    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

    Something must be burning somewhere, and their father surely is drunk on whiskey in some up-cut bar. But it’s a happy life here.

    Right?

    Or a prequel to 2000ft set in the Fall AU!

    Summary

    “I won’t let her hurt you.” Achilles was whispering, but his words took hold of his mind.

    Patroclus does not know what to say. The line was made; the sides drawn. He had lunged himself into the flames.

    “I would burn for you.” His confession spoke for both, unraveling all. His heart dispersed, like the dawning of a new sun.

     

    With the games being hosted in his homeland, Patroclus holds hope that the morale of Opus will be uplifted despite his father’s declining favor. But throughout the tournament, hidden agendas begin to unravel as secret alliances are made and deception is played. Along with whispers of a rebellion group lurking about, shadows from his past come forth and threaten the future for both him and his home. With his sister’s sudden kidnapping and his newfound companionship with Achilles fueling the political upset, Patroclus finds himself having to step into the role of a leader for the first time.

    His sister was the light of his life, but Achilles was his soul’s twin flame.

    Summary

    They say there’s an old performer, one of those rhapsodists, they used to call them— There’s an old man down by the old fig tree. He’s only armed with a lyre, his partner’s song, and the memories that make him; so forgive him if his prose omits, if ellipses withhold, if the Philomel’s tale is expectedly lamenting. You’ll see he weaves through quite the tale. Go, grant him a liberating audience, and hear the Song of the Nightingale.

    Summary

    Two letters, ten years apart. A boy’s quiet questions and an adult’s fractured answers to them.
    Sometimes flowers bloom in the cracks. They are cracks nevertheless, but the colors make them shine.

    Inspired by DAYAGOLD’s A Rose for all that I do (and the Rose is You)

    Summary

    Just spotted @patmeno at a Stanford t&f meet. I think he’s here to see @achilles05 as he got up and was losing it when Achilles ran his first heat #fyp #fypppppppppp #patroclus #achilles

    The video picks up traction, because Achilles has millions of followers across multiple platforms, and Patroclus is the third most subbed Twitch streamer, and goes viral within half an hour.

    Summary

    Clysonymus thought Patroclus was a test subject; test subjects don't fight back. He thought he was the one in control; test subjects don't deny or bite. But he thought wrong and thought it a little too late.

    These are the rules of observation.

    Or a retelling of Clysonymus's death but from the perspective of Clysonymus.

    Summary

    and yet my mother bore me.

     

    the youngest of the batch, and thus got my goddess grandmother attention, a child who is just like their mother, in every aspect from the hair, the green eyes, and the rich glittering skin.

     

    My mother had not uttered a word in her birthing bed before Aigina entered the room.

     

    “ Patroclus.” she said “ the name shall be known as Patroclus.”.

     

    or

    patroclus is a trans man who faces lots of hardship coping with his gender and his sexuality throughout his whole life.

     

    and the harsh reality of how differently woman and man are treated.

    Summary

    Oh little birdie, on top of a tree, sitting on your branch.
    You soar the skies without any limits.
    Must be nice to be free and not in this prison.
    Take me with you,
    we can fly together.
    Anything would be better
    than being on this palace.

    Summary

    The older members of the Argonauts, a fraternity from Ithaca college, regularly have get togethers where they (and their children) hang out for a day, or sometimes even a weekend fishing trip. Their kids include such wonderful characters as Patroclus, the captain of the school's boxing team and state champion, Achilles, captain of the track team with the fastest record in school history, Ajax, Achilles' cousin and a boxer, and Teucer, Ajax's brother who tried track once and never went back, despite Achilles' protests. And it's usually fine. Sure, Patroclus tenses up a lot when his dad's around, but he's probably just afraid he'll embarrass him. And sure, it's a little odd that Patroclus has bruises even in the off-season, but stranger things have happened. And okay, maybe Patroclus and Achilles can barely stand each other, but it's fine, really. That is until Achilles realizes that he and Patroclus have the same soul mark at their weekend get away and Menoitius absolutely loses his shit.

    Summary

    Patroclus works at his mom's coffee shop after she falls sick and needs to take some time off. She also wants him to get out of the house and do something other than study.

    Philomela's Peony has become Achilles' new favorite hole-in-the-wall and he wants Philomela to adopt him. Even moreso when she finds out who her son is- the boy Achilles has been secretly crushing on since the last Spring Semester.

    It's as good a time as any to shoot his shot, right?

    Summary

    Apocalypses and world in ruins, deceased remains of humans who run the world and eat brains. Just human-made stories whose purpose is to entertain more than half of the world population of 8 billion.

    But that's all it is, fiction and entertainment.

    Not reality, never a reality.

    Well, that's what people back in the day used to say. Now all that is left is the world in debris, ruined cities and flesh-eating monsters you pray to never encounter face to face.

    Summary

    Patroclus had lived his life as if he was a wave in the sea. His existence was a collection of moments where he was made alive through others’ pain. Every instance where he was needed, Patroclus broke through the surface. He sunk to the depths of the water in moments between.

    Or

    The gods give Patroclus a gift that is meant to balance the destruction created by his other half. This changes nothing and everything.

    Summary

    "Why do you smell like this?"

    "What do I smell ?"

    "You smell like honey, cinnamon and figs but also like the forest and the sea."

    He didn't tell me but those smells were his favourite things in the world. Later I would join that list.

    Summary

    Aristos Achaion. Best of Greeks. The fate I was promised the moment I left my mother’s womb, screaming and fighting like the warrior I would become. It’s what she called me, my mother, smothering me in the prophecy of greatness every chance she got, determined to weave my fate into our constellations like those of Perseus and Heracles. Another great hero, I was born to be. Every step I took, every breath from my lungs was destined to be written into the old myths of our people.

    The Song of Achilles, but from Achilles' POV :)
