Fics like bury the sea

The wind comes early, salt-laced and restless, tugging at the sails before the sun has fully risen. The sea is silver in the half-light, gleaming like a blade. A dozen black ships line the shore, each a beast of burden groaning under the weight of war—of spears and shields, of men too young and men already weary, six hundred in all. Horses stamp and snort. Armour glints faintly. The world smells of brine and bronze and things left unsaid. And there is the horizon, wide and unblinking, where the gods keep their secrets. Already, Ares drums his fingers against his shield. Athena watches from behind a veil of cloud, sharp-eyed and silent. Apollo cords his bow in the east. Even the Fates lean in, breathless. The heavens tilt toward bloodshed. But the dawn stretches her fingers across the sky, rosy and pale, as though the morning itself hesitates—softening what must be done. Odysseus steps forward. His cloak hangs from his shoulders, sword glinting beneath it at his hip. He looks impossibly far away already, though he hasn’t left yet. But his eyes—his eyes are on her. A dual-timeline look at Odysseus and Penelope—memory and absence side by side.
