    Summary

    Then, softly—so softly Odysseus nearly missed it—he whispered:

    “All I hear are screams.”

    It was not a soldier’s voice. It wasn’t even a frightened man’s voice. It was a broken one. Empty.

    Odysseus felt something twist in his chest. “Back away from the rail,” he ordered, his voice strained, tight with something he hadn’t felt in weeks—fear.

    •••••••

    Or what if Eurylochus hadn't said anything back at Scylla and there hadn't been any mutiny towards Odysseus afterwards?

    Summary

    Nakamura loved two things:

    1. Icchan, his red octopus: compulsive aquarium rearranger, LEGO collector, and quite possibly the first cephalopod in recorded history to moonlight as a therapist. He listened to every one of Nakamura's rambles about the light-haired boy without a single flicker of judgment. An excellent quality in a confidant.
    2. Hirose, who carried a laugh Nakamura had memorised like a song — warm, funny, and entirely unaware that Nakamura found something to fall for in even the way Hirose breathed.

    The two of them were the axis his world turned on.

    Then Icchan gets sick.

    Nakamura starts losing sleep, skipping meals, researching symptoms until his fingers ache, slowly sinking while he tries to keep the axis in place. And because the universe clearly has an outstanding score to settle with him — this is exactly when Hirose decides to start paying attention. Now Nakamura has to keep Icchan alive, keep himself upright, and figure out what to do with the boy of his dreams offering to help for the very first time.

    Hirose, for his part, only wanted to help. He hadn't expected to learn how to care for a sick octopus — nor to realise he might be taking care of two things at once.

    Summary

    He’d begun talking to her. Sometimes he swore she understood, giving well-timed huffs and nods as if there was sentience behind those chestnut eyes. Perhaps there was. There must have been, considering she was down here. She had a soul that remained after death.

    Eurylochus told her of his wife, his friends, his life. The one who had tried to stop him from killing her, he told her, was Odysseus, his brother in law—and nearly by blood, too, for all the time they’d spent together as children. He told her of kind Polites and his untimely death, how he had been the adhesive holding the crew together.

    “I think that was where it started going wrong,” he said. His voice was an echo, and was not made up of words so much as thoughts and ideas now that he had no body to mould his sounds into more distinct shapes. “You would have loved him.” Darling laid her head across his lap, her ears slapping gently against his forearm. Eurylochus gave them a good scratch. “I did,” he said. “Everyone loved him.”

    /////

    Or: Eurylochus is dead. So is the cow he intended to eat.

    They are each other's afterlife.

    Summary

    That night, what Taichi needed was catharsis. To let his thoughts stab at the words on a page instead of the pulses of his brain.

    Maybe that would shut him up.
