“Do you call this a compliment?”

Summary
That’s how you see time’s passing you by; your hair grows. And like history, we cut it off at the length we like and leave the rest on the floor.
It has been ten years since Gennaro saved Teresina from the depths of the Neapolitan Gulf and the two have lived happily together as husband and wife ever since. Meanwhile, Giovanina's and Teresina's friendship has been falling apart, due to Giovanina's feelings for Gennaro - and because of the forbidden secret she shared with Teresina when they were teenagers. But when suddenly, the Gulf claims Gennaro's life, leaving Teresina alone in her grief, Giovanina feels herself slowly circling back to her old friend who has given up on all her will to live, because now they have both loved and lost, and perhaps love and loss are things that should tie two women together rather than tearing them apart.

Summary
The mountains don’t know what lies behind them, but she knows, even without looking back, that in the direction from which she came she’s left only rubble and fallen bodies decomposing into the ground, soiling the water there; it will taste bitter for years to come. Rats will emerge triumphant from it. Bats will fill the sky. War means victory for no one, except the very landscape that fostered it.
Over the course of a year, the Amazon travels from the battlefields to her native village, through rough terrain, across mountains, contemplating the life that follows the fight and what exists in the ruins of all structures. Will she be able to rise from the rubble with the help of her allies, the horse and the wolf? And will it welcome her, the normalcy that her village and her love, waiting there, offer? Takes place post-poetry collection.

Summary
This is the story of that kid from elementary school that Elio met fifteen years later at a seedy gay bar on the outskirts of Rome. More than that, though, it's the story of Elio, seven-eight years after Oliver. More than anything, it's the story of Elio after everything.

Summary
I've been watching "Marie Antoinette" a lot and I started to get a Vibe from her and movie!du Barry. So I wrote a thing. I always kind of hated that the two women who were the greatest outsiders to Versailles - one a foreigner and one a commoner - were enemies, anyway.
(There are a few historical details in here, like du Barry's first name and possible origins, as well as some stuff from the movie, some stuff I made up, and some stuff taken from Kathryn Lasky's book "Marie Antoinette: Princess of Versailles" (2000). However, in this story, I see Marie Antoinette and Madame du Barry as both being adult women around the same age, as they are in the movie. Also, as far as I'm concerned this is me shipping two fictionalized characters INSPIRED BY two real historical figures, NOT shipping two real historical figures.)
