#in the wise words of Ma'am Rose to Ma'am Tania in the 2008 film Mamma Mia:

[llart]

i write patroclus and achilles as two exes who didn’t end on good terms (duh) but when reunited are in full understanding that have broken up, but can’t let go of the fact that they still love each other very much.

in the hgw im ‘’writing’’ with a friend, coz Achilles is summoned as the Rider in that war-- Achilles throws himself wholeheartedly at Patroclus. Disobeying his Master, and all that just to spend time w/ his ex who’s taking care of a 10 year old boy who doesnt know anything about the war. and Patroclus just doing his best to not snap. Which, he’s very good at that yep. bottling his emotions up ayep ayep
