Fics like Salted Hearts

“So you do not have a family.” It was a statement, not a question, but he still nodded. “You have no name to align with your own.” “The others at the palace had taken to referring to me as ‘The Son of Sisyphus’. I do not wish to be called that.” He sounded pitiful, and yet there was still not any sign of that cursed emotion in her eyes. Instead there was something sharp and hair-raising about the way her pupils seemed to grow and then shrink the longer she looked at him. “You are alone.” “I am alone. . .” he whispered, knowing she heard him. “I do not wish to be forever.” At the age of twelve Odysseus is ripped from his home and stripped of his titles after narrowly avoiding execution by his own father's hands. Unable to find stability, his wanderings lead him to Sparta. There he meets Menelaus and, by the other prince's encouragement, agrees to compete for Helen’s hand for the sake of food and shelter. Unsure of what comes next, Odysseus only knows one thing: his struggles are far from over. . . Inspired by the non-Homeric myth of Odysseus’s father being Sisyphus rather than Laertedes, and my own love for a certain song that introduced me to EPIC.
