Alexander Hamilton:

-Who are you?

Odysseus:

-Im you except ı have self control and a deep sense of loyalty to my wife,

Alexander Hamilton:

Odysseus:

Alexander Hamilton:

-…Soo do you have a boyfriend whose death deeply affected you in your musical?

Odysseus:

-…Yes…

**Alexander and Odysseus cries in a corner together**

**Meanwhile**

Maria (Just explained her reason for having an affair with Hamilton):

-So ı know it doesn’t excuse my actions… but ı needed to protect my daughter from my husband….

Circe (Who has been listening to Maria):

-Uh huh, totally unrelated question but do you like bacon? 

[this-life-was-amazing]

P...Polites...?

Odysseus couldn't believe it. His friend, the one he thought he lost to the lotus, was here.

It's me, Od-- Right. The curse, it made... Polites wouldn't recognise him.

I-... Nevermind. I'm... I'm Ulysses.

- @unseen-king

"Hm?" Upon hearing his name, the ghost turned his head, giving the 'stranger' a warm smile. "Well, hello!" Polites momentarily looked 'Ulysses' up and down, gears clearly turning behind his eyes. There was a familiarity there, but one he couldn't quite place. There was a warmth in his now normally cold chest that he only ever felt when thinking of one person... but something kept him from making everything click, from connecting the normally obvious dots. And that fact, knowing something was wrong but not being able to place what frustrated him. Polites shook his head to get himself out of his thoughts, realizing he was staring while trying to figure things out. "Apologies, I didn't mean to stare- I'm not normally so rude, I promise-" "Have we met before?"

[just-a-mer]

[Having been thrown into the living world once again, the spirit of the true Captain's best friend had decided to take to caring for one of the abandoned ships near the sirens' isle; a token of the danger of the sirens' singsong temptations. He'd been idly exploring the vessel when he recognized the sound of a siren in the waters below, looking over the edge and smiling at the familiar face.]

"Oh, didn't expect to see you here, Captain! Tell me, what are you doing in the water?"

[He smiles as he leans against the railing of the ship, tilting his head to the side slightly. He knew full and well this wasn't his Captain. That much was clear. But he also knew he couldn't drown as a spirit, and he wanted nothing more than to hear his best friend's voice again...]

- You know who! =]

<< @op3n-arms >>

Odysseus froze at the familiar voice calling out to him with a title he had long lost. "Polites.." The name slips from his lips before he has time to catch the fleeing hope in his tone.

The siren turns, gazing up at Polites from the sea below the abandoned vessel. It is painfully clear the man is merely an echo of an amazing life lived. Yet his greeting tells Odysseus that this is not the same Polites he has been missing. Still, he can't help but smile.

"I am just as surprised to find you here, old friend. You know I've always had a fondness for the water." He answers, crossing his arms on a nearby rock.

[quackity1999]

I tried being nice, but it seems like that won't work here.

When I come back, Quackity, you're not getting rid of me again. I'm NOT going away again, so better get fucking used to me talking in your ears. Maybe Manburg is gone, but las Nevadas isn't, and it needs a competent leader, someone unlike you. You fuck up everything you touch. I'm surprised this place hasn't burnt to the ground with you leading it. Maybe it already has from the inside, and you're too idiotic to notice it.

-🍾(I'm TRYING to fit more curses in the dialogue but I don't curse much I'll do my best to up it o7)

now— hold on a fucking second. i'm the only person who could bring you back. right? i mean, dream's stuck in fucking prison. he keeps going on and on about how he's got all the revival shit stuck in his head.

so therefore. you're not getting out of this unless i say so.

god. it's almost like— it's almost like i've had power over you since day one. HA. i mean. fuck, what with the pooling votes, and now this? what the fuck am i calling you sir for?

schlatt; listen to me. you'd turn my nation into a fucking orgy den within minutes if you got your hands on it. i'm not taking that risk right now.

unless i find a way to get you on a tight leash. :]

[pintsizedpolites]

which god cursed you?

"We don't really know for sure yet that reminds me I need to ask ody to see if he'd ask athena if she knows who"

[thrpr0phetuseek]

[The familiar creaking of the vessel's boards under their feet fills their ears as the boat carries them down the Lethe, Polites standing at the bow with his back to his men as the chilly breeze of the Underworld brushes his hair out of his face. They'd gone through so much already- suffered through the wind bag, lost nearly everyone to Poseidon, had to grapple with Circe to get her to change his crew back to humans. It all weighed on his shoulders like lead, reminding him of how he's constantly failing his brothers. Their true Captain would be doing better than this if he were still here, he was sure of it. But Circe had taken mercy on them after a bit of negotiation, and had directed them to the Underworld - speaking of a prophet who could help them get home. After a moment, he turns to face the crew, his expression somber as the vessel comes to a stop.]

