Summary
Aristos Achaion, they called him. Plucked from the spilled blood between Thetis’ thighs and granted a prophecy by the Gods. He flashed past the other boys, quick as an intake of breath, and Peleus’ face shone. Menoetius turned to Patroclus.
“That is what a son should be.”

For the prompt: "a take on their relationship from another person's POV." Five times Achilles and Patroclus were the subject of observation during their lives, + one time they weren't.Bookmarked by Pat1506mess

Summary
Achilles/Patroclus. When Patroclus, the clumsy son of a disappointed father, is exiled to Phthia for fostering, he feels totally justified in his dislike for the king's son. After all, who could possibly tolerate someone so arrogant, so narcissistic, and so wholly and completely everything that he wants to be? Rated M for later chapters.

Summary
“Do you think we would be like this, if we saw each other every day?”
The question broke the silence between them, and it took Patroclus a moment to digest the words.
“What do you mean?”
“If you had been born here, as I was. And you weren’t a shepherd… we’d meet at school or during a festival...” Achilles swung his head over to look at him. “Would we still be friends?”
Patroclus nodded. “I would like to think so.”
Achilles smiled, it was small and didn’t reach his eyes. “We’d grow up together.”
[Patroclus is a shepherd who visits the city of Phthia once a year to do business, where he meets Achilles, the mayor's son and they form a fast friendship that even distance cannot diminish.]

Summary
The sole harpist in the university's music department gets expelled, leaving Patroclus's group missing a vital member for their final recital that will launch their careers. There is only one other person Patroclus knows who can play the harp. Unfortunately, said person is Achilles—the star swimmer of the university and beyond, who has a publicly unknown talent on the harp, and a largely unknown history with Patroclus.
