someone should write a fanfic about Achilles getting killed and reincarnated into modern world with his memory and big ego. But now in this world, he is the son who is casted away, Patroclus is the son of very important figure, and Patroclus takes Achilles as a body guard or assistance. For the first time in his life, Achilles learns to be a follower. What’s worse, Patroclus doesn’t seem to remember him at all.

Thinking about the parallels between Solangelo and Patrochilles (specifically The Song of Achilles's version), because turns out it's so much more interesting than i first thought it'd be. Cause at first glance, we obviously think Will = Achilles (gold and sunshine aesthetic, extremely lovable, charismatic, optimistic, trusting, admired) and Nico = Patroclus (darker aesthetic, soft, sensitive, shy, abandoned and rejected backstory, very strong emotions). And it does fit pretty well, at least for their personalities and physical characteristics.

But thematically, it's the complete opposite, which is what makes it so interesting for me. Will is the one (like Patroclus) who chooses to heal instead of fighting, who desperatly wants to save EVERYONE, who needs to learn to take care of himself before taking care of anybody else. Meanwhile, Nico is the one (like Achilles) who is this insanely powerful, mythical fighter who could absolutly destroy anything or anyone in his path, who always only rely on instincts (even though they have been wrong many times before and he should really learn to listen to other people's inputs), who doesn't always think of the consequences his actions might bring, and who would and actually has gone berserk from despair over the death of a loved one.

Yes, Solangelo parallels Patrochilles, but it's not necessarily how you think, and that just opened up a whole bunch of new story possibilities in my mind...

To readers of both Percy Jackson and The Song of Achilles:

Do you remember how, in The Last Olympian, Achilles was standing by the River Styx, warning Percy about his choice, bitter and unrested? With his hair cut short, with pain in his eyes? After reading TSOA, this came off as very unsettling to me. Where was Patroclus? What had happened?

And then I had a thought.

What if Patroclus’s soul still hadn’t reached the Underworld? At that point, he might had been sitting with Thetis by Troy’s shore for over 3000 years, telling his story. With his soul still unburied and unrested. That’s why Achilles was like that: half of his soul was missing. He couldn’t sleep without Patroclus next to him, he was still waiting, with nothing but an empty promise of glory on his mind. He couldn’t find peace even in death. That before The Battle of Manhattan, when Thetis saw all the pain of the Trojan war being repeated all over again and she couldn’t bear it anymore. That’s when she had mercy on Patroclus and wrote his name on the tombstone. That’s when Achilles’s soul could finally rest, now whole, weightless and unbroken.

Some TSOA headcanons because I can't sleep!

(it's 1:15 AM -_-)

Achilles, Patroclus, Automedon, Briseis, Odysseus and Diomedes are all one big friend group (Yes, no one dies).

During the wedding, Briseis was Patroclus's groomslady and Automedon was Achilles's best man.

Sometimes they would visit Odysseus in Ithaca, and Penelope would tell them stories by the fireplace while Odysseus beamed at his wife with love in his eyes.

Thetis visits Achilles like usual, and sometimes asks for Patroclus, and tries hard to hide the fact that she'd begun to care for her son's husband too.

Briseis offered to be the surrogate for Achilles and Patroclus, but they denied, because they want to adopt children.

Diomedes hosts drinking parties in his palace and invites them all — Achilles gets hella drunk and Patroclus has to hold him up; Briseis is a crazy dancer while drunk, Automedon refuses to drink and Odysseus drinks a modest amount, having light banter with Diomedes.

Achilles trained their child to aim by teaching the child to throw spears at a picture of Agammemnon (extra points if the child gets his throat).

Odysseus has Penelope's name tattooed over his heart — he would boast about it to anyone who listens.

Patroclus suffers from depression.

Penelope is a mother figure for Achilles, Patroclus, Automedon and Briseis.

Automedon has PTSD from when he saw Hector stab Patroclus (he survived, obviously).

Automedon is asexual.

Patroclus sometimes calls Achilles Pyrrha, just to see the embarassment on his face.

Achilles would take any opportunity to flex his muscles to Patroclus — he just loves seeing his husband blush.

Patroclus continues referring to himself as Chironides. He doesn't tell Chiron, but little does he know that Chiron knows it too, and secretly loves it.

Chiron sends spears to Achilles every year on his birthday.

Patroclus continued working in the field of surgery, teaching basic care to his child as well. Achilles refuses to learn though. "It's boring", "Why do I have to learn it when you are here."

And that's it! Feel free to add more headcanons :)

scarlett sun

Demigod!Ellie x Human!reader

The song of Achilles x the first disciple inspired au!

Angst?

cw: major character death, Mentions of gore and war

Ellie never thought about you the way she thought about her path. Obscure thoughts of greatness came like crashing waves on the tormented ocean.

She knew she ought to become more than her mare physical form, she wasn’t like no other human, she was better than them, still, she thought of you as the brightest light in her life.

