Summary
"I want to make a sound, but my throat can only produce weak, whimpering noises like a beast. Father said I was like my mother, soft yet resolute, but always a disgrace. I have never seen Father look at Mother with loving eyes; he only gazed at her with lust. When Father learned that I was cursed by the gods, he beat me and took my tongue."
"I hate Father so much. But I can’t bring myself to wish he would disappear. I am still his child."
___
Patroclus, with tears streaming down his face, struggled to breathe as he held a pen and began to scribble messy lines. His heavily pregnant belly seemed to draw every gaze.
"Are you okay, my love?" Achilles gently asked from the other end of the line, his heart pounding so heavily it felt like it might fall out of his chest, every movement from the other side making him catch his breath.
___
With soft, feeble, and utterly peculiar humming sounds:
Sleep, my dear child.
For Mother, for Father, for this entire world.
Sleep deeply before nightmares come to steal you away.
Close your innocent eyes.
Open them when you are young and smile every day.

Will I Ever Be More Than I’ve Always Been? by Ihavenolifefr

Summary
Achilles was never supposed to know he was the son of Zeus. And Patroclus was never supposed to matter at all.
They met at a quiet boarding school upstate, two boys with nothing in common except a shared room, at first.
Neither of them knew the truth about who they were… until someone showed up on a field trip and monsters followed. Greek myths started feeling a little too real.
A prophecy about a child of the Big Three hung over their heads, one who could shift the balance of the gods. Zeus was never meant to have Achilles as a son. And yet, there Achilles was.
The prophecy spoke of him.
But fate had plans for Patroclus too.(A Song of Achilles AU heavily inspired by Percy Jackson, told from Patroclus’s point of view!)

Summary
Life was easier when you blurred the edges of your vision, when you didn’t look into the sun. In Achilles’ shimmering eyes, Patroclus could only see his own shattered edges, reflected right back to him.
But as it turned out, Blondie made for an excellent penpal. His humour matched Patroclus’; he really wore his heart on his sleeve, and his passionate personality showed even through text- very endearing; and most of all, he was just as hell-bent as Patroclus on procrastination.
Or: Patroclus meets Achilles in university. Neither gets any work done anymore.

Summary
I’ve been going to this gym for a little more than a year now and have already bulked up considerably, making my body nearly unrecognizable from when I first started out with my training, at least from the chin downwards.
All in all it sounds like I’m having a great time at this gym, doesn’t it? Wrong!
That is, I probably would have a great time there if it wasn’t for him.
I can’t tell you his name because I don’t actually know it. And even if I did, I probably wouldn’t use it. In my mind he’s just ‘Adonis’.Or: Patroclus seems to be haunted by his gym‘s resident heart-throb. Is the fact that the handsome stranger with his band of admirers is always on the machine near his just an annoying coincidence or is there something more to it?
