    Summary

    Aziraphale grasped for something to say and settled rather lamely on “Ah, yes… yes, you do seem to be missing your armour.” For all his tenderness, for all his love, in the end even the best angel in all of Heaven was powerless in the face of such grief as this, hanging immobile in the heavy air. He turned, then, to stare helplessly at Crawly, who for his part could only shrug. Aziraphale huffed quietly. Fiend, he mouthed.

    Summary

    Achilles angled his head away. “I guess it wouldn’t matter. Soulmates are stupid, anyway.”

    The ghost of a smile played on Patroclus’s lips. “So, what are you saying? Screw soulmates? You can’t just do that, Achilles. You can’t just go and say, ‘fuck fate.’”

    “Yeah,” Achilles said after a long moment of silence. “Fuck fate.”

    And then he wrapped his arm around Patroclus’s neck and kissed him.

    Everyone is born with a clock on their wrist that counts down until the second they meet their soulmate. Achilles — who Patroclus has known since the second they were born — and Patroclus's clocks have always been at zero. Patroclus always assumed this meant they didn't have soulmates, until a kiss proves otherwise.

    or, Achilles and Patroclus are a pair of idiots. But they figure it out, eventually.

    Summary

    There is a tradition in Pithia - every two years, a festival is held where young omegas are sent into the forest and the alphas follow soon after. To be mated during this sacred festival is considered good luck and the couple would be blessed with good fortune.

    Achilles never cared about the festival that much.

    That was until Patroclus presented as an omega.

    College au for the Iliad, what more is there to say? Everyone is chaotic and they’re all idiots and it’s a good time. And also a bad time eventually when the angst gets involved. Hooray isn’t this fun!

    Summary

    Heroes have the ability to rise above and become stars, or fall off their horses in their quest for endless recognition.
    Achilles had always found these stories repetitive.

    -

    This is an Iliad fic first. Some aspects of TSOA are too good not to use (it's also just an objectively pretty book) even if I personally don't like some character portrayals (*cough* thetis & deidamia *cough*).

    (This is a WIP, I may go back and update/edit chapters even after I post them. Tags will be added when I remember)

    Summary

    [Dog:] Odysseus…. Don’t you dare

    [Sealyoulater:] woah, what?

    [#wifeguy:] oh??? >:3c

    [#wifeguy:] too late

    #wifeguy has added TheFavorite to FuckYou

    [TheFavorite:] According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

    Summary

    To join the higher pantheon of gods, Athena must find a champion to make her name known amongst men. Someone she can shape in her own image, who relies on mental acuity over strength – a warrior of the mind. She chooses Odysseus.

    But can a mere man live up to her expectations?

    The first two sagas (Troy & Cyclops) of EPIC: The Musical, from Athena's perspective.

    AKA: Athena is a butt and we love her anyway, and she tortures Odysseus.

    Summary

    War has raged outside the walls of Troy for the past seven years. Safe inside the royal palace, Briseis, a spirited young Trojan princess, sits back as her famous cousins, Hector and Paris, fight against the Greeks, who encroach upon Troy's borders more each day.
    An ill-advised trip outside the safety of the palace leads to Briseis being captured and held hostage by the Greeks. She's put in the custody of Prince Achilles of Thessaly, a moody and impulsive young man who just happens to be the Greeks' greatest warrior. Achilles is destined to win glory and immortality but live a short and tragic life.
    Briseis is given in an arranged marriage to Achilles and the two find that their union might be based on more than just politics. But when Achilles comes into conflict with the greedy and powerful, King Agamemnon, it sets off a cycle of violence and tragedy that threatens all they both care about.

    Summary

    Patroclus probably also should've expected the night of his eighteenth birthday — when Achilles presses him up against the wall of his bedroom and peppers kisses down his throat.

    "Achilles," Patroclus says, breathlessly. He pushes against his chest, but there's no force behind it. "Achilles, we shouldn't."

    or, some misunderstandings happen.

    Summary

    (Part of a series inspired by Lorde's album Melodrama.)

     

    Achilles was attached to his seat, appalled. He wanted to stand and scream at them until they were silent, until they treated the story with the gravity it deserved.

    “They mock us,” he said indignantly. “They mock our pain. They watched your life come to an end and they’re cheering.”

    -

    Or, Achilles has a dream where he watches The Iliad.

    Summary

    The sole harpist in the university's music department gets expelled, leaving Patroclus' group missing a vital member for their final recital that will launch their careers. There is only one other person Patroclus knows who can play the harp. Unfortunately, said person is Achilles—the star swimmer of the university and beyond, who has a publicly unknown talent on the harp, and a largely unknown history with Patroclus.
