Fics like High-Flying Birds

Achilles, the sun casting its last rays around his head like a halo, resplendent and aureate. Achilles, the soles of his feet flashing pink as he sprints across the beach. Achilles, slender fingers plucking the strings of his lyre, eyes green like fresh pressed olives. His cat's smile. "Guess what I'm thinking about," he says. The robin that flew over our heads but a minute past. The dream he had last night of a ship with purple sails, its prow slicing the waves of the Aegean sea. The wooden amulet that hangs about the augur's neck. This and this and this. "I'll be the first hero to be happy," he would tell me years later. "You're the reason." A collection of all the scenes we didn't get to see in The Song of Achilles. Follows the timeline of the book.
