 1: learn to lie really really well.
Step 2: acquire sheep and breed them REALLY well
Step 3: Run real good
Step 4: ????
Step 5: Profit!Chapter 22: Braids
In which Diomedes has a request, Sthenelus has a mild revelation, and Odysseus... has his sheep.Series

Summary
Aphrodite had foreseen Paris' triumph – her triumph, in truth. The moment his eyes would fall upon Helen of Sparta, he would understand: this was the reward for his devotion, this was the woman the gods themselves had deemed worthy of a prince so favoured.
She had not foreseen his rejection.
Had not expected him to turn away from the prize she had laid before him, to spurn the very woman he had once coveted with all his heart.
Nor had she anticipated that his desire would stray – not to another queen, most certainly not to Helen’s own cousin.
Penelope of Sparta.
(Or, after coming across a portrait of Penelope during his time in Sparta, Paris of Troy switches his kidnapping victim from Helen to Penelope. This proves far more detrimental than anyone could have imagined - a spark burning so bright that even the Gods on Olympus are caught in its flames.)

Summary
Once he’d drawn the connection between the boy and his wife, Odysseus couldn’t help but notice the rest of the similarities. The dark curl of his hair, the small divot between his brows as he observed him in return.
It had been months since he’d last seen any child, and that age-old mix of guilt and longing returned with a vengeance. He would see Telemachus in all of them, imagining his smile or his laughter in place of theirs. He’d missed too much. That this child would remind him of his wife in any capacity left him feeling like the air had been punched out of him.
Odysseus tore his gaze back to Circe with herculean effort, trying and failing to ignore the familiar pain taking root in his chest.
Or, still reeling from the loss of his men, Odysseus ends up on a mysterious island, inhabited by a volatile witch and her favourite apprentice. The child is unnervingly familiar, with clever eyes and a penchant for insulting strangers. More than that, the stakes to get home just got significantly higher.

Summary
In the nineth year of the Trojan War, Odysseus stumbles upon a little boy in the forests of Troy. With Achilles refusing to fight and the Achaeans at a distinct disadvantage, he doesn't have the time or energy to deal with bringing a Trojan child back to camp and the uproar that will likely follow it.
It really is too bad that Odysseus is nothing if not a victim to his fate-- and to the tear-filled eyes of a boy not much younger than his son.
or: my take on an astyanax lives au with inspiration taken from the events of 'the horse and the infant' and the iliad (though, you don't need to have read it to understand what's happening).

Summary
"What," Eurylochus said bewilderedly as Sthenelus shoved the wax tablet and stylus into his hands.
"He's scamming all the kings and captains out of sheep," Sthenelus said darkly.

In which Odysseus is being a squirrelly bastard, Diomedes the child-soldier is getting an A in dating and working on that 'A+' , which is a normal and reasonable thing to achieve.

Summary
Tensions are high between Odysseus and Eurylochus. Scylla and Zeus have been dealt with, the crew has fallen back in line, and yet Eurylochus refuses to admit fault. Out of all the men, Eurylochus is the only one who won’t accept that Odysseus made the right choice in Scylla’s lair. Odysseus needs to hear it though. How else is he supposed to live with the guilt if Eurylochus won’t absolve him? And Eurylochus will admit it—even if Odysseus has to force the words out of him.

“Am I dead?” he asked, because he should be dead. He should be at the bottom of that lake, drowning under the bodies of decomposing inferi, but—
“Calm down, Black, you only fell off your broom."
—instead he was two years in the past. Alive. And with a whole new mess to deal with.

There were a few things Oliver didn't know. What that meant for him, it shouldn't have mattered. What it should've done was start and end with his complicated rivalry with Marcus Flint, but of course, things could never really happen as they should.
In other words, Oliver forgets his life (and his boyfriend), and the reality of it comes crashing back down on him.
