    That's the last of them fed, and I've the bowls to scrub, and the salves to make, and Himself to coax into eating. So, I'll just get to that, my Lord, if you'll be kind enough to hand me the bowl while you go?

    Summary

    The relationship between Achilles and Patroclus, after a particularly unwelcome turn of events. Achilles himself might be the love of his own life but it is the death of Patroclus that stirs him into a certain realisation and action. The title is taken from William Shakespeare's 'Troilus and Cressida'.
