Summary
My name is Patroclus Menoitiades. Although, whether you consider my blood or my heart, I carry two names: Menoitiades and Pelides alike. I am the son of two fathers. Both were kings and sons of kings. The first was given to me. The second I found. During this life, and in place of what I was given at birth, I found myself a family.
In the beginning, there was Automedon and Briseis. The first was born on Skyros, son of a man who ruled the isle. The second was born in Troy, and was ruled by all. Then came Paris and Helen, both home wherever the other was.
But first, before all of them… There was my therapon. I never found the words to describe what he meant to me in common terms. My love, my brother, my friend? I don't think I ever will. He was half of my soul, as the poets say.
My name is Patroclus Menoitiades. I have more fathers than most and missed a mother every day of my life. I was born in Opus in 1984... I shall probably not die there.Bookmarked by an14hh

Summary
“You want to know what it’s like to be helpless…to be one of us.”
When a near-death experience brings Superman’s desire for Batman out into the open, a dark and surreal relationship grows between the two heroes. However, when Clark’s obsession with Batman’s identity collides with Bruce’s trust issues, their games come to a bitter end. Months later, Clark is distracted from his heartbreak by the assignment of a lifetime—an interview with billionaire philanthropist Bruce Wayne. Unaware of their shared past—or secret identities—Clark and Bruce's mutual attraction grows into a fledgling relationship. Faced with the potential for something real, they both must decide if they can still live double lives—or if the cost of secrecy will be too high to pay.

Summary
The things Batman does for his Superman.
Bruce will go to great lengths to impress, protect, and look after the one who matters the most to him.
(The first few chapters start off as crack mixed in with fluff and romance, and then the story becomes more serious as the chapters progress.)

Summary
“I’ve brought you someone,” Peleus tells Achilles as soon as he sits at the table. “A boy, to keep you company.”
Achilles pauses in the act of picking up his fork. He’s still breathless from his bike ride and there’s sweat cooling on his forehead and dampening his shirt in the summer heat. “You brought what?”
“His name is Patroclus,” his father says conversationally, as if he’s talking about the weather. He smiles his charming smile at Achilles’ baffled stare. “He’s a good boy. I think you two will get along just fine.”
The first chapter of you're a walking disaster and yet— from Achilles' POV :)
