Summary
After centuries apart, two lost souls find each other again within a small glade in a secluded corner of Elysium. Achilles faces his fears, finding himself face to face with the one he had loved above all else when he was alive. Patroclus learns that perhaps not all hope is lost.
Their eyes locked, two beacons of light finding their way to one another. Patroclus’ eyes, soft and brown like the pelt of a doe, rich and anchoring like the depths of the ocean melted like honey through the gaps of his fingers. They searched his face, flitting this way and that as if there was something that he couldn’t find. His face slackened, desperately morose, the way he often got when they were discussing matters beyond their comprehension as children on the jutting mountainside of Pelion and men on the shores of Troy.
Achilles’ name left his lips in a breath. Hushed and barely discernible above the gentle current of the Lethe. Yet the word echoed deep in his eardrums, ricocheted off the walls of his skull, rattled across the valleys of his ribcage.

Summary
“Madman,” the priest stutters hoarsely, his grey mane whipped by the furious wind. “You will doom us all.”
“Then doomed we shall be.”
Achilles turns to the sea. It churns angrily far below him, as if in answer to him.
“Until they bring back my beloved, they are no gods of mine.”
After the loss of Patroclus, Achilles commits such blasphemy that the gods deny him the right to die. He wanders the Earth for centuries, trying to find his beloved again.
But when he does, his love doesn’t remember him.

Summary
They were never supposed to meet. A Trojan healer. A Greek prince. A war born of gods, dragged through blood and prophecy. But what begins as a chance encounter becomes something stranger—something sacred. In the shadows of plague and siege, Patroclus and Achilles find each other again and again, even as the world crumbles around them.

Summary
Hedonist that he is, Lestat has never particularly cared to be held to the constraints of a schedule. Louis may enjoy the routine and predictability of something as prosaic as the requirements of managing a business–one of his many little idiosyncrasies that Lestat simultaneously enjoys and is frequently irritated by–but for him? Non. He can enjoy the artistry of a well-planned ball or the satisfaction of a business deal well-struck, but he’s always enjoyed the freedom of not quite knowing what’s coming next. In a long, long life, it’s far too easy to fall into a rut and find oneself constrained to it for decades before noticing.
Even with his taste for surprise, however, Louis holding out a tiny, sooty, sniffling child is a shock he is not best pleased by.
He flicks his eyes up from the big-eyed, dripping moppet, raising a brow and feeling his lip curl slightly in distaste. The child reeks of smoke and fear and God only knows what else.
“Put it back,” he says flatly.
(AU based on the idea of Louis finding Claudia at the age of five like in the book but raising her until she's old enough to be changed) (marked complete because each chapter can stand alone but will be updated)

Summary
The prophecy has not been fulfilled. The gods have failed him. He lives, while Hector doesn't. Nor does Patroclus. What life shall it be when you are incomplete, unspooled, disjointed? The gods spared his flesh, yet his soul lies torn to shred beside Patroclus.
Or:
Achilles is trapped in a world that refuses to let him go. Desperate to reunite with Patroclus in death, he strikes a deal with forces older than the gods: ancient Chronos, youthful Kairos, and primordial Ananke. There is, of course, a condition.
