"It's hard to love him. And it's hard because I think about him all the time. Patroclus. Patroclus. Patroclus." The love of Achilles and Patroclus told from Achilles' perspective. Starting from their first meeting till their descent. Separate from Madeline Miller's "The Song of Achilles'", though a few scenes that align with the mythology are present.

A rewrite of the fan made sequel by @kuashabirpurush. This story follows Patroclus in the afterlife, searching for his lover Achilles.

"The first was Patroclus. The first was always Patroclus." Achilles. Son of a king and a goddess. Destined to become the Greeks' greatest. But there is something more he craves. A reason to become the greatest, perhaps? Or maybe a reason to live. Eventually, he finds it. And it comes in the form of a scrawny, shy exile named Patroclus. The boy brings light to Achilles' a life. Someone he can be honest with, someone he can love. Peace. But will his pride let him keep it?

"𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆?" Poets speak of warriors and gods, those strong enough to be remembered. But what about the lesser-known? The secret healers? The inferiority? We know The Song Of Achilles, so here is Patroclus. The boy who sacrificed everything just for the people of Greece, who had a heart so pure no one was deserving of it, who saved his love from becoming something he was not - even if it costed him a price. "𝗠𝘆 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽, 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝘁𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗶𝗿. 𝗜 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱, 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆. 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳𝗶𝘀𝗵, 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘆, 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲. 𝗜 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀. 𝙋𝙖𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙨. 𝙋𝙖𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙨." Entire credits go to Madeline Miller, the original writer of The Song Of Achilles which is what this fic is based on. Her story is incredible and you should read her book before this one. #1 on Patroclus - April 8, 2022
