July fic #01: Latin Phrase

Sherlock's head was tucked his head under John's chin, his cheek rested on the doctor's chest,"In absentia lucis, Tenebrae vincunt."

"Uh- in absence of light-" John picked his brain for any Latin he may have tucked away,"I got nothing."

"In absence of light, darkness prevails,"the consulting detective tipped his head up to gently kiss along John's neck,"and you are my conductor of light."

He hummed, wrapping an arm around Sherlock's waist,"Say it again?"

"In absentia lucis," a pair of soft lips resting on John's pulse point, the deep voice reverberating through his body,"Tenebrae vincunt," Sherlock nipped at the skin before scooting back on the bed to get a look at his partner's face,"I won't be in the dark, not as long as I have you."

John smiled, pulling him into a searing kiss,"Then you'll have my light eternally," he lightly brushed his fingers along Sherlock's side, making him wiggle and laugh,"No matter how much it bothers you."

"You're the least irritating thing about eternity."

"Thanks love," They embraced once more, a comforting warmth between them.

[deathdiet]

aegri somnia, troubled dreams from Horace, Ars Poetica

[storiesofoko]

Astra Inclinant, Sed Non Obligant.

The Stars Incline Us, They Do Not Bind Us.

Following a hidden path of fate

With the warm hands of destiny guiding my way.

Invisible strings being plucked and pulled

As I keep heading towards the unknown.

Every choice brings me down a new untouched path, 

But there is comfort when I find those warm hands,

Welcoming and loving, always there to catch me when I fall.

Only when death claims me will it end,

When those warm hands embrace me for the last time.

~Oko

Finals

Memento mori

Means 'remember you must die'

Mostly showcased through artwork, a memento mori reminds us of the brevity of our time here and the fragility of human life.

A basic memento mori painting would be a portrait with a skull but other symbols commonly found are hour glasses or clocks, extinguished or guttering candles, fruit, and flowers.

The [picture on the right] is Pablo Picasso's 'Goat's Skull, Bottle and Candle'

Per aspera ad astra

Means "to the stars through difficulties / a rough road leads to the stars"

It’s the motto of many groups (both real and fictional) including government entities, schools, research institutions, fraternities/sororities. It appears in novels including "to kill a mockingbird” and “red rising.” It’s the starfleet motto in star trek. It appears in many songs. It’s the title of a tribute exhibit to the apollo i astronauts and written on a plaque at the site where they died. and it’s recorded, in morse code, on the track called “sounds of the earth,” on the voyager golden records that are on voyager 1 and 2 that are intended to represent the human species to any other life out there that may come across the spacecraft in the distant future.

[freyatarotreadings8]

Amor fati is a Latin phrase that may be translated as "love of fate" or "love of one's fate". It is used to describe an attitude in which one sees everything that happens in one's life, including suffering and loss, as good or, at the very least, necessary.

[save-the-villainous-cat]

Studying biology is so fun. Like, no sarcasm, it’s just fun because Zoology includes anatomy and medicine and now I have to study bones and the nervous system and just the whole human body.

And like…this knowledge is so good for writing whump -.-

Also having a mom who’s a doctor is good for writing whump.

[that-foul-legacy-lover]

Extremely odd idea but like

reader who like keeps calm most of the time and yk doesn’t really raise their voice much

but they unintentionally switch to latin when theyre like super pissed off

and the first time in happens with human childe… he wasn’t expecting it ofc. got surprised, then got used to it

but i’d like to imagine FL and Childe whilst share important memories, dont like know EVERYTHING the other does and they do have like similar thinking processes and personalities but some differences that makes them a little different from one another(its ok we love them both)

Foul legacy when he first saw this happen though was after the events of the 4.0 archon quest. When he woke up(lets pretend he woke up as FL transformed bcs his body thought he was in danger when he got knocked out mid transformation) he heard yelling. particularly the reader yelling. more elaborately the reader yelling in latin of all languages.

The guards who only know english and frencb are dumbfounded and reader is so pissed off theyre rampaging with their words in latin, not capable of even thinking to language switch back from hor fucking furious they are that the guards hurt and locked up their precious moth

wait this is perfect actually since Khaenri'ahn languange is (i'm pretty sure) based on Latin, and Khaenri'ah has connections to the Abyss!!

normally the prison guards would be stricter with who was allowed into which cell- but you're stubborn and absolutely furious with them, shouting words they don't understand, looking like you're about to straight up maim one of them. Foul Legacy watches in awe as you berate the guards in Latin, catching a few words here and there, words that he's seen carved in stone and on walls deep beneath a lightless sea. finally the guards relent, possibly out of fear, and let you into the cell

immediately your angry demeanor falls away as you rush over, wrapping your arms around Legacy as he chitters in relief, nuzzling his head into the crook of your neck. you whisper soothingly to him- a stark contrast from your yelling a few minutes ago- as you caress his plated cheek with a hand. your words are still peppered with Latin, phrases that are completely new to Foul Legacy, but he knows they must be good from how sweetly you say them. there's one you say often- "amica mea"- and you murmur it with a shine in your eye as you place a kiss on his forehead, Legacy's claws wrapped around your hands like they're made of glass. the guards simply watch, dumbfounded and astonished upon seeing the Abyssal creature that was just viciously growling at them melt in the hands of a mere mortal

later Ajax asks you what "amica mea" means, a vague memory tugging at his mind, and with warm cheeks you tell him that it means "my love"

[chikinan]

"the most instantly recognizable latino songs are gasolina, atrévete and la camisa negra" wrong. The most recognizable songs for latinos are:
