#Saga does

Self-indulgent snippet, don't come for me.

-----------------------------------

It's only been a day since their next-door neighbors decided to take down the two large trees in their backyard, along with one in the front. Only having the money to get them cut, but not hauled away. To Saga's surprise, given Alex's known hatred of the outdoors, he'd volunteered to lend the folks a hand.

Casey assisted in cutting large pieces of tree branches and logs down to a manageable size for truck pick-up. It's not as if Saga hasn't seen Alex shirtless; they have a son for crying out loud; she's seen everything the man has to offer. That said, there's something different about seeing her husband shirtless now, dressed in only a pair of pants and work boots. Sawdust and dirt stick to his bare torso as beads of sweat run down his body. Watching from their window, Saga can't help feeling a little hot herself.

His lean frame sits out for the world to see as he lifts log after log onto his shoulders, tossing them to a pile meant for disposal. Even using a chainsaw a few times to cut them down for easier handling. She'd never seen this side of Casey before, but she was deeply enamored with it. 

As the sun began to set, the profiler watched as her husband slowly trekked back towards their house. Saga stayed in her spot by the window until the front door opened, the man's panting quickly reaching her ears. She hears him take a glass from the cabinet, and she hears the tap of the sink as he fills it, but she doesn't hear him approach their bedroom. Creeping out of the entryway, she peeks out into the kitchen.

Unashamedly, Saga ogles the man as his adam's apple bobs with every swallow. She licks her lips in turn as he disappears from view to refill the glass. Leaning back into their bedroom, Saga tousles her loose hair in the mirror before heading out, and stepping around the island of their kitchen to find him lying on the tile. His second glass of water, this one half-finished, is sitting on the counter.

"You stink, cowboy."

Saga can't help biting at her lip as she drinks in his haggard appearance, kneeling down to sit beside him as he lay there. Inching closer, he moves until his temple can rest against her thigh, the sweat from his hair leaving a damp spot on her skin.

"You don't," he swallows, taking in a deep breath and letting it out before locking eyes with her, "say, Saga. I can't imagine why I would smell so bad."

"It's not a bad look for you, though," she laughs, stroking back his hair as she leans down and captures his mouth. He tastes like salt and earth as he kisses her back, grabbing at the back of her head to pull her in closer.

"How about I get a shower, and then we can continue this in the bedroom?"

"I dunno, Alex. I think you need someone to scrub your back."

Her heart skips as a deep groan sounds in his throat, his lips catching hers one more time before he's up from the floor with her in his arms. 

"I'm all yours, Anderson."

I find this dichotomy so funny:

Odysseus, who has been in war for years and is quick to be crafty and trick his enemies: *laments and mourns giving up mercy and being forced to become the monster*

Telemachus, the one with a reputation of being small and weak with a good heart: *kills a man from behind while they’re distracted without any hesitation or remorse*

[furiouswritingbiologykid]

Eurylochus, a proper, gods fearing greek soldier: Don't forget how dangerous the gods are! Odysseus, who's been besties with Athena since he was like twelve, just had a whole song of arguing with her with zero fear of being smote, and gets personal warning visions from Zeus:(b･▽･)b Will do good buddy!

[brainrotcharacters]

Penelope a madwoman for going "Oh, you're not my husband? Move the bed, then." And the man put his whole Odyussy into being outraged

Eddie, posting to TikTok at 3AM: Welcome back to Can’t Sleep With The Munsons…The Harringtons? The Harring-sons?

Steve: The Munsons.

Eddie: With the Munsons. What are we overthinking about tonight? *holds invisible microphone out to Steve*

Steve, into the invisible microphone: Nothing. No thoughts. Just craving sleep.

Eddie: So true, baby. Also a lie. I can hear you overthinking. I can smell how ridiculous it is. Hit me with it.

Steve:

Eddie:

Steve: Do you think Ozzy is mad at us?

Eddie: Why would he be mad at us?

Steve: He’s not sleeping in here.

Eddie: Well, we did kick him out for a couple hours. I’m pretty sure he’s just conked out in the living room.

Steve: I’m think he’s getting tired of me.

Eddie: Yeah, no. No one in the history of the world has ever gotten tired of you.

Steve: My parents.

Eddie: Proof they’re creatures from the Hellmouth

Steve, snorting: That’d make me from the Upside Down too.

Eddie: I married an alien

Steve, starting an argument they’ve had a hundred times: It’s a different dimension, Eddie. Not a different planet. I’d still be human.

My actual favorite part of wisdom saga is telemachus trying to lean against Athena (he thought about that for .03 seconds and then was like nah !!! :D she's my friend not the goddess of war!!! Good to see that the audacity is running strong in odysseus's family) and then just passed threw her and fell on the floor. And then Athena did not move at all!!! And just stood there looking at him.

[halfling-myth-lady]

Athena,about odysseus,after my goodbye:can’t stand his fake ass.

*ten years later*

Athena w/telemachus:me and my bestie!

[tuba-david]

Eurylochus: Captain, what’s the plan to fight Scylla?

Odysseus:

[sarnai4]

Hermes: Don't thank me, friend. I'm not the one who fought for you.

Odysseus: Then who?

Mount Olympus minus Zeus (in tears): Who do you think??!!!
