there wasn't enough fluff in this damn book so i wrote some all characters belong to Madeline Miller and are from The Song of Achilles. I recognise they are not my own characters. cover credit: awanqi on twitter

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.

"Why do you swim so much?" "So I don't drown." In which Patroclus is the fastest swimmer in the state and Achilles is an up-and-coming runner. ((patrochilles modern au, still readable as just boyxboy))

In the days leading to their sixteenth birthdays, Patroclus is determined to rewrite Achilles' poem of life, to add himself into it forever as lovers. "A secret for our own," He whispered as if us lying here in each other's arms was not secret enough. I nodded. My heart felt fluttery in my throat as he pressed another kiss, down further, pressed under my jaw. What a wonderful thing, I found, to be enthralled in a life so much. To be beloved by your beloved. How remarkable it was that we laid here now, beneath the soft thrum of ripening olives, in this moment. How wonderful we found each other in this world. How so I loved Achilles. #1 in tsoa - april 18 , 2022 / sept 10, 2023 #5 in patrochilles - may 13, 2024 #1 in thesongofachilles - november 29, 2022 / may 13, 2023 #18 in achilles - february 15, 2024 a oneshot of fluff for u <3 (also on ao3) cover art belongs to artist if u know them or r them dm me so i can give u credit or take it down!
