    Summary

    The Emperor's Geass is slowly breaking Lelouch's mind, remaking it each time he is brought to Pendragon with less and less pieces. When Cornelia stumbles upon him searching for Julius Kingsley, she makes an impulsive decision after learning just what the emperor was putting him through: She moves to rescue her brother. But other forces are at play, and Cornelia stubbornly refuses to accept the fact that her brother was not the boy she once knew...

    Summary

    But even through all of the endless questions she had of how, why, what now, she still made sure that she flew down to Ithaca every day, either choosing to be invisible or lurk in the trees as an owl and watched as Odysseus played with Eurylochus and Polites, watching as the three boys ran around the woods. Though oftentimes, the former two ran while the latter one merely followed. They acted like the children they were, but not how Athena remembered them to be.

    Perhaps if there was a way, she would have gone to the underworld and demanded her grandfather's council — after all, Kronos was the Titan of time. Perhaps it was he who could explain how she had come to the situation she was in.

    And where she was, was back in time, back in the past.

    -

    ‘What if there is a world where we don't have to live this way?’

    (Athena somehow manages to find herself back in time, and does all she can to prevent Odysseus’ ten year journey.)

    Summary

    Odysseus of Ithaca, the sacker of Troy, had angered the gods during his travels many times. But what if, through his wit, sheer stubbornness and love for his family, he had managed to convince the gods to care for him as their own?
    The Olympians are equal parts baffled and intrigued by this man, who is not nearly as fearful as he ought to be when in their presence. Their eyes, unavoidably, turn to Ithaca.

    Or Odysseus decides he can’t lose Athena right after being robbed of Polites and refuses to let her go. Somehow it makes his life so much better and at the same time also so much worse.

    Or or Odysseus gets home earlier than in the original myth but now Ithaca is somehow starting to look like second Olympus and he has a few ideas what to do about it (they all go horribly)
    Penelope is not impressed. Neither is Eurylochus.
    Telemachus is just happy to have his dad home.

    Summary

    After six years on Ogygia, Odysseus finally manages to make contact with the outside world and, more specifically, his ex-patron goddess, Athena.

    After six years of her ex-friend being trapped on an island with a lust-stricken nymph, Athena finally manages to answer his prayers. They figure it out.

    OR

    Athena and Odysseus decide that this timeline is fucked beyond repair and they should scrap it, go back in time to before Polyphemus, and try again.

    Summary

    After it all, Athena seeks out Telemachus.

    Or: Athena can't bring herself to stay away from the family that showed her precisely what the word "family" meant, even if its patriarch never wants to see her again.
