A/N: Written for a prompt on the kinkmeme asking for Enjolras and Grantaire as reincarnations of Achilles and Patroclus, which you can also read there or on AO3. Also for the trope bingo amnesty square 'immortality/reincarnation'.
These incarnations of Achilles and Patroclus are very heavily based on those in Madeline Miller's book The Song of Achilles. The title of this fic is also from a line from that book. After Achilles has been killed, Patroclus is a spirit who is talking to his mother, the goddess Thetis, who says to him, "Have you no more memories?" and Patroclus replies, "I am made of memories."

( He is torn between Enjolras and Achilles, memories of a life when he was careless and selfish slipping through the cracks in Enjolras’ ideals. They are not one and the same; Enjolras can suppress Achilles’ cruelty and arrogance, keep it tempered, but there is one thing that Enjolras cannot restrain. The purest thing about Achilles will never change. )
