    Summary

    "Because I remember you, Patroclus.
    I remember you, as you were in my father’s stables, taming even the wildest horses. I remember you, as you were on Pelion, dressing your first wound to perfection. I remember you, as you were in my armour, as you were on your knees begging me to fight, as you were on our bed, your eyes closed, drenched in blood, covered in dust, with that smile on your face.

    And tonight, when I find the wherewithal to rise and return to our tent, I will wipe down my lyre and I will sing of you.

    These are the solemn honours owed the dead."

    Alternatively: Achilles is also made of memories, and the night before that fateful day outside the Scaean Gates, he finds himself thinking back to all that was, and all that could've been.

    Summary

    Though he wants only happiness for his lover, Achilles can't help the jealousy he feels upon hearing that Patroclus has considered having a child with Briseis.

    Fortunately for Achilles, though, Patroclus is determined to erase any doubts about the profundity of his love.

    Summary

    I groaned softly, pulling him into another heated kiss, this one was deeper, warmer, burning hot. I want him the same way as a man wants air. I have followed him everywhere since boyhood. Likewise, I would follow him anywhere. I would stay with him until we were both old and gone into obscurity, I would follow him to Olympus if he became a god, and I would eventually follow him to Elysian Fields.

    Summary

    Shane’s heart dropped. He nodded once and sat up straighter, shoulders rolled back. “It is. I’m sorry if this is too far or whatever, but it’s what I want and I have to ask for what I want. It’s okay if you don’t want to. I’m not going to break up with you over this.” Or anything, really. Even if Ilya said he couldn’t stay a secret and wanted to fuck other people, Shane would let him.

    Ilya’s own heart split in two at that. He turned, metal scraping wood on the deck, and took both of Shane’s hands in his. Time and trust linked their fingers together automatically.

    “I’m not saying I do not want this,” Ilya began. Shane let out a small breath, shoulders relaxing. “But you must know, the things you are coming up with for sex are not things I have done.”

    Something about the cottage made him be honest. Maybe it was the promise last summer of being honest and saying how they really felt. Maybe it was the distance between that unknown precipice and the leap of faith they took together. Whatever it was, Ilya had to come clean if he was going to keep giving Shane whatever his brain and body wanted.

    Summary

    "You feel it," Ilya murmurs. It's not a question. His voice has changed—lower, rougher at the edges, something careful stripped away.

    Shane feels it on every movement. Smooth where Ilya's skin is warm. Hard in a different way. Unmistakable, and he knows exactly what it is before his brain has finished the thought.

    The ring.

    -

    Or: Ilya and Shane’s wedding night. Shane turns out to like their marital rings a little too much, and plenty of pillow talk after.
