Some art based on @hoeratius's AU fic [La belle dame sans mercy], where Gen and Irene marry different people and live to regret it :'D
1 Chapter 10 -- Among many liberties I took here, I put Irene in a stool instead of a chair (because I didn't want to draw a chair...)
2 "Oh, it's you, Eugenides." -- Chapter 16
3 Attolia and Attolis
4 Eugenides and Agape
5 "He stood on the balcony threshold, just inside the cover of the curtain like a child hiding behind his mother’s skirts." -- Chapter 10
6 "‘Better’ turned out to mean Eddisian linen so fine it was easy to see the shape of his arms right through it. It was covered by a sleeveless tunic in dark blue, so closely woven that it kept Sophos warm despite its light appearance." -- Chapter 16
Extra: first version I did of the first picture out of memory, then scrapped once I reread the scene again and realized the vibes were completely wrong:
#bringing this back...#delight of my life#Trying to find a favourite... I LOVE the Agape/Gen casual intimacy#but also Irene's formality w Temenus and then her turning over casually to speak to Gen#Top one becoming a mood once more in my drafts too...#ugh i just love this so much okay#fanart#tqt#la belle dame sans merci#la belle dame sans mercy#irenides

second favorite part of 2005 pride and prejudice is when lizzy tells darcy that lydia ran off with wickham and he’s like “can i help” and she’s like “no” and he’s like “then i have to go do something unrelated immediately” and she totally falls for it

This smash cut from gothic horror to teen gossip column will never not be funny. Mina's having a fundamentally different Dracula experience ♥️

sex and the city written by umberto eco would be like *carrie bradshaw voice* as i looked at yesterday’s roses wither away until all that was left of them was their mere name, i couldn’t help but wonder — est ubi gloria nunc babylonia? nunc ubi dirus nabugodonosor, et darii vigor, illeque cyrus? qualiter orbita viribus incita praeterierunt, fama relinquitur, illaque fugitur, hi putruerunt. (no translation)

dating an identical twin scares me bc what if i get them confused
#so 1) you can definitely tell identical twins apart if you know one of them pretty well#2) shout-out to the time i kissed the identical twin of my crush and could confirm they kissed in the same way

k i recognize this is a pretentious pet peeve but WHY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD does every post of someone handling an archival document/manuscript have a comment section full of "where are your gloves?!?!" like why are people who obvs don't have archival experience (or very dated archival experience at best) so bold? sure babe lemme just rip a folio or three just 4 u🧤😘
