This morning he had leaped on to my bed and pressed his nose against mine. ‘Good morning,’ he said. I remember the heat of him against my skin.

Achilles and Patroclus from The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller! This was the second artwork I created for @//obsidianmooncrate ‘s September box and it was just so nice to draw these boys in such a happy moment. 😭

尋尋覓覓，冷冷清清，悽悽慘慘戚戚。乍暖還寒時候，最難將息。三杯兩盞淡酒，怎敵他、晚來風急？雁過也，正傷心，卻是舊時相識。

滿地黃花堆積。憔悴損，如今有誰堪摘？守着窗兒，獨自怎生得黑？梧桐更兼細雨，到黃昏、點點滴滴。這次第，怎一個愁字了得！

-- 李清照 《聲聲慢•尋尋覓覓》

Seek and search. Coldness and nothing else. Wretched, miserable and grief-stricken. I don't have the patience for spring, when it seems to be warm but it's not. With only two, three cups of light wine in, how can I stand the windy night? The swan goose flies by as I am in sorrow. Turns out it's an acquaintance from the past.

Yellow blossoms gather on the ground. Who would pick the withered flowers? I sit by the window - how could I survive the night by myself? Drizzle falls upon the Chinese parasol tree, drip, drip, drip in the dusk. How could the word "sadness" conclude this view?

-- Every Sound is Slow (a lyrical poem) by Lee Tsing Chiu (Li Qingzhao)

“Achilles' eyes were bright in the firelight, his face drawn sharply by the flickering shadows. I would know it in dark or disguise, I told myself. I would know it even in madness.”

FICTIONNET’S SECRET SANTA EVENT: merry christmas, rey @icaruspdf!

later, we lay on the riverbank, learning the lines of each other’s bodies anew. this, and this and this. we were like gods at the dawning of the world, and our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other.

“I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.” - The Song Of Achilles
