A year later after Odysseus makes it home. It never gets easier, but it gets more manageable.
Penelope: Are you okay?
Odysseus (faint smile): Yeah. Yeah.
---Two weeks later---
Penelope: Are you okay?
Odysseus (forced smile): Yeah, I'm fine.
---The next day---
Penelope (taking her husband's hand): Odysseus, you're not okay... And that's okay.
Odysseus (stammering, tears forming around his eyes): I'm... I'm... I'm... I'm sorry.
Penelope smiled softly and hugged her husband.
Penelope: I'm here for you. I'm not leaving you anytime soon. And we will go to elyusim together when our time comes.
Odysseus sniffled, resting his head on his wife's shoulder.

Imagine this (Warning: ANGST)
What if after the men died in thunder bringer they were able to track down his journey and watch what happens to Odysseus after they died. Not only would they gain sympathy for their captain that caused their death but also see his time on Ogygia (I think that's the name) IT WOULD BE HEARTBREAKING for them to see their captain suffer to the point of attempted suicide. (Imagine how guilty they would feel for stabbing him in Mutiny now) They would find a way to break in at (Love in paradise) and help him contact Athena (As if Calypso cast a spell making him unable to reach Athena in the earlier several years) which would be why Odysseus heard voices. And why Athena realized Odysseus needed her help. (Imagine if they also broke into her consciousness or were around her to hint at her to look at Odysseus's journey) Basically their presence, and helping guiding the Musical from Mutiny and onward.

“Just break it.” – he uttered coarsely in the momentary silence. – “I can’t stand. I wouldn’t be able even if you gave me more time. And even if I could, and I was lying about it, you don’t need an excuse.”
He was forced to stop and take a sharp breath against the vertigo and the headache. He pushed himself to lift his eye, despite the headache, to meet Ektor’s. He took another strained breath and spoke. “You won and I lost.” – he gestured vaguely about himself. – “This is your prize. I’m yours to break. Just… stop playing around and get it over with.”
Fanart of @holy-mother-of-whumpers 's "Odysseus in Chains"

What’s this? A normal one shot and not a series? More likely than you think.

EPIC fans: what else was Odysseus supposed to do?! Scylla was the only way home!!
Me, an intellectual: there WAS a way for Odysseus and crew to get past Scylla without one crew member dying. They previously had a bunch of Sirens at their mercy, so if they so wished, they could have used six sirens to satisfy Scylla’s price.
After all…ruthlessness (to others) is mercy upon ourselves
#this is partially a joke#but also y’all need to quit being weird about complex characters#Odysseus isn’t perfect and he sure as hell was not in the right in scylla or mutiny#Eurylocus made mistakes too and that’s what makes him interesting#Funny how it’s all “he’s just a man! 🥺” until suddenly it ISNT odysseus who is “just a man-ing”#Eurylocus is just a man too and I love him for it <3#I would hug and punch both of them (Odysseus more so the latter but he also deserves a godsdamn hug)#save my men they did all that but one doesn’t deserve to be woobified and the other hated#anyway. I’ve been rambling ^-^#ramblings of an oracle#epic: the musical#epic: the thunder saga#epic the musical#epic the thunder saga#epic odysseus#epic eurylochus#also odysseus is still the monster rawr rawr rawr with this idea lol

Athena pretended she didn't notice Odysseus glaring at her with hatred in his eyes. She tapped her foot, pondering what to say to break the ice.
Athena (tight smile): I get the feeling you're mad at me. Your face is contorted.
Odysseus (enraged): Don't pull a Zeus on me. I'm mad at you, Athena! You left me! You left me without telling me who the cyclops was related to! I did not have you for over twenty years! Twenty years during which I watched my friends die! I was stuck on an island with a five-stage clinger, and I missed… everything! I missed everything about them.
Odysseus shook as he fought back tears, thinking about how he wasn't there for his family.
Athena (sincere): I'm sorry.
Odysseus (surprised): You—What?
Athena: I'm sorry. I abandoned you at the worst time, and then when I arrived, all that insanity and pain had happened to you. You didn't deserve any of that. I'm sorry for everything, and if it means anything, my uncle deserved what he got. I can't say sorry enough either, but I am, and I understand if you never forgive me.
Odysseus (sniffling): None of you have ever apologized to me… No, no! I'm mad at you! I'm mad! I'm—
Odysseus began crying, making Athena frown. She dropped her weapon and hugged Odysseus—something he hadn't gotten in actual freaking decades!

Solace or Sorrow?
She embraced him suddenly and tightly and apologized that she could not help him. Her words felt hollow, her grip was choking him.
At first he was glad to get a break from the terrors of his journey on this island of paradise, he thought once he asked her to leave she'd help. He had thought wrong.
Or
A short tale of the seven years Odysseus spent on Ogygia.
