Summary
When Laurent set out to plan a royal wedding between two 1) men, who are 2) actively ruling kings, of 3) tenuously peaceful lands, with 4) widely-known reasons to have killed, or possibly 5) still kill each other, he expected the process to come with a few difficulties.
He did not expect getting his perpetually amorous new husband aroused on their wedding night to be the hardest of them.
(Or: ‘Not in front of the court,' said Laurent, as if this were unspeakably foolish, 'in front of the Council.’)

Damen was staring at him when he looked up again, a warm slow sweep of his eyes that made Laurent tingle down to his toes.
You are drunk, he told himself sternly. Do not say something stupid.

you're a walking disaster, and yet— by Johaerys

Summary
—I'll follow in your wake.
"You'll meet my son, Achilles, soon," Mr Pelides told Patroclus on their drive there. "You two will get along just fine. He's as wild as they come, though." The indulgent pride with which he said the words made them sound almost like a compliment. "Don’t let him talk you into anything."
Patroclus blushed as he swore, with strong conviction, that he would absolutely not do that. No sir.
He knows better than that.
Or: Achilles is a threat and a menace. As they grow up together, Patroclus falls for him anyway.

Summary
Achilles, the sun casting its last rays around his head like a halo, resplendent and aureate.
Achilles, the soles of his feet flashing pink as he sprints across the beach.
Achilles, slender fingers plucking the strings of his lyre, eyes green like fresh pressed olives. His cat's smile.
"Guess what I'm thinking about," he says.
The robin that flew over our heads but a minute past. The dream he had last night of a ship with purple sails, its prow slicing the waves of the Aegean sea. The wooden amulet that hangs about the augur's neck. This and this and this.
"I'll be the first hero to be happy," he would tell me years later. "You're the reason."
A collection of all the scenes we didn't get to see in The Song of Achilles. Follows the timeline of the book.

"So let's just run through that again, shall we?" Penny says, turning towards the family tree she's scrawled across her whiteboard. "Your wife-to-be is still in a coma. Her family, who adore you, have no idea that your entire relationship is fake. And now,” she circles Baz’s name, “now you fancy her step-brother?”
Simon shrinks down in his seat. "Well, when you put it that way, you kinda make me sound mental.”

Louis blinks, and then blinks again. “I honestly cannot say the same, Harry,” he says.
Or, Harry left home without a word after high school, and a lot can change in ten years.
