#ler!aeolus

i've been resurrected by epic the musical!! (*･∀･*)

it's been a while since i've done an ask, hasn't it??- (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠)

yeah, im sorry about that. i'll be slowly moving my way up to making more when the time comes. for now, enjoy your favorite messenger god!! (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧

1. Lee!Hermes, ler!Apollo: Both of them are having an argument, which happens frequently, and just as Hermes is winning, he somehow accidentally reminds Apollo of the time when Hermes stole his cattle as a baby. Apollo then uses that reminder to finally dish up some revenge for it.

2. Did this in an earlier post, but lee!Zeus, ler!clouds(?): In Neal Illustrator's 'God Games' animatic, the opening scene for Zeus shows him surrounded by cloud women. This triggered an idea, what if, on a random day, Zeus is doing exactly the same thing, but one of the other gods (maybe Hera or Hermes) is feeling cheeky, and discreetly commands the cloud women to start tkling him.

3. Lee!Odysseus, ler!Polyphemus: After killing off his favourite sheep (R.I.S Bill/ref), Polyphemus goes to lift Odysseus up in the air and have a bit of a rant about how it's time to 'drink his blood' or whatever, but Ody is persistent in getting out of the cyclops' hold. Whilst trying to recapture him, Polyphemus inadvertently grazes against a sensitive spot and Ody lets out a stupid squeaky noise. Being a younger cyclops with child-like ideals, Polyphemus gets *very* interested.

4. Switch!Hermes, switch!Tiresias: With a little bit of free time to spare, Hermes decides to visit a certain blind prophet in the Underworld. Tiresias, on the other hand, is not currently using his gift of foresight, and gets quite surprised when a stranger suddenly pinches at his sides from behind, revealing an embarrassing secret by accident. A secret that Hermes wishes to explore, even if it comes with the price of an unexpectedly playful prophet.

5. Lee!Polites, lers!Odysseus and Eurylochus: Shockingly, Polites isn't exactly as much of a morning person as one might expect, and the poor soldier ends up oversleeping one morning on the ship. Will the Captain let this slide? No, of course not, so Odysseus invites his second in command to both help wake their dear friend up, and offer a lesson in getting out of bed when he's supposed to.

6. Lee!Eurylochus, ler!Odysseus (and Polites iyw): Eurylochus worries a lot, that's an objective fact. Not just in necessary situations either, he would sometimes get concerned over the tiniest of issues, such as a soldier eating something that was slightly out of date. Sure, his care was appreciated, but it did get in the way of genuine fun occasionally. Luckily, Captain Odysseus is here to cure him of his worries, just for the next day or so. Plus, it had been getting annoying.

7. Lee!Odysseus, ler!Aeolus: Upon the top of Aeolus' sky island, Odysseus asks desperately for their aid in passing through a hefty storm. Of course, the mischievous wind spirit is happy to play along, conjuring up a wind bag for the man. Although, Aeolus doesn't really feel like passing down such a gift for *free*, no. To get what he wants, Odysseus needs to earn their favour through a small trial. Unfortunately, that trial just so happens to trick him into revealing a very silly weakness, which Aeolus all but lights up at.

8. Lee!Antinous, ler!Telemarketing: During the 'Little Wolf' fight, Athena grants Telemachus the gift of Quick Thought, so that he has a better chance of winning against Antinous. However, she cannot do much more than that, as he needs to be the one who stands up for himself. Although, with his sped up mindset, Telemachus can't help but try and think outside the box a bit. If Antinous was dead set on violence, then maybe the Prince could find a more surprising way around it, so that his opponent would get caught off guard. Of course, silliness and Antinous' public humiliation ensues.

9. Switch!Zeus, switch!Poseidon: Zeus, being the annoying little brother he is, pesters the hell out of Poseidon for losing against a mortal and getting beaten up. Eventually, the sea god can't take it anymore, lashing out against him. Obviously, they couldn't kill each other, but Poseidon had learnt another way to shut him up through the years. Unfortunately, the thunder god had also caught onto those little tricks.

