Summary

Character death but I swear this is a fix-it fic with a happy ending.

Summary
“He has no match in battle,” Apollo said seriously, black eyes burning through Patroclus with their knowledge of deeper things than Patroclus could ever know. “So I shall give him a match.”
In an alternate telling, Patroclus is a farmboy drafted into the side of Troy and barely managing to survive from battle to battle, and Achilles is the best of the Greeks. After interference by the God Apollo, Patroclus becomes the Trojans' best hope and Achilles' greatest labor. Canon Divergent AU *COMPLETE*

Summary
Thetis knows her son has the power to burn the world. And without the gentle hands of Patroclus, he can finally ignite into what he was always meant to be.
And yet, as she watches her son’s life collapse before her eyes, she realises what the prophecy really meant.
It is not the death of Hector that kills Achilles, it is the death of Patroclus.
Or, Thetis puts aside her hatred of Patroclus for a second to stop him from dying. Patrochilles get the happy ending they deserve.

Summary
After his death, Achilles finds himself in the underworld. Prepared to face his judgement and eternity, he marches into hell, only to learn that Patroclus never arrived. He sets up vigil outside the gates, and waits.
~/~
'Where is he?’ he demanded, his voice breaking against the colossal thrones like a wooden spear against the walls of Troy. The crowd stirred over his shoulder, whispers amongst ghosts, but Achilles paid them no mind.
‘And who do you speak of?’ asked Minos, the barbs of his lashing tongue catching Achilles’s skin, tearing what little remained unmarked. He turned his attention to the last of the judges, and spoke solely to Rhadamanthus.
‘Patroclus.’

Summary
The watching crowd parted, and the two men within turned to face Shamhat. She swore silently. Not just ‘big’ visitors—the biggest. She barely kept herself from bowing to Gilgamesh. As a temple’s head priestess, even here in Uruk’s most distant village with more hunters and herders than farmers, she was his equal in honor.
But she did approach the king for the second time in her life. “In the name of Morning Inanna, welcome.”

“Teach me,” Enkidu said simply, smiling slightly when Gilgamesh turned his head to look at him. “I would learn you.”
“You mean you would learn from me,” Gilgamesh corrected with a smile.
"That too,” Enkidu said, rising up and turning onto his side.

Summary
The Z-Team didn’t like Robert.
They were villains. They were fuck ups. They each had a giant chip on their shoulders that barely let them stand next to each other on a good day. As soon as his voice first came on the group call, they had to give him shit. If they didn’t start harassing him, the Blonde Boss Lady would have benched them thinking they were being mind controlled.
Every handler thought they could “handle” the Phoenix team. Tame them, make them palatable, water them down. Turn them good. So they didn’t like Robert.
But they did like his voice.

Summary
Robert slumps into his chair, headset half-on, the SDN bullpen still humming with the last dregs of the night shift. The coffee tastes like battery acid, but it’s the only thing keeping his eyes open.
Then the comm crackles.
“Hello, Robert.”
Phenomaman’s voice, flat as a gravestone.
“I would like to learn about intercourse from a human person.”
Robert chokes on his coffee. Why is this his life?

Summary
“...Victor.” he declares then, gesturing towards himself with a breathless, delirious smile. “Victor…” he says one more time, smiling like a fool when he sees his creation mimic his movements, and then the smallest drop of hope lands like honey on his tongue when he hears his own name repeated in a halting, broken voice, confused like a child’s and filled with the same sort of wonder.
“Vic… tor…” his creation murmurs as he gestures to himself, and while Victor’s truly elated for that small show of basic intelligence, he also knows that it’s best not to create unnecessary confusion.
“Ah, no, it’s-” he tries once more with an awkward laugh, before gesturing to himself again. “Me, I am Victor.” he says patiently and with great care, observing how his creation blinks with puzzlement, before twisting his hands and placing them atop a smooth, cool chest. “And you…” he then adds with a lopsided, sardonic grin, because there’s truly only one oblivious choice to be made here. “Your name… is Adam.”
(The day when his creation comes to life, Victor remembers that he’s also his mother’s son.)
