This is an abstract one, so ignore it if nothing comes to you, but I'm curious if there's any fics you can recommend that have the vibe of the dancing sequence at the end of Post Modern Prometheus.
Like carefree, happy, totally in love but repressing it (or not), suave, smiley, that kind of thing. Not actually a tag to the episode itself.
I have innumerable fics that fit this vibe-- so innumerable, in fact, that this category had to be whittle down to dancing stories, then cut down further to only include Post Modern Prometheus scenes. (But don't worry, there'll be a Part II sometime soon~.)

imagine if there was a live action movie adaptation of TSOA! it would be pretty epic. if this were to happen there's been one scene that's sat in my head for so long that i think would definitely break me and hopefully everyone else (in a really emotional way).
i think that the song achilles come down by gang of youths is definitely an obvious choice as a soundtrack for the movie. but it's such a long song, what would you use?
it would be so nice to hear that cello part just anywhere in the movie. but i think in terms of emotion it would definitely hurt to hear the song towards the end of the storyline, like during the trojan war scenes.
the song itself is really emotional, and here's one of the (many) lines that stick out to me, that's repeated throughout (to make more of an impact imo):
today of all days, see,
how the most dangerous thing is to love
how you will heal and you'll rise above
crowned by an overture bold and beyond
ah, it's more courageous to overcome
now hear me out. on-screen, achilles has just found out that patroclus wore his armour into battle and died. he’s kneeled over his lover’s body. as the grief begins to set in for achilles, we hear, faintly, a cello (at 5:48). there's nothing spoken by achilles or anyone else - the whole world is silent. this would allows us to hear the above lyrics, almost as someone - thetis? patroclus? achilles? - is talking to achilles. he also slowly looks up towards the sky, as a way to avoid looking at patroclus’ body but also to send a silent message, a plea, to the gods above.
anyways yeah just a little idea i had that i wanted to share bc every time i think about it i want to cry because i love them and i also love the song so much

Listening to The Amazing Devil in the summer is great but listening to them in the autumn when there’s a crisp chill to the air and the evenings are drawing in and you’re walking outside looking at the yellows and reds of the leaves is a whole just other experience idk what to tell you
