Conflicting character development
Alternatively
"When your mom is a better grandma than she was a parent"
Ctimene: I’m cold.
Eurylochus: Here, take my coat.
Penelope: I’m cold too.
Odysseus: What? [taking off coat] I told you to bring more layers but of course you didn't listen and now- [piling scarves on her] now look, I've got to make sure you don't FREEZE to death and- [taking somebody else's hat] how long have you been cold? You should've said something sooner.
So Surprise after way too much time working, some later hours. I finally finished fic from the winner of the Poll I posted a few weeks back. It was tie so I literally just flipped a coin. The poll was to try to get over my writer’s block and I still struggled with it. I’m not entirely happy with this fic but I am a bit proud of it. So I hope you like it. And thanks for reading. Marinette’s week off
Two or three times a month, Marinette wouldn’t be in class. She’d be gone for a few day, once in a while an entire week, and come back like it was nothing. The teachers would never complain. No matter how much the other students in class brought it up. She was gone almost as much as Adrien was.
The teachers refused to say anything. It was clear they knew something but for some reason went pale whenever anyone asked about. More than likely it was the result of the so-called “student aides” that now sat in the back of the class rooms, watching.

First up, this is set centuries into the future. Danny is the ghost king and ancient of space and has taken Ellie (I like that name for her better) in as his daughter.
As is normal for all families, Danny and Ellie don’t always agree on everything. One particular point of contention between the two is Danny being overprotective. She understands that it’s in his nature as a protector spirt but that doesn’t make it any less annoying to have him hovering over her all the time. Just because she’s eternally 12 doesn’t mean she’s defenceless.
After one particularly bad fight between the two she flies off into a random dimension to get some space. The dimension she ends up in being the dc one. After awhile a just exploring and following the heroes of this world she has an idea. What better way to show to her dad that she can handle herself than by becoming a hero?
She introduces herself to the heroes of this world and (after confirming with JLD that she is in fact a ghost and she does in fact have good interiors) ends up joining one of the younger teams (I’m parcel to YJ but teen titans works to)
Now here’s the thing about Ellie. Just like her dad she sucks at explaining things. It just isn’t her strong suit. So when one of them asks about her death, she (after explaining they shouldn’t ask that) explains that she’s a neverborn. She never died, she’s just always been a ghost. Later on when someone asks her how neverborns come to exist she gives the ‘ectoplasm forming about an idea or concept’ explaining and completely forget to mention that’s not the only way.
Needless to say, the team think she doesn’t have parents. Especially adding on the fact she’s still a little pissed at Danny so doesn’t talk about him.
This lead to them being very confused when, in the middle of a huge alien invasion that they were very much about to lose, Ellie yells out “DAD!!!”
That confusion turns into terror when the night sky itself opens its eyes.
Random thoughts that keep CC up at night no. 230394: Warrior!Penelope edition
So I haven't seen a lot for Odysseus in this AU (which, fair, it isn't about him) but I had a few thoughts
- of course after a while, suitors for Odysseus start showing up, but ofc it's women instead of men
- because of this, the castle isn't as trashed as it is in the original Odyssey, but a lot of the Ithica family's money and food is being used up by the suitors
- instead of intimidation like the male suitors use on Penelope, the suitors for Odysseus try to seduce him
- a lot of the women are seen with provocative clothing and lots of jewelry to make them look expensive
- all of them fawning to get Ody's attention meanwhile all he's thinking is "I miss my wife D,: "
- idk names for Antonius' counterpart, but she would be just as aggressive
- maybe as Telemachus starts getting older, a few start going after him as well
- instead of Odysseus making a funeral shroud for Penelope's father, he gets his childhood nurse, Eurycleia to make it (who does indeed unthread it every night like Penelope)
- for the challenge that Odysseus sets up, it's a challenge of skill like the one Penelope does, but a different kind
- the challenge? Outsmart him.
- which may seem simple at a glance compared to the challenge Penelope sets up, but this is Odysseus we're talking about, chosen by Athena for his smarts
- even if in this AU he isn't chosen by a god (which, idk if that's true) he's still sly as hell, and the only person to ever outwit him is his own wife
- the suitors get frustrated that no matter what they say, what angle they got at, they just can't outwit him
- the suitors plans near the end are a lot different, planning to have Telemachus' ship wrecked somewhere with the help of a few well placed bribes, and getting Odysseus drunk and one of them seducing him (I don't know about Greek times, but I do know in older times if a man were to get a woman pregnant, he had to marry her, so that's what I'm going off of)
- but ofc Penelope is here before they can even begin to bribe the crew on Telemachus' ship, and she kills them all :]
- Would you Fall in Love with Me is the same but Odysseus is more pathetic and saying how he's always been hers, and that's never changed no matter what she's done
