Summary
'Patroclus suddenly realised he was losing Achilles and begged him: “Achilles, promise you WON'T go!”
Achilles quickly turned back around, smiling, and grabbed his shoulders:
“All right, I promise YOU won't go!”
“Oh thank you!” Patroclus said smiling.
Then the brunette paused. With a confused face at what he just agreed to. Did he hear that right?'
-----------------------------
I am extremely disappointed in the lack of Patrochilles Robin Hood AUs, so I had to make one myself. One does not need to watch Robin Hood; Men in Tights to read this, but I highly recommend it because it is the greatest Robin Hood movie ever! I would so kill to make this a full fic but I might not be able do it by myself.
Warnings: Achilles is an idiot and there is spontaneous breaking into song (and maybe one erection joke)

Summary
Patroclus angst, inspired by/based on that one scene in Christopher Nolan’s Inception.
This fic is much more angsty if you know the context of Inception BUT CAN BE READ WITHOUT IT. Slight/minor spoilers.

Summary
“Patroclus had cried and fussed at the scary and loud noise that had disturbed his peacefulness. Though that was to be expected when one had been magically de aged into an infant and now had to be looked after by Odysseus and his unequipped nor capable crew.”
This is primarily an Odyssey fic (I just found it worked better for this story than EPIC, even though I love EPIC), but I may include some aspects and references of the Iliad, EPIC the musical, and tSoA. Basically Odysseus has to make the journey home while making sure child Patroclus and his own crew don't die (turns out the literal child is much more easier to keep alive). Also Patrochilles shall appear here and there!

"Then he heard it. The sound of a fan running…
He never owned a fan…
Patroclus immediately opened his eyes and sat up. This wasn't his room. This wasn't his home."
OR the 50 first dates inspired au one shot that nobody (heh) asked for! You don’t need to watch 50FD to read this!

He's a Very Nice Prince by PetrichorAndDecay
Fandoms: The Iliad - Homer, The Song of Achilles - Madeline Miller

Summary
The ok Patrochilles AU that nobody (ha) asked for. But the author made anyways. May contain some crack.
Basically it's centered around the "A Very Nice Prince" part of the stage musical: Into the Woods. With Pat as Cinderella, Briseis as the Baker's Wife, and Achilles as the Prince. Of course there are some (probably more) changes to the characters (ex: I'm changing the prince from the musical a little)
⚠️NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE STAGE MUSICAL IS REALLY NEEDED TO ENJOY THIS (BUT some parts may seem random or out of context, if you want you can just read the summary on Wikipedia), this will not contain any major spoilers nor will it completely follow the musical's storyline (especially act II) anyways.⚠️
This started out as a one shot, but is now going to have multiple chapters.

Summary
Pat is an overlooked nurse at Atalanti General Hospital. His days are filled with appointments, assisting doctors and caring for the unwell.
Until someone attempts to assassinate President Atremenos.
What follows is not definable, as Pat's anonymity comes to an end and he is thrust upon a pedestal like he is a king amongst nobles by some of the highest echelons in Greek politics. Pat struggles with becoming the apparent centre of the world, but more importantly...
Why do these people keep asking for his name when he has given it three times already?
