Summary
What if Patroclus hadn't died?
Someone was calling his name. Not that mess of syllables rushed over the tongue. But that steady pronunciation, almost as carefully said as a prayer or a mantra.
Pa-tro-clus!
His eyes were closed by stone eyelids. A low sound reached his ears. He tried to take a full breath and that low sound rang again. It was his own throat rumbling with a groan. The groan was cut off by a half-gasp, almost whimper as something brushed his stomach. Right where Hector’s spear lodged into his flesh. He was dead, maybe dying.
“Patroclus!” Said like a prayer and a plea.
If he was dying, why did his eyes flicker to that sound. That oddly familiar sound.
“Patroclus! Please come back to me. Please!” That voice. Achilles. -

Summary
Aquiles seems to be perfect. A dedicated professional, a source of pride for his parents.
But in his apartment, his true self comes to light: an ordinary guy with simple tastes, a dubious stock of fanfics and a thing for dark-haired guys.
Aquiles has always kept his true self separate from the persona he displays at work. But then, this new guy shows up at work who makes him want to lie down on a table like in one of those dubious romantic comedies.

Summary
Achilles did hear them; they were wandering helplessly, souls who weren’t provided a proper burial. Achilles saw his own. He vaguely remembers the smell of nectar and rose oil, the delicacy of flowers on his head, the weeps of hundreds. It was as proper as it could be, but not proper enough; he had been waiting here for so long.
“Come back when your boat carries him,” he said to the Ferryman. His fist curled around the drachma tightly. “I will be here.”
in which while Achilles waits for Patroclus in the Underworld, and someone pays him a visit.

Summary
Achilles is the bastard son of a wealthy landowning farming family in rural Australia. Quick witted, savage and charming, Achilles has the world at his feet and half a mind to burn it down.
At twelve, a distant country cousin comes to stay with him - kind, patient Patroclus. Privately tutored together for years, an attraction sparks, but the more Achilles presses Patroclus to admit his feelings, the more he wriggles out of it. Achilles tells himself it's fine; he doesn't mind watching Patroclus squirm.
