Tags: i got 'swift footed' and i'm crying with laughter You are swift-footed [your name]. This is the same epithet Homer used to describe Achilles roughly eight thousand times over the course of the Iliad and even a few times in the Odyssey. (You’ll remember “swift-footed” Achilles as that guy who took an arrow to the ankle during the Trojan War and died. Good luck with that.) FIRST OF ALL: I PHYSICALLY CANNOT RUN BECAUSE LUNG ISSUES SECOND OF ALL: THE RUNNING JOKE WITH LAURENS IS THAT PROBABLY I WAS ACHILLES IN A PAST LIFE AND SWAPPED SUPERSPEED FOR NOT BEING A HOMICIDAL WAR PRINCE I'M SCREAMING TSOA CLASSICS

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

achilles owning a shirt that says ‘if lost return to patroclus’ and patroclus owning the ‘i am patroclus’ shirt

i love those shirts because alone they make no sense. You’re patroclus ? good for you man.

It keeps people from thinking he’s Achilles and murdering him

I’m laughing my head off. “There should have been a warning.”

The warning is that it’s a retelling of the fucking Illiad. Honest to God, a story involving one of the most famous same-sex love affairs in the history of literature and there should have been a warning?
