I literally opened a fic thinking it would just be a one shot but found out it has over 300k words and I’m just oh god not again

When Medea said "I would rather stand three times with a shield in battle than give birth once" it was so powerful that it burned off my eyebrows

THIS SHOT ME IN THE FACE FIVE TIMES AND PUNCHED ME IN THE STOMACH

The fact that Julius Caesar burst into tears after reading about Alexander the Great because they were the same age but he could never live up to Alexander is one of the greatest things I’ve learnt as a classics student

and Alexander himself got upset over the fact that he would never live up to Achilles- he paid his respects at Achilles and Patroclus’ tomb, and kept a copy of the Iliad under his pillow. History is nothing but a long, long list of maudlin queers fearing that they’ll fail to live up to the maudlin queers who came before them.
