Antinous and Telemachus

I'm going to be fully honest, I fucking hate how Telemachus came out

[mimiyapshard]

In the warrior Penelope AU, Does Odysseus have to deal with Antonius and the other suitors while his wife’s away? Also how would the challenge go in this AU?

hii, tysm for the interesting question! I'll explain how it goes in my version of the AU below!

Basically, yes, Odysseus still has to deal with the Suitors and Antinous, but with different circumstances to fit the whole thing better.

The Suitors aren't at Ithaca because a king can't rule without a queen, but because Odysseus can't rule without Penelope. They are a team, Odysseus doesn't do it all alone, he knows how smart she is. So without Penelope, the kingdom is crumbling, because half things aren't getting done and the other is neglected by a man who is depressed without his wife. The Suitors go to Ithaca to take over, but it's not that they want to marry Ody (not that they can, though I like to imagine Antinous as a close minded bi man and the Suitors as the LeFou to his Gaston), but rather, they want to be nominated sort of his advisors, someone really close to Odysseus to "help him", to then kill him secretly.

This is where Athena comes in. Athena is there at Ithaca, always has been, to do her best to help Odysseus and buy time. But she's disguised as , guess who, Mentor! Remember him from the myth? Odysseus said that once Mentor is finished weaving, he will choose a suitor, but Mentor is never done weaving. He's the goddess of weaving herself making her secret plan work. Also, Mentor just never fucking dies in 20 years and that's suspicious to the Suitors, since he's not really young. They wait for him to die and he never does, and to that Mentor claims that it's the "will of the gods, probably". Telemachus doesn't know that the man who grew him together with his dad is a goddess.

Now, the challenge. In EPIC (unless Jay changes it but from the snippet it's this), it's "whoever can string my husband's old bow, and shoot through twelve axes cleanly, will be the new king...". In this AU, it's basically the same, since one of Penelope's weapons is the bow. The Suitors are a bit weirded out, because how could a woman be that strong right, but they accept because they think it's too easy. Until Penelope disguised as a man comes and does it better than them. Another way I could twist it up is to make it a weaving challenge instead, and make the Suitors super bad at it because they are warriors, but I feel like we have the weaving theme already and something different is better!

This is my idea for now. Subject to change, like always. If you have any other ideas or want to share your own things, I'd be happy to hear 🫶

Wanna entertain me?

Full body design of Antinous, i gave him more curls to make him a parallel to Odysseus' hair

Also yes, he basically goes semi-naked around the palace showing off his body against the other suitors, and that he doesn't need anything more than his words, his charisma (and his dagger) to win.

For you ♡

༊*· Paring- Telemachus x gn!Reader (Fluff!)

༊*· Note- This might be ooc! The fighting scenes might be bad? I asked a friend of mine for ideas on how I should made them fight! The ending was rushed since I just need this done 😭 So this is NOT proofread!

Thanks for all the support on the first post about this work. It means so much to me guys! <3 If you liked this, please read my work about Hermes!

“Bite little wolf, bite!” Antinous and the other suitors yelled as he continued hitting the prince’s bloodied and bruised body. Telemachus felt weak, unable to defend himself, no one could defend him now. “Strike little wolf, strike!” They continued to yell as Telemachus continued to get harmed, unable to blow back on Antinous… Until the room echoed, a loud hit, straight to Antinous’ face. Telemachus flinched, his eyes flickering open. The figure in front of him… Their hair was all to familiar.. Y/N..?

“You’re so strong until someone ACTUALLY strikes back, aren’t you!” They shout, in between gritted teeth and clenched fists. Athena was slightly taken aback, she had wanted to help the boy… But it seems as if she wasn’t quick enough. Who is this..? “And who do you think you are hm? You’re probably weaker than him, what can you do to 108 men, let alone me. Huh?” Antinous growls, wiping off the slight blood that dripped from his nose. Their figure was small, who were they to be against what he was doing? Don’t they know who he is? Antinous carefully observes the scowl growing larger on their face. “Go on? Or do I have to hit the words out of you like him too?” Telemachus’ eyes widen, he couldn’t let Antinous hit you? Your parents would kill you if they see bruises on your face.

They exhaled the breath they were holding, staring at Antinous back, harder. “I’d like to see you try hit me! Because you can’t..!” A nervous chuckle, they were too confident. This won’t end well for them… But they have to, so they could finally leave Telemachus alone. Another second with silence from both sides, before Antinous’ fist met their chest. So we are doing this then! Great…

“Y/N? Are you okay? I-“ Telemachus placed a shaky hand on their shoulder, why couldn’t they just stay out of this? He could handle himself! “Telemachus, let me go.” Their eyes met with Telemachus, Antinous can’t get away with this now, but they can’t either.. His shaky hand reluctantly left their shoulder, holding his other arm out of worry now.

