The story of Apollo and Hyacinthus is something any gay Greek geek knows (and if you don't, I suggest looking it up before reading this!), but there is little to nothing known about what happened before Hyacinthus's death. This is how I think it might have went. This is a story of love, hate, and the sheer willpower to keep loving someone despite all the odds. TW: includes cussing, violence, abuse, and homophobia ================≈VERY IMPORTANT≈============ THIS IS A GAY ROMANCE (mlm). I EXPECT NO HATE. NOT ONE LITTLE SMUGGEN! IF YOU DONT LIKE GUYS KISSING GUYS, THEN DONT READ THIS. I mean seriously, if you don't like it, why did you click here? there's literally a picture of 2 boys on the cover, who are obviously in love. come on guys, really? oh, yeah, on that note, the cover is a picture I found on Google, so credit to the person who made it, they did AMAZING!!!! Like, seriously, round of applause to them!!!

After his tragic end, Patroclus awakens on Mount Olympus. Standing before him is Apollo, who reveals the outcome of a divine council: Patroclus has been chosen to become the god of peace, the one destined to bring harmony between mortals and immortals. Patroclus is stunned, but in truth, he can barely grasp the god's words. Since opening his eyes, his thoughts have been consumed by one thing only: Achilles. Where is he? Is he suffering? Will they ever meet again? What will happen in this story? Will Patroclus accept his new fate? And most of all... what destiny awaits Achilles and Patroclus? Well, you'll find out by reading. --- Author's Note This story is written by me, Liz, and it's the official English translation of my original fanfiction in Italian: "Neanche la morte è riuscita a separarci." The original version is available in Italian, and this translation was made with care to preserve the emotions, style, and meaning of the original work. Please forgive any grammar mistakes. English is not my first language, and I'm still learning. I did my best to translate this story.
