Five Fic Friday

Another random list of fics I think you guys should be reading:

Sober by Crimsonfox141 | E | 12.8k |

There was a part of his brain, completely overridden by the alcohol in his system, that didn't want it to happen this way. Of all the fantasies he'd had about Patroclus, none had involved drunken groping at a house party.

to the breath of my lungs, beneath the stars by AdelineAround | E | 5.7k |

Patroclus has a breeding kink, there is no doubt about it. It is only when he and Achilles are reunited in the afterlife, within Elysium, that he finally acts on it.

Patroclus the Rider by BCB | E | 1.2k |

Patroclus rides Achilles and dominates him due to Achilles whining. That's basically it.

Love, and How the Heart Grows Ever With Age by Cavalierious | E | 2.3k |

Patroclus and Achilles are just old dudes in love. Written for Let Them Lay Together, a Patrochilles Zine.

I Hoped That You Would Come by @ferrisulichsdayoff | M | 30.8k |

After his death, Achilles finds himself in the underworld. Prepared to face his judgement and eternity, he marches into hell, only to learn that Patroclus never arrived. He sets up vigil outside the gates, and waits.

Fics are listed in no particular order. Want more? Check out some Pyrrha themed fic recs. Also check out some Spicy patrochilles fic recs.

Left is MY FIC, right is the ACTUAL BOOK QUOTE IT WAS INSPIRED BY

(Mask context: masquerade ball / cinderella au)

It has been doing numbers EVERYWHERE and I only found out from this lovely person who commented on Ao3:

So yeah I guess if anyone wants to read an 8 year old Song of Achilles fanfic written in a fever dream after watching Into The Woods, be my guest

Odysseus watching Achilles absolutely mutilate Hector's corpse

[inkeyjay]

“And perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone. [...] When he died, all things soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with him.”  🩸

“In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.” 🌻

Two souls, reunited.

(quotes from Madelline Miller's The Song Of Achilles)

[meditando-en-paris]

Odysseus: Do it or you're straight.

Achilles: *Loud gasp*

It’s the middle of the night. Chiron should probably get some sleep. Looking out of his window he sees two boys, they’re stargazing. Achilles! He thinks. Patroclus!

It’s only then that he realises that Patroclus’ skin is way too white and as glorious as Achilles was, he definitely didn’t light up like a glow stick in the night. It’s not them. It’s just Nico and Will.

It’s been over 2000 years, they’re dead, Chiron, they’re dead.

Most straight relationships in media: “Even though there's no development and no chemistry and we don't look like we love each other that much we'll date because we're straight and that's what we're supposed to do. Right??”

Most queer relationships in media: “If saving you is a sin, I'll gladly become a sinner.” — “Dying together also included a ‘together’.” — “You changed my destiny from the moment we touched.” — “I would know him in death, at the end of the world.” — “The hero and the warrior were like the sun and the moon...”
