Summary
In a secluded place under the summer sky, funerals are discussed.
__
The night was humid; the grass was wet with dew. The chirps of frogs and crickets filled the air. The two of them had found this spot a month ago while trying to find a quiet place to talk. It was a short walk from the school, hidden by old twisting pine trees.

Summary
How could he deserve such gentle hands? Such kindness, when all he had brought to Hephaistion’s life was misery and hardship. Was their union a blessing? Or perhaps a curse, because surely this would be ripped away from him as well.

Lestat walked back over and handed the test to Louis, still in its cloth, swaddled like a newborn. Louis looked. The word Pregnant sat looking up at him. Oh. Hm.

Summary
Young Hephaistion and Alexander are obviously into each other, but they don’t seem to muster the courage to make a move about it. A simple shift in the prince’s behavior stirs up trouble among the pages, creating quite the scandal as every boy immediately starts to court him.
Turns out King Philip’s strategies work outside of the battlefield as well.(or: Teenage boys were a handful in Ancient Macedon as well.)

Summary
Pat is an overlooked nurse at Atalanti General Hospital. His days are filled with appointments, assisting doctors and caring for the unwell.
Until someone attempts to assassinate President Atremenos.
What follows is not definable, as Pat's anonymity comes to an end and he is thrust upon a pedestal like he is a king amongst nobles by some of the highest echelons in Greek politics. Pat struggles with becoming the apparent centre of the world, but more importantly...
Why do these people keep asking for his name when he has given it three times already?

Summary
Achilles tilts his chin up defiantly, in an effort to stare Patroclus down. He only succeeds in looking like a petulant child. “It is considered a great honour to be a therapon to a prince, you know.”
“Honour is meant to be earned, not handed out as if to a beggar, or a dog.”
Achilles’ nostrils flare, his green-gold eyes gleaming dangerously. “Such scorn from someone who was training to be a common footsoldier just this morning. Many of the boys back at the yard would beg for this chance.”
“Then you should have chosen one of them, perhaps." Patroclus glances down at the expensive chiton and his brand new arms, and hates how heavy and foreign they feel on him. “I didn’t ask for any of this.”
The last thing Patroclus wants is to become therapon to the Prince of Phthia. He had his fill of princelings back when he lived in Opus—hell, he used to be one himself. He doesn't need some stuck-up demigod to size him up and appoint him his glorified manservant. He'd much rather pass, thank you very much.
Achilles, however, is unlike any prince he's ever met.

He’s on top of you. He’s next to you, right next to you in fact.
He has the softest skin wrapped entirely around him.
It isn’t him.Richard Siken, The Dislocated Room
