    Summary

    “Madman,” the priest stutters hoarsely, his grey mane whipped by the furious wind. “You will doom us all.”

    “Then doomed we shall be.” 

    Achilles turns to the sea. It churns angrily far below him, as if in answer to him. 

    “Until they bring back my beloved, they are no gods of mine.”

    After the loss of Patroclus, Achilles commits such blasphemy that the gods deny him the right to die. He wanders the Earth for centuries, trying to find his beloved again.

    But when he does, his love doesn’t remember him.

    Summary

    Achilles looked at him silently. He had an expression on his face that Patroclus could not quite place. It was a mixture of torment and muted searching, like he trying to solve the puzzle of the plain features of Patroclus’ face. 

    “No,” Achilles said in a solid voice. “My Patroclus is still here. I can see him, inside of you. I was wrong when I said you were dead to me, I can sense that his soul still lingers in this body,” Achilles gaze turned dangerous, his pupils thin, and Patroclus felt a shiver of something running down his spine. “I know you are there, Patroclus. I am determined to bring you back.”

    Or, the one where college student Patroclus travels back in time, falls in love and changes the course of history forever
