Summary
While numerous studies have been conducted on the effects of captivity on other classes of vertebrates, very few studies have investigated the effects of captivity and its related stresses on amphibians. Chronic stress results in elevated levels of corticosterone (CORT) released from the adrenocortical cells, which in turn result in hyperglycemia, anorexia, and changes in behavior.

Summary
“What?” Harry says, sputtering while he wipes the blood whisky from his mouth with a gag. “What?”
“You know what,” Lewis says, not bothering any attempt to hide the lisp of his voice. He’s not sure that Harry really does know, though; he knows that Harry’s probably seen Dracula, or Nosferatu, but he might also think that Lewis is just plain cracked.
“I knew there was a reason you never let me have any,” Harry says, kicking at the Vat69 bottle, as he wipes at his face and mouth with a dirty ball of gloves.
Lewis groans while shoving his head into his hands. He stares at the ground, waiting... and waiting, but Harry doesn’t do more than continue to make disgusted noises in front of him. “Why aren’t you off to get a pitchfork and mob?”
“Too tired, honestly,” Harry says, while throwing the gloves into the back of the foxhole. “I can’t run through the snow.”

So sweet and satisfying I could cry. Hoosier with a little sister as cute as Abby is something I didn’t know I needed but I absolutely do. 11/10

Summary
Suddenly, and as clearly as if he read it in the histories in the Benning library, Ron envisions this strong, sad-faced man bleeding into grey French earth, and then gathered up, dead, by the enemy, bound for a mass grave. He wants to seize the sergeant’s hand and drag him away from Herbert Sobel’s company, make him impossible promises, swear on God that although he may die he will never be led foolishly and his life will not go to waste. Ron stands very still. He is a stranger to himself. He can’t remember ever wanting anything so much, except death.

Actually exquisite. The naked examination of a pain so acute and exact hits so hard. Reminds me of those small moments when I realized I wanted to keep living.

Summary
Ralph Spina watches the line. (He also watches Babe and Roe).
He slides into the foxhole and only then notices that Roe and Babe are linked at the mouth. Babe’s hands fly away from Roe’s face as he says, “Spina! It’s not-”
It is what it looks like, Ralph thinks. He isn’t shocked.
“I can watch the line for you,” Ralph says, “if you want.”Bookmarked by albertblithe (Gabbaroni)

Is this how Lew feels about whiskey, Dick wonders? A thing so many people wouldn’t approve of, a thing against which there are rules, but somehow, a thing for which you find a reason to ignore the rules.

Summary
“I’m sorry. Really, I’m sorry. It’s just…you went into heat…while on suppressants…because you saw me box?”
June 4th, 1944. Lewis Nixon is many unfortunate things. A soldier. An alcoholic. An omega. An agnostic. About to jump into one of the deadliest active war zones in military history. In heat. In love.
Fortunately, Dick is a few of those things too.
(Based on true events…loosely.)

Summary
[Excerpt from Deadspin]
"You all remember Eddie Jones, right? The corn-fed captain of the New Orleans Rougarou so wholesome he belongs on a box of Malt-O-Meal? The gentleman bruiser who spends his free time playing country tunes for kids with cancer?
Our favorite dapper D-man led his team to 97 points last night in a shut-out victory against the Los Angeles Kings, clinching a playoff spot for the first time in franchise history. Oh! And he also got caught on camera at the after-party, sucking face. WITH A DUDE."
(Or: the "accidentally outed" hockey AU that nobody asked for.)

Summary
"Is nobody going to say we can’t do this here?” Nix asks, gaze flicking between them. His voice is colored with lust, but there’s a slightly astonished expression on his face which makes Ron grin wider.
It's ridiculous that of the three of them, Nix is the one acting scandalized. He’s not. He's probably just trying to work out how he’s gotten this lucky and which devil he needs to sell his soul to in order to keep it that way.

Summary
The war is now behind him, a dead thing, but it follows Carwood still, a terrible ghost that has made him its haunt. He no longer knows himself and feels untethered in his own hometown. There is still blood on his hands that he can't wash off and there is a man stuck in his mind that he can't move on from.
There is nothing to be done about any of these things. It's just a matter of how long he can bare the weight of it all on his shoulders.

"The fact that there are two of you is bad enough," Brad muttered, arms folded in disgust as he watched them grapple on the floor over the remote, "But why does one of you have to be a goddamn chick?"

Summary
"Ray was not an idiot. He might have looked like one, he might have acted like one, but he definitely wasn’t one and that meant he knew better than to accept a full-on secret USB from a frantic man in the parking lot."
Ray used to think he'd made a great Jason Bourne, but now he knows that he'd rather live in the role of the friendly comic relief that gets to spend half the time in a chair hacking into street cameras. Unfortunately, he didn't get the choice.
