a lesson in love by liionne [3,207]
âYou have to go.â Achilles says, and his hands are on Patroclusâ chest, but they arenât pushing. No- heâs doing a lot of things, but heâs not pushing. Heâs memorising the feeling of smooth skin beneath his hands, and heâs counting the pulse that thuds beneath the right, committing that to memory too. Heâs feeling the rise and fall of his best friendâs chest - best friend, boyfriend, lover, whatever; they all feel like synonyms now - and heâs meeting those dark brown eyes with his own. âIf my mother catches you here sheâll kill you.â
âI know.â Patroclus murmurs, but he makes no move to go.
your name like a song by sarahyyy [1,108]
âPatroclus,â he sighs again into the dark, and means I wish I could, means I wish I dared, means I wish you wanted me too.
(History Is) A Pattern Of Timeless Moments by Brenda [3,180]
Achilles knew his truest triumphs would never be strung together in verse to be sung at campfires, knew that no poet or aoidos would ever know his greatest success. No, these conquests â the huff of Patroclusâ laughter against his throat, the sharp, sea-salt taste of Patroclusâ skin after a swim, the way Patroclusâ eyelids fluttered after every kiss â those were Achillesâ alone to cherish.
Four times Achilles and Patroclus were truly happy.
at least as deep as the pacific ocean by ninjee [5,166]
Itâs not that Patroclus somehow has not noticed that his new favorite coffee shop seemed to only hire possible models, but, well. Thereâs a thin line between noticing and admiring a personâs looks and being fucking creepy about it.
When Romeâs In Ruins (We Are The Lions) by metwithdarkness [6,596]
So far, Patroclus has learned the following about Achilles:- He doesnât get along with either of his parents, but- he lives with his dad when heâs not at school, and- his dad pays for college and - the frat house he lives in was named by his dad- (but really, does Achilles want to follow in his dadâs footsteps?)- (honestly, heâs not sure he does, but)- (what would he do instead?)Patroclus suggests being a male model and Achilles laughs so hard he snorts soda out of his nose. Itâs humanizing, which is both awesome â after their runs, Patroclus was half-convinced Achilles was secretly a god â and terrible â god, if heâs human, heâs touchable, now isnât he?
tell me again by jellybabiestomanual [907]
âHow does that work? Achilles is so far out of his league and he canât even see it.â
âI donât get it. It must suck to date a blind kid, and Patâs not even hot.â
Theyâd probably thought they were being quiet, but Patroclus is, after all, blind. His hearing compensates.
youâll find me in the next life, if not this one by iwillbeyourgoal [3,547]
patroclus and achilles keep bumping into each other in their reincarnations.
âŚas the poets say by Palebluedot [607]
âDo you know the story of how people came to look as they do now?â
Patroclus shakes his head. âWill you tell it?â