Antinous took another jab at them, only for them to duck under and swing back at his nose. Oh gods.. They’re really doing this! A sharp pain struck Antinous from the behind, again and again. Antinous’ teeth were practically cracking from how much he was gritting them, why couldn’t he turn around? He wasn’t going to let a measly weakling embarrass him to all the suitors. Antinous finally found the chance, to turn around and strike them now that their fists are tired. The suitor began to pummel them, his blood mixing into theirs.

Oh gods… They need my help! Athena transformed into an owl, instantly pecking at his legs, kicking him with her small feet, if she wasn’t a god this wouldn’t have done much… But.

Antinous fell over.. W-what? Y/N glanced over to Telemachus, who was just as clueless as them. However, the two knew it was their chance to run before he got up. Both of them ended up hiding in Telemachus’ room, entering through a passage underneath a statue of Athena by his mother’s room.

Shaky breaths echoed throughout his room, as if it were the only sound in all of Greece. Telemachus looked at them with frustrated eyes, “are you insane?!” He yells, they were seriously bloodied, for a fight they didn’t need to be apart of! “Maybe, maybe I am..! But you don’t think you are either for just letting him hit you? Telemachus he-“ The prince cut them off, “no Y/N. Listen! You’re seriously hurt, but for what reason? You could’ve just walked past!” Tension between the two quickly began to rise, the air was getting thicker.

“You- I-“ Y/N couldn’t even muster up a proper answer, things were going too quickly, and blood was still running down their face, and his too! The soft noise of Telemachus sighing ringed in her ears, like a reminder he was disappointed. “You’re so stupid..” Telemachus exhales whilst pulling them into a tight embrace, their blood staining his chiton. “Let me deal with Antinous myself next time..”

They clenched their fists, next time..? “No! I- I can’t let a ‘next time’ happen…” The prince pulled away, their reluctance was slowly getting to him. But he needed to fix things first before they could argue.

“Stay there..” Telemachus sighs again, walking towards his bathroom in hopes of finding bandages somewhere..? All Y/N could do was stand there, shoulders slumped as they stared down at the woven carpet. Minutes slowly passed, Telemachus was taking his sweet time. Y/N’s blood had by now made a small puddle in his carpet, staining it garnet.Telemachus shortly returned, his own bruises now concealed by bandages. A small first aid kit gently clenched in his hands, the prince looked down at his carpet and only sighed. “Sit on the bed before my entire carpet goes red…” They complied, doing as he said. The two still stayed silent, only hisses and slight seethes that came from Y/N as he cleaned their wounds. “Why’d you even do it..?” He whispers, looking up at their figure before continuing to bandage their hands.

“I know you.. Antinous is a bully, and he’s not a kind man. He needed to be humbled!” The boy let go of their now bandaged hand, slightly crouching to now work on their face whilst he listened. “You shouldn’t tolerate his behavio- Ow.. Easy on my nose..! That hurts like hell..” The more Telemachus pressed the cloth down onto their nose, the more they winced. “You’re not telling me the full truth, come on Y/N. Why did you do it.” Pressure on their nose only intensified as he spoke, “answer me… Please..?” Telemachus looked up, their faces were slightly close, only his hand in between them.

Moments passed before they opened their mouth, only to close it again. Y/N sighs, “Telemachus I’m doing this for you… I couldn’t just let him hurt you!” His eyes softened, for him..? Really..? A faint red glow began to creep up onto face, unable to now focus on the cloth he was pressing on their nose. Telemachus’ eyes held contact with theirs as he slightly moved forward. “For me..? You didn’t have to, now look what you did..!” They shakes their head, “I did have to. Antinous was going to hurt you.. It didn’t matter if I was going to be hurt! I’m sorry…” Their eyes slightly glimmer, Telemachus continues to move his head forward. His face now just inches away. “I couldn’t just watch Antinous hurt you.. Even if you can handle yourse-“ The prince’s lips met theirs, his hand that was once on her bloodied nose now on their waist, pulling them closer. He pulled away, a slight pant, “I- I’m so sorry… I didn’t mean to do that!” Telemachus panicked, what if that just changed everything between them? Until, they pulled him closer again. “Gods…” The prince murmured, pulling away again, he felt hazy…

“You seriously need to stop cutting me off…” Y/N whispered, softly chuckling at his flustered face. Their nose had long been dry now, the warm hand that was once on it, now slightly squeezing their waist. “You’re insane.. Very stupid too…” Telemachus frowned, burying his face into their neck. “For you? Maybe I am.”
