Summary
Arthur thinks the new lecturer in modern Romance languages is disrespectful, infuriating, and gorgeous.
Merlin thinks the department head is a posh, arrogant Classicist, who has no right being so stunning.
But workplace relationships never last, and they don't have a single thing in common, including what languages they speak.
Then again, some things don't get lost in translation.

Celebrate The Ancients (If You've Got The Patience) by chamel
Fandoms: The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015)
08 Jan 2021

Summary
Dr. Napoleon Solo had only been on the faculty for four years, but damn if he hadn’t made quite the impression on the student body. There are few who don’t know who he is; hell, there’s a student-run twitter account dedicated to Solo Sightings around campus and Hyde Park. Lorna’s a Biology major and hardly needs a Classics course to graduate, but she wasn’t going to pass up on the opportunity to take a class from him. Anyway, she’d always been interested in the ancient world, and had figured it would be a nice break from her other coursework.
And now, instead of basking twice a week in the presence of the man who might actually be a Greek god reincarnated, she gets to watch him on a tiny laptop screen. This definitely sucks.
(Yes, this is just as absurd as it sounds. Lorna is a student stuck in quarantine and online courses, with only the intriguing glimpses of her professor's personal lives to spice things up. Meanwhile, Drs. Solo & Kuryakin must navigate teaching their courses remotely and Gaby tries not to go insane in quarantine.)

Summary
Ever wondered what Moby Dick is even about? Or have you read Moby Dick and want to relive the Pequod's highs and lows without trying to speak 19th century? This is a very reliable and accurate summary of Moby Dick, written like I am your best friend explaining my hyperfixation to you (because I am). Condenses 210k of Herman Melville's favorite whale facts into a very manageable 30k for your enjoyment! Also I point out all the gay stuff and interrupt myself a lot, but Melville does that anyway so it's not much different. Spoiler warning for Moby Dick, obviously.

Horror Novel B-Plot by Thistley

Summary
Clary meets Alec and is introduced to the Shadow World a little differently. She goes to Idris for formal training. Simon...doesn't cope very well and still becomes a vampire. On the plus side, he and Jace get off on a slightly different foot this time around.
Or: Jace stalks Simon into a friendship. Simon dies and comes back and then has a little crisis about it. Two emotionally repressed men watch Mean Girls.
-
"“Fuck!” Simon exclaims, jumping. “What the fuck, dude?” He glares at Jace. “What, do I have my own personal stalker now?”
“You haven’t texted Clary,” Jace says instead of actually replying to Simon like a proper person."
*
"“You must be Simon,” Alec then says. “I’ve heard a lot about you.” He actually smiles.
Simon feels more terrified by that than the vampires.
They haul him out of the abandoned hotel that is decidedly less abandoned on the inside (who knew vampires were so into gold?) and Alec then leaves with one last brooding glare to go do some paperwork.
(Reading part 1 is unnecessary but appreciated)

Summary
London, 19th century. The midst of an artistic revolution. When Arthur, the subject of dozens of paintings, is introduced to an up-and-coming artist with experimental ideas, he could never have imagined where modelling for him might lead. Pre-Raphaelite-ish, Arwaine, Merthur, self-indulgence. Enjoy!

Summary
Upon the request of a family friend, Sherlock Holmes is drawn into one of his most chilling cases. Sir Henry Baskerville, heir to the Baskerville estate, is the target of a centuries-old curse—or perhaps something far more sinister.
Holmes sends his trusted companion, Doctor John Watson, and his beloved wife, (y/n), to the desolate moors of Dartmoor to uncover the truth in his stead. As they navigate the secrets and legends of the Baskerville estate, they encounter ghostly apparitions, ancient superstitions, and a plot that threatens to end Sir Henry’s bloodline.
Can the trio unravel the mystery of The Hound before it claims another victim, or will the Curse of The Baskervilles strike again in this tale of cunning and romance?

Summary
Antinous sweetly caresses the emperor’s face, kissing the greying hair at his temples.
“I have much grieved you,” Antinous whispers contritely. “I can sense your weariness, Caesar.” He twirls his fingers in one of the ringlets of Hadrian’s meticulously-styled hair, peering into his eyes. “If I am to be your burden, let me also be your consolation prize.” His eyes are burning embers in his godlike face. “Do it, my love. Take what you need from me.”
Or: Antinous does give the emperor grey hairs, but it is always for a good reason.