10. Lees!Eurylochus and Odysseus, lers!Penelope and Ctimene: (either pre-war or an AU where Eury comes home alive) Not much to summarise, just two sisters in law attacking their husbands with tkly affection, may both women have mercy upon their giggly souls <3

11. Lee!Odysseus, ler!Penelope: After 20 long years of being apart, Ody develops major separation anxiety and practically clings to Penelope wherever she goes, or is at least in the same room. One night, our poor King is having difficulty sleeping, waking up every now and then just because he's afraid that his wife will somehow disappear between each short interval. Unable to sleep herself, because of his jolts, Penelope tries an old tactic to make him feel safer.

so perhaps the god of messages and the god of the winds having a tickle fight with the fluffy little buggers (you also wrote the lotus eaters so cute in your fic with lee polites auguguh i gotta make some art for it once im done my mutual requests..)

anyway this is /nf love ya mootie!!

Silly Winions

🎂:Epic the musical

🍫:Winions(ft.Aeolus)

Summary: Hermes and Aeolus have a hangout, and the winions decide a little mischief is in order.

A/N: OF COURSE MOOTIE! Also this idea is totally adorable. And also also, you’re making art for me?!! AHHHHH/pos THANK YOU SO MUCH GRR I DONT DESERVE YOU. Anyway, with all that being said, ENJOY! :3

P.s: I’m not super clear on Aeolus’ gender so I’m using they/them :3

Silly Winions

“Heeyyyy, Aeolus! I’m here~!”

Hermes’ cheerful voice echoed along the walls of the palace as he entered through the large doors.

Today was a hangout day for the two, a time they got together to play games, cause mischief and gossip.

Aeolus floated on her little cloud over to him.

“It’s about time! Took you surprisingly long considering you’re the god of speed.” They teased with a slight laugh, smiling brightly.

“Well, I’ll have you know I’m quite the busy man.” Hermes teased back, suppressing a laugh himself to try and stay in character.

“Of course you are. Anyway, come in, come in! I have so much to talk about!”

“Haha, of course, darling! I have much to talk about as well.” Hermes lowered his voice to a stage whisper. “As a god of messages, I hear a lot of things”

Aeolus laughed and Hermes laughed with them.

“I’m sure you do, Hermes.”

They made their way into the main room, sitting on the couch next to each other.

“So, I have to tell you what happened the other day.”

“Oh? Please, go on.” Hermes put one hand on his face, showing interest.

“So there was this big storm that came through, right? And it was super foggy. And then a giant cloud came right through my island! Me and the Winions couldn’t see anything!”

“Hahahahaha! That sounds like quite the time, darling.”

Another laugh from Aeolus. “That it was. And the cloud pieces got stuck in some of the buildings, so we had to clean it up by hand!”

“hahaha! I can only imagine the hassle that was.”

The two continued to talk and gossip, catching up from what happened since the last time they got together. They laughed and talked together, their merriment echoing along the marble halls of Aeolus’ palace.

The Winions were getting bored. They loved their owner, and uncle Hermes, but often times when they got together, the poor creatures were left out of the fun. That was, until they were brought up in the conversation.

“Oh, the Winions are so mischievous! I love them so much, but they can certainly cause a bit of trouble. I’m so proud.” Aeolus dramatically put their hand to their heart and wiped a fake tear from their eye.

The act got another loud giggle from Hermes.

“Yeah!” The Winions chorused. “We are mischievous!”

Aeolus laughed, petting the Winion closest to them.

“Ohoho, you do not know how often they decide to mess with me.”

“Really now? How so, darling?”

“They loooove to tickle me.” Aeolus responded, getting an agreeing chorus from the creatures.

“Oh? You’re ticklish, are you?”

Aeolus laughed. “Yeah. Just you wait until they decide to have a little tickle fest on you.”

“I ain’t worried about it. I’m sure I can handle whatever the fuzzballs throw at me.” Hermes taunted, challenging them to do it- because, quite honestly, he could use a good tickling right about now.

