    Summary

    Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 4. 786 & 825 ff (trans. Rieu) (Greek epic C3rd B.C.) :

    "'...Do not let my friends be so unwary as to fall into Charybdis, or at one gulp she will swallow them all. Nor let them go too near the hateful den of Ausonian Scylla, the wicked monster borne to Phorkys by nigh-wandering Hecate, whom men call Crataeis—or she may swoop down, take her pick and destroy them in her terrible jaws. What you must do is so to guide the ship that they escape disaster, if only by a hair's breadth.’"

    A story of seven boys, just trying to find their way home.

    Summary

    “Maybe if we get out of here alive, you can find a lover of your own. Someone you can write a happy ending with.”

    “That’s a nice thought. But that sort of thing isn’t really for me.”

    “What, romance?”

    Sunghoon smiled at him wryly. “Happy endings.”

    Sunoo and Jungwon are the leaders of the Capulets, the most elusive and dangerous criminal gang in the country. They're assigned their biggest mission yet, a heist that would leave them swimming in gold. The only catch is that their biggest rivals, the Montagues, have set out on the same job. Who will get there first? And what will happen when their paths inevitably cross?

    Summary

    For centuries there had been a prophesy that said when a certain combination of vampires came together, they would unlock an unfathomable level of power. For some it was just a story, for others it was a lingering fear but for a decrepit looking home labelled as an orphanage, it was a mission.

    Summary

    As the second son of a Duke, Klaus Mikaelson has the means and all the time in the world to indulge in every manner of wild activity with very little respect for the regiment of polite society. That is until his brother decides he's had enough of his vulgar ways and gives him an ultimatum. Caroline Forbes is a young debutante in search of true love and adventure. Except her aunt wishes for her to marry a somber Viscount who's already buried three wives. When their paths cross, they realize they might yet strike a deal that could satisfy their relatives and benefit them both.

    [AH Regency!AU inspired by Bridgerton and a dozen other period novels I have been reading lately.]
