    Summary

    The halls of Ithaca no longer rang with music.

    Where once laughter and lyre-strings echoed through marble colonnades, now only whispers passed. And when servants walked, they did so softly, as if noise might offend the gods or tip the balance of fate.

    The Queen was dying. So was the Prince.

     

    Or, Hermes is a lot of things. The God of messengers, trade, travellers, thieves, and dead men. He is a psychopomp, responsible for ushering souls to the Underworld. But these are two souls he just can't take; so what if he has to break the rules to keep them safe!? And if he forms a very improper-for-a-god attachment to his descendants, well, who's going to report him?

    Summary

    He whirled around to see an older man, dressed in the standard white garb of a Fortunan but with his hood down. The man’s hair was a pale white, which he didn’t seem quite old enough for but it was definitely not Nero’s place to say anything about white hair, and his face was calm yet severe, halfway to a grimace already even before Nero could open his mouth.

    Instead of saying anything though, the man just stared as he dropped his hand. Nero gave him a few seconds before scowling, “What’re you looking at?”

    After a further moment of silence, the man finally said, “My apologies. You seemed to be looking for something.”

    -

    or, vergil somehow washes up on fortuna at about the same time as the yamato, body still intact but mind in shatters. he still ends up with a messy family reunion, though at least this time, it's definitely not his fault.

    Summary

    The old man says, “The Yamato is a gift, Nero, one I grant to you. She already resonates with you. You two will be good for each other.”

    Nero doesn't know whether to start laughing or crying. Vergil cannot be serious.

    Summary

    The voice continues, “Hey, down here.”

    Vergil complies against his better judgment, but it takes him a second to realise where the sound is even supposed to be coming from. It's only when his shadow's left hand, the one not clutching the Yamato, moves of its own accord to rub against his shadow's face that he realises what must be happening. A shadow cannot be fought so easily, but even intangible demons can be bested. He must bide his time. His eyes narrow at the offending invader and he voices, “Who are you?"

    There’s a slight pause, as the shadow tilts its head. Finally, it replies, “The name’s Nero. And don’t scowl too much, it makes you look older than you are.”

    Summary

    Eris, the goddess of chaos, hates Odysseus of Ithaca for ending the Trojan War. It was her war. She started it. Who is this nobody to end it? She's furious that he's made it home to Ithaca after 20 years of torment, and she'll stop at nothing to make sure he never gets to live happily ever after. Then she can finally get back to her regularly scheduled plans of plunging the world into chaos.

    Now, Odysseus will have to team up with Athena, Hermes and his family to thwart her evil plans. But to do so, they might have to break the rules and be even more chaotic than Eris herself. Can Odysseus, Ithaca and even the time stream survive the chaos? And will a second chance at the voyage home change anything? Or are these events written in stone?
