So JGL retweeted someone linking to a song of his with a <3 and there is enough adorbs there to hold me for a long time -- but wait! It gets better! Because the song is apparently something he wrote in college for a French literature class.

...

Am I the only one in paroxysms of glee picturing this? Joe. French. Poetry. Singing. College. IT IS EVERYTHING GREAT IN ONE PLACE. And it leads to amazing fic places!

I mean, first of all, any fic where we get bb!Arthur studying French poetry is destined for greatness. You could have prof!Eames or dorm roommate!Eames (who mocks French poetry, no doubt) or fellow student!Eames (who gets into a battle with Arthur over the last copy of de Musset or whatever and there is antipathy and lust). You could have 10 Things shout-out fic where Arthur pretends to speak French to tutor that sort of thug-looking guy with the tats who is flunking out of French 101.

And then there's Steinway!Arthur, who has to take a 200-level literature class for his degree and chooses French and promptly spends a semester being broody and dark and playing a lot of Ravel and Debussy.

And, since my high school AU!Arthur is rly just a very poorly-disguised Joe avatar, there could be sequel fic in which they are in college together and Arthur gets obsessed with Camus and becomes acquainted with the canon!Arthur yet to come.

IT IS ALL GREAT. *chinhands* ANYTHING ELSE???