"You all stay here. Stay on the ship, don't let anyone wander off. I don't care who you hear or see- it isn't them." [Polites instructs, the crew accepting the order before he lightly hops over the edge of the vessel and lands on the isle. The memory of seeing the apparition of his captain weighs heavy on his mind as he glances around, pushing away the memory with a small sigh. He adjusts the fabric on his shoulders as he starts to walk, his eyes searching for the prophet.]

ooc: guess who? :3c /silly

- @not-the-man-you-knew

[ they strode across their isle, sporadically pausing and listening to the growing voices. Those aren’t souls, they sounded too meaty, too alive. They made a slight clicking noise with their tongue, hiding some faint emotion towards the sensation that followed. A contradiction ]

[ slowly, they settled into one of the lower branches of their willow tree, resting their hand on top of their staff as to not displace it when they choose to move. They waited, listening, thinking back to everything they’d seen. The prophecy. The one that constantly changed; killing the original man and causing another to shoulder his fate, his twists and turns of the road he was supposed to walk. The pain the crew carried was tangible, and it wasn’t long before the began to feel it gathering, settling around them as the pace of the man grew ]

[this-life-was-amazing]

"Oh, good! That's great to hear!" "So no hard feelings then...?"

"Good evening, Lord Poseidon! I'm unsure if you remember me in particular, but I'd like to formally apologize for the whole… 600-Strike incident on behalf of my crew." "Personally, I would have preferred for things to end more peacefully, but you were quite insistent on settling things violently, and we couldn't just let our captain fall, you see, not without a good fight." "Oh, and I hope your wounds have healed by now and that you are no longer in any pain!" // @this-life-was-amazing //

Ah, I see. You are one of Odysseus' fallen crew, yes? Thank you for the apology.

I have indeed since healed from what happened with your captain.

[calypso-apologist]

welcome to the best part of your life ♡

or rather, my little hyperfixation hole. i've wanted to make a blog since wisdom saga, but there was always something in the way. but now that the ithaca saga is out (still fangirling about it ngl), i decided to finally do it!!

for those of you who don't know me, hi! i'm nosferatu (also known as mary or @nosferatu-inside-of-me) and i like to write fanfics. more specifically, character x reader fanfics. i am also a helpol pagan and a huge mythology nerd, so epic obviously pulled me in. and what does that mean? i need to write.

and here's a small list of who i will write for:

gods:

Zeus

Poseidon

Hermes (with inclusions of the silly little Hermes tiktoks)

Apollo

Hephaestus

Ares

Aeolus (remembering that the musical still calls Aeolus a he!!)

goddesses/nymphs:

Athena (platonic only)

Aphrodite

Hera (platonic only)

Circe

Calypso

mortals:

Odysseus

Polites

Telemachus

Antinous

Penelope

if you're convincing enough, you can probably get me to add other characters in, too. i will most likely be including some personal headcanons inspired by the myths. modern au is cool with me, too.

i can write both sfw and nsfw stuff. i'm especially fond of yandere content. i make character.ai bots sometimes, so those can happen, too. if you ask nicely.

obvious dni:

terfs

zionists

pedo/zoophiles

homophobes, transphobes, fatphobes, anyone like that

myth literalists

i don't care about minors, i'm not your parent, you can interact with the content, just don't try to get personal with me.

ps: i don't have a masterlist. i don't plan to make one.

[this-life-was-amazing]

You start felling strange wage pressing on your shoulder. Something light and soft brush your cheek. Whatever it is it wobble a little, like it's trying to catch ballance. Another soft thing smack you in the head. You feel spikes of pain in your shoulder, like you got stabbed by six needles. Pressure spikes arond your shoulder, strong grip is pressing needles deeper into your skin. After few seconds the feeling is lost. Whatever was grabbing you it let go. But the weight stayed. It stopped wobbling around, seems like it got it's ballance. Something warm and fluffy is pressed to your cheek, letting quiet little "coo". Surprisingly it's sounds apologetic. It seems to trying to apologize to you for stabing you witch it's talons

"WOAH-" Polites reacts mostly in surprise to the pain in his shoulder - he hasn't felt pain since he first died, so it was quite jarring. He put a hand on... whatever was on his shoulder, petting it gently. He nuzzled against it with his cheek as it pressed against him. "Well, hello, little critter! Don't worry, I'm alright. A little scratch is nothin'!"

[just-a-mer]

[A familiar laughter echoes across the seas, the light singsong voice of a man Odysseus knew well reaching the man from somewhere on the water.] "No need to be so tense! Try to relax, my friend!" [The laughter rings out again as the waters shift around the siren, the currents signalling a familiar swim pattern from the only siren with an abnormal tail.]