“Oh really now?” Aeolus teased, smirking as Hermes leaned back and put his arms behind his head. He did it to look cocky, but also as an invitation. Aeolus looked to the Winions. “Winions? Get him.”

The creatures happily did so, flying over to the god and beginning to tickle him. Hermes wore a giddy smile as they flew over, happy that his little plan had worked.

As soon as their little paws touched him, claws wiggling along his exposed stomach and sides, he bursted into gleeful giggles. “Eehahahahaha! Ohoho myhyhy-!”

“Not so tough now, are ya?” Aeolus teased, giggling along with the infectious sound.

Hermes didn’t expect it to tickle quite this much, but he wasn’t complaining. He didn’t even move his arms from behind his head as the small creatures continued to scribble along his skin.

Aeolus knew exactly what Hermes had planned, chuckling as they teased. “You know, if you wanted to be tickled so bad you coulda just asked.”

“Ihihi knohohow! Buhut wheheheres thehe fuhun ihin thahat?” Hermes taunted slightly through his joyful laughter, squirming slightly but never trying to push them away.

Aeolus huffed in amusement. “I guess you have a point.”

The Winions continued their mischievous game, finding every single ticklish spot on Hermes and wiggling their claws into it. Hermes was extremely happy, his wings flapping as a sort of joyful stim as his infectious, bubbly giggles echoed along the walls of the palace.

His laughter increased in pitch when one of the little creatures worked their way into the crevices of his neck, scurrying along the area. Hermes scrunched up on instinct, another fit of bubbly laughter overtaking him.

“Eheheheee! Thahahat tihihickles- ehehehe!”

“Awww, Does it? Does it tickle? Does it tickle tickle tickle~” Aeolus teased, a blush forming on Hermes’ face from fluster, and his giggles growing slightly from the butterflies accompanying the teasing. “Does it feel all tingly? Does it make you all smily and giggly and happy~”

“Ehehehehehe yehehehehes! Ahahahaha-!”

“Well that’s good~”

The Winions continued to poke and scratch and tease at Hermes’ skin, and getting inspired by Aeolus, started to use their voices to tease the messenger.

“Tktktktktk~ hehehe, your giggles are infectious, uncle Hermes!”

“Yeah!” “Yeah!” They all chorused together, eliciting a bright blush and a further symphony of giggles.

His laughter grew even bubblier (somehow), when the Winions started to target his ribs and underarms, getting high-pitched, joyful giggles. “Eeeehahahahahhaha! Ohoho gohohods- ahahaha!”

“Oooo, that a good spot?”

“Yehehehehehes! Ahahahahahaha-! Tihihihickles sohoho muhuhuch! Ihihi lohohove ihit!” Hermes squirmed and giggled happily, not afraid to show just how much fun he was having.

“It’s adorable how much you love being tickled.” Aeolus teased once again with a slight chuckle, making Hermes flush a little from the compliment.

“Whahahat cahan ihi sahahay? Ihits ahah lohotta fuhun!”

“Yay!” “Fun!” The Winions continued to chorus in response, happy to be making Hermes happy.

Hermes truly was having a blast, but he was also starting to get tired, and Aelous could tell.

“Alright, guys, he’s had enough.”

The Winions give a collective, disappointed, “awwww..” but stop anyway.

Hermes smiles lazily, eyes fighting to stay open as his energy had been drained. He moves his arm to gently, sleepily pet the closest winion on the head. “Don’t worry little guys, you can tickle me again some other day.”

The words get another excited murmur from them.

“Alright, let’s get you rested up so you can actually do your job properly when you leave.” Aeolus said, starting to walk towards the guest room, slowing down to allow a very sleepy Hermes to catch up.

He yawns and stretches as he stands. “Sounds like a plan to me.”

They get to the guest room and Hermes lays down wings folded lazily. “G’night…”

“It’s mid afternoon.” Aeolus raises an eyebrow.

“Whatever..” Hermes mumbles before drifting off completely, and Aeolus and the Winions watch over him as he sleeps.

What a successful hang out.
