Summary
In the shadows of war and duty, quiet bonds are hidden from prying eyes—some tender, some painful, and some worth breaking the rules for. This is the story of a forbidden love between Prince Hector of Troy and Queen Odysseus of Ithaca, how it all started and what the war will force them to do.

Summary
Extract:
Polites stood in front of him, his arms crossed over his chest. No doubt, he was trying to go for menacing, but Odysseus knew him well enough to not be cowed.
“You have been avoiding me.” Ominous words, spoken in a dangerous voice.
It would have been threatening, had it not been part of a game of words Odysseus was well versed in, a game they had been playing since childhood.
He held a hand to his chest, the very epitome of offended.
“I have not!”Polites did not take the bait and resume their usual friendly banter.
OR
The war was over. Troy had fallen. They were all alive.
And yet, Odysseus was not okay.
Polites noticed this, and roped Eurylochus into confronting him about it. Angst ensues.Series

Summary
Maybe Penelope was too focused on her friend and Clytemnestra was too focused on her emotions, but none of them caught the redness of his eyes, the way Odysseus's hair was similarly disheveled like Clytemnestra's.
Maybe it was better that way...

Summary
Set before "Say No To This" but after "Cabinet Battle #1." Events/season changed for the purpose of the story.
It's winter time and Alexander Hamilton is not having a good time. There was so much pressure - he needed to pass his debt plan, but wasn't getting anywhere with Thomas Jefferson or James Madison. His wife was gone with the children to Albany. He forgets to eat. Doesn't sleep. To top it all off, he has to walk back home in the cold after a freak snowstorm.
How could it get any worse?

Summary
Diomedes loved the man, he truly did. From the Ithacan king’s smug grin to his silver tongue- and the way he would orchestrate his plans and keep the Greek camp from crashing and burning- he truly has grown to love him. But he didn’t know how much more he could take seeing someone he held so dearly skipping so close to death’s gate.
So, he takes matters into his own hands. After all, if you truly loved someone, you would do anything to keep them safe- even if it's from themselves.
Odysseus would understand. If not, he will come to understand.
He will.
Or,
A small retelling of Diomedes' love for Odysseus and his descent into obsession. An ending divergence.
