Giving Ground : Another Step in the Wide Green World by Bracketyjack
Fandoms: Sharing Knife - Lois McMaster Bujold, BUJOLD Lois McMaster - Works
16 Jul 2021
Tags
Summary
A canon-compliant novella continuing *The Sharing Knife*. When you save the world by teaching a malice mortality, you have to get up the next day and save it all over again. That's a given. But with a new home in Clear Creek and little Nattie-Mari's future to think on, Dag and Fawn want to do everything they can to make saving the world easier for everyone ...
No archive warnings apply, but sharing knives need deaths to prime them, and bones to be carved from, so a trigger warning for assisted suicide is in order.

PodFic - Lady Knight Volant by BracketyJack by AcidaliaP
Fandoms: Protector of the Small - Tamora Pierce, PIERCE Tamora - Works, Tortall - Tamora Pierce
16 Sep 2021
Tags
Summary
This is an audio recording of the fan fiction Lady Knight Volant, written by BracketyJack and narrated by AcidaliaP. Lady Knight Volant is a fan fiction of, ostensibly, the novel Lady Knight, written by Tamora Pierce, but it is influenced by and covers topics from the whole of the Tortallan Series. It has a rating of Teen and Up, and has warnings for Graphic Depictions of Violence and Rape or Non-con. Per BracketyJack: "This novel is canon compliant with events before Rathhausak, but overwrites the last chapter and epilogue of Lady Knight, and shifts the dates of various weddings. Most but not all canonical and extracanonical facts are adopted." Please see the linked text version for further author's notes about the writing process, as well as visual aids and acknowledgements by BracketyJack.

No one had ever expected a critical theory conference to end so poorly. The worst you could usually expect was that someone would get wine thrown on them.

Fandoms: Vorkosigan Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold
10 Oct 2011

Summary
An examination of the how plants fit into the Vorkosiverse, with special reference to Ekaterin and her place in Miles's life. This essay was written in 2007 and originally posted on my LiveJournal. I've made a couple of small edits based on the comments there. Spoilers for all the books through Diplomatic Immunity.

Bookmarker's Notes
An outstanding piece on a central theme, topos, and trope of the Vorkosiverse -- insight for all.
