    Summary

    Odysseus is lucky enough to not be sent to Ogygia, and instead of finding himself trapped for seven years, he finds himself back in Scylla’s lair. Instead of being eaten, however, he finds Scylla really is just like him- she was forced to change to survive, and she just wants a friend. She is more than willing to take him back to Ithaca- and fun fact, 108 is perfectly divisible by six.

    Summary

    At the tender age of thirteen, the night before his coronation, Odysseus had grown wings. With his father succumbing to madness and his mother frail, Odysseus became The King of Ithaca, now with the weight of both the crown and his cursed appendages.

    For the better part of his life Odysseus had bound these wings, repressing the instincts that came with it. Too bad a certain God noticed these harmful tendencies and decided to act on it. Hermes has always regarded family highly, looking out for his kin in one way or another.

    Despite one falling through the cracks, Hermes will make up for it to make sure the mortal is never hurt again. Even if it means locking Odysseus away from the dangers of the world, Hermes will protect him.

     

    Even if Odysseus doesn’t want him to.

    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 home 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

    Zuko realizes his destiny much earlier. As in, as soon as he wakes up in the palace after his Agni Kai and is told he is banished. Unfortunately, he's never been a patient one. So he storms right up to Ozai and tells him what he's going to do. And gets locked up for over three years. Then, one day, he's being pulled out and told he's the new Fire Lord.

    A "Zuko never meets the Gaang and suddenly becomes Fire Lord after three years of literal torture" AU. In which the Gaang doesn't know what to think of the new Fire Lord who happens to be the missing nephew of Aang's firebending teacher, Iroh constantly has a headache, and, sure, maybe the world hates the Fire Nation, but the Fire Nation LOVES Zuko, and he can work with that.
