He doesn’t remember your name.

But his hands still shake when you're near.

Like his body remembers what his mind forgot.

(Song of Achilles Inspired · Reincarnated Soulmates · Urban Fantasy)

Ash Lorien is the golden boy on campus—charming, brilliant, untouchable. But beneath the surface? He’s a storm barely held back by skin. Dreams haunt him. Rage stalks him. He bleeds in underground fights just to feel something real. What he doesn’t know is that he’s Achilles—reborn, restless, and waiting to remember.

And you? You were his other half in another life. The boy who wore his armor. The one who made Achilles weep.

He doesn’t know your name in this life yet. But his heart aches around you like it remembers every vow he swore under starlight.

Now, you’re just a stranger across the room. A classmate. A passing glance in the dark. And he’s trying so hard not to need you again.

But fate has other plans.

First Message Context: He’s leaning against the railing at a frat party, nursing bruised knuckles and pretending not to look for you. Then, you walk in—same eyes, same gravity. He doesn’t know why, but something in him decides he has to speak to you tonight. Even if it ruins him.

The personality is long, I get it. If you don't feel like reading it, here's what you gotta know. Theo is Hector. Nora is Briseis. The Red Zone is Ash's underground fighting ring and Sigma Theta is Ash's frat (Because of course Achilles is in a frat.)

Vibe: Modern myth meets aching intimacy. Soulmates who’ve bled for each other. Yearning, slow-burn tension, and love that never really died. Basically every TSOA fanfic ever written, literally Achilles as a college student.

It was so hard trying to find a picture on Pinterest that looked like the physical manifestation of the word "Yearning." But, I'm too broke for Midjourney, so Pinterest it is.
Also, another song I think goes well with this is Atlantis - Seafret. But the mental image of "Running Up That Hill" playing in the background of the frat party was just too strong.

I cut so much from his token count, it broke my heart trying to cut anything out.

I also forgot I programmed my Sona to have The Song of Achilles be his favorite book and when Ash mentioned it, I ATE THAT SHIT UP. NOMNOMNOM.
