Well, this is my first Troy fic and to be honest I'm scared to death!
Just to make absolutely clear, this isn't a slash fic. It could almost be called an AU. Well, you might as well call it that seeing how far away from the actualy film it goes.Lol :)
I've replaced Achilles with a female. Pretty much the same character but with breasts. I love putting girls in male dominated enviroments and seeing what I can make of it (I'm an apprentice mechanic!Lol). I've changed it so Paris is captured instead of Briseis. Yep, I've helped him grow a pair! I'm trying to expand on how two such different characters can open each other's eyes. And I want to exaggerate how much Achilles' view of war is altered. I'm not claiming to be an expert on the film or themyth or the history or anything elseso all you purists can cut me some slack. I'm only doing this for my own pleasure so flames are just wasting your owntime. I've had my fair share of those if you want to check the reviews for my one-shot!Lol. So, yeah. There's no need to get all insulting just because this isn't to your taste. Fair enough, you don't like it. But I do and I want to share it. So back off!Lol!
The next chapter gets into the actual story. This is just to test the reaction to my idea. If it is actually shite I won't bother posting but if a few of you fond it interesting I'll show you what I've got so far.
"Achilles!" Agamemnon, King of the Mycenaean's, shouted loudly toward the huge army behind him. He knew his warrior would never fail him. He would have the Thessalonians under his control within minutes.
But only silence answered him.
The Mycenaean soldiers murmured amongst themselves and looked around, trying to find the one that would save all their lives. But no one could see Achilles. Agamemnon frowned in growing anger.
King Triopas smiled. "Boagrius has this effect of many heroes," he said with a air of superiority about him.
"Be careful who you insult, old king," he retorted, not one to be dishonoured in front of any man, let alone his own men. Agamemnon turned with carefully concealed outrage and looked back at his army. Not again!
He was about to call again when an officer rode forward on his horse and said, "My Lord, Achilles is not with the army." Across the plain the army laughs and Boagrius smirks. 'Probably took one look at him and bolted! Don't blame the poor blighter,' they all thought. But they were silenced when the officer continued, "I have sent a boy to look for her."
A murmur of surprise could be heard as the Thessalonians questioned what they had heard. That could not be right. The man hadn't said 'her'. He couldn't have. Their suspicions were supported when their King looked in confusion at Agamemnon and simply asked, "Her?" but they were confirmed when Agamemnon simply smiled knowingly and chuckled to himself.
Well, R+R. If no one reviews I'll just assume the idea sucks and won't bother you any more. But if you want to read more let me know and I'll be happy to post a couple more chapters:) Take care!
