  1. Summary

    Hello! This is my collection of shorter works that are specifically written a bit differently. Essentially it’s an easier way of writing(for me) that is third person and focuses on progression instead of details and descriptions. If that makes any sense. Head-canons, AUs are here too, usually in the same style.

    Mainly beeduo, either romantic or implied so! As is most of my account at the moment. That could change though.

    Summary

    After his death, Achilles finds himself in the underworld. Prepared to face his judgement and eternity, he marches into hell, only to learn that Patroclus never arrived. He sets up vigil outside the gates, and waits.

    ~/~

    'Where is he?’ he demanded, his voice breaking against the colossal thrones like a wooden spear against the walls of Troy. The crowd stirred over his shoulder, whispers amongst ghosts, but Achilles paid them no mind.

    ‘And who do you speak of?’ asked Minos, the barbs of his lashing tongue catching Achilles’s skin, tearing what little remained unmarked. He turned his attention to the last of the judges, and spoke solely to Rhadamanthus.

    ‘Patroclus.’

    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.

    Summary

    The courtship between Link and Revali is one of mixed signals, miscommunication, conflict, and chaos, up until the Calamity strikes. After? Well, that's a different story. Maybe. Possibly. If they can manage it. The Champions fail, but not all is lost, and in a new world where the Silent Princess grows in abundant clusters, something beautiful blooms for all of them.

    (A story of healing, hope, and families of choice...and an apocalyptic event, naturally.)
