An Idol Proposition

gretchensinister:

It seemed like a good day to post a blacksand AU, you know?

Here’s the return of the Indiana Jones/Necromancy/Related Things AU from forever ago. Cosmo Black is back teaching again, after his…unusual sabbatical…

But Dr. Sanderson has a question for him where the answer is most definitely not on the syllabus.


           Dr. Sanderson ducked into the lecture hall just in time to hear Dr. Black say, in an impressively bored voice, “And that concludes our first lecture of Introduction to Paleontology. Does anyone have any questions?”

           Every hand shot up.

           Dr. Black surveyed the class. True, his eyes were gray again, not the strange blazing yellow they had been one year before, but Dr. Sanderson was willing to be that they could still give more than a few undergraduates the chills. Those eyes always sent shivers up his spine, anyway. But then again perhaps he was biased.

           “I will remind you,” said Dr. Black, “that the university has granted me discretion to automatically fail any student that brings up the incident involving the Field Museum in any of my classes.”
