  • this is me not understanding how to write in dactylic hexameter
  • but trying anyway
  • it started as elegiac couplets
  • and then loses its form REAL fast

  Summary

  A Saturnalia gift for Odd_Artist in the Classics Symposium. Hope you have the merriest, sunniest solstice :)

  (Tip for anyone who can't remember how the dactyl works: it's like a waltz, counted in sets of three. Stressed/unstressed/unstressed, or long/short/short.)

  Summary

  Un AU centré sur l'idée de ce qui se serait passé si Athos avait pris en charge le jeune Mordaunt à la mort de Milady. Chaque chapitre nous fait avancer de plusieurs années.

  —Elle avait un fils, cette femme ?
  —Oui.
  —En avez-vous quelquefois entendu parler ?
  —Jamais.
  —Il doit avoir vingt-trois ans, murmura Athos ; je pense souvent à ce jeune homme, d’Artagnan.
  Extrait de Vingt ans après, d’Alexandre Dumas (ch. XVI, « Le Château de Bragelonne »)
