Sitting figure of Maja - Staatliche Museen zu Berlin Collections
Inventory Number: ÄM 19286
Tutmose III (18th Dynasty, New Kingdom, Egypt)
Location Information: Akhmim (? / Egypt / Middle Egypt)
Description:
Maja was a high official of the provincial administration. He was installed as Gouverneur and head of the Priests in the 10th upper egyptian district by king Tutmose III, who's name is written on the chest and right upper arm. His grave was found in the necropolis of the main settlement of that district and it is speculated that this figure was also from there. Maja sits upright on a simple stool. The text tells us names and titles of the deceased, as well as the sacrificial rites for the local deities. He is dressed in a short skirt, originally reserved for the kings, but later also found with private persons. He holds in his right hand a sweat cloth, while the left isflat on his skirt. The round expressionless face is, like the entire figure, structured very formal. A wig that was in keeping with the taste of the time was literally placed over the head. The two necklaces, consisting of disc pearls, as well as the massive upper and lower arm bracelets, are awards made of gold that the king had given him. They probably indicate former military service.

This week, we have seven fics featuring Percival Fredrickstein von Mussel Klossowski De Rolo III! Check them out under the cut, and don't forget to kudos or comment if you like them!
I Say We're Made of Love by azhdarchidaen (3298,General)
Warnings: None
Pairings: Percy & Keyleth
The evening after Percy's resurrection, Keyleth decides she needs to talk to him. It turns out to be important for both of them.
Reccer says: this is probably my favorite percy and keyleth fic of all time, it highlights exactly what i love about the both of their characters and their friendship and how they foil each other down to a beautiful heart wrenching 3298 words, and gives that post-glintshore angst that always tugs at my soul. every time i read this fic i cry a little bit it's just so good and one of my favorite fics of all time ever. the line "you're a light to me, isn't that enough?" will live with me for a long time
locked in by settai (3419,Teen)
Warnings: None
Pairings: Percy & Vax
Percy and Vax are trapped in a closet
Reccer says: Quality hurt/comfort, and once again dealing with the menace of doors
your feelings and mine are all lonely by orphan_account (3412,Teen)
Warnings: None
Pairings: Cassandra de Rolo & Percival "Percy" Fredrickstein Von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III
The de Rolo siblings attempt healthy communication and finding common ground.
Reccer says: This is such a wonderful look at the aftermath and development we never really got with these two because other things took precedent.
It Might Sting a Little by CurrieBelle (1957,General)
Warnings: None
Pairings: none
Everyone in Vox Machina must have pierced ears so they can use the magic whisper earrings. Here's how Percy's ear was pierced.
Reccer says: I love this glimpse into what pre-stream Vox Machina might have been like - everyone a little rougher around the edges and Percy just starting to come back to considering himself a person.
Shadows by besselfcn (1614,Mature)
Warnings: Oblique description of past sexual assault
Pairings: Percy de Rolo & Vox Machina
Vox Machina trades stories about the first person they ever slept with. It's not an easy question for Percy.
Reccer says: Percy is great for whump, and the party banter before it goes sour is wonderfully characterized
an empty gun by sparxwrites (2124,Teen)
Warnings: Talk of suicide
Pairings: Scanlan & Percival de Rolo
Scanlan finds a letter that Percy wrote before the Ripley fight
Reccer says: Anything that let's Scanlan be serious for a moment is precious in my book, and this has some wonderful descriptions in it
And then two for:
The Wild Hunt by sparxwrites (19286,Teen)
Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence
Pairings: None
While in the Feywild, Vox Machina runs afoul of the Wild Hunt and Percy is separated from the group. It gets worse from there.
Reccer 1 says: This is my favorite kind of fanfic- badass in distress who keeps accumulating new injuries, indignities and suffering and keeps fighting anyway. It's a great fic if you can handle a lot of heavy violence.
Reccer 2 says: It really captures Percy's resilience as a Fighter and ingenuity in coming up with solutions to problems. The insights into his thoughts and feelings and the dramatic tension as he struggles to survive are wonderfully done.
If you liked this rec list, follow along for more! We'll be posting a new list with a new theme each Monday. Want to make your own recs? Check out the rules, and then use the form to submit!
If you didn't get enough angst this week, next week we're going to have recs featuring fights! Arguments, bloody battles, and anything in between.
Then, we'll have modern AU's, cuddling, and FCG
