[ananiel]

They called him Penelios—the steadfast prince of Ithaca.

His name was whispered in reverence, carried by salt-laden winds across marble halls. The servants admired his patience, the suitors mocked it, and the bards spun songs of his unwavering heart—how he wove by day and unraveled by night, waiting for a husband swallowed by distant seas.

They saw the devotion carved into his silence.

None of them saw the cracks running beneath the surface.

But you had found them.

—

You came on wings of quicksilver—feathers flicking at your temples, golden sandals brushing across the stone. Your laughter echoed in corridors long emptied of joy, and your smile cut through the heavy silence like a knife through damp linen.

At first, you were only a messenger.

Another god’s servant sent to remind him of promises made under the weight of his crown. You brought letters from Odysseus—brief scraps of parchment, the ink smudged and hurried.

Penelios never read them anymore.

His fingers traced the folds of the parchment, but his eyes stayed locked on your wings.

No one had touched him in years.

No one had looked at him the way you did—half amused, half pitying, as if you already knew what he had buried beneath the loom and the hours stretched endlessly across marble floors.

“So patient,” you teased, leaning against the cool stone walls. “You must love him very much.”

He never answered.

You never pushed.

You only waited.

—

It was the silence that broke him in the end.

The long nights with nothing but the loom’s steady rhythm to fill the hollow ache beneath his ribs.

He began to wait for you—more than he ever waited for Odysseus.

The sound of your wings became the measure of his days. He learned the flick of feathers against stone, the whisper of wind stirred by your flight.

He left small offerings—honey tucked beneath folds of linen, feathers collected from birds in the garden. Not for the gods.

For you.

—

One night, when the moon hung low and Ithaca slept, he caught you lingering.

Your wings folded close against your temples, shadows pooling beneath the soft curve of each feather. For once, you looked... tired.

You didn’t tease him.

You only stood beneath the colonnade, arms crossed loosely, head tilted to the sky.

Penelios hated you for making him want.

Hated how his hands ached to reach for those wings—to count the feathers one by one, to feel the softness he dreamed of beneath his fingers.

“You should pray more,” you murmured without turning. “It would make the waiting easier.”

His throat closed around the ache rising inside him.

“I do pray.”

You glanced at him, sharp and knowing.

“To which god?”

He couldn’t answer.

You only smiled—like you already knew the truth.

—

The first time you found him crying, you thought it was for Odysseus.

You knelt beside him without a word, your wings half-unfurled to shield him from the cold night air. Your fingers brushed his hair, your voice softer than he had ever heard it.

“He will come home,” you whispered.

Penelios flinched beneath your touch—because it was not him he was crying for.

It was you.

It was the weight of longing pressing against his ribs until he could no longer breathe. It was the shame curling hot in his chest because he no longer cared if Odysseus ever returned.

All he wanted was this—your hands tangled in his hair, your feathers brushing against his skin.

He bit down on the sob rising in his throat and let you hold him in silence.

If you felt the way his breath caught each time your wings flicked, you said nothing.

—

After that night, he began to pray in earnest.

Not to Poseidon.

Not to Athena.

Only to you.

He left offerings where he knew you would find them—small bowls of honey on the windowsill, sprigs of lavender tucked beneath his pillow.

He never asked to touch your wings.

He only watched them—counted each feather like a sacred relic, traced their shimmer in his mind when sleep refused to come.

—

One dusk, he found you asleep in the garden—wings curled around your head like a living veil, golden lashes flickering against your cheeks.

He knelt beside you, heart hammering against his ribs.

He could have touched you then.

He could have traced his fingers along the curve of your feathers—hoarded their softness the way he hoarded every glimpse of you.

Instead, he left a bowl of honey at your side and walked away with his hands clenched into fists.

—

You woke to find the offering and smiled—slow and knowing, like you had felt his gaze lingering in the dark.

Your wings flicked, catching the sunlight.

