Summary
Henry had always considered himself to be above anything carnal.
As a master of the stoic mind he wouldn’t allow an innocent crush to dictate his life.
However when Julian pairs them for a translation, a half-drunken mistake sets Henry into a spiral and uncovers the obsessive nature restraint breeds.In two days Henry is to discover that desire sounds almost noble when you call it restraint and passivity is a two edged knife that harms whoever yields it.
He should’ve known better — but then again, so should Aeneas.
a retelling of Aeneas and Dido’s hate crime of a relationship.
(warning: Henry-centric and soon to be edited properly)

Summary
“No, no, there’s no use in leaving if you’re already here,” Francis said, waving at the air as if batting my suggestion away. “I need a model anyway, and I could pay you whatever Julian’s carved up for the modeling department.”
"Alright,” I said, pulling out my own wallet. “Where do you want me?”
“Preferably naked on the white cloth.”
“Very funny.”
“Go get ready and let me ponder,” he answered. “I wasn’t expecting you to be here, after all.”--
Or, the Hampden students are art majors and Richard doesn't understand why Francis wants him as his muse. -

Summary
When Margaret Deveroux arrives at Hampden Collage, she intends to escape the noise of New York and immerse herself in ancient languages. Instead, she finds herself in Julian Marrow's exclusive Greek class and the strange, magnetic circle of students who haunt it. As Margaret weaves herself into their world of beauty, intellect, and excess, she finds her loyalties tested, her desires revealed, and morality blurred by none other than Henry Winter.

Summary
“The intensity of the sin, however, the crime of letting oneself get in too deep and going much too far to protect that depth, was far too much to bear.”
OR
Years after the events of The Secret History, Richard reflects on his accounts of that year at Hampden, and consumed by guilt, decides to recount what really went on behind the scenes with one Henry Winter.

Summary
You, Reader, are a student at Hampden University in rural Vermont under the name Elizabeth, who goes by Lizzy. Pursuing a career in writing, you are a hopeless romantic who dreams of creating art for everyone to love. Though, what happens when you stumble upon a group out in the woods, precariously close to a cliff? Is that Bunny with the other students from the Greek class on campus? What are they doing-? Bunny's body plummets to the ground as you bear witness.

Summary
How could she not yield to the gravity of him, the way he occupied the spaces no one else could enter, the way his presence threaded through her mind as if it had always been there, stitched into the very pattern of her being?
After being met with Richard's presence in the twins' apartment, Camilla and Charles navigate the perilous intimacy of their bond, haunted by the bacchanal and the blood that lingers between them.

Summary
"As the chthonic goddesses of vengeance, Erinyes were sent out to bring retributive justice to people who committed crimes, following after them to remind them of what they've done through whispers and nightmares."
The madness of it all told by the mouths of the ones that caused it, danced it, lit it on fire. Only this time they're not the ones holding the quill, but rather are forced to let history write itself. Unjust and tragic and blood-soaked, as history owes to be.
Alternatively: What if the outsider hadn’t been quiet?
What if, instead of a reserved boy from California, it had been a transfer student from Athens with Roman ideals and a dangerous disregard for monogamy; and the kind of allure that makes stories get rewritten and people fall in love. Five stories, five voices, the same five students of Hampden College, Hampden, Vermont. None of them are telling the truth.

Summary
At Hampden College, Richard Papen just wants a quiet life: lectures, books and the promise of a degree. However, a single line on his application form – 'Knows Greek' – thrusts him into a group of students whose brilliance is as unsettling as it is alluring. Under the spell of a professor whose elegance conceals a colder authority, Richard finds himself drawn into a world that is both intoxicating and dangerous.

Summary
THAT LITTLE BASTARD RICHARD LEFT ME OUT
Whether it's of great importance or just another misunderstanding I do not know. What I'm certain of, is that I need to set the record straight. I WAS there when everything happened and whatever that lying bastard wrote was a lie to some extent.
My name is Léon Potocki-Champvent. I arrived at Hampden a year before Richard and I have my own story to tell...so brace yourself.
If it were an interrogation, I'd say that I don't know everything and they should dig up Henry's grave and ask him, for I was the one always left out— just like Richard.

“Don’t go too far,” calls Charles, with an anxious tone of voice, “we don’t want two bodies on our hands.”

Summary

Summary
Which hotel?" he asked, cocking his head. His hair was a mess, his clothes ridiculous as usual. He had become increasingly unkempt and careless lately.
Richard opened his mouth to mumble something, but Bunny preempted him. "The one where you were bonking that married woman?" he asked, right out of the blue.
Richard's breath simply stopped. He froze on the spot, vaguely aware that the others were just as frozen.
///I used a translator. Don't mind any mistakes

Summary
Ah, this was the moment Francis had been waiting for; the moment he would know whether this play would be a triumph or his worst nightmare; his maiden love, his Juliet, was—
In dreadful, soulless black Sharpie was written a name.
HENRY WINTER
Francis stared. He blinked. He removed his pince-nez, cleaned the lens, and replaced them, even though they were plain glass, no prescription.
JULIET………HENRY WINTER
That cleaning had not been sufficient.
There were gasps and exclamations from behind him.
Francis raised his eyes to Mr. Jeffries, the cause of his suffering. His self, his soul, was consumed by one question: Why?
No: How?
No: Goddamn you, Mr. Jeffries, you son of a bitch, how could you do this to me?
Mr. Jeffries grinned. “It would be very unfair to mix anyone else up, so I just made the simplest change!”
Francis was going to expire.
Or, Francis Abernathy, Shakespeare snob, is forced to play Romeo opposite Henry Winter, stuck-up classicist, as Juliet.

Summary
Henry and Nigel Winter are twins who seek their knights and maracleas, leading their own little cult of Knight Templars and Dionysian mysteries through boarding school and their first year at Oxford. What happens when their murderous ways and a fateful invitation from Edward Carpenter traps the Greek class between the Special Branch and queer socialists in their fight for the future of England? All the while the mysteries of Dionysus and their own dark urges threaten to doom them to death rather than divinity and eternal life. Across the English Channel, another bullshit cult - Ballet Russes - is also transgressing boundaries and plagued by abusive relationships. A story of queer people, labeled as the monstrous Other, some who live up to the label. The society that made them monsters, and tries to destroy them.

Summary
‘He’ll go ballistic either way! God, he might even try again––’ Francis slammed a hand against the wall. A frame hung on the wall, containing Pricilla's beaming family, rattled, and he glared at it like it had brought the bad news, not whatever journalist had written the article. Francis turned on his heel, facing the rest of the group again. His thin face was red, and he pointed a long finger at the paper, ‘Burn it. Shred it. I don’t care, but we have to do something before he sees. This is catastrophic. I know I wished for an excuse to delay this fucking wedding, but this is not what I meant! He's going to—and believe me, I’d know, when you decide on these things—‘