- @jump-into-my-op3n-arms

<< ooc: your choice! whether ody's hallucinating the voice of his fallen best friend or this is an earlier point in time where he's still alive is up to you, my friend :3 >>

Ooc: decided to do after Polites dies, perhaps more recent. Still trying Polites' moto of "greeting the world with open arms" but struggling to cope :D

Odysseus perks up at the sound; so familiar and yet so forgotten among the miles traveled on open sea. He no longer needs to sit upon the ship his men row, as his tail had been returned to him for a while now. So, instead, he had been resting on his back among the waves, hoping the gentle rise and fall would ease his mind. However, he still had to keep pace with the ship, and the peace never lasted long.

"Polites..?" the siren calls, hopeful despite the worry of his once strong mind faltering under the guilt of his best friend's light being snuffed out. He sits up and looks around, trying to spot a glimpse of the figure he missed.

War of Faith fics!

So @stultiloquentia told me to link my fic here on Tumblr! In truth I've been remiss about sharing my complete War of Faith obsession here, but I am so, so obsessed. This show isn't even stealth m/m romance, as far as I'm concerned, it's just a straightforward BL about these two and their intense smoldering obsession with each other, masquerading as political idealism, but no one here is fooled, I mean look at them look at them

like if you haven't watched show yet you're sleeping on not only one of THE best c-dramas in recent memory, with stellar acting and edge-f-your-seat action and layered writing and intricate direction and absolutely gorgeous production design, but one of the most satisfying queer subtexts of any show ever.

um. which is to say i have been trying very hard to make this fandom happen by way of writing fics in a variety of shapes and sizes, and i haven't linked any of them here yet but if anyone would like to read them, here they are!

All fics are Shen Tunan/Wei Ruolai.

Out of his system. 1,269 words. Just a short scene and a quick bit of shenlai suit kink because i couldn't take their blazing UST anymore. Written after episode 8, which was 5 eps before the show actually gave us canonical shenlai suit kink?!?! This show, I swear. I swear!!!!

Wedding night. 3,385 words. Written after episode 16 and the epic staircase wedding ceremony. Just taking things to the obvious next level.

Ask a Manager: My boss is showing blatant favoritism to my coworker. This is just a silly meme I wrote based on the actual AAM blog before Congyun's longsuffering got kinda sad actually.

of a feather. 5,657 words. Kind of a pre-canon AU that posits spy!handler Shen Tunan, meeting a teen Wei Ruolai. Cue mutual obsession. I was so obsessed with this headcanon, I had to write it.

鵬程萬里. 1,130 words. A sort of stream-of-consciousness ramble from Ruolai's pov on becoming half of an intense soulmate bond, look i didn't say any of this was restrained.

Okay and here finally is an actual fic fic, except not because it started out as just a series of 5+1 sketches and then became a fic in the second half despite my best efforts.

So I guess when I say I've been "writing fic" for this pairing I just mean I've been frantically coughing up loosely formed ideas hoping something sticks and might inspire other people to watch this show and join me in this pit because holy christ this pairing is off the chain— hot, sexy, mutually obsessed, so fucking smart and competent and obsessed with each other's briliance, so completely capable of trading who doms who in the relationship while equally capable of forming a lifetime lifestyle dom/sub partnership, 100% society elite power couple while also rough-and-ready rivals having intense soulmate bond sex in-between trying to fuck each other over for social justice, just an OTP for the ages.

sigh. just. shenlai everyone. SHENLAI.

[luck-and-loss]

"Deep breaths, my friend. It'll pass." Eurylochus hums, reaching out to place his palm on Polites' back, rubbing small circles until his breathing evens out. Something about the sight is oh so familiar and not in a way he welcomed.

Eurylochus had been wandering for what felt like an eternity. After the thunder and the excruciating pain that came with it, he was swiftly whisked to the underworld. Over the hours, or days, he wasn't quite sure how to measure time in this place. The soldier found what he'd been looking for.

"Polites?" He calls, the name feeling like a breath of fresh air, slipping from his mouth as easy as it had when they'd both been alive.

He hadn't forgotten about that moment; the tightness in his chest as he watched the life slip from his friend's eyes, once so bright. The dull look would forever haunt him, as would the feeling of blood on his hands. But his promise - he wouldn't ever let that go. He hadn't.

[He'd found himself idly staring down into the Lethe once more, having nothing better to do- if he listenes closely, he swears he can almost hear the voices of his crew and captain as they sail down it as they had once before, the creaking vessel carrying them down it. He paused slightly as one of those voices becomes reality, instantly recognizing it as he looks back behind him. Something within him lights up at the sight of the second in command, and he can feel tears stinging his eyes near instantly.]

"Eurylochus-?"

[pintsizedpolites]

Has anyone ever disrespected you for your size?

"Sadly yes it has been mostly perimedes he's been mostly teasing me i don't think he likes my open arms mind set..."
