    Summary

    Telemachus feels like there’s yet another stranger in their home.

    He knows it's his father. He knows that the man is Odysseus, finally back home after twenty years. He knows that the very palace he calls home was built by this man, brick by brick. And yet he can't shake the feeling that he doesn't know this man.

    or;

    I have been going insane about Odysseus and Telemachus' relationship after he returns and had to get my thoughts out. They're both hurting and their relationship is complicated, but they'll find a way to make it work.

    Summary

    'What If' scenarios for the Frayed Feathers AU. I would highly recommend reading "I'll Be Home With Frayed Feathers" first if you haven't already, otherwise you may be a bit confused. Other than that I hope you are willing to give these silly little scenarios a chance!

    Now Including:
    1. Poseidon discovering Odysseus's wings early and making the wrong conclusions
    2. Zeus giving the choice to somebody else and the aftermath of said choice
    3. A look at how poorly things could have gone for Odysseus as a child when his wings first grew
    4. A very long, dramatic and fluffy alternate version of how Odysseus and Penelope met and fell in love
    5. A less than ideal reunion between Odysseus and Hermes on Calypso's island
    6. Hermes trying, and failing, to keep Odysseus a secret from the other gods

    Summary

    Odysseus of Ithaca, the sacker of Troy, had angered the gods during his travels many times. But what if, through his wit, sheer stubbornness and love for his family, he had managed to convince the gods to care for him as their own?
    The Olympians are equal parts baffled and intrigued by this man, who is not nearly as fearful as he ought to be when in their presence. Their eyes, unavoidably, turn to Ithaca.

    Or Odysseus decides he can’t lose Athena right after being robbed of Polites and refuses to let her go. Somehow it makes his life so much better and at the same time also so much worse.

    Or or Odysseus gets home earlier than in the original myth but now Ithaca is somehow starting to look like second Olympus and he has a few ideas what to do about it (they all go horribly)
    Penelope is not impressed. Neither is Eurylochus.
    Telemachus is just happy to have his dad home.

    Summary

    After six years on Ogygia, Odysseus finally manages to make contact with the outside world and, more specifically, his ex-patron goddess, Athena.

    After six years of her ex-friend being trapped on an island with a lust-stricken nymph, Athena finally manages to answer his prayers. They figure it out.

    OR

    Athena and Odysseus decide that this timeline is fucked beyond repair and they should scrap it, go back in time to before Polyphemus, and try again.
