    Summary

    Julius Caesar studies me closely for a moment and a subtle smile plays around his lips. "I can still remember our encounter in Rome, Cleopatra, you were just a little girl, but even then you looked at me with those shining, curious eyes. "

    "I was probably fascinated by your penetrating gaze, Imperator, and wanted to imitate it."

    He laughs. "Not only beautiful, but also eloquent. Call me Caesar - and I'll call you Cleopatra, if I may, Your Majesty."

    He looks at me pointedly and I nod in agreement. His charm is disarming - of course!

     

    In 48 BC, young queen Cleopatra VII was fighting a civil war against her brother Ptolemy XIII. While she and her army were besieging the border fortress of Pelusium, the roman general Gaius Julius Caesar landed in the Egyptian capital Alexandria. Cleopatra knows that her recognition as Queen of Egypt depends on the goodwill of Rome. She decides to put all her stakes on one card and plans a secret meeting with the famous and notorious general on the enemy's territory.

    Summary

    Following a mysterious accident at the Ministry of Magic, empath Ariadne Silverthorn finds herself in the position of many a professor before her -- sheltered by the willing magnanimity of Albus Dumbledore. But dangerous secrets lurk in the shadowed halls of this castle, and not all of them are magical.

    Severus Snape / female OC. Slowburn (I mean SLOW), with an exploration of trauma and connection.

    This Snape will be 65% book Snape [feral emo garbage man] and about 35% movie Snape [tragic disgruntled Mr. Darcy]. But most of the time, he's 100% jerk, with a lot of growing to do.

    Summary

    Mae govannen na in-ennyn eryn! (Well met at the gates of the forest!)
    Our story? A disenchanted NYC lawyer moves to rural Ireland, unintentionally entangling herself with the Wood-Elves of Hobbit fame that never departed Middle-earth. An Irish ex-con plus colorful friends soon follow and life is never the same. The deeds and achievements of the younger race of Men in all their splendor and horror unveil to the ancient, immortal and arguably stagnated race of Elves, leaving much to be explored of society, history, culture and beyond. More than two decades’ story time tell a tale of social collapse, families that grow under one very large roof, battles against past and present traumas, prejudices, and the slow return of the great First Age Elves to the light of day. Eru Ilúvatar had a plan for this world of Arda. Tolkien never elaborated. So a little voice said: "Go finish the Ainulindalë." And we respectively said: "Okay. I need tea."
