Summary
He couldn’t have known. He couldn’t have.
God, did he wish he’d known, though. Because if he had he wouldn’t be sitting on the side of the road cradling his now missing tooth in the palm of his hand and seeing the world blurrily through only one eye.
How was he supposed to have known?

Summary
There was a clamoring outside, indicating the arrival of the soldiers. Machaon and Odysseus shared a quick glance before Machaon said: “You will deal with him, yes? He will get in the way.”
Odysseus sighed. “Must I? Will he not obey you for Patroclus’ sake?”
“Odysseus, you are smarter than this. Please tell me you have not forgotten last time.”
“I do not believe there is a poor soul who was involved that will ever forget that,” he reminisced unhappily.
“And that was only a shallow arrow wound. Imagine if he saw this,” he gestured to the wound with a cock of his head.
or;
Patroclus is injured on the battlefield, thankfully Odysseus is there to get him the help he needs. Cue Achilles freak out.

Summary
Odysseus heard their rumors; their gossip. It was impossible not to. Even so, he’d never before believed their words. Until perhaps this one.
As of recently, the rumor of the hour pertained to the hero of the hour—Achilles.
He had garnered his fair share of attention before now. Have you heard? They would say. He is invulnerable. Listeners would laugh, but believe it nonetheless. And why shouldn’t they? He had never been injured in the year he had resided with the rest of the unlucky. The rumors surrounding him now do not relate to his skill—hardly to him at all—but instead to his unusual closeness with his companion.
or;
5 times Odysseus’ suspicions towards the nature of Achilles and Patroclus’ relationship grew, and the 1 time they were confirmed.

Summary
“Neil Perry never claimed to be the best at speeches, that was awarded to Todd, if he’d stand up and give one. Ever the poet, his husband.
The one day a year he had the chance to give one, Neil had thought it too cocky to write a script. The one day a year he might give one and had no script, he’d been called up in front of the world to give a speech.”
or:
Neil Perry gives an Oscar acceptance speech, and also really loves his husband.
