Me, laying awake: I can't believe there are people who think Achilles and Patroclus were cousins because of that dumb movie

[knockout-rose]

Its been a while! My family and I went to Greece this summer and I decided it was a GOOD IDEA to read this book in its setting, just after having read the Illiad for the first time.  It was a bad idea. It was a bit immersive.  Had me feeling too much.  Highly recommend this read, even though it will make you hate yourself for picking it up.  And as you can see, I couldn’t stop taking pictures of the pretty cover in different places around Thessaloniki.

I am new to the fandom and was wondering what happy fics you would recommend to start with. Thank you!

So I’ve read quite a few happier fics most of which have a little bit of angst in them, you can’t escape it in this fandom :’) But here we go:

-Beach Antics with Achilles by rememberednoah (Chapters 3/3)

There were few things Patroclus would say no to when it came to Achilles. When Achilles asked him not to take a summer class, he agreed because Achilles made a convincing point by merely breathing. When Achilles asked him to go on a road trip with him to Phthia so they could spend a week at the beach, how was Patroclus supposed to say no? The answer to that was that there was no way for him to say no because the whole idea had more upsides than downsides.

-Warm Sand by patrochillin (1.4k)

Achilles and Patroclus, in their early years of friendship in Phthia, share an intimate moment

- Untitled by Chaotic_Mira (1.4k)

Deidamea is the new girl who gets a lovey dovey at the sight of Achilles. Achilles and Patroclus are giant memes, Briseis doesn’t get paid enough.

-To Never Leave by somanyfeels (1.3k)

With a soft sigh, Patroclus’ nose wrinkled. Achilles smiled at that, he was waking him. Slowly and gradually so as to continue his journey across his skin for a few moments more. His lips moved from the face, down his neck, and began brushing against his collar bone while his hands traced the curves of his spine and rested at his hips.

-To Be Loved By Him by faerierequeim (7k)

When Patroclus is framed for a crime he did not commit, a mysterious boy is his only clue to discovering who the true culprit is.

- I Like You A Latte by spraycansoul (Chapters 2/2)

“Aren’t you gonna ask for my name?” Achilles teased, gesturing to the cup.

Pat shrugged and gestured to the empty cafe. “Don’t need to.”

“In that case, can I ask for yours?”

Coffee shop/modern au. In which Pat is a barista and Achilles is an up-and-coming indie pop singer.

-...as the poets say by Palebluedot (607)

“Do you know the story of how people came to look as they do now?” Patroclus shakes his head. “Will you tell it?”

-Like Gods at the Dawning of the World by Pthithia (1.5k)

The infamous cave scene on Pelion from Achilles’ point of view.

- A Good Life by Rainbow_Femme (Chapters 3/3)

Transgender Patroclus and Achilles with prosthetic limbs. It’s a modern au drabble from them meeting to after they’ve been married a while with lots of fluff.

I’ve also created a couple of Patrochilles Fic Recs (they do contain a more holistic range of fics):

TSOA Fic Rec and TSOA Fic Rec part 2.

All credit goes to the brilliant authors and I hope that helped @tootall77hc! x
