Comment on Not Homer's Iliad

  1. MY EMOTIONS HOLY FK-

    Okay okay, I seriously love this fic. Patroclus’ development, the friendships AND the story are just so well written and thought out. I adore how you made this as more of Patroclus’ discovery and journey to self-worth, and the whole war seems to just be the catalyst to that. To him finding new great friends, relationships of all kind, and especially self-worth, as I said. I also like how the dialogue with his dad was done, it makes so much sense for Pat to not trust him right away, because you can’t fix years of neglect by just saying “sorry, I’ll do better from now.”

    I was kinda thinking for a sec Pat would expose Agamemnon and he’d ‘kill’ Pat, but the way it’s done it makes so, so much sense. Honestly, I hope Pat talks to Paris and tells him everything he wanted to back at the parking lot. Agamemnon and Paris are the ones most responsible, so I hope they get what they deserve, and that Hector is left alone. Poor, poor Hector. You can’t shield your brother forever, man. This way he’ll never grow as a person, and I hope you’ll see that.

    And I ADORE Brises, agh. Bromance and the incredibly solid friendship with Briseis>>>>>>>dating Achilles.

    I’m so glad I’m reading this while it’s already ended, because I would NOT be able to wait any longer for the big finale.
