little! zagreus x CG! patrochilles (NOT A SHIP)
zagreus was visiting Elysium, sitting on the grassy floor messing with a stuffed animal of Cerberus. Patroclus and Achilles were sitting close by to the little one this being achilles' second chance to care for a 'child'. When Zag was playing a little too rough with his toy he ripped a paw off, Patroclus caught it and could comfort him. "stranger-" achilles always corrected him when he called Zagreus a stranger. "right, kiddo. come here give me the toy I'll fix it" Zag nodded and handed his toy over to Patroclus attempting to find a needle and string. achilles patted his lap signaling for the boy to sit on his lap "Come here little lad it is all right, I um... wish to comfort you" Zag came close crying a bit that his toy was torn. Achilles cuddled him into his chest and shushed him. patroclus spoke up "Dear please lean your head a bit further" achilles did so and got a single hair pulled off "I am sorry but i do not have a thread so i am using yours and my hair to sew it up." achilles didn't complain just kept holding zag "that's my brave boy it is okay no need to cry" he kissed his temple a few times. when Patroclus was fully done he handed the stuffed animal back and patted him on the head "Here little guy" he smiled at Zag and squeezed his hand. zag's eyes lit up and he hugged the toy to his face giving achilles the perfect excuse to start tickling the boy's sides. the day ended with laughing and being close.
oh my god do write the patchilles + tiny zag (if you want to)!!!! its such a good concept i wish there was more of it
im planing to later on today! ^^ I'm so excited because i think its so cute!
thinking about this comment about patrochilles in hades game and now cant stop thinking of little zagreus and cg parents patroclus and achilles i wanna write that rn but idk
Every gay blond and brunet ship is Patroclus and Achilles reincarnated. No I will not elaborate.
I can’t reblog this fast enough. My tears are getting in my way.
imagine if the song of achilles was just a written narration of patroclus recounting all of his memories to thetis, as seen in the last few pages where they were talking,, that’s why everything was written in past tense rather than present. patroclus is made of memories because that’s all he ever will be if not permitted to join achilles in death and we are literally witnesses to his life, just as thetis was prior to her honouring of patroclus’ soul
I am crying
the amount of times i’ve listened to this and cried is embarrassing 😎🕺🏻

More The Song of Achilles fanart because I have sold my soul to this book. A little angst for y’all too.
I forgot to sign this one. Please give me credit.
It’s like looking at a rainbow, then you look at the right side of the post and you are blinded by a million rainbows.
this is all i have to say
If I ask my future partner “You’re like the Achilles to my Patroclus” and they say “weren’t they just friends?” I will leave them on the spot.

✧ all the stars - kendrick&sza ✧
"I thought of how many nights I had lain awake in this room, loving him in silence."
all the stars are closer i.e. achilles sleeping beside patroclus as the latter lay awake, yearning.
"We were like gods at the dawning of the world, and our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other."
the youthful notion that nothing would happen to them, when in fact they were running out of time. the way they were hauntingly obsessed with each other.
"....they never let you be happy and famous."
corrupt a man's heart with a gift i.e. achilles having enough strength to succumb to pride.
"If you have to go, you know I will go with you."
the fact that both achilles and patroclus didn't care about winning or losing at the end — they simply wanted each other.
"I wish he had let you all die."
"There are no bargains between lions and men. I will kill you and eat you raw."
the way achilles was always uncaring of others, uncaring of their views, their attitudes, aware of their lies, aware of their schemes, yet the only thing that mattered was patroclus.
"I would recognize you in total darkness, were you mute and I deaf. I would recognize you in another lifetime entirely, in different bodies, in different times. And I would love you in all of this, until the very last star in the sky burnt out into oblivion."
"I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.”
"I am made of memories."
"Go," she says. "He waits for you."
In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.
enough said.
Out of curiosity...
Just finished reading the Symposium, in which a guy named Phaedrus claims that Aeschylus is ridiculous for believing that Achilles is the lover and Patroclus the beloved. (i.e. that Achilles tops.)
Phaedrus argues that Patroclus was the lover (the top) and Achilles the beloved (the bottom), as Patroclus was older and Achilles more beautiful.
seriously, the only consistent exceptions I have seen on this website are odypen, percabeth, and frazel, and getting rid of those would like trying to make patrochilles, solangelo, cherik, wolfstar, or johnlock platonic. it would just be wrong.
and as a straight cis classics major who just finished the iliad for the 100th time? yeah, there is no platonic explanation, those two are a love story to last for millennia and a tragedy to tear your heart just as long.
"Not every ship has to be gay!"
Girl you're using TUMBLR. THE gayland. What did you expect?
do you call it 'soulmate' or 'I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.'

it's just me and my gay fanfics against the world
This is basically Patroclus when he comes across a fish man.
What's with Patroclus really liking fish people
