Like this:

Odysseus watching Achilles absolutely mutilate Hector's corpse

It's Always "I Love You", And Never,

"THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN YOUR FACE, DRAW BACK IN FEAR I'M THE MASK YOU WEAR IT'S ME THEY HEAR"

“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*

[lenaleviosa]

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.
