A/N: I didn’t really plan on this chapter turning out the way it did, but the words were just kinda flowing. Please excuse this self-indulgent chapter.

Me reading enemies to lovers fics in 2021

Jason picks up his story but is interrupted a minute later by Suit Guy taking the glass out of Henry’s hand and placing a new drink in it. He looks down to find a martini in his hand. His mouth quirks and he looks at Suit Guy. “Vodka or gin?”

“Vodka, of course,” comes the answer with a wicked grin.

“We were talking, man,” Jason pipes up, glaring at Suit Guy before directing his attention back to Henry. “Some people are so rude, that’s not even what you were drinking.”

“I quite like vodka actually,” Henry says. “If I’m in the right mood.”

Or, Henry is alone in a bar one night and things get interesting

Words: 3192, Chapters: 1/1, Language: English

Finally, they met in the underworld. Thetis really came through at the end, thankfully. That ending was actually so satisfying, with the tension being build on whether or not Patroclus would've been granted his peace.

Now they're finally together, eternally. Im gonna fucking cry now...

reading The Song of Achilles up until the messenger from Phtia comes to mount Pelion, closing the book, and imagining the rest myself. canon isn't real if you don't accept it. create your own endings. keep your chin up your crown is falling

the song of achilles quotes that make me go feral (spoiler warning!)

if you haven’t read the book i would wholeheartedly recommend doing so, it is an insanely beautiful and amazing book! very very very heartbreaking tho

-I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.

-And perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone.

-In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.

-We reached for each other, and I thought of how many nights I had lain awake loving him in silence.

-We were like gods at the dawning of the world, & our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other.

-There are no bargains between lion and men. I will kill you and eat you raw.

- I am made of memories. (this is probably my favorite book quote)

-He is half of my soul, as the poets say. That is — your friend?” “Philtatos,” Achilles replied, sharply. Most beloved.

- It is right to seek peace for the dead. You and I both know there is no peace for those who live after.

-“If you have to go, you know I will go with you.”

-I let him hold me, let him press us length to length so close that nothing might fit between us. Tears came, and fell. Above us, the constellations spun and the moon paced her weary course. We lay stricken and sleepless as the hours passed.

-What is admired in one generation is abhorred in another. We cannot say who will survive the holocaust of memory… We are men only, a brief flare of the torch.

-When he died, all things soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with him.

-When I am dead, I charge you to mingle our ashes and bury us together.

-Achilles was looking at me. “Your hair never quite lies flat, here.” He touched my head, just behind my ear. “I don’t think I’ve ever told you how I like it.”

-I will never leave him. It will be this, always, for as long as he will let me.

-“Name one hero who was happy.” I considered. Heracles went mad and killed his family; Theseus lost his bride and father; Jason's children and new wife were murdered by his old; Bellerophon killed the Chimera but was crippled by the fall from Pegasus' back. “You can't.” He was sitting up now, leaning forward. “I can't.” “I know. They never let you be famous AND happy.” He lifted an eyebrow. “I'll tell you a secret." “Tell me.” I loved it when he was like this. “I'm going to be the first.” He took my palm and held it to his. “Swear it.” “Why me?” “Because you're the reason. Swear it.” “I swear it,” I said, lost in the high color of his cheeks, the flame in his eyes. “I swear it,” he echoed. We sat like that a moment, hands touching. He grinned. I feel like I could eat the world raw.

achilles loved patroclus so much that when pat died the gods feared for their lives and i just am so in love with that fact. like i want someone to love me to that point