He should have hated you for that, for the simple fact You are alive and not helping his husband back home

Instead, he began to leave offerings in secret—silent devotion wrapped in trembling hands.

Not prayers.

Promises.

—

If Odysseus ever returned, Penelios would unravel the loom thread by thread.

He would shatter every vow he had ever made beneath the weight of his name.

He would give up the kingdom, the crown, the songs woven around his waiting.

He would lay himself bare beneath your wings—silent and trembling, begging you to stay.

He would worship the curve of each feather, the breath of your laughter echoing in empty halls.

He would burn every letter from Odysseus.

He would let Ithaca crumble to dust.

And if the gods ever took you from him—

He would curse every star in the sky until Olympus itself cracked beneath the weight of his devotion.

You would never belong to him.

But Penelios would belong to you, thread by thread—until there was nothing left but your name carved into the hollow cage of his chest.

Penelope...question... would you still love your husband if he were turned into a woman?.......Odysseus.....YOU CAN KILL ME LATER!!! (I had to.)

Penelope : oh my..... I will say it now and I will say it again if needed. I will fall in love with Odysseus over and over again. No matter how where or when. He is mine.

[protagaster]

Odysseus, looking down at his kneeling wife, child, and their patron God: What did you three do?

Penelope, covered in blood: ...

Telemachas, also covered in blood: ...

Ares, trying to hide a couple of bloody spears behind his back: ...

Odysseus: At least tell me this: how many bodies do I have to hide this time?

[cephalopod-crybaby]

Spideypool and/or lesbians loving people I need your help.

I'm writing a genderbend fic for them, and I hate using Wanda for fem!Wade. I know Ladypool is canonically named Wanda but it just has the worst vibes to me, completely out of character. I like Wynn for Deadpool, but I do wonder if it strays too far from his original name.

So, thoughts?

More Operation P.A.G.E.A.N.T stuff with Penny and Woylie! @kommandonuovidiavoli

[pass3ra]

cressida's storyline was genuinely shameful tbhhh it's like they started rewriting it in the first half of the season then completely forgot about the changes they'd made to make it fit the book plot and it just ends up making everyone else look bad😐 every character in the second half got a "penelope did nothing wrong" lobotomy so we ended up with eloise completely ignoring cressida being sold off to an horrible man (when she made every effort to support her in the first half of the season) and for some reason resenting her for pretending to be lady whistledown? Then they somehow frame her ignoring colin's offensively bad pleas as it being her turning away from redemption when all she's trying to do is escape being trapped in the country with her likely abusive aunt... and it ends with her meeting her horrible fate and it still being framed as tragic only to immediately juxtapose it with the bridgerton family winning the idgaf war while gleefully seeing off francesca and her future dead husband. The bridgertons were the villains of the season frfr

The Circe Tiresias Saga

After the confrontation with Amphitrite, they wash up in what looks like paradise on earth, but by this point they know their lesson a bit more and instead are appropriately terrified and wary. To top things off, their ship is wrecked, they have no food, and like 500 of their comrades just died. Circe for her part is super sad because Scylla just died and she misses her gf. Imminent Circe crash out approaching.

Also once again they have no food, so they draw lots to see who goes to investigate the island and get food. Since Penelope has the worst luck in Ancient Greece outside of anyone born into the house of Atreus, she draws the lot to go explore the island alongside half the crew. Bracing herself for the worst, she goes.... and things are actually pretty nice! They find food and fruits but when they come back to the camp, it's to find the camp empty, except for one person: Circe. Who looks absolutely freaked out.

She gives them the run down. While they were gone someone came to the camp, a foe like one they haven't encountered yet, a monster too terrible to describe... A handsome man. So he hit them with the can I come inside? (damn) (Did I change the details so I could have that joke? Yes) and talked with them for a bit before offering them food and a place to stay. And apparently Circe is the only one that remembers the lesson they literally just learned and decides to skip on the offer, but she trails after them. And she manages to see how the man gives them food and they almost immediately turn into snakes. Understandably freaked out, Circe ran for the hills and tries to convince Penelope to just leave. Please. Unfortunately Penelope is suffering through the horrific ordeal of having a conscience and decides to go rescue them.

