    Summary

    Zuko is steadfastly, unflinchingly, resolutely, determined to be a Firelord incomparable to the ones before him. To his great-grandfather. To his grandfather. To his father. Zuko will not be like them; not in name, not in mind, and not in spirit. Zuko will pave his own way by the blood of his hands and the skin of his teeth, he will start the change that the Fire Nation needs in order to bring true peace to the nations.

    He should have known it had to start with the children; it always does.

    Summary

    Just over ten minutes later, Athena is beginning to wonder if Hermes was mistaken. Maybe the supposed mix up was in itself a mix up, and there were no petals in the cake after all. Or maybe there were, but she’s one of the few people in existence for whom moly has no effect. That would make sense, she thinks. Her domain is the mind, after all, so perhaps that automatically cancels out anything that might alter her thoughts.

    In that case, why is she standing off to the side like this? If the moly isn’t going to be a problem, there’s no need for her to remain separate. She should join a conversation! Talk to people! It might even be fun!

    Oh, she thinks, blinking rapidly as the realisation hits. Oh, no.

    ***

    Several months on from that disastrous road trip, Odysseus and Penelope invite their friends and family over for the evening. Athena reluctantly agrees to come, planning to stay for as short a time as possible before disappearing. But when Hermes shows up, a moly-related mix up causes events to take an... interesting turn.

    Or: Athena and Odysseus accidentally get high, then spend the next few hours trying very hard to pretend they didn't.

    Summary

    During a sumptuous banquet to celebrate a successful raid on one of the cities on the outskirts of Troy, many captains pour wine for the great-hearted Patroclus as they congratulate him on his warlike exploits of the day.

    So many, in fact, that the son of Menoetius ends up, much to Achilles’ amusement, significantly drunk.

    So drunk that he ventures to dance for the first time in his life.

    So drunk that he is loud in bed for the first time in his life.

    When revolutionary leader Achilles requests a painting of the most beautiful man in Troy, Patroclus is roped into posing for the portrait as a cruel trick. It backfires, resulting in him being sent to meet Achilles under a different identity. Amid a tumultuous foreign court, he finds himself further entangled in a web of secrets, lies, and a life he was never prepared for.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    i will not lie to you.

    this fic has made me cry. throughout the whole thing. save for maybe the first ten.

    i cried and i cried and i cried, shaking as i tried to keep my sobs in, but it really was difficult to do so when the tears ran down my face endlessly, soaking my matress and my clothing as though i had been caught in the fucking rain.

    you will not believe how wrecked i look. i do not cry for patroclus and achilles and their tragedy with restraint, but with snot running down my face, and drool escaping the corners of my lips because i cannot seem to be capable of keeping my mouth shut and my emotions to myself.

    perhaps it was the motifs that made me this way. the breakfast rituals, the tree song, hestia, all of it that i noticed but i cant seem to remember because i am still crying qnd i cant seem to fucking stop i cant cnat cant why whay why why why are they always doomed on god oh god

    fuck they loved eachother. its like, regardless of the actions, theu loved the person more, its the kind of love that i can only drema off fick fickldlslsldkekke

    im sorry i cant keep writing my hands are getting wet
