Let's Read Chapter Fifteen of The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller Together

That chapter was sharper even than usual

Awwww, our sweet little story time always comes with sweet little life lessons too 😘 Thank you as always for sharing, I love it more even than usual (!! no, I am with you, a formal twist of the worlds to make you pay closer attention subconsciously probably or someone like me that loves words a little too much but gets lost in them) 🙏 I’ve been savoring the afternoon awaiting the time to devote to the listening. Story time in the bath sounds lovely but that will have to wait for an empty house 🤭 “Project Mail Harry” is probably the porn name of the XXX version 🤣 I refuse add that one to my shameful search history, honest 😉🤞 the softness of Achilles questioning of his worshipfulness of Patroclus’ features somehow brings to mind El Marachi in Desperado “did I thank you?” “No.” “I will.” said with such certainty when leaving for the third act confrontation, always does things for me. It is a long war but I don’t think the perspective during that time will disappoint. 🥰 I love Achilles devotion to his love since his time will short and decides to live fully. I think of you when reading all that AO3 HR fanfic, your voice in my head and your fun commentary for all shocking bits. 😳 Have I already told you to be sure to someday find the “Boyfriend Auditions” fanfic? You will have to gather up all Hudson’s jewelry ad shorts & sinful bedazzled photo shoots to truly appreciate how that one undoes me with all its diamond collar and jewelry adornment & piercings kink - didn’t even know that worked for me but apparently it does. 🥵 It is actually very sweet too, born of a funny tumblr thread in the fandom along with several other versions of Shane coming out in 2018 in a world where he never hooked up with Ilya but accidentally describes him as his ideal when asked after everyone is clamoring to find out how to win over Canada’s Golden Boy of hockey. “Must be able to bench press me, beat me on the ice and have a Stanley cup ring”
