    Summary

    Patroclus would rather sell his soul than marry Achilles, his childhood rival and heir to a prominent textile manufacturing house. But life in the country is nothing like Patroclus expects - bringing forth new responsibilities, friendships, and a side of himself he never thought existed. Not to mention Achilles, who is hardly the same boy who taunted him mercilessly all those years ago.

    Summary

    “What are you carving?” a few of the children ask, the younger ones hiding behind the backs of their older, braver siblings.
    “I don’t know yet,” the king replies. “But I think it’s important.”

     

    Or: In which Odysseus amasses a small army of Ithacan children, a very large army of wooden soldiers, and the support system to heal just that little bit further.

    Summary

    Odysseus was finally home. His raft had finally touched the sand on the shores of Ithaca. But just as he's about to leave the water behind, he notices a group of men ambush a ship armed with weapons. It's really not his problem, right?

    Of course, he gets involved anyway. There's just a feeling in his gut that he'd regret it otherwise. Besides, he met this nice young man who he's sure would be great friends with his son.

    ***

    Telemachus honestly thought the old man that showed up and started killing the suitors was a god in a shoddy disguise. He reacted accordingly, doing everything he could to help the man and keep him happy. It's not until the old beggar walks Telemachus up to the palace that he realizes who this really is.

    Athena thinks it's hilarious of course.
