#V's Odyssey

[whosaidsealscantfly]

Listen, listen. We ALL know the parallels to Johnny and V with Orpheus and Eurydice, you love it, I love it, it's perfect.

But listen. At the same time I started hyper fixating on Cyberpunk, do you wanna know what I got into as well? Epic the Musical. If you like musicals and haven't listened to it, I HIGHLY recommend it. For those who don't know, it's a concept album series about Homer's The Odyssey. I listen to it all the time. I have all the songs memorized, and my thoughts have intertwined the two in such a strong way that I FINALLY have to talk about this.

Consider adding this to your repertoire of fix-it AU endings for SilverV, and YES I'm specifying SilverV because of Odysseus and Penelope, but you can choose to reframe it in a platonic manner if you so wish. Walk with me.

So, V and Johnny split ways - Johnny goes into the net with Alt and V goes with the Nomads. Why the Nomads? Because this is THE ODYSSEY. They're travelers escaping the war of society and corporations. Instead of the open expanse of sea, they traverse the endless roads of the desert. V decides to live their final days chasing that sense of freedom, but they still yearn for Johnny's presence. They realize that even though they're surrounded by the Aldecaldos, they just wanna see the literal other half of their soul again. It feels empty. It feels wrong.

Then, they hear rumors (or someone tells them) that Johnny's body was not dumped in some random oil field, but rather, kept on ice in New Mexico. Meanwhile, Arasaka is on V's ass for the whole raiding the tower thing. V convinces the leader of the Aldecaldos (so either Panam or Saul) to help them get to Los Alamos Labs, and Rogue, hearing this. hires a group of mercs to help. The Odyssey begins.

I won't go into the deep specifics unless someone wants me to, but here's a quick list

Odysseus - V Penelope - Johnny Polites - Panam...but ALSO Jackie (hohoho!) Athena - Reed Poseidon - Takemura Polyphemus - Arasaka Tower Aeolus - River Hermes - Judy Circe - Lucy. Yes, that Lucy Tiresias - So Mi who got turned into an engram?? Maybe?? The Sirens - Rogue AI trying to escape the Blackwall Scylla - Robot controlled by a Rogue AI Charybdis - a BIG sandstorm V has to traverse with a small car Zeus - President Myers/NUSA Government Calypso - Biotechnica Other gods - Other corporations The Suitors - People who work in the labs keeping frozen bodies for the highest bidder. Telemachus - Steve? Kerry? Misty and Vik? Friends back in NC? Not sure, this is still in the works Argos - Nibbles For those who know the Odyssey, I know this implies that the Aldecaldos die or betray V. Because this is a fix-it AU, I don't want to ruin V's relationship with the Nomads, which is why I included Rogue's merc hires. I like to think at some point V and the mercs get separated from the Nomads in a sandstorm, and so, V is forced to travel with the mercs for the rest of the way. Those are the folks who betray V, because they're not loyal to them like the Aldecaldos are, they're just in it for the eddies. So in this AU, Eurylochus would be the leader of this merc group who constantly butts heads with V. Anyway thank you for reading and indulging in this idea that's been spinning in my head for numerous months and now has breached containment. I am Very Sane about SilverV. I'm gonna listen to Will You Fall in Love With Me Again? for the umpteenth time and cry over them now. Again, I am Very Sane.

father how i've longed to see you!

[definitelyimportantpost]

You gotta be lying to me Ramus there's no freaking way

[kaseri]

honestly i think what we need is an episode where avery goes away for a bit like max did this time, so max and tristan can exist by themselves not clouded by the idea that they're in a love triangle or whatever it is they think they're relationship is, and then make out sloppy style

[darcyolsson]

it may look like ody3 is so over but fear not guys i know we are about to be so back..... this episode literally had avery remembering the threesome as the best sex of her life and then when she was right in the middle of having hot steamy experimental freaky deaky sex with tristan she still took the time to mournfully gaze off into space bc their dilf wasn't there with them. she literally had this man who's whipped beyond comprehension for her naked in her bed saying [sabrina carpenter voice] '🎶have you ever tried... this one? 🕺✨️' and her only reaction to it was to go sighhhh...... sex with one partner was cool to try once but I'm kind of over it now :/ where's max I need to bully him about his love for monogamy again. For personal reasons

I keep seeing people saying Zeus was OOC for striking Athena at the end of God Games and that he was mad at Odysseus

Guys, did we listen to the same song?

Athena's last argument to won the game was literally saying in a magic colleseum full of every single greek magical creature

"Yeah, Zeus is a cheater and a fuckboy, unlike Odysseus"

Athena literally won by insulting Zeus in front of everyone's faces and making Hera, the Goddess of Marriage and very much known wife of Zeus, agree with that.

Zeus was not pissed at Odysseus, he was very much pissed at Athena for using a mortal to compare him (and it goes somehow along the original story, in which Zeus complains about the humans being pissed at the gods for their fates when the gods are basically just "doing their jobs")

There are two wolves inside of me.

One of them wants Siobhan to still play Riva in a hypothetical Starstruck season 2 even though they went back home at the end, maybe as a "you know what, let's do one last job together" thing or a reunion.

The other wants Siobhan to play Zortch instead

Something to address early in fandom I think: are y'all going to be weird if the show ends and the resolution does actually end up being a poly-v with Avery at the center? Like I really hope (and think it's very possible!) that we are heading towards a closed triad but if it ends up with Max and Tristan being metamours or even qpp, I would still be deliriously happy having a main polyamorous ship on a network television show. Because the way some of y'all have been talking in the tags you guys don't seem to even consider it a valid relationship dynamic despite it being a real thing people do.
