littlestartopaz asked: So that makes Steve Patro.... Patty. And Bucky is Achilles? (I can't spell. :x)

Yeah, Patroclus would be default-Steve and Achilles is the unfortunate victim of getting a bit mindwiped.  Which incidentally is not how I would assign those roles if, say for example, I was going to do some kind of reincarnation plot.  Because literally the entire post-CA:TWS plotline can be summed up as “sing, o muse, of the wrath of Steven Grant Rogers when you fuck with Bucky Barnes,” which means that obviously Steve is the golden god-born hero of legend and Bucky is his anchor to mortal life and the cause for great ruin of their many-armed enemy upon his death at their hands.  Complete with Pyrrhic victory.

Tags: asked and answered littlestartopaz a spear in each hand steve is achilles this is not a debate it's just that in this PARTICULAR au achilles gets mindwiped and that makes him by default the winter soldier actually if i wanted to REALLY be the worst i might make it more like being rendered tranquil in dragon age for those of you who both get that reference and have read this far into the tags also if you want to read a great fic with the reincarnation premise i recommend 'sing o muse' literally so much it's so good like wow fuck me all the way up why dontcha ALSO CATCH MY CLASSICAL TRAINING REARING ITS HEAD wow sometimes i look at the way i talk and i'm just WAITING for my mouth to spit out a comment about 'rosy fingered dawn' or 'white-armed dido' or some other 'adjective-nouned person'

On today’s list of impulse decisions, I am rereading The Song Of Achilles. And I reached this. And hear me out here: Winter Soldier AU of the Iliad. With Achilles the weapon and Patroclus who looks into Achilles’ eyes and sees…nothing.

Tags: tsoa the song of achilles achilles patroclus patrochilles otp: this and this and this NO I'M VERY SERIOUS ABOUT THIS and I don't have time to write it rn which is tragic but you should talk to me about it so that I can build up a tag for when I inevitably DO write it the Iliad a spear in each hand that's the tag I have literally 0% of this fic planned out except the one scene of patroclus standing on the shore watching the strange ship with black sails come in and seeing the stranger disembark in his perfect bronze armor ('god-child' whisper the men and patroclus does not hope) and the stranger takes off his helmet and patroclus rushes forward with 'achilles; therapon; philtatos' still in his mouth and achilles does not know him
