Hannibal hates the movie Troy

Headcanon that Hannibal kills and eats everyone who says they love the movie Troy because he's a die hard Patroclus X Achilles shipper and he will never forgive Hollywood for rudely ruining his ancient gay OTP.

"The Song of Achilles" left me heartbroken and now I'm feeling really down. You know what's gonna happen yet are not prepared for it.

What about a continuation to the Patroclus/Achilles prompt? When they're reunited?

He feels him before he sees or hears him, arms around his waist, a breath pressing at the back of his neck. Feels him; strong arms, warm body, rapid heartbeat, gasps out a sobbing breath and turns to take his face in his hands, pressing close, feeling like a piece of his body that has been missing is falling back into a place, like the return of a lung that suddenly lets him breathe. 

"I'm sorry," Achilles says, "you were there, drifting, and I could have buried you, I'm sorry --" and Patroclus quiets him with his mouth the only way he knows, the only way he ever can, "I'm here now," he whispers, "and so are you," and he thinks Elysium is nothing compared to this.

Patrochilles + Achilles getting to the Underworld and Patroclus isn't there?

"Hades," Achilles screams, bursting through the doors of the throne room of the underworld, ignoring the whispers of souls that say, no, this is not a place for dead heroes, ignoring everything but the erratic pounding of his own heart, pa-tro-c-lus, pa-tro-c-lus again and again and again, "what have you done with him, where have you hidden him," and it pounds on, on, on, pa-tro-c-lus, pa-tro-c-lus as Achilles screams, "you can't keep him from me."

"This is not my husband's doing," a voice says from the throne, gentle like spring rain; Achilles turns to see Persephone holding out her hands beseechingly, saying "they have not buried him, they have not written his name on the grave, and he cannot join you until they have."

His heart pounds on, pa-tro-c-lus, pa-tro-c-lus, and Persephone looks on sadly as he falls to his knees, thinking, this is my doing, I did not bury him while I could, and now I will never see him again.

I think some people must've thought Achilles to be so cruel for not burying Patroclus' body because to do so was the equivalent of keeping his soul in a state of unrest, but then I think that Achilles must've heard so many stories, too. He must've heard of how Aphrodite heard Pygmalion's cries and turned his statue, Galatea, to life so that he could be with this woman whom he loved. He must've heard of Orpheus and Eurydice, and how Apollo had allowed Orpheus to go to the underworld and bring Eurydice from the dead if only he would not turn back to look at her while they escaped. And maybe he heard of Psyche, too, and how she fought so valiantly and found so much favor to be with Eros once more. 

And I think that's partly why Achilles held onto Patroclus. There must've been a million reasons, but maybe Achilles was waiting for mercy. Maybe he was waiting for his story to turn. Maybe he was hoping for the gods to remember the age in which they were kinder and more understanding to the humans that toiled and heaved and cried beneath Olympus. There's no patron god of mercy and second chances, but perhaps Achilles was hoping that he, holding onto his Patroclus, his everything, could incite that god or goddess into existence.
