tweet from serhawke (me): TODAY I LEARNED THAT SONG OF ACHILLES STANS HAVE BEEN GOING VIRAL QUOTING A FANFIC THAT //I WROTE// IN *2015* AND SAYING IT'S FROM THE ORIGINAL TEXT WHEN I TELL YOU I JUST SCREAMED THIS IS SO FUNNY

Left is MY FIC, right is the ACTUAL BOOK QUOTE IT WAS INSPIRED BY

screenshot of Ao3: “Truly? You thought I wouldn’t recognise you?” Achilles murmured, incredulous. Patroclus inclined his head, “I’ve changed, and the masks…” “Patroclus,” Achilles tilted his face up with a gentle finger under his chin. “I would recognise you in total darkness, were you mute and I deaf. I would recognise you in another lifetime entirely, in different bodies, different times. And I would love you in all of this, until the very last star in the sky burnt out into oblivion.” Love you, Patroclus mouthed, bewildered. Then he closed the scarce distance between them to kiss Achilles as he’d always longed to do, hands firmly planted on his chest.
goodreads screenshot: Kaliyah asked what page number is the quote"I could recognize him by touch alone"on? Olivia R. The quote is on page 134. "What had Deidameia thought would happen, I wondered, when she had her women dance for me? Had she really thought I would not know him? I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world."

(Mask context: masquerade ball / cinderella au)

It has been doing numbers EVERYWHERE and I only found out from this lovely person who commented on Ao3:

So yeah I guess if anyone wants to read an 8 year old Song of Achilles fanfic written in a fever dream after watching Into The Woods, be my guest
