The lovely memphis86 posted her fic Ithaca last night and I finally had a chance to read it today and you guys it's sooooo good. Ugh. I am a huge mythology nerd--I pretty much spend my 7th grade in middle school devouring every book on mythology I could find--and this pinged my mythos geekery HARD.

So Memphis had the idea of working off of The Odyssey (and Margaret Atwood's The Penelopiad, which I have yet to read) with Sam and Dean and it's such a delight. It has beautiful poetic touches and I love how it modernizes key moments in The Odyssey and Memphis is so fantastic at the supporting characters--Ruby is awesome here, as is Bobby and I could go on.

The summary for those interested:

Sam remains as loyal as the ocean runs deep.

It's Sam/Dean, set after the S3 finale.

ETA: and since Memphis always rocks it aquatic, I have to show my appreciation in LOLBOT narwhal!Sam form






Poor Emo Narwhal. Don't worry. You'll get your sparkly Dean and he'll love you FOREVER.

Unexpected Narwhal!Sam thrives on surprise. He's like the Spanish Inquisition in a way.
