We Were Like Gods At The Dawning Of The World, And Our Joy Was So Bright We Could See Nothing Else But

“We were like gods at the dawning of the world, and our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other”

oh, achilles

They tell me you drifted upon the banks of the Styx every day after you died, staring across that dark expanse. They say you wasted away, drowning yourself in your own sorrow.

But now, as I watch you turn towards me, wide-eyed and hopeful, I cannot help but think that you are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

“Patroclus,” you gasp, not daring to believe your eyes.

“Achilles,” I breathe.

Then suddenly we are running, colliding into each other’s arms, and it is like the universe sighs. We fit together as the Fates always intended.

I am home, home in your musician’s hands, your bleeding heart, the spun gold of your hair. You smell of the salty wind of Phthia’s shores. I cannot remember the last time you smiled like this, happy and carefree and so, so bright.

Oh, won’t you smile for me, love, this moment and the next and all the eternities after that?

You kiss me, your lips sweet against mine, and I am alive again.

Did you know they made myths of us, dearest? They call us doomed, cursed, a tragedy.

But it is not a tragedy, the fire in your eyes and the way you laugh. We are more than a tragedy.

Long, long ago, you swore to me that you would be happy. Let that be so now.

I will be your reason.

We have our forever at last, Achilles.

Thank you so much, this is literally what I needed to hear rn 😭

It’s crazy how low self-worth fucks with peoples lives

🐸

THIS PART HAD ME ON THE FLOOR, LAUGHING, CRYING, DYING OMFG

THIS SCENE IS DEPICTED BEAUTIFULLY

"‘If you ever leave me again,’ she said, her eyes stinging, ‘I swear to all the gods –’ Percy had the nerve to laugh. Suddenly the lump of heated emotions melted inside Annabeth."

I thought I would jump back on tumblr and start sharing my recent art, in case anyone isn't on IG <3