Luckily enough, she's saved from certain doom by either Hermes or Iris showing up and deciding to lend a hand. That part goes pretty much like with Odysseus, and so does Done For. They fight, he loses, he decides to roll Persuasion. It's ineffective. Instead of being into the guy totally offering to sleep with her no strings attached I swear bro she starts doing what she does best: yapping about her husband. Tiresias is like. Y'know what. This might as well happen. And decides to turn her crew back into humans and let them rest on his island while they patch up their ship and rest before sending them to the underworld to talk with a prophet.

[sunny-rants]

Lesbian Penelope who’s had a crush on her best friend’s older sister since they met, but tells herself it’ll never happen cause Caroline Bridgerton is straight as an arrow, and doesn’t see her that way anyways

[messymoonmad]

[Genderbends your Odysseus and Penelope]

After ody here comes PENE ! I wanted to make him very masculine to show off his spartan side

[protagaster]

I really hope Ares is just "when your dad was a better grandparent than he was a parent"

Penny was arguably Ares' first time mentoring a mortal that was not related to him. What do you mean mortals CANNOT slice at a training dummy all night and be expected to spar the morning after?

Meanwhile, he's cheering Tele on just for being able to wear armor without tipping over like a turtle.

Sapphic Perciver AU

I don't know what but I have the urge to make a sapphic Perciver au.

It all started when my sister was complaining that I always talk about gays (by that she means that I only talk about Percy and Oliver and that I needed more variety in the parings I'm obsessed with.) And we started talking a bout different parings and I just jokingly tell her that I would just make them lesbians so she wouldn't hear the same thing over and over.

Even though it was a joke, it stuck with me for all this week and I cannot stop thinking about it. So I'm making this post so I can forget about it.

Their names:

Oliver - Olivia, being the female alternative of Oliver and wanted to keep as similar to their original names. Her pet name would be commonly used by her team as Ollie as a short form, like in many other fics that feature Oliver, but I like to think that Percy, being her best friend would have a specific pet name that only her could call her and that would be Livvy. I didn't know that you could use that as a pet name but I find it interesting and quite unique in some form.

Percy - Percy, as Percy is also a girl's name with its origins in France. it also could be use as a short form of Persephone, that many authors use in they fics when portraying femPercy. I like to keep her the same name as the original as it's related with being brave, something that Percy was, even if it in a different types of braveness that it normally shown in media. The name Percy also means hard working, patient, responsable, inteligent, determined and honorable, all traits I see in him and also would see in his female counterpart.

Penny - Penn, I have not really a'n explanation except the sake of keep the names as similar as possible. Searching for the male alternative for Penelope I found Penn. It is used as an abbreviation of the US state of Pennsylvania, but it's also referred to someone who lived on a hill or near a hill. Take that information whoever you want.

Other characters names are the same as in the canon so I don't really care. Would Molly have other four kids when she already had a daughter? No but is for the sake of the plot.

In my head, their story would be much like the song "Little Miss Perfect", (it screams Percy in so many ways). By that I mean that Percy, as a top student and a rol model for the younger kids, couldn't be a homosexual (in her head), in 1992 wouldn't accept her and probably harass her if anyone found out, and also her family (more like her parents) wouldn't approve either and we know that he just want their validation. Scared of not being perfect and messing up, she would ignore anything involving romantic relationship to avoid suspicion. Unfortunately for her, she would discover one night that she might be in love with her best friend, Olivia.

She doesn't take it well and does all in her power to stop seeing Olivia that way. She distants herself and gets a boyfriend, who is the boyfriend you might ask, well, is not other that Penn! Her other best friend who she asked out and accepted. They don't know what a platonic relationship is and Percy thought that this love she was feeling with Penn was "curing her" from her "sinful mind". (She comes from a religious household, non of her siblings follow this believes and neither does she, but her mother does so she thinks that her mother would think she is a siner and disown her.)

