    Summary

    “Madman,” the priest stutters hoarsely, his grey mane whipped by the furious wind. “You will doom us all.”

    “Then doomed we shall be.” 

    Achilles turns to the sea. It churns angrily far below him, as if in answer to him. 

    “Until they bring back my beloved, they are no gods of mine.”

    After the loss of Patroclus, Achilles commits such blasphemy that the gods deny him the right to die. He wanders the Earth for centuries, trying to find his beloved again.

    But when he does, his love doesn’t remember him.

    Summary

    “How much alcohol do you drink on an average week?” Achilles demands.

    “None. Do you smoke?”, Patroclus hits back.

    “Never. Do you consume recreational drugs on a regular basis?”

    “Assuming coffee doesn’t count, no. Are you currently positive for chlamyd— wait, no, this one shouldn’t be—”

    Oh”, Achilles purrs with a deadly grin, “I didn’t think you’d be this forwa—"

    “Shush. That one’s an accident.”

    Patroclus strikes the question out several times in his notebook, and scans his list once again. Sperm count, no, familial history of cardiovascular disease, no, unpaid mortgage, no— aha.

    “Thoughts on marriage?”

     

    Or: Patroclus insists he is unfit for a romantic relationship. Achilles disagrees. Patroclus isn’t sure he believes himself, either.
