Summary
In the shadow of the Canalovii, the great Aliakmon still bends out at the place where it once flowed freely into the Lydias to the northeast, before the latter wandered astray to join the black-dying Axius instead.

Summary
There could be no more terrible crime than to kill someone who is not merely a fellow human being but a close friend. Yet surely someone who kills a tyrant, however close friends the two men have been, has not committed a crime. At any rate the people of Rome do not think so, since they regard that deed which was done as the most splendid of all noble actions.

"Peg, honey, it's not like that." Or maybe it is. BJ, the truth, and the layering of lies over decades.

Erik has been trying to read for the last forty-five minutes, in defiance of the periodic screaming coming from the roof.
Erik, Charles, literature and existence. But really: obligatory will-they-won't-they mansion fic. WARNING: contains brief references to past torture.

Summary
Nacho thinks about the peasants somewhere at the crest of South America; smiling peasant families digging their hands into the dirt, planting coca plants in little green rows. Planting and toiling under the gunfire and smoke, so that some distant gringo lawyer can snort his second wind off a bathroom sink; so a college kid can get a better lay. So that he can sit here, in his big house, having dinner with his asshole boss, and feel like shit.
