Why this must be read:

So I'm an AU nut, what of it? Esca is a house master at a 50s boarding school and Marcus is the new Latin teacher. The canon is really neatly updated here with the post-WWII setting providing the divide between Italian Marcus and the rest of the British staff. Esca's reluctant slide towards friendship as Marcus sets about trying to charm him is a perfect delicious contrast to the freezing backdrop of the story. It has lovely realistic OCs, adorable food-tasting, and the UST is to die for.
