i have imagined a thousand lives that i would live when he is gone,
but none of them bore enough happiness
to make his death worth everything the prophecies spoke of.
ah, i thought,
there would be nothing left for me in this world.
i turn to my side and watch him sleep.
my love, i will follow you in death.

heed my woeful cries, oh patroclus!
do not leave me such;
flash your kind, gentle eyes,
warm lips i long to touch;
help my memories stay upright
let your face be a reminder, a crutch,
of the shunned truths, the dreadful lies;
these bloody seas and angry skies,
without you, it is all too much.
- achilles, perhaps.

Afterwards, when Agamemnon would ask him when he would confront the prince of Troy, he would smile his most guileless, maddening smile. “What has Hector ever done to me?”
Tumblr media
I forced my voice to match his in lightness. “I’m sure you’re right. After all, Hector hasn’t done anything to you.”
Tumblr media
My head drops back against the ground, and the last image I see is of Hector, leaning seriously over me, twisting his spear inside me as if he is stirring a pot. The last thing I think is: Achilles.
Tumblr media
“Hector is dead,” he says. “Tomorrow.”
Tumblr media
Achilles’ gaze lifts to meet hers. She is afraid, but does not draw back. “I hope that Hector kills you.”
The breath rasps in his throat. “Do you think I do not hope the same?” he asks.
Tumblr media
And I think: do not fear for Troy. It is only Hector that he wants. Hector, and Hector alone. When Hector is dead, he will stop.

Can someone for the love of god please tell me why I’ve cried over patrochilles more than any other ship??? Like they got their happy ending but the moments before that were so devastating to me that like if I think about it too hard I genuinely start it cry??? Hello????

This one's for all my Greek mythology fans.
I believe these were Achilles' thoughts after Patroclus' passing. I like to think he died in the battlefield the next day.

i think of your mother and how she had whisked you away from my embrace that night in your room; how she had taken you from our solitude, in silence, and left nothing for me to speculate — i have realized, then, that this was how it would be when you are gone.
i have contested her, a lesser god but a divinity nevertheless, and in return, she had given me a taste of death.

Achilles’ eyes were bright in the firelight, his face drawn sharply by the flickering shadows. I would know it in dark or disguise, I told myself. I would know it even in madness.
The Song of Achilles, Madeline Miller

As he spoke, the blond finally broke his focused gaze and eyed Patroclus. His eyes were gently set, unbothered, and wondering. Patroclus found himself engrossed in them, unable to break away until he snapped himself out of it, scratching the back of his neck from his awkwardness. The blond smirked like he was amused.
“What’s your name?” He said finally.
Patroclus hesitated, then answered haphazardly. “Patroclus.”
“Pa-tro-clus,” the blond repeated, the words flowing elegantly as each syllable rang. Patroclus could feel blush radiate his cheeks from his recitation- he had heard his name said before but it felt prettier now, full of the sweetness of a pastry with all the zest of a lemon.
