blinded by my fate, i could not prevent your fall
Greek mythology; Achilles/Patroklos
PG; 1144 words
Even without the promise of glory, love would have been enough to bring Achilles to Ilium.

For Yuletide 2011, to filia_noctis. Thanks so much to chiasmus for looking this over and helping me with all sorts of random background/context/setting questions!

ohh this is gorgeous. Your voice is lovely goes flawlessly with 2nd person and aaaaa. There were so many lines that just suckerpunched me with ~*feelings*~, especially:

This is a price you would have refused to pay, had you known. and Your names will be sung together even when Ilium is no more than an expanse of barren, dead earth, an empty name passed down the generations.

Just. I can't. ;A;

Also, I've never seen a fic really emphasize the fact that Patroclus wouldn't have been able to leave even if Achilles had, and I LOVE that you included that. <3

haha, I must have been in this fandom for too long! XD It seems like such an obvious thing to me, so I'm surprised (but pleased!) to hear that it's not commonly seen in fic! XD

Thank you so much for this lovely comment! I'm really happy that you enjoyed the fic ♥
