Summary
After his death, Achilles finds himself in the underworld. Prepared to face his judgement and eternity, he marches into hell, only to learn that Patroclus never arrived. He sets up vigil outside the gates, and waits.

'Where is he?’ he demanded, his voice breaking against the colossal thrones like a wooden spear against the walls of Troy. The crowd stirred over his shoulder, whispers amongst ghosts, but Achilles paid them no mind.
‘And who do you speak of?’ asked Minos, the barbs of his lashing tongue catching Achilles’s skin, tearing what little remained unmarked. He turned his attention to the last of the judges, and spoke solely to Rhadamanthus.
‘Patroclus.’

Summary
Patroclus stared at his drawing often, studying the lines, the details, finding faults immediately. Not in the man himself, but in the inadequate way Patroclus had captured him. Achilles was like a stream of sunlight through the clouds, there one moment and gone the next; impossible to capture. Pat found himself doodling fiery green eyes on the margins of his notebook during art history class, recalling his stare, the mix of emotions behind it. Each time Patroclus finished, he found they weren’t the same, his memory of Achilles fading and details being replaced with glowing fantasies.
Having a crush on the subject of your Life Drawing class probably wasn’t very ethical, but Patroclus couldn’t tamp it down if he tried. Achilles was too stunning, too invasive; he demanded attention. Pat wondered what Achilles did outside of volunteering for art students, if he was an actual model who posed in front of cameras or strutted on cat walks. Patroclus had to know.

Summary
Patroclus bitterly yet efficiently serves as Crown Prince Achilles' retainer and future Royal Advisor, their friendship long disintegrated into the petty co-dependency it is today. Their lives come to a crashing halt when an engagement journey to Scyros results in a devastating shipwreck, leaving only the two stranded on an island.
Forced together for the sake of survival, both Patroclus and Achilles will find long suppressed emotions rising to the surface- and it turns out, they're stronger than they'd ever thought.
