Summary
Morpheus, the God of Dreams, takes pity on the King and Queen of Ithaca. Odysseus’s return is many years away, yet his and Penelope’s minds find each other in sleep. It’s both a blessing and a curse, and sometimes all that keeps them going.
Queen Penelope stepped into the dream as easily as crossing a threshold, and with her came the sun, as if Helios's carriage rode atop her billowing black hair. The carnage vanished in her presence, the ground no longer a battlefield but a sloping grassy hill dotted with olive trees. Her bright blue eyes almost glowed, searching the hillside with clear intent.
The King of Ithaca stood, gazing at her as if she were a vision of Aphrodite herself. The blood streaking his face and staining his hands evaporated in the wake of her sunlight, the dead bundle in his arms vanishing with it.
Morpheus stared as well, unable to believe that she stood before them. It was no shaped dream becoming a nightmare, no conjuration of the King’s mind to protect himself. It was her, slipping into his dream as if it were a room in their home. Answering her husband’s desperate cries.

Full of Anxious Fears by thehouseofblack

Summary
"What is the point,” she whispered, “if the shell of his mother still walks the halls… but she has turned hollow? If I become a vessel of grief and nothing more?”
He had no answer.
Only silence.
Only the roaring tide of his own heart beating wildly beneath his ribs, aching for her, for the love they shared, for the impossible ask he had laid at her feet. He would not be able to continue on in a world without her and yet…
“You must,” he murmured again, more to himself now than to her.
Her gaze softened. Her hand cupped his face. “Then return to me,” she said. “That is the only answer I will accept. Come back to me, Odysseus. No matter how long it takes. No matter how lost you become. Find your way back. There is no Penelope without Odysseus.”
(Or, Odysseus and Penelope spending their last night and morning together before they're separated for twenty years)

Summary
When Odysseus arrives in Sparta as a suitor for Helen, he expects politics and ceremony, not the sharp-witted, fiercely proud Penelope, daughter of Icarius. What begins as rivalry and resentment soon twists into a charged, undeniable attraction neither can ignore, though both will try.

Summary
Two first times, two perspectives. One of them is nervous, the other is terrified.
The first chapter is their very first time. Ancient times didn't consider the woman's pleasure a priority. Penelope had been scared to death about sex before her wedding night and there is no going back anymore. She is in love with her new husband, but is Odysseus really different from the men she heard about?
The second chapter is the first time after twenty years spent apart. Odysseus has been through hell and back and although he returned home, part of his mind is still stuck in the past. Particulary Calypso has left her marks on him, and after seven years of coersion and rape Odysseus struggles with intimacy.

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.

Happier Ithaca AU Reacts to EPIC: The Musical by ie_nnie

Summary
In a different universe, the suitors were kinder to Penelope. In a different universe, Telemachus grew into his adulthood surrounded by good men, without the threat of his father’s throne being seized by usurpers. And in a different universe, Odysseus would return home to his wife and son without needing to shed the blood of the suitors.
What happens when that universe reacts to EPIC: The Musical, a world in which their reality took a few steps to the left?

Training (What sort of king never bows to his queen?) by KingRacoonOfRefrigerator

Summary
It’d been seven years since Odysseus had returned home, and he’d never been happier. His kingdom was thriving, his family was safe, and Athena was helping to prepare Telemachus to take his place as the next King of Ithaca.
It’d been two weeks since he and Penelope were sitting together in the garden, watching Athena and Telemachus spar. Odysseus felt a deep thrill of joy every time he called out to his son to tell him how to improve his footwork or to tell him how proud he was of him or to warn him of Athena’s next strike.
“Boo!” He said teasingly as the two stopped for a breather. Athena sent him a smirk as Telemachus ran over to his parents, where he’d dropped his water flask.
“Oh, you think you can do better, dad?” Telemachus’s grin was just as mischievous and daring as Penelope always said Odysseus’s was.
Or, Ody is out of practice and Athena suggests he and Penelope spar out by the forest while she teaches Telemachus. Shenanigans ensue.

Let Me Take Care of You by blendal

Summary
Penelope was worried. Following his return to Ithaca, Odysseus had his hands full getting his kingdom into order. The culling of Penelope’s suitors, tearful reunions, and the murder of Eupeithes were merely the beginning of everything in store for her extraordinary husband.
He was handling it all wonderfully, but she could see how his exhaustion weighed on him. She ought to sit him down for a proper meal. He might be too exhausted for proper manners, spilling wine and honey on himself that she could then clean off.
If she found her own pleasure in taking care of his body, well.
What was the harm in that?

Summary
108 suitors, all vying for his mother’s hand in marriage. None of them worthy of her, of course. The fact that his father was very much alive, although long missing, was only part of the reason they’d never get to marry her. She was above them, perfect in every way, and Telemachus would do anything to save her from a loveless, very likely abusive, marriage from any of these dogs. Absolutely anything.
AKA: Telemachus accepts to marry Antinous to save his mum.
