    Summary

    “Achilles!” Automedon cried, between pants for air. He pulled the chariot in front of Achilles, blocking his path. Achilles' grip tightened on his sword.

    “Get out of my way,” he growled. “Or I will kill you myself.”

    Automedon visibly shrank.

    “Prince Achilles,” he said, voice trembling. “I-”

    “Well,” Achilles barked. “What is it? You are wasting my time. Do not think I will not-”

    “It’s Patroclus!” he blurted, only realizing after he had said it that he had interrupted his prince. His hands began to tremble as he tightened his hold on the horses’ reigns. He watched the shift of emotion pass over Achilles’ face. Anger, to fear, then back to anger.

    “What of him?” And though his voice was dripping with fury, Automedon could hear the underlying hint of distress within his words.

    “He speaks.”

     

    Or

    In a frantic attempt to soothe the rage of Achilles and keep Troy’s walls from falling, the gods decide to intervene and change fate. However, that does not mean Achilles gets to go unpunished.

    Summary

    ‘How will you tell your father? About the prophecy?” The words were loud in the silence of midnight. For a moment he was still. Then he said, ‘I do not think I will.’
    ‘Never?’
    He shook his head, just the barest shadow. ‘There is nothing he can do. It would only bring him grief.’
    (TSOA, Chapter 16)

    Achilles never told his father about the prophecy. This is a little one-shot about Peleus learning that his beloved son will never return home from Troy.

    Summary

    Reason didn’t explain the tears that had burned at his eyes as he watched the beast tear through the Trojan ranks and saw not Achilles, but himself. Reason didn’t explain the tears that spilt from the beast’s eyes like the crimson that had spilt from his lover’s speared abdomen, the silvery pearls of ocean-water that stained his cheeks with salt that burned like ashes.

    Summary

    What if Patroclus had a little more divine intervention? Would he be able to go against destiny?

    All he had to do was sing a single song dedicated to his Achilles. To attract the attention of someone capable of tipping the scales a little more balanced

    But everything has a price.
