Summary
Achilles is taken by the gods. As punishment for all the lives he himself has taken, the greek army must send a sacrifice of importance to release Achilles, otherwise they will not be able to leave Troy.
The gods have decided the war is done, the only way to change anything is to sacrifice someone so Achilles is returned and the Greeks will not leave with loss, but in a draw with Troy.
If only Achilles knew what exactly the gods were asking for.

Summary
Reader, I have taken liberties.
In other words, a "so high school" inspired Iliad/Odyssey modern au. I attempted, at least, to bring in all of the stories of the Iliad/related works. I will put in notes what inspired each chapter once we get into the actual plot. These are all interpretations, of course, but there are in fact, sources.
Updates are fridays

Summary
In the original story, Luke Castellan was the true hero.
But this is not the original story.
It was too late, and the Son of Hermes had given in, resigned to his fate like a marionette on a string, content to let his master control every fiber of his being.
The scent of ozone and ash filled Percy's chest (And oh how the Son of Poseidon mourned)

Summary
Achilles has always been Earth’s strongest hero. Fearless, unstoppable, a legend.
And Patroclus? He’s right beside him now after becoming his own hero since getting bit by a radioactive spider.
However, the stakes are higher than ever before: a royal figure has been kidnapped, a global threat is rising fast, and the world’s most powerful heroes are starting to split down the middle.
Lines will be drawn. Loyalties will be tested. And things have definitely amped up from just protecting New York.
( Or… think of if Marvel & the Trojan war had a baby, that would be this fic! BTW this is a sequel to “Always an Angel, Never a God.” )

Summary
In a world obsessed with violence and spectacle, twenty four tributes are chosen for the 78th Annual Hunger Games. Among them are Achilles, the golden boy of District 4, and Patroclus, the quiet healer with a gentle heart.
Bound by something deeper than friendship and more dangerous than love, Achilles and Patroclus must navigate the crumbling world around them, all while the Capitol watches and waits for them to fall. As tides rise and blood is spilled, the line between survival and sacrifice blurs.
But love has never been safe. Not in myth, not in war, and certainly not in the Hunger Games.
“Hold fast to me, before the world breaks us apart.”

Summary
From their childhood in Phthia in the 90’s, and later in Pelion, to their lives as lawyers in Troy, the city of gangs and corruption, Achilles and Patroclus navigate their relationship in a world mixing romance, thriller and comedy with the help of Briseis, Automedon, Paris and Helen (who are a more iconic duo than a twink and a redhead).
This is the second version—revised and augmented—of my first fic.
“Patroclus? Do you understand?” Do you understand. The cruelty of adults. They usually asked questions like this as if they expected only a simple and reluctant nod of obedience. But the worried voice and the pity in the eyes of the social worker in front of Patroclus made him think there was more to it this time. And the truth was, he did not understand. [...] Out of habit, he nodded. Whether he meant it or not had never mattered before. The social worker stood up, gave him a sad smile and ruffled his hair, as if to scatter his thoughts, and left, leaving him alone in the colorful yet dull room of the social center. A hair ruffle for a gone mother.

Summary
En el mundo actual, Aquiles canta como si el escenario ardiera bajos sus pies. Troyless es su banda y su vida. Patroclo escribe la mayor parte de las letras aunque casi nunca está seguro de su talento. La banda es el hogar de ambos y una fuerza que los atrae. Aunque la gloria siempre tiene un precio.
Troyless, como banda es ascenso, amenaza con devorar todo a su paso: la industria, las listas de popularidad y las cicatrices que cada uno trata de esconder.

Las letras se entrelazan, pero el pasado entre ellos, lo dicho y lo imposible tiembla cada vez que suben al escenario. En un mundo donde los fans quieren saberlo y tenerlo todo de ellos, la prensa busca el menor error para acabarlos, Troyless tendrá que elegir entre el amor y la gloria eterna.- Language:

Summary
Every morning, someone leaves a pair of flowers on his desk, never once missing a day.
It's a nice gesture, and brings him a bit of happiness in the dark he finds himself in. And yet...
Not knowing who is doing it for him seems to be causing a new darkness, a new fear to take place of the old darkness of his life.

Summary
Achilles looked at him silently. He had an expression on his face that Patroclus could not quite place. It was a mixture of torment and muted searching, like he trying to solve the puzzle of the plain features of Patroclus’ face.
“No,” Achilles said in a solid voice. “My Patroclus is still here. I can see him, inside of you. I was wrong when I said you were dead to me, I can sense that his soul still lingers in this body,” Achilles gaze turned dangerous, his pupils thin, and Patroclus felt a shiver of something running down his spine. “I know you are there, Patroclus. I am determined to bring you back.”
Or, the one where college student Patroclus travels back in time, falls in love and changes the course of history forever

Summary
We don’t even ask for happiness, just a little less pain
~ Charles Bukowski•
Somehow Achilles and Patroclus survive the scarring and meaningless war at Troy, but the life they will lead after may turn out to be just as difficult as those ten treacherous years. Finding the happiness they both have longed for for countless years may never happen, but as long as they ease their pains together, everything will be okay.
Right?
