Summary
Dick Grayson was cold.
He was bright, and he seemed happy to everyone else. As he always was. He didn’t seem different. Dick Grayson was drowning. He was drowning, and he couldn’t tell anyone. He loved his family, he truly loved them. All his siblings, Bruce, Alfred. He loved all their quirks, their flaws, their selves.
And yet, Dick Grayson was cold.
Or,
Dick Grayson is touch starved. Cue a very concerned Jason Todd, and heartfelt conversation.Bookmarked by darkleysgarden

Gut punch after gut punch. I understand Dick so heavily here. He put into words so much of what I feel all the time and that really hits so hard.

Summary
Don’t leave me, Achilles whispers into the crook of Patroclus’ neck, breathing in his familiar scent through the astringent smell of strong wine and the sweetness of the crushed yarrow flowers. Don’t leave me here alone.
Patroclus’ eyelids do not stir; only his ribs expand slightly with each shallow, laboured breath.
Menelaus manages to save Patroclus from Hector, and brings him back to Achilles alive.

FANTASTIC fic
Genuinely did not think I would like it because I do not like football. However, you can tell the author loves football and the passion behind the writing and the way its displayed turns me into a middle aged white man in front of the TV on game day.
This is well written and filled with such depth. There are so many things going on in the best way possible. Patroclus is quite literally me here. Ugh. Just. Its good. I promise it is great. I was addicted to reading this and sped through it very fast. -

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.
