Summary
I had to write a short story for my Latin class, so I picked my guilty pleasure couple.
Explores first the Lion Hunt in Libya and then Antinous' death on the Nile.
I'm still a beginner Latin Student. I appreciate any helpful feedback that could help improve my writing!
Title translates to (i hope): Only in death is beauty cherished, in life it is exploited. -

Summary
The second he passed the threshold of the gathering hall, Antinous noticed that the one relaxed and peaceful atmosphere of the party had been upended by a strange man who was trying to push himself through the crowd without much courtesy for the other guests. He seemed certainly drunker than any good roman should be, making a fool of himself with his slurred speech and questionable balance as he fought to break free from the constraints of those around him. Antinous giggled quietly to himself as the man made a fool of himself, but his amusement was quickly cut short as he looked a little closer and recognized the drunken clown to be none other than…Hadrian?
AKA:
Hadrian and Antinous attend a party, Hadrian drinks more than he should and things get a little out of hand and Antinous gets eaten out. -

Summary
A short little drabble of Hadrian and Antinous because I can not stop thinking about those to. I try my best to remain historically accurate, but I do take some liberties in making their relationship a bit more intimate and healthy than it probably was. Takes place in the summer of 128 AD where Hadrian had briefly returned to his villa before heading off to travel again. Unfortunately, instead of being able to relax he had been keep quite busy and his lover is not too happy about the lack of attention.
