Before You Read:
This is a fanfiction retelling inspired by Epic The Musical and The Odyssey, but it takes creative liberties with both the plot and the characters. One major change: Diomedes is reimagined as the antagonist-and as a love interest. If you're expecting a faithful adaptation, this version will surprise you.

No Oaths Between Us
Diomedes is a warrior with one burning desire: to be remembered. Isolated, hardened, and overlooked, he dreams of glory before death. But no matter what he does, it's Odysseus-the cunning, celebrated hero-who wins the praise of history. Resentful and desperate to claim a legacy of his own, Diomedes sets out to kill the man who overshadows him. But fate intervenes. The assassination fails, and Diomedes ends up entangled in Odysseus's long, dangerous journey home to Ithaca. Forced to travel together, the two clash constantly-Diomedes cold and self-serving, Odysseus warm-hearted and loyal to his men. Yet somewhere between battles and betrayals, longing begins to bloom.
What starts as rivalry slowly unravels into something deeper-conflict giving way to connection, hatred turning into something far more complicated. As both men face gods, monsters, and the ghosts of their pasts, they're forced to ask: Can love survive a war-torn world? And can two enemies learn to rewrite their fates-together?
This is an ongoing, reimagined tale of rivalry, survival, and forbidden romance at the heart of an epic.
In the final moment before her destruction, Wanda Maximoff " the Scarlet Witch " is pulled into a void beyond time or form. Lost in the abyss of her guilt, a mysterious light touches her... and brings her back. Not to her world, but to another. One where magic is different. Where redemption might take shape: the world of Harry Potter.
When a luminous figure " a doe " shows her the memories of a boy abandoned and mistreated by his relatives, Wanda understands her new purpose: to protect Lily Potter's son. Though she doesn't know why she was chosen, she accepts the deal. In exchange for a chance at redemption, she will care for little Harry.
But Wanda is no ordinary witch. And this world is not ready for her. From the very first moment on Privet Drive, the Dursleys will feel that something has changed.
With power, resolve, and growing compassion, Wanda will face a new destiny. Because this time... no one will touch the boy without facing her.
After all, who better to protect the Boy Who Lived... than the Scarlet Witch herself?
Author's Disclaimer:
This story is loosely inspired by the initial premise of Strange Potter, a work I greatly admire and that served as a creative spark for developing this project. Although the plot, character development, and events are entirely original and distinct, I believe it's only fair to acknowledge that initial influence.
Likewise, this is a non-profit fanfic that blends elements from the Marvel and Harry Potter universes, whose rights belong to their respective creators and owners (Marvel/Disney and J.K. Rowling). This work is made with respect and with the intention of paying tribute to these worlds that so many of us have enjoyed.
