Summary
Antinous, youngest son of a mortal king but secretly sired by Zeus, carries a scar from his father’s thunder that marks him as chosen — and cursed. Denied a place in his own house, he sets his sights on Ithaca, believing that to wed Penelope is to crown himself.
But Telemachus, prince of Ithaca, is no meek heir.He sees through Antinous’s hunger for power, hates him for it, and burns with the fire of his own gods. When Athena herself places her hand on Telemachus’s shoulder, and whispers that love and ruin often come cloaked together, the boy who despises his enemy begins to crave him instead.

Summary
And then, she began to hear noises.
Screams, shouts. The strange fastening of arms. Throws, misses.
There was a galloping of hooves, a sound of anger that wrang throughout the whole of the palace.
Penelope almost didn't believe it when it first came. She thought it was a thing of her imagination, come from the memory of so many nightmares that have plagued her mind for years.
And then the noise continued and continued.
Penelope opened her eyes and inclined her head to the door.

Summary
Telemachus is stuck with a palace full of loud, greedy suitors, a mother who refuses to give up hope, and the impossible weight of living in Odysseus’s shadow. Portia, Penelope’s clever and youngest lady-in-waiting and Telemachus’s childhood friend, has her own way of keeping the suitors distracted, but it’s not without cost.
This is a story of the year before Odysseus finally comes home: the year Athena first shows up, the year Telemachus starts to find his own voice, and the year a crush that never quite went away starts turning into something more.

Summary
Antinous wasn’t a good person. He knew that. He never considered himself a righteous or moral person. He was selfish, barbaric, and perhaps even vain. He knew. But in a man eats man world, could anyone truly blame him?
He wasn't a good person. But perhaps he’d have to become one. Simply for the sake of staying alive.
See, recently, the Gods have been sending him dreams. Dreams of blood dripping onto castle floors from freshly lopped off heads rolling on the tiles. Dreams of Ithaca’s old King staring at him from afar, and angry red eyes shifting across the room, searching for his next prey. Dreams of a tightly wound bow, one that only Odysseus could wield, lodging a sharp arrow into his throat. Dreams like that.
Also, on an unrelated note, why the hell was everyone randomly breaking out into song?

Summary
“Don’t be in such a rush, my fine fire-eater.” Antinous chuckled, easing into the touch. Fire-eater. Telemachus repeated that in his head like a mantra. “The suitors might think you want to stab me.”
“I do.” The prince snarled, heat traveling to his cheeks. He pushed Antinous’ off him like he was just burned, the knife nearly clambering to the floor.
In post-war Ithaca, the crown prince hums to the tune of blood and mayhem, the aftermath of his father's mysterious disappearance at sea—or perhaps—the cruel wish of the gods. One thing's for sure: the universe loves playing tricks on him. The worst? His conflicting feelings for his mother's most nefarious suitor.
An oath is sworn, a mystery unfurls, and the gods? They know this is just the beginning.

Summary
I listened to Epic a couple of days ago and now I'm obsessed, so this fic is the result.
Fully based on the song "I Can't Help But Wonder" which was the start of my emotional breakdown before the last song of this masterpiece of a musical.
Telemachus, my baby, hug your father and never let go of him. Do not make the same mistakes as me.
Also the gods are watching, hence the title.

Summary
"Penelope did not know what it was, this shining image that visited her. A ghost, she was tempted to say. But that was impossible. The mirage gleamed too brightly to be a ghost, and Odysseus was not dead. Odysseus was too clever to be dead."
"She was a trick. She had to be. A damned Calypso trick. She was made of light, or starshine, or ocean foam. Not real. Impossible. His Penelope was on Ithaca. His Penelope was as old as he was. His Penelope was waiting."
--
Odysseus sees flashes of the Spartan princess he fell in love with while languishing on Calypso's island. Penelope sees fleeting glimpses of the mischievous king she married while alone in Ithaca.
