    Summary

    There were rumors, quickly squashed by the island kingdom, that the Prince of Ithaca had grown wings on his feet when he was a boy. There were rumors that he had wings elsewhere too; on his back and behind his ears. They were squashed even quicker. Anyone who could get a look at the prince could see that his body was not adorned in feathers of any kind.

    None of them knew, and Ithaca’s royal family planned to keep it that way. Fearing that this problem of unknown origin (curse or yet another divine being’s fling with a mortal) would be seen as an insult to the gods and bring down their wrath. Odysseus has grown used to having to cut down or hide the extra appendages, but the struggle only grew when he was forced into the Trojan War.

    Now, with the war at its end and his fleet ready to return home, he only has one thing on his mind; getting back to his wife and son.

    An alternate universe where Hermes's relation to one particular Greek hero becomes a bit more prominent, and he suddenly has a much better reason to help Odysseus on his journey home.

    Summary

    'What If' scenarios for the Frayed Feathers AU. I would highly recommend reading "I'll Be Home With Frayed Feathers" first if you haven't already, otherwise you may be a bit confused. Other than that I hope you are willing to give these silly little scenarios a chance!

    Now Including:
    1. Poseidon discovering Odysseus's wings early and making the wrong conclusions
    2. Zeus giving the choice to somebody else and the aftermath of said choice
    3. A look at how poorly things could have gone for Odysseus as a child when his wings first grew
    4. A very long, dramatic and fluffy alternate version of how Odysseus and Penelope met and fell in love

    Summary

    Someone arrived today
    They said they're taking you away
    That you're not mine to save
    And soon I won't get see your face

    In the aftermath of Athena winning Zeus' games, as per his job, Hermes is sent to free Odysseus from Ogygia and send him on his way home to Ithaca.

    He's hardly expected to inform Calypso of Odysseus' freedom but he does so anyway - after all, he is the messenger god - so Hermes tells her, rather expecting a good ol' scene but what he expects to find less is a common soul in the banished goddess.

    aka; four lines worth of lyrics and I got a little carried away
