Summary
Once, there was a golden hero, blessed by the gods, destined to be remembered for millennia to come. At the hero’s side was another, as close as a shadow and just as impossible to separate. In the end, despite the hero’s promises, neither got the ending they wished for.
This is not that story.
When Achilles vanishes the day after he and Patroclus return to Phthia, Patroclus searches for him desperately, only to learn from Peleus that Achilles has been taken by his mother to the caves beneath the sea, and Patroclus is expected to lead the Myrmidons to Troy in his place. But a strange meeting with a traveller lurking in the shadows of the palace endows Patroclus with the blessing of Hestia, in the form of an ember that has been waiting for a proper bearer for centuries. With the gifts newly given to him, can Patroclus manage to defy Fate itself to find Achilles, survive Troy, avoid the ire of the proud and dangerous Greek kings, and put an end to the cycle of tragedy that has plagued heroes for as long as they have existed?

Summary
“Patroclus, look at me.” The king commanded, and I would be a fool not to obey. I tilted my chin to gaze up at him, the picture of a weak and humble servant. It would have been convincing if we were not both aware of the boy I killed, and the boy I had beaten. Accident or not, reputation persevered. “There are rumours that on the northern coast of Boeotia, a boy was born with golden eyes.”
*****
A rewrite of the Song of Achilles, in which Patroclus is a demigod.

Summary
Patroclus sat up off the table, his face sketched in complete seriousness, “A king of Phthia, whose son was a prince of Phthia that left for a war he didn’t need to fight in, who then died in said war all for the promise of glory and being remembered as a hero? Yeah, I could hazard a guess.”
“That’s great!” Zagreus celebrated, “so, you think we could find him in Elysium?”
“Oh, I don’t think it’s gonna take that much searching,” Patroclus said, scratching his beard, “say stranger, which way did you say you found the shade?”
~~~
Zagreus finds a new shade in Elysium. He doesn’t recognize him, but thankfully, Patroclus does.
OR: what if Peleus was in Hades?
