The plot could center around the growing attraction between Achilles and Briseis. For instance, it might start with Briseis being initially resistant to Achilles due to his reputation as a fearsome warrior. But as time passes, she begins to see his more tender side. Their relationship could be further complicated by the political situation in Troy, with both of them caught in the middle of the war.
A lemon in fanfiction often implies some sort of romantic or sexual undertone. In the context of Troy, Briseis and Achilles, the fanfiction might explore their complex relationships. It could delve into the unspoken desires and tensions between them. For example, it might show how Achilles' feelings for Briseis were not just based on her beauty but also on her strength of character. And Briseis' view of Achilles could be a mix of fear, admiration and a strange attraction.
One possible plot could be that the child grows up in the shadow of their famous parents. They might struggle with the expectations placed on them due to their parents' heroic and tragic story. For example, they could be trained in combat like Achilles, but also inherit Briseis' kindness and compassion, which would create an internal conflict as they try to find their own identity in a world that only sees them as the child of two legends.
The fanfiction could involve a prophecy related to the unborn child. The prophecy might state that the child will either bring great peace or great destruction. This would put a lot of pressure on Achilles and Briseis. They would have to decide how to handle this knowledge. Do they try to hide the child's existence? Or do they raise the child to be a force for good? Achilles might also become more protective than ever, leading to some tense moments with his comrades who don't fully understand his newfound intensity.
One possible plot could be that after the chaos of war, Achilles and Briseis find a moment of peace in a secluded part of the camp. They start with a deep conversation about their feelings towards each other, gradually leading to a tender embrace and then a passionate love - making. Their relationship in this fanfiction could be seen as a symbol of finding love in the midst of destruction.
The plot might involve Achilles and Briseis being forced into marriage due to a peace treaty between two warring factions. Briseis initially hates Achilles for being part of the group that has caused so much destruction. However, Achilles tries to make amends. He shows her kindness and respect. As they are forced to live together, they learn about each other's cultures and beliefs. This shared knowledge helps them to see each other in a new light, and they slowly fall in love, defying the odds of their forced union.
Perhaps in this fanfiction, Achilles discovers a prophecy that if Troy falls, it will lead to the destruction of his own homeland in a different way. So, he fights for Troy not just as a hired warrior but as someone with a vested interest in the city's survival. He uses his incredible combat skills to fend off the Greek invaders, and along the way, he forms unexpected alliances with some of the Trojan soldiers who were initially skeptical of him.
There could be a new level of intimacy in their relationship. Not just physical intimacy, but an emotional closeness as they are about to become parents. They would share their hopes and fears for the future. For instance, they might talk about what kind of life they want their child to have, whether it's a life away from war or a life where the child is trained to be a great warrior like Achilles. This would deepen their bond and make their relationship more complex and multi - faceted.
Achilles might start as a brash and self - centered warrior. But the forced marriage would force him to consider someone else's feelings. He'd become more empathetic. Briseis, on the other hand, could begin as a frightened and resentful woman. As she gets to know Achilles better, she'd gain confidence and start to assert herself. For example, she might influence Achilles' decisions regarding war and peace.
One idea could be exploring their relationship before the events of the Trojan War. Maybe they met secretly in their youth, and that initial encounter shaped their feelings for each other later on.
One possible aspect of this fanfiction could be the exploration of Achilles' heroic nature. His act of saving Briseis might be seen as not just a physical rescue but also a moral one. In the original context, Briseis was often at the mercy of the power struggles among the Greek heroes. In this fanfiction, Achilles might be portrayed as defying the norms of his society or the commands of his superiors to save her. This could show his independent spirit and his sense of justice.
