Summary
Zagreus knew he couldn’t just let his half of his family go after the other half, no matter how he felt about his Olympian relatives at the moment. He knew what the Olympian gods could do without fear of reprisal, and he knew how dangerous his chthonic family could be if they felt the need.
He had to stop this.

Summary
It took less than ten hours after Forrix discovered Perturabo’s state for Perturabo to decide his immune system needed help. It took about ten minutes for Forrix to convince Perturabo to let him help, because despite Perturabo admitting that waiting it out wasn’t working, he was being terrifyingly stubborn about not letting anyone else see him.
Sequel to "Cleansing"

Summary
The first time Zagreus returned to the Underworld and noticed that Hades wasn’t at his desk, he didn’t question it. It was normal for Hades to be gone sometimes; he didn’t actually work constantly, and he had a bedroom for a reason.
The second time Zagreus returned to the Underworld and noticed that Hades wasn’t at his desk, he did wonder where Hades was, but figured he’d just missed his father twice in a row. Zagreus wasn’t exactly spending excess time in the House after getting over his fever: he was itching to get back to work and was making back-to-back runs to get back into the groove of it.
The third time Zagreus emerged from the Styx to find that Hades’ desk was empty, he decided to ask around.
Sequel to "Recuperation" but can act as a standalone

Summary
Odysseus was forced to admit that something was truly, unavoidably wrong when he tried to get out of bed one morning only to immediately collapse back into it as his legs gave out from under him. He’d been avoiding acknowledging the fact that every day that passed left him feeling weaker and weaker, but now he had to accept it: something was wrong with him.

Summary
Anakin Skywalker wouldn’t be the first to admit that his observational skills were not always the best, but he would internally accept that he did have a history of… possibly missing important things on occasion.
That didn’t mean he was blind.
Something was wrong with Obi-wan.

Summary
The priest at the temple gladly welcomed Odysseus in, even with his bedraggled appearance. Odysseus wasn’t the most versed in temples, but this one seemed to be dedicated to Apollo, which was either good or very bad for Odysseus.

Summary
Odysseus was… sitting next to Penelope. And Telemachus. They were… in the dining hall. There was fresh food laid out across the tables, and Odysseus could see friends sitting there, all smiling and eating and talking to each other.
Eurycleia walked up to their table, smiling. She was carrying… a platter of meat. Of pork. Odysseus’ mouth watered as it was set in front of them, the scent of it making his stomach growl painfully.
(Why was he so… hungry? He was starving, but he’d been… eating…)
Sequel to "Heart of the Matter"

Summary
Obi-wan woke in darkness. Given that his last memory was of Dooku with his lightsabers out, he supposed that meant he had lost and was now… somewhere else. He felt altogether too corporeal to be dead, which was a bit of a surprise. Clearly, there was something else in store for him.

Summary
At first, Telemachus thought it was him. He thought that maybe, as Odysseus got to know his son, he was becoming so disgusted with Telemachus and all his failings that he disliked even touching Telemachus. Why else would he flinch every time Telemachus touched him?
But Athena had sworn that Odysseus loved Telemachus. As did Penelope. And, other than his seemingly automatic flinch response, Odysseus spent an almost absurd amount of time around Telemachus, matched only by his time around Penelope.
Clearly, this was something else.

Summary
Perturabo had been missing for several hours.
Well, sort of. Forrix knew where his Lord was, it was just that he should have been back at the command center by now. And he wasn’t. Which, by Forrix’s estimation, meant he was missing.

Summary
There are, Simon decides, a lot of ways to die, and given the choice between the multitude he’s experienced both directly and second-hand, he prefers the one where he goes quickly. It’s what’s happening, he thinks, feeling something expand up and through him, sprouting with all the vicious, viscous fury he’s been feeling ever since Ava died.

(Attempted) Stolen Blessing by WritinglyChallenged

Summary
Now, Zagreus has suffered all sorts of injuries over his career as Professional Escapee: crushed, bashed, shot, stabbed, clubbed, poisoned, run through, run over, burned, boiled, bitten - if there was an injury to be had, Zagreus had probably experienced some variant of it.
It’s how he knows that he’s been clubbed over the head with something rough when he wakes up again. He’s also bound and blindfolded, but from the feeling of the cart beneath him and the low male voices ahead of him, it’s not Meg offering an impromptu playtime session.

Summary
Caine may have been keeping a closer eye on Gangle than he was the others. It was just a precaution; the newcomers were always more prone to… situations than those who knew how to play the games. So, when she called for him, he was ready for it.
Or, well, he thought he was until he snapped to her location and found her sobbing, her arm ribbons shredded into long, thin, streamers.

Summary
“DAMN IT ALL, ODYSSEUS! GET AWAY FROM THAT LEDGE!” Polites screams.
Odysseus stares down into the water below, eyes filled with a haunting sort of longing. Polites doesn’t know what his friend is seeing down there, but he wishes he could get between Odysseus and the drop and cut his line of sight to it.
Unfortunately, Odysseus hasn’t been able to see Polites for years.

Summary
The malware struck right as Caine spawned in to introduce the day’s Adventure. It was a worm, because of course it was a worm, the one type of malware Caine wasn’t immune to and that could actually get into his systems without any warning, and as soon as it got in, it did what worms did best: it multiplied itself as fast as it possibly could.

Summary
There were dead bodies in the hall. There were dead bodies everywhere. The King was hunting every single man in the palace down like they were a herd of frightened deer fleeing a rabid lion. Pandion and Iollas had chosen to hide rather than run. It seemed safer than attempting to flee deeper into the palace, given that all the doors and windows were locked and barred.

Summary
There were… many problems with sailing around the Land of the Giants. Eurylochus and Odysseus both were working to try and find a way out that wouldn’t land them right back in Poseidon’s clutches, but it was… hard.
It was night, now. Eurylochus looked up at the stars for a moment, trying to spot a recognizable pattern, but the stars were strange here.
Odysseus was on the prow, also watching the stars.

Summary
Caine had just put the finishing touches on his newest Adventure when he heard a low, keening wail echo through the tent. He quickly closed the editor and snapped himself to the source, trying to hide his anxiety. Kinger had been getting worse and worse ever since Queenie Abstracted, and while Caine wanted to believe Kinger would never leave him, he wasn’t above the fear of one day finding nothing but a corrupted creature where his creator had once been.

Summary
Caine slowly rotated his newest Adventure’s code, checking over the models and the information plaques and the overall look of the place. It… wasn’t much of an Adventure, but it was… something. It was a gallery, if anything, but his humans had requested it, so… perhaps it counted? Sort of?
He had promised to try this. To listen to his humans and act on their suggestions. And he wanted to! He did! He wanted his humans to be happy and healthy! And they had all seemed so pleased when he said he would try to do something low-stakes based on his interests alone!
This… Adventure was still just… a gallery, though.

Summary
“Ctimine didn’t take it well,” Odysseus said to Eurylochus as he followed a game trail through one of Ithaca’s wilderness.
“She never wants to see you again.”
“You could at least pretend to let me reveal things to you,” Odysseus muttered.
“Odysseus, you’re imagining me. I know everything you know,” Eurylochus responded reproachfully.
Odysseus ignored him. He kept walking along the path.
