Work/Series Summary:
They can not have him. The gods and the kings and everyone in between. Achilles is not theirs to take.
Favorite Quotes/Passages:
But the world does not know Achilles like Patroclus does. It has not seen him soft and gentle in the early morning glow like Patroclus has. It hasn’t seen his laughter or the way the skin beside his eyes crinkles like satin when he smiles. It hasn’t seen the tender way he touches Patroclus in the glow of the moonlight, with the stars as their only witness.
He thinks maybe he should apologise to the Gods for believing anything could be more beautiful than the paradise they created, but the apology would be hollow. He would not mean it. For he knows in his heart that not even Aphrodite is more beautiful than the boy before him, who looks like he has been kissed by sunlight on even the darkest of days. Nothing is more beautiful than the love which crackles between them like an open flame.
