    Summary

    Gneiss is a high grade metamorphic rock, meaning that it has been subjected to higher temperatures and pressures than schist. It is formed by the metamorphosis of granite, or sedimentary rock. Gneiss displays distinct foliation, representing alternating layers composed of different minerals. However, unlike slate and schist, gneiss does not preferentially break along planes of foliation because less than 50% of the minerals formed during the metamorphism are aligned in thin layers. Because of the coarseness of the foliation, the layers are often sub-parallel, i.e. they do not have a constant thickness, and discontinuous.

    Gneiss is typically associated with major mountain building episodes. During these episodes, sedimentary or felsic igneous rocks are subjected to great pressures and temperatures generated by great depth of burial, proximity to igneous intrusions and the tectonic forces generated during such episodes. Gneisses from western Greenland comprise the oldest crustal rocks known (more than 3.5 billion years old). Gneiss is an old German word meaning bright or sparkling.

    Summary

    From the second Newt had begun to say the word “Excalibur,” Aziraphale's eyes had shot to Crowley and fixed him with a glare that might have discorperated a lesser demon. He didn't say a word, but just kept his eyes fixed on the demon's back until he began to squirm and finally turned to face the angel.

    “It has been over fifteen hundred bleeding years, Angel, why can't you just let this go? I got your ruddy sword back eventually!”

    Summary

    This is essentially just Wallace and Gromit's 'A Grand Day Out' but Ineffable.

    There is no cheese left in the house and Aziraphale is hungry so, naturally, he persuades Crowley to turn the Bentley into a rocket and drive to the moon because everyone knows the moon is made of cheese. (Aziraphale may know a lot of things, but how the moon works is not one of them. And no, Crowley was not responsible for faking the moon landing. The Point Is he was responsible for people THINKING someone faked the moon landing. It made more sense on paper.)

    Summary

    The annual pumpkin chucking competition just got a little more exciting when an unknown, ragtag team of a fae, a ghost, a wizard, and a centaur come to challenge the reigning champions, the werewolves. Rey has always wanted to compete, but she didn't plan on one of her teammates suddenly finding her soulmate from among the werewolves they're competing against. Trying to keep their pumpkin chucking trebuchet plans a secret just got that much harder.

    The only thing that's more frustrating is trying to deny the attraction she feels for the alpha of the pack and leader of the werewolf team, Ben Solo. There's just something about his scent...