Olivia notice this suden change in Percy's actitud and she is a bit worry about her friend and crush. But because she knows Percy, she isn't going to ask her, because she probably won't response. So she asks her brothers for answers, Fred and George are not help and just tease her for asking, saying things like "Why do you wanna know? Do you goes have something?", it is a joke but it makes Olivia nervous because she doesn't want Percy to know yet. Ron didn't help either and just told her that she was worrying for now reason. However, when she asked Ginny she said that she saw her been a lot with a boy. Olivia heart shattered at that moment.

Fred and George over heard the conversation and the rumor spread like fired. There is a lot of suspected candidates that "Perfect Prefect Percy" might be dating but there were three that were the more popular. One is Cedric Diggory as it has been seen before that they are very close but Cedric deny it and he said he was already dating Cho and they where in a date the day that Ginny saw her sister, so people forgot about that. Other was Penn Clearwater as they are best friends and all, but what was the fun on that? Just two best friends who had fallen in love. Too boring for the students to be spreading around. Surprisingly, the most popular candidate was Marcus Flint, it was a wild guess but people love the drama that it would be that the good girl was dating the bad boy. Some students said that they were siting at the library together a lot that week, was it true? Olivia couldn't tell.

She was definitely devastated with every posible man that was dating her best friend, but Flint? That was a backstab she couldn't forget. She wanted to scream to Percy, to tell her that she doesn't want her to be with any other men, that she stays with her and only her. But of course she could say that as it would destroy their friendship even more. She wasn't even sure if Percy knew about the rumors, but if she did, she never said anything.

She tried to confront her once, but it end up them fighting and Olivia leaving yo the quidditch pitch. It was that day that she found Marcus Flint, still annoyed from the earlier fight with Percy and her own jealousy at the possibility that her enemy on the pitch was dating her friend, she started screaming at him.

Marcus was very confused by this and he was scream at her too. But out of nowhere, Olivia started crying and Marcus was more confused. Why would she cry infront of him? In front of her rival. He felt uncomfortable so he tried to make her stop by hugging her, which make it worse.

For the sake of the plot, Percy went to the quidditch pitch to find Olivia and apologise to her, but when she heard crying on the looked rooms, her stomach sank. Her Livvy was crying because of her, she was the cause of her pain and it was killing her inside. She rushed inside to try and comfort her friend, tell her she was sorry, but that stopped as she saw her in Flint's arms. Olivia quickly push Flint away when she saw Percy entering but it was too late, Percy had seen them and had left as fast as she came.

Percy runned back to the castle, not knowing what to do. Why was she so hurt? Wasn't she cured from this cursed? She cried feeling that her heart being ripped away from her.

The next day Olivia tried to talk to Percy, to tell her that what she saw yesterday was not what it seems. That she and Flint are nothing more than acquaintances. But she didn't find her anywhere.

Penn found himself comforting his crying girlfriend. He was really confused at first, and he wasn't really understanding what Percy was saying but he was going to do anything to make her feel better.

After hours of explaining and crying Penn understood, Percy was in love with Olivia and she couldn't keep dating him. He wasn't as heartbroken as he thought he would be, but that is not his priority now. Long talks about her feelings and fears, by the end Penn had convinced Percy that there was nothing wrong and the he would love her no matter what and he was sure that Olivia would do too.

Later that day, Olivia found Percy at their room and run to hug her and tried to explain but before she could say anything, Percy had kissed her on her lips. Too quick to even process it properly, Percy started to tell her how she felt, who she really was, and she was sorry but she had to tell her. That if Livvy wanted her to move rooms she would but she had to get that out of her chest.

Before she could leave, Olivia kissed her, passionately, to show her exactly how she felt. Word couldn't describe their happiness when they found out that they love each other.

They started dating, but they couldn't be public. Percy didn't feel like she was prepared for that. So they agree that Penn would be Percy's "boyfriend", the school already had spread their relationship thanks to the twins so that wasn't so difficult.

