Almost (Sweet Music) by Khrysopos
Fandoms: The Song of Achilles - Madeline Miller, Ancient Greek Religion & Lore
05 Jan 2026

Summary
Everyone in all of mighty Achaea knows of how protective and proud Menoetius is of his only son — so much so that it reflects in the boy's very name — Patroclus. Pride of the father. The boy has been a revered figure since the very day of his birth, given he is an omega in a land where his kind are not only worshipped but are also rarely descended from royal families because of their very strong alpha lineage.
Now eighteen, and eligible for marriage, suitors begin visiting the grand walls of Opus to have a chance to catch a look at the prince, and possibly gain his hand. Menoetius gives his son the leave to choose his husband, but it does not mean he will make it easy for anyone to just whisk him away. So he plucks a few pages out of books of older traditions and revives "Athlos" — a series of games that had once been held in the honour of omegas, to allow them to see and select the best of the alphas for themselves. To separate the wheat from the chaff.
Menoetius watches mighty princes trip over each other for his Patroclus. For him, it is a challenge — a dare to see who could take away his precious son from him. He already sees himself as the victor.
What he does not expect is the Prince of Phthia.

The odds of this updating are low but never zero. Looove a good Sentinel AU! It has such a good start for how the AOS verse would be with Jim as a Sentinel and Spock as a (his) Guide.

Summary

5 Facts About Rising Star Neil Josten, Lead in Newest Reynolds Film
1. Neil starred in his first commercial when he was just six years old–remember a kid with bright blue eyes and a milkstache? Yeah, that was him.
2. He graduated early with honours and received scholarships for 4 of the top schools in the country before ultimately deciding on Columbia University. Intelligence is so hot.
3. Neil is to be up for his first Academy Award just three years into his career as a full-time actor. Talent or prodigy? Either way, we will be sat!
4. He’s a polyglot! Neil says his family has ties all over the world, which means he learned multiple languages at a young age. He’s fluent in English, Dakhóta, French, German and is currently teaching himself Spanish. Siri, how do you say “he’s too good to be true” in French?
5. Rumour has it he and infamous actor Andrew Minyard do not get on, yet staff on-set have said the two can’t help but pick on each other. Frenemies? Bromance? We’re dying to know.

Summary
Andrew Minyard has just signed on with a new team so that he can support his twin and his twin's wife as they begin their residency and get ready to welcome his nieces into the world. He may not give a shit about Exy, but it does pay well.
The Atlanta Wolves are paying him well enough to ignore the awkward tension of having to play with one of his college teammates again. The only problem is that Neil Josten has only gotten more interesting since the last time Andrew saw him when Andrew graduated from Palmetto State University.

Neil is the most attractive person Andrew has ever seen in his entire life. Too bad that Andrew can't express that fact (not opinion) properly to him. It all should be fine, it's not like Neil doesn't know he's hot, right?

Summary
A hand grasped his arm, sending a brief thrill down Merlin's nerves as he was forced around to face the person behind him. Armour gleamed in the firelight: supple chainmail glinted, and the solid iron of a pauldron curved lovingly over one broad shoulder. The length of a sword blade separated them. The point hovered, steady and sure, over Merlin's heart, braced to run him through, but he did not care about any of that. He was too busy drinking in the sight of the man before him.
He could never forget him, no matter how many centuries had passed.
'Arthur?'
When Merlin ultimately fails in his destiny, the fading remnants of magic that linger in the modern world fling him not just back in time, but sideways as well. He ends up in a Camelot where all his friends are alive, well and aware of his magic.
He ends up in a Camelot where his alternate self died almost a year ago.
Can he, Arthur and their friends still forge the golden age he was once promised, or will grief and suspicion tear them apart?

Summary
Neil had a lot of secrets. He didn’t want much in life except to live quietly, run his botanical store, upload TikToks covering plant care, and for not a single person to find out that he’s the best-selling author N.A.J who published one book anonymously five years prior and disappeared. His life takes a turn when his literary agent tracks him down for a follow-up book with the theme of feeling settled and at peace. Two things Neil is not.
Thus begins his journey of planting roots in a town he’s lived in for years, starting with making friends with people who have tried to bring him into their circle. As Neil gets closer to them and his secrets become less guarded, there’s still that one big secret he intends on taking to his grave. But the closer he gets to his friends the closer he unknowingly gets to that secret being revealed.

Summary
The sight of a small figure gently stroking Harry’s hair had him freezing in his tracks. His wand was out at once.
“Stop!” he barked, fear making his voice tight. Enormous, watery blue eyes turned to peer at him and he lowered his wand a little. A shuddering breath escaped him. He swallowed. “Hello, Dobby.”
“Hello, Draco Malfoy,” Dobby said mournfully, turning to look back at Harry and stroke his hair. “We is needing to get Harry Potter into a proper bed.”—
It had been a mistake, but it was easily the worst one of Draco’s life. He might never be able to atone for it, but trying to started with this: keeping an unconscious Harry safe and protected from the outside world at Spinners End. Snape had warned him that after what had happened, Harry might never wake, and that if he did, he wouldn’t be the same. It didn’t matter to Draco though. He would stay till the end, no matter what that end might be.

Summary
Not quite a decade after the war, Draco Malfoy was happy with his quiet little Muggle life in Oxford. He had a small group of friends from the university he’d attended, and colleagues from the law firm where he worked as a solicitor. He played folk music on his violin around the city. And he volunteered to provide legal services getting mostly idiot teenagers out of trouble with the law.
His life was full. He had no contact with the magical world, and all was the way he liked it. And the feeling of emptiness in his chest, the feeling some part of him was missing, was at least better than the alternative. Or at least it was until the last few months when he kept getting called down to the police station to get Harry Potter out of trouble. Indecent exposure and possession was one thing, but the latest charge was for murder.
OR
Harry and Draco find each other again after the war in Oxford, a completely non-magical city. Together they solve the mystery of the city which hates all wizards but them.
