the ache of you, chapter two

In the war camps outside Troy's walls, Odysseus wonders if news of Palamdes's death has reached Ithaca, and what Penelope will think when she hears. How she might greet him in response if they were together...

Then, just as the weariness and memories and endless crushing weight seemed about to smother Odysseus, she would always come. A balm created by his mind: just as his body clung to his need to survive in battle, so too did his very being cling to this in order to keep moving forward each day. It was a trick. A lie told to himself as a way of coping rather than snapping from the strain. He knew it, but… he was always rather convincing. Now, the story his mind told was that Odysseus felt Penelope’s fingers massaging gently along his scalp. As if she knelt behind him, just outside the bath, humming a low tune, as he had often heard her do while at her loom or caring for Telemachus. It was never a particular song, just a vague melody her voice followed, and hearing it (even only as a poor echo from his memories) was like finally seeing a clear sky after a violent storm. “Penelope…” He exhaled her name as a long heavy breath that allowed his body to sink a little further into the water, relaxing against the imagined sensation of her soothing touch. Let your mind and body rest now, my love. You have given all of it to this war. The ghost of her lips pressed to his temple, and he could almost feel the gentle vibration of her voice near his ear. Here, they are mine. “They always are,” he murmured, the words only half-formed, his eyelids sliding closed at the overpowering comfort of this delusion. She laughed lightly — gods, he had not heard that sweet sound in so long, and that knowledge made his eyes burn and throat tight — then moved her imagined hands down his shoulders, every part of his body relaxing. Then heed my command, and rest, my lord. Her voice — no, his conjuring of it — trembled just slightly. My Odysseus.

The second half of my @erostober odypen fic is here! Sorry it took a while to finish, but I hope all who read it enjoy the angsty smut haha.

Chapters: ½ Fandom: EPIC - Jorge Rivera-Herrans (Albums), Ancient Greek Religion & Lore Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Odysseus/Penelope (EPIC: The Musical), Odysseus/Penelope, Odysseus/Penelope (Ancient Greek Religion & Lore) Characters: Odysseus (EPIC: The Musical), Penelope (EPIC: The Musical), Odysseus (Ancient Greek Religion & Lore), Penelope (Ancient Greek Religion & Lore) Additional Tags: Masturbation, Sad and Horny, Angst and Porn, Porn with Feelings, mostly lots of longing, Vaginal Fingering, Cunnilingus, Oral Sex, basically it’s just them being separated and wishing the other was there and imagining it as best as they can, Penis In Vagina Sex, Multiple Orgasms Summary:

Nine years into the war, Penelope receives word of Palamedes’ death, and knows it was through Odysseus’s actions.

That knowledge strikes a fire within, built on her desperate longing, and she cannot help but imagine what she would do if her husband were returned to her, with this news fresh from his lips…

If only he were really there with her, finally. To hold their son and be the father he hardly got the chance to be. She always wished for him, wanted him, every moment of the day — even during the shameful times when the agony of waiting made her angry with him — and that want rose in her now like the tide.

Powerful, inevitable, and all-consuming.

It anchored to her desires, her wildest hope — if he were here now, oh the things she would do with him — and it spun glorious thoughts that could not be ignored.

What would she do with him, if he were here? Knowing this. Having learned what he did.

Meanwhile, in the war-camps outside Troy’s walls, Odysseus wishes for Penelope in turn, and wonders about her own thoughts regarding his actions toward Palamedes…and how she would greet him when she knew.

Saviour

Automedon catches me by the chin and draws my face back towards him. "You are mine now, Mestor, do you understand?" He murmurs. I nod. Is this man my saviour, or will he be my torturer? He must see the trepidation in my eyes, because he soothingly says, "sweet boy, don't you worry. I won't let any harm come to you."

My face burns with embarrassment. I can feel Patroclus knowingly watching us now. I bury my face in Automedon's neck so he won't see me blush, and he wraps an arm around my waist and squeezes. "We can retire to my tent as soon as I finish my cup." He whispers to me.

I begin to tremble, but he doesn't seem to notice.

make her feel beautiful

"I don't appreciate being made a cuckold."

"Why do you even care?" Deidamia retorted. "You haven't spared a glance at me since our son was born. You will not touch me, so what does it matter if somebody else does?"

"It matters because you are mine!" Achilles roared.

"And you are supposed to be mine!" Deidamia shot back, "and yet I do not interfere with your relationships! Why can you have him-" she threw her arm out in Patroclus' direction, ignoring his hurt expression, "but I can't take somebody to my bed? I have desires too!"

Achilles scoffed and turned away, "you are a woman, it's different."

Deidamia had no words for the staggering hypocrisy, but to her surprise, Patroclus spoke up. "She's correct, Achilles. It isn't right."
