Story added by feyredarling on January 6, 2021

Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. By all rights their paths should never cross, but Achilles takes the shamed prince as his friend, and as they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine their bond blossoms into something deeper - despite the displeasure of Achilles' mother Thetis, a cruel sea goddess. But then word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus journeys with Achilles to Troy, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.read more

Description of Patroclus:

The son of King Menoitius (a second generation Titan). Exiled from his home (where he lost all of his royal titles) for accidentally killing another boy, Patroclus found shelter in Peleus’ court, where he was fostered with Achilles. He has a very gentle and kind heart and constantly regrets/is haunted by his past. In the beginning he is hesitant towards Achilles and slightly resents the prince, but later grows to be his greatest lover and admirer. Although he never cared to train for battle, he is very good with medicine.
