Title: The Tenderhearted Defender for words_processing

Word Count: 2k

Pairing: Achilles x Patroclus

Summary: Patroclus Menoetides is descended from kings. But he will never rule a kingdom.

Menoetides gives up his crown, his country, and his station to protect his son. On the run from a very powerful and very angry enemy, Patroclus and his father flee to Phthia for aid. When they are attacked off the coast, and Patrolclus is the only survivor, he seeks out King Peleus' court. Peleus agrees to take him into hiding, bound by oath and secret brotherhood to Menoetius. As Patroclus struggles to adjust to a new court, he encounters, new friends, old enemies, a rampaging giant, an assassination plot, and a prophecy that could change the Fate of the known world. And that doesn't even cover half of it.

Like the beautiful prince he's sworn to protect.

Royal AU

when will the rest of the fics be posted? is everything stalled?

A little bit. I only have two fics left so I was hoping with the end of semesters I might get the two others I’m waiting for, but I don’t think that's going to happen so I guess I’ll just publish the last two and reveal them in a few days.

Rugby Accident and Handsome Nurses for Emmi901

Pairing: Achilles x Patroclus

Word Count: 800 words

Summary: Achilles gets hurt in Athletics training and is finally is able to talk to the beautiful Patroclus

[tsoa-fic-exchange]

Title: flour in your hair, love in your heart for Irrelevancy 

Pairing: Achilles/Patroclus

Word Count: 4k

Summary: Here is how it starts. Patroclus takes an opening shift one day in late September, because Briseis has gotten the stomach flu and swears that if she moves from her bed, she may vomit. So he ends up working with Odysseus and Iphigenia, who never does a damn thing but gets to keep her job because she's Fucking Agamemnon's kid, and can you spell nepotism? Patroclus can. That higher education isn't going to waste, oh no.

Hi was wondering when the rest of the fics will be up? The drought in axp fics is disheartening :c

I’m so sorry for the mini-hiatus.  It’s partly because I’m still waiting on half the pinch-hitters, but also because my semester has been really kicking my ass so I took a bit of a tumblr break. Good news though, I’m done with school next week so I’ll resume posting normally this week with the fics I have atm.  

[tsoa-fic-exchange]

Hi! When is the reveal?

Hi! I was originally planning on only revealing the authors at the end of the entire exchange but since I’m still waiting on some pinch hitters I could do a “halfway reveal” of sorts, if people are interested? 

Thoughts guys? 

[tsoa-fic-exchange]

Title: Badlands for Sherlockandjawn

Pairing: Achilles/Patroclus

Word Count: 9k

Summary: When Achilles noticed the new kid, everybody noticed the new kid.

(For TSoA fic exchange, prompt: American Highschool AU where Patroclus is a bad boy who leads golden boy Achilles astray.)

Hi! I'm a pinch hitter and I've been trying to turn in my assignment, but it says Unapproved? I only ask because I turned something in for another exchange and it said it was complete. What does this mean? Help!

Hiya! Unapproved just means I haven’t posted it yet. It’s been submitted to the exchange but I have to approve all the stories before they’re actually published. If you’re concerned you can always come off anon/send me your ao3 username and I can check to make sure everything is in order :)

This and This and This for Maes

pairing: achilles x patroclus

word count: 17k

summary:

Slender calves stretch to the elegant tendons of his heels, feet scarcely touching the ground. He keeps pace alongside his friend, he laughs as if he’s at a saunter, until he’s off again until he reaches the start. Grasping his foot from over his shoulders, he stretches.

Patroclus’ cheeks burn, scalded by envy.

No one's first day of school is ever easy.

[tsoa-fic-exchange]

How often will you be posting the fics from the exchange?

Since we have a lot of pinch hitters still working on fics we’re going with only once a week so that there’s no gaps with no fics at all!

Here Comes the Greek Tragedy for ShyWriter

summary: There is blood, everywhere, pouring from what seems like every orific in her body, but she can’t find it in her to scream. She can only whimper, her knees buckling as she falls, a seemingly endless fall, and her last.

Hey everyone!

We still need a couple of pinch hitters to make sure that everyone who wrote a fic will get a fic back, so if you’re interested or know someone who is, it would really help us out. 

Thanks in advance! 

[tsoa-fic-exchange]

Have the authors who didn't respond been dropped? Pinch hitters probably need to be given their new assignments soon so they can finish in time.

Sorry I haven’t been on much, the beginning of the semester has been kicking my ass to be honest and I just haven’t had much time. 

The authors have been defaulted. I’m contacting a few people who did offer to pinch hit at the moment to see if they’re still interested. It’s quite a short list though and ideally I’d need four more people so if anyone is still interested, we’d love to have you on board. 

[tsoa-fic-exchange]

We’ve sent emails to the MIA writers, some of which have bounced back so we’ll repeat what we said on here. 

If you’re a writer who hasn’t posted their fic and hasn’t been in touch about an extension, you have until next saturday (sept. 19) to do so. If we don’t hear back from you, we’ll assumed you’ve dropped out and default you. 

If you do plan on dropping out, please shoot us an email anyway. It’ll allow us to contact pinch hitters sooner and give them more time to write. 

Thanks in advance!

[tsoa-fic-exchange]

Friendly reminder that today is the last day to contact us about an extension. If you don’t get in touch today we will default you. Also, if anyone is interested in pinch hitting our ask box is always opened! We are definitely going to need people if we want everyone who wrote a fic to get one.

[tsoa-fic-exchange]

Last chance folks.
