Summary
[voice memo from Achilles, 12:16 AM]
[background noise: the soft hum of a war camp at night, the crackle of a dying fire]
"patroclus, i’m drunk and thinking about your hands. thinking about how you held my spear today, which sounds like a euphemism but isn’t, except maybe it is. but not in the way you think. it’s just. you look good holding anything dangerous. maybe even me. maybe especially me."[unsent voice memo from Achilles, 12:17 AM]
[soft background music, maybe a lyre, maybe just the sound of the night]
“sometimes i think i was born from war, like i came out of my mother’s womb swinging a sword. but you— you feel like the first thing that wasn't a battle. and i don't know what to do with that. except hold on. tight. maybe too tight."a character study of Achilles and Patroclus

Summary
"I … I don't get what I’m meant to do. I just throw my food into the fire and ... talk?" James, a son of Hermes asked -- Percy could recognise those blue eyes and elfish facial features anywhere.
Percy grinned, "Yeah, that's pretty much it."
James hesitated before looking down at his feet, "But ... Hermes has a lot of children more powerful and more popular than me. What would I even ask him for? It's not like he cares."
Maybe it was because Percy was reminded of that promise he wrangled from the gods at age sixteen, but one moment he was looking at the younger camper, and the next he was throwing some of his food into the fire and asking Poseidon for some Disneyland tickets very, very loudly.
But even though he wasn't quite sure how it happened, the small, shocked laugh that James let out made it worth it.
Or
Percy sees that some of the newer campers don't feel 100% comfortable with requesting stuff from their godly parents, so he decides to rectify that the only way he knows how -- dramatically.

Summary
A fic prompt by patthephiltatos on tumblr based on this post by dylan-ski on tumblr (http://dylan-ski.tumblr.com/post/133237342041/okay-but-i-just-realized) :
"Okay but I just realized
In the Iliad, Achilles loved Patroclus to the point where Zeus had to intervene and restrain his rage because he knew that Achilles’ anger could defy fate and destroy Troy before it was meant to fall.
Achilles’ rage at Patroclus’ death could elude fate itself.
That’s how much he loved him."Where the gods are unable to stop Achilles from seeking revenge and changing fate.
