    Summary

    “I fixed your problem!”

    “My problem?”

    Pyrrhus pointed towards a tree Achilles hadn’t noticed before. The trees leaves were all on the floor framing a man.

    And what a man it was.

     


    Or,
    Pyrrhus is a little shit who is trying to set up his Dad with a stranger at a park

    Summary

    "It is not that he hasn’t heard poetry before — he’s listened to orators, heard tales woven by storytellers who entertain the masses at gatherings — but poetry is a lifeless thing until he hears it from Achilles. Suddenly it is no longer just words but a thing that breathes, gasps, sucking the air out of their shared room. Patroclus is helpless to do anything but feed it with a heaving chest."

    Achilles introduces Patroclus to poetry over their years together.

    Summary

    Meet the neck slice: the missing piece of Humphrey, also known as Slicey. He's a tiny slither of meat with a lot of personality.

    (The idea that as Humphrey was beheaded with two blades, there may well be a ghostly third piece of him floating around somewhere...)

    “You look great, philtatos,” Achilles tells him as he turns off the ignition.

    Patroclus only frowns at his own reflection, tugging at his hair. “I would if my hair would coopererate. It’s this stupid part right here,” he says, pointing at that one strand that never lies flat. “I’ve put so much gel in it that I’m surprised it hasn’t fallen out yet, and it’s still sticking up.”

    Achilles smiles. “It’s cute.”

    “Your mom won’t think it’s cute. Just watch, she’s going to think I just rolled out of bed.”

    “No she won’t,” - he hopes.

    Summary

    Thetis knows her son has the power to burn the world. And without the gentle hands of Patroclus, he can finally ignite into what he was always meant to be.

    And yet, as she watches her son’s life collapse before her eyes, she realises what the prophecy really meant.

    It is not the death of Hector that kills Achilles, it is the death of Patroclus.

     

    Or, Thetis puts aside her hatred of Patroclus for a second to stop him from dying. Patrochilles get the happy ending they deserve.

    It’s not that Patroclus somehow has not noticed that his new favorite coffee shop seemed to only hire possible models, but, well. There’s a thin line between noticing and admiring a person’s looks and being creepy about it.

    I counted the people who came to his grave- our grave, I counted the people who refused his last wishes. I counted my memories to Thetis in the dark, sobbing if my immortal ghost would ever let me.

    And then I counted the pieces of my shattered heart, mingling amongst the ashes of his.

    Summary

    “If you or I were a woman,” he continues, tilting his head the other way as he adjusts his grip on the pencil, “We’d be married by now.”

    The Captain’s body doesn’t react. He remains in his chair, rod-straight back, paperwork set out in neat, soldierly rows, pen in hand, ink dripping leisurely onto the table.

    The Captain’s mind splits down the middle with a deafening crack, paints itself red, ignites like a bonfire, throws itself off a cliff, dissolves into ash, jumps in front of a hurtling locomotive, steps off a fighter jet without a parachute and does a million other things besides.
