Summary
Set Canon season 1 episode 1 -
Pinned against a stone wall by the hands of the prince of Camelot, Merlin second guessed his decision to save the prat's life.
OR.
Arthur sees Merlin use magic to stop the thrown knife from killing him.
He knows the law. He should tell his father. He should arrest Merlin.
But, he doesn’t. Instead, he allows Merlin to work for him on the proviso that he doesn’t use magic. Ever.
Except Arthur has questions he’s never been given answers to. And Merlin is – odd. He’s nothing like what Arthur’s been told a sorcerer is and he makes it all too easy for Arthur to drop his guard.
His father, his attendants and tutors, have taught him about the manipulations of witchcraft and sorcery and how they can twist a man into feeling empathy for the wicked.
The problem is that Merlin isn’t exactly what he’d call wicked. Arthur trusts his own instincts and they’re telling him very different things to what the king decreed. He vows to watch over his new manservant. The moment he commits treason, he’ll run a sword through him.
And in the meantime, maybe – just maybe – he’ll find out for himself if a man who turns to evil, can’t turn back.

Theres 2 Patroclus in Achilles life: canine patroclus and human Patroclus.
(Patroclus is still human but Achilles has a sense of humor so he gets a dog and names him patroclus figuring he would never actually meet a person named Patroclus. I feel like I should clarify that im not writing beastiality its that Achilles owns a dog named Patroclus (named ironically) and then he meets Patroclus its not that pat is a shapeshifter or a furry guys ( not that there’s anything wrong with that to each their own) I’m sorry for the confusion! -

Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
Cover art by Lao-Pendragon------
For many long years Merlin waited.
For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.
Until one day, suddenly, it did.
When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.
Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

Summary
Achilles is Phthia College’s top rower. Paris is its top soccer player. Briseis is a film student, and Helen is an asexual dancer who Menelaus keeps bothering. Patroclus is a transfer student from East Locris University who’s sitting at a local Subway familiarizing himself with the city and being a good studious student and trying not to stare at the incredibly handsome golden-haired boy sitting nearby, when – was that a camera flash?
And thus begins the adventures of Patroclus and Achilles, or, in other words, in which Achilles is completely smitten with Patroclus and Patroclus is trying his hardest to deny he has a crush on Phthia’s golden boy.

Summary
Pat never bothers to call himself special; He’s borderline at schoolwork and may be outstanding at biology, but his life is dull in comparison with a boy that keeps popping up in his life, the much admired and arrogant Achilles. Pat would ignore him if it weren't for the weird feeling of déjà vus and the random words popping into his head whenever they cross paths, and he's beginning to think there might be more to this than he first thought.
(Patrochilles Reincarnation AU, where Achilles and Pat are allowed to keep their names and appearances in exchange for their memories on earth. At least, that was the plan)

“Are you sure this is a good idea?”
Steve didn’t think it was at all possible, but right now he was even more confused than he was before this whole thing started. He frowned at the brightly colored website Clint had loaded on his laptop. Flirting for Dummies, the title of the article read. Want a guy’s attention but not sure how to go about it? You’ve come to the right article!
Steve had a bad feeling about this.
AKA the one where Clint helps Steve flirt with Tony via Internet tips. Steve kind of screws it up, but that's what makes it work.

"And we realized we were in love—when exactly?"
At this, Achilles looked up, and Patroclus was probably imagining it, but his face had turned pinker.
"I don't know. You choose."

If you were disappointed on page 129 when Miller describes Achilles and Patroclus's reunion night together as a "bounty of hours that never ran dry" but didn't elaborate, maybe this fic is for you. Boy-on-boy sex, intense teenage heroic Greek feels.

“How did you sleep?” Damen asked.
“Kiss me a proper good morning, and I'll tell you,” Laurent said, ever the conspirator, even upon waking. He could negotiate his way through the brick walls of an impenetrable fortress without breaking a sweat, Damen thought, fondly.
“It's too early for bartering,” Damen replied with a similar sentiment, unable to hide his happiness: Laurent wished to be kissed first thing. “I’ll kiss you good morning for free.”
