Galois Is So Funny. Solve A 350 Year Old Math Problem At 19. Lay The Foundations Of Group Theory, Also

Lorelei

by Sylvia Plath

It is no moon to drown in: A full moon, river lapsing Black beneath bland mirror-sheen,

The blue water-mists dropping Scrim after scrim like fishnets Though fishermen are sleeping,

The massive castle turrets Doubling themselves in a glass All stillness. Yet these shapes float

Up toward me, troubling the face Of quiet. From the nadir They rise, their limbs ponderous

With richness, hair heavier Than sculptured marble. They sing Of a world more full and clear

Than can be. Sisters, your song Bears a burden too weighty For the whorled ear's listening

Here, in a well-steered country, Under a balanced ruler. Deranging by harmony

Beyond the mundane order, Your voices lay siege. You lodge On the pitched reefs of nightmare,

Promising sure harborage; By day, descant from borders Of hebetude, from the ledge

Also of high windows. Worse Even than your maddening Song, your silence. At the source

Of your ice-hearted calling -- Drunkenness of the great depths. O river, I see drifting

Deep in your flux of silver Those great goddesses of peace. Stone, stone, ferry me down there.

So, Eloise takes a deep breath and echoes a previous conversation, “You jump, I jump, remember?”

(Titanic fans, anyone? 👀)

🤔What’s a story you’d love to write but haven’t even started yet?

I recently read The Rose Code by Kate Quinn and I love the idea of writing Eloise and Theo as codebreakers during WWII! I'm currently working on a reincarnation AU, and in one of those lives Eloise and Theo are onboard the RMS Titanic, and in another life they're codebreakers at Bletchley Park.

Unfortunately, I'm only writing a small snapshot of each life, so I don't really get to delve into each story with this AU. That being said, my hope is to eventually write a longer fic loosely following the plot of The Rose Code!

“Theo travelled to Staffordshire with his master's old suitcase and a letter all for the sake of securing an investment from a Baron he'd never heard of in the hopes of completing his apprenticeship with flourish.

However, Baron Stafford is a known eccentric and more surprises await him in the Potteries than he could have ever expected.”

The Bloomsbury Bridgerton by Jane_3yr3

canon divergent from the end of s2, rated M, incomplete (6/7 | 12K)

“Eloise Bridgerton flees polite society following the revelation of Lady Whistledown's identity and makes her way back to our favourite printshop boy. Canon compliant with season two of the series.”

“He feels inadequate seeing her like this – the last couple of weeks he has been able to almost forget the invisible ocean that exists between them. Now he is too aware of his shabby clothes and his ink-stained hands. Eloise is lovelier than any flower he has seen. And she would probably roll her eyes if he were to say so out loud.”

The Fine Print by theloise

post-canon-ish(?), rated G, oneshot collection

“Sometimes, Benedict cannot help but miss the little girl who used to chase him through the halls of Bridgerton House -- the tiny, blue-eyed baby who pulled incessantly at his hair. But Eloise is more than that now; her heart beats large, and open, and wide. And it has expanded to include -- of all people -- a poor, radical printer's apprentice.

And he cannot stop it. He does not want to stop it.

Prompt:

Tempted to write a season 2 fic that throws both historical accuracy and show consistency out the window and has Theo say “fuck it” and leave work to visit Eloise at her house. He shows up in his work attire and Anthony is all “what the fuck who are you and what are you doing at my house” and Theo’s like “I’ve come to call on Eloise” and Anthony, who’s already on the verge of a mental breakdown because of Kate and Edwina, just goes “fuck it, it’s your funeral” because surely his sister will eat this man alive, right?

But then, they actually seem to like each other. And not only that, they seem to know each other…and that’s when Anthony officially loses it.
