Yay that you're writing Syd/Lauren--I like the pairing but have yet to read a story that really made me buy it.

It's for the alias slashficathon, so there may be an element of "slash taken for granted" to it. I'll see how it plays out.

The Octavianus thing is a bit of a joke: my Latin class has "dirty word Fridays" and I was using the verb for "perform cunnilinguis" (lingo, -ere, which also means "to lick") to demonstrate the sequence of tenses in indirect questions. It's actually all rather tame. Once they learn some nouns, perhaps I'll have the class write porn as Latin prose composition.

If you ever do find fanfic in Latin, let me know!
