    Summary

    In 1898, the court case of Wong Kim Ark v. United States won birthright citizenship for all children born in America. What happened to Wong Kim Ark afterward? How did victory in this landmark court case affect his life? In the period of Chinese Exclusion, a combination of laws made it nearly impossible for him to build a family in America. Instead, he married in China and visited his family 4 times over 35 years. As the original native-born citizen, Wong Kim Ark’s own sons could not be born in America.

    In 1925, eleven year old Wong Yook Jim, youngest son of Wong Kim Ark, steps onto a steamship bound for America to see his father for the first time.

    Summary

    ‘Just so I understand,’ Izzy says, voice steely in a way that would have most men quaking with fear, but only earns him an indulgent smile from Stede, ‘you’re going to enforce mandatory bonding time for me with the rest of the crew so that I can… learn to get along with them?’


    Or, Stede organises a sleepover to try and get to know Izzy better. Somewhere in between wearing Stede's clothes and getting his nails painted, Izzy loses his mind.

    Summary

    “All this time,” Jaskier says a little wildly, “all this time I have been assuming that you spend your winters in your secret witcher fortress doing - witchery things. Sparring, and going out and hunting boar through snowy forests, and mending armor, and all that sort of warrior business. And now it turns out you actually spend your time getting drunk and lying about Zerrikanian vocabulary!”

    Geralt hums. He looks, Jaskier sees when he peers through his fingers, distinctly amused. Both corners of his mouth are turned up. “To be fair,” he says, “we also spar, and hunt boar, and mend armor.”
