hellooo!
for those who still remember my old fanfic "waves of ithaca", where i originally planned a love triangle between y/n, hermes, and apollo—i just wanted to give a small update about it ㅠㅠ
you may have noticed i archived the story a while ago because it started feeling a bit overwhelming for me to continue, especially with my current schedule and how much the plot was growing. i also found myself overthinking a lot about how to balance everything (and honestly, it started feeling a bit overwhelming in my head ) so for my own peace of mind, it ended up rotting in my archives.
but lately, i’ve been thinking about it again, and i realize i’m still really attached to the concept and the dynamics i built (particularly with y/n and telemachus). i still really want to finish it, but instead of continuing the full triangle, i’m considering simplifying the story and focusing on just one love interest for the main storyline, while maybe turning apollo and hermes’ dynamic—their banter over y/n—into a separate oneshot in a completely different storyline, while still preserving their original dialogue.
that being said, which direction would you prefer?
ㅠㅠ
who stays? hermes or apollo?
your input would genuinely help me decide what feels best to continue, and what i can realistically handle while still enjoying writing it again.
[ also just a quick note: in this version, hermes isn’t related to odysseus (unlike some other iterations), just to avoid confusion when choosing the direction. ]
that's all for now ><
