    Summary

    Achilles turns back to Patroclus. “So. Not too bad, right? We can keep this up for tomorrow?”

    Can Patroclus keep this up? Yes. What will it cost? His sanity, dignity, and potentially a few years off his life.

    He grins. “Yeah. We make a pretty handsome couple.”

    ~~~

    When Achilles asks Patroclus to be his date for his rich, eccentric great-uncle’s seventh wedding, Patroclus can see the rationale––they’re best friends, and they’ve been inseparable for years. It's intended as a small favor.

    There’s one catch, though: It’s all fake. But Patroclus is actually in love with Achilles, and this very well may kill him.

    A Californian, fake-dating, modern high school AU in which Patroclus deals with Achilles’s crazy family and barely survives his not-so-unrequited feelings.

    Summary

    After Patroclus’ death, Achilles begs for the chance to change the past. His wish is granted, but he finds himself trapped repeating the same day over and over as he tries and fails to save his beloved.

    Character death but I swear this is a fix-it fic with a happy ending.
