An Epic Love Between a Demigod and a Prince, Forged by Fate and Saltwater When Y/N Jackson-Percy Jackson's younger, storm-stubborn sister-is caught in a mysterious tempest on her solo quest, she wakes up not in Camp Half-Blood... but in a palace by the sea. Specifically: the royal palace of Ithaca. Telemachus, newly crowned prince and veteran of wars no boy should've had to fight, finds her unconscious on the shore and carries her to safety. He expects a castaway. He doesn't expect a girl who spars like a soldier, argues like a queen, and looks at him like she sees right through the armor. Y/N falls first-but Telemachus falls harder. With Percy crashing in to "rescue" her (and totally losing a sword duel to the prince), Poseidon hurling disapproval like thunderbolts, and Odysseus giving the worst father-in-law advice in history, Y/N finds herself tangled in a love story as wild and dangerous as the sea. There are stolen kisses in moonlit corridors. Jealous gods. Touch-starved tension. Teasing brothers. And a wedding that will make Olympus itself shake. But the biggest twist? Sometimes the real adventure begins after the "happily ever after." ⸻ A romantic mythological fantasy filled with slow-burn tension, laugh-out-loud banter, and a surprise ending you won't see coming-Tides of Ithaca is perfect for fans of EPIC: The Musical and Percy Jackson who want their mythos with a splash of swoon.

"You didn't just run from your past... you ran straight into my future." In the golden days following Odysseus's return to Ithaca, peace finally blankets the kingdom. The royal family-Odysseus, Penelope, and their son Telemachus-step into a new life, one no longer defined by war or waiting. But fate, as always, has other plans. Y/N, a strong-willed young noblewoman, is being forced into marriage with a man she does not love-a stranger who won't take no for an answer. When no one listens, she does the only thing she can: she runs. Deep into the forest, deep into the unknown... and straight into the arms of the prince of Ithaca. One look, and everything changes. As Telemachus and Y/N fall hard and fast, gods take notice. Hermes grins like a brother. Athena approves like a guardian. Odysseus trains her in the art of the bow, and Penelope-reluctantly-welcomes her as a daughter. But the past doesn't vanish so easily, and when her old life comes crashing into her new one, the royal family must decide where their loyalties lie. With stolen kisses, divine mischief, and battles of heart and blade, EPIC: A New Dawn is a story of freedom, found family, and a love written in the stars.

An EPIC: The Musical-inspired Odyssey of Love, Gods, and Destiny She was a daughter of the sea, beauty woven by fate-and cursed by a jealous goddess. When her ship was torn apart by an unnatural storm, Y/N lost everything. Stranded on an unmarked island, her only crime was a beauty so radiant it stirred Aphrodite's wrath. Alone, hunted by the gods, she had all but given up hope-until a weary king named Odysseus stumbled upon her shores. He saw her-not just her beauty, but her fear, her strength, her silence-and took her with him on the final leg of his journey home. But Ithaca is no longer a place of peace. Suitors infest the palace, and the kingdom is on the brink of ruin. Y/N joins Odysseus in the fight to reclaim his throne, her dagger as sharp as the grief she still carries. When the war ends, and she stands before the queen and the prince of Ithaca-Telemachus-something shifts. One glance. One breath. One heartbeat. And everything changes. As the son of a hero and the girl cursed by a goddess are drawn together, love blooms quietly in the cracks of chaos. But the gods are not done with her. Aphrodite does not forget. And love, no matter how pure, must prove itself against the will of Olympus. In a world ruled by gods and glory, can love survive the tide of fate? Or will a jealous goddess claim the girl the sea could not drown?

In a palace built on waiting, two children grow up learning how to survive absence. Telemachus, son of Odysseus, lives in the shadow of a father turned legend. Y/N, daughter of Polites, carries the kindness of a man who sailed away and never returned. Taken in by Penelope after her mother's death, Y/N becomes family-woven into the halls of Ithaca, into Telemachus' life, into the quiet moments between fear and hope. Best friends since childhood, they understand each other in ways no one else can: the ache of missing a parent, the weight of responsibility too heavy for young shoulders, and the loneliness of growing up in a house that no longer feels safe. When the suitors arrive, the palace turns dangerous. Telemachus grows watchful. Y/N grows cautious. Together, they create a single word-Starlight-a promise that if danger ever comes, they will find each other again. As years pass, friendship softens into something deeper, unspoken but undeniable. When Telemachus leaves Ithaca on his mission, he kisses Y/N goodbye and asks her to stay safe. She promises. Fate has other plans. After the fall of the suitors and the return of Odysseus, the truth comes to light-not through battle, but through bruises, tears, and a safeword whispered too late. In the aftermath, love becomes something careful and strong, built not on saving, but on staying. This is a story about survival and healing, about found family and inherited kindness, about choosing tenderness in a world shaped by war. It is about two people who waited, endured, and-together-learned how to live beyond the pain. Because some epics aren't about the journey away. They're about coming home.

A Tale of Love, Loyalty, and Legacy For as long as they can remember, Y/N and Prince Telemachus have been inseparable. Through childhood adventures, whispered dreams, and the looming shadow of Odysseus' absence, they have always found solace in each other. But Ithaca is a kingdom under siege-not by war, but by the ruthless suitors vying for Queen Penelope's hand. As Telemachus struggles to prove himself worthy of his father's name, Y/N stands by his side, offering strength when he falters and courage when he doubts. She is his anchor, his protector, his heart. Yet, as the tides of fate shift, their bond is tested in ways neither expected. When Telemachus leaves in search of answers and returns a changed man, unspoken feelings threaten to unravel everything they have built. And when Ithaca's throne is finally reclaimed, they must decide-will they remain as they always were, or will they take the leap into something more? With Penelope watching from the sidelines-secretly their biggest supporter-their journey is one of love forged in hardship, devotion that defies expectation, and a future written in the stars. This is the story of Telemachus and Y/N. The story of two hearts, bound by fate, finding their way home.

Penelope was pregnant when Odysseus went away. With a daughter. So does that change things? What is her story? Cover Art does NOT belong to me The story of my OC does

The youngest and only daughter of Odysseus, she caught the eye of the great Sun God, Apollo. Only an infant when her father left for the Trojan War, she remained in Ithaca with her mother and brother, anxiously awaiting his return. While her brother received the blessing of Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and War, she was not only blessed by Apollo, God of the Sun, Light, Healing, and Archery-she also won his love.

"You just have to learn to trust, Eleanor." Distressed by the lack of news about Odysseus, Telemachus set out on a journey to visit Nestor, his former comrade-in-arms at Troy, hoping to find out his father's mysterious whereabouts. Little did the young prince of Ithaca imagined how much his world was just about to change after that brief stay in the coastal Kingdom of Pylos. ════════ ✧ ════════ =͟͟͞͞➳ 90,000 Words. =͟͟͞͞➳ Telemachus EPIC x FemOC. =͟͟͞͞➳ OdyPen Content on Chapter 6.
