Summary
Athena was still struggling with the weight of her goodbye. At times she had her doubts but it was for the best, she would convince herself.
If Odysseus would not listen to reason, then he can't continue being her student. It was just that simple.
At least, it should have been.
She'll come to find out in time that her goodbye was also her greatest mistake.
But what will become of the lost King, the Goddess of Wisdom and everyone they are connected to from this sudden realization?
Note: SOMEWHAT AU, HAPPENS FURTHER IN.

Summary
"Since you claim your so much wiser, why's your life spent all alone? You're alone!"
Odysseus breathes heavy, anger and sadness and frustration searing his mind as he glares up at Athena. The landscape of Quick Thought has shifted without his realization. The expanse of stars surrounding the hourglass seem almost frozen, the consistent ticking has slowed to a noticeable degree and as he looks, really looks, at Athena her emotionless mask is very much a mask at this moment. He expects rage, maybe more sneering disappointment but all he sees is a blank face on the Goddess of Wisdom...
"One day, you'll hear what I'm saying
One day, you might understand
One day, but not today."
Her voice is tinged with such a heavy amount of grief when she speaks that he can't bring himself to offer any more rebuttal. But the weight of her next words are more than he can handle.

Summary
Athena goes to Zeus in private to request Odysseus's freedom. Instead of striking Athena, Zeus offers her a deal. He will release Odysseus from Ogygia if Athena agrees to spend a year as a mortal in Odysseus's palace. With little say in the matter, she accepts.
On Ithaca, Athena awakes in the body of a 12 year old servant, specifically an orphan servant with a reputation for poor performance. Which is good because Athena has no idea what she's doing and doesn't have much time to learn. Suitors have infected the palace, Telemachus is waiting for divine help that will never come, and Odysseus will be home in two weeks. She has a lot of work ahead of her, and it won't end when Odysseus retakes his throne.

Summary
"Did she visit you often, father?”
There was no response after his question. Not a single sign of movement. Telemachus could only stare at his father’s back, waiting for an answer.
“Long ago, many years ago.” Odysseus finally says without looking at his son and continues walking. The prince slowly falls behind in rhythm thinking of his father’s words. They eventually make it out of the trees, seeing their palace in the short distance.
“Do you miss her?”
“As much as I did you and your mother”

Summary
Athena's been hurt, much more thoroughly than she realized was possible. For the first time in her immortal life, she is fighting against her own body and mind, and she doesn't know how to win.
Odysseus is home. After two more weeks on sea, a fight with 108 suitors and reunited with his family, he’s quietly accepted that even a desperate prayer won’t bring his former mentor to come back. Little does he know, for two weeks, it’s all Athena’s been trying to do.
Or, what if after God Games, Athena doesn’t wake up in the infirmary? What if it’s up to a few mortals to take care of the goddess that just collapsed in their palace, looking like she should very much be dead?
Updates on Sundays :)

Also sometimes it takes me a bit to respond to comments especially on earlier chapters bc as you can tell the amount of comments this fic gets is out of this world, but eventually I will reply, I appreciate them very muchSeries

Summary
Athena Burke is 21 years old.
Athena Burke is also Olympus' most loyal (and only) superhero.
Athena Burke is also dealing with the return of her childhood-best-friend-who-she-kinda-sorta-nearly-killed, plus the return of her old-enemy-who-permanently-scarred-her-physically-and-mentally.
But, alas, all things happen for a reason. Or whatever God said.
OR
Pallas and Athena but I make them sad and angsty and gay and more sad
(a bunch of other characters also show up but they are WAYYYY more minor so I'm choosing not to tag them)

Summary
The Sea looks welcoming enough to Telemachus, despite the storm.
It would help his mother.
That's all that counts.
She'd be free. And he would be— Dead.
OR:
Got kinda inspired, idk.
Fyi I do not know how suicide works I've never experienced it, but yeah.
Telemachus goes through it like we all do sometimes, and this is his best solution. More in the Author notes! X -

Summary
Athena and Ares are 11 and 10 respectively when their Mom is pregnant with a new sibling. And that's not the only big change waiting in the wings for the family... specifically Athena, who stands to gain a brother and lose a friend...
i.e exploring the time before Hephaestus is born as well as how Pallas and Athena grew apart, because everything tends to happen at once in life...
For Athena this means confronting the fear of not belonging in her own family, the fear of losing another mom, and the reality that her only friend might not be as much of a constant as she always thought. The owl is struggling-----
Part of my modern human AU
it's a mixed bag tbh, start whereever ;) Necessary notes in the chapter notesSeries

Summary
Athena has been killing her siblings for years.
Hephaestus was the first. Then Persephone. Then Aphrodite.
Each time she kills the child shortly after their birth, before they even get a chance to meet their father.
If anyone asked, Athena would tell them that she just wanted to be the only living child of Zeus. However, perhaps there was more to the story?

Summary
(Modern Human AU)
Ares and Athena have always been birds of a feather, and moving into an apartment together was the natural progression of things. If you ask Ares, things are going swell. He finally has his own place with his sister, and he recently found a perfect match in Aphrodite.But when his girlfriend and himself return home from a week-long trip, they don't find things as they left them. Mainly, they don't find Athena how they left her.

in plain words, Athena's mental health is a mess and now Ares has to confront that he didn't see this coming.
Also this is the last part in the series, but only bc I put all my works for this series chronologically plotwise, this is actually the one i started with, so feel free to check it out first :3

Summary
I recently read Lavender_Hyacinths' AU of what if Percy Jackson is Odysseus reincarnated and I really love it! Read it if you haven't already.
Therefore, I'm making this what if scenario of how it could play out.
This is based on Lavender_Hyacinths' AU. I'm just making a what if scenario.
*Start of it*
"Poseidon, you cruel heartless bastard!" Athena yelled.
"Ah, so you've figured it out," Poseidon said with a chuckle.
"Yes, I have! How could you. Odysseus' family and friends have been waiting in the Underworld for literal millennia to come back to them! Penelope grieves everyday, Telemachus just wants to know who his father was, and this is what you do! You take his soul and reincarnate him over and over again so he can never reach them!?"
