Patrochilles AU Patroclus and Achilles were best friends as children, but when they got to high school they drifted apart. Achilles made lots of new friends, while Patroclus is the loner, with Greek foreign exchange student Briseis as his only friend. Now Achilles needs his help, but, afraid of getting hurt again, Patroclus is reluctant to let him back into his life.

My epilogue based on Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller.

" my patroclus. " First grade, that's when it all started. When the boy with the ridiculous name and messy, blond hair ran into another boy with a ridiculous name and tanned, ebony skin. They grew jointed at the hip, one was only seen with the other. Achilles loved running, he loved telling everyone about his day; Patroclus loved the way the stars looked at night, he loved laughing at Achilles' jokes. And both of them eventually grew into teenagers who learned how to lose and how to smile brighter than the sun. Achilles has kissed far too many people and Patroclus has learned about each and every one of them. Patroclus lays in his bed, talking about the future, and Achilles listens to every word. And one day, Achilles learns that he only needs to kiss one person. One day, Patroclus knows something certain about his future. / / a work based off of the iliad's achilles & patroclus, but no knowledge about any of the characters or plot is needed to read and/or understand it / /

[This is a rewrite of my other story, also named Down up and around.] Patroclus is dead, and this he knows for a fact. So he is rather surprised when he wakes up to find himself in a world two thousand years in the future, in a camp for demigod kids. Little does he know his true love follows soon behind. When the oracle delivers a prophecy, ordering a quest, how will the old work with the new, and how can Patroclus and Achilles go back to where they belong, in the underworld?
