The best "therapon" by ASkopsMadeOfMemories
Fandoms: The Iliad - Homer, The Song of Achilles - Madeline Miller, Ancient Greek Religion & Lore
24 Jan 2026

Summary
In the tenth year of the Trojan War, the Achaeans receive reinforcements from their homelands. During the welcome banquet, one of the newly arrived kings, Schedius, son of Iphitus, leader of the Phocians, publicly humiliates Patroclus by calling him "Achilles’ pórnoi", as it is said in Hellas. His whore.
Deipyrus, the young therapon of another of the newly arrived kings, on the other hand, finds Patroclus a man worthy of admiration and respect. And perhaps something more.

The Best of the Myrmidons by Rizandace

Summary
“Achilles, you know I love you entirely,” I say. “You know nothing could ever, in all the world, change the depth of my feelings for you.”
I hear the huff of his breath, the beginnings of relief. Something in his face cracks, goes soft, and I know in a moment he will step forward and kiss me, and it will be so much harder to say the next thing once that has happened.
And so I shift back, take a step away from him, and force the next words out, even though to shatter his hopeful expectations will bring me more pain than even the thought of Briseis in Agamemnon’s hands— “but I cannot stay while you persist in this.”
--
Patroclus makes a different choice, and it changes everything.

Karma is the Guy with the Tropes by miss_athena

Summary
Karma [noun]
/ˈkɑː.mə/
=a concept of action, work, or deed, and its effect or consequencesTrope [noun]
/trəʊp/
=a recurring theme or ideaAchilles really thought that this would be it; That everything that has happened during the past month was the universe's punishment for being such an idiot. But this right now? A clear sign that karma isn't done with him yet, and maybe even feeling particularly funny today.
Or: Achilles makes fun of rom-coms and karma is served to him in the form of Patroclus, who drags him right into one

Summary
"Later, we lay on the riverbank, learning the lines of each other's bodies anew. This, and this and this. We were like gods at the dawning of the world, and our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other."

Summary
Achilles is Aristos Achaion, yet he isn't bred for war nor for violence. His hands are made for lyre strings, for plucking figs and digging into pomegranate, for pointing out stars and skipping stones on calm ponds. His hands are made for love, only wild in the throes of passion and gentle immediately after to reassure no harm was done.
Yes, those hands are kind, but they can kill. For him, Patroclus knows, they would.

Summary
"In my folly, I wish to fight him. I wish to race him, as men, around the track at Opus; see how his feet fly like Hermes. I wish to see the terrible thunder of his eyes before mine, the snarl of his lips, the beat of a vein at his throat, and conquer."
Prince Patroclus meets Prince Achilles at Troy. Tensions run high.

Summary
The sole harpist in the university's music department gets expelled, leaving Patroclus's group missing a vital member for their final recital that will launch their careers. There is only one other person Patroclus knows who can play the harp. Unfortunately, said person is Achilles—the star swimmer of the university and beyond, who has a publicly unknown talent on the harp, and a largely unknown history with Patroclus.

As Fate Would Have It by Johaerys
Fandoms: The Song of Achilles - Madeline Miller, Hades (Video Game 2018), The Iliad - Homer
11 Feb 2026

Summary
Achilles tilts his chin up defiantly, in an effort to stare Patroclus down. He only succeeds in looking like a petulant child. “It is considered a great honour to be a therapon to a prince, you know.”
“Honour is meant to be earned, not handed out as if to a beggar, or a dog.”
Achilles’ nostrils flare, his green-gold eyes gleaming dangerously. “Such scorn from someone who was training to be a common footsoldier just this morning. Many of the boys back at the yard would beg for this chance.”
“Then you should have chosen one of them, perhaps." Patroclus glances down at the expensive chiton and his brand new arms, and hates how heavy and foreign they feel on him. “I didn’t ask for any of this.”
The last thing Patroclus wants is to become therapon to the Prince of Phthia. He had his fill of princelings back when he lived in Opus—hell, he used to be one himself. He doesn't need some stuck-up demigod to size him up and appoint him his glorified manservant. He'd much rather pass, thank you very much.
Achilles, however, is unlike any prince he's ever met.

Summary
Patroclus likes to insist that he only gets high because Achilles does, which always makes Achilles laugh and remind him that he only buys their weed half the time, and that Patroclus was the one who knew their dealer first. Patroclus inevitably gets grumpy, at which point Achilles will crawl over to him and kiss him until he gets ungrumpy. Then, of course, they'll finish the joint.

you're a walking disaster, and yet— by Johaerys

Summary
—I'll follow in your wake.
"You'll meet my son, Achilles, soon," Mr Pelides told Patroclus on their drive there. "You two will get along just fine. He's as wild as they come, though." The indulgent pride with which he said the words made them sound almost like a compliment. "Don’t let him talk you into anything."
Patroclus blushed as he swore, with strong conviction, that he would absolutely not do that. No sir.
He knows better than that.
Or: Achilles is a threat and a menace. As they grow up together, Patroclus falls for him anyway.

Summary
Achilles is a brilliant painter. It was Patroclus who first suggested it to him, actually, back when they were boys, so he could channel his hyper-active imagination into something productive. He's stood behind Achilles, and watched as, over the years, shaky hands become steady, and pieces with potential become stunning compositions.
But there's one tiny problem.
Achilles has painted everything and everyone- except Patroclus. He's never, not once, painted Patroclus.
And it even though it shouldn't bother him, it does. It irks him for a reason he can't really explain. Because after all, they were best friends? Closer than best friends. Weren't they?
