I had to do this for an English assignment, and I really liked it and thought it would make a good fanfiction! Hope you like it! It's written from Penelope to Odysseus.

My dear Odysseus,

How it seems as though it's been ages since you left your home here in Ithaca! My, it was only five years past, though each day seems like a hundred, and none of them spent without a thought of you. I do hope you are well and safe as well as keeping to your word. Not intending to impose, but might you be returning anytime soon? I truly do miss you, as does Telemachus.

Speaking of our son, I have told him much about you and he thinks the world of you. He imagines you as a hero and can't contain his excitement to hear tales from your current journey. He is becoming very intelligent for a boy of his age, five years as of two months ago. He is also learning to fight, and the cutest ting is when he has make believe battles with his friends!

I do wish you could see him now. You would be a proud father, as I am a proud mother. He has a wonderful height for his age, a bit taller than the others. His eyes are glowing blue orbs, constantly wandering and finding what they may. His blonde hair is the shade of the purest gold! The way the sun illuminates it just warms my heart. His skin is a bit pale, though it's beautiful all the same.

I am having a bit of a conflict at the moment. Many suitors are coming into our home, telling me it's useless to wait for you, and to marry one of them Is that not the most absurd thing you have heard? Quite a ridiculous notion even for I to ponder. I shall tell you this: I, Penelope, Will stay faithful to my husband as long as we are one, and pay attention to none other than that man.

I have a feeling that you are doing the same. I know it may be difficult for you to resist other women, but please, do for me as I do for you. I believe in you, Odysseus. Oh and about these other men. They go to me each day asking for me to be with them. They also bother poor Telemachus as well and I just can't stand it. They came into our home and they are sleeping with the maids as well as taunting Telemachus. Yet they expect me to accept one. Yes, they may be handsome and charming men, yet they have no worth compared to you, my love.

Though, I am not fully alone in this situation. Some other women's husbands are gone and they are bombarded with men. Another reason I hope you return soon, so that you can show them that you are the only man for me. I do wish they would leave, but I don't want to be so impolite. These men, they bring me gifts, flowers, and jewels. I do believe they must be desperate, and you and I know well what for.

Though when they aren't around, there's only one man in my mind. You. Always there, calling out to me, images of you and I together once more. I can often feel very alone sometimes and cry at night, wishing for you and your safe return. Also wishing to be once more in your arms. To hear you whispering your love in my ear. I remember all to well how that sounds, your muscled arms around me, your deep voice in my ear as you brush my hair with your fingers.

Oh, listen to me. I am just wishing to be with you once more, if only for just a minute. You may think I am a fool for being so needy of my husband. Though if I weren't so needy, would I be willing to be so faithful? Some may think I'm a fool, but I just may be, and for a good reason as well.

I have questioned myself on how to get this to you. I shall go to the temple and pray to Athena to bring you this heartfelt letter. I do hope it arrives safely to you, and maybe Athena will help you on your journey.

Oh, Odysseus, please return safely. Please return faithful and healthy and soon. I love you, my darling, more than imaginable. I miss you so very much. Be brave, my love.

Best wishes,

~Penelope~
