Title: Interpretations
Fandom: Song of Achilles
Summary: Whenever Achilles and Patroclus tire of Elysium, they return to roam the world of the living.
Sometimes they return to wander. Achilles observes with wonder, Patroclus, heartache: diseases that no longer kill, women with the freedom of men, disagreements that don’t end in war. To have been born in this age, he thinks.
He understands this strange thing their language has become over the ages, and other languages besides. He has always had a gift for it. He renders this new retelling of Achilles’ song into their tongue so Achilles may hear it too. Once, Achilles might have spoken eagerly of glory, but when Patroclus closes the book, he simply holds Patroclus’ hand, and is silent.
It also lives on AO3 here.