A light that sent to sleep years of growing pain, years of loneliness. You were the only one for her, greater than the sea, brighter than the sun.

Her only love.

Ever.

But she couldn’t just let it go, the screams of the people, cheering for her after winning the battle, after ending the lives of those who never stood a chance on her presence.

Your heart aching with the same passion her own carried, her fiery veins carried blue blood that came with incredible strength, the fastest state of being, efficient enough for battle.

You loaded the aftermath of those nights. Painful aches all over her, for she had still a human like body, her virtues hurt her bones, teared her flesh and stretched to brake her muscles, there was no way around, everything need a valance and for her, that was pain.

She killed with awareness her mind chased down, crimson mirrors of blood, pools she entered knowing damn well what she was there for.

And damn her for she didn’t wanted to hurt.

Nor them

Nor her.

But mostly not you.

Never the less, the thirst for applause was greater than the torture it meant. Praises of her name rushed to her head, drugging all capabilities of stopping, not turning back.

And so you conform to the agony of seeing her like that, she won't stop.

she can't.

too stubborn to think of herself like the saviour of this people, and even if the tales told her story as the glory of a girl who fought till they win, the end didn’t end with her being praised, the prophecy talked about her clock worked death, chaos and blood would fall heavy and hot upon the ones who spilled crimson tears to each other.

And sorrow would follow her tortured lover.

Her glory would follow after her agonising decay, no human would ever be able to feel that much hurt in such long time, and to purify her for her sins, to sit on the throne above humans, she would endure it.

Her only regret.

She has to lose you, her only, her everything, she was going to give you up.

And you knew.

And she was aware that you did.

But why was you still here with her, mending her wounds, taking her seemingly fragile body in your worked hands, curing her the way only you could.

She hated how much you loved her, how passionately, an intensity that mirrored her own.

But how come a human can feel this deep? This desperately? This immensely?

The intensity of you roaring heart burnt her every time she thought of the end, your blazing love powered by a blinding admiration and understanding, you both lost everyone but yourselves, however, Ellie still found the joy in the blaring people.

And if it wasn't for the fact that you are always there, she would've already choose them.

She would've chosen the earthly glory.

Thankfully you never left, to her dismay, she was horrified for what she would make you go through, but when you hold her like she was all it ever existed, the answer to all unknown, the reality written in the stars she felt real.

She felt human

And when you kiss her like she means more than her future, like she is completely and only ever your lover, her hands can't keep to herself.

She is always eager to return the effort you give her, wondering hands and igniting chests, booming against each other for any ounce of friction.

And in the love filled nights she would only ever think of you, you on her mind, creating only thoughts of you.

It was her favourite moments.

But happiness don’t last forever, and as the sun emerged with her orange colours that tinted all around, so did the ground beneath, red hues crowned the white sand underneath.

When your eyes opened wide in fear for the screams that encountered the heavy scarlet droplets of an unexpected battle.

Ellie was already out.

And so you adorned your body in fabric, no time to protect you with an outside shell.

You ran outside, for something told you this was the end.

And maybe if you could chase her down, scape down the rivers and head to the north.

Hell you might as well scape earth, you would try.

But she won't follow, you thought that the physical scape could free her from a spiritual realm.

And you almost had her, you really did, wide eyes of surprise lightened you with bright desire from the deepest parts of yourself to her.

Like extending her fire to you.

But that fire was choked down, like a wild animal strangled by a boa, your lungs gave in the pain.

A striking force from behind your back revealed a blade as long as an arm.

The sword cut your flesh so easily like a dagger on paper.

And even if she had unhuman abilities, her running to you wasn’t fast enough.

Your life was draining out of you, like a fast poison purring in your veins, it ached your body in ways you had never felt.

But it wasn’t the blade that was tormenting your chest, it was her eyes, her agitated state to get as fast to you as she could.

But she never did.

She almost felt the warm of your skin leaving behind a grey ghost of your body.

But she couldn’t even touch you for the last time.

They took her first, and left you behind by the sea shore.

Salty water claiming your body.

Salty tears exasperating the wrath Ellie had become.

And when she felt you gone.

When the sea took you in peace…

Like you were theirs.

And not hers…

Marauders and Books I think they would read

Part 1

Sirius Black & James Potter: as I mentioned in a previous post, they would be the biggest PJO kids. Fantasy books about a kid who also got ADHD like them? Love it! Sirius calling Remus his Annabeth and Starchaser being solangleo for a costume party. James is so Will and Reggie is his Nico (sun anybody?)

Sirius’ mother spawning point is a b¡tch and would probably never let him read that so when at Hogwarts James introduced the books to him he liked them alot.

Regulus Black: The Song of Achilles. He would definitely read a bunch of Greek mythology because it’s extremely poetic and beautiful and very very gay. His mother would never let him read queer books yet her homophonic mind would see Greek Mythology as very cultural.

