Old loves through new eyes; Fandom Trees reveals

The current snowflake_challenge prompt is short and to the point: Rec Us Your Newest Thing.



My newest thing is not new so much as an old thing to which I've recently returned: Steven Saylor's Roma Sub Rosa mystery series.

( Cut because this got really long; warning for mentions of slavery )

fandomtrees has just gone live, and I've received some delightful gifts, representing the full spread of fandoms that I requested, which is particularly pleasing.

sunshine304 made me some absolutely stunning Babylon Berlin icons, ninthfeather made a great batch of Six of Crows icons, and hekateras wrote me a very creepy and atmospheric folklore-inspired fanfic:
