Some TSOA headcanons because I can't sleep!
(it's 1:15 AM -_-)
Achilles, Patroclus, Automedon, Briseis, Odysseus and Diomedes are all one big friend group (Yes, no one dies).
During the wedding, Briseis was Patroclus's groomslady and Automedon was Achilles's best man.
Sometimes they would visit Odysseus in Ithaca, and Penelope would tell them stories by the fireplace while Odysseus beamed at his wife with love in his eyes.
Thetis visits Achilles like usual, and sometimes asks for Patroclus, and tries hard to hide the fact that she'd begun to care for her son's husband too.
Briseis offered to be the surrogate for Achilles and Patroclus, but they denied, because they want to adopt children.
Diomedes hosts drinking parties in his palace and invites them all — Achilles gets hella drunk and Patroclus has to hold him up; Briseis is a crazy dancer while drunk, Automedon refuses to drink and Odysseus drinks a modest amount, having light banter with Diomedes.
Achilles trained their child to aim by teaching the child to throw spears at a picture of Agammemnon (extra points if the child gets his throat).
Odysseus has Penelope's name tattooed over his heart — he would boast about it to anyone who listens.
Patroclus suffers from depression.
Penelope is a mother figure for Achilles, Patroclus, Automedon and Briseis.
Automedon has PTSD from when he saw Hector stab Patroclus (he survived, obviously).
Automedon is asexual.
Patroclus sometimes calls Achilles Pyrrha, just to see the embarassment on his face.
Achilles would take any opportunity to flex his muscles to Patroclus — he just loves seeing his husband blush.
Patroclus continues referring to himself as Chironides. He doesn't tell Chiron, but little does he know that Chiron knows it too, and secretly loves it.
Chiron sends spears to Achilles every year on his birthday.
Patroclus continued working in the field of surgery, teaching basic care to his child as well. Achilles refuses to learn though. "It's boring", "Why do I have to learn it when you are here."
And that's it! Feel free to add more headcanons :)
