Now a thousand miles and a thousand years from home, all alone with just the ghost of a curse to accompany her in her travels, she will only fight for the wars she chooses.AKA
Sent to the start of the Trojan War, Rhea Jackson does not wish to be involved in another war of the gods

Summary
The blade, held high, hidden from his view. Nails clawing his neck. His eyes scrunched up.
As he asked for forgiveness, he grew silent with helplessness, and she swung.
or
What would have changed, had Odysseus not spoken up? Perhaps not everything. Perhaps everything that mattered.

Summary
Borne of necessity, this joining of body and soul on the battlefield amid the black blood plaguing their every step is tether to Laertides, anchor to Tydides, string to pull through the armies of the Danaans to keep one's feet steady, just as Theseus had followed the string white-armed Ariadne gifted him. Such is the knot these two have tied, godlike Diomedes and wily Odysseus, upon the golden thread they hold between them.
Then and only then are they righted in their place in the great Kósmos, between sand and stars and the tang of salt on the wind, hemmed in as they are by the Trojans, breakers of horses on one side and by the great sea and indeed the well-greaved Achaians on the other with their many beached black ships.

Actually the best written thing I’ve read on this website. Insanely good. Calliope has blessed this writer, for even without an invocation the touch of the divine shines through. /pos. Maybe I’m getting too pagan in the bookmark notes but y’know what it’s fuckin’ true.
I don’t know what the Ao3 equivalent of “#posts that have 100k to me” is, but I am in dire need of it now. Fics that have 100k hits to me? -

Summary
She is kind, when he doesn't fight her. She gives him space when he doesn't try to avoid her. A goddess, she could take by force whatever she wished and he'd be powerless to stop her, but... she doesn't. Instead, she's wearing him down slowly, one step at a time. Like breaking a skittish, wild horse to accept the bridle. The thought should fill him with dread, but he can't help but feel pathetically thankful instead.
Seven years is a long time to spend imprisoned, even in paradise. A long time to exist on the whims of another. A long time for a mortal to live enveloped in divine power. How did Odysseus survive?

hollyyyy shitttt.
perfectly edges the line between whump and psycological torture and does such a good job exploring circes abuse of odysseus in an original way that manages to be even more devastating than the usual interpretation of cannon. 100/10