(trans!reg)

I think he would especially enjoy the royal twink who had to pretend to be a girl for a while to please and avoid his mother, who fell in love with a warrior with a gold heart. He would absolutely stan the fact that in ancient Greece it was said that when Apollo was drunk he sometimes created people with the “wrong” Genitalia.

Yuki, Kai, Lloyd, Zane:

You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers

More poignant than fame or the taste of another

But be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker

You will not be more than a rat in the gutter

You want my opinion, my opinion you've got

You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts

Be done with this now and jump off the roof

Can you hear me, Achilles? I'm talking to you

Nya, Jay, Cole:

it's not worth it, Achilles

don't listen, Achilles

you're worth more, Achilles

so much more than a rat

no one asked your opinion

no one asked for your thoughts

be done with this now and get off the roof

Can you hear me, Achilles? I'm talking to you

If Achilles is a dog, he is a greyhound. Greyhounds ran fast. Patroclus is a border collie, because a king or a prince is the shepherd of men. The second in command of a shepherd is a herding dog

Since Greek Tumblr really seems to like the TSOA/PJO combos, I have a new headcanon-

The campers of Camp Halfblood are all aware of the collection of trinkets Chiron has decorated his office in the Big House with. Historic artifacts lie on shelves among old vinyls and books, each one telling it's own story. Although one thing that sticks out from the rest of the collection, all associated with academia throughout the centuries, is a rock.

Not a generic gray rock, but a pretty polished rose quartz.

Many campers tried to figure out why the rock was there. Some thought it had a magical purpose. Others thought the old centaur just really liked that rock in specific. Although none of the theories were anywhere close to actually what happened.

And now we go back to 2000 years prior, before the modern west we know and love. With western civilization once again relocating to a different part of the world, Chiron, the famed mentor was forced to relocate to train a new generation of heroes elsewhere. Before making the descent from Mount Pelion, he chipped off one of the small rose crystals from the wall with a chisel, to keep as a token of the past and a memory of two of his favorite pupils who once marveled at it through boy-hood and never returned home to be embraced by it's warmth.

Gods I'm thinking about Chris/Clarisse/Silena/Beckendorf polycule so much

Rereading scenes from tlo and why they're much smaller moments, it just feels so much like they were all together-

The way he trails off?? The way Thaila stepped in quickly in a way you see people do to rush things along when someone I obviously upset?

Like, just in general the idea of Clarisse falling in love with two who technically worked for Luke? And who suffered from that? And just- ugh

Chris is also seen with Clarisse comforting Silena after Beckendorf's death. And just the whole time he seems like he's trying to keep it together for all of them.

I know it probably me over-analyzing,but let's be honest that's most of my post hdhdf

Also, just think about Chris having known about Silena, and kept it to himself cause he knew the position she was in.

We see him described as looking "guilty" with Beckendorf's death, and overall just love the idea of Silena and him bounding. Her using her charmspeak to pull him out of panic attacks and him supporting her through dealing with Luke

I just 😭

I know I seen some people tend to use the Achilles and Patroclus parrels with Ruegard as a way to say that Clarisse didn't romantically love Chris by comparing him to Briseis but???

Like- wouldn't that be the other way around then???

Also over all its not a great comparison cause Chris was a guy they rescued unlike Briseis who was a literal trophy wife.

Like she was a prisoner of war, that Achilles literally got upset over being taken away from him. Like the Achilles and Patroclus and Clarisse and Silena thing is fair but like...Briseis was literally forced to be with the greeks. Chris wasn't. He wanted nothing to do with Luke or Kronos anymore.

Literally the chariot thing in the books? That's a comparison between Achilles vs Agamemmon and Clarisse vs Michael in a lot less uncomfortable way

Cause they're fighting over Briseis,a human, like the Ares and Apollo cabin fight over the chariot.

Actually, it's because of Apollo ironically that they ended up there.

BECAUSE AGAMEMMON WAS UPSET HE HAD TO GIVE ANOTHER GIRL BACK TO A PRIEST OF APOLLO AFTER APOLLO PLAGUED THE GREEKS.

SO HE TOOK ACHILLES' TROPHY WIFE INSTEAD

Like, yes there's comparisons, but this is another case of ancient heroes vs modern heroes theme I could go on about hdhdf

Clarisse and Silena

both are Reincarnations of Patroclus and Achilles what I mean by that is half of those two lovers souls were reincarnated into the two campers you could not convince me otherwise.

also I imagine the reason why Clarisse is like so like closed off and very aggressive is because a lot of people judge her for her father and for his domains specifically and what that entails.

so it always rubbed her the wrong way and Silena and Chris were like the only two that ever treated her like a person it actually gave her a chance so she defends those people with her life.

also Ares had to restrain her because she tried to kill Percy and Piper because she was so blindsided by her wrath and her emotions that she thought those two were on the side of Kronos.
