《Achilles And Patroclus AUs because my heart hurts still》Flower Shop AU!
Advertisement
o I apologise, I've just got off mock GCSE exams - I had like 3 exams a day - it was tough. But I survived! Hecc yee!
A small boi from a small town, and an unusual passion for flowers. He's the one who arranges all the flowers in the window and damn he's good at it. He seems to remember the meaning behind each one and it's bizzare.
A semi-regular customer who comes and buys a cactus or something like that. He came far more regularly after talking with Patroclus - and the other employees are beginning to suspect it's not just the flowers he's here for anymore.
Another staff member and friend of Patroclus. She's less here because of passion and more Patroclus very enthusiasticly offered her the job and she took it. She can read people like a book, and her gaydar is currently wildly flying at Achilles.
So Achilles' first few visits were fairly normal, with requests like "what could I get for my mother?" Or "I want to get flowers for my girlfriend, any suggestions?"
Then one day (sorry Tumblr but this is perfect) he slams the door open and just yells
Pat stutters h a r d because A. Hot guy B. Yelling. C. That's not what flowers are for. D. Hot guy.
He gives his best suggestions:
- Dandelion
- Daffodil
- Meadowsweet
Achilles immediately asks if he can have a bouquet of all three. Patroclus complies, and makes sure not to ask too many questions.
So after doing the unusual request, Achilles turns up more and more often, eventually asking how to confess love in a flower. Pat's quite glad at this, very happy that Achilles seems to have found love after presumably breaking off the relationship. (Not gunna lie, Patroclus has felt a tad guilty for doing the bouquet and ending the relationship) (he knows that because he and Achilles chat when he comes in).

Patroclus suggests his favourite - partly because he's got a s m a l l crush on a Achilles, and partly because he thinks it's the most romantic: a bouquet of pink and yellow daisies which confess love in a quiet way, and also advertise the fact you only have eyes for the person in question. Achilles nods and takes the bouquet, walving bye to Patroclus before he leaves. Pat can't help notice he's a lot quieter then he normally is. It's easy to see with Achilles.
Pat's shift ended in about ten minutes by the time Achilles leaves, and when he leaves he's surprised to see Achilles waiting for him by the front door. Patroclus asks what he's doing there, and Achilles just hands him the bouquet to him.
There's a very long awkward silence while Patroclus tries to process this. But he does, and eventually asks whether this is for him.
Yes.
For me?
Yes.
Me????
Yes!!
This back and forth goes on for a while while Pat's monologue is built of entirely screaming. Once he's got over the shock of it, he tearfully accepts - the surprise and delight of it getting to his head a little.

Valkyrie's Shadow
In the wake of the Battle of Katze Plains, the banner of Ainz Ooal Gown flies proudly over the city of E-Rantel. The Sorcerous Kingdom has entered the world’s stage to the clamour of death and devastation; the surrounding nations fearfully prepare even as they reel from its calamitous debut. Within the borders of the newly annexed realm, its Human subjects cower in their homes as the Undead openly walk the streets and stalk the lands. Yet, when a destitute noble finds herself under the auspices of an unlikely benefactor, events are set into motion that will resound over the world for ages to come. A kingdom builder based on the events and setting of Kugane Maruyama’s Overlord. In a fantasy world where beings of matchless power are transmigrated from the arbitrary existence of a game, Valkyrie’s Shadow chronicles the lives of the natives whose reality has been turned upside down by their advent. It is the tale of a nation created by the whims of a supreme sovereign, and his unstoppable servants who each have their own, often twisted, interpretations of their Master’s Will. There is no victory in strength; no miracles wrought from magic that will save them: only the inexorable advance of a new world order where those who secure a place of service within will find themselves turned against the world that they once knew. [Slow buildup. Methodical storytelling with a focus on well-rounded kingdom building and character development.]
