Summary
Control isn’t a thing you let go of easily once you have it. It’s hard to gain it, it’s harder to keep it.
Telemachus has his own life, now that the suitors are six feet under. Despite their death, their presence and actions still wander in Telemachus’ very life and mind. He wants to control it. He needs something to create, to want, to control. As he figures out a way to control his anger and frustration, a very dear Someone comes over to Ithaca, as they finally can see each other again.

Summary
Morpheus, the God of Dreams, takes pity on the King and Queen of Ithaca. Odysseus’s return is many years away, yet his and Penelope’s minds find each other in sleep. It’s both a blessing and a curse, and sometimes all that keeps them going.
Queen Penelope stepped into the dream as easily as crossing a threshold, and with her came the sun, as if Helios's carriage rode atop her billowing black hair. The carnage vanished in her presence, the ground no longer a battlefield but a sloping grassy hill dotted with olive trees. Her bright blue eyes almost glowed, searching the hillside with clear intent.
The King of Ithaca stood, gazing at her as if she were a vision of Aphrodite herself. The blood streaking his face and staining his hands evaporated in the wake of her sunlight, the dead bundle in his arms vanishing with it.
Morpheus stared as well, unable to believe that she stood before them. It was no shaped dream becoming a nightmare, no conjuration of the King’s mind to protect himself. It was her, slipping into his dream as if it were a room in their home. Answering her husband’s desperate cries.

Summary
Telemachus has spent his whole life locked behind the palace walls, a prince in name but a prisoner in truth. With the fire of his father’s blood burning in his veins, he longs for the sea, for battle, for freedom, for a life beyond his mother’s grief and the suitors who mock him in his own halls.
But one night can change everything. One choice can turn a boy into a man, and a dream into destiny.
That's when he met him.

Summary
“I am most delighted,” Penelope had said, fingers tightening gently around Ctimene’s hand, her voice earnest with joy. “Truly, most delighted – that Odysseus has a sister. For I–” and there she had laughed softly, as though confessing some girlish hope, “ –I was raised in a house of men, you see. Only brothers I had, loud and brawling, and no beloved sister. I had always longed for an elder sister. And now, the gods have granted one to me at last.”
She looked to Ctimene with wide open eyes, searching for the spark of shared sentiment. But the warmth she offered was not returned.
Ctimene had frowned, her lips parting with a slowness that suggested the words had waited long behind her teeth. She drew back just enough to reclaim the space between them, cold.
(or, in the early days after her arrival to Ithaca, Penelope talks to Ctimene in an effort to get closer to her new husband's sister - it does not go so well)

Summary
In short, Poseidon finds Telemachus' ship as he's sailing back to Ithaca from his diplomatic mission. After realizing it was Odysseus' son, he blinded Telemachus and drowned the ship, leaving only one survivor to tell the tale. To make sure Odysseus -if he were to ever return- would know that it was he who murdered the boy. A son for a son.
In retaliation, the Fates take pity on him and decide to send him back to when the suitors started showing up, to find a way to get rid of them once and for all, and to perhaps live to see the day his father comes back home.
In addition to this, the Fates have given him prophetic dreams, well, some are prophetic, others are of the past. Either way, he gets a new power beneath his belt and maybe he'll show the suitors just how hard a little Wolf's bite could be.

Summary
Penelope waited twenty years for Odysseus. And now he's home. Of course she loves him, but sometimes a thought -- one laced with sadness, pain, and resentment latches in her mind. Odysseus sees it, he feels it, but doesn't know how to respond as his own fears begin to grow.
The story of Penelope's vulnerable moments and Odysseus' attempts to help his wife -- reaching a boiling point that puts them both at their limit. Despite it all, though, their love continues on.

The erasure of justice and the crimes of the heinous by Robynshereallalone
Fandoms: EPIC - Jorge Rivera-Herrans (Albums), The Odyssey - Homer
22 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
This is a story actually based off of Lady Athena and Medusa and the erasure of the story of women who are brought justice BY the bringer of justice—Lady Athena. I am a hellenic polytheist so I try to always be respectful, but this is for fictional purposes and all characterization will not be completely accurate.
----
After Odysseus comes back, Antinous isn't killed on the spot. Which means that when Penelope saw Odysseus and confirmed it was him, she was utterly relieved, only to see him keel over with a blooming red stain from the sword in him driven in by Antinous, the very suitor who's haunted her halls for three years.
This makes Penelope plummet into a deeper depression, and this makes Telemachus fall into a spiral and despair from the fact his father came back only to be killed.
Penelope is desperate for help, for a helping hand, for someone to hold her in their lap like Odysseus would.

Summary
The ocean waves brushed against the shores and his grandmother turned to look at him. Her eyes were not as deep now, no longer a rich green but murky and faded.
A lump formed in his throat, every thought leaving him at the sight of her face. Serine was the only way to describe it, a peacefulness he had never seen.
Their calm evening now felt too much like a goodbye. The setting sun an omen for events yet to come.
Or,
Telemachus was not having a fun time while his father was away for twenty years. Twenty years without his dad, almost eight of them spent dealing with 108 suitors trying to marry his mom, not a fun time. This is a story about Telemachus, what happened in their home while Odysseus was away and how life changed when he returned.Series

someone who reaches out to my weakness (and won't let go) by cosmotron
Fandoms: EPIC - Jorge Rivera-Herrans (Albums)

Tags
Summary
It has been over six months since Odysseus returned, and the happiness of having him home is almost too much to be believed.
Though that doesn't stop Penelope's nightmares. Or the awful clawing fear that reaches for her whenever she is alone, when he or Telemachus are out of her sight.
But what does it matter? She wishes to soothe their pains, not burden them with her own. She is fine. She is fine.
(Or, a fic in which Penelope is the one being cared for and comforted for once.)
