    Summary

    Honestly, Patroclus hadn’t known the house was haunted.

    There hadn’t been any warning, no bright banner declaring the presence of malicious poltergeists nor had there been any footnotes/small print in the contract that damages to person or house caused by unearthly presences were not the fault of the previous owner.

    Patroclus had to wonder, who exactly had been the previous owner? How had they managed to accumulate this particular set of ghosts?

    He stopped and ducked to avoid the plate flying at his head, feeling the ceramic touch his hair before it shattered against the wall. His dad was so going to kill him.

    Patroclus looked up and he thought he saw dark eyes before the ghost was gone. But they weren’t the only ones. He still hadn't made it to his room.

     

    To help him get over his mother's death, Menoetius moves the family to Phithia. A change in scenery could be beneficial for Patroclus. Except the house is haunted by various ghosts who enjoy making Patroclus's life difficult, the school worships a gang of jerks who make it their personal mission to ruin Patroclus's day, and Patroclus doesn't know how much more he can take.

    Summary

    It started with a lie. A stupid lie, but a lie nonetheless. Let it be known to the people of the Jury that Marinette Dupain-Cheng hated liars. And it was only in extreme circumstances that she found herself uttering falsehoods. This was one such circumstance.

    ~~~

    When Marinette catches Lila in the middle of yet another of her outlandish lies, something in her snaps. And before she can think better of it the words, "I'm dating Adrien Agreste" are spilling from her lips. Caught between a rock and a hard place, there's only one thing she can do. Get her older brother to convince his best friend to lock lips with her at the annual Sweetheart's Ball Kissing Booth. Easy, right!? Except that Marinette has never actually had a boyfriend, and she's never been kissed... so that's a bit of a problem.

    Summary

    Patroclus has come to a definite conclusion: growing up sucks, and a cancer diagnosis certainly doesn't help.

    It's difficult for him to stay positive as he juggles his illness along with just trying to survive his own other personal battles, but when a certain sunshine-haired boy forces his way and threatens to do whatever it takes to brighten Patroclus's life, things might not turn out so bad.

    ////

    A modern Patrochilles retelling in which Patroclus and Achilles meet in elementary school, and how their relationship develops throughout the years. (Please mind trigger warnings at the beginning of each chapter, tags will be added.)
