    Summary

    When Edmund Blackadder, bloodied from shrapnel and ears ringing from the shelling, stumbled over Captain Darling's body caught in a tangle of barbed wire, he did not, despite many assurances towards it over the years, laugh, clap, and dance.
    Instead, Blackadder took in the dark-wet definitely-not-mud stain spread all over Darling's uniformed chest, the pistol lax in his grip, his unseeing eyes turned up towards the overcast sky, and said, "oh, bloody buggering hell."

    "Quite," agreed Darling, squinting down at his own corpse; and, despite the unfortunate circumstances, took great pleasure in hearing Blackadder scream like a little girl.

    Summary

    Jonathan Strange, in his typical fashion, is pursuing a spell which will identify a person’s secondary gender. Both Norrell and Childermass are opposed to such a spell — rightfully so, as when it is finally cast, it will set off a chain of events that will fundamentally alter not only the relationships of the three gentlemen, but also the fate of English magic, forever.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I still love the way Martha writes, both the style and the manner. Very particularly that, like M R James, she tends to write to a point just short of what I find uncomfortable in horror, and stay at disturbing. Part of the "disturbing" is about mental health, stigma, and treatment, which is a powerful subject to me.

    (I'd also love to see her original fic up here, even though it seems it'll never be finished).

    Summary

    The year is 1773, and various churches in Europe are in a race to convert the newly-contacted peoples of South America to their particular flavor of Christianity. But something strange has been going on: the missionaries keep vanishing and nobody knows what's been happening to them, not even Heaven or Hell. So, of course, they both had to send their 'best' Earth-side observers to get some answers.

    ...They're going to wish they hadn't. And so are the observers.

    (tl;dr Azi gets cursed by a Mayan god, and he and Crowley have to figure out how to break it before it's too late. READ THE TAGS.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The horror and tension aspects of this really work! I have also been reading pro fiction from an author on LibraryThing that wasn't half as well-written.

    Following a bookmark from 5-door Wasabi (Indica).