As time go on, they were more affectionate in public. Light touches, holding hands when walking along, Livvy resting her head in Percy's lap, Percy playing with Livvy's hair, even kisses on the cheek. No one thought anything because, they are best friends! Best friends do that! Even if Olivia had called Percy her girlfriend in some occasions, but so did Angelina when she hangs out with her girlfriends. Yeah, they were just friends.

They did live together when they graduated and they have matching rings with their iniciales but that is just normal bff behaviour!

It wasn't until years later that anyone had started suspecting anything.

It was Ginny who noticed the way her sister looked at her friend, the way they always seen touching each other. Friends don't do that. But she won't tell anyone, because Percy didn't say anything, she won't tell. She tell her that she knew, that she would love her no matter what.

Charlie had noticed them the first time he got back to England, his little sister wasn't exactly really secretive, or that is how he saw it.

One by one, all her siblings had found out and to be honest, it was very obvious.

It wasn't longer a secret at this point and in 2014, they officialy got married. And they become gay icons in the magic community.

Olivia is a world champion quidditch player, known as THE keeper. She plays with Puddlement United in a mix group. She is the most famous female athlete for her impressive moves and record scores.

Percy, (I like to headcanon that he did become the Minister for Magic) she became the first Ministress for Magic of all time. A dream come true. She was selected when she was 29 and was really happy. Hermione is on the same party and they have chosen Percy as their candidate as Hermione was busy with other at that time.

They didn't have kids until they were both 35, they when to a clinic and asked for a sperm donor to impregnate (never thought I would use that word) Percy as Olivia's work was more physically demanding. Percy carried their child but Olivia wanted to breastfeed, so she started taking hormones to do so (prolactin and oxytocin). Percy told her that she didn't need to but Livvy assure her that she wanted to help and when they found out that they where having twins they were thrilled. But Fred and George were even more. They have been begging for having their names match their inicial, something like Grabiella and Fionna. Olivia and Percy didn't really like the idea.

Molly and Lucy were born from minutes apart and Percy did lost a lot of blood in the process but thankfully, she made it. She did have to be there for two weeks before going home to be sure but it was a well time of rest after months of stress.

It doesn't really makes sense to me that Percy would name her daughter after her mother but maybe is to give that name a new meaning. To stop association it to her mother and more to her daughter so she isn't so hurt. (Her mother doesn't fully accept her, despite her efforts.) Also, they are fraternal twins instead of identical twins as they originally thought.

It is kind of funny to see a family only composed of women. Some people have been against them say that they needed a father figure in their kids life, (Molly l) but with so many uncles, men representation is not something really lacking from their lifes.

The twins favourite uncle was Charlie, despite Fred and George's best efforts to be their favourite. (They wanted to have a double twins stuff with them) he introduced them to their dragon obsession, Molly more that Lucy but still, they are obsessed and always want to talk about it with Charlie that is more than happy to be able to talk to someone who also is so in love with his dragons.

I think that is about it, if anything else pops out I will repost it and put it there. I been writing this for the past three days and to be honest, I think I can add more. Like who would their relationship change with the other characters, because I tell you, there is change. Like Percy and the twins's relationship. The daughter mother dynamics. The Me Crouch Sr situation, (Olivia almost broke up with her because of that and Percy discovered that she also likes men, she definately had a crush on her boss and Olivia didn't like it, she is a jealous girl)

But idk, how would you think they would be? I want to hear more about it. Idk. I really like Fem Percy a lot, being mtf or cis, I don't care, I just like it a lot.

And maybe she could be mtf, that would make sense why Molly continued to have children after her. And maybe she transitioned before going to Hogwarts so almost no one remembers that she was originally born as a boy but idk. I would talk about in another post, this is already too long.

Also, I made a bit of fanart. It's crappy but I like it.

I mess up the colors but it's okay also

Flustered Oliver

They were in the same page if you didn't notice.
