Culture/history betas

[evewithanapple]

Pursuant to the language beta post, I was thinking it would be good for us to have a hub where people can ask for history/culture resources for fic-writing. Need to pick someone's brain about Scythian society? Gender/sexuality norms in medieval Jerusalem? Backgrounder on English witch trials which were absolutely not happening in 1750, what the hell Netflix? Ask here!

Personally, I can provide resources on sexuality in medieval Catholicism and witch trials, so feel free to hit me up for that!

Summary: Nico wriggled out of his trousers and his underthings, enjoying himself when he saw Yusuf's gaze get warmer. All these years and he still loved the way Yusuf looked at his body, like a prize he was covetous of. Nico liked being coveted.

"You're not undressed," he said, and Yusuf kicked off his final layers, exposing his whole body to the evening air. Outside, Nico could still hear the bustle of the street, mothers calling out for their children, old men arguing, someone laughing, but in their room, in their bed, it was just the two of them, as it always had been.
