my dearest darling love,

She was the secret he would never tell. Since childhood, he had a plan for world domination, yet, she stumbled across his path as the unexpected variable that he had never previously considered. She awakened the part of him that he never even realized existed, yet, he never showed her mercy. She was the constant fire, burning to melt the glaciers he built. She was the sinking ship, destroying her own grandeur so she could kiss the sand at the bottom of his stormy seas. She was an angel, content to be condemned to hell as long as he was right beside her.

"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

When River crosses paths with a man who speaks to every hidden hunger inside her, their connection spirals into an all-consuming pull neither of them can resist-but is she Grayson's salvation... or his ruin? *** Everyone in River Avelle's hometown knows about Grayson Maddox-the troubled bad boy who almost killed another student in the middle of the school hallway. Those who look into Grayson's eyes only see pure fury and hatred. They all think he's beyond redemption, even Grayson himself. But not River. As the seemingly perfect good girl, River saw something more in those alluring grey eyes. Something worth holding onto. From the first time their eyes connect, both Grayson and River feel the intense, undeniable attraction between them...but neither of them understand what's pulling them together so fiercely. The closer they get and the more vulnerable they become, River has to wonder: is she saving Grayson from his darkness? Or is she just pulling him further into hers? *** He tips my head toward his with his index finger, keeping my eyes trained on him and driving me crazy with the primal look on his face. His grey eyes look heavy, filled with dark desire, and a shock runs up through my core. Everything around us disappears and all I can sense is him and the hardness pressing between my legs. "What are you doing to me, River?" he whispers, his voice raspy and utterly captivated. His face is lowering and I'm closing my eyes, waiting for soft lips to press against mine. My whole body is on fire as I hold my breath for his touch. *** Cover by @strayin
