History-exchange is live!

[dhampyresa]

The collection is open! There are 16 works, of which I wrote 3. You can try to guess which ones they are, but I suspect it will not be much of a challenge.

I got two fics! Well, a fic and a treat.

The treat is very short and can't be described without spoilers.
You Must Be Miseducated (30 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Historical RPF, Classical Greece and Rome History & Literature RPF
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Scipio Africanus/Hannibal Barca
Characters: Scipio Africanus, Hannibal Barca
Additional Tags: Eurovision, Manip, Song Lyrics, Crack
Summary:

Hannibal and Scipio set the record straight about ancient Eurovision.

The fic is AMAZING AND GORGEOUS AND I LOVE IT FOREVER.
The Third Aphrodite (3104 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Historical RPF, Classical Greece and Rome History & Literature RPF
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Sappho (fl. 600 BC), Cleis (Sappho), Ἀφροδίτη | Aphrodite (Hellenistic Religion & Lore)
Additional Tags: Dreams, Suicide Attempt, Growing Up, Lesbian Character, Wordcount: 1.000-5.000, Ocean, Drowning, Magical Realism, Storytelling
Summary:

It's said that Sappho killed herself by jumping off a cliff when she failed to win the heart of the beautiful ferryman Phaon. This tale has the story backwards, for in fact Sappho died not at the end of her life, but at the beginning.

This fic speaks to me on such a deep level I don't even have words for it. IT'S WONDERFUL.

I'm so glad I ran this exchange, you lot, SO GLAD.

Je sais bien, mais l'Histoire, c'est pas trop mon truc. C'est pour ça que je me concentre sur les AU. ^^

Ca ne me paraît pas étonnant. Déjà, s'il n'y a pas de rajout de magie ou de trucs dans le genre (quoique ça pourrait être intéressant), on peut considérer ça fidèle historiquement.

T'inquiète, je comprend. J'écrirais juste plus d'AU pour te convaincre :P

C'est à dire que c'est la seule interprétation que je connaisse où Hannibal ne couche pas avec ses hommes. (Edit: Dans le sense de "faire dodo" s'entend. Le reste on peut pas dire.)

Oui, voilà, plus d'AU. :-)
