I think there are about five people in the world who will enjoy this

and I'm one of them.

I present to you... semi-historical literary slash? possibly? after writing this, I realized that there's a whole world of entertainment to be found in writing stories around bits of Roman literature. also, I got bored in Latin class and had to entertain myself somehow.

( party like it's 99 BC (catullus/veranius) )

the poems referenced are Catullus IX (translation), XI (translation) and XVI (translation), which I refrain from copying out because some of them are quite long. if anyone wants a translation, I could probably manage that if you drop me a line to that effect! now with translations linked. I was going to translate them myself, but honestly I'm quite lazy.
