i cannot even DARE to imagine what Achilles' labor might have been like, is there any art of it?

LMAO I don’t have any art BUT I have written about it:

Just a small snippet from my drafts! Yes the entire experience is just as dramatic as you’d think lol

Do you have any other aus?? I love your modern aus so much 😃

Hi! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my AUs! 🥹❤️

I have SO many AUs for Pat and Achilles so this is going to be a long post lmao

One of my favorites is this nereid/human modern AU that I’ve been daydreaming up for the past four years. In this AU, I like to think of nereids having legs but they’re covered in scales, they have more webbed feet and fingers, webbed ears, sharp teeth, gills, like a human/sea creature mix. So Achilles takes advantage of his mostly human appearance by sitting at the shoreline or lounging around the sand from time to time when no one’s around. Anyways, he meets Patroclus by chance on a small, secluded part of the beach and they fall for each other and of course drama ensues because they’re not supposed to be together and Thetis is NOT having it lmao. This AU has everything, secret romance, small towns, royalty drama, heat/mating cycles, and family fluff down the line. It really is one of my faves that I’ve written for myself!

I’ve also got an actor/model AU that I’ve recently been fixated on too. I love the idea of Pat being an amazing actor so much AND Achilles being a spoiled model. Like they are just the IT couple down every red carpet, the envy of all instagram users. I love the idea of Patroclus getting a golden globe or an Oscar or something and Achilles just being a feral mess in the audience like you all better fucking CLAP for my HUSBAND. He’d definitely get a little teary eyed heartfelt shout out from him too.

And then I have a plain old modern AU with them knowing each other as kids and getting together in college, you know the Standard Patchilles AU (which I love).

I’ve also got some spicy AUs like a sugar baby/sugar daddy AU, OH and a “You work for my dad’s company and we’re hooking up in the supply closet between every meeting” AU which is pretty self explanatory and a little messy lol like Peleus thinks that Achilles is finally taking an interest in running the business since he keeps coming to the office every day but really he’s just banging Patroclus, the new VP whenever they’re not in a meeting and eventually their feelings start to go beyond the office and they start actually seeing each other but have to keep it a secret from Peleus, love love love the messiness of it all!

Then I have a sex worker AU. This one’s also one of my faves where Pat is a pretty well off guy, like he’s already established in his career and has a good life but he’s also pretty lonely. Like even his friends notice it and he definitely feels like something’s missing from his life but he’s not exactly sure if he can do the whole relationship thing at the moment. One day, one of his friends jokingly recommends seeing this one worker who— surprise surprise— is Achilles and Pat ends up falling in love and catching feelings very quickly, like after their second or third session, he just can’t stop thinking about him. But it gets messy bc of the work/client dynamic even though they both have feelings for each other and all that UGH I love it.

So many AUs so little time lmao 😭

im curious how would Pyrrhus fit into your au? love your ocs BTW

Hi! First off, I’m glad you’re enjoying my OCs! 🥹❤️

I’m assuming you’re talking about ‘A Peaceful Life AU’ so please correct me if it’s for my other AU! (which is whole other answer in and of itself lmao).

So Pyrrhus doesn’t exist in this AU since Achilles never went to Skyros BUT I think if Thetis had taken him there (so like an AU of this AU?) she would’ve pushed him to get knocked up probably by some aristocrat to try and keep him out of the war as long as possible like “you can’t wield a weapon in this state so you can’t go even if they do manage to find you here”.

I think Achilles would be heartbroken about having some other man’s child, and would be really bitter about the whole thing in the first few months. When Patroclus finally gets to him, he’s shocked, hurt, frustrated with the entire situation, just a whirlwind of emotions at first, with a similar reaction from the book. But I think he’d come around to the idea of the baby pretty quickly, definitely before Achilles does. And one day he’d tell Achilles that he’d love the baby like his own, that they could run away someplace and raise it together.

Fast forward a few months and Pyrrhus is born and Pat and Achilles are living in a cottage in some nearby remote little village raising him together. Then of course their kids come soon after and grow up all together. With Pyrrhus’ personality, I think he’d have an interesting dynamic with my OCs. I can definitely see him and Max butting heads a lot because they’re both stubborn and Pyrrhus is a bit of a hothead. With Hyacinth I think they’d bicker too, lots of poking fun at each other but I think Pyrrhus is one of those kids that WILL break another kid’s nose for bothering his siblings. And for some reason I think he’d get along with Alexios the most!

This is so different from my AU but I’m ngl just typing all of this out made me want to write a little one shot SO bad so I think I might lol

patroclus, what was/were your first thoughts on achilles?

Patroclus: Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect before we met. Bri went on about how 'popular' he was so I assumed he’d be some stuck-up celebrity… but then when we actually met and got to know each other at the party, I realized he was pretty nice— charming even. And very energetic, he talks with his hands a lot.

[darlingsart]

When did you first meet you bf?

Achilles: To make a long story short, we actually met at a party I threw a few years back. Well- it was more like a party that Odysseus talked me into throwing. I only invited Auto, but then he invited Bri, and Bri brought Patroclus along with her too.

Achilles: If it weren't for them, we probably wouldn't have met. Bri still brags about 'bringing us together'!

Intro Post!

Achilles: Hey there! My name's Achilles, and I sing in a band called Arete— though you probably already know that. My manager says doing something like this is good for building a reputation and interacting with fans so here I am with my wonderful boyfriend, Patroclus, to answer all your questions!
