During the Trojan War, Achilles finds the old flute that Patroclus used to play on Mount Pelion. He always disappeared carrying it during Achilles’ spear training.

Summary
When he came, I was on my back, plucking the lyre. I decided it counted as practicing. I heard him come in and waited for his introduction to begin, but nothing came. I let my head fall to my side and looked over to him. His posture was awkward. It was like he was internally fighting himself, wanting to shrink and wanting to stand tall at the same time.
or: the early years, as told from Achilles perspective.

Summary
Achilles, best of the Greeks, is a mischievous and self absorbed prince. So when a strange exiled boy joins his father's foster children and is not falling over himself to please him, Achilles takes notice. He pines and follows, persistently following after this now boy to try and find out just why he is so different from the rest. Patroclus on the other hand, is a simple boy who believes he is not destined for much. He has learned throughout his years it is best to keep your head low and your eyes even lower. He doesn't like the prince all that much, and finds him to be insufferable. Still, the two keep running into each other.
Follow as these two do their best to navigate the strange world of legacy and war.I'M BAD AT SUMMARIES

This is a re-write of song of Achilles because OH BOY am i part of the crowd that hated it. I'm going to be taking a whole bunch of creative liberties with it, changing things, giving the characters arcs n stuff, might change things all together and I am forgoing the sex all together.

This is me proving to myself that my freshly seventeen year old self can write this better than a published author

Summary
Pat never bothers to call himself special; He’s borderline at schoolwork and may be outstanding at biology, but his life is dull in comparison with a boy that keeps popping up in his life, the much admired and arrogant Achilles. Pat would ignore him if it weren't for the weird feeling of déjà vus and the random words popping into his head whenever they cross paths, and he's beginning to think there might be more to this than he first thought.
(Patrochilles Reincarnation AU, where Achilles and Pat are allowed to keep their names and appearances in exchange for their memories on earth. At least, that was the plan)
