Lol who needs sleep
The AU we're rocking with today-
Eye colour AU!
You will not be able to see the colour of your soulmate's eyes until you lock eye contact with them.
So Achilles has never seen brown. Ever - trees, mud, chocolate, brown puppies, never seen any of them. Of course he's seen them, but they're in grey-scale, and grey trees aren't exactly riveting. He's been told it's kind of a drab colour, and he's probably going to be disappointed. But he's really looking forward to it. You don't realise how much of the world is brown until you can't, afterall.
n the other side, Pat's never seen blue. Never been able see the colour of the ocean, of the sky, of blue drinks, flowers, signs. All appear grey, and it's really playing on his mind. Not only because having the sky grey even on a bright Summer's day is really sad, but also because his soulmate will see brown, and he's worried they'll be really disappointed. He's scared in way of meeting his soulmate - the bright flash of colour he'll experience, and the mundane addition of and dark drab colour on his soulmate's part.
It's said soulmates meet once they're both 16, and it's Patroclus' 16th birthday. Him and Briseis are celebrating by seeing a movie, and getting coffee afterwards. They go to the fanciest coffee shop nearby as a treat, find a table, and Patroclus goes up and orders his coffee. The cashier takes the ticket around the back, and the coffee machine begins wearing. Two cappuccinos was the order. Patroclus just stands around waiting for his order before the boy brings out. As Pat's saying "thank you" and "that'll be all, yes" and rummages through his wallet, he looks up to apologise for not finding the coins very quickly and locks eyes with the boy.

And there's that bright flash of light he's been petrified about. He almost drops his wallet - more just sort of thumbling it onto the counter - and tries his best to get the change out while p a n i c i n g. And then the boy places his hand on Pat's, and just
Hey, calm down. That must have been a big shock hey?
Uh, yeah- thank you.
*nods* Well, I guess we're soulmates then. I'm Achilles, you?
Oh - right - I suppose we are - Patroclus, but my friends just call me Pat.
Later Achilles confesses that the experience of seeing brown the first time as disorienting (no where close to seeing blue though) but he wasn't disappointed at all. He says there's a quiet sort of grace to brown that Patroclus has himself - a deep, rich colour that should be embraced rather than turned away.
As for Patroclus he still finds blue hard to handle, aside from when it's with Achilles, bizzarely. Summer has quickly become his favourite season despite this, because he can see blue now for the first time, and really helps him appreciate how lucky he is. He also finds blue to be rather representative of Achilles, a colour that could be both bright and cheerful or deep and wise - but never really both at the same time. He always thinks of the comparison.

8 116Skeleton Sovereign?
A lawyer, along with ten thousand other people, is kidnapped by the Heavenly Demon of Decay to participate in a campaign against the Monarch of Everglades. The Heavenly Demon of Decay, has chosen these ten thousand people to be the captains of his 100 man squads, saying that beings of lower realms are easier to boost temporarily. Our lawyer didn’t complain much at that. A generic hero summoned to another world setting, he thought. And as he didn’t have any family or much attachment to his previous world, he even liked his situation. But that was until he found out, that the “Heavenly Demon of Decay” was a necromancer. And that he along with millions of other humans, and various beings, were processed into undead soldiers. ‘Well fuck!’, he thought. And after being equipped with high quality equipment, and being robbed of his free will, he marched, along with billions of other horrifying undead, against the Monarch of the Everglades. But his poor luck didn’t end there. The Heavenly Demon of Decay, and his army lost. But the worst part was, they left him behind while retreating. Now, he is stuck behind in a huge jungle, full of various monsters, where every moment he must struggle for his life. But isn’t he already dead? This thought only serves to incense him further. But that is not all to his story, he finds that he is in a different, more powerful world, where wizards, warriors, dragons, dungeons but most importantly “CULTIVATION” exists. Albeit not very Chinese, but cultivation nonetheless. But, can a skeleton even cultivate? Not a native english speaker. So don't expect impeccable grammar. Although I do try my best, this is also my first novel so pointers are appreciated. Haters, just stop reading if you don't like it. Please don't spoil my mood by evil comments.
