July fic #01: Latin Phrase

Sherlock's head was tucked his head under John's chin, his cheek rested on the doctor's chest,"In absentia lucis, Tenebrae vincunt."

"Uh- in absence of light-" John picked his brain for any Latin he may have tucked away,"I got nothing."

"In absence of light, darkness prevails,"the consulting detective tipped his head up to gently kiss along John's neck,"and you are my conductor of light."

He hummed, wrapping an arm around Sherlock's waist,"Say it again?"

"In absentia lucis," a pair of soft lips resting on John's pulse point, the deep voice reverberating through his body,"Tenebrae vincunt," Sherlock nipped at the skin before scooting back on the bed to get a look at his partner's face,"I won't be in the dark, not as long as I have you."

John smiled, pulling him into a searing kiss,"Then you'll have my light eternally," he lightly brushed his fingers along Sherlock's side, making him wiggle and laugh,"No matter how much it bothers you."

"You're the least irritating thing about eternity."

"Thanks love," They embraced once more, a comforting warmth between them.

My Favorite Latin Phrases Pt.4

A long time ago, I actually feel like years ago, I did Latin phrases pt.3. And I don't know how I remembered to do it again, but at a whim, I just decided to learn more phrases. So, here you go:

ad undas

to the waves/to hell (sounds something that Sylvia Plath would probably write)

per noctem in nihilo vehil

to vanish by night into nothing (a sentence actually)

thus the world was created

tempus edax rerum

time, devourer of everything

luctor et emergo

I struggle and emerge

factum fieri infectum non potest

it is impossible for a deed to be undone

aquila non capit muscas

the eagle does not catch flies (this phrase has such a deep meaning and can be applied in various scenarios. But I can mostly think of it in a political way. LOL)

persona non grata

an unwelcome person (I have an abundance of these in my life.)

mea culpa

by my fault (V for Vendetta anyone?)

vera sumnio

I dream true things

multa paucis

carpe vinum

mortal actions never deceive the God

quid pro quo

something for something (or this for that)

nemo mortalium cmnibus horis sapit

of mortal men, none is wise at all times

ipso facto

by that very fact (mostly used in philosophy, science, and law, etc)

lupus non timet canem latrantem

a wolf is not afraid of a barking dog (I'm trying to become this wolf)

in absentia

while absent (used in legal stuff)

astra inclinant sed non obligant

the stars incline us but do not bind us (I'm going crazy over this sentence)

prima facie

on first view (another legal term)

and the best for the last which I read in a blog;

in girum imus nocte et consumimur

we enter the circle by night and are consumed by the fire (read the Latin sentence backward, it's actually a palindrome!)

If you have more to add, please do it happily. I would love to learn about your favorite phrases, no matter what language they belong to. Because I think, the choice of words of a person tells a lot about them.

Pertransiit benefaciendo 

"Pertransiit benefaciendo is a Latin phrase which means "He went about doing good". The first word may synonymously be spelled pertransivit. When spelled pertransit it means "He goes about" (present tense).

It is applied to one who has died, to show that they have done good in their life"(wikipedia)

[imjovial]

Amor Fati

Amor fati (lit. "love of fate") is a Latin phrase that may be translated as "love of fate" or "love of one's fate". It is used to describe an attitude in which one sees everything that happens in one's life, including suffering and loss, as good or, at the very least, necessary. Moreover, amor fati is characterized by an acceptance of the events or situations that occur in one's life.
