    Summary

    The one in the middle, however, always seemed to catch his eye. 

    She was the shortest of the three, with hair lighter than gold, seeming almost white in the morning sun, divine like the nectar of the gods.

    Her fare skin was pale though lovely flowers decorated her thin ears and several strands of her gorgeous hair. 

    Menelaus, too overcome by witnessing her radiant beauty, dropped the apple.

    or, three times where menelaus tries to talk to helen and one time where he doesn't have to.

    Summary

    Oh gods. 

    No. 

    No, Penelope had seen someone who looked exactly like him before. 

    She had to convince herself several times over to give herself the confidence to look at him again because she knew that if she started she would never stop looking and then this poor boy would be offended by her rude stares. But after seeing him and recognizing him, she couldn't not steal another glance. 

    And so Penelope, with all the confidence in her chest, turned her eyes to look at him again. 

    It was him.

    Summary

    Odysseus grew up in a very loving, well off family, with loving parents and a....well, loving is an overstatement, maybe "tolerable" little sister. They lived in their little town of Ithaca, New York, where Odysseus met his friends and went to elementary and middle school, and was also mentored under the watchful eye of his Mentor Athena. But then things went....extremely southwards, his Mentor moved away to a bigger town, somewhere in Michigan, Odysseus' father Laertes, who was providing for their family, got diagnosed with dementia. Anticlea, looking to both get Odysseus in a better school, get better treatment for her husband, buy a cheaper, more sustainable house with her rather rather measly income, and connect with some older family friends, decided to uproot their family and move them to Troy, Michigan. She picked up more jobs where she could to get the money for their fathers' treatment, as well as to sustain their family, leaving Odysseus to care for his sister mostly alone while starting a completely new school in a completely new town he knows nothing about.

    This is my first ever fic, I'll try to keep updates consistent, probably once every week or 2. It's probably going to be cringe, but ill have fun.

    Summary

    Reader, I have taken liberties.

    In other words, a "so high school" inspired Iliad/Odyssey modern au. I attempted, at least, to bring in all of the stories of the Iliad/related works. I will put in notes what inspired each chapter once we get into the actual plot. These are all interpretations, of course, but there are in fact, sources.

    Updates are fridays

    Summary

    The time has come for Helen of Sparta to choose a suitor and prepare for her upcoming wedding. Suitors have come from all over Greece and beyond.

    Helen's cousin, Penelope, doesn't think much of one of the men, a smug young king from an island in the middle of nowhere. He's snarky, sarcastic, and annoying. She can't wait for him to leave.

    Odysseus of Ithaca came to Sparta as one of Helen's suitors, but he has no intention of marrying. One of the princesses catches his eye for the wrong reasons. While she is pretty, she is also insufferable, and he can't wait to leave.

    Summary

    There is a reason that seers and oracles are so closely minded by the gods, a reason why they are prized by men and immortals alike.
    One extra drop of prophecy can change the weave of fate more than even gods can comprehend. Fate is a knitted scarf, but prophecy can tear a hole and unravel the fabric rapidly if not caught in time.
    Apollo receives an extra drop of prophecy, this changes everything.

    Summary

    High school... the best time to have fun messing around with your friends, beating those jerks from the other school in football, making fun of the most annoying teachers, flirting, and fuck with every girl you can, partying every weekend, and not having to worry about anything other than getting passing grades and having a blast. That's what Odysseus Laertides should be doing, simply enjoying the year and a half he has left in that sweet school environment before being thrown into the adult world. After all, he was a popular, attractive, and smart teenager... And instead, he's frustrated as hell because he can't take his eyes off the sweet girl chatting with her friends four tables away.... And all he could think was, 'What the heck have you done to me, Penelope, that I can't take my eyes off you?'"
