Summary
Achilles/Patroclus. When Patroclus, the clumsy son of a disappointed father, is exiled to Phthia for fostering, he feels totally justified in his dislike for the king's son. After all, who could possibly tolerate someone so arrogant, so narcissistic, and so wholly and completely everything that he wants to be? Rated M for later chapters.

Summary
“Do you think we would be like this, if we saw each other every day?”
The question broke the silence between them, and it took Patroclus a moment to digest the words.
“What do you mean?”
“If you had been born here, as I was. And you weren’t a shepherd… we’d meet at school or during a festival...” Achilles swung his head over to look at him. “Would we still be friends?”
Patroclus nodded. “I would like to think so.”
Achilles smiled, it was small and didn’t reach his eyes. “We’d grow up together.”
[Patroclus is a shepherd who visits the city of Phthia once a year to do business, where he meets Achilles, the mayor's son and they form a fast friendship that even distance cannot diminish.]

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.

Summary
Achilles did not know how long he dozed, his arms circled protectively around the one thing in the world he had left to care for. He only knew that at some point, the soft flesh beneath his cheek began to warm. He thought nothing of it at first, thinking it was only the heat from his own body reflecting back at him, but he froze when, out of nowhere, the chest he lay against rose beneath him before falling, then rising again.

Summary
Writing this for an anon fic request based on the au that Phillatos on tumblr came up with. 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.
