    Summary

    At first, it is like the moment he died. A dark abyss, the absence of thought.

    There is feeling in the darkness however, coming into relief gradually—his limbs sing with the ache from a pleasure-laced bite of a rope, holding him up like the long, weaving sinews that tether the immortal soul to a mortal life. His arms, he finds with a flex of his muscles, are bound tightly behind his back. The bindings weave down from his neck and chest, down to his hips; and then further below, where his calf hugs against the corded flesh of his upper thigh. He feels as if he is kneeling upright upon a cloud, suspended in the air. He struggles against the rope with an experimental fussing—the weight of his dangling body sways slightly from the momentum it creates.

    His blood begins to stir at the feeling of such helplessness. But there is also something else he would like to assess.

    “Patroclus,” Achilles calls out into the void.

    There is no answer. Ah.

    One deprived of sight, the other deprived of hearing — Achilles & Patroclus are still able to revel in the ecstasy of one another. Each chapter is the same scene from each pov, experienced very differently.
