Summary
On the 'civilized' world of Ctenophora, the forces of the World Eaters and 76th Lacus Hellwalkers battle against a vile slaver empire that wields the power of genetic manipulation against its victimized masses. To the primarch Angron and General Areshkar Ulver Sarkal, this war feels personal, pushing both men to confront the ghosts of their respective pasts. When the otherwise smooth campaign rapidly falls apart and leaves both commanders cut off from their forces, they must rely on each other to brave not only Ctenophora's cruel lands, but their own broken minds as well.

Summary
Inspired by the ‘time travel revenge’ manwha trope, this story begins several years after the Dance. The former queen, Alicent, sits in confinement and full of regret, waiting for death. That is until she’s given a chance to go back in time to the year she married King Viserys and do it all over. With every intention of changing her fate, she might well be doomed to repeat the same mistakes as she is impeded at every turn by a familiar face who has received their own second chance.

Love Songs in the Land of the Dead by Habur

Summary
On a sunny afternoon, Achilles wakes up on the shores of the Elysian Fields Resort with no memory of how he got there. Meanwhile, Patroclus goes through the motions at a convenience store in Asphodel. Neither has any clue of the other's existence - until one night together changes everything.
The next morning, Achilles is in for a rude awakening: not only is Patroclus missing, but they're both dead! Determined to find Patroclus before time runs out, Achilles embarks on a journey through the Underworld, encountering unlikely friends along the way - a 1950s music legend, an artist who tattoos memories, and a garbage collector with amnesia - each unaware of the strange ways their lives were intertwined in the past.
A tale of chance encounters, lost memories, and an adventure into the unknown.

Summary
Hades gameverse amnesia AU. Patroclus drinks from the River Lethe and loses his memories of Achilles. Achilles attempts to woo him all over again, now with personal growth and wisdom on his side. But it turns out not to be so simple when the fame and reputation he acquired in life contrast with the man that he has become as well as the man that Patroclus always saw in him.
With memories of life and the afterlife interwoven between a slowburn romance, this fic is a canon divergence story, a canon compliant pre-canon story, and an Iliad retelling all in one.

Summary
“So you really think you’ll do it, do you?” His mother asks him.
“What do you mean?”
“With all those space theories. The ones you were talking about back there.”
“Oh,” he says, not quite sure what to say. “I mean, I would like it to.”
“You would?”
Yes, he wants to say. Because the earth is boiling, and the ground is turning into dust, and Bri is sick from it. Everyone is sick from it.
(He thinks, if we don’t leave, there won’t be anyone left to save.)

you're a walking disaster, and yet— by Johaerys

Summary
—I'll follow in your wake.
"You'll meet my son, Achilles, soon," Mr Pelides told Patroclus on their drive there. "You two will get along just fine. He's as wild as they come, though." The indulgent pride with which he said the words made them sound almost like a compliment. "Don’t let him talk you into anything."
Patroclus blushed as he swore, with strong conviction, that he would absolutely not do that. No sir.
He knows better than that.
Or: Achilles is a threat and a menace. As they grow up together, Patroclus falls for him anyway.

Summary
Achilles lets out a derisive scoff. He is sprawled on the bed, golden hair cascading over his shoulder like a Renaissance work of art. "All work and no play makes Pat a dull boy," he drawls.
“Some of us do have to work, you know,” Patroclus says snidely, “for you to be able to tour Europe for months with your girlfriend.”
A year ago, Achilles left to study abroad, while Patroclus stayed behind to work at the family company. Now, just as Patroclus gets ready for the most important work trip of his career, Achilles decides to come along for the ride without asking. After not having seen each other for so long, the friendship they once had is hanging by a thread... while the tension that neither of them wants to acknowledge is heavier than ever.

Or: Achilles makes fun of rom-coms and karma is served to him in the form of Patroclus, who drags him right into one

Summary
Overwatch can be forgiven for keeping Hanzo at arm's length despite the endorsement of his intended murder victim. Six months of provisional membership, spent in the field, is a reasonable compromise.
But not everyone is on board with giving Hanzo a chance.
Cassidy, least of all.
