Antinous, Attributed to John Cheere, 1743

In 1945 World War II had kept front line nurse Claire Randall and soldier husband Frank apart. Now that the war was concluded, the two embarked on a second honeymoon. Not only did Frank hope to reconnect with his wife, but looked to reconnect with his family’s past so chose to visit his ancestral home. Things seemed to be going well until Claire suddenly found herself hurled back to the year 1743 where she met one of Frank’s ancestors. ("Sassenach", Outlander, TV)

HMS Centurion and the Spanish Treasure ship Nuestra Señora de Convadonga, 20 June 1743, by John Steven Dews (1949-)

Will you write Luke/Simon? I love their dynamic. You can keep it platonic if you prefer I just think it’s nice seeing two rookies lean on each other the way they have

Simon Nemec is on his couch.

Or. Well, Simon Nemec is on his and Jack's couch, but right now its his couch because Jack has made himself scarce, laughing at Luke as he left their apartment telling Luke to give him a heads up when it was all clear to come back.

Luke had lobbed one of their throw pillows at Jack, hit him square in the ass because he has good aim, thank you very much, and then had to retrieve said pillow as Jack continued to laugh and laugh and laugh.

Simon had told Luke a number of times that he didn't understand Luke's nickname, "Rusty", and Luke, without thinking, had volunteered to watch the Ocean's Trilogy with him.

He's already good at watching movies with a European; he does it with Holtzy no problem.

But this European. This one is a problem.

Because Nemo is different.

Every other guy on their team knew Jack first.

But Nemo met Jack and Luke at the same time. And that means something.

It means something that they're both rookies. They're both defensemen rookies. Coach has handed both of them massive responsibilities from the get go. Luke on the first unit of the power play; Simon on the second unit of the power play and the penalty kill. They're both given big minutes each game. And sometimes, they even get to play together on the same D pair.

It means something that their time on the Devils will always be tied together. They will always be connected. They're going to be the future and they're going to be the future together. They're going to be the backbone of the Devils lineup for years to come.

It means something that they've hit it off so effortlessly. That even a slight language barrier can't dampen the connection they've made so quickly. That Luke is so drawn to him, that they're so drawn to each other.

And now Simon is on his couch and Luke's having a little bit of a crisis about the whole thing.

Because they spend so much time together on the ice and on the bench and at practice and now there's no hockey, there's just Matt Damon on the screen in a black turtleneck and Simon on his couch smiling, looking so bright and warm.

Simon who's cheeks are just a little red, who's made himself comfortable, who's quiet confidence has spread from his gliding on the ice to his stretching out in Luke's home. Everything about him amplified for the one man audience that is Luke Hughes.

Well.

At least he knows for sure he's a Hughes because here he is with his very own Emotional Support European (Boy)Friend.

He's pretty sure he can hear Jack cackling somewhere.

DEVILS NOW | Leveraging Luke

Bonnie Prince Charlie (1948)

In 1743, James Francis Edward, Prince of Wales, son of deposed King James II of England and Ireland and VII of Scotland decides he is too old to return to England to reclaim the English, Scottish and Irish crowns. Living in exile in continental Europe, he summons his son Prince Charles Edward Stuart to name him Prince Regent and entrust him with the task of reclaiming the crowns from the sitting monarch, King George II. During the succession debacle, the House of Stuart received the support of their Catholic subjects, while King George II of the House of Hanover had the support of the Protestants. Catholic France supported the House of Stuart's claim to the English, Scottish and Irish thrones. In 1745, Prince Charles Edward Stuart, affectionately known as Bonnie Prince Charlie and The Young Pretender, is finally sent to Scotland with French support to reclaim the throne from George II for the House of Stuart. With a warship and seven companions, Prince Charlie lands on a Scottish shore in great secrecy. His first task is to send word out and rally all the nobles and chieftains of all the Scottish clans. If he means to defeat the English in battle he must rally all of the Scottish clans to his cause. King George II of England gets wind of these activities, from his spies, but for the moment he is not worried. Bonnie Prince Charlie persuades all Scottish nobles and chieftains, except one, to join him in a rebellion against the English. The only dissenting Scottish nobleman argues that, without any significant French military support, the rebellion will fail. Undeterred, Bonnie Prince Charlie raises his royal standard on the 19th of August 1745 and claims the crowns of England, Scotland and Ireland in front of a gathering of Scottish nobles and chieftains. The Jacobite Rebellion has begun!~IMDB~

كان بيرناندو بيلوتو ابن شقيقة كاناليتو، الرسام الذي يشتهر بمناظره المثالية للبندقية. قدما معاً العديد من المناظر المرسومة للسياح الذين توقفوا في البندقية في جولتهم الكبرى حول إيطاليا واشتروا هذا النوع من اللوحات تذكاراً وإنعكاساُ لتقدمها الثقافي. وفي هذه الوثيقة العمرانية للبندقية والقنال الكبير، قدم بيلوتو عينة لمجتمع البندقية ذاهبين إلى أعمالهم في صباح مشمس.

يسطع الضوء من الشرق على مبنى بالاتز بيساني غريتي بنوافذه المقوسة وواجهته الملونة. وصندوق تعبُّدي يشتمل على أنواع مختلفة من الأيقونات الدينية يتدلى تحت النوافذ المقوسة في المبنى الأيسر. كانت هذه الصناديق عادة ما توضع على مبنى محاذٍ للقنال كي يتسنى لعابري السبيل التوقف لحظةً للدعاء عند الرحيل أو الوصول. تسيطر كنيسة سانتا ماريا ديلا ساليوت الباروكية على الضفة اليمنى، بينما تنعكس صورتها على القنال. وإلى جانبها خلف صف من المنازل المظلمة يقف دير سان غريغوريو ذو الواجهة القوطية. وفي أقصى اليمين توجد الدوغانا (Dogana) أو مبنى الجمارك. الجنادل والعبَّارات، التي لا تزال تستخدم حتى اليوم، تذرع الماء بين الضفتين. مصب القناة واضح في الأفق حيث تدخل منه السفن البحرية وتغادر المدينة.
