#contrapasso

This isn't specific to a canto. I'm doing a rewatch and remembered something I wanted to yap about.

The idea of contrapasso is present throughout Dante's Inferno, and it is often present in how Hannibal kills. The literal translation of contrapasso is "to suffer the opposite." Punishments in Dante's Hell are often very specific to the sin. Diviners who used occult arts to see the future are condemned to have their heads twisted 180-degrees around and walk backwards for eternity, their tears falling on their butts. People who stood for nothing in life are condemned to chase a meaningless banner in death. Two brothers who killed each other are damned to spend eternity in the same grave (I like to call this Dante's Get-Along-Shirt).

Summary:

contrapasso [con · tra · pas · so]

the punishment of souls by a process either resembling or contrasting with the sin itself.

The first time they meet is in Copenhagen.

Regulus is on holiday, halfway to drunk off his ass in a dingy back alley pub. He’s never believed in love at first sight—in fact, he thinks it’s a rather ridiculous concept—but the first time he catches sight of him across alcohol-sticky floors and air thick with smoke, Regulus might be persuaded to change his mind.

WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THIS?

This is perfect.

That's what I can say.

It's a Vampire hunter x Vampire (where James is the Vampire and Reggie the Vampire hunter)

I absolutely adored it! I liked how James was portrayed in this one (maybe a little different than the usual), and the smut was smutting (!!)

It's worth the read even if you are not that much into the vampire stuff (I'm not either, but it sounded too good to pass on).

Also, it's written by Damagecontrol, and they are one of the main Jegulus writer of the moment (in my opinion) and one of the best. Literally, some of my favourite fics are written by them!

A little bit of background Wolfstar and Rosekiller for the vibes aaand here you go!
